Sim issue. Maybe - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Woke up this morning and grabbed phone and notice a strange icon between my WiFi and battery icons. No signal, first tried toggling airplane mode, didn't help. Next step was to reboot, didn't help. Next I booted into TWRP and wiped caches, only difference here was I saw the android is optimizing apps 1 of 30 or what ever. Booted back up and still shows no Sim. I have also pulled and reinserted the Sim a few times.
Running Android M stock rooted on Sprint.
Attached a screen shot from in carrier settings. Still shows my imei and basebands so I'm assuming the efs is ok

Same here, the only difference is that I just flashed a custom ROM for the first time on my nexus 5 and found about this issue. I tried DU and CM 12.1 and all of them have this issue. With CM i got data after while with a NO SIM CARD error but it was very slow and only where LTE was available. I went back to stock and data is working again.

Try the sim card in another phone and try someone else's sim card in yours.

Sim works in other phones and whatever Sim I put in nexus isn't detected at all. I've tried T-Mobile and a at&t sim. I have had service reappear twice since this post. And only after shutting down the phone and letting it sit 45 mins to a hour.

This sounds like a hardware issue affecting the SIM card reader. Perhaps try to factory reset or back to Android Lollipop if you like.

No sim card error?? Any solutions??

This is not my forum, I don't have one yet, I have the bell, samsung galaxy s2 hd lte. It's a brand new device 9 days old, it started yesterday saying "no sim card inserted " I had you pull the battery and sim card then reboot, it was fine again for 12 hours now it's happened twice?? Anyone else experienced this??
Our phones are similar, bell said get a new sim, which I will tomorrow, however after a Google search this seems to be a popular error with the s2.
Thanks

Are you on the stock ROM? Are you rooted? Did you flash anything to the phone or change the ROM, Kernel, or modem? If you haven't done any of this, I would try the new SIM card. If that doesn't work, exchange the phone. If you have done something, try going back to stock and see if it resolves the issue. Alot of times it comes down to the modem / radio being mismatched to a ROM or Kernel.
im having the same problem, the way to fix it is odin flash the firmware from sammobile, buttt i cant connect my phone via usb anymore thus im stuck with this problem ;(
2 Possible Solutions(Easy Fix)
1, wait out the data outage in your area. We are on ATT and having the same exact issue and when I called 611(Customer Service) the automated answering system told me that they are currently experiencing data outages in my area. could be due to a tower/service upgrade being that 4G is coming out in more areas now.
2, call 611 and set up your phone model with the customer service rep at the technical support extension.
I would put a 3rd option... but I haven't tried flashing a new rom yet, I just got the Skyrocket as a free refurb from Insurance and I am currently on an unrooted stock GB ROM.
yes flashing to original rogers tar using odin did fix it.. but if i try other roms its broken again, so for now it looks like ill have to stay with the original firmware
If you flash the ucle2 modem in SeanZscreams post it will most likely fix the issue on each Rom you flash as long as you flash the modem after.

To check to see if its your SIM card, use a USB Adapter or microSD -> SD adapter. Back up all your files then reformat it using: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and then put back all your stuff and try again.
try this or other plp that have this problem try this pliz an coment

The error message that said I needed to insert a valid sim card happened again today while traveling home.
The good news is I think I figured it out!
The Galaxy S4 requires a "nfc" enabled sim card!
You can't tell by looking at the tiny sim but the larger card the sim comes in has a notation of "nfc" if it's the right card.
I hung out in the Verizon store after inserting it and the drove home "an hour drive" and absolutely no errors!
And I maintained a 4g signal throughout my whole trip which was through some back country where signal is usually marginal.
This is a pretty serious problem for Verizon.
Why?
1. Because if I would have ran around in safe mode it still would have errored.
2. If I would have reformatted to factory settings... The same... All for nothing and days of configuration lost.
3. If I got another new phone, again the same.... All because I would be using my same sim card.!
I'm sure many replace the whole phone "and" sim together and when it works it's assumed the problem was the phone or software.
What a terrible headache for the customer, tech support, and verizon customer service just because people don't know the proper sim card needed for the S4!

You're in the wrong forum. Wrong phone and wrong provider.

I have the 727 galaxy ii and started having the same no sim inserted message. Running stock, never rooted or anything. Turns out my solution was to reflow the solder around the sim card and that got it going again.

Nexus 5 No Signal

Afternoon, sitting with a dead nexus 5 in my possession, iv tried multiple things such as:
Going back to android 4.4, 4.4.2 and 4.4.3.
Tried radios from different versions
IMEI is still valid and not blacklisted
SIM works in other devices
Phone is able to scan for network
Phone has dbm values for antenna
Clearning Cache
Flashing custom rom and kernel.
Weird things happen such as: If i insert a new sim card the phone will connect to that sim card for about a minute then disconnects again.
Would the TOT file for my phone work in giving it a full factory reset or not using the LG Flash Tool.
Have the exact same problem. Just got my phone back from LG repair and it's still doing it so sending it back again. I can stand right next to friend who has nexus 5 with same service and he has full lte. Had the same thing happen with me reinserting sim card. I would get lte bars then the signal just dies and I get nothing.
Is the APN right? It may have signal but just say unknown.

Lost Recognition of Sim card after 5.0.1 Update

Hi all. Did the update to my Shield now my tablet does not recognize my Sim card. Tried same Sim card on my iPad and it works so this means that there is something wrong with my Shield.
By the way my tablet was not rooted, only the bootloader was unlocked. Did the update through the update manager of my tablet and all seemed good until the Sim card issues. Any ideas?

Maybe you flashed a wifi-only ROM ?
This was already a problem in the first Lollipop ota update. I had to factory reset, wipe cache to get the sim to be detected consistently. This was not an issue at all on Kit Kat.
It happens whenever the cellular data is turned off or tablet is in airplane mode for a prolonged period of time.
Will try and wipe cache as well and see what happens
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
FYI...this still happens on my set from time to time which is currently on Lollipop 5.01
Hi all,
Same thing for me.
Not possible to get sim card connected, it looks like there is none.
The signal appear and disappear ramdomly for both a long time!!!
This happen still the last 5.0.1 update.

Just got a new Shield Tablet from Nvidia. Nothing I tried with my old one seemed to help. So if this is happening to you, I suggest you call Nvidia.
Same problem here after OTA 2.2. My o2 SIM is not detected anymore. 2.2.1 didn't solve the problem. This tablet is just a piece of crap! Noise from the GPU, GSM noise trough the speakers (well, GSM was working there) and now this. Brilliant work Nvidia, thumbs up!
any solution?? or new info?
I had to turn on data roaming to get it to recognize my Sim, then I had to make my net10 APN twice and then delete both at&t apn's before I got my data/SMS working. I can't guarantee it'll work, but it's something, at least.

I'm on free sim... and i will try with an other sim to see if it works!
just try emergency call to know if phone radio is working ...
It could be the network. Try going somewhere else where another tower is.

Same thing happened recently with my friends Nexus 5. I know it's not the SIM because we I tried my working SIM (from my Nexus 5 - we're both on T-Mobile) and didn't work either. I flashed radios, custom rom, stock rom, wiped, you name it... Is this likely a hardware problem? Just stopped working out of the blue one night..
After all it was not phone related it was carrier related and they had to give me a noter sim to get it working...
Lol user error

Mobile data stopped working, APN is correct.

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
