I would like to use my old At&t Galaxy S3 phone like a tablet, though keep my old deactivated sim card in it. Of course with that comes the same popup message after every reboot. Does anyone know how I can disable the popup message "Sim not provisioned mm#2"? The phone is rooted.
Do I need to edit the build.prop like you would with the "No Sim card in the phone" message?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Did you ever find the fix for this? I also want to do the exact same thing.
I found this fix, that seems to work:
1. Turn on airplane mode. (Settings > More > Airplane mode to turn of cellular connection)
2. Then turn wifi, Bluetooth etc back on.
Thanks

If I flash any custom ROM that is not built on the stock/ota my phone appears to have some problems with the SIM card.
Specifically, if I go into settings->call settings->advanced it gives an error reading "Network or SIM card error." then it kicks me back to call settings, preventing me from making any changes.
This is a problem because I need to change the "my phone number" setting. If I go to settings->about phone->status it shows "unknown" under "my phone number" which in turn causes the phone to not associate my own contact entry with the phone, and it also causes problems for checking voicemail.
Strangely enough, I am still able to make phone calls, sent sms/mms, and connect to mobile data with no problem, so obviously the SIM card is working and is being read by the phone.
I would suspect that it is a problem with the SIM card, but if I flash back to stock, the problem goes away.
Any ideas anyone?

That happens with me also, running cm7 rom. But that`s not really an issue because there are not important settings over there.If you change any settings before the message pops up , settings will be saved after you exit the menu. Nothing to worry about- your phone and sim are fine:good:
I have been using my Nexus 5 for a while and I noticed something very strange. On my status bar it will show a cellular connection but I will not actually have connection. Then when I go to quick settings it will show emergency calls only only with no connection. I then need to go to airplane mode on and off to reconnect. Weird.
Any solutions?
Anyone else?

Hey there I have the same issue as well!! By any chance are you using a nano Sim card with a micro Sim card adapter as well? I am worry it is the contact between the pins??
Airplane mode
Just try to look at one of: lock screen, notification bar (after connected with WiFi), settings - APN Name, ##4636# mobile phone status.
If you can find correct mobile service provider name, it seems that your SIM card is recognized correctly. If not, try another sim card.
After it, try ##4636# select GSM Only or CDMA only, to see if it can connects. And some info shows if you are using sprint card, you should connect sprint service to provide your MEID. Search if you using sprint.
I'm on Sprint and was never able to make or receive calls regardless of Network settings in the easily accessible options menu after flashing the P Preview.
The following fixed my issue. You can access this menu without downloading an app but I forget how so it's easier to just download the free app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
I had my network mode set to LTE/CDMA when first using this app, and somewhere in the middle I changed it to CDMA but I'm not sure how much that impacted the actual fix.
These were my steps. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause to your device as I'm not sure if messing with these settings is foolproof or not.
First, opened previously linked app "Force LTE" then under "Set Preferred Network Type" I changed to CDMA only. Enabled/disabled airplane mode. This seemed to do nothing as LTE was still showing in statusbar.
I then chose CDMA auto (PRL), airplane mode on/off, didn't seem to do much either. LTE still showed in statusbar and couldn't make calls. Also "Voice Network Type" showed "Emergency Calls only" inside the app.
I then chose the 3 dot menu and chose "select radio band". I changed that to United States, without resolving problem. Then selected "Cellular 800" and this may have solved the problem, but I continued on and selected PCS, fiddled with some settings in Phones settings menu. Was finally able to receive calls and my signal indicator showed 3G. In app Voice Network Type was listed as 1xRtt. I decided to select radio band once more and chose Class 10.
Calls were still functioning fine. So I went into Main settings menu and changed mobile network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA. LTE kicked in and calls still work!
Again, these settings may only work for Sprint hence the PCS Network option, and I believe Sprint may utilize the 800mhz frequency. The app might show you different options depending on your carrier. I don't know.
Anyway, fully functioning! Woohoo!!
Android P cannot make calls
I found an easier way
1. Remove your sim card from your phone, and turn off phone
2. Insert a different Sim from anywhere and restart the phone.
3. Try using the phone to make calls
4. Turn off the phone and remove the Sim card
5. Insert the main sim card( your original Sim card) and restart your phone
6. After start allow the phone to automatically reconfigure your network
This method worked for me. Hope it helps someone out there

Thanks, somewhat easier if ya have an extra sim.
Just updated to Android 10 ROM - G970FXXU3BKSO on my international (SM-G970F/DS) Galaxy S10e.
Now, if I set the SIM card to use for "Mobile data" (with one SIM card turned off, and the option of either the active SIM (AT&T) or "off"), when I set the "mobile data" the the SIM card that is turned on, I get a toast mesage that (to the effect of) "AT&T will be used for mobile data", but, when the toast disappears, the Mobile Data setting is either "off" or just not present at all (that is, under "Mobile Data" there is nothing -- blank). If I use the "quick settings", it shows mobile data is on, but it isn't. If I toggle the quick settings to off, then on, it comes back on.
By itself, this isn't such a big deal, but, apparently randomly, mobile data simply gets turned off.
Help???
One UI 2 (Android 10 - "BSKO" rom) SIM card manager bug? - SOLVED
SOLVED: This was a bear to find.
TLDR: This was NOT a bug in the SIM card manager. It was a problem with the Google Fi app.
Google FI app was messing with SIM card control. Delete the app, and all is fine.
Long version:
Android 10 update for Samsung SM-G970F/DS (Dual SIM, Exnos, international version) seemed to break the SIM card manager for the dual SIM configuration.
Randomly, it would set Mobile Data to off, but not gracefully or correctly. Randomly, it would change the mobile data to use the alternate SIM card.
I have a Google FI SIM in slot 1, and an AT&T SIM card in slot 2.
Apparently, the Google FI app *thinks* it knows more than it does about the Samsung dual sim phones, and thinks it wants to switch SIM cards. It would disable mobile data, but not set the "mobile data" flag to "off". So, the mobile data looks like it is on, but, when bringing up the SIM card manager from settings/Connections/SIM card manager, the "Mobile data" was blank (which should never happen), instead of "Off"
Deleting the Google Fi application makes everything fine.
Google Fi app version: December 11, 2019 version. (V22-arm64-v8a-xxhdpi (282453276)
Hello,
Since I update my pixel 2 (February 2020) my phone cant get into mobile network. on the notification bar displayed 'Invalid Sim - Emergency Calls Only' while on notification center said 'No simcard'. When I try to put the simcard to another phone its worked just fine.
I already tried to hard reset my phone and change another simcard to put in my Pixel 2 but the result remained 'Invalid Card'
When I go to Setting > Network & Internet it just display an option to 'Add a network'
I tried to proceed by tapping the option and it bring me to a page where I can download the esim and I trying to download it whatsoever and it give me an error said Network not active and give EID number to be referred to my network operator carrier.
I think this is not an issue with my carrier. It is hardware issues. please if somebody know how to help this, i literally tried everything to fix my device. or should I just wait for the next update? will they fix it?
