Hey guyz, yesturday i ran into the wierdest problem i've seen in my android modding career....
Me and my brother both went to get new SIM cards (same provider as our old ones). My phone is Ace "i" and my brother has an s2.
So we got the new sims and i popped open my phone inserted the sim and BAM.... Bootloop....
I removed the sim and it worked fine... :what:
I put the old sim... Or even my brother's old sim and they work too.
I tried my brother's new sim which works well for him and it also bootloop'd my phone...
Im sure its not the sim's fault as both the new ones work well on galaxy s2, my father's galaxy Grand, and even my brother's Z10.
BUT they also boot loop my youngest brother's galaxy Y, which has an android 2.3.6
So does this problem occur only to gingerbreads? Why?
Things i tried:
1- formatted my phone... And also flashed a fresh soft from odin.
2- tried to follow a "fix" i found saying something about mobile networks but that option isnt on my phone :banghead:
3- (this is the important one)
I found plenty of people who used this 1 fix that worked on their phones for the same prob...
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* and going in phone info...
Then changing the "WCDMA preffered" to something else....
But as soon as i tap on another option as "CDMA auto" for example, it automatically changes back to "WCDMA preferred" (i dunno why but thats how it happens)
It only accepts being set to "GSM only", "WCDMA only", or "WCDMA preffered" but it still bootloops that way.
Sorry i made you read all that but its really wierd so i wanted to mention every detail that might help... And i probably need an expert here....
Plz HELP?

1. Has this situation been occuring since the beginning? I mean , have you ever connected to the network?
2. Is your phone simlocked? If not , I'd suggest you to check if another sim card (preferably another company) works properly. If works , try changing the sim card first.
No Network
Hi,
Im also struggling with the same problem, its most frustrating being without the fundamental function of a mobile phone. Im on O2. It all started when 2.1 updated on my X10, since then my phone doesnt connect to O2 network.
Ive tried removing the sim, cleaning etc. then putting back in.
Tried swapping my sim with a friend (same network), no problem with the sim.
Just tried re-booting my phone (re-updating), no joy.
The last resort i guess before sending it in to O2 is to throw out of the window?
Any ideas?
Thanks
p.s. new HD camera does nothing but 'force close'.
thx for replay
my phone unlocked n and am try another simcard with another company its woks n am check my sim card in another phone its not work
first am got update (change region nomber method) befor 4 days ago n its work with me after update without problem but yesterday am not there is no network
i feel like my sim card banned from virign network so i don't know where is the problem in my sime card or in virgin network but am not feel i have problem in my phone coz its work with another sim card n my sim not work in another phone.

I remember somebody had problems with new iPhone and old original ATT SIM-cards. ATT just gave a new SIM-card - it was a kind of incompability. Maybe you should go to Virgin tech guys and ask them to fix the problem.
I have strange thing with my phone when it was locked - I used old proxy-SIM and it worked fine with 1.6, but after I flashed it up to 2.1 it worked around 16 hours and eventually told me that there is no service - just like yours. Nobody had similar experience, but look like strange things are possible with those really smart phones. After unlocking - no problems for now.

me too i think i have problem with my sim card, am already contacted the service clients but not solution till now !!!!!
i think after update, x10 will made variation of m-voltage which supported to sim cards, so directly burned( if the variation of voltage related with used area of sim-cards ,that's depends on our operators)

I don't think, the X10 can damage SIM-card since SE always targets world market and takes in attention any regional differences. Virgin is not a real carrier, it is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and uses Orange network as an underlying carrier. The last resort is to claim that you lost you phone (with the SIM card, of course) and ask for replacement. They can charge you (I used to pay $25 for T-Mobile USA in the nearest dealer shop, but didn't do any research since I needed the phone badly).
There is another possibility - as I know, ATT automatically changes the plan for their subscribers to a data-plan that is obviously more expensive as they recognize the new phone as a smartphone. It is weird practice, but see - it is possible, so be sure what's going on with your carrier.
please help me with network problem
i was trying different roms to flash, it was not good enough for me after with recovery i restore my backup original rom but no network, no signal, the sam problem with other roms, i changed sim cards as well no signal, when i make phone call there is a message ( CALL NOT SENT, PLEASE DIAL AN EMERGENCY NUMBER)

get a new sim card?
i dont think it matters because i used my brothers card and it still doesnt work and i can also use mine on other phones
I had the same issue on mine for a while dunno why. Tmo rep said my phone is bouncing between towers. Going in the settings and manually setting a tower our reboot usually fixed out but not always. It could also be the towers. If that doesn't work replace the sim and lastly thee phone if it comes to that. I noticed older leaked froyo build caused this issue for me.you could odin to stock root and flash a current rom such as KA7.

but if u have old sim card like i had because tmo store forgot to give me new sim card with new vibrant when i bough it the old sim lasted no longer than two weeks after goin bad i dont kno why but it did i went back to store and they gave me new one and told me i should of gotten the new sim in the first place with the phone wheni bough it and my sim wasnt that old any way oh and it went bad when i started flashing roms allot lol
i have tried going into wireless and network settings and manually searching for network operators and it keeps saying my sim is not registered. Also i just flashed bionix v no luck and it doesnt matter which sim card i use because i used just about everyone i knows sim card which works in their phones. At this point not sure what to do ill probably revert back to 2.2 or 2.1 and unroot and take it to the tmobile store.
I am same problem here everytime try to make call it says "Not Registered on the Network", SIM card works fine on different phone, also other SIM when inserted on Vibrant gives same message.
Can someone help resolve this situation.
Thanks,
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?

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.

"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.
Hi all.
I just came to a big problem. Yesterday my and my girlfriends SGS neo i9301i phones stopped to connect to carrier network and began to say only emergency calls/not connected to network. I found similar posts but found something what could help but still dont know what should I do as my problem is kinda different.
My IMEI havent changed, I bought phone unlocked straight from carrier. I rooted and installed custom roms on my i9301i but not on her.
So right now neither I or she can use our phones as both have the same problem.
I tried to reinstall stock firmware on mine ( as i have changed it before) still no changes.
ANY suggestions? looking for a fast response as I really need to get my phone running....

I might be stating the obvious, but i would contact the carrier. It sounds like an account problem if both phones went offline at the same time.

But would be account problem, if I put other carriers sim card in and it shows the same? Phone reads sim card, but wont connect to the network. Or can my carrier somehow lock my phone from connecting to any carrier network?
