[Q] Network or SIM card error. - T-Mobile LG G2x

If I flash any custom ROM that is not built on the stock/ota my phone appears to have some problems with the SIM card.
Specifically, if I go into settings->call settings->advanced it gives an error reading "Network or SIM card error." then it kicks me back to call settings, preventing me from making any changes.
This is a problem because I need to change the "my phone number" setting. If I go to settings->about phone->status it shows "unknown" under "my phone number" which in turn causes the phone to not associate my own contact entry with the phone, and it also causes problems for checking voicemail.
Strangely enough, I am still able to make phone calls, sent sms/mms, and connect to mobile data with no problem, so obviously the SIM card is working and is being read by the phone.
I would suspect that it is a problem with the SIM card, but if I flash back to stock, the problem goes away.
Any ideas anyone?

That happens with me also, running cm7 rom. But that`s not really an issue because there are not important settings over there.If you change any settings before the message pops up , settings will be saved after you exit the menu. Nothing to worry about- your phone and sim are fine:good:

[Q] Stock ROM: "network or sim card error" when enabling Incoming Calls when Roaming

[Q] Stock ROM: "network or sim card error" when enabling Incoming Calls when Roaming
No matter what I try to set in the "call barring settings" menu, I get a "network or sim card error". Does anyone know how to get this working? I am not even sure what the password is, but I have tried 0000 1111, 2222, etc, and 1234, 0123.
Help!!! The only thing left for me to try is a factory reset, and if I'm going to go through that pain, I might as well do it with a newer model phone.

reset network settings worked for me
I know this thread is very old, but I've recently run into the same issue and found a solution. In the settings, there is an option for "Reset Network Settings". This will remove all your wifi networks and any downloaded access point settings, but fixed the issue for me. Hope this helps any future solution seekers!

Disable/Hide "Sim not provisioned mm#2"

I would like to use my old At&t Galaxy S3 phone like a tablet, though keep my old deactivated sim card in it. Of course with that comes the same popup message after every reboot. Does anyone know how I can disable the popup message "Sim not provisioned mm#2"? The phone is rooted.
Do I need to edit the build.prop like you would with the "No Sim card in the phone" message?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Did you ever find the fix for this? I also want to do the exact same thing.
I found this fix, that seems to work:
1. Turn on airplane mode. (Settings > More > Airplane mode to turn of cellular connection)
2. Then turn wifi, Bluetooth etc back on.
Thanks

SIM Card Inserted Message Keeps Appearing

My phone is the HTC One M9 with Android 7.0 but ever since I switched to a Virgin Mobile sim card I get the following reoccurring message:
SIM Card Inserted
Tap to complete setup.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After tapping on that message the "Select your carrier" screen appears but no carriers are listed. Once I back out of that screen the “SIM Card Inserted” alert disappears for a while before coming back again.
If I put in my O2 sim card then the “SIM Card Inserted” appears but the “Select your carrier” screen contains options e.g. O2 Pay as you Go which I select and the SIM Card Inserted disappears and doesn’t appear again.
One thing that might be related is that I don't get any service while in my flat so that could be triggering the "SIM Card Inserted" message. Even if I go into the "Select your carrier" screen with a full signal no carriers appear. In the meantime I can confirm that my phone recognises that I am using Virgin:
Settings > About > Network > Operator name > Virgin
Does anyone know what might be triggering this message and how to stop it?

Possible call fix for Sprint and other devices running P

I'm on Sprint and was never able to make or receive calls regardless of Network settings in the easily accessible options menu after flashing the P Preview.
The following fixed my issue. You can access this menu without downloading an app but I forget how so it's easier to just download the free app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
I had my network mode set to LTE/CDMA when first using this app, and somewhere in the middle I changed it to CDMA but I'm not sure how much that impacted the actual fix.
These were my steps. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause to your device as I'm not sure if messing with these settings is foolproof or not.
First, opened previously linked app "Force LTE" then under "Set Preferred Network Type" I changed to CDMA only. Enabled/disabled airplane mode. This seemed to do nothing as LTE was still showing in statusbar.
I then chose CDMA auto (PRL), airplane mode on/off, didn't seem to do much either. LTE still showed in statusbar and couldn't make calls. Also "Voice Network Type" showed "Emergency Calls only" inside the app.
I then chose the 3 dot menu and chose "select radio band". I changed that to United States, without resolving problem. Then selected "Cellular 800" and this may have solved the problem, but I continued on and selected PCS, fiddled with some settings in Phones settings menu. Was finally able to receive calls and my signal indicator showed 3G. In app Voice Network Type was listed as 1xRtt. I decided to select radio band once more and chose Class 10.
Calls were still functioning fine. So I went into Main settings menu and changed mobile network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA. LTE kicked in and calls still work!
Again, these settings may only work for Sprint hence the PCS Network option, and I believe Sprint may utilize the 800mhz frequency. The app might show you different options depending on your carrier. I don't know.
Anyway, fully functioning! Woohoo!!
Android P cannot make calls
I found an easier way
1. Remove your sim card from your phone, and turn off phone
2. Insert a different Sim from anywhere and restart the phone.
3. Try using the phone to make calls
4. Turn off the phone and remove the Sim card
5. Insert the main sim card( your original Sim card) and restart your phone
6. After start allow the phone to automatically reconfigure your network
This method worked for me. Hope it helps someone out there
