I am picking up a faulty xt910 in 2 days that supposedly cant read sim cards, It didnt cost much so I have the time to tinker. Apart from rooting the phone does anyone have any ideas on where to start to fix it. thanks

It seems thatthe reader itself is damaged probably from someone stuffing a bent card into place. so I need to replace the reader.

Not sure where you bought your phone at. Have you taken it to a tmobile store and have them try? It could be a defect.
No it has been working just fine for like 10 months now for some odd reason it sometimes holds it and sometimes not

thats really odd.... when you insert the sdcard can you feel the spring engage? does the lock engage?(feel a little click after spring is compressed)? do you unmount the external_sdcard often? maybe things have just worn down....(i've only removed the sdcard a few times stepped up from the 2G, to a 8G, currently patriot class10 16G) but never had any problems with any external_sdcard staying in place.
take that bad boy apart!! its just some phillips screws i imagine its just a spring issue. I was gonna do the "hardware GPS fix" tonight so i'll take a look at the setup while im in there if there isn't a fix posted by then.

namadrider123 is correct it sounds like a easy phone replacement from tmobile that should be the #1 fix option for this problem (or any hardware problem for that matter) always attempt to get hardware defects replaced under warranty before you go messing with stuff yourself (good rule of thumb!)
It holds it sometimes but the little click thing isn't holding it. For now it is but if I take it out it will be hard to push it back in.

It was suggested you take it in to get it looked at, might need to be replaced. Or just fixed

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.
For you all who think I'm trying to commit fraud is way off!! I am only trying to retrieve Homemade ADULT videos before I send the bricked one back!! You closed the thread before I could explain it
Well, maybe they'll show up on the internet a few days after you send the phone back l. lol sorry. Couldn't resist

ATT isnt going to care whats on the phone anyway.
They are going to send it off to an authorized repair service...(samsung), and it will get plugged in for diagnostic testing, then repaired.
After that, it will get wiped clean with a fresh firmware image, and re-sold as a refurbished device.
Dont worry about the data on the phone, unless it's information that you cant live without. It's going to be wiped away....g
Videos should have been saved on a micro SD card then you wouldn't have this issue.
Hoping all over 18.lol

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

Just go to the drug store and get an eyeglasses repair kit. The screwdrivers in those are generally small enough and the whole kit costs less than $2.00 US.
Definetly have to get that tomorrow

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.
Just an FYI.

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.
