Hey all,
having a huge issue
I am in Canada for work and havent had a problem before, usually i turn off mobile network just before the US canada boarder and will roam and only use my phone to text. Well I did the same thing and turned it off while it was using GPS which i have done before as well, but after i then realized the phone get saying it was "refreshing SIM card" and it would not pick up a signal. I tried reflashing, wiping, different rom and kernel, still nothing. I am wondering if my SIM took a crap or if there is something i am missing. Can anyone help?

So I've been experiencing intermintent connectivity, "no sim card error" and extremely slow speeds. This is my second gs3 ("Updated" sticker), and I have not rooted or flashed the device.
What options do I have? Should I get replaced again?

I get the same error. I called Verizon to report the problem and they replaced my SIM only for the error to reappear hours later. I would try replacing your SIM, wiping your device, and calling Verizon to report the problem. I've google'd this issue and it seems like a fairly decent amount of people are experiencing this problem. It may have something to do with the area in which you're experiencing this problem, but that is only a guess.

I got this once. I restarted the phone and it went away and hasn't come back yet. Worth a shot at least.
I've had this same problem. Replaced both phone and sim card and nothing helps. I believe whatever is causing this is the same thing causing the notification asking to unlock the sim card on some aosp roms. It seems to only happen in certain locations which leads me to believe that it has something to do with the phone communicating with certain towers or trying to connect in certain specific situations. Unfortunately both verizon and samsung are ignoring the issue and I don't believe it is quite common enough for any developers here to try to fix it. So, I would suggest switching phones if it's not something you think you can live with.
this happened to me last night, I went to a concert in a rural area, the phone was working great until I got to the parking lot, then I had no sms/voice, 4G worked great though.
I am assuming we will never receive a fix for this?
I also had "no sim" errors a few times while using CM10, but nothing like last night, my phone was useless the entire time I was there.
Then as I drove away it magically started working again.
This morning I put down my phone for about a half hour and when i came back to it, i had no service at all. So i reset the phone thinking it would work. Nothing happened. Checked APN settings and nothing worked. I even reset my phone numerous times and nothing worked. I'm not quite sure whats going on but i cant find a fix. I have a Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 on Metro PCS network. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! :good:
Did you try using the sim card in another phone?
Same here, this just happened randomly. Any ideas?

Are you using CM or any other custom rom? If you do, than this is a problem, if you don't it is a SIM card or your provider problem.
So just randomly yesterday the mobile data on my Honor 6x just cut out. I am just getting the service signal bars, no 3G, 4G icon. I've tried resetting APN and formatting the phone back to original spec, but I still have the same problem. I also ejected the SIM and reset it just for a shot, but nothing.
I am using a T-Mobile MVNO called TAG Mobile if it makes a difference. I can make calls and text fine, and wifi works as well. Just the mobile data acts like I have it turned off. I've checked to make sure all toggles are switched on for 4G but to no avail.
Oh and I am running Nougat 7.0 emui 5. I've been using it for a couple months with no issues till now.
Can you try another SIM card?! Just to know if the issue is from the phone
I don't have one available right now, but I will try to get a replacement SIM sent out to me. I don't really have anybody near that would let me borrow their SIM either.
Ok, once you do it, let me know the results
Weird, the network came back up randomly. Didn't even need to try a different SIM card. Thanks

So me and my friend swapped our Ones because mine had a broken aux port and his was fine, but his casing is pretty battered. So my phone which is now his, its been fine for a few weeks but a few days ago, the network has been playing up. He cannot make calls, but can send texts. But, in network settings, no networks appear when you go to select one. The APN settings are correct, signal is a bit hit and miss, sometimes its there, and sometimes its there but cannot connect to the internet. WiFi works fine. I also tried swapping SIM cards and the same issues were happening with my SIM or his SIM.
It was running Sultan's CM13 ROM with the "firmware_fixed" firmware/radio. I thought maybe something had gone wrong so I then flashed Sultan's Lineage OS and it is still having the same problems. I've tried a full wipe and factory reset, no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? or could it be a hardware issue?
Thanks,

I've tried flashing the idprophecy's c1_11_00006 firmware , the stock 0241 modem and also the firmware_fixed one. All of them are doing the same thing, the main issue is that I get an error while searching for networks. I can call my network operator's topup number but people cannot call me, it either cannot connect or goes to voicemail.

My friend is on EE and I am on Three. Both are different networks, and with both sims, it does the same thing, It cannot find the network. I have tried both sims in the other OnePlus One and it detects the networks with no problem.
I guess the next step would be going back to full stock and see if that works. If that is a no go, I can only assume its a hardware issue
Hi again,
I have tried again to fix this phone but I think I have exhausted all software options. I fastboot flashed all the original stock files, completely went back to stock ROM and the same issues are there. It gets signal, and it says that mobile data is working, but doesn't actually connect if i open the play store etc. I managed to get a call to work for about 5 minutes before the call ended on this phone, but was still going on the other phone which called it. It does allow calls sometimes but they drop out, other times it wont dial at all.
At this point, I can only assume there is some antenna damage or something similar? I did a quick google and worked out that the antenna is on the daughter board on the bottom of the phone, and there is also an antenna wire also. Would it be worth it to buy these replacement parts and see if this would fix the issue?
Thanks

You only need the network antenna,I suppose,but is there any recent activity that could damage hardware in your device?

Its my friends phone now, we traded. And he said he hasn't dropped it or anything like that. But judging how battered the phone is that he traded me, he might have damaged it and not realized. It had been working fine for me in the 2+ years I had the phone. And after the trade, the phone worked fine for him for a few weeks. Its very weird. I've tried my SIM and his SIM in the phone, both sims work fine in my phone but not his.

I see,so if you believe that there could be a hardware damage,you can go with the network antenna and see if it fares.
Essentially, my phone started reading "No service" even though I am at home where I normally get full bars. I chalked it up to a Visible issue, but the problem persisted even after several days and multiple restarts, so I put the SIM in my iPhone and it works great...
I then put a MInt Mobile SIM in the G7 Power and again "No service" but the SIM is detected because when one is not inserted it says No SIM but that goes away when I insert one, and I can read the ICCID in About Phone.
I tried a factory reset and even reflashed the most recent stock firmware using the the LMSA tool and no dice. Huge issue and don't even know why considering that my phone has always been stock. Could I actually be dealing with a hardware issue?

It looks like your G7 power is locked ....so " No service" as expected...
If it is unlocked , using manually network searching to see if it sees any network around you....
Or type "*#06" , if it still has IMEI.....

I don't think my phone is locked, as it was working fine on Visible for multiple weeks. Also, it's the Amazon edition and those are SIM unlocked. Do you mean some other type of lock?
Manually searching for a network results in it endlessly search for a network but never finding/listing any. Yes, *#06# results in the IMEI, MEID (HEX and DEC), and serial number being displayed.
I honestly think it's a hardware issue because I did flash the stock firmware using LMSA tool and that didn't help, but I do find that very hard to believe so I'm wondering if anyone has any other suggestions...

I used Visible for about a year,
I stopped getting a signal at home, no network connection.
Figured out that I could get a signal in some other areas if I drove around.
Visible uses Verizon network and is owned by Verizon.
I had used Verizon for almost 20 years before switching so I have a good idea where it should work.
I suspect that Verizon has changed some frequencies from 4g to 5g or something.
I contacted Visible several times even got a new sim but just couldn't get a dependable connection.
So I switched to Pure Talk USA a AT&T mvno.
My issue seems a little different than yours but it could be related.

in the same boat currently with my g7 except i have service and use Verizon, but its extremely inconsistent. I also think its a hardware issue, but it only happened after I flashed a custom rom (Resurrection Remix). I don't think it's the custom rom though, as I went back to stock entirely and still the same issue. Haven't even owned my phone for over a year and its doing this.

I used LMSA to flash the latest stock firmware package: OCEAN_AMZ_QPO30.85_23_cid50_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
While I've flashed custom ROMs on tens of phones in the past, this is an Amazon version of the phone with a locked bootloader so it's always been stock.

This is very interesting, but I actually noticed this issue when I was about 35 miles from home, and persisted throughout my trip home - so I don't think that's the problem for me. I appreciate your response though!

I'm still using Visible, but on an old iPhone 6s Plus. I have a Mint Mobile SIM in the G7 Power for now - also says "No service" though I also have a perpetual unread voicemail notification with this Mint SIM inserted.

same here, it only stopped working after I flashed my third custom rom, I haven't been able to find a fix and I've dealt with this issue for around a month and it only gets worse. I hope it isn't hardware for you or me though.

I'm having a similar problem. I'm on the Verizon network. I get a "Mobile network is not available" message. I was running LineageOS 17, then switched to Resurrection Remix 8. I have the same problem with both ROMs. I have been trying to narrow down whether or not this is a hardware issue or software issue or a verizon blocking issue.
