Hi all, swapped my 65gb sd for a 128gb sd this morning and now im getting no sim inserted message even though there is one in. I have swapped it for another sim and tried the sim in another phone and the sim is fine. Any ideas. Has anyone had problems with the sim tray or the comtacts inside the phone.
Unfortunately, it sounds like one of the sim pins bent or broke. I had the exact same problem after a Verizon rep installed a new sim. The guy seemed a bit inexperienced, and really fumbled with the sim tray. On the way home from the store, I noticed that I was getting the "no sim" icon. I removed and reinstalled the sim and it worked fine... for a while. That evening, I removed the tray and looked inside the slot with a lighted magnifier. Two pins were clearly visible, but there should have been three. I ended up getting an RA from LG, ans shipping it off for repair. Two and a half weeks later, I got the working phone back. I REALLY don't like that fact that the SD card shares the tray with the sim. Since LG vetoed adoptable storage, you'd think that there would be an easier way to remove the SD card. As it stands, I would say that the sim tray should be removed as carefully and infrequently as possible.

Having been on Sprint for the last 10 years & never used a phone with a sim card, I'm hoping this is an easy fix. For the last several days, I've been getting a pop up on my screen that says sim card removed, reboot phone. Sometimes when I reboot it works, sometimes it takes several reboots. Do you guys think it's just a bad card, or do you think it's the sim card reader itself? Anyone ever had this happen before?
Just pop into an AT&T store and swap for a new one. That should give you the answers.
Hi,
Recently, my canadian galaxy note stopped reading all sim cards. Ive tried flashing various roms but still nothing. All I get is the insert sim card icon in the task bar.
There are tonnes of threads regarding the international version, but i was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Just had this problem. If avail swap out sim cards with a known working card and if it still fails to register, the phone needs to be replaced.
Just happened to me yesterday and got a new phone today!
Hope this helps!
I am currently having the same problem with my ATT Note, but I am sending it to samsung to get fixed or replaced under samsung's warranty.
First check if your note has a an imei number. Go to settings about. There's also a # shortcut but I don't recall what it is. If not efs got corrupted some how. If you did the shortcut key if efs is corrupted it should display null/null. (I've got a captivate with this problem)
Sometimes it's a bad sim contact. Just by a worn out sim card, its happened to me. Clean off the contacts or get another sim card provisioned. Costs $6 for a new Rogers sim provisioning is free.
Hello all, i just bought one of these phones on ebay. Im not sure if the SIM slot if working. I put an inactive T-moblie and also an old AT&T sim card in there, but the lock screen shows "No SIM card" with a picture of a sim card with a red exclaimation point underneath that it says "no sim card inserted emergency calls only". I wanted to activate it on T-mobile or Straighttalk, but before i buy a new sim with a months plan i'd like to make sure that its working. Does the phone show this message with an inactive sim card inserted? or only when there is NO sim card inserted. Thanks for any help.

I have two amazes. One had a broken SIM slot. The other was normal.
The one with the broken SIM slot showed the no SIM card even when I used my good SIM card.
One of the guys from the forum sent me the phone to tinker with along with the $9 part. I fixed it and now, with an old non active SIM card in it it shows a cell signal. But no data.And when I try to make a call it goes straight to T-Mobile.
It's a very easy fix if you can get the party and the tiny torx driver to remove the screws.
How much did you spend buying the phone?

Get a new SIM first, then a new SIM slot replacement if it doesn't work.

Check with T-Mobile first, you might need to get a new SIM card.
If a new SIM does not fix the issue, just go with Chevy's suggestion and buy a new SIM part from ebay.com. Make sure you use the right tools, and an anti-static wrist strap may help! :good:
If you bought an Amaze at this point in time for over 130$, you probably didn't get the best deal considering how it isn't working right. I really don't understand why people still are buying Amazes when there's much nicer HTC phones lol.
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.
Hi all.
I've had my mi8 lite global for a few weeks now.
It's been great, seems to do all I need and more.
But, I've more recently been having an issue with it dropping my Sim card.
I can be using it or sitting standby and it'll suddenly flash to the lock screen and and show no Sim card found in the notification area.
Sometimes it can go a decent length of time with no issue (couple of days) while other times it'll repeatedly do it in one session.
Rebooting the phone brings it back to normal each time.
I've also tried putting my Sim in slot two and it doesn't read it all.
And another issue I have is my alarm failing, twice now.
No notification or anything. Just didn't go off.
Not sure if it's related or not.
Thanks!
I've sorted the alarm issue.
I allowed the clock to auto start.
But any tips or advice on how to sort and solve the SIM card issue?
Maybe it's the simcard itself try to test with another one
Don't have another SIM card. I can order one though.
It's also a new SIM card.
Where it's irregular, makes it difficult to prove where the issue is.
I can put my sim in an old phone but it's a faulty phone.
Does android save these kind of things to a log?
