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.
mine went out. i havent paid any attention to it. ive noticed alot of notes have this.

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.

No solution so far
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...

This is my last hope.
I had a contract SIM card. i got rid of the phone. put it in a old Nokia u had. bare in mind this is a micro SIM card, i just needed to work my way round putting it into a normal SIM card slot. and it worked fine for few days, then all of a sudden I could not make calls or text. Then I got my S3. Unlocked it fine. put my SIM card into it, internet worked, data connection. But i could not send or receive calls or texts. every time i call someone it says "not registered on network". I have tried hard reset and I have tried restarting and turning on and off settings but it will not make no difference.
PLEASE HELP. I need this, any input to this would be great.
I had that one day after i bought my s3. Went to claim warranty and they gave me a brand new s3. Acording to them it was a faulty device.anyways just sharing my experience with that case .good luck some one else might have other solution so. Keep ur fingers. Crossed ')

Thanks for the reply guys. however I can't understand why it would be the phone. as it was having issues with my other one. is it possible to copy my contract over to another SIM card if I go into the o2 store?
I had this exact message during the time my new SIM has not yet been registred/active. Since youve also mentioned it not working in another phone, i'd assume its the SIM, not the S3.
About copying your contract from one SIM to another, no, this is NOT possible. Go to your carrier and ask for a new SIM. Test it on site. If still a no-go, ask them to show you it works in another device, to define find out if your S3 is the culprit.
Hello everyone
I'm having a problem with my Sim card and or holder. It randomly says Sim card not found or missing when it's perfectly still. I tried replicating the problem by throwing my phone into the couch and shaking it, but that doesn't do it. I have flashed multiple roms, flappjaxxx, cm 10 "stable", paranoid android, but as of now I'm on 100% stock. I used kies to restore to stock and i updated my baseband with I717UCMB4. Is there a clear cache option? I didn't clear any caches going to stock. As of right now it works but will go out sometime today....
Thanks in advance and I have found a $9 replacement with tools but that's 9 dollars and far away.

It's a known hardware issue, call warranty. This topic has been covered multiple times and a quick search would yield a lot of results. At&t replaced mine no questions asked. I had a repair place near me and walked in after talking with warranty on the phone with a wiped phone and handed it over and they handed me a new one.

I suggest you take the device to a qualified repair shop...
While it is possible to change this item yourself, it does take expertise, and the proper tools...
your call of course....g
Sorry to bring it up again, but I've searched and the only temporary solution is to take the sim and battery out for a minute to place in another phone which I get a random text from 1-000-000-000. It says in the text....
Alpsgaacds01.attwireless.net:5400f=0.......
Blah Blah Blah.
I'll keep searching and I'm going to call AT&T to see if they can help. My phone is out of warranty btw...

You can call Samsung and ask for the price to replace the sim slot. I doubt it would be above $50. You don't have to be under a warranty to get a good repair.
I ordered the part and i will post results. I have replaced my charging port before so this shouldn't be harder.

A couple quick questions.
1) Why wasn't your phone covered by warranty? Did it suffer water damage or did you open it?
2) Have you searched online for a repair center? There a couple good one's out there that'll probably take a lot less time than samsung will.
3) Did you just replace the tray or the whole board it was attached to?
If I recall correctly (someone correct me if I'm wrong) if you send in the phone for repair instead of warranty they'll charge you an evaluation fee and could take up to a month to repair it. I had a similar incident with my old blackjack and they decided I was out of warranty and charged me a $50 "evaluation" fee. I told them to keep the phone and went out and bought a blackjack2.
But back on point. Check online, there have been a few good vendors and a couple recommended on XDA for repair, I just can't recall any of their names. I hope it goes well
Same issue

Did Samsung fix it or did you get the issue fixed?
I am having the same issue, I bought a new replacement SIM slot, did the replacement, worked for like a whole 2 minutes, then told me SIM card issue and to restart and hasn't seen the SIM card since. I've owned the phone for like a year and a 3 months, so I'm really doubting it's under warranty anymore (standard warranties are generally only a yr anyway) plus now that I've done the work to replace the card they may take ye ol "you've opened it, no warranty anymore." route.
I've put my SIM card back in an old iPhone 3G I still have & it gets recognized no problem. Wondering if it's a motherboard issue at this point. I'd go ahead and buy a Note II but I'm afraid as soon as I do they'll announce the Note III and that would just plain ol' SUCK!!!!
It can't hurt trying to see if you're still covered under warranty. Unless it's obvious it's been worked on.
Also a few people reported fixing SIM card errors by reverting back to stock with Odin. Then reflashing their favorite rom.
Try this. Worked for me

My Note developed the "No SIM" problem after upgrading to the new AT&T stock ROM 4.1.2. The first time this happened I took my Note in to an AT&T kiosk and picked up a new SIM. The next day the error happened again. I decided to do some research and find and fix the problem myself.
A lot of trial and error later the problem seems to have been solved. My device has been running just fine for three days now. Of course, it could just be coincidence... At any rate I DO NOT promise that this will work for you, but the steps I used are:
1) Do a full nandroid backup.
2) Do a Titanium backup of all aps.
3) Go to setting, -> More Settings, -> Mobile Networks, -> Access Point Names. Create a new APN and populate it like this:
Name- ATT Phone
APN- Phone
Proxy- Not set
Port - Not set
User Name- Not set
Password- Not set
Server- Not set
MMSC- http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy- proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port- 80
MCC- 310
MNC- 410
Authentication type- None
APN type- default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet
APN protocol- IPv4
Enable/disable APN- (check mark)
Bearer- Unspecified
Once that is done save and exit, then make the new APN the default.
4) Have a fully charged OEM battery handy.
5) Remove back, battery, & SIM card.
6) Clean SIM by wiping with a soft, lint-free cloth. May use a bit of acetone if necessary, but if you do make sure you get it ALL off. Wipe the battery contacts while you're there.
7) Reinsert the SIM and the fully charged battery.
8) Boot into Recovery and do a full wipe.
9) Reboot and wait a few minutes. Check that the "No SIM" error is gone!
10) Setup may be via Google Restore, Titanium Backup, some combination, or just a full reconfigure.
I worked for me, maybe it will for you, too. Thanks to RangerCaptain for a link to the APN settings..
Peace Out
Scratch the approach above. After two days I'm right back to the same "No SIM" error. I've ordered a replacement SIM port from eBay. I'll edit again after I see if that works. Sincerely apologize if I misled anyone in the meantime.
Hi, i have a new HTC One X + and the simcard doesnt work. Means the Phone dont recognise that i already insert a simcard.

Ps.: My phone is not rootet and i have the newest software from HTC (original 4.1.1 and sense 4+)

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.
Hello, im new here but I have seen over the years that this is the place to come to fix cell phone issues and the such. My issue is this, I have just received an ATT HTC ONE, I bought it off Ebay. The phone itself phisically is in mint condition, but the problem is whenever I put a sim card in it, it just wont read it. Im overseas, I have already bought the unlock code for the phone but I get no chance to enter it because the phone wont detect a sim no matter what I do. I have tries puting several different sim cards and no go, I even had a spare ATT sim card and no go. I have just tried the "tape fix" but the phone wont recognize my sim. Is there anything else that I can try or do? I have flashed phone software in the past (droid dna) so if thats what would take to fix this I would do it. Im overseas and returning this to ebay for a refund would not be an option for me. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
I had the same issue and it solved after they replaced the sim tray, but I bought the phone from ATT so I was under warranty.
You might try to get it repaired there, but they might charge you. Or try buying a replacement sim tray off ebay or amazon (I don't know if they sell it or not)

Sim cards can go bad as well. I would go to an AT&T store and they will replace your sim card for free.
Thanks, I did try several sim cards that I had lying around and none of them worked. I have just gotten of the phone with HTC tech support and they are sending me a replacemente sim tray, hope that fixes the problem. Will have to wait 4 looooong weeks without a phone tough...
It happened to me last night. I restarted my phone and it worked normally. Haven't happened since.

You can buy a new simtray for $2.30

Oh..ok.. well I dont think new sim tray would be the solution.
I have two HTC One. And I tried putting the sim tray of working HTC ONE into this one and nothing happened.. same issue.
I have couple queries though : Was ur phone's software modified in any way when u recieved it ? I mean was the phone unlocked, rooted etc ?
If yes, did u tried flashing a RUU on it and see if it solves the issue
So I finally found the solution to my problem.. apparently its something related to sim not aligning properly in the socket.
Tape-fix didnt worked for me too and nor did the RUU. Then I tried something different.. I had my iphone 5's nano sim and put it in a plastic nano-to-micro sim adapter and put that in.. it snug in very tight and hurray, the sim got detected. Got the unlock code and its working now !!!!
With this experiment I think I also found out whats ur issue might be too. We often cut the sim using the sim-cutters which are often not perfectly sized but works with most phones. I suggest either try using my method if u can or get a retail micro-sim from a service provider and try that.. it should work.

Agreed, but it does happen. The last batch of T-Mobile Nexus 4's my company purchased, 2 out of 16 had an issue where the SIM's weren't being read due to pin misalignment issues inside the slot. We were able to replace them.

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.

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.
