Galaxy Note Horror.
Have been getting No SIM CARD error since last 2-3 months now and am losing my head.
Please please somebody suggest a fix.
Here is what all I have tried since start.
My battery Life was getting erratic - replaced the battery. (no sim error went away for a week).
Factory reset randomly helps (no sim error returns within 6-8 hours).
Clear cache, Dalvik, everythiong (no sim error returns within 1-2 days)
Un root and Completely went to Stock (no sim error returns within 1-2 days)
Tried a New Sim - No luck
Used Titanium backup to clean user cache etc etc
Tried paper trick begind sim to make sure sim in in proper contact.
Used ODIN to complete reflash to Stock GB and then update to JB via KIES ((no sim error returns within 1-2 days))
I am out of options now. I love this phone and hate to see what its doing now.
Please please somebody help...
Send it in for repair with Samsung.
It seems like it may be a problem with the SIM card part. You may want to try replacing it yourself, but no guarantees.

If thats the case, why does it work fora day or 2
I have been thinking abt doing it myself, because samsung says they will chanrge minimum, 70$ for the part change and no guarantees.
I don't know why it would work for day or 2. Just a suggestion, since that is the only thing you have not tried.

Thinking of trying one last thing before replacing the SIM Card clot.
Will flashing the Tmobile on ATT make a difference ?
Looking at what you have tried so far, I don't think T-mobile/ATT will make a difference. But, I guess you can try.

Yes you guessed it right. Tried Skeleton Key ROM based on ICS. and no luck...
The ROM looks fabulous but no SIM card
I thinking replacing the SIM Slot is the only option.
Somehow it works ..
Good News
I ordered a replacement SIM Slot from Amazon.
Took 3 weeks to come from China. It took me some time to replace it correctly and a precautionary step.
I am back on Jelly Bean (Stock and Unrooted)
Popped in SIM Card. and Memory card.
It really worked :0
BAD news :
Some how I think the new SIM Slot didnt like my memroy card..
and it fried it.
So I lost most of my pics from last 1 year
Was your memory card in the slot as you reassembled the back? It breaks every time. It happened to me twice.

Naah, the card and SIM were both out. There is no physical damage to Card
I think when I reconnected the SIM Slot on Main motherboard something fried the card.
never expected this to happen.
No sim card weird solution in my case
I had this problem for a week and got rid of this problem by un-installing the following
1. Facebook
2. Whats App Messenger
3. AVG antivirus
After un-installing each one of them, shutdown the phone, restart the phone after 30 Sec and check whether your NO SIM problem disappears. not install one more application and go on.
Ive had the same problem with my note i717 and have factory reset, tried a new sim card, and also swapped out the sim card reader with the one from my wifes i717 with no luck. Her phone still works fine (with my sim reader) and mine still has the same issue (with her sim reader installed). It started out only showing the error maybe once every few days then became much more frequent. Now it seems to happen only a few minutes after restarting. Does anyone think this is an issue with the mainboard?
Some people have reported luck with just replacing the SIM card and memory card reader. That didn't work for me.
I ended up buying a used motherboard on eBay for about $80 and replaced the entire thing myself. Thankfully the modular construction of the Note makes it really easy - did it in under 1/2 an hour. Problem solved.
The only thing I stupidly forgot to do is pull is backup the internal hard drive... so I ended up having to put the old board back in and pull everything off of it and then switch the new board back again. *sigh*
thanks!
My phone got wet so i dunked it in rice and it turned on the next day but got the no sim card problem. I followed Your advice and it worked! Thanks a lot!! Saved me from the extra stress and costs.

Got my SGS2 one day ago and I am pretty sure i will be asking for a replacement tomorrow.
BACK KEY does not respond properly. I need to insist sometimes touching it over 20 times before it can notice it. The touch screen and the button on the left work perfectly.
I also found that the metal strip over the SIM card slot had fingerprints on it, which i think should not be the case since workers at the factory use gloves.
Another detail. Even though the box of the phone was sealed, the girl at the shop insisted on open it to make sure everything was in...
I am buying from the biggest mobile phone retailer in my country. I will be reporting further later on. I am afraid this is gonna be a long story for me .
who did you buy it off? make sure you get a replacement off samsung.

I will try to get more evidence of their wrongdoing, when things are more clear then I will say out the name of the retailer to alert other consumers
The problem is that the Back Key responds fine during long periods. I have not yet found the circumstances that trigger the unresponsiveness.
So this is gonna be tricky to show at the shop, if I m lucky they will see immediately.
But, I keep on wondering whether it is acceptable or not that the phone had fingerprints in the SIM card slot.
The seal say "do not accept if seal is broken". it was not broken, because it was put there by the retailer

A "big retailer" has no business in providing dodgy second-hand phones.
At worst it's likely you got a phone someone had opened and tinkered with in the shop. Beyond that, the assistant could even have picked up a device which was returned by someone and by mistake assumed it was a new phone.
I also had an issue where I didn't have the microSD card in the box. Now, considering the box is sealed with the black security sticker, it would be pretty hard to get the microSD card out. I didn't check the security sticker because I was too desperate to get the phone out and start using it.
You don't have distance selling rights in this case so you have a hard task ahead of you - because you could have just returned it within 14 days had you bought it online or over the phone, now it's just your word against the retailers.
It seems that the issue comes after the screen has been on for a while. Initially i thought it only came when using the camera, or in settings, but I just now it's happened when i was browsing sms.
This is the 1st time I use samsung or Android. Is this kind of thing common?
I have contacted Samsung... the girls told me to go back to the shop (because i got the phone only 2 days ago) and that it is not normal that the phone had fingerprints in the sim card slot.

Totally correct. If you only just got it and it doesn't work, take it back to the shop and just be polite but firm. They have to replace it if you say there's a fault.
Thanks all for ur replies
Because I have never used Android before I was thinking that maybe the Back Key has a different behavior than the left key in order to prevent accidental touch.
Otherwise the phone is fine. It has the infamous yellowish left side defect, but I can live with it.
At the operator, i was told that it is common practice to open the box to check everything is in, at least for this retailer... is it really common that factory workers forget to put all the stuff in
I keep on testing and getting mad at this, before going to the shop

That's down to the supplier. That's why you'll get a phone from provider A with a 8GB card, or from provider B with a 16GB card (for example).

Oh I see, Thought I had been short changed as I didn't get a micro sd with mine from O2
I have since bought a 16gb class 10 but to be honest I am not sure that it is being used as everything goes on to the internal sd storage with plenty of space to spare.

Yeah, I used to think it was down to the manufacturer, but when I got the HD2 I got a sleeve with it, but lots of people on xda were a bit miffed because they didn't have one. Also, SD cards ranged from 2GB to 16GB (possibly 32GB - can't remember), depending on who you got it from.
I didn't get an SD card with my SGS2 either, so I just sold my HD2 with the 2GB one that I got with it and kept the 16GB one for myself.
Mwah-ah-ah-ahhhh!

Would a supplier open the phone for inserting a SIM card?
This one came without microsd. I asked the girl if the phone come with one while she was inspecting the box, and because she did not know she was going to open the phone, but i told her I preferred to check by myself.

Just back from the shop. Their attention was excellent. The phone will be replaced as soon as they get more units.
The thing is that 2.5 weeks ago they told me sgs2 are sold out. 10 days ago in another shop of the same retailer I paid for one to pick up 10 days later (i thought because they were waiting for the new batch). But the supply of sgs2 has not yet arrived. So the phone was one of the last sgs2 they had in the whole city. This usually means more probability that the phone has some problem.
The guy at the shop told me that it is not normal that the phone had fingerprints.
Frankly, i thought this would be much more troublesome and i am now convinced that this retailer is not doing things wrong. I think I will change the name of the thread if possible to something like"when u dont get what u expected from a big retailer".
My suspicions are the product of one bad experience with their technical support. Also, I am paranoid ever since I was offered an 8gb Nokia N8 from a operator (never seen other than 16gb).
Hopefully the next batch will also come with amoled screens and samsung's renderer chip.
Try this next time if it happens again...

then update the firmware (Bottom button)
But I did both anyway..

This code doesn't work on my phone
UPDATE
No one knows when the next batch of sgs2 will come to this EU city where they are sold out since few weeks ago.
In the meanwhile I have been using the phone and for few days I thought the problem was gone as the back key was working fine (responding as well as the left key), but then I charged the phone and for first time used it while charging. Very soon after plugging the charger, the back key was almost not responding at all.
If unresponsiveness only happened during the first minutes of the charging process, I could take it. However I first noticed the issue while in normal use.
Lately my screen is taking nearly 90% of the battery consumption (just browsing use), which could explain why the issue did not appear. But now I have just found a way to copy files to the internal card of the phone and I will be testing with hr movies.
I doubt it is just a problem on my phone, so I would appreciate that someone reports how does his back key respond during the first minutes of the charging process
Thanks
Just like the title says. Im on att and used the twrp recovery The all in one kit. Everything on my phone is working fine . I'm posting on it right now(through WiFi) but after I did everything yesterday my phone keeps giving me the no SIM card error. It's happened about 5 times now and I have to restart the phone 2-3 times for it to work fine again . Any idea?
Silly request, but have you popped out the sim card from the top of the phone and checked for dust/bad connection?

Yes I have..not as silly as it sounds because it's usually those easy things that fix it..but it didn't..still does it every day at least twice since it's been rooted. I just restart the phone when it does it till I figure put what it is .
I think I would try a triple wipe with a clean install

Yeah I've had the same issue a couple times. Popping it in and out seemed to get rid of the error for me, but this morning I woke up and it looked like my phone had lost signal at some point in the middle of the night and not regained it (so basically the same thing as a no sim error) but I never got a no-sim error.
On one occasion, before I popped it in/out, I got the error 3 times w/in a ten minute span while I was on the phone with someone.
Strange juju.

Ya sounds like the same issue..just flashed the custom Rom that hansoon posted in the development page and I haven't had it happen yet. So we shall see.
So this still keeps happening about 5-10 times a day...cleaned out the SIM card tray and nothing works. Tried stock Rom and the 2 roms available for att and nothing..
I'll take it in Saturday when I'm off work and just ask for a new phone . Anyone else having this issue or did I just get Bad one. Seems like everyone is having issues with the Bluetooth and WiFi while I'm having this and not those issues.
It just happened again as soon as I did my last post. Check out the screen shot
I have also had this happen to me a few times. The first couple times I would just reboot. This last time I popped the sim out and re seated it and I haven't had the issue since.
Seeing that this looks to be only an AT&T issue, could it be due to poor quality SIM cards?
Any correlation with LTE vs. non LTE SIMs?
I'm on AT&T and rooted on thanksgiving. Last Tuesday it happened and reboot worked then Friday night it happened again. Reboot didn't work at first and I wasn't at home so I didn't have the tool and couldn't find anything to do it. After 3 reboots and some serious shaking of the phone (which probably didn't do anything) it finally worked.
It just happened again to me. Phone was lying on the table for a while was fine when I set it down and about 30-45 minutes later when I checked the time it said no SIM. When I get home I'm going to take it out and clean it and see if I can figure it out.
Never Die!
I've had this issue a few times myself. I took my SIM card out and cleaned everything and have yet to have it happen again

i'm not rooted yet but it seems I've had it for a while now even got a new sim card. it got worse popped it out. turns out it wasnt on the sim tray securely. it's easy to do as the sim card doesn't sit flush. you just got to cram it on the trey without breaking it. and carfully slide it in your phone. havent had it since it happened about 6 times yesterday. oh and you dont have to restart the phone. you can simply put it in airplane mode and it wil come back
Hapens to me on my telus device running maximus. Gonna try a reseat first turn rom change if reseat is useless.

I took my SIM put this morning and blew it out and repositioned it and put it back in. The issue hasn't happened again since Saturday morning so we shall see what happens
Never Die!
One X+ vodafone romania - untouched
after ~ 6 days, it started yesterday. several times in like 3 hours, and again this morning and this afternoon
really love the phone, and i don`t wanna send it back yet. still have few days till i can return if the problem persists
I think this probably has to do with the sim card being properly seated in the tray securely and then carefully placed into the phone as noted above.
The reason I say this is because I ordered my HOX+ from Walmart Wireless and when I received it the 'paper' around the phone was ripped at the top by the sim card tray and they had already removed the tray and inserted the new sim card for me.
At the time I thought it was kind of odd that they bothered to do that. Mainly because most people are more than capable of putting a sim card into a little tray and placing it in their phone. Also, there is a little key inside the box meant specifically for opening the sim tray.
However, reading about the various issues some of you have had, I feel I have a pretty good understanding of why they do that with HTC phones. At least the HOX+ anyway.
The thoery is that they've probably had a number of them returned for this exact issue, so they found that by carefully placing the Sim in themselves they can avoid unnecessary returns.
Of course this is just my theory, but, it makes a lot of 'sense' to me, lol. One thing to note is that you might want to try and file off the little bumps that form on the edges of the sim card. They are left over from the area where it is attached to the bigger 'business card' thing that surround a new sim card. No idea if that will help, but, it is very unlikely to cause any problems if you try.
Anyways, kinda long, but, hopefully helps some of your to get yours seated just right. Had my phone about two weeks and I've not yet seen the issue.
well no matter what i did it kept happening. I called att and they transfered me over to warranty. They sent me a new phone and i received it this last tuesday. I rooted it That night and im on the Blackout rom for att. No issues as of yet. we will see.....
Ok guys i know there are a few threads already created for this error, however; I haven't seen a solution yet, So i'm creating this thread in hopes that we can compile all the information about this, and maybe find a solution,
Here's the story, I bought an Unlocked Galaxy note SGH-i717D on ebay about a year ago, the phone was working like a charm and it loved it , then a few months later i started getting a "NO SIM Inserted" error message.
The SIM card was pretty old so I went to my carrier and changed it. That seemed to do the trick and it worked fine until a few weeks ago, when the damn error showed up again. I'm literally getting this error message every day, making the phone impossible to use.
I've tried EVERYTHING:
1- I ruled out the SIM card being faulty since it's new and it works on other phones
2- Made sure the SIM was making contact with the pins
3- Put Scotch tape on the SIM to make it fit better on the SIM slot
3- Deleted cache
4- Rooted my phone and installed titanium backup to delete all user and system app cache
5- flashed the original rom back into my phone
Nothing seems to work (the titanium backup method works for a few hours/days) so please if any of you know the solution to this issue please let me know.
I highly appreciate any help!
Sim card slots go bad some times. A samsung repair shop can replace it in minutes.

yup i've read a lot about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the hardware, cuz it works fine when I delete the cache, i've read it has to do with the 3g/4g band the phone is working with, that may cause the issue, but then again nobody's been able to confirm this.
Having the same problem.
No SIM
Baseband: Unknown
IMEI: Unknown
Can't restore with KIES.
Mine was under warranty so I just returned it for an exchange. Got a new SIM, no changes. A factory reset fixed it for a short period.

So I rooted my phone and installed titanium backup like i mentioned on my first post, there's an option on Titanium backup called CLEAR cache for all user and system apps, that seems to do the trick at least for a few hours and some time days.
Sounds like what you guys may need is the sim card port replacement. whatever you do do not send your phone to samsung if you arent under warranty, you will be broke when your done with them. the part is 7$ including shipping on ebay, you can type in sim card port to find it. it is very easy to install, if you dont feel comfortable you can bring it to a shop.

My phone have the same problem. But is the t-mobile note (sgh-t879). Can I use this parts for fix my phone?
You can easily find the parts for the tmobile version too. Ebay is where I start looking for parts.
Hi i am having the same issue on my Galaxy Note i717R (Canadian Version - originally from Rogers Network) , would appreciate if you could share a solution with me too .
This happened on my i717 just after warranty ran out (of course). It first started off with losing the use of 4g so I couldnt make calls and only could use lte data. Then the radio would stop working and nothing worked. I then restarted my phone and no sim card inserted error. Eventually it would work again but last night I was using the phone and data with no problem but nothing can fix the error today. I'm stuck using the desire HD unless I can figure this out.

I've had this same problem. Reset system and use caches with Titanium Backup but this didn't last. Reset to the original ROMs (Samsung update to Android 4.1 ) did not help. Finally I bought and replace the sim and microsdcard reader (which was remarkably easy to do), This didnt help either. Anyone have a solution?

WTF? it seems like its a software issue then, this is so weird! I read somewhere that it may be the band the phone works with, I'm in Costa Rica so the 3g, 4g bands that we use here may be a bit different and could be causing the problem, then again i know NOTHING about cell phone band frequencies....
This is what's been working for me, I delete cache using titanium back up and then leave the phone off through the night, this method seems to work for a a few weeks maybe a month and when i get the error message again i repeat the process. Also make sure the pins on the sim tray are touching the sim card I noticed on my phone they were a little low so i took a needle and lift them up a bit.
Anyways I really got sick of the error, so I'm changing the sim card tray, if that doesn't work I'm getting rid of this phone.
replaced sim tray and problem is still there...wtf

I was having the same problem. The error would hapoen 10+ times a day sometimes.
I replaced the sim card reader, stil happened. Flashed new rom and modem, didn't fix thr problem.
Started rooting around, thought that maybe the piece of case that sits under the leading edge of the sim card lifts it up, occasionally breaking sim contact when it flexed.
Took a screwdriver and bent the three contacts out some more, now it only happens occasionally.
I think I may be onto something here.

Are you using a full-size sim or a small sim inserted in an adaptor? I have had issues with the small sim.
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
was using a micro then switched to a full size sim...it actually fried the first full size sim then had to go back to tmobile to get another one..it seems the bottom of the sim tray seems to lift up on the bottom...

Have you tried popping open the tray and wiggling the card and then simply sliding it back in? Whenever my phone doesn't detect a sim card I just restart it. When it still doesn't work I pop it out and in again. It's annoying, but it doesn't happen often enough to really bother me. If it is of concern, see if your local store can help you out.

i already try this 10-20 times... the support hotline say that this bug is known and they solve it with the next patch -.-
But i hope i can use my phone faster than the next htc patch.... anyone got an idea?
I thought I read somewhere that the store you got the phone from might be of some help in this regard if it is an issue with the tray. Of course, if you've been hearing that it is predominantly a software issue, then I have no advice to offer. Sorry.
If the yellowish part of your sim card has mostly faded off,it won't work, ask for a new sim card gonna cost bout 5 or 10 Rupees.

i already try 3-4 different cards. My card works on other phones so it must be somethign with the phone.
Mine did that a couple months after I bought it ... took it back to the store and they sent it away for some kind of software update. It still did it a few times after that, although it's probably been a couple of months now with no occurrences at all. Some people say to put some tape on the back of the card to make it fit tighter. So I don't know if it's software or hardware. Although when it happened, if I put the phone in airplane mode and back out again, it worked fine, so that leads me to believe it really is software.
I have a Samsung S II and no matter what I do I can't get it to read the sdcard. I've tried several sdcards but still the same result, it won't recognize it.
The only thing I can think of (apart from a faulty sdcard slot) is that I don't have a sim card in the phone.
Does the S II need a sim card inserted in order for the sdcard to work?
If not, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get the sdcard to work?
BTW the phone is totally stock and it's Australian, unlocked but originally with Optus.
One strange thing is that everything in the back of the phone seems upside down. The battery contacts are on the left not the right, the sdcard goes in upside down and on the right not the right way up and on the left. The sdcard slot is directly underneath the sim card.
I hope so someone can help.
cheers
I no longer use my S2 so it has no sim in it, popped a sdcard in just now & can read/access it just fine.
Sticker on the phone chassis under the battery, what does it say ? (Where did you get the phone ?).
Card not reading is non of the sim card business.

Remove your IMEI. They can be nicked/re-used.
Where did you get the phone - reason I ask is your comment about battery contacts/position of sim slot/etc.

Thanks I removed the IMEI.
I bought it from a samsung reseller. I was told the reason the contacts and sim card are like they are is because it was originally made for use with the Optus network
Really ? Interesting. Reason I ask is we've seen our share of knock-offs on here over the past 2+ yrs, and they tend to have differences like the ones you've mentioned. Or they can sometimes be other SGS2 variants even though they're branded as I9100's.
Re: the SD problem, if it were me, try the obvious first - try it with a sim. After that, I'd probably do a clean install of stock, even though your phone already is running stock/hasn't been 'messed with', or even try a factory reset first.
Obviously with something like this you're rather limited with what you can do (you're stuck with things you can try on the firmware side), if that doesn't fix things, send it back to the seller/Samsung for warranty service if your warranty is still good, otherwise take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis.
I've already tried the factory reset but made no difference. I think the problem is a hardware fault because I got my son to take a look at it and he couldn't get the sdcard to stay in the slot, it just kept springing out. Putting the sim cards in does keep the sdcard in the slot but it still doesn't get recognized by the phone.
I contacted the reseller and it looks like I'll be sending it back to be replaced under warranty.
Thanks for all the help.
cheers
No probs. Best of luck.
