- lesson learned. if you download apps on your phone make sure to sync the phone to your computer just in case something happens. if it does it again or hell even if not go to Apple and tell them to give you a new one.08-04-2010 09:21 AMLike 0
- ^^^^ He's correct. However there is no guarantee all the apps will be online. Perhaps a developer pulled their program for whatever reason. Just an FYI.08-04-2010 10:56 AMLike 0

I did find a way to successfully remedy this situation with a jerryrig fix for those who don't want to chance getting a replacement iPhone 4 with other problems. What you have to do is turn the SIM card holder upside down and locate the notch on the inside part that falls in line with the cut out area at the bottom of the SIM card spot on the phone (when the SIM card holder is removed, you can see what I'm talking about perfectly). Place a few thin strips of double-sided tape on the notch area of the SIM card holder as this will stabilize the holder so it won't occillate or move within the phone causing the metal contacts to lose their connection. Before I sent my replacement in, the SIM card error was happening 5 minutes after I put the SIM card back in the phone. After I tried this fix, it never happened again for about 2 days until I received my new iPhone 4. The reason I didn't keep it is I don't feel I should have to "jerryrig" a fine product such as this just to get it to work. I'm sure many of you will feel the same way.Last edited by Watcher; 08-04-2010 at 11:33 AM.

It will be hard to me to return my iphone because i bought it on UK and I'm on Brazil, were there are not official istores and iphones are sold (and maintenance is provided) by the mobile operators only (I can bet they will not deal with an iphone that was not bought from them). So I guess i really NEED another solution12-13-2010 08:45 AMLike 0
