Do you have a PIN SIM lock on your card ? I had the issue when I put my cousins SIM card in my phone and couldn't unlock it (didn't get the PIN popup at start up). I've put it back in his phone and disabled the SIM lock there and put it back in my phone. After that, the network was found and I got the option in Security to set a SIM lock back (it wasn't there when the card was locked).

Isn't i9020a the at&t model?(correct me if I'm wrong I don't stay in the US). I believe you want the international gsm version i9020t to use outside of the states.

did you insert the sim the right way? it shouldn't show no sim card if it can read the sim even on the wrong/nonsupported network.

Yes I put good sim card and shown the message screen,i joining and this picture of my screen , hoped to understand my problem.

check if any of sim pins is bended

@lostman.it- it that you say was the problem.
Thank you all for comment, bye

This happened to me once before and it was because I inserted the sim the wrong way. There's only one way to insert the sim following the sim symbol near the slot. Worth a try to double check.

This may sound silly, but make sure you have the sim inserted correctly, i.e. correct orientation, seated well, etc.
Also, did you adjust the APN settings? And as was mentioned before, make sure your local network(s) support the same bands the i9020a does.
Btw, thumbs up if you forgot what GB looks like lol.

I believe the version gt-i9023 is unlocked to work worldwide, I think you'll need to unlock your nexus s to work in your country.

Hi!
I also bought a second hand Nexus S and had the same issue!
I noticed that sim reader was damaged! :banghead:
I have to put a little paper piece to force sim reading!
After 1 year of usage, no more problems!

Dual SIM adapter

Anyone found a decent dual SIM adapter that works with the SGS and retains the full 3G and HSDPA network connections? I'm looking for something that can be manually switched between the SIMs without having to turn off the phone.
The only thing I can find is this but it seems very expensive:

Any other suggestions?

I'm just giggling thinking of using one of these in one of verizon's upcoming global phones.... a verizon phone with AT&T and T-mobile sims... omg the monthly expenses
Just got the dual sim adapter from dealextreme
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.37817
It's the Q-Power one, works in 3G for both of my sim in Australia (Optus and Telstra).
I'm using the SIMORE option (was stupid enough to spent the 65EU without checking xda!!!).
The adpter works and does what it's suppose to do. The problem I have is that it doesn't change the APN settings automatically. Now I'm looking for an application that changes APNs based on sim card ID.
Any suggestions?
The other problem I see is the scheduling option using Simore isn't that confortable. It's no possible to set an specific time for switching. You have to say the amount of time in HHMM each card will be avaliable and the settings get messed up if you switch between the cards manually.

Dual-Sim Card
Hi,
only a hint and some information for anyone who is intererested in using a dual-sim-adapter in his Galaxy I9000.
I am using the Hypercard V3 Adapter and it works very well. It workes with Eclair as well as with froyo. The adapter was first used in the SE Xperia X1 (I loved it).
The only little problem I have I descrided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946266
The switch takes nearly 30 seconds until there is radio reception. It took a time to adjust both sim-cards the the adapter, but now it works since many month.
Any Questions? Please send me a message (preferred in german, ohterwise english).
Best regards.

there are already dual sim support in android, there are already two phones available, it sold in the asian market only.
Not that users actually requires dual sim capability, and many of those who uses it are generally company executives and can afford multiple phones~
does this really work ? any youtube footage ???and where you get the adapter ? any extra software required

Do you have a picture of the thing itself and how it looks installed?
And I wonder if both telephone numbers will be available at the same time, or do you need to switch them manually every time?
you have to switch between the sim cards manually, but you can set up a automatically switch all 10, 30min etc
with all dual sim adapter you CAN'T use both sim cards at the same time, because you only have got one antenna
there's a pic (not from me):

Sim card slot broken? *Pics* PLEASE HELP ?

First I apologize for starting a new thread for this, since I did create a new thread earlier today on receiving my phone, but right now I have a problem.
The phone I bought is apparently an M200 and was updated to Stock ICS (according to other members on this board). Well I got off work an hour ago, and went to the T-Mobile store to open a line, but before I did, I wanted to make sure the phone would work, so they inserted an active sim card and the phone just says no sim card installed, or something in those lines. We waited about 5 minutes hoping the phone would recognize the sim card, but it didn't. Then the T-Mobile rep took the sim card out and told me that my sim card slot looks funny.
Here is the pic of the sim card slot.

The T-Mobile rep showed me a Galaxy S2 sim card slot and #2 and #3 had "prongs" but my phone doesn't.
When I tilt the phone to look "inside" the slot I do see the other two, but it looks like it's flat?
Can someone here please help me confirm that is something wrong with my sim card slot or is it software base?
Thank you!
I can only tell you what my i9020a shows, and that's all 3 prongs. I can't say for sure how the m200 is supposed to look, but I assume it would be the same.

The SIM card slot should have 3 pins on top. You might want to check whether Korean SIM cards are different, or you bought a faulty product...
I just opened mine up, the bastard thing about Samsung is the connectors of each different models have different number of pins, so you can't even switch them even if the slot seems to fit, your only chance is to solder a replacement if you know how.
Otherwise it will cost you $80 to replace it with Samsung USA out of warranty. Or buy a broken Nexus S.
Isn't this hardware guaranty (correct English??). Return it to Samsung, or to where you bought your phone!

I just got off the phone with Samsung USA technical support. They said since my phone is an international model, they cannot support/repair it.
This sucks
Do you guys think a i9020A or i9020T sim card slot would be the same as my M200?
Most likely.
Samsung Galaxy S II (SHW-M250S)
I also have a similar - need to replace the sim card tray/slot.
Can someone advise on the best approach? Is there any good online store for this part?

I have a Tmo version and mine appears to be missing the same 3 pins. Wtf? I get the insert SIM message with a T-mo prepaid SIM.
I have M200 and it's the same slot you are talking about, may be its the software problem, cause when i had HTC WFS and i flashed new version of custom rom the problem was as same that no sim card so i'd change my rom and every things work fine..
I have 3 pins at upper side, 'll add some pictures when i get reach my home..
Root and try another Rom, there are official stock roms available in the development thread..

i havent used any, i was checking the status of the locks, im going to wait for my son to come home later and use his virgin sim card to see if it is unlocked, i bought it new from rogers, my thinking is that with a legit sim installed it would show locks as "off"
edit: even with no sim card it shows locks as off, maybe i got an unlocked phone from rogers

link please for the code seller ad ?
and did it work fine ?
worked great, was on seans skyics, but the screen to enter unlock code would not come up w/virgin sim installed. so odin'd rogers stock ics, kept rogers sim card in, went throught setup of phone, restarted phone w/virgins sim and the unlock screen came up, entered the 8 numbers, took a few seconds and voila, it said network unlocked, or something like that, reinstalled skyics from backup, kept virgin sim card in, and still unlocked.
edit: conclusion, if on custom rom and the "enter the code screen" does not come up, you must return to stock to be able to get that screen to come up to enter the unlock code.
HOW TO ENTER UNLOCK CODE:
RETURN TO STOCK ICS, OR GB BUT ICS PREFERRED WITH TUTORIAL HERE [HOWTO] NEWB GUIDES TO: | RESTORE TO STOCK | USE ODIN | INSTALL CWM | ROOT | ics & gb
ONCE STOCK HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND CONFIRMED THAT IT BOOTS AND IS FUNCTIONAL, TURN PHONE OFF.
W/PHONE OFF INSERT NEW CARRIERS SIM CARD
RESTART PHONE, THE UNLOCK SCREEN SHOULD COME UP, ENTER CODE AND WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION.
ONCE CODE HAS BEEN EXCEPTED AND PHONE HAS BOOTED AND CONFIRMED WORKING ON NEW CARRIER YOU CAN PROCEED TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS.
NOTE: MAKE SURE RADIO IS USING/CONFIGURED TO USE THE FREQUENCY FOR THE NEW CARRIER
ITS A PERMANENT UNLOCK EVEN WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN ROMS, STOCK OR CUSTOM
THERE IS NOWAY TO REMOVE CODE, NO FORMATTING PROCEDURES OF INSTALLING AND/OR USING ROMS, EITHER THROUGH ODIN OR RECOVERY(STOCK/CWM/TWRP), WILL REMOVE CODE

I simply told them I was traveling overseas, and that I didn't want to pay for international service. I entered the codes given to me by AT&T (for free) using directions that I had found through Google, and bam! Instant carrier unlocked phone for free

If you've had your SR for 6 months and account is in good standing ATT will provide subsidy unlock code, press them to open a case to request the code from Samsung, you will receive it via email in about a week.
Yes I have had it for about 5 and a half months but by the time I would have been going overseas it would be 6 months, they gave it to me without a hassle. To keep this on topic, tried to input the code and it didn't work...I see you must have a stock tomorrow and I am on alimbean so I am really of no use, sorry

Nano-SIM from iPhone 5 in Galaxy S III

Hi All,
I have a Nano SIM from my iPhone 5 and I was trying to switch from an iPhone 5 to a GS3. I have a Noosy nanoSim adapter to convert it into microSIM. When I insert the SIM, I can't get it to activate. Are there some APN settings I need to change or something? I Know that AT&T has the same problems:

The iPhone sim doesn't work on android phone its not compatible... u can go to a Verizon store and get a free micro sim
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I have the same question. The ICCID on a nano sim and a micro sim are the same length.
both go 89148000000123456789. So I don't think they're incompatible. We're missing something but I'm not sure what the prob is. You might (and I might) try cutting a micro sim down to work in the iphone and then should have no probs.
Hopefully someone will clarify this for both of us.
Edit: Customer service is telling me no.
Edit 2: for Clarity
Found this on a Cnet Article.
I verified this today with my Verizon 4g micro sim. I was able to cut it down to size and did not need to shave anything of of the width. It works perfectly!! We got our demo iPhone 5 in today and I tried right away!

So the best way (so far it seems) is to get a micro and trim to nano.

So you were able to get a micro sim specified for Android, cut it down to nano, and be able to use it in a iPhone 5? Were you able to use that same nano, use a MicroSIM converter, and use it in the GS3? Both were able to be activated on the same SIM?
Sorry, No I have not tried this yet. I'll fix my post above. A user on a CNET article is who is confirming that cutting a micro sim down to a nano and they'll be interchangeable.
I don't have a sim cutter yet.
At worst you can just switch between them by using the MyVerizon Page. Each kind of sim card are re-usable So you can just leave your cards in the phones. They don't expire.

Its a buck fifty with free shipping...how much better can it get?
EDIT: This one is even cheaper!

BTW: they are interchangable...i use this adapter all the time. I actually use a ATT sim in my gs3 and it works, so I cant say if the verizon nano sims are for sure, but I think they are if the ATT ones work.

Okay this is just plain wrong. It does work. Its just a different size. Scissors solve that problem.
Okay. Success.
Sorry I forgot about this for a couple of weeks.... but i have success to report. well atleast partial.
I cut down a Micro Sim to nano size and "activated" My nexus. Then put the cut-down micro in my iPhone and it was activated in a few mins.
So to get this to work. Go to a verizon store. "Activate" your S3 w/ a new sim.
Cut it down and itll work in the iphone. Data, calls, texts. All work.
I havent gotten my adapter yet to put it back into my Nexus. I'll report back when I have.
I'm using my iPhone 5's nano sim in my S3 right now. Just need an adapter to correct the size. Didn't have to call Verizon or anything. The joys of SIMs
Right we've seen on multiple threads about AT&T phones having no problems. But OP and I are trying to swap between the Verizon versions and he hadnt had any luck.
I got my adapter today. I put the cut down sim into my Nexus and got calls and text to work. The adapter was a little tight in the sim tray so I may need to file it just a little and it'll work .... I hope.
Forget everything I said.
The iPhone 5's nano sim is completely compatible.
I just reactivated my 5 w/ a nano sim and then put it in my Nexus. As it was turning on it called *22899 it's own. working fine now. Very Sweet.
I did have to file the sides of the Noosi adapter a little it wasn't sliding in easy.
I was re-reading the posts and saw that fuego3048 said "you don't have to call Verizon customer service." Missed that the first time. Sorry, credit to fuego3048.

im guessing this is only on the dual sim version, as i do not have the simcard manager on my regular edge?

Only on the dual sim version.
I have s7 edge dual sim is it okay that i can use my two sim cards and sd card at the same time? is there will be no problem using them both at the same time?

If you get it right, then yes--you can use both sims and your SD card as well.
BUT, in an operation that requires you to cut your sim card apart and glue it to the back of your SD card, there are no guarantees.
I'm afraid that somebody is going to get their sim/sd card stuck in the slot and break something trying to get it back out.

I am using this combination from last 24 hours and no problem at all. Battery life is slightly altered, but all is fine....

The probability of that thing is not zero. But the pins inside the SIM tray are curved in both side so, this will not create problem....
Great video doctor..!! Surely gonna try this tomorrow...
Only worry... will our fevi quick spoil my 200 gb sd card ??

Can anyone experienced test for single S7 please?
Reader hybrid should be the same, and when we recorded the firmware for the duo sim, it could work?
What a star you are sir!
This is exactly what xda is all about......
I didn't have any Acetone......so I experimented and found the very fast way to remove the plastic of old SIM card......use a kitchen lighter and gently hear the plastic side of the SIM card. It only needs a few seconds and then you can use a craft knife to separate the SIM from the plastic.
Job done and no need to visit A&E with missing finger tips [emoji6]

My question was directed to the question of whether it will work on the classic S7 (not dual sim), and if so, what is required for the firmware....
Dont try it on single sim you might damage your phone, your phone's sim tray IS NOT the same as the dous model, the dous model has the 2 sims or 1 sim 1 sd card written and a space for the second sim is cut for it. Where in the classic single sim no cut on the second slot of sd car for a second sim
Dont attempt or ask someone too,, warranty will not cover you

In my previous experiences phone manufacturers never give something for nothing so I would doubt that the single SIM model would have the required dual SIM contacts and only the SIM tray is different. But until someone doors a tear down of a single SIM model you won't know for sure......

What does it means?
Hi,
just like to ask if there is any way not to glue the sim module to the microsd card permanently? reason is if ever i decide to change microsd card or change my second sim to other network, i can instantly remove and change. Or if ever I want to use again the sim/microsd card to other phone, i can just remove the sim and use it normally.
Please advise. Thanks!

I'm just going to order a new SIM tray and keep for spare. When re inserting the modified tray and dual SIMs it is a bit tight fit, so if the modified SIM is not stuck firmly to the memory card then I don't think is will go in and still be in the same place to make pin contacts. I also cut up my primary SIM and glued it to the MC as it is the one that fits furthest inside the phone and I change my second SIM regularly when I travel. But you can select the SIM that is used as LTE / 3G and the other just reverts back to 2G for choice only use.

Yes you can. Go buy a dual SIM card tray and try it for yourself.
