Tytn II problems = SD card

hello there to everybody on the xda-forums . Rob here from South Africa , I have been having a weird problem lately with my TYTN II , let me explain .
I purchased a tytn from a local dealership and the purchased a 2gig sd card from another supplier and then proceeded to use the memory card in the phone ( to store pricelists etc.) the problem I then got was that the phone started switching off , well not really switching off , but when you pressed the power button nothing would come on the screen although the green "standby" light was flashing . I would then have to do a soft reset everytime to start the phone up again , the weird part is , is that it doesn't do it frequently , sometime 3 times a day sometimes only every 3 days . Well to cut a lond story short , I have since been through 3 new phones from the supplier and thay were all doing the same thing hence me thinking that it can only be the sd card or the sim card , well since monday I have got a new phone , did a hard reset and have not used my sd card and guess what the phone has not "switched off"
My question is to fellow Forum members , has anybody else out there had similar problems ???

[Q] Help! LG G2 D802 LOCKED!

Hello guys,
I've bought brand new LG G2 D802 32GB from ebay india. So far i'm very impressed with this beast's performance. However i'm unable to get my simcard to work. It says "No sim card " on lock screen. Also when i dial " 2945#*802# " and tries to tap on network lock. I get this message
It says : This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked, Same thing on all other options in that menu,Seriously ? this is international version and supposed to be unlocked ?
My network provider is Airtel (sim type - GSM)
Is there any way to get out of this ? My sim card works fine on other phones so it's LG's issue here.
Software version is D80210F-sea-xx Jelly bean 4.2.2
Thing's i've tried :
Turn off the phone completely, taken out sim and pop in again and wait 2 minute before powering it on again. Doesn't work.
Factory reset - Doesn't work.
What should i do ? Any workaround ? Is my phone Hard locked ?Does gold color has anything to do with this ? I barely see it in online reviews!

Are you sure it's brand new?
"permanently locked" and "bought on ebay" doesnt smells right to me.....
Try other SIMs...but I think you maybe got scamed......
Nope, i haven't try other sims yet. I got only one Micro sim. I don't think i've got scammed. The seller sold over 20 phones in less than 24 hours. He has 99% positive rating too. I'll contact him about this issue too. ATM i'm looking for some DIY fix. Will root solve my problem ? I heard you can do some tweaks in EFS partition to get unlock!
Further more i read somewhere that you need to type unlock code atleast 10 times to get this happen. Seriously ? I didn't typed even a single time since there is no such option available!
Please help! I'm ready to root if it solve my issue
BUMP! I really need urgent help! Come on XDA! There needs to be solution! I'm shocked that i didn't even get 10 attempts like everyone else :| DO Lg sends Pre-locked phones ?

Xiaomi Redmi 3S ordered from Top One not working

Hello!
I ordered my Xiaomi Redmi 3S via Top One Store and it stopped working after 3 days. It says there is no signal. I tried inserting different SIM cards and it doesn't work with any of them. I tried my SIM with other phones and it works with ALL of them except for Redmi 3S. I wrote to the seller and they weren't responding very quickly. So, I opened a dispute (on Aliexpress) and they wanted me to upload the video showing that I insert SIM card in Redmi 3S and there is no signal and how I insert SIM in another phone (Samsung) and it works. I did just that and there were only 2 bars of signal on Samsung, so they wrote that of course it doesn't work on Redmi if there is weak signal on Samsung. So I had to upload another video with 100% signal on Samsung phone. I shot a video they required but I couldn't upload the video because Aliexpress website had problems. I reported about being unable to upload the video to customer service twice and they guaranteed they will fix the problem (I also have screenshots of them promising me they will fix the problem). My time for uploading the evidence was up because they didn't fix the problem, so my money was released to the seller. I wrote an appeal but it was declined. Now, Top One is not responding, I contacted them several times and there is no reply. I tried everything, flashing the phone, uploading different types of ROM (global, developer's, user's), I also unlocked the boot loader lock. Nothing works. The thing is that there shouldn't be a problem with the carrier because my sister has the same phone and the same carrier and her phone works perfectly. There is a problem with my phone in particular.
I also contacted several other Xiaomi sellers and they only fix their own phones. I contacted official Xiaomi HK Maintenance Service and they figured out that my phone is not a genuine HK version, so they can't fix it because they only fix genuine versions.
Do you have any ideas what I should do? Because Top One is not responding, I can't leave them feedback about the product because so much time has passed while I was writing to different sellers and trying different settings.
Do you know where they repair Xiaomi phones?
I would appreciate any help suggestions and ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

No sim card detected

Long story short: I bought a Xiaomi mi 9t and as soon as I started it for the first time both sim can't be detected. Sometimes it tries to detect the sim card number one but it fails shortly after.
So far I've factory updated to the latest MIUI and factory resetted some times, but the problem persists.
I've noticed the sim slot sometimes scrapes my sim card and on the side of the phone there was a short piece of plastic that came out of the case, which I removed.
What could it be? Defective sim card slot or maybe something software wise?
EDIT: forgot to add that I've already tried with multiple other sim cards and they all show the same problem.
Kind regards
Does the sim card work in another phone?

Yes, it does.
Had the exact same problem but it went away with the latest update, (Global 10.3.10.0). I am not, however sure that it is a software problem since the sim-card was detected after giving the sim-card tray an extra push. Have not have any problem since the first day.

I'm glad it went away for you, but I can't find the 10.3.10 MIUI, I have 10.3.9
EDIT: I've found the 10.3.10 but it's EU and I can't seem to install it because I have global rom. Any way to switch without unlocking the bootloader?
@4ur0r did you get it fixed?
I bought a mi 9t with the same problem : /
It's a global version with MIUI 10.3.11
I'm having the same issue. It was working fine for me for weeks even after unlocking the bootloader n using pixel experience rom.
One day the phone lost signal and never came back. I thought it was a carrier issue so i contacted mint sim, they sent me a different sim card. But same issue, then i tried the sim on a different phone and it worked so now i know something is wrong with this phone.
Same issue here. Just got my new phone today, latest update is on. Literally sim will go undetected after about 5 minutes.
I have the same issue. I find out workaround. You have to insert 2 sim card and than smartphone detect all sims.
Got the same issue, even installing a new SIM card reader.
Someone know how to fix it?
mine had the problem, turned out most MI 9t have Sim card hardware broken. i went back and replaced it
I purchased Redmi k20 on 12-11-2020
But after 4 days it shows no sim what can I do for this problem
