I have a galaxy s3 16 GB Verizon. After using an international Sim card, it will no longer accept any Sim card. I tried two Verizon Sims, and the international Sim. It would not detect either of them. I did a factory reset. Whenever you eject the Sim, it feels spongy. Stock 4.4 kitkat

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Yes
2. You would insert a SIM card of a different carrier and see if it works (and is detected).
3. It will support any GSM carrier which supports its frequencies
i inserted a sim card with international roaming but a triangle is coming and in my notifications it said
Lost data connectivity
what does this mean?

Plus i have signal bars without and with the SIM card, the only difference is when i insert the sim card, there is an R with the signal bars
is my device factory unlocked or not?
Apologies if this is not the correct forum but I did not see a specific one for the Acer Liquid E2.
I have the Acer Liquid E2 Duo V370 dual sim phone running Android 4.2.2, with build Acer_AV061_V370_1.032.00_WW_GEN1. I have a Lycamobile UK SIM and a Toggle UK SIM in the phone (for info, Lycamobile and Toggle are effectively the same company). With Lycamobile and Toggle you sometimes need to use the SIM Toolkit to access the SIM itself to switch/latch modes on the phone to select the network. SIM Toolkit will not let me access the Lycamobile SIM on this phone, but has no problem with any other SIM and the Toggle one). If I swap SIM slots to see if that is the issue I still cannot access the Lycamobile SIM. If I put the Lycamobile SIM in another Android I can access the SIM OK and change the settings I need to there. I am just mystified as to why the V370 is not able to recognize the Lycamobile SIM.
Lycamobile does appear in the list when I open SIM Toolkit but if i click on it I get the message "Application is not installed on your phone".
If I go into Manage Apps I can see 2 SIM Toolkit entries there: one is titled SIM Toolkit, one is called SIM Tool Kit. SIM Tool Kit is version 4.2.2 eng.call2.13888656137; SIM Toolkit is Version 1.0.
As for swapping SIMs into different slots I have tried almost every variation possible I think: I put the Lycamobile in slot 1, same error, and then slot 2, same error; I tried it with the Toggle in slot 1 and slot 2 and it works as expected each time; I have tried it with Toggle in slot 1, Lycamobile slot 2, same error, Lycamobile in slot 1, Toggle in slot 2, same error. Later tonight I am going to get the other phone out and see if I can see if there is an obvious difference but SIM Toolkit has been around for years so this is very confusing to me - Lycamobile obviously have the stuff on the SIM that should be there but the V370 does not like it. I have also put other SIMS in both slots and all are read successfully
The other phone is a ZTE V790 Android 4.0.4, SIM Toolkit is 4.0.4-20121213.152757.26676. With one SIM enabled in phone I have SIM Toolkit in the app list, when I enable the second SIM, then SIM Toolkit2 appears in the list and I can access the Lycamobile SIM just fine.
Any clues as to why the Lycamobile SIM not recognized on this one particular device (Acer V370) but is fine in others? I have asked Lycamobile but we are bandying emails at the moment and not really getting anywhere.
For people that have smartphones that do not have SIM Toolkit installed, is there a set of #### codes you give them to choose between Automatic and Manual modes? If so, I am happy to use those as a circumvention if you can provide them to me.
The phone is rooted and I have the stock Acer ROM installed.
Thanks.

Problem
Unable to detect sim
Here's the skinny.
I have an iPhone 5s with a sim adapter.
Everything is working great as far as custom ROMs go.
I've tried cyanogen, PAC rom., and I've landed on slimkat as my favorite.
I get no sim detected on all ROMs.
I even went to Verizon to officially activate my s3 with an official Verizon sim and I still get no sim detected.
Any thoughts?
I have an unlocked/rooted XT926 and recently flashed CM12 nightly on it. I am unable to get 4G with a Selectel (Verizon) SIM in the phone, but 4G works fine with a Verizon SIM in the phone. Selectel rep is saying I "damaged" the SIM with a custom ROM and they won't replace the SIM. The Selectel SIM also doesn't connect 4G in any of 2 other XT926s nor in 2 XT912s, two of which have stock ROMs (though rooted). Is it possible for a custom ROM to damage or corrupt a SIM? I think it was bad out of the box, does this happen?
Hi! My Second SIM Slot got locked up after installing a custom ROM. Is there a way to keep the second SIM Unlocked, I tried changing the CSC to the default one and it's still the SIM. BTW I got mine from Smart here in the Philippines.
If the second SIM is important, I'd go back to the working setup, until I researched a working, DS Exynos (?) ROM.
Why don't you install the original ROM, that supports Dual SIM capabilities?
Try that and see if it works.
