Stopped working a couple days ago. Removed, reinserted and rebooted dozens of times. Went to tmobile and got a new sim and still no luck. I did just think to put it in another phone and then it works fine. Anyway I don't know what else to try? Suggestions?
check to make sure it's inserted the right way. happened to me once...

Ok I've searched the web and forums and couldn't find anything. So here's the story, woke up this morning, turned in my phone which came up with couldn't find sun card. So I tried the usual, re-setted, shut down removed battery & sin card etc, didn't help. So then decided to check if it was the phone or sun card by swapping sim cards with my girlfriends desire, and her sim card worked. But then we swapped back, and her sim card stopped working in her phone too. Has anyone else had the same thing happen or know what it is and how to fix it? I've ordered a new sun card but will the same thing happen? Am I going to have to factory reset my phone or is there another way around it? And how can I prevent this from happening again.
Thanks in advance!

I have had my Infuse for about 2 weeks now. From the day I got it, I noticed it would completely lock up and start vibrating. Last week i noticed the sim card was getting hot. This morning I was using it with no problems. I set it on the table, and when I picked it up to use it, the phone was showing a "No Sim" message. I have removed the sim and rebooted several times, but it still says "No Sim." Is my phone pretty much shot?

Wow, never heard of that before. Even if there is a fix for your issues id bring it back, since its only 2 weeks old the store should exchange right in the store. If you wait past 30 days than you may have to send it out for warrenty replacement.

Thanks Nash. The only problem is this phone was a replacement phone that my cousin got when he had problems with his first Infuse. They day this one arrived I traded my iPhone 4 for this Infuse. I'm not sure if AT&T will even do anything at this point. Looks like I might have to send it back to Samsung.
I forgot to mention that I am using the SIM card from my iPhone 4. It is smaller then the actual SIM card slot on the phone. I just took the card out and re-centered it, and now it works. I'm thinking I need to go in and upgrade my SIM card. I'll still take it in for the other problems, but for now at least I can make calls.
The first thing i would suggest would be the sim card. I have also had good luck with att's warranty center on the phone. I bought a samsung captivate from craigs list. The service rep said my account said I got the phone in like November (mind you I don't call att and change my imei unless with an upgrade). Told them I had the random shutdown problem and they replaced it no questions asked.

Yes you should replace your ip4 sim for one that fits, only thing is- I'm sure att will change your number from iphone to Infuse, with that pending, I'm not sure if samsung will warrenty that phone since you weren't origianlly contracted to that phone, I could be wrong. I do know that att can downgrade your data package by switching phones. I bought my gf an inspire from craigslist, I was told that att was releaseing an update for inspires to have "unknown sourses" but you had to call and request it. I called and when they asked for my account info and phone number they noticed that phone number went to a samsung captivate. I said that phone broke so I picked up a replacement. They said they would have to change account from captivate to Inspire, I said go a head. Than they told me said I'm having work done to a non contracted phone, I will loose my unlimited data. I said touch my data and I'm gone to verizon...cancel my request. I later called back and explained, they left me alone and updated my phone. Kinda messed up what att can or try to do to your account.

Thanks for the info guys. I just landed in San Diego and walked over to the At&t store near the hotel. They replaced the similar card with no questions asked for free. Nothing changed on my account. The sales Rep said his Infuse has the same freeze with the vibrating problem as well.
You need to go make a full size similar card, or get one from at&t

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!! its around the sim card right hand side gets really hot too
Hey guys.
I was running on the stock deodexed 2.3.3 GB rom and out of nowhere my phone freezes. I disconnect the battery and start it up but now it won't register on the network
It says "searching" on the lockscreen and I have the no signal symbol at the top.
I try to go to my network setting but it says "insert sim card to access network services"
WTF?
The sim card works in all my other phones.
I've reflashed the phone with 2.2, 2.3.4, and 2.3.3 again but nothing
I've even odin'd a couple of modems. Nothing. How is this possible?
Can someone lead me in the right direction to fixing this?
Cheers and thanks!
I'm assuming you're still on t-mobile right?
if you want to stay on a stock rom, it'll be fine for you to follow the GB Starter Pack guide I wrote. The link is in my forum signature.
Check your imei in settings. May be corrupted.

Im having the same issue did everything according to key on this link

Worked perfectly no problems but when i load up the phone No Cell Service. Am i missing something?
If you are using an unlocked phone there is a good chance that you will need to insert your apn's manually using APN Manager from the market.
Check and see if you have an updated sim card. remove the sim card and look at the side with the gold contacts. You should see numbers printed on that side. If you have numbers then you have the new Sim card. If not you have a old Sim card that could cause issues. t mobile will update your card for free if you have an old one. Just bring it to the store.

Hey guys. I found the issue and thought I'd share. Somehow the sim reader got gummed up so I sprayed some electronics cleaner in it and worked excellent.
If anyone ever has this problem just head to your local hobby store and spray it!
My Galaxy S 4G has this problem were out of no where, ill completely lose service. When I go to settings>wireless>mobile networks> it won't let me in to the menu and just shows the message "insert Sim card to access network"
I called Tmobile and had a new Sim card activated and still it will not read. I removed the Sim and placed it in another phone and it functions just fine.
I then flashed my phone from froyo to gingerbread and the problem never occurred again. I then rooted my phone and installed cwm. Im running the ROM octane v2.x... Worked fine for under a week and now its doing it again.
It used to go anywhere from a few mins to maybe 2hrs before it starts to read the Sim again... But right now its been 5hrs and still no network.. Does anyone know what is causing this issue?
Its the sim tray on your phone. Its loose/malfunctioning

Can this be remedied with some solder or do I have to replace the entire tray? And is this even feasible?
Yea it can be fixed. Look up youtube videos on it. Gl!!

Hi, I have a skyrocket and for a while now I get "no sim card" error, even though there is a sim card.
Sometimes it will go a week without doing it, other times 4 times a day or more.
I am trying to figure out if it is hardware or software, the sim card works fine in my old phone.
So far I have did a factory reset, I have tried to go back to the original rogers software but it was giving me some sort of error, but installed slim bean, worked great for a couple of days... then the error popped up.
So now i am thinking it could be the sim card try, and maybe replace that, the parts will take a while to get (the cheap ones from hong kong) i did order it as it was $10... but it will take 5 weeks.
I am wondering if anyone has had this happen to them ?
sorry i meant to put this in Q+ A forum.
I'm pretty sure this happens to everyone at some point, not quite that much but it happens. Happened to me earlier today.
