Help no SIM, no SD

[northernale1]

no sd, no sim,, no workie,, I understand the phone wouldnt work,, but i atleast the media player and other stuff would work,, but not with SE,,

so any others want to try with no sim,, being interesting to see if it is a carrier thing,,, rogers canada

no sd, no sim,, no workie,, I understand the phone wouldnt work,, but i atleast the media player and other stuff would work,, but not with SE,,

Highly doubtful with most as media is usually stored on the SD card

Kinda like asking a PC to work with no hard-drive

what i call in the industry as a NO-BRAINER

(though web browsing through WiFi does work - which means browser, tweetcaster etc that works through data only)

 

[northernale1]

ummm,,, no web browsing or anything,, boots to emergency call only

and is there no internal memory at all,,

and boots up with no sd card with sim card,, ,,and does all kinds of stuff,,, no sim no workie,,,

so much for your no brainer on the sd card

 

[MrWomble]

well of course its a no brainer - the MEDIA for the MEDIA PLAYER is stored on the SD CARD

jesus - you asked, i replied, so yes it is a no brainer - of course the phone will boot up, anything on the INTERNAL memory (ie all installed APK's) will function, as long as they don't require information from the SD card or Mobile Network

And i'm sorry, but i am web browsing right now with no sim card and no sd card

iphone 3g works with no sim,,, samsung captivate works with no sim,,,,

 

[MrWomble]

well can you please supply a video of these 2 phones working without a sim card please, would love to see them sending texts, making phone calls etc

 

[northernale1]

so what app do you want to see it using,, skype , fring,, take photos ,, use calculator,, media player,, web browse,,, all that and more with no sim,,,,

x10 i cant even get to home screen with no sim,,,

 

[MrWomble]

well my X10i IS loading up without a SIM in it

I CAN get to my homescreen, i can access my emails, i can web browse

just can't send texts, pictures or make calls

Not my fault your phone is on a dodgy network branding is it

Which if you'd been clearer in your first post would have made life easier the last half hour

Keep it clean guys. Merged the last post and first post to make the thread more clear (also OP it might be helpful to state your carrier).

I am keeping it clean

Android phones are designed to run applications etc without the sim card in place - this is across ALL handsets as its a feature in the OS not in the handset ROM

The original poster is claiming that the SE X10 is incapable of this simply because its Sony - its well documented in the threads that the OP has a hate campaign against the X10 so i am just putting forward the truths of the handset

 

[northernale1]

as i ask this legititmate question this is what i get with no sim card and i can only move forward to emergency call dial screen,,,
input from decent people will be much appreciated
curious to see if this is possible to by pass,,,,

 

[northernale1]

so i updated phone to 2.1 and now am able to get to apps with no sim or sd card,, so it must have been a 1.6 thing,,,

Well if you'd said you were on 1.6 in the first place i could have told you that
