HTC DROID DNA – SIM card not detected issue – what fixed it for me
I’ve been using the HTC DROID DNA since mid-November and today I experienced for the first time the dreaded “SIM Card not detected” issue. Actually, I didn’t know it was a dreaded issue until I Googled for “DROID DNA SIM card not detected”. I found a number of threads in different forums about it. The solutions that worked are listed below, in no particular order:
- Reboot the phone.
- Go into and then out of Airplane Mode.
- Pop the SIM card tray out, remove, clean, and reseat the SIM card and slide the tray back in.
- Do a hard reset of the phone.
- Go to the nearest Verizon store and get a new SIM card.
- Go to the nearest Verizon store and get a replacement phone.
I tried No. 1 and No. 2 a number of times and it didn’t fix the problem, so onto No. 3. which did work. Here’s a link with instructions on how to insert and remove the SIM Card on the DROID DNA – the most important thing to remember is to turn off the phone before you start!
