I keep getting this message on my s3for the past 2 days. The phone boots up few seconds later the message pops up saying the network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid Sim . It's been working fine and I haven't changed a thing. I I'm on stock rom with siyah kernel

Is your phone branded? Does your sim match the brand?

Remove the Sim, clean the contacts (physical ones, not the phole numbers) and re-insert it.

[SIM card removed]
Hi Everybody,
I had the same problem on my Xperia Arc S. Remove the SIM card and press the socket with your finger to make it tighter. If it's not enough you can put a piece of paper next to the SIM. It seems to be working for me.
Best wishes,
Peter

Do any of you have faced any problem trying to remove the microSIM card? I press it down, but it doesn't pop out from the tray. I think the spring is either missing or broken.... :crying: am I the only one who have had that problem? anyone knows how to fix it?
I think there is no spring, just pull the SIM out!

Thanks! But, then, it is veeeeery difficult to pull it out and I think I'll end up breaking the SIM!
Do you use any accessory for removing the microSIM?

Sometimes my fingernails are enough, but in most cases i use pincers for it.
open the slot's cover and look from the back for a spot where you can hold
the SIM best, the pull it gently out in the correct direction.
Don't be too carefully, the SIM is a bit flexible!
I have a constant problem where my sim card keeps coming out. Everytime I open the cover the sim card is half way out of the slot.
What are you guys doing pulling your sim card out and breaking the socket?
I haven't removed my sim or sd card since I bought the phone except to check to make sure I had the correct size sd card the day I bought it.
Once i put my microsd card in the Sim card slot by mistake and it fits perfectly except that it doesn't spring out when pressed.
Had to use a tweezer to pull it out.
And yes both Sim card and microsd card slots have spring ejects when pressed.

I got the cell already with that problem I gess. I put my microSIM card when I bought it and I didn't notice that the spring was missing till I had to travel to other country and I tried to remove my microSIM card in order to introduce other microSIM card of that country for using 3G without paying roaming...
I'd like to fix it, but I've asked in some stores and they don't know how to repair it :S
Warranty repair sounds like the best option if you are still under warranty.

Unfortunately I don't have the receipt, so no warranty
Besides, I'm in Europe, and paying the shipping + waiting 3 weeks for getting it back.... even if I had the warranty, I'm not sure if I'd use it.
I'm having this problem at least once a day and I have no idea what is causing it. Out of nowhere this will pop up and I will completely lose all service. The only way to get it back is by putting the phone into airplane mode then coming back out. Sometimes that will work for the rest of the day, but other times it will do the same thing 5 minutes later. Anyone know why it's doing this? Just kind of annoying.

How about doing what it is telling you to do and contact customer care?

I was getting this too every so often and all I did was reseat the SIM while I got the error. Please try that first before calling vzw and have them talk you through a factory reset only to send you a new card. It worked for me.

I was having this issue as well, and went to the Verizon store and had my SIM card replaced. Never had the issue again.
I was having this issue the first couple of days as well. Took the sim card out, cleaned it, shoved it back in pushing it down as far as I could with my thumb, haven't had the issue since.
Okay Thanks guys I'll take it out in the morning and try that. Hopefully that'll fix it.

Both my wife and I had problems the sim card. Either they don't insert them properly for new phones, or their sim cards have issues. Replaced both and no problems since.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Now that I think of it they come with the SIM cards already inserted if I remember correctly. That's probably why its widespread if the same person/machine is repeatedly inserting them wrong.

I just took a screenshot of this same thing earlier. I'll try taking out my SIM card, cleaning it, and re-inserting.
Every time my phone got sleep and I unlock it, it shows sd card unexpectedly removed.... Then preparing sdcar d ... plz help

This happens when is about to die. My oem card died like that. Bought a Sammy and np.
Let me guess...its sandisk?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
Mine does this to with a 32GB sandisk :/
I did buy a 32GB Samsung card but that died more or less straight away D;
so atm im still using the sandisk even though it likes to tell me its inserted/damaged/empty
Annoying!
The only thing i can suggest is to buy a samsung memory card from a trusted dealer
(mine was from ebay and most probably why it died)
but before it did, it worked fine in the note 2 gave me no pain

I had the exact problem with my sandisk 32GB ultra, but i got it swapped out and the new one works flawlessly. Think they had a bad batch (had to wait for a new shipment until i could swap my card)
I contacted SanDisk through the website.
They will rma my card who had the same problem.
Expecting my replacement next week.

same problem with pny 32 g
had the same problem for a while then my card suddenly died . apparently the reader on a lot of Samsung phones easily kill sd cards so be sure to back up very often

It seems thatthe reader itself is damaged probably from someone stuffing a bent card into place. so I need to replace the reader.
Slight Water dmg a few months ago, but recently cam & haptic feedback went out. Sent it to Squaretrade & they "fixed" it then sent it back. Now I keep getting "enter password to activate new sim" happens randomly but often right after reboots

Silly question but I have to ask. Are you certain it is installed properly? When I first bought my phone the salesman put the sim in but didn't put it in all the way. Only thee plastic trap door was holding it in.

Yep. Your post made me check it again just to be sure. All is secure. Annoyed though, last time they "fixed" it it took 6 business days to get it back. Front want that to happen again might have to sell it if it keeps up. I've heard of the sim reader failing, but under different circumstances
Try to take the back cover off there is vids on YouTube make sure the ribbon for the sim is properly set to the board.
