Wondering if anyone can help, im using team Eos European 3g rom zoom. now i tried 1 sim card and the 3g works perfectly but when i try my other sim, i enter the pin code on screen , it accepts it, then immediately says "Sim card removed, the mobile network will be unavailable until you restart...." .
The sim card definitely isnt broken because it works in my phone and 3g modem on my pc. I've tried restarting the xoom with Wifi off and no luck.
Thanks

how old is that "other" sim card? Reason I'm asking is that sim cards use different voltages and old cards tend to cause problems in modern devices.
Around here, providers usually swap sims for free if you say that you've got a problem with one, so I'd go for an exchange if your sim is older that maybe two years...

Its actually brand new, got it on the weekend. It works perfectly everywhere else. I think i'll go to the provider anyway today and see if i can try a sim swap.
This really is baffling me now. I went back to the providers store and tried a different one of their sim cards and it doesnt work either. I just cant understand why my xoom can read certain providers sim cards and not others? (Its definitely not network locked). Could it possibly be the type of sim card (as in a 32k vs 64k etc)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Please delete this thread. It works now. I didn't do anything special. It just started working on its own (while I was with Samsung Level 2 Tech Support).
Well, not knowing sh** from shinola about things like sim cards and such (Currently on Verizon until my Captivate is delivered), it would seem logical that it is the new sim. That is the only variable that has changed. Same model phone, same networks on all three devices, same sim on first two devices that worked on all three wifi networks, different sim on third device that does not work on your business wifi. Do you not have the old sim card to try it out with?

Sorry to have to delete my original post since (for some reason) it started to work on me while I was waiting on the phone with Level 2 Tech Support. I thought about the SIM card being the only variable. While I don't have the old SIM card to try (besides, it's been deactivated) I removed the SIM card and turned the phone on. Still, no go. (My old phones with no SIM cards work with WiFi).
So anyway, it works now for some reason. I did a factory reset, didn't work from the get-go. Kept trying and trying and finally I have had it. Called Samsung, waited on the phone, and finally it started to work!
That's good to hear.
Anyone else experience issues with swapping their SIM from their old phone into the G2X? I have reseated mine from my N1 into the phone 3 times, and each time I boot it says I have no SIM card. Pulling my hair out!
I went from an N1 to the g2x and i had the same problem so here is the deal...
the g2x is a 4g phone and it required a new sim card version so i had to trade in the sim card that i have had since my i got my razr in 2005...
so disclaimer to anyone who buys the phone outright, you have to have an updated sim card... just go into tmobile and they will give you one...
mines wont check for sim card at all it keep saying no service even without a sim card it usually say no sim but it just say no service can someone help plz plz plz
Fyi make sure it is a corporate store. Otherwise it could cost ya $20. Customer care might even be able to mail you one...not sure. If your near Chicago I would just give you one of my extras.

I reused the sim from my N1 and have had no issues but it was probably a newer version sim since I just got it beginning of last year.
If you have an old T-Mobile phone lying around, try inserting your SIM into that, and using it, then re-insert it into your G2X.
Alright I opened it up and it looked like the antenna cable was a bit frayed near the tip, I attached a few pics. It was connected though so not sure :/

I have the same issue.
Mint condition G2X does not detect my sim card reads "error while trying to connect to network"
I am running CM 7.2 I have wiped everything and reflashed still no luck.
Add one more to the pile...
I also recently began having this problem, but my device previously worked fine.
I have tried Restoring to Factory V21Y with Mar 11 Baseband
Flasing a GB Based ROM & Stock Kernel
Flashing CM9
Flashing CM10
Entering *#*#INFO#*#* Phone Info and modifying frequency band (No Go).
At one point I was able to read the Phone # from the SIM card, but couldn't get a lock on Netowkr. I can visually detect T-Mobile and ATT in Mobile Networks.
I have tried this with 4G Enabled SIM Cards and older T-Mobile SIM Cards.
I have tried Simple Mobile, Straight Talk, & ATT SIM Cards.
I have tried using None APN's, the TMo/Simple Default APN's, and Modified APN's for Straight Talk & Family Talk.
No avail.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem. A new SIM card fixed it.

I gave my friend my old G2x because she was switching from AT&T to TMobile. She went to the TMobile store and got a new SIM card and her old AT&T number transferred to it. It works on her old iPhone but when I insert the SIM card on the LG G2x , it keeps saying 'no SIM card inserted'....do i need to flash a certain baseband on it and/or setup a custom APN for it? I am on the stock ROM thats rooted...
Any help is much appreciateed
Sorry for not replying until now but I rarely visit here anymore. My G2X had a bad Sim card which a new Sim fixed. I just had to wait until the network could authorize with it.
I visited my sister in Germany and she gave me a Vodafone branded Xoom2 UMTS (MZ616). I was able to flash it with ICS and everything works great.
I got a new sim card from ATT (I live in ghe US)and put it into the tablet. This is were my issues start.
I see no APNs. When I add an APN it disappears or I cannot save it.
I tried everything. Sometimes when I try to manually search for the network ATT pops up. When I select it, it will show bars for a short time or i may get a "sim not authorized for this network error.". When I add data roaming, it may shows the ATT APNs for a short time.
I also get an error when trying to add a simlock I get a "no sim card" error.
I am stumped. I searched the various forums and I get a lot of inconsistent info.
Is this issue related to the tablet being locked? Does that even matter? Is this some sort of region issue? Do I need to unlock the bootloader or should I use a different ROM?
I do not think the sim card is faulty.
Any help appreciated.
Sim Card Size????
So I compared the old Vodafone sim card with the 'new' AT&T sim card. The plastic outline of both cards seesm to be micro. However, the gold plated contacts on the new cards are definitely micro sim, but the old Vodafone card seems to be old school size (not sure what that size is called). If the size of the gold plated material matters, then this may be may issue. Like I said, above, when I first boot into the tablet with the new sim card I will have bars for a short time, but they disappear and the sim card does not seem to be recognized.
Can someone knowledgeable on sim card size matters as they pertain to the Xoom2 please weigh in and let me know if this is the issue?
I took a pic of the sim cards. From left to right: Old Vodafone sim, new AT&T sim, 2FF (mini sim card) for size comparison.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Which is why you shouldn't purchase a non compatible phone, for use in another area?
This is why you shouldn't buy this phone from the scalpers. The chinese version does not support many of the worldwide bands that the "global" version of the phone does. My advice would be to try to sell it to someone who can use it and sign up on the OnePlus forums and wait for an invite for the CM version which supports the bands you need.
Get a new sim, sounds like an old sim that doesn't have the updated CellID info in it.
I had to change my 3 sim when I had my SGS4 as it wouldn't register because it was too old.

I had that happen to me on the interational one and felt quite dumb afterwards...
Make sure the SIM card tray is rotated DOWN so that the contacts on the sim card look to the back of the phone.
It will fit both ways (imho a very strange design choice) but with a tiny little space left when rotated the wrong way.
In other words: turn the phone on it's screen before inserting the sim card facing you.
I have _NO_ clue why the phone thinks it has a SIM card when obviously it cannot access it...

I've been using my 3G mobile connection for quite a while now.
Well, WAS using, someday, it suddenly stopped working. I thought it was because I exceeded my 250mb limit but, unfortunately, it wasn't that.
It usually showed up 'H' and had a fairly nice download speed, but now it only shows E and has a tremendously bad download speed.
So, after figuring out it wasn't my plan having its limit exceeded, I decided to try somethings to fix it. At the time I was using the most recent CM11 nightly.
I did a wipe and installed the latest snapshot. Didn't work.
I tried configuring the APN, exactly like my parent's Moto G, and had no luck.
And then now, as a last resort, did a COMPLETE wipe(including internal storage), and flashed the latest Android L ROM available.
Nothing worked, at all, actually.
I've also tried inserting my SIM card to my mother's Lumia 720. It worked as it should. Showed up 'H'. Her functioning SIM card also didn't work on my cellphone.
I'm getting desperate.
I live in Brazil, and my mobile operator is "Oi"
call your operator. you are getting edge, "E". thats very slow data speeds! also, look in tbe main settings, mobile networks. what is it set for.. lte, 3G, or 2G?

As I said, the SIM card works properly on another cellphone, and other SIM cards don't work on mine. The network is set for 4G.
The problem is on the cellphone, that's for sure. I ran out of ideas so I decided to post here.

try this.. dial *#*#4636#*#*, then press phone info, then change the lte/gsm to wcdma preferred. this will prefer 3G(not lte). btw, have you tried calling your operator? it can just be how they have you set up in their system now.

I did call my operator, but they told me to try the SIM card on another phone to see if it works and it worked. They didn't have anything to do.
Also, I've tried configuring that, still shows E. If I choose "Only WCDMA", my network goes unavailable.

did you try the *#*#4636#*#*?
if its fine with the other sim card, then its not your phone. you might need a new sim card.

dont know what to tell you, honestly. you tried another sim card in your phone, and it works. you tried your sim card in another phone, and it works. but your sim card doesnt work properly in your phone.. it should be working in your phone as well then, unless you do not have a 3G signal around you. personally, id just ask them for a new sim card, just in case.

oh, ok. the sim reader could have broken(somehow). thats actually a fairly common issue. can you get an exchange? where did you buy yours?

I bought it from the internet. I don't think I can get an exchange.
UPDATE:
I've figured out the problem. It's the signal. When the H signal isn't strong enough, it goes to E. I was on another place on my city today and there H was working, and exactly when I got back, the signal started being EDGE.
Now, I've tried flashing another radio. I just downloaded the ZIP and flashed. Note that I am on Android L. It still has the same problem. Now I ask, how may I fix this?
