Hi there, I am now facing the issue with SIM 2 not being recognized by my Galaxy Note 10. The SIM is fine as it works if I put it into SIM 1 slot, slot 2 does not seem to react at all. I've tested it working in the past with the same SIM card, just did not need to use it until now.
Question - is it possible that an upgrade from Android 10 (which I think was the OS at the time I tested the SIM 2) to Android 11 might have broken it, so could it be a software related issue, and not necessary a hardware fault? I pretty much haven't touched the SIM tray that much at all from the day I own the phone.
Thanks, please share your thoughts, much appreciated as I'm looking for a solution!
Facing Same Exact issue.. u figure out wat happened.. or just get new phone with proper 2 sim card capability

I have just bought a new HTC Touch Pro, but when I inserted the SIM card, it wasn't recognised. The phone shows "No SIM". My SIM works fine on my old XDA IIi. I tried a spare old SIM card on the Touch Pro and it worked (so I did insert my SIM right).
I restarted the phone, removed the SIM card and inserted it again and again but no luck !
I noticed that the old SIM which worked with TP has a bigger yellow part (the active part whatever it's called). I don't know if this is related to the problem.
Please help !
Anyone? Please help
Solved!!
Hi, buddy!
I have a samsung captivate and I was having the same trouble.
I'm brazilian and my sister send me the phone unlocked from US.
It had been working well for 5 months.
When I changed the SIM it has began asking me for the code(??!). It was programed for not asking PIN code so I got surprised. I typed my code several times until get the phone locked.
I spent more than 2 weeks to find the solution: Galaxy S Unlock, a free program available at the Market. It's necessary to root and install Busy Box (I installed mine with Titanium Backup).
Try something close to this for your device!
I hope this can be usefull!
HI
i have recently bought a nexus S online, which i believe to be a recond set.. running on 4.0.4
the problem is when i put in my SIM card and switched the phone on, the phone does not recognize the SIM card at all (there's no problem with the SIM card, was/is working perfectly in another phone)
so i tried flashing different sorts of factory image for nexus S, including the SOJU, SOJUA and the SOJUK.. but with all the images i'm still unable to get the phone to recognize the sim..
is it a problem with wrong firmware/radio version? or is it to do with a faulty SIM board?
also, if it IS due to a faulty SIM board, how would you rate the difficulty of replacing it? for a non-experienced pair of hands.. i saw the instructions on ifixit, looks do-able..
Please advice.. thanks

well.. in the end i solved my problem by replacing the SIM board. works like a charm afterwards. nothing to do with radio or other stuff. =)
I have recently purchase a Note 4 clone phone from China. It works very well but I have a problem. When I got it I inserted an EE micro simcard which work fine whilst I waited for my proper talktalk simcard to arrive. Now however when I insert the talktalk simcard in I get no signal and the message emergency calls only.
I think with these types of the devices, once you insert the first sim card into it, they tend to lock onto that network and won't work with anyone other.
My question is therefore:-
Is there a way to unlock a Note 4 clone phone
If the phone can not be unlocked, I was thinking that if I back up the ROM and reflash the phone with the same ROM it might fix the problem. But I do not know how to back up the ROM. I've read a number of threads but still remain confused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can not use the phone at all now. The device is rooted.
Thanks in advance
Any help guys

Is anyone able to help?
Hey everyone!
I need some advice from an experienced member. More of a theoretical issue - can a phone not recognizing a SIM card be a software issue if the wifi is working?
I'm having some trouble with an old phone (S4 active ATT I537). I managed to flash it back to stock and played around with it for a few days, rooting, a ROM etc then restarted it one time and now it will not recognize the SIM card. It's driving me crazy I tried cleaning the contacts but I'm about to just sell it as is.
-Same SIM works in an S4 I337 right after I take it out of the active and put it in
-Wifi works on both phones

Hey.
I only found out about this "second physical SIM card reader is disabled" issue after I bought my S21+ here in Australia. Even after swapping the single SIM tray to a dual SIM tray it wouldn't work.. which was then explained over here at GSMarena.
I was getting my hopes up that with a dual SIM card tray and flashing the right ROM, I would be able to use both my physical SIM cards but I seem unable to find the one that would help to achieve this.
Has anyone else come across this and was successful in enabling that second reader?
P.S. I'd prefer to use a European ROM in the end but I'm at the point where if I can't enable via flash, I will return and hope to find a S21+ somewhere else that comes with dual physical enabled ootb.
P.P.S. Currently on G996BXXU3BUKG, XSA

Hi there, have you ever figured out a way to use the second SIM slot? I am facing the same issue with a US S22. I can see the physical SIM card connections under a microscope and bought a dual sim tray but no second SIM shows up under "SIM card manager"

Howdy.
I wasn't able to get the second one working, not with with the dual sim tray and any ROM.
For me, it ended up with a return and getting one from Europe where the dualSIM came ootb and worked right away.
Sorry, no revelations from me.
Best of luck
Thank you for your response. I am sorry it didn't work for you in the end.
It really is a shame, in my opinion, for Samsung to put up those restrictions on the device, especially if it already ships with the hardware in it.
