This may be a problem with your SIM reader. If you still have a valid warranty, then send it to Service centre.
If not, then we can try few things first before trying hardware repair.

Galaxy S2 Strange problem?

Hey guys.
Got a few problems with my GS2 I don't know what has caused it, was working fine checked my voicemail and then it stopped working?
on my pull down notification bar i have "emergency calls only", If i pull out my Sim the phone knows there is no Sim in there, and if i put it back in i can copy all my contacts from Sim card to phone so the card reader is fine.
Even though it says Emergency Calls only, if i dial 911/999 It says "Number is out of service"?
If i turn on the Internet (3G) My Internet will turn on but i will not get any 3G icon along the top of the bar?.
I'm thinking of re-installing the latest Android 2.3.5? but i have no idea of what i need
If people could help me out! i would be very great full!

Yeah can see all that
Android - 2.3.5
Baseband - i9100XXKI4
Kernal - 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKJ1-CL647431 - Is this the right one? for that baseband? I'm not sure if i flashed the kernal correctly?
I flashed the kernal through ODIN in the PDA Section? is that correct?
Build Number - GINGERBREAD.XWKJ1
That's correct.. How about checking your sim if you put it right.. Alot of people sometimes put the sim in the wrong decision or fliped it upside down and didn't realized it.. It happened to me once

warranty. If you've done nothing to the phone at the time it broke, changing sim card, and cleaning the contact points do nothing.
Shes broke.
I spoke with ATT warranty center and they are saying if your phone is not able to read sim card it's not covered by warranty.
Not sure what to do now.

Yes and I didn't see whether he had gotten a new SIM card or not. Now that I know he has, I suggest he get someone else on the phone or try to go into a store and have them verify it's the device.

The fact that it is a H/W defect on the phone. at&t should cover it. Thats bull**** if they dont. at&t would send you a new phone, and when you get that one you'd send your broke one in. samsung your out a phone for longer.
I'd be calling a manager at customer support in the warranty section. but Im an asshole, and if i pay good money for something, I tend to get my way when a device has issues that are not my doing.
Good luck man.

Problem with SIM Card on JB

Hello. I'm recently bought this phone. Everything worked fine. Yesterday I updated it to Jelly Bean. Everything became better, but SIM Card doesn't working. When I boot phone, it shows an error "Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped", few seconds after network turns off and it showing a message "UNKNOWN Don't power off @ contact us". I did hard resets, re-flashing and other barrel rolls, problem isn't disappear.
Device is P765, Rom V20C CIS. SIM is working in other phones, phone is working wit oher SIMs.
P.S.: I'm silly in English.
Copy everything from SIM card to computer then you have to reformat your card. Once jb recognizes your card then put everything back in its place.

Specially rolled away to 4.0.4 to hear that wonderful "Набранный вами номер не обслуживается".
I think the problem is that the SIM card of the old model with a 3.3 voltage (most of SIM cards manufactured after 2005 have a 1.8 voltage).

Hi,
did you try cleaning the sim card with a dry cloth? also try cleaning the simm slot with a clean, dry brush (paintbrush, toothbrush) that does not have any lint/ garbage in it.

did you find out what the technician fixed? was it hardware or software?
I fix This Problem free
First of all without sim call ememgency number 112
if during the cell shutdown change the bettry.
then change setting.
I had the same problem too.This worked for me:
1.Open your phone without sim
2a(Ice cream Sandwich):Then Go to the settings->more->mobile networks->Network mode or 2b(Gingerbread) Settings>Wireless and networks>Mobile networks>Network Mode
3:And change network mode to WCDMA only(this worked for me).
4:Insert your Sim and restart your phone
If "WCDMA only" doesn't work you can try "GSM" only.
Old thread but I hope someone else gets helped by this.

I9300 doesn't read sim card

Hello, I just bought samsung galaxy s3 and tryed to put in sim card, but it doesn't recognize it. I tryed to do factory reset lot of times but it doesn't helped it still writting no sim card. I tryed to put in my friends card who is in other network, so I think its not a sim slot problem. First think - it locked. Today I went to the salon of my operator and they sayed that my phone is not locked or black listed, so maybe somebody knows the solution for it ?

Proble might be hardware: sim slot or sim card. Does your sim work on other phones? Do other sims work on your phone?
If its software, a fresh firmware flash with wipes should fix it.
I tryed to put sim to my brothers galaxy s2 and it worked, and we tryed to put other network sim to my phone and its too worked, but sim with the same carier like my didn't worked, if its a software can u give me link where I can find tutorial how to fix it ?

I've known some weird bug to happen (1 in a million or more) where a specific sim won't work on a specific phone, a friend working for movistar had that happen. Don't know why, just that sim won't work in that phone. They had to make a duplicate of the sim with a different format.
Check with your carrier to see if a different sim might work. And make sure its not a problem with the phone being locked.
Can you tell us. Is the phone 2nd hand or brand new?
I was thinking that if it is 2nd hand, maybe the previous owner flashed Custom Roms and may have damaged the 'EFS partition' when they flashed Stock firmware back onto the device before selling to you.
No, if EFS is damaged then device wouldn't log into any network.
Try to repair your device with Kies if you don't know how to use Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809
If it doesn't help visit your carriers store and get your SIM changed.
I tryed to put in maybe 4 cards with the same carrier and it didn't worked, yes phone is for 2nd hands :/

Now, when you say it doesn't recognize the sim cards, do you get a "sim not inserted" message?
Or does it recognize the sim but won't allow making calls or connecting to mobile data?
You say with different carrier (your friends sim card) it works. But with your sim card and others from the same carrier it doesn't work. That sounds just like a network locked phone.

When I turning it on it loading about minute and in that place where is network bars is pic like phone blocked I think, but after loading it shows me a perfect connection, but in my task bar writting "No SIM" and under it with lower letter "Insert SIM card". On the lock screen is too writting "No SIM card - Emergency calls only"
I know that it's sounds like network locked, but I was gone to the salon operator and they sayed me that phone is not locked, but I did not understand, or only to their network, or general. Where can check it ?

This totally looks like a sim locked phone.
What you already know is that the phone works with your brother's sim card, so the phone works with your brother's carrier. You know it doesn't work with your sim card or any other sim card of your carrier.
But you are still not sure if it is a simlock.
Just check with a sim card from another different carrier (one that is not your carrier, nor your brother's carrier). If the phone is simlocked it shouldn't work with that 3rd carrier.
