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.
My sim reader appears to be dead. The other day I go to use my phone and it says no signal, restart it and im good, browsing the web when all the sudden i get a message about no sim, insert sim and restart phone. So i restart and it was good for a couple days. Today my phone will not read a sim card. Tried my girlfriends captivate sim and no dice and my sim worked just fine in her phone. I odin back to stock to see if it would help but no dice. Seems like it must be hardware to me, has anybody had a similar problem.

Sounds like a bad solder joint or something hardware, unfortunately.
Hardware defects are covered by the warranty, should be able to get it replaced with relatively little hassle.... i say relatively, cause any time you're dealing with a warranty department There is inherently some hassle.
Ok u flashed a rom and have No SIM inserted or no service or that kind of error.I found this fix trying out things for myself.Take out your SIM card ,turn on airplane mode,reinsert it and turn off your phone(not reboot but power off).Wait for 1 minute and power it back on.Tada!Should be fixed!:fingers-crossed:
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was worried I was going to have to try one of the more complicated fixes I've seen here. I was puzzled because after performing Joseph230's procedure to root and "convert" an S4 from AT&T to T-Mobile (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/convert-i337-to-m919-wifi-caling-t2896719) everything seemed fine and I reinstalled all my apps. Then, I get the "No SIM inserted" error out of nowhere!
After much researching I was losing hope of finding a fix guaranteed to work. Then I found your post and it worked like a charm! :highfive:

Thank You
Im so glad that this worked because I was losing hope that my imei or something was broken and I git scared then I found this and it actually worked I thought it was because 5.1.1 or something anyways thanks for the help I actually loged in my XDA account just to post that cause I just always use the browser
A coworker brought me his G2 that I have taken apart to fix many times before because it was having problems charging and turning on (black screen; rhythmic buzz from the vibration motor). I worked around that to get it booted temporarily but then the SIM connection seemed to suddenly fail. I replaced the motherboard entirely because some charge/power issues persisted and everything works perfectly EXCEPT that the replacement also doesn't see the SIM. Both are running stock LG Verizon Lollipop (assumed installed by OTA). No one was playing around with alternate ROMs or anything. None of the fixes in this thread help. The SIM slot is on the board so I hesitate to assume that the charge, mic, headphone flex PCB has something to do with it, but it is the only major common component (even replaced the screen again along with the battery, speaker, etc while leaving out useless components). Any suggestions?
Long version:
After a previous screen replacement it would only buzz when attempting to turn on or buzz repeatedly when attempting to charge until I loosened the black screw near the battery connector. I definitely narrowed it down to that particular screw, though I still couldn't say why (the previous tech who replaced the screen may have shorted the battery terminal near there). When he brought it back to me it was doing the same thing again even with the screw completely removed. Within minutes I had it booting just by poking around. Not sure what I did but I had to take it apart and poke around again to get it to come on after making the mistake of turning it off (went right back to buzzing). I'm pretty sure that the SIM card worked because he received a couple text messages when I first got it turned on (phone hadn't been booted in a day). After getting it to turn on I had to leave it on while reassembling, so I put the SIM tray back in when I was done. The owner was watching and asked why the status bar showed an "X" on the signal strength, so I told him that it was because you had to reboot after reinserting a SIM on most Android devices (as opposed to dual-SIM and iPhone devices). Though I couldn't turn off without causing the power problem, I could safely restart. Unfortunately, restarting only gave me the "Insert SIM" message at boot and nothing I could do would get it to see the inserted SIM. I tried many SIM cards but none worked. I replaced the motherboard expecting it to be a solution to both problems but only the power problems went away. The SIM card issue remained even though the SIM slot is built into the part I replaced and the part I purchased is supposed to be guaranteed, tested, clean IMEI, etc. I'm at a loss. I've taken out every unrelated component and replaced the screen again and replaced the battery so about the only thing that is common is the flex PCB with the mic, headphone jack, display connectors, etc running through it. Not sure how that could be a factor, but I'm replacing it too. In the mean time, does anyone have any suggestions for what could be wrong?
Update: A new mic/USB/headphone flex PCB fixed it. I'm not sure how that can cause the SIM card to not be detected, but I conclusively tested and that was definitely the problematic component: No SIM card detected on either motherboard with the old flex PCB, SIM card detected fine on both motherboards with the replacement flex PCB.

Hello, is your LG G2 still working with the new PCB flex?
Thanks a lot, this solution worked for me ?
i've done flash rom on Mtv Slash 3G 512 RAM Tablet, but no sim detected ....& i've followed your suggestion but no solution made...!!!
I had spent more than one month using CM13 based ROM thinking its ROM based issue. but this resolved the issue.
But now no sim issue has been resolved yet no mobile signals are working...
I have a vs980 or the Verizon lg g2. It bought it unlocked and I use T-Mobile. The data worked when I was on the stock os. I then got cm13 and everything worked good accept it wouldnt see my sim card or it would say no signal. And it had no info on the sim card in the about phone settings. So I tried a few other nightlys and nothing worked. I went down to cm12 and still I got the same error. I tried what you said here multiple times and it doesn't seem to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I found a fix! Go into settings and select Mobile networks. When your in there there should be a "preferred network type" change that to global and there you go. Now I couldn't get that to work on cm13 because the settings would crash when you try to go into mobile networks. But I got it to work on cm12 just fine

I have a galaxy note 3 -n900 I flashed CM13 after which my phone keeps saying SIM removed/inserted... And I can't remove my SIM without taking out my battery. Also my IEMI no. is correct. So no problem there
THANKS!!!
I've spent the last three weeks dealing with various radio bugs and issues, clearing preferences, wiping caches, factory resetting, and installing clean ROMs. All it took is to set the thing into airplane mode? You've got to be kidding me!
Thanks a lot for the solution hackarchive! :good::good::good:

sim no detection on leeco le2

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?
