hi guys, i've been having a problem about my network. sometimes my data isn't working at all but it doesn't really says that it's disconnected to fix it i have to reboot. I tried different roms but my data still drops sometimes like 4 times a day.
so is there any chance that i broked the phone's data antenna even my calls still work? i have the phone for 6 months and this is the first time this has happened. i really don't want to exchange my phone to tmobile but if that's the only way to try then that's what i'll do.

I would suggest getting a new SIM card. In most cases a new sim card will fix that problem. I work for T-Mo and that's usually a good fix. If that doesnt work then try a factory reset. If that doesn't work then warranty. Good luck!!

yeah i have done a factory reset. So i'll ask t mobile for a new sim card?

Just go to a store and ask for a sim replacement. Since its a damaged sim they should just replace it for free.

I don't need to call them? i'll just directly go to a tmobile?

Yes sir. They will activate your number on to it and put it in the phone. Off you go. That simple.

When you bought your Vibrant, check in the box, there should be 2 sim cards.
i just called t mobile today and they said that my sim card is old which is weird. my sim card came with the phone 6 months ago. is there really a new sim card?
So they said i do need to change my sim card, will my number be changed?

If he upgraded to the vibrant and the rep happened to leave the sim in there then there would be another one. There is typically only one sim per box.Usually if you are an existing customer and you upgrade the rep will take the sim out of the box and keep it.

Nope. Number will stay the same. They just activate the new card with your number and deactivate the old. Yes, they came out with a new version of the sim card a while ago.

oh ok thanks. i really forgot to ask why did they put this sim if it's not compatible with the phone. I didn't know that they have a newer sim card.
thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well the one that you have should work fine. But like anything else they occasionally go bad. They updated the sims when they started upgrading the network. Just gives a better connection on 3g/4g.

question guys I have my thunderbklt but.in a few days I will also be getting a revolution so I was wondering how I would go about switching between the two I am pretty sure it.is.not as easy at&t or tmobile where u just pop out the sim.and into the new phone
Sent from my A05PTH3ORYB0LT using XDA Premium App
Meaning you want to unlock your sim card right?
I don't know why you would buy to phones >.<
but maybe you should just try
taking out the sim card and putting in the revolution. I mean its the same carrier. I don't see why It wont work. Unless the sim cards is registered to your phone then maybe it won't work. But who knows
Okay thanks

I have a Vibrant that i use as a back up phone since i am using the Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my everyday phone. I am using Straight Talk sim on the tab. I wanted to use the Vibrant this weekend and now i get a message when trying to set up the Straight Talk APN "Insert SIM card to access network services". The Vibrant is unlocked so i dont see that being the issue. Any suggestions, i dont want the Vibrant to have gone to waste

So today I was on the phone with my friend and all the sudden I couldn't hear him. I took the phone away from my ear and I see puk code locked please contact customer support. First off what does this mean and why is it saying this. I have not rooted my phone or made any modifications at all to my phone. And I have never removed my sim card. I have only had my phone for less the a month. Also sometimes my phone says I do t have a sim card inserted when I know I do. This has happened to me once before.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

its a known issue with the dna.
try reseating the sim card and rebooting the phone. If the issue persists or comes back ofter go to a verizon store and get a new sim card
I woke up this morning and my sim card was acting up I put it back in because I was lucky enough to have the tool with me and it's better now. I honestly thing it's my sim card because my brother also has this phone and he hasn't had any issues with his sim card at all

Did the update a couple of days ago and now the SIM card will not read. Took it to Verizon and asked if the update had anything to do with this issue and they looked at me with a blank face...so now I pose the question...
Does anyone else have SIM card issues? I have a warranty replacement on the way but thought I would ask to see if there is a real issue or just a random SIM slot failure.

Permanent solution is to get a new Sim tray from HTC. They made a thicker one and if you contact their support and ask for it they will send you one out for free. Then you won't get any Sim card errors anymore.

I put tape on the back of mine and haven't had an issue since. It's a good temp solution while you wait on the new tray.
I recently purchased a note 3 and I didn't have a sprint sim for it. I ordered one and inserted it but I still get the notification "No SIM". I've rebooted the phone and checked to make sure the SIM Card is in correctly. What do I do.

Either your SIM is bad or your reader may be faulty. I know sellers like to sell phones without the SIM in it to hide a failed SIM reader.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm fairly sure the SIM Card Reader is functional because I put a Verizon sim in originally to try to remove the notification. I will switch the Sims for my note 3 and 2. To find out if my sprint sim is faulty. I'm doubtful but best to check
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
OK just checked the sprint sim card is functional as I get a non Verizon sim notification in my note 2 and when I put the Verizon sim in the note 3 I get invalid sim so this means the sim reader is functional on the note 3 and the sprint sim card is usable. What's going on then

I'd still try another Sprint SIM. When you get the replacement one MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM IT'S FOR A NOTE 3!!! As far as I know, there's different SIM cards for different devices. A SIM from an iphone 4s won't work in a Note 3.

Even if it's programmed for the same number?
I can give you the link for the sim I got. As far as I know it's the only sprint sim out there that I could find. Would It be possible to flash the note 3 to Verizon, At&t, or T mobile. If it would be easier than getting a new sim.

As far as I know, it doesn't matter. I could be wrong. But from my experience the SIM model number does matter. The model number varies amongst the various Sprint devices and I recall what worked for one phone didn't work for another.

So wait....you're trying to flash? It's unable to be unlocked to GSM. If you flash the device you don't need the SIM. The SIM is ONLY for 4g LTE. If you flash you won't get LTE, and therefore you don't need the SIM and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know how to flash the baseband.

Huh?
You lost me. I just want the notification gone. I'm trying to use the note 3 as a media device not a phone as of now. If I could flash it might remove my error. I don't know if it's even possible. Not worried about the LTE till late when I may or may not use the note 3 as a phone. Data charges get me. But if there's a way to fix the sim issue with no flash that would be ideal. But if not its alright I can probably flash or try order yet another sim. Or try to find another solution.

OK just read that again I understand now so no sim
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
I think someone found out how to remove the no sim notification by editing something in the build.prop. But honestly, it doesn't even do anything. You can still use the phone on Wi-Fi and you can get it flashed to use talk/text/mms/3g.

You'd need to root the phone and get some kind of file explorer. It's not that hard. The most difficult part will be finding what to edit/add to the build.prop file.
Throw the Sprint sim in the trash...or burn it.

I had a problem with the SIM card from a Note 3 that I bought on Swappa. My problem was that my phone would not switch to 4G LTE. It gave me some EHRPD error and occasionally a no SIM card found error.
The way I fixed this is I wrote down the serial number off the card itself then contacted Sprint via chat support. The number on the card was different than the number Sprint had assigned to my phone. They changed the number to the number of the card I had, rebooted my phone and the problem was fixed. Now I have 4G LTE and no longer get a no SIM card detected error.
I suggest writing down the number from your card, contact Sprint via chat and have them change the number of your card to your phone. That might fix it for you. How this helps!
Why not just take a trip to the Sprint store. They should be able to fix your issue.
