My Vibrant just stopped working...
My Vibrant is unlocked (purchased code from a site) and was working fine for a week (got it 2 weeks ago). It's rooted and I flash a few roms and modems to test out what i liked. Yesterday, it decided to lose signal. I wanted a few hrs and still had no signal. I tried searching for a network. AT&T showed up and when I selected it, I got "Your sim card does not allow connection to this network". I've tried flash the modem, then the rom, and even tried restoring it with Odin. Non worked. I then tried a TMO sim and i got signal, but can't dial out...
Please help! I've search and haven't had any luck fixing it... Thanks in advance.
Usually when you flash a rom, it may wipe the folder containing your unlock code. Redo your unlock with the same code you purchase

Yes I'm on AT&T. What do you mean by load the network? I've been to the network/wireless settings and have the "AT&T 310 410" APN selected. When i do a network operators search, Automatically doesn't fix it. When i do a "search now", AT&T shows up and when i select that it says "Register on AT&T" and then i get the "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"

I ran into the same problem last week. My Vibrant was working in the morning, and then it gave me the same message a bit later on the day. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I contacted TMobile and they told me it could be a bad sim. I was taken back by this, as it was working earlier in the day. I ended up going to a TMobile store and got a new sim. It worked after the new sim was inserted.
Maybe you can get a new sim with ATT.

I popped my friends AT&T SIM in and still had the same issue...
I'm thinking of just getting a prepaid SIM and testing it out. That should be the same as getting a new sim, right?

After the trouble shooting didn't work, TMobile gave me a free sim card. She noted my account and told me to go into a Tmobile store to get one.
I won't pay for a prepaid just to test it out...Can you contact ATT
I talked to AT&T yesterday too... Tech said its the phone... contact the carrier/maker of the phone... They don't really help you unless the phone is AT&T branded... guess I'm SOL and might need to just sent it to Samsung for repairs... =T
Update: I flashed everything back to stock JI6 via odin. Just tested on my friends TMO sim (he has a vibrant also). It finds the TMO network, but can't dial out. After a few min, no signal...
Im having the same issues, my phone messed up and i finally got it up and running again but now I am unable to register the sim on the network, and this happens with other sims
*#7465625# see if your network lock is off

I have the exact same issue. I have another phone (i9000). When I put the sim card in the other phone. it works great. Vibrant can get signal sometimes, but just cannot dial out or send messages....
Please help!
Unlock code
I downloaded the SGS unlock app a while back but had not done anything but get the code.
I powered off, installed a different sim and unlocked the phone. It was some left over sim that I knew would not give me service. After unlock and a failure to connect I powered off and put the working sim back in.
I had a little difficulty with getting 3G to come back up. Edge data and phone worked. I had to go and force a manual selection of t-mobile and then 3G popped up.
Then gmail and syncing died. I restored gmail gmail-storage and sync from backup with no luck. I'm not sure how I got it to come up but I got a password prompt and after entering it I got it back. I still had a sync error message under accounts and sync but not when I pressed on the gmail account. Rebooting got rid of that error and it's back up.
Not a clean swap at all. I'm not sure why gmail hurled.
The phone remains unlocked. If I get another sim I'll see if gmail still has a panic attack.
What should happen when you dial *#7.. on my vibrant it just says Mobile Network not available.
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.

galaxy 10.1 does not recognise sim card
hi all
im also facing the same problem, sent to service to fix this issue
thought everthing will be alright after 2 weeks of waiting,1 days after the service, face the same problem, it works fine on the day 1, i turned off the device and charged the device and when i turn on the same problem
sin not recognized on galaxy tab 10.1
I have the same problem. Tab says "plz insert sim card. I have already inserted sim card
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.
Not really sure what the issue is .. Is it restricted in some way .. ?
All of sudden, my phone does not detect the SIM card anymore. I inserted another good SIM card, and get the same error. I tried to press the SIM card to ensure good contact, but not working. No problem with other function. I inspected the SIM card slot and it appears perfect. The phone has never been dropped or having liquid damage.
I did the factory reset, but could not get rid of the error. Unfortunately I just travelled to oversea...
AT&T agreed to replace the phone, but I will not have any phone on the road.
I am willing to try anything. Does not seem to be software related, but...
Anyone know how to fix the problem?
Thanks.
Hey. There us a thread about this just search for it... don't think they found a solution
Did this happen while your sim was still in the phone or after a removal and replace?

My 1717D stpped working too when I installed T-Mobile radio
I bought 1717D with Android 4.o.4 on it , Kernel 3.0.8-perf-1717DTLLF4-CL793911 and tryed to install T-Mobile modem to work with Mobilicity.Ufter this update phone doesnt recognize my SIM card any more.I Tryed all 3 modems with the same results, even though I did changed modem on two previous 1717 phones before.They were with 3.3.5. I thing The problem is in Gingrbred rom this pfone has.Where can I get original Yelus factory Rom ?One more thing is strange: it doesn't show any IMEI ,Baseband shows Unknown.
The phone has ics 4.0.4. I inserted a foreign sim card while traveling abroad and found "no sim" error. Then i switched back to the att sim and found with the same error. I shall say i always use the foreign sim while oversea and never had problem with this phone before. And i always power down, remove battery and then replace sim card.
I reflashed the ics radio and still no good. I can see the imei number in setting. But the baseband is unknown. I read almost all related posts and could not find a software fix.

Made in China:{
"No SIM" just happened to me. I recently updated to the official JB stock ROM & Note worked great for about ten days... then just quit and displayed the "No SIM" error message. I first tried just shutting down, removing & cleaning SIM, replacing & rebooting. Nada. Then tried different, fully charged battery. Still no go. Still at home tried a factory reset, removing SIM, clean, & reboot. Gave up and went to an AT&T kiosk. Rep set me up with a new SIM and I'm back in business for two days now. Rep was quite philosophical, "it happens sometime." Still don't know why.
Hello all.
I have had a friend give me a phone from China. This was already running CM10 when I got it and was the international version of the SIII . I have a work iPhone and took the ATT SIM out and placed it in it. I understand I cannot get LTE connection with this device... but the SIM did not appear to be recognized. I looked and there does not appear to be any unlock process for this phone with this software and I did not believe it was SIM locked as the owner told me he slapped regional SIMs in it when he traveled.
Does this imply hardware failure or am I missing something stupid here?

Hey THanks for the reply. Any suggestions as to how I can try alternate SIMS. Shoudl I walk into ATT and ask they replace the SIM for my IPhone as it is not working in other phones or should I buy a smart talk prepaid SIM or something. Any suggestions. Sorry for the seemingly stupid questions.
Regards.

I tried two att sims with no lucka nd one tmo. I took it to a shop where theyb replaced the reade and still no dice. Technician claimed bad radio flash, but the networks are seen... seems like sim reader. The other thing I noticed is that the device says wcdma on in. I know the chia carrier is gsm and the phone is supposed to be. Any thoughts?

not to resurrect but....
So I have had some updates. I took it to a local shop who attempted to replace the reader and said that a new one had the same issue. I then spoke with my friend who gave it to me and he mentioned some CM issue with SIMs being recognized. I updated the ROM and it worked well for a couple of days. THen I started having intermittant instances of the same issue..... until it completely recurred again.
I have taken it appart and resat the connection (thinking the repair guy didnt do it well and maybe that was my issue) but had no differnt results. I have tried a new ROM (SlimKat) and a couple of Kernels. I have not gotten into modem flashing yet as I am still trying to parse and understand the data there.
The Repair guy thought the modem was misflashed and that the installer who flashed CM11 messed it up. He suggested getting a Stock carrier ROM on there. I thought he was full of it and did not know what he was talking about... esp considering there is no domestic (US) carrier image for the 9300.
Thoughts or options? I have an i747 that I have been using but it does not have an unlocked SIM yet and I have been struggling to make that happen (EVEN WITH A CARRIER PROVIDED CODE??!!!).
Thanks in advanced for any assistance/insight you can provide.

Flashing CM doesn't touch the modem, most asop roms don't.
Try flashing stock which should reset everything.
Need help with this one... I just bought the phone from someone on Facebook. Well phone is unlocked and when I put my att sim card in it says inserted sim and restarts but still says no sim when it restarts. I called Sony and they told me to hook it to computer and download the software again so I did and it still has the same problem. I put my wife sim card it it it will read that there's a sim card inserted but will never give me cell service. I don't know what else to do. Please if anyone knows what I could try please let me know.. Thanks

Check your mobile network - access point name....does it have any APN service option....
Yeah, do what Martin wrote, and also try yet another SIM card. If it detected your wife's SIM, then it's probably not a hardware issue. May I ask how old your SIM is?
The SIM tray on the Ultra is also one of the worst designed trays in the history of time, so be 100% sure that you've put it in correctly.
The sim is only maybe 6 months old.. I am going to go in the morning and see about another sim. Maybe it will work.

Okay, so it's definitely not the SIM card, but the phone did detect your wife's SIM, so I'm not sure what the issue could be

OK so I took the phone to my phone provider and got a new sim and it works great now. But when I make a call on it the screen goes black and can't turn it back on until the phone hangs up even if the phone is nowhere near my face. I have looked to maybe keeping the phone on during call but there is no setting for that. I have read a few forms about this and there's only stuff about screen protector or cases which I am not using either of them. Please if anyone know something about this please help.. Thanks
