Hi there, I have purchased my tab last friday, played around with it during the weekend (root, overclock, etc.) Everything was fine - internet connection via 3G and WiFi, battery life and so on. However after I swithed off my tab on sunday evening and left it on charger, monday morning I realised that galaxy tab 10.1 does not recognise any SIM cards. The device itself is unlocked here, in Lithuania.
Any ideas what might have caused this strange behaviour? Everything else is working fine.
Hi!
I have the same problem, started about a week ago. SIM-card just looses connection at random times. Mostly when i've just left it in the charger for an hour or two.
A reboot is needed then it's working as normal.
What do you think? Should i return it?
Did you try and setup the APN manually?

Obviously...
The thing is that device itself does not recognise SIM card. Once You try to configure APN manually, it sais "please insert SIM card" :-(
and reboot doesnot help...
I have this issue too! I thought i was the only one experiencing this.
I have this problem 1 time, but i tried to switch sim with the one in my phone and it worked. Afther i switched back again and still working.
I got the problem afther my tab have been switch off for 5 days.

Well, after I left device in one of authorised dealers, they acknowledged the problem and offered to replace this Tab. So it turns out, one can only hope, that it does not happen to him...
Hi guys
Turns out all my problems were caused by overclock kernel. Today my tab was replaced so first thing I did was root it again and make a back up. Then I installed OC zip file from SD card via CWM recovery. Guess what? Device did not recognise SIM card again... luckily I had a back up ROM. After I went back to the original ROM everything was OK.
So be careful before over locking your tabs.

my 10.1 tablet says please insert sim card after i have inserted the sim card is it possible..i bought it in hong kong and now am in africa...its kh5
my friends is kg7 and it works fine cud it b a software issue or hardware
same problem just happened to me.
is there any solution found?
sim is ok on my htc desire but tab 10.1 cant detect it.
it has stop suddenly while browsing some news sites.
reboot does not help
i tried with another SIM also, same problem - cant detect SIM card at all,
when trying to open Mobile Network it says - Please insert SIM Card or something simllar.
Also i found that in About Phone - Status, IMEI and IMEI SV are Unknown, Serial is OK, is this normal?
Look I know this is a dumb question, but have you rebooting the tab after inserting the Sim? A client of mine had the same issue and we struggled for days until we realized we hasn't tried that. Sure enough that was the issue.
I think the tab only tries to access the Sim card on bootup.
Sorry if you have already tried this.

Sure
I tried, no effect
Tab was only 5 days old, but now it is in our local service for board replacement.
Ok, MTel changed my harware modem and SIM slot, that is written to my card when they return it back.
After 4 days , no IMEI and No internet connection again.
so, buyed new one - after 4 days fail, repaired, after 4 days fail again..

Same issue here .. I picked up the tab on a business trip in India and it worked fine while I was in India . I came back to UK and tried a UK SIM and it does not recognize a Vodafone Sim , Giff Gaff but recognizes 3 . Even though it recognizes 3 it does not let it register on network.

Hi,
What is MagicSim ? \o/
Hi there,
I'm from Germany and went to a scuba diving trip to Egypt two weeks ago. Last year I bought an Egyptian Vodafone SIM to use the cheaper conditions for SMS and Internet with my rooted HTC Desire HD.
This year, I thought, I could redo this with my stock HOX+ which I got by extending my contract (also Vodafone) . But as I attached the SIM to my phone it wasn't recognizing it. As soon as I switched back to the German card everything went back fine (except the prices).
So I thought the HOX+ came with something like a SIM lock, which is uncommon for a non-prepaid phone in Germany, and decided to root it and install a custom ROM (CM 10.1)
But also with this ROM the phone won't work with the Egyptian SIM. The SIM did work in two different phones and their SIMs didn't work in my phone either.
So is it possible, that there is something like a regional lock on the HOX+ which is not related to the used ROM? And how could I get an foreign SIM to work in my HOX+?
Hello everyone, i have a Galaxy S3 with cyanogenmod 10.1 installed. This morning my cellphone started to give me no signal, I initially though it might be some problem with my carrier, but clearly this is not the case. I tried to swap SIM cards with my mom cellphone (another S3 with ROM stock), and the two SIM worked. I put again the two SIMs in the respective phone, and my phone still couldn't get signal with MY SIM, while with my mother's there weren't any problem
Basically: my phone can't read MY SIM out of the blue, but my SIM works with other phones. And my phone aswell works with other SIM. This seems to me without any sense. Can someone figured out why it does this?
I tried to wipe the phone, change rom (from cyano 10.1 to 10.2), the issue is still there.
Hello,
I am new here and sorry if I post this topic in wrong place. Actually, I have LG P768 and I bought it from Iran. It worked very well there. Then I moved to Germany and used O2 simcard on it and I did not have any problem with that until I got a charge drain problem with it.
I was in Iran last month and I fixed this problem but I got a new problem with my phone at the moment. Currently, I come back to Germany but with the same sim card which I used previously I don't have any signal on my phone. I have tried another simcard and it does not work as well. Could you please help me regarding to this problem?
