I purchased this http://www.magic-sim.com/product/id/23/MAGICSIM_ELITE_-_GALAXY_S4_DUAL_SIM_ADAPTER.html and I can't seem to get this to work, Customer support from Magic-sim.com is non existant. before I return it does anyone here have any suggestions,
when I insert this magi sim and power on it says "no sim" please insert sim card. I have tried probably 20+ times inserting and reinserting, making sure everything is making a good connection etc... but it dosn't even read the verizon sim. Both my verizon sim and the new one work just fine when by themselves but neither one will work with the magic sim adapter so before i return this does anyone have any suggestions? I would really like this to work.
I am running Android 4.3
Device SCH-1545
my Verizon Sim is less then a year old. and the new sim is about 1 week old.
Thanks!!

Here's my problem, hopefully somebody can figure it out before I give up and sell this to somebody with AT&T.
I received a freshly refurbished AT&T 8525 (from ebay) and wanted to use it with a T-Mobile SIM. I upgraded to the latest AT&T distribution (WM6, downloaded from HTC), ran the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a successfully, put my SIM in and everything worked. After calling a friend and talking for about 5 minutes, the call mysteriously ended. I tried recalling (wouldn't connect) and then restarted the phone but it wasn't getting a signal.
Fearing the worst, I tried flashing the latest radio, rerunning the Unlock, and flashing various other ROMs (including an HTC, Schap's, and Pv Dvh Wm6.1 19209) but there was no change. The icon on the Today screen would either give an exclamation point or just continue scanning. If I went into the phone settings and tried to switch to manual network selection, I would sometimes get a choice of T-Mobile or Cingular but any connection attempt would result in a "Failed to register to network" message.
My SIM card works perfectly in both my old phone (HTC Tornado) and an older unlocked Nokia.
My last attempt was to put my friend's AT&T card into my A&T 8525 and it connected just fine with calling ability and everything! I've since run unlock many times, reflashed the radio, installed other ROMs and installed various version of Hard-SPL but none of them seem to be able to connect to the T-Mobile network using my SIM card (but have no problem connecting with my friend's). I can see the phone book on my SIM card so I know its not a bad SIM connection and it does not prompt me for a password (as it first did when I placed my SIM card in the phone when I first received it) so I'm pretty sure it is actually unlocked.
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!
Try borrowing a friend's phone with AT&T, shove his sim into your phone and talking on it for a few minutes and see if it still happens there. If It doesnt then try your SIM again. Also, try reflashing your radio without your simcard inserted.
I tried reflashing the latest radio without a SIM, then inserted my SIM but there was no change. I'll try talking on it for a while with my friend's SIM and see if anything happens, but I'm doubtful. Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?
I've noticed that when I go into Settings>Phone>Network and select Manual, all the cooked ROMs I've tried end in a "Cannot read settings from the network." while AT&T's gives a selection of T-Mobile or Cingular (neither of which actually let me register to a network, though).
I put my friend's AT&T card in and called my own cell phone. The connection died after 5 minutes, but then I called my own cell phone again and they stayed connected for 10 minutes before I ended it. I put my SIM back into the 8525 and still no signal.
While the AT&T SIM is inserted, the Settings->Phone->Network screen is different. It just says:
Current Network: AT&T
and has a button for Find Network which just pops up a window saying "Registering on the network...
Any other ideas?
Send it back to whoever sold this to you on ebay. Not worth all the hassle that you are going thru. I have the same phone and bought mine off ebay as well. It worked perfectly out of the box with no problems. I have t-mobile and when I placed the sim in - bam - the phone just worked. I had to configure the pop3 email and mms settings manually, but that was it. I have htc's wm6 on it.
Thanks for the advice, but the first one I got from this guy the screen died after a couple of days. He said it was under warranty so I sent it back to him to get it replaced and it took him 3 months to finally return it to me. I really don't want to deal with him again.
I was wondering if there was a difference between the SIM cards. Could you please run the "SIM Manager" Application on your phone. Then go to Menu>Tools>SIM Information and check out the numbers there. Mine says:
Total Phonebook Size:
250
No. of Phonebook Entries
20
Max. length for name:
16
Max. length for phone number:
50
SMS Message storage capacity:
30
Although my friend who has an AT&T 3G SIM has slightly higher numbers for max. length of name, phone number, and SMS storage capacity.
I've also heard some stuff about specifically asking to get your account 3G enabled, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this problem.
I figure I'll go down to a T-Mobile store and see if I can get somebody to let me try a newer SIM in the phone before giving up completely and selling it.
That's too bad. I bought my phone from zendoo and they have a pretty good rating off of ebay. I'd hate to find out that your ESN or whatever is corrupted. Here are my settings
Total Phonebook Size:
250
No. of Phonebook Entries
11
Max. length for name:
16
Max. length for phone number:
40
SMS Message storage capacity:
30
Oh well, I guess I'll see what I can sell this for, wait until my contract is up at the end of summer, and then see what new phones are out then. Thanks for your guys help.
Please help, have a horrible annoying problem…
Recently upgraded to iphone [to sell]
Put my micro sim in my phone until my normal sim arrived, once I got my normal sim and activated it I found I could longer make calls or send txts. But I can browse the web, very strange.
Currently my signal bar has an exclamation mark next to it, I’ve tried an Orange and T-Mobile sim which work absolutely fine, I have tried other O2 sims but get the same problem.
I’ve also tried flashing using task29, have tried radio’s 2.07.50, 2.10.50 and 2.12.50 and various different roms
Thanks in advance
does the sim still works in the iphone? If not its a sim failure and you should get a new one from your provider
check the small print, your sim probably belongs to jobs corp now, and has deactivated itself and reported your treason directly to the implant in steves head when you took it out of the iphone
Lol going to have to sleep with one eye open...but to answer wilwilwel the micro sim no longer works and the sim im using at the moment works absolutely fine in any other phone
HELP!
I dont know how to get home with out my htc
Oddly enough, my sim tray will only work with only one sim. And unfortunately, it is a broadband sim. Where I can't text and call. When it comes to regular sims, it would do say 'no SIM card.' Does anybody know what to do? Thanks
I am having the same kind of issue as well. I have a att i717 on stock 4.1.2 no root and sim carrier unlocked. Actually I have 2 EXACTLY the same, the one I've been using for 6 months with a cricket sim card have had no issues. With this 2nd i717 that I got yesterday, its now sim unlocked not rooted on 4.1.2, just like mine, my cricket sim works in it just fine but my sons metro pcs sim doesn't. My goal is for my son to have the exact same phone as me but with his metro pcs sim. Any help please? My son goes back to his moms tomorrow night and was really hoping he can go back with his big o phone working with his metro pcs sim.
Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!
[SOLVED]
Everyone, after months of waiting and keeping it in stock condition, my sim is now working. After playing with sim tray, I solved it. Just keep the metal frames up, all the metal frames.
HI GUYS, Im having an issue with my phone(HTC dna) that is getting beyond frustrating. I got the phone like a month ago off of something it worked fine for the first week..then one day randomly stopped reading my sim card.. Im not a total dummy so ive done and ruled out the obvious , my firmware was verison 4.09.605.4 I just updated it to the current one. 4.09.605.8 so i ruled out firmware being an issue. i then went to amazon and bought the new board were the sim card attaches and the audio jack attaches i just installed that yesterday and still nothing!!. I even bought a new up sim card tray still no.. when the sim card TRAY isnt installed i get a message when about a im card not detected ,ect. when i push the tray in that message goes away which indicates it is trying to read...but in the corner you see a sim card with x through it which means no sim card..I've replaced my sim card 3 times just to rule out that but my sim card works in my other phone just not this one.. When i first got this phone a month ago it worked fine!! no troubles.. Im on the ATT go plan..i put my sim in and nothing..but now it just doesnt work..ive tried hooking my phone to my computer and opening htc sync manager and tried doing the repair and nothing ive litterally tried and ruled out most of the obvious, Is this a known problem with these phones? Can anyone please!! help me with a solution i want this phone so badly..i love this phone!!..ill be waiting for replies..hopefully someone can drop knowledge to me! thank you!
I switched over to straight talk and had the same thing happen for awhile. Changed the tray and still didn't work. What ended up straightening it out for me was either resetting the apn settings or the new sim card i got. After I did those things it worked fine.
I have a Moto E LTE 2nd Gen XT1526 with ResurrectionRemix Mv5.6.5 Marshmello 6.0.1_/22-MHC19J
I need a ROM that supports AT&T SIM cards.
I have an AT&T SIM card but when inserted into the phone it is not recognized.
How do I go about finding and flashing a ROM that will recognize and utilize my AT&T SIM card giving me service?
In other words, can this phone be used as an AT&T phone?
Thank you
I'm not an expert but I think that had nothing to do with a rom you would have to flash the radio or base bands to make it work with at&t.
Okay, how would you do that?
I know how to "flash" for the most part, but I'm not the builder of this phone.
I did try a few other things that gave me a few more questions though.
I recently got the phone to replace mine that had broken. I requested a SIM card from AT&T because the replacement phone (the MotoE) takes a larger SIM card. When placed in the phone, and after restarting the phone, I got "No Service" and in the "Settings/About Phone/Status/SIM Status" no phone number or other information.
I did try a completely different SIM card that I found just laying around and placed it into the phone. Although I got no current service, the phone did recognize the SIM card and it did give me a phone number (even though it was inactive.)
Now I have no idea what carrier the second SIM card is on, but "IT" obviously worked just by inserting the card.
Here's the thing that's got me confused. This ROM looks as though it can do "ANYTHING" I might want it to do to a phone. I'm almost certain that it probably has the ability to use any carrier I want it to, it "IS" rooted for Apps and ADB, and does seem to give pretty good control over the phone's systems, but I just can't seem to figure this whole problem out,
Again, if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
