Update<\/strong>: The trick also works on the\u00a0HTC One M8<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0One M9<\/a><\/strong>, and HTC 10.<\/p>\n

The HTC One is a beautifully designed device and this is almost the first time we see a device that overcomes Apple’s iPhones in terms of design.\u00a0I couldn’t understand why the HTC One couldn’t sell as much as the Samsung Galaxy phones but now I totally get it.<\/p>\n

Apart from the defects I mentioned in the HTC One review<\/a>, I just figured out another issue with the phone. It is another manufacturing issue.<\/p>\n

The One worked well in the first 2 weeks but then suddenly I got the no SIM card error. The phone couldn’t detect my T-Mobile SIM card even though I placed it very carefully on the SIM tray.<\/p>\n

I tried removing and inserting again but it didn’t work. Then I followed some guides on the Internet, I turned off the Fast Boot option, then restarted, still no SIM card detected. Another guide told me to reset the device, I did but it didn’t solve the problem as well.<\/p>\n

Although those solutions didn’t work, they helped me figure out that the problem is probably caused by the connection between SIM card and the device. I used a brand new T-Mobile SIM card and insert to the HTC One but it still can’t detect the SIM card.<\/p>\n

Then I remembered a trick I did on my old phone when it had the same issue. Amazingly, it solved the No SIM card error immediately. Here is what I did:<\/p>\n

\"no-sim-card-error-fix\"<\/p>\n

I applied a layer of transparent tape (or two, depends on its thickness)\u00a0on top of the SIM card, then I cut the tape so that it fits\u00a0the card. Insert to the HTC One and the SIM card is detected now.<\/p>\n

It is that simple. The problem is caused by the loose connection between the SIM card and its contacts on HTC One.<\/p>\n

This is really a significant build issue and I am very disappointed with the HTC’s flagship phone. HTC’s phones always have problems in quality control and I saw a lot of complaints about this error.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, you guys will find this post useful. Let me know if you have the same problem on your HTC One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
