My girlfriend's fone had the screen replaced today and i picked it up and bought it home, we've put the sim card back in but its not showing any service. Its recognised the card and the sim contacts but won't connect to the network and if I search for networks in settings it just says error searching
Any ideas? Have they left something unplugged inside etc?

They could very easily have left something disconnected, but I'm not sure exactly what it would be. My DS is currently apart while I wait for a new LCD screen and it is in a load of parts. Although it is quite complicated, the only real culprit would be the little pop-on aerial cable that runs from the main board down to the aerial connector board.
Your best bet is to take it back to the shop (with your SIM card) and ask them to fix whatever they've screwed up for you. Taking it apart is unlikely to be a good idea if you needed to take it to a shop to get it fixed in the first place.
Ah then I'll take it back to them tomorrow! Thanks!
I just wanted to know what it would be if i take it back

Hello! Tonight I replaced the touch screen digitizer in my phone because I had badly cracked my last one. The new touch screen works and the phone is fully functional now with the exemption that the phone now says it has no bars and it doesn't appear to be reading my sim card now.
Can anybody give me advice or insight into anything I might've done wrong re-adssembling the phone ?? Any suggestions for getting it working?? Im opening it up and re-connecting everything to make sure none of the connections were loose and thats not causing the problem. Also, using a different sim card did not help.
Edit: I reconnected the connectors on the motherboard and sim reader and it still is not getting service. I guess Ill continue to fiddle with it until somebody throws some better suggestions at me.
Another edit: You guys can delete this I fixed it. I had folder this little connector attached to a wire under the motherboard...haha.
make sure all the ribbons are connected there is quite a few to push down and m,ake sure there seated properly
Up until this afternoon I have been using my One X without issue running CleanROM 4.5. I took my phone out of my pocket and suddenly I got an error saying the SIM card is no longer detected. I immediately turned on airplane mode and then turned it off again, advice I remember reading from other people with similar issues, however it didn't fix the problem. Thinking it was possibly a contact error, I took the SIM out and put a piece of tape on the back and reinserted it, to no avail. I tried adding another piece of tape to make sure; again, nothing. I backed up everything and wiped the phone, and installed RebelMOD to see if it was potentially an OS issue; unfortunately, the different ROM makes no difference.
Am I SOL here on a software-related fix? Is it possible the SIM slot just went bad all of a sudden? I tried another SIM card from my work phone but it was not detected either, while the SIM from my phone was detected in my work phone. All of this points to a hardware issue, but I'm wondering where it came from and why it happened so suddenly, as well as what my options are.
Thanks in advance!
same problem

I'm having the same problem here, I had the phone for like 2 month and last week all in a sudden
no more reception as the phone doesn't detect the sim card anymore. The worst came after, I tried to open my sim tray with that HTC pin provided with the phone,and instead of opening it damaged the metal slot and couldn't get my sim card out. So now I m without phone as I had so bring back to JB Hifi and they had to send it over east for repair as the warranty goes through Fone biz and told me I have to wait 2 weeks for it to get repaired and sent back. Has anyone been throught that?
Thanks
Sudden SIM Destruction!!
I had that same thing happen, i was playing a game and all the sudden i heard a pop and no sim message appeared! My warranty wont cover because i have a tiny hairline crack on my screen! can anyone please help!
A pop is bad. Probably not easily repaired. For the others you could try a piece of tape on the sim give it a tighter fit up against the contact in the phone or purchase a new sim tray

I went to sleep Thursday night and the phone was working fine and had about 75% charge. Next day the battery was dead (and cold, so if it did that "burn up the battery thing" then it finished up many hours ago). When I managed to charge it up enough so that it would boot, it said that there was no SIM card installed. I was using a 5 month old Straight Talk Mobile SIM. I am NOT rooted and running the V21y release as pushed by LG.
I pulled the SIM and put my old T-Mobile SIM in. Still says "no SIM card", the exact same message as when I boot it up with no card at all. I have checked the IMEI and it looks correct (it's not all zeroes).
I've put my Straight Talk Mobile SIM into an old phone (Motozine ZN5) and it works; it even delivered a text message sent during the dead time. After doing that, I put the Straight Talk SIM back into my G2X and it still says No SIM card.
I have ordered a new battery (a $5 cheap one from Amazone) in the hopes that it will magically fix some problems, as folks have vaguely reported. I doubt it will fix my problem but, hey, $5 and we'll make sure.
I have done a factory reset (just the internal memory) and it did not fix the problem. I'm doing a restore right now but I don't hold out much hope. Does anyone have any other ideas? At this point I'm perfectly happy to root the thing or do anything to it, since it's not very useful if it won't connect to a network.
The only out of the ordinary thing that happened was that on Wednesday, I used the phone for turn-by-turn walking directions via Google Maps, with the GPS turned on. The GPS wasn't all that accurate but it managed to help me find the bus stop I was looking for. I had GPS on for maybe 20 minutes. At that time I had WiFi off (I think) and 4G on.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm also prepared for it to be "time to get a new phone"; my IMEI starts with 0125 so it's been a rocky ride.
No idea. Bump for curiosity. Hope u get it worked out.

Unfortunately jackyl has no idea.
Only other idea jackyl would have after a reset is plugging into PC, see if APX mode works to see if it didn't die.
You can have a dead battery and the phone should power up off the charger still.

Check the pins in the SIM card slot to see if one or more have broken off.

Haha jackyl in 3rd person.
Edit (in an attempt to be helpful rather than not): maybe give the sim a good wiggle to make sure it's seated properly? And yeah, checking the pins is also good. You know the sim works, but I'm wondering if the connection went bad on the board somehow. On a stock rom, I can't imagine the battery getting burnt up. I guess it's possible, and maybe that fried a component of the sim reader?

The phone appears to be fine, other than that it won't see any SIM cards. I've had each of my 3 cards in and out of it many times. All the pins look fresh and undamaged. (The take it out, blow on it, put it back in trick was the first thing I tried.)
I haven't done APX mode but my backup software (MobileGo) uses USB debugging mode to backup and restore. It was able to see the device and do a restore... hopefully that's similar?
It's possible that there was an overheat and it melted something I can't see inside the device. This is FAR from the first time I've had an overheat, though I would not think this one could be exceptionally bad since it wasn't plugged into anything at the time. It was just sitting on the desk.
Should I try opening the case and taking a look inside? I've never done that.
A symptom I forgot in my first post: it is now losing its date and time whenever I remove the battery, even just for a few seconds. (It believes it is December 31, 2006 at 7pm.) I do not remember it doing that before, even when I've booted it up without a SIM, though the last time I pulled the SIM was 5 months ago when I started with Straight Talk.

If you have had multiple overheats on a stock rom I would tend to think you have bad hardware. Can you get replacement phones on straight talk?.
As far as the date and time thing,with the battery pull that will happen. Its a symptom of pulling the battery while the phone is on. That's just a hypothesis though. I have no liknks to prove it.

This forum is for G2x which is entirely different from G2.
Same here! Sony Xperia C4 E5333
I tried everything! Factory reset; Xperia Companion that didn't work and kept crashing; I managed to fix that by accident once,
but I can't reproduce the fix

I changed my battery in my Nexus 5 today and I thought everything went smoothly until I booted up and had no service. Does anyone have any experience with this problem or have a solution?
I have already flashed back to factory, removed and inserted my sim card, and tried putting my old battery back in. I didn't remove any antenna cables either (the black and white ones on the sides of the battery).
I googled and ran into this thread, but I'm not sure if the OP ever fixed his problem, and seems to have gone inactive since the post.

You probably forgot connect antenna, this is similar issue https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/199531/No+HSPA++since+teardown

Thanks for the reply. I made sure everything was connected even though I didn't touch the antenna cables when replacing the battery. I'm trying to figure out what it possibly could be.
Yeah something isn't connected properly
I made sure everything was connected properly. I only removed the battery cable and the ribbon cable next to it to replace the battery. I'm really wondering what it could be. The black and grey antenna cables seem to be properly and snuggly connected. Is there something else on the phone that can effect cell service?
The phone reads that a sim is inserted and can read the phone number off of it, but cannot draw cell service for some reason.
Hey guys. So the LCD went out on my 3a a while back. I bought the parts and replaced it myself (I've done these before so I wasn't lost). I ended up replacing my battery, loud speaker, fingerprint scanner and a couple other parts as well, because why not? Also replaced both antenna cables (white and black). Anyway, after getting everything all put back together, I installed my SIM card and it recognizes there's a SIM installed, but signal never comes in. No cell signal or internet. Any ideas on a cause or a fix? I triple checked everything before setting the screen in the adhesive and everything was connected correctly. Thanks in advance!
Silly question but did you try to restart the phone?
Yesterday I had an accident and my phone slipped from my pocket a screen/glass got broken :/
Can you tell where did you bought the screen and is it the same quality as original one? Thanks in advance.
I've restarted, flashed back to a previous update, taken the latest updates. You name it. I've tried everything that I know to try. The phone recognized that there's a Sim card installed but just won't pick up signal
