Sim Card Issue - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone. My partner has a I5800 and since I started to root it, after about 3 months its started this "no sim card inserted" or "sim blocked"
Now... I have changed through 4 ROMs. No one saying any problem with that. Is it the phone? I have checked the card and it is in there safe and sound. Please help.
Thanks

Try using the sim card in another phone. If the sim card doesn't work then it's a problem with the sim card.

Take out the SD card and rub it with pencil eraser, then put it back in the phone and reboot. (Worked for me)

Breathing on the contacts before sticking the SIM into phone worked many times for me. Moisture helps reducing the contact resistance. Sounds like a short term solution, but worth a try.

My Touch 4g not reading sim card at all!!!!!!!

My MyTouch 4g does not read any sim card. I have sim unlocked the phone and s=off. Ive flash all the radios non work! Tried 4 different sims (T-mobile, AT&T,Straight Talk (NOKIA E71), Simple Mobile) all failed. Flashed 5 different roms including the orginal.
Can any one help me????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the sims card sensor readers on the phone by the battery are damaged have u had anything get into yo phone like dust or water

Are you inserting the sim card the right way?
i havent got any water in it. I have to check for dust and yes im intersting it just like the picture on the phone
The first thing I'd go with on something like this is a physical problem.
Is the SIM card seating properly in the little slot? There's that metal bar that goes over it to give the springy connectors something to push against to form a good contact. It's possible that the connectors aren't being pushed into the card enough.
It's worth a shot to push it in with a finger with the battery cover off just to see if you can make a connection. If you get anywhere with that maybe try cutting a playing card up and sliding it in over the SIM to basically make the SIM card a little big and tighter in the slot.
Since different cards aren't working and different ROM's don't fix it it's a fair bet that you're looking at a hardware problem. If it's an electronic problem you're screwed. If it's a "the slot doesn't hold the card tight problem" you have options.
May be too simple, but did you put your SIM card in the wrong way? Haha, don't be offended, because I am not trolling in any way. But this happened to a friend of mine the other day.
I actually joined this site for the same problem but my WiFi and Bluetooth don't work either. Mine is obviously a radio problem but I can't seem to get my phone to flash new radios...

changing replacing sim card slot i727

So i needed to change the module board of SIM Card, got one on ebay, opened the phone and replaced the little board with 1 flex conector.
but NOW when i turn on the phone theres no message of "sim card not found" and theres circled slash on where suposed to be network.
am i missing something or i might just screwd it up?
Open it up again and make sure everything in connected correctly and that nothing is shorted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
ok finally made it.
the thing was that its so damn fragile...o replaced many times the boards in many diferent and sensitive ways...and then one way worked out even though i cannot tell whats the different between the correct position and the other ones that did not recognize the SIM CARD module/board.

I had a similar problem, turned out the replacement tray was bad.
I don't get to say this often but I actually encountered great customer service. I ordered the replacement sim card tray/sdcard holder for a Samsung device on which the sim card reader had been damaged. I received the one piece tray but the sdcard slot was non-functional. I wrote an email pointing out the flaw with no expectations. Got a new part in 2 days. No run around at'all! No 2 hours navigating an automated phone nightmare (Net10/AT&T), just a dang email. I gave em good feedback ratings on their site of course! I don't know if it's allowed but it's so rare to find good folks I feel the need to pimp em.

I just replaced my Sim Card tray. It was working fine.
But for my own safety i re-set the whole phone and re-flashed cm10.1
Phone is working fine. Reading sim, microsd card but sadly i'm stuck on 2g now.
disassembly
I am in having to replace the sim card holder on my skyrocket but I am having trouble finding out how the sim card holder board is attached to the main board,,could someone direct me to some kind of disassembly guide or something
thanks

[Q] Looking for fix for random SD card unmounting (not card-based)

I've been researching this issue and have found a lot of threads about bad/corrupted SD cards randomly unmounting themselves. But the issue my phone seems to have is that the SD card isn't securely seated, and I haven't found much, if any, info on how to fix it.
Basically, my SD card unmounts if I bump my phone the wrong way. More often than not, it happens when I'm putting the battery cover back on. I did some fiddling with it, and once the card is inserted, if I gently pull on the card towards the edge of the phone, it unmounts. If I gently push it back towards the center of the phone, it remounts. I don't think it's an issue with my particular card (SanDisk 32GB Class 4) b/c I've tried two other cards (another SanDisk and an Kingston) and they all do the same thing.
I've tried pushing down on the card slot a bit to try and tighten up the metal sleeve that the card fits into with no luck. I've also tried putting a small piece of tape on top of the card to make it seat more firmly. Neither approach works. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I just got the phone recently and have been very happy with it (MUCH better than my old Droid RAZR). But I take a lot of pictures w/ my phone, so having a sketchy SD card is driving me nuts!

SD unsupported Error

First i have a very bigggg complaint to Samsung. i like samsung phones and using them for a while now but since from galaxy S6 (which by the way is an excellent phone) i have big complain of sim tray!!! like why you made it out of plastic and so fragile? just cannot understand a expensive phone with metal and glass and samsung save money by making plastic sim trays? wow... like now thats cost cutting. Samsung please grow and make durable aluminum sin trays.. agree?
now come to the point i broke my galaxy S7 sim tray and got another one from local dealer ( as getting genuine is rather impossible from where i am) and everything works fine upto SIM card, but as i put my SD card i got error that unsupported SD card please set up and formate. i said ohh ok.. lets do it. phone start formatting it and jump to 20% start and after few seconds i got error message. (image attached) as partition error something. But Cards ( as i tried multiple cards to check) are perfectly fine in other devices, computers). format with Ex-fat, FAT32.. but same error. any solution please. tray issue or its general S7 problem. but Sim working very fine in new tray.
any help will be highly appreciated
i have tried stock nougat, custom roms but same issue.
Current OS- stock Marshmallow with CF-auto root (battery is horrible in Nougat)
Seems pretty obvious if the card works in other devices that the problem is the S7 / Tray that you broke
But sim is working seem half tray is ok and upper half broken?

Its a Compatibility Issue. The Firmware doesn't support the SD card.

i dont think so. framework is stock and stock support SD cards by default. may be some other issue.

Fix Sim Card Issue

Maybe it has come up before, but I wanted to create a quick thread about this issue, because it has seriously began to getting on my nerves the last couple of weeks.
In the beginning when my phone didn't detect the sim card(s) I simply had to reboot.After that I had to remove the sim card manually and insert them back into the slot.At some point they weren't detected at all.
I searched in the Lenovo forum and found this thread:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...lus-SIM-card-randomly-disappears/td-p/3543823
For now I've cut out a tiny piece of paper and put it between the sim card and the top side of the slot, rebooted and voila.
My both cards were detected.
I've ordered two adapter, because the method with the paper is provisional at best and hopefully it will solve this until I get a replacement for the cards or buy a new phone.
With best regards
