Alright, lately after I unlock my phone it tells me that my sim card is not found. It bugs me a lot because I have to shut the phone down and take the card out and back in. No, I didnt drop it and it isnt rooted. Is it my sim card or the phone? And if it keeps doing this, should I send it into ATT?
if you have some compressed air i'd blow it in the sim card slot, but thats probably not the problem i would take it to AT&T and try to get a new sim card or have them look at your phone
Is the sd/sim cover flush?

Is it the SD card that came with the phone, or one you bought separately?

I had to go get a new SIM card today because the original was not connecting. It initially didn't enable a network signal, so the gal rebooted my phone....and of course saw my custom boot animation and status icons and what not...I don't think she had seen a rooted phone before...said something about "you've really bling'd this thing out haven't you? This is the most customized phone I have ever seen"... [sheepish grin]
Pull out the batery and turn on with the sim card inside.

Try the battery pull mentioned above. If it keeps happening then try getting a new sim from att. If the issue persist then call att they will more then likely replace the phone.

Hi all,
I have my primary phone which is an international SGSII and I have my Infuse as my secondary phone.
I experienced random reboots on my SGSII which I couldnt seem to explain and I started using my Infuse for a while now and it has now started to randomly reboot which it only has started doing since I put my sim card in it and had NEVER done it with no sim card in it so... Can these issues be being caused by a bad sim card?
The card itself is a bit old...
Please advise...
Anything's possible i guess, if you didn't change anything else or install any software on both that might have caused i would assume it would be the sim card.
Try one or the other for a day without the sim card and the other with sim card and see what happens. Then switch and re-test.
Interested in knowing if it's the sim card or not, as a last resort you could just buy a new sim card from an AT&T store.

Very possible since Samsung has implemented (since the Galaxy Tab 7" i think) a little "feature" where it forces your phone to reboot when it cant see the SIM. Its possible that the SIM is loosing contact and forcing a reboot. Hard to be sure though.
Having a huge issue here need some help, I recently finally got my unlock code from ATT and was very happy, I applied my unlock code with a SIM I had at work and all was good, I will be traveling out of country and had an Ekit SIM decided to test with the phone, it worked fine, then I went to put in my ATT SIM (i had it cut for microsim size, so I`m using adapter, but never had issues) and now I get the little no SIM sign and no service, interesting part is that the signal bars seemed to go up maybe just cosmetic...
I was on the ICS and then went back to SkyICS which is 2.3.5 but my modem statyed on UCLA4, I found the older 3 modem and now it shows no bars but still SIM is not working, I tried multiple SIM cards and always show the SIM symbols and when I go to mobile networks it says SIM is not present. Please help me as this is my primary phone and Im stuck, I really wouldnt like to reset everything.
If it was me I'd make a nandroid backup, then ODIN flash the Samsung official stock I727 UCKJ2 2.3.5 firmware from sammobile here. After flashing stock, booted into stock e3 recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset and see if that resolves the 'no sim' issue. If the phone still doesn't recognize the AT&T sim, take it into an AT&T store and request a new sim card. If it's still borked even with a new sim card they should swap it under warranty.

I guess I have to try to go to Stock, no choice here, I know its not the SIM tried in wifes phone and its fine, also that EKit SIM that just worked in the phone does not, could I some how damaged the SIM card holder ?
Sounds like it could be the sim slot. Anyway, if you put it back to stock you'll have not issues at the store when you swap it. Then restore your nandroid backup on the new phone.

Only thing is I bought this phone on ebay back in January, its registered under my account and everything, and I got it brand new. I hope ATT will repair/replace under warranty. Sad thing is I was fighting with ATT for 2 weeks to get this phone unlocked and finally got it now I have to swap it and go thru the same process .
I dont get how this happened, this is not the first time I swap SIMs and all was good, I think its pretty hard to break a SIM slot, but I guess I did it some how. So Pissed off right now its not even funny
Just as a long shot, maybe try cleaning the sim card contacts with a pink pencil eraser. Sounds crazy, but I have a Garmin running watch and the contacts on the back sometimes get dirty and it won't sync with my PC, so I just 'erase' them a bit and it's back in action.
If AT&T won't do the warranty swap, Samsung will directly-- although that's a little more of a hassle. Good luck!

The card and the slot contacts, if you can get at them.
Also, you said the card is cut and in an adapter - maybe it's just not quite lining up with the slot pins. Try it with the card not quite fully pushed into the slot.

I cant even backup current ROM, it gets to somewhere on the data part and trows me back to recovery, been doing this for the last hour, getting really frustrated and tired !
Maybe it's time to punt and flash stock 2.3.5 with factory reset.

Yep was able to backup and flash stock from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348. still same no sim, I cleaned the SIM and the slot, even tried with some compressed air nothing all the same... I guess I`ll go to ATT store, do they usually replace phones on the spot ? I`m used to going to apple store where they just replace it... This really sucks !
I don't know if this will help, but have you tried manually inputting the APN for whatever carrier SIM you have at the moment? It's worth a shot
Edit: and are they LTE SIMS?

I would do that, but when I go to mobile networks I can't get to setting, it's says Insert sim to change mobile network settings.
The SIMs worked fine before yesterday. 1 is ATT lte 1 is not, but again it says no sim inserted.
Baseband says kj2?

I'm running the latest CM and often receive an error stating that my Sim Card has been removed, and to Restart my phone to get service
Not sure if its my phone or sim card, I tried swapping my sim card in my old G1 but it said I had to put in a sim card unlock code which I don't have.
I'll upload a screen shot as soon as I can. it's annoying when the error pops up in the middle of a phone call!

Sound like your sim card socket is loose. Mine did this. I powered it down, removed the battery and sim card. Then I just pushed down the metal clip that hold the sim card in so it was more snug. Replace everything and power back up.
similar problem

I'm also on Straight Talk and mine did a similar thing a few days ago. It just would not recognize my SIM. I just let it sit for a bit, took it out, made sure the SIM adapter was alright, did a reboot and rest the APNs.

hi , this happens mostly when you insert a corrupted sim card .for example you cut it for creating micro sim and didn't do well . please be careful be aware of any pressure and hard action when you are trying to insert sim card .
anyway , you should show issue to a expert shopper to look accurately .

The HTC One S did have problems with the SIM card locking in place or something similar. I believe it was just loose and the SIM card couldn't be read. You should try and get a new SIM, if that doesn't work it is your phone.

My son try to help me and cut the sim. End up with broken sim tray and had to replace($89 at shop). Then I got the micro sim from carrier. 2 weeks latter I get the "no sim" message. Had to re-set the sim. Work for next week and happen again. Then I read about the "tape trick". Put 1 or 2 layers of clear tape on back of sim and the problem was gone. 3 months, and still do not have sim problem. I learn that most of the micro sim devices have that problem ( HTC and Samsung).
Hey everyone thanks for your help in advance... I just bought my phone and went to T-Mobile to get a new micro Sims card. After putting it in, the phone didn't recognize it. I put in the APN settings and it doesn't save it. This really sucks right now because I don't know what else to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. And my phone isnt rooted yet, just want the stock for now. Thanks again
Is the sim activated? Sometimes on a new sim it takes a few hours to start working.
I was already on Tmo with an N5. I just moved the sim over and all was good.

What he said. If OP has another phone that uses a MicroSIM, put the sim in that phone and see if it works.
Also did u insert the sim properly into its slot?

I actually didn't. I agreeing with what you said and added onto your point.
I didn't mean the u to be directed to NaterTots but to the OP. Sorry for the confusion.
I screwed up and instead of using my old Sim card and cutting I went into T-Mobile and had them activate a new micro Sim card and put it straight in. The old one is deactivated.
The new micro Sim does work in my old gslaxy S2 phone which used an older big Sim card. Its now using a Sim adapter.

Did you insert the SIM card in the right direction and not upside down? I know thats silly to ask.
to be honest its simple man and actually nothing you needed to make a thread about. Simple go to TMobile store and try an already active sim card. Go to AT&T and see if they can put an active sim card to help you out. Basically go to anywhere that works with a TMobile or AT&T derivative and try it out. Nothing really else we can do to help you on this.
Not try to be rude or anything but its the truth. If none of that works then you may have to RMA. Also maybe find a friend or family member and try their sim . Good luck :good:
Should work. Using my one plus with Solavei (t-mobile based company) and having no issues.

First time i've also put the tray wrong. True story
Just had this problem after coming from using the phone overseas and no signal whatsoever on the phone despite numerous restarts, SIM cleaning, and chats with T mobile. After verifying the APN was correct I went to Settings-->About Phone-->Status-->SIM Status and checked to see if the SIM was connected(it showed my phone number, but was disconnected). So from here went to Settings-->Mobile Networks-->Network Operators and let the phone find carriers automatically. Mine showed T-mobile(with a little SIM icon to the right of it), Verizon, and ATT. I clicked on T-Mobile and it registered and is now working.
Probably saved me $15 at the T-Mobile store. Hope this helps even just one of you.
