Problem with sim card

[Guest Mesme]

Hi all

I write to tell you a problem my friend have with our Acer liquid metal.

His phone doesn't recognized any sim card ! The problem appeared sometimes with stock rom but now i flashed for him the performance rom the problem seems to be permanent and we can't find a solution... i tried to mount several sim card on his phone but the phone tells there's no sim and only emergency calls are possible. I tried to re-flash the rom but nothing changed! So i think is an hardware problem! Is there something i could do before send it to Acer?

if changin the software won't work with any sd it probably mean his card reader inside the phone is broken...it's an hardware problem in my opinion, he should refer to the assistance

I have the same problem. Is the phone fixed now? How do I get it repaired?

Hi,

I have a similar problem.

I changed my provider, so I got a new sim card.

The sim card work fine on a htc tattoo (older phone) but no on my acer liquid metal.

The phone was blocked on SFR network (but now I believe it's unlocked with the latest update), but that not the problem since my sim card is SFR too! (french network).

I tried another SFR sim, and same problem, it don't work on the acer liquid metal.

I tried two custom rom, lewa os (september version witch was working perfectly with my old sim) and the latest lewa os (february version) and I got a "no service" when I power the phone, and I don't get prompted to enter the sim code...

I tried another custom rom (holo-cm7) but same problem.

So I decided to flash the stock rom, and with the stock rom it work!

But I want a custom rom, so I tried to flash again a custom rom with full wipe, it doesn't work.

Then I flashed a custom without any wipe, with the hope that my sim card will be seen, but no luck again.

I tried that with the 3 custom rom I mentionned above (so it took my all the afternoon for nothing xD).

After I tried *#*#4636#*#* and changed all the network settings that I can (cdma, gsm, gsm prl, gsm cdma prl auto, and I don't remember the others lol).

But I never get promped to enter the sim code.

I'm really desespered, so I hope someone will know what this problem is related to, because now I became crazy!

Thanks for the help, and sorry for this long message, but I wanted to explain all the problem.
