I had this Samsung note 5 N920Vfor about 5 years now and a couple of days ago I was talking on the phone and my call got dropped and no signal bars were appearing. I tried to changed the SIM card and reset the phone but no luck. The phone detects a SIM card is inserted but I don’t get any signal. Can somebody please help me with this?

Hello everyone,
My mother owns a Nexus 5. Some days back her phone hanged so we waited till the battery depleted and it turned off. On turning it on we noticed that the phone didnt get any network. Tried almost everything but nothing worked. Then I switched to a test sim and the phone could catch the network but didnt work again once I inserted my mom's sim. We got a new sim but the same issue ( test sim and actual sim are on different operators). Can anyone recommend a solution?
Two months ago my Nexus 5 would start randomly losing signal or say that there was no sim card inserted. After a few reboots it would recognize the sim and let me use it normally, but when the device gets turned off and turned back on again there would be no signal.
More recently my Nexus 5 just says no sim card inserted but when reinserted it gets detected with no signal. Is there anyway i can fix this issue as i got signal yesterday but sadly restarted my phone because of a graphical issue and i lost the signal again. I have also done a factor reset and re-flashed android. Any help would be useful!
(Yes i have tried other sims and same problems)
Current Network: iD
Other Networks Tried: O2,Orange,T-Mobile.
Since the phone behaves the same way with different SIM cards, it could be a hardware failure with the SIM card reader.

But sometimes it will detect the sim and give me a signal and if i restart the phone it will not detect it again. If it was something wrong with the sim reader wouldn't it just not work at all?
Not necessarily because it should always detect the presence of a SIM card, active or not.
Most likely, there's a bad solder joint somewhere, it would work after a few restarts because the metal would expand as the phone heated up and make contact again. You could try to bake the logic board, might fix it. But, realistically, it's a long shot.

I'm having a really strange issue that has persisted across two phones (Nexus 5X and Pixel) and 2 SIM cards. I'm on Verizon.
Sometime in early October, I started noticing my phone would occasionally completely drop from the cell network for 10-20 seconds at a time and then reconnect. This continues to happen about 1-5 times per day. When it drops, the signal bars are hollow like there is no network in range. If I try to text or look at my lockscreen I get a "no SIM card" message, but I never see the "no SIM card" icon appear like when you physically remove the SIM card.
Around the time this started, two things happened: I got a new SIM card (long story short, Verizon messed up my mom's Note 7 exchange, and I had to get a new SIM) and I updated my Nexus 5X to the October 2016 Android security release build. I was lazy about troubleshooting the issue because I had a new Pixel on preorder. Once the Pixel arrived, I moved the SIM I had been using in the Nexus 5X to the Pixel. I quickly noticed that the problem also occurred on the Pixel. In fact, it was maybe slightly worse. I assumed the new SIM Verizon had given me was bad, so I went to a Verizon store and swapped it out. But the problem still continues!
So now I'm confused. This problem has continued through 2 phones and 2 SIM cards. Could this be an Android issue with the October 2016 security release? That's the only thing the Nexus 5X and Pixel have in common. Could I have gotten 2 bad SIM cards in a row? That seems unlikely. Could there be a problem with Verizon in my area? The problem does appear to occur more often in specific physical areas, but it's not 100% consistant. I'm not really sure what do think. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone have any thoughts?
Hi,
I initially started with a OnePlus One and it came to a point where I would lose reception (Both data and mobile) maybe once an hour. The only fix was to restart the phone. I got fed up with it so I ended up getting a new phone, the Samsung Galaxy S7. It's been 3 days and I haven't found any problems, however, this morning I found my phone to have no reception. I restarted it and it started working again.
Could this be a SIM card problem? WiFi works fine.
Thanks
Not sure about the OPO but i had this happen to me where i lost reception for no more than 30s.
For you to restart the phone to get a reception is news to me and honestly have no idea.
I don't know how easy it is for you but with my operator it is very easy to just pick up a new sim card and ether have the shop to register the new card or do it by myself online. If the card is the same as the one you used with the OPO a new card would be the first thing to test. I have heard of lost reception problems were a sim card has been the culprit.

Is it the same SIM card from both phones?
Something has to be the same between them, either the SIM, or if it is a different SIM, then your location / surroundings / interference

Same SIM card. My location and surroundings don't affect when I lose reception. It just seems to be random. Both me and my girlfriend have the same carrier (Kodoo). I'd be sitting by my desk for a couple hours and have full bars and suddenly lose reception. Then restart my phone and I get reception back.

I'd request a SIM replacement, see if that fixes it, unlikely to be the phone if you have two with the same problem using the same SIM
Hi!
A few weeks ago i lost my signal on my Z5. I decided to order a new antenna and changed it and the antenna-cable. The signal came back for a short while, but disappeared a few hours later. So I tried to flash new rom since the phone is rooted. I have tried UK/DE/SE/Global, but none is working.
No signal, and the sim detection is very slow e.g it takes like 5 minutes after restart to detect sim card. Xperia-software from PC not working since bootloader is unlocked.
Can someone help me?
Best regards
M
