Hi, I recently just activated the Note 3 to my account and it seems i keep getting random SIM Card errors, Firstly i get an error saying that "The device didnt respond in time" Sim Locked" or "No Sim" restart my phone. I have no idea whats going on with it, I even had to turn on my wifi just for the phone to activate, the weird thing about it is that it shows the "No Sim" in the top right corner of the phone, but it still gives me a 3G signal, Just wondering if there is a fix to this, because I am paying for premium data and cannot even use it. I have been to the sprint store and swapped my Sim Card out 4 times in 2 days. Is their a fix to this? can u open the sim tray and fix it the thing is that my phone actually recognizes the sim and everything i can see the imei and the iccid clearly when its powered on then its give the errors and iccid goes away but imei and 3g connection is fine. I need some help PLEASE!!
Have you tried a factory reset?

I tried a factory reset when I first got the phone because it would not activate unless i turned on wifi, but once i got everything up and running i haven't tried it again.

check this post out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50760152&postcount=11
Factory reset did not work at all in this matter, does anyone know how to take apart the sim card tray, or anything my phone recognizes the sim once it is powered on, because i see the numbers of the iccid match and imei match. Once i get the error message the iccid goes to "Unknown", There has to be some way to fix this.
Looks like a problem with either the SIM card or the SIM card reader. Take it back to a Sprint store?

Hi All,
I have a Galaxy SII, which I rooted and flashed with ICScrewD ♦♦♦♦Homemade Ice Cream
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375255
It worked fine for a couple of days, now all of a sudden I am not getting any signal on my phone, and instead of the signal bars I am getting the no network symbol. I tried different modems, different ROMs, doesn't seem to work. I even went back to the stock, but no luck.
When I went to the wifi & network settings and tried to click on the network settings it says "insert sim card" even though the sim is already in there. I tried my sim on a different phone, it works fine. So i am guessing its not At&t's fault.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
When you re-inserted your sim card back in your GS2, what happened? Is it an old sim and are the contacts worn and scratched?
The contacts are just fine. Even when i reinsert it nothing happens, I still get the no network symbol. It is basically behaving like no sim is inserted.
Well it sounds like a trip to an AT&T store might be in your future to test another SIM card. Hopefully that's all it is. Wifi radio works fine?
Try reflashing back to stock?
The wifi works just fine, and i tried flashing it back to stock, did a factory reset also, but nothing seems to work.
I have not dropped my phone even once, so that rules out the physical damage.
Well not sure this will help *fix* the issue, but might provide a bit more insight into what exactly the phone is and isn't seeing. If you download Elixir 2, linked below, and run a report and send it to yourself via email, look in the Telephony section of the report and see if the phone even sees the SIM card. Obviously it sounds like it doesn't, but if it gives you your SIM serial info in there, you might be able to rule out an issue with the actual card itself, etc.
Elixir 2 - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&feature=search_result
Nope, it says sim state is unknown, I guess i will have to go to the At&t store then.
Thanks anyways.
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.

"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.
So my htc amaze has recently started giving me some problems. It just lost its service one day and it comes back once in a blue but then it goes away. I am running stock ICS. When i start the phone it gives me a "system process has stopped working" error message. ANd it doesn't get service. When i go to check the APN settings it tells me "No sym card is detected" I've restore to factory but still have the same problem.
Sound like either you have a bad SIM Card or Bad Sim Card Slot. It's possible that it could be a issue with T-Mobile because my S3 was doing the same thing 2 days ago. Did you try a new SIM card yet.

yes. i get i new sim card, but still the same problem. I reset to factory
This some times happens to me also. But it goes away after a reboot. If a reboot doesn't clear it up call T-Mobile for a replacement.

I got this Nokia phone
since I got it been saying sim card error.
Now I know it was locked
I put in other sims and it never game me the option that it had detected a sim card and was gonna unlock
then I tried a friend's sim it detected I was able to put the code in and get the phone unlocked.
But since then no matter which sim i put in the phone does not detect the sim
Now I can't send the phone back as I'm out of the US I bought from ebay. I will see if I can file a complain via Paypal but don't want to do that unless I contact the person.
Can anyone let me know if they have ever encountered this and how to get it fixed?
thanks

I just got a 920 I kept getting a sim card error and,the phone was supposed to be unlocked. Now reseting phone by powering,off and on sometimes fixes it and,my,carrier shows up. But it always drops it.
My phone has the black update fyi
I read and,I changed automatic network selection to manual and selected my carrier. So far so good. With the notification bar hiding I never see if it connects lte, I only ever see 3g but at least the signal never drops...it,would drop and not reconnect once every half hour..

Hello guys, I have an issue with my HTC Amaze 4G, the issue is that it cannot detect my SIM Card, it shows NO IMEI, when I try to call *#06# I get a blank IMEI window. If I reboot the phone into bootloader and then back on, it will ask me to enter my SIM Card security code and proceed. After I enter my SIM Card security code, I get a full signal on the top bar and after 30 - 45 seconds the phone restarts and we go from scratch, no IMEI, it cannot detect the SIM Card. When I get to this point, it shows the grey signal bars and a white X above them. If I try to turn on "Air Plane Mode" and back off that doesn't work, I can't even turn it on, in settings it shows "ON" but I still have the grey signal bars and the white X above them. At this point, I restart the phone, and when we come back to the lockscreen, it shows "Air Plane Mode" on. Any ideeas? Should I buy a new SIM reader ? The phone is not rooted or with a custom rom..
Thanks !
Ps. I don't have a warranty on the phone, it expired..

You've got a corrupt partition, one of the potential downsides of s-off. There have been other posts with users having similar problems. Do a search to see how they resolved it. If worse comes to worse you may have to flash a factory ruu.

Thank you for your answer, but that doesn't help me. As i said above, THE PHONE IS NOT ROOTED OR WITH A CUSTOM ROM. It's on original rom with the Bootloader locked and S-ON.
Call T-Mobile, its an error on their end.

I read today that there may be a need to upgrade tmobile SIM cards to conform with or utilize the New towers they acquired when they took over metro?
