[Q] Galaxy tab 10.1 3G does not recognise SIM card

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.

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 .. ?

Just got Galaxy S3. Sim card?

I just got an unlocked international version of Galaxy S3, and I need some help please!!
So, this is my first time using a smart phone, so I don't know what to do AT ALL.. I just got the phone today, and
I went to Walmart to get Straight-Talk($45 unlimited data) but I realized that I need a sim card first??
(Not sure what voodoo thing is either..Sim Free?? Explain please )
When I called Straight-talk to ask things about sim card, they kept asking me what my service provider used to be even thought I kept saying that
I didn't have any because it was an international version. So, now I don't know what to do. Should I get a sim card and then use straight talk to text/call/etc? or can I go without a sim card??
Also, can I use at&t unlimited data($50) without contracts? which sounds better than straight talk.. Need help!! Thank you so much!!
The sim card allows your phone to connect to the network. You NEED one. Call straight talk or go to the website and order one.
You would be able to use AT&T prepaid but if they find out you are using a smartphone they will disable your data.

No sim Card is Detected

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.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago, now it wont read the sim at all. I ordered a new sim tray but it has not arrived yet, but if you search other threads, this may not fix our issue. Seems to be a problem with this phone.. I'll keep you posted if the replacement fixes my issue.
Dunno. Might be a fault in the mobo or the sim slot. I replaced the sim slot and it went away for the most part, but it comes back at least once per day.
