Hi guys, new to ths and apologies if I am asking something already asked but I tried to check and didn't see anything similar. I was send a samsung galaxy s vibrant from the US and it was unlocked in my country (Zimbabwe). The phone worked fine for a while and then started having a weird problem. The phone loses network or does not recognise the sim card but if I restart the phone whilst the USB cable is connected into a computer then it reads the sim card and also gets network. Any ideas what the problem might be or more importantly how to solve it?

Have you done anything to your phone since the last time it worked? Any updates? Did you flash your rom/radio? If you tested it on someone else's phone and it didn't work there either I'd say it's your sim card. Try in a 3rd phone just to be sure, but I'd consider taking it to your Cell provider to get the sim card checked out.
Call your carrier.
Hi, any help here would be greatly appreciated. My phone says no sim card and I have no network. Now that might not seem like a major problem but my phone has somehow lost its IMEI number.It has just gone! I have not changed the software it is just a standard phone. Any ideas how I get this IMEI back because without it my phone is useless? I have done all the usual factory resets but nothing works.
galaxy doing the same

My wife's samsung galaxy s gt 5380i has suddenly decided not to let her text/call. service state says out of service, mobile network state says disconnected.Her sim works in my iphone, and she has 3 bars showing of her EE signal. I've checked everything I can think of, but no joy. I cleaned the sim contacts, but apart from resetting the phone I'm stymied. My t-mobile sim didn't work in the galaxy either. When trying to call an error message says no mobile network available. I bought the phone a couple of months ago on ebay, it's immaculate and worked flawlessly until this morning. Please help, wife is not impressed...
I have recently purchase a Note 4 clone phone from China. It works very well but I have a problem. When I got it I inserted an EE micro simcard which work fine whilst I waited for my proper talktalk simcard to arrive. Now however when I insert the talktalk simcard in I get no signal and the message emergency calls only.
I think with these types of the devices, once you insert the first sim card into it, they tend to lock onto that network and won't work with anyone other.
My question is therefore:-
Is there a way to unlock a Note 4 clone phone
If the phone can not be unlocked, I was thinking that if I back up the ROM and reflash the phone with the same ROM it might fix the problem. But I do not know how to back up the ROM. I've read a number of threads but still remain confused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can not use the phone at all now. The device is rooted.
Thanks in advance
Any help guys

Is anyone able to help?
Hey everyone!
I need some advice from an experienced member. More of a theoretical issue - can a phone not recognizing a SIM card be a software issue if the wifi is working?
I'm having some trouble with an old phone (S4 active ATT I537). I managed to flash it back to stock and played around with it for a few days, rooting, a ROM etc then restarted it one time and now it will not recognize the SIM card. It's driving me crazy I tried cleaning the contacts but I'm about to just sell it as is.
-Same SIM works in an S4 I337 right after I take it out of the active and put it in
-Wifi works on both phones
