My Tab P11 Plus has been updated to Android 12 recently. The SIM card is detected and shows the mobile provider name on the Wi-Fi and network settings page, but when you tap on it to open the detailed SIM card settings page, nothing happens. I tried a different SIM card and it works ok, the only difference is that the other SIM card doesn't support VoLTE while my original one (that no longer works) supports it. I also tried to remove the PIN from the SIM card and reset all the network settings.
The SIM card works ok in other devices.
Is there anything I can do via the adb, to delete all the SIM card related data? I don't want to do a complete reset, as it takes almost a week to setup evetyhing from the scratch again. Thank you.

Is this feasible? I am trying to export the contacts from an old SIM card using the D2G as sort of an "adapter".
Insert the SIM card, then start the Manage SIM Card app, it comes preinstalled.
«Import SIM Card» will let you import contacts from the card. You don't need to perform band unlock for this to work, although I'm not sure if it's possible to import contacts if your phone is SIM locked.

Hm. If I've never bothered to deal with the SIM card feature I would assume that my phone is still SIM locked. It is rooted though does that make a difference?
The SIM lock can only be removed by entering the unlock code. There is no way to circumvent it.
You might be able to get the contacts from the SIM if you bypass the SIM unlock screen, though.
Well, I'm not seeing a "SIM manager" application. There is an applications installed called "SIM Toolkit" which I definitely didn't install, and doesn't seem to open up any options.
The phone seems to support SIM devices.. :
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/name
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/type
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/sim_availability
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/class
Are you on 4.5.x or on 2.4.x firmware? “Manage SIM Card” appears in my app drawer on 4.5.608 and it's a stock application. I don't remember its name in 2.4.x, alas.
The app won't do anything if you don't have a SIM card installed, however. Upon inserting a SIM card and powering the device up it should ask you for the SIM unlock PIN (obtainable from VZW for free provided the phone is active, and you have been a good customer and paid all your bills on time). It won't happen if your device is in CDMA only mode; the SIM card reader is only activated in Global and GSM modes.
settings > about phone > android version = 2.3.7
I'm guessing the sim card manager is a few versions newer :-/
You're looking at Android version, not System version.
There is no official firmware for the DROID2 GLOBAL that runs Android 2.3.7. You're probably using custom firmware (CM7?), and you should refer to its developers to learn how to import contacts from the SIM card.
Most probably the contacts app supports it itself.
I inserted valid nano sim card properly. Same card works in all other phones. In Z3 on lock screen at the top it says NO SIM card - Emergency calls only. Exclamation mark in notifications shows No service (Selected network unavailable).
Under Settings>Mobile Networks>Service providers I see all providers available in my region but can't connect automatically or manual. When i Choose manual (my network HT HR) T-mobile, then Registering on HT HR... and after it says Cannot connect to network now. Please try later. I have tried multiple sim cards from all network providers. Under Service menu> Sim Lock there are all 0 (zeros) which I think shows that phone isn't Sim locked.
Tried to flash few stock ROMs over Flashtool, repair via companion, even tried to root and with [ROM][MARSHMALLOW][LB/UB][570][Z3] eXistenZ Marshmallow | v1.0.5 |
Last thing I tried was to put piece of paper between Sim card and Sim tray.
Same thing with everything. Could it be SW issue or HW? If it's SW what to do?

If your phone says NO SIM, and your SIM works in other devices, then it's a phone error. If your SIM doesn't work in a different phone, replace SIM.
Hi,
I have a oneplus 7 and my wife has one too. We bought the same phones, and are both subscribed to the same operator (Sosh - France). We have the same OOS version (10.0.6.GM57BA), rooted and having the same xXx config.
I don't have problems with my phone.
On my wife's phone, a problem appeared some time ago :
The sim card is in the phone and the phone has network.
After some time, the phone shows "mobile network not available", and the status bar shows icons as if there was no sim card (for the 2 slots).
Looking in the SIM & network settings while the issue is present, I see :
SIM1 : inactive
SIM2 : No SIM
Without reboot :
Opening the SIM slot : SIM1 -> "No SIM".
Reinserting the SIM slot : the phone asks for the SIM PIN, and connects to the mobile network for a few seconds. Then same happens again.
Removing/reinserting again on the same slot or the other slot : "No Sim Card"
A phone reboot solves the problem, but it appens again after some time.
The problem is becoming more and more frequent.
Does someone already had this problem ? Tips on solutions ?
Hi, just an update in case.
I added a 2nd sim card (subscription no more valid), and when the main SIM was becoming inactive, the other one was still active.
Went to the operator who changed the SIM and the problem does not occur anymore.
did you find a solution

Hi,
as I said in the 2nd comment, it was the SIM card defective, I changed it.
Hello everyone.
From months I have problems with one of mine SIM Card. Before the root and the FW update my Vodafone SIM card worked good (with also 5G). After the processes mentioned above it stop working.
Premise:
I’ve switched the SIM from slot 1 to slot 2 (don’t work)
I’ve cleaned the SIM card (don’t work)
On an iPhone the sim work perfectly.
It’s possible to solve this problem and rehabilitate the SIM? I really need it because the actual SIM some times lost the connection.
Uses the code in the dialer phone *#*#4636#*#* verify in information in menu (uper right) the bands, select your zone or automatic mode and ready

Hello,
I purchased that phone off eBay since it was listed as Dual sim, the sim tray support Sim+Sim/SD Card, but only has 1 IMEI, so inserting a sim card in the second sim slot, do nothing. I read that dual sim will be enabled with software update, but I updated software to September 1 security patch level, but nothing has changed.
Service provider software version is: SAOMC_SM-A536U1_OYM_XAA_12_0009 XAA/XAA/XAA
Maybe your card faces the wrong direction ? Contacts have to show to the outside.
Check in the settings menu 'connections->sim-card administration' if there is a (greyed out) second sim slot available and look at 'phone info->status information->IMEI-info' if there is a second slot entry with corresponding number just to be sure that there isn't a software issue.

No. There is no sim card manager settings. Sim card is inserted correctly, only one IMEI, so that's why 2nd SIM is not working
Expected that all sm-a536 devices support dual-sim. Maybe it's a restriction from your carrier or firmware since you still got the Sim+SD/Sim2 slot. Seems the us variants are a bit cut short with no unlockable bootloader ec..
Helloo!! Any progress on this? IF I install another version like the EU one, would I see the dual sim options? I can be believe the phone is hardware capable but the firmware blocks it
Hi every one !
Anyone has an idea of how to unlock the dualsim capability ? Maybe by flashing a different region/country firmware ?
Thanks !
I just checked for a software update and I got the Android 13 and UI 5 update (near 2GBs) and the dual sim capability was enabled with this update. A second IMEI appears and the 2 sim cards got both signal.
Before installing the update, I took out the SD card and placed a 2nd SIM. Don't know if that had something to do with the dual sim capability enabling.
The Dual Sim Capability is not the same as with other Samsungs. You have no option to set a SIM card as default for calls and text or always ask before making a call, and the other one as default for DATA, only as primary, and the primary is the default for everything. But with the Google phone APP I was able to set the SIM Settings to either one or always ask.
It doesn't have a separate Network Mode for secondary SIM either.

Glad I'm not alone in this. It's like pulling teeth with people convincing them there's an unlocked dual-sim us version sm-a536u1 (sm-a536uzkdxaa). Obviously Samsung is little help in this. I've removed the actual IMEI numbers for obvious reasons.
