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?

after 3 weeks of trying to get hold of this device, finally got it today (yesterday)
Problems already! URGH
any SIM card I insert, I always get an "invalid or missing simcard" - im sure i placed the sim card in the correct way and reading the manual of course. I've even performed a hard reset just to make sure and I still get the same problem.
Does this mean that already, after 3 weeks of trying to obtain the phone and the whole transfer number to another sim then to another etc... was pretty much a run around and turning out that the phone is faulty?
is there a way to fix it or perhaps some setting that im not aware of to forcefully enable detection of networks or something?
help!
If you are pretty sure that you had your SIM card in correctly, there isn't much you can do. Sound like a faulty phone.
Anyway, my advise is, get another technical savvy person to double confirm your SIM card is in.
And, as for your answer, there isn't any way of getting the phone to see a network if it is not able to get hold of the SIM card.
Hi all, as the title says, I randomly get this issue. I just wake up the phone and see this message here, although I have SIM card still in phone and didn't do earlier anything with it. It is sometimes 2x a week, but sometimes 2x two weeks, it's random. Earlier I just got the phone into Airplane mode and then back and it was OK, but now I have to power the phone off and pull out the SIM. SIM card doesn't seem to be damaged. I tried searching several times, but didn't find anything. Should I just replace the SIM with the new one or is it something worse, that isn't related with my SIM ?
Thank you.
I've got the same problem~
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.
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.
Why is this a thing and how do I get rid of it? Happens all day long just flashing on and off. I have a sim in with full working network. I'm rooted on .200, got this notification on .152 and if I remember correctly it was still on mm. I know I'm not alone because I found a YouTube video searching for it:

It happens to me too occasionally. My phone is not rooted, still on lollipop.
Sent from my E5823 using XDA Free mobile app
it happens for me as well
Kind of ridiculous
By the way it's behaving, it would seem logical that there's an issue with the sim card reader or the sim card.
Given this is not happening to many people.
Try a different sim to see if it persists. If it does then I'd think it was down to the sim reader hardware.
Just a thought

Do you not get this notification? I am a heavy user, my phone is never really off and it's pretty constant at about every 30 minutes flashing a few times, with or without sim in.
I get it as well. Sometimes it happens very often. Sometimes there is longer in between. Have seen the error with different sim cards
