3650 "sim card registration failed" message but phone works otherwise?

[bogu]

My Nokia 3650 started displaying "sim card registration failed" everytime I exit the menu. The phone itself works, I can place and receive calls and have full reception. As far as I know everything else works too, it's just that it's very annoying having that message pop up everytime. I tried the sim in a different phone, works no problem. Any ideas? Could it be caused by some app or game I installed? (It happened on a second day after I started installing different thing and uploading files to it, didn't have a problem before).

have you got the latest firmware on it v4.13 (crappest firmware ive had). i have this on my 3650, and i kept getting the sim registration failed error when exiting the menu, nothing to do with any software i dont think, i just formatted my phone because it wouldnt boot properly since i got this firmware. i dont get that error any more but it still doenst boot perfectly every time.

check out a post called boot problems by sony_ericson, a few people have had the same problem with the sim error

Thanks, I was looking through many pages of posts and couldn't find anything before, this helps a bit, I guess I'm not alone with this...

yep, it's 4.13 , I didn't even bother to check when I bought it, I'll try putting a different sim in the phone and see what happens and probably format the phone as well

well for some reason, any other sim i put in mine was fine, it was just my sim that gave me the error?? no idea why

your sim card is dead go buy another one

I fixed it, all I had to do was put a different sim in the phone, turn it on and off again and put my own sim back in the phone. It works perfectly now.

lol trust me, the sim aint dead. not even a year old and i never take it out. plus it works fine in every other phone ive tried it in. its this crappy firmware nokia released.

they really should try testing it before releasing it

My "SIM-card registration error" just disappeared and I'm not sure why. But the phone still has problems booting. I am fairly certain now that it has something to do with my SIM-card, although it works perfectly in other phones. I'm getting a new SIM-card now. But you are right that the firmware is crappy, since everything worked perfectly with the old firmware.
