Droid DNA Problem, No SIM card error

Hi

I recently upgraded my device to a Droid DNA from HTC. Every so often I get an error message that there is no SIM card in the phone, and I lose the ability to receive or make calls. Usually restarting the device fixes this. I find it obnoxious that I need to restart each day.  Has anyone else been seeing this bug?

Thanks

tony

I understand just venting I guess.  Have already emailed them directly and just sick of going to a VZW corporate store to get new sim card and/or phone replaced (On my 3rd DNA now).  Hopefully a fix happens soon with this issue.

Ok, good news for me. My 3rd DNA started to get the no "sim card" error again like every DNA I have owned.  Went to a corporate store and complained again, after about 1hour of haggling with the CS rep I got to speak with a store Mgr where she finally pulled up all of my past experiences, calls to customer care, visits to the 2 different stores about my DNA and she finally made an exception for me and they bought back my DNA for $250(which is weird since I only paid $200 when I upgraded) and then retro'ed my upgrade status so I could use it for another device.  I got a Note2, had to pay the difference of about $100 to get it but I walked out of the store a happy VZW customer.  I say give it a try yourself and fyi the Note2 is absolutely awesome device and I should have gotten it to start off with........ I encourage anybody else on this thread to go to your local corporate store and do what I did but be calm in how you go about doing it and show your aggravation do not explode at them with anger b/c it's really not their fault and hopefully you will be taken care of just as I was.  I really gotta give VZW major props in this situation as they ended up handling it very good and made me a happy customer.

Hope you all have the same luck as I did......

It looks like there is a fix coming in an OTA update from VZW.  I hope this update takes care of all who is having this major sim card issue, see link below:

Is anybody else experiencing the same thing as me when trying to check for

a manual update? It says checking for update but never notifies whether you

are up to date or not? It just keeps checking...

The update might not have started pushing out to customers quite yet.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I got a new sim card and it didn't do it for about 10 days then it happened

twice in one day and I thought here we go again. But its now been about

another 10 days and I've been good so far... Knock on wood

I'm hopeful the update will fix the sim card issue but not optimistic since there is no mention of this issue being fixed when you read about the update.  Fingers crossed.

Unless they are intentionally not mentioning it to cover their ass. Same

reason why every person you speak to acts as if you are the only person

that is experiencing this issue. Its widespread, and I've gone to several

different Verizon stores and they all said they haven't heard of this

before. Seems strange to me...

My update was available last night so I installed it. No problem yet.

Please u update if any of you have the SIM card problem after you update.

The features of this update didn't mention anything about the SIM card

error.

Same problem here. Sounds like this phone is a lemon. Going to take it back and get a different phone.

Same. Installed the update last night. Woke up to "No SIM card". Heading to the Verizon store tomorrow to get rid of this turkey and going to make sure to hit all the Motorola forums and warn people about this phone.
