Hi I have a LG optimus one (p509)
I was puttin in my micro sim adapter and it didn't fit properly. so I jammed it in,
Phone worked fine.
Then when I tried to take it out, three 3 of the four pins got caught in it, the sim wouldn't come out.
So I pulled really hard and now three of the four pins are sticking up.
So no sim cards (not even a regular full size sim card) would go through, so I thought maybe I could force the sim card down and it would work.
So I did that, now when I tried to remove it, it got caught again, so i took a screw driver and took off the thing that keeps the sim card in the slot.
(the metal piece )
Now half of the sim card slot is attached to the motherboard, and the other half is out.
So what do i do?
Can I just soder it back on and it will work?
--
My phone still boots up and is useable (just no service of course).
better have a technician repair it. i used to have a samsung (old model) the simcard is too loose so i soldered the sim pins (at phone) at yes!!! it failed.

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy S I9000M (Canadian version, but pretty much same as I9000) all of a certain won't recognize the SIM card.
I've read pretty much every post here and on google wrt SIM card not being recognized, tried factory reset, flashed many different ROMs/modems and no luck.
I'm suspicious that the SIM card slot is damaged, as other SIM cards were also not recognized by the phone. Its possible, since I use a micro SIM card adaptor to fit in a micro SIM card into the regular sized slot.
Before I take it to a store, I'd like to ask one of you kind souls to compare the pic of my SIM card slot to your phone and see if there is a gold pin in the middle thats missing on my phone. I see 5 gold pins with no gold pin in the middle at the top of the slot -- should there be one there? (i.e. should there be six pins?)
Thank you so much in advance. I've spend over a week on this so far.
Just to update in case anyone else had the same question:
Yes, there was a pin missing, and the whole SIM card tray had to be replaced.
I just got this phone today unlocked from tmobile and inserted my custom-cut nano sim into the nano to micro adapter and inserted it into the phone. Everything was fine for a while but i started noticing my data and signal was cutting in and out by itself when the screen was off maybe for 3 minutes or longer. This is a significant problem as you can imagine. I checked every single setting i could and nothing would make it do so. Any advice or suggestions? Im using a straight talk att micro sim card that i had cut down to fit my i5S but came back to android and used a noosy sim adapter. Maybe its the fact that the card is custom cut (so it already doesnt fit the adapter like its supposed to)? I really need help here. Yes i have the proper apn settings and im fully stock.

I had a broke screen, I replaced it but now my nexus 5 has no cell signal. It knows there is a sim card in there but says no network is available. My sim works in other phones and other sims do the same in the nexus 5. I took the cover off the sim card slot and the pins look straight and no damage. I bought new antenna cables in hopes that was all it was but same result. I also did a fresh image flash but that didnt help. Wifi, BT and GPS all work.
Any other options?
How's the antenna wire, connected properly?
I bought two new ones (white and black) and it didn't help/change anything
nothing?
The pictures don't work

The black wire on right side is not connected to the mobo I bet. I just went through 2 months of flashing, reflashing, trying to figure it out, when you pry open side near volume rocker the cable gets out of place and it is enough to mess signal up
Hi, I had one plus one updated and I decided to flash LineageOS to it.
after I did it I got an error that sim not found , after searching in google I decided to go back to stock ROM. (I followed this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541)
Now I'm still getting the error SIM not found.
I can see my IMEI.
I have the latest version(no updates)
I looked in FAQ and did a search in google ' didn't found solution.
it worked for a few minutes with LINEAGEOS but then stopped suddenly
my SIM works fine in other phones
Happened to me as well. Sim would work fine on other phones but not on my OPO.
Take out your SIM and place a piece of paper on top of it before placing it in SIM card tray. Insert and reboot.
Solved the problem for me. :good:

works. thanks.
Happened to me and to a friend before and i can confirm that it works. It all started when the nano sim adapter got stuck juuust a little bit in the sim tray, so after removing it i was unable to get the sim to work , so i tried the method with ductape, and it worked, and one day i dissassembled the phone to change the camera and i find out that the some of the pins in the sim tray got cut and became shorter so they couldn't reach the sim card preperly, and adding the ductape would push the sim card to it so it can make a proper contact, but i found it ashaming to put so thing and fragile pins like that because i can assure you that i didn't pull or force the sim adapter, but i was just shaking the phone so it can fall.
So, I picked up a cheap Tab 2 3g 7". Everything seems to work fine other than it refuses to understand sim cards!
When I put a sim in with it on, it does the "you must restart", but after a restart it still says no sim. Take the sim out, it tells me to restart...
I discovered if I just push a sim adapter in the slot it does the same, I think there's a microswitch that just tells the thing whether or not there's something physically in the slot.
Tried with three different sims, all working in my phone.
I was wondering - This tablet takes the old mini sim. Although the active pins seem to be the same between those and nano, could the Samsung be looking for continuity or something between the usually unused pins? Or perhaps some other electrical compatibility issue? The tablet's in pretty good condition, the slot feels fine, so I don't want to just assume this is a hardware issue.
