It most likely is caused from a bad Sim card. Try putting in a different Sim card and see if the error still pop up. If no error then you know what the issue is.
If the issue still persist then the next step would be getting it replaced because more than likely it's a bad Sim tray.

No one in your household has a Sim card you can use? Does the error happen quite often or does it pop up once in a blue? What you can also try is removing the Sim and then inserting it back in. Maybe the Sim tray isn't flush.

beware...they charge $10 for a sim card. I would just ask a friend that has a GSM carrier first.

They did in the two stores I went to. (One on vacation in NY and one in CA) Unless you buy a new phone from them, they seem to want to charge you for it. Yeah you could just cut a regular one. Be careful though, you don't want to get it stuck in there.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
for a long time i kept hearing people say you cant use the same phone on verizon and att networks, because verizon uses cdma and att uses gsm, well i just exactly that, the only thing stopping me for being able to use verizons network is the fact i dont have a plan with them, other than that i receive signal and everything
More info plz
The Infuse will not work on verizon network!!! You may have bars but if that sim was activated the phone will not work.

Yeah, but only for LTE because that technology uses gsm. The infuse will not work on verizon no matter how you attempt to unlock it or which SIM you put in it. Walk into your nearest verizon retailer and they will laugh you out the door.
All verizon phones must support cdma, even the LTE phones that have a SIM still have cdma support. The infuse has neither LTE or cdma.

not completely, i had already planned that if i got it work and everything i'd use wifi calling and texting anyways, though it may seem pointless, this is just me trying to make something work that i've been told wouldnt my whole life, so yes it all is pretty pointless to everyone but myself
So even with an unlocked phone if I went to the USA on vacation what type of sim card should i get going to NH in July for NASCAR

Signal loss (100%) and phone thinks it is not charging at the same time

Hey guys,
I love my nexus 5 and I have it since it launched.
But, since today, it has been acting weird.
Say I come out of a fresh reboot. It will work well for like 5 minutes, then it will lose connection to the phone carrier and say it is not charging. It will stay like that until I reboot the phone.
I was using 4.4.2 first, with xposed and some modules. The I thought I could just wipe it and it would work, which had no effect. After that, I tried installing the new cyanogenmod 11S port for the nexus 5, same issue.
Now I flashed the stock 4.4.4 rom from android oficial website, still no luck.
What should I do? I have no use for a phone like this!
Thank you guys!
I've tried flashing the radio zip for the 4.4.4 and it still the same... :/
I am getting desperate now... might need to buy another phone, which, ofc, I really did not want to do.
Which carrier? That is weird.

I live in Brazil, the carrier is VIVO.
Wierd, right?
The only guess I have now is a defective sim card, but that would not explain why it thinks it is not recharging.
At least, the recharge problem seems to be not much of a problem, since it still recharges now even saying it is not...
Is it in LTE only mode? Bad phone?

I actually did not know there is an LTE only mode.
How do I check for that?
It was set to 4G preferable, but there was no such thing as exclusive option, so I am confused.

Well, I am still with no signal at all.
Whenever I can, I will pay a visit to one of the carrier's shop and try a new sim card.
Let's hope it works!

Here's the email.. I took it to a repair shop near me and they told me there were a couple tiny components missing off the board and that they didn't have the parts.. So I sent it to lg and they gave me this, so guess they discovered the same thing and fixed it..

You can buy the part for a few bucks. For $72, you can buy a new screen and logic board. Actually scratch that, where I'm from they are selling a brand new 16gb nexus 5 for $75 in pc gift cards at the mobile shop in my local superstore

The first thing I noticed after the update was improved fingerprint recognition. I've never had issues with my thumbs not reading, but it seemed my index fingers had to be perfectly aligned in order to unlock my phone. Now they work at off angles and much quicker.
I also promptly froze the Gear VR apps since I don't want to risk battery hits from something I won't use.
Anyone use stock messaging? I'm curious if the awful delay when trying to send a message is gone.
Just a question. With the app optimization do we still need greenery? Just wondering.

Weird thing I noticed was when when I factory reset after I took the update factory recovery was saying something about dfverify tree or something like that.
Interesting; I just had my Note5 unlocked and with my AT&T SIM in, I was able to download and install the update OTA.
Happy to see all known Stagefright vulnerabilities are now addressed.

SIM cards are used to determine OTAs for Nexus devices. But you are correct that they typically don't matter for other OEMs because each carrier gets a different model number assigned to their hardware variant.

Greenify? I'm wondering the same.
Wireless charging is being a lot more picky about where I place my phone on the pad after the update. I have to set it down a bit higher on the phone rather than centered like usual.

thats upsetting
i was having this problem prior to the update, was hoping for a fix
Samsung wireless charger is supper picky, third party ones, not so much
I'm already noticing improved battery life.
Unplugged for 3.5 hours, and in the marginal LTE/H area that I am for work, I would be down 20% or more with light usage. As of now, I'm at 89%.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with Text Messages? I'm using the stock messaging app (after I started having issues with EvolveSMS). I'll get the same text messages from someone 5 to 7 times, kind of getting annoying when my S2 vibrates and get's blown up with notifications.

Constant refreshing

So I am on my 2nd S8 plus (first one was swapped because of dead pixel). The issue I seem to keep having is that apps auto refresh constantly. Not all apps but most do.
Let me explain. I'll be in chrome reading an article then all of a sudden it refreshed and reloads the page sending it to the top.
I'll be in the IGN app and same thing only it will kick me back to the home screen.
On Facebook, I'll be 6,7 post down then back to the top.
The weirdest one is YouTube. I'll be watching a video then the image will go black for 2-3 seconds then re scale the video from regular to full screen to regular. The video will NOT restart and the audio will stay the same, it's just the image will go black. But if there is a logo on the bottom right hand side of the video, that never disappears.
I have restarted the device, reset to factory, wiped cahce and still keeps happening.
And it's randomly, some times I won't have an issue, other times I will. Can't figure out what it is. Anyone else have this issue?
Could it be my SD card? Currently no apps on SD but on my last phone apps where on SD.

Might be SD card. Ordered a new one to see if that solves it. I took the SD card out for 30 minutes and didn't notice any issues. But need to test longer.

Sounds like the horrible memory management on the S8+ is giving your grief. Unfortunately, if that is the cause, there is no fix for it.

I'm on my 2nd one too and still having the issue. But I'd don't start right away. Maybe a week or 2 after I got the new phone. I also did a clean install and didn't restore anything. That's why I think it could be the memory card.

Are you rooted because that app only seems to work on root?
I just stated having the smame issue since Jan 2 2018 with my LG G6. Last system update was Dec 9 and most recent app was Whatsapp. I did move a bunch of photos to my SD card in albums recently. Ill take it out and see what happens.
