Sim card re-reading via commandline?
-
Had issues in France using roaming and beeing cut off the phone/data net (no sim card detected...) many times during the day. Is it possible to re-read the sim card with a command in the terminal? Or is the only solution restarting the phone?

Any suggestions?

Can you do emergency call (is it available)?
Did you tried to insert it in another phone (could be an hardware problem) or a misplaced card or a connector problem?
Is your card compatible with french network (2G voLTE switch)?
Reinsert the card should detect it. -
@Vlad-Nirky The card works well again since I am back from France = no cut offs any more.
Sim card itself and contacts inside phone were o.k.
Card worked in France flawlessly. But it was completely cut off up to 5 times a day with the phone lying on the desk without touching it and I had to restart the phone to get it working again...
So I thought on the possibility (?) to re-read the sim card from command line without restarting the phone... -
@uwahl You could try restarting the ofono service with
$ sudo systemctl restart ofono -

You can also try to put plane mode on then off.

@Keneda Putting plane mode on then off does not work/ doesn't change the "no sim card detected"...

@uwahl
Did you try what @arubislander told you ? -
@Keneda ...not yet. I will try later and tell you. Please let me a few hours..., thanks...

@Keneda @arubislander
I tried to reproduce the behaviour in France:
Getting the state " no simcard present", I removed the simcard while ubuntu touch running. But when reinserting the simcard, it was automatically re-read flawlessly...so there was no chance for me to test under the conditions I had in France - that was a running ubuntu touch with a simcard correctly in place and the phone showing "no sim card present"...
Of course, the command given by arubislander worked, the simcard was re-read; but the conditions were different from France, where the sim was not re-read/ couldn't be reactivated, although being in place untouched.
Here in Germany there is no more problem. The phone has still its secrets
as it seems... -
@uwahl
I would say that each mobile service provider has its own infrastructure, its own configurations, and its own problems.
From Belgium to France, with Orange, I haven't had any issues. -
@Vlad-Nirky I will mark the thread as solved although I couldn't reproduce the orginal faulty conditions of France (Orange/ 1&1).- Maybe next time...
Thank you for your answers! -
U uwahl has marked this topic as solved
