So I have a AT&T GN8. At one point I had some SIM card issues and I needed to insert and take the SIM card out a couple of times. In doing so, it led me to this problem.
- The SIM card insertion process now is reversed. For example, when I insert a SIM card and "click" it in, I get a window that pops up saying that the SIM card has been removed, please reboot the device. When I remove it, i.e., click on it to remove it, it says that the device detects a new SIM card, please reboot.
- The only way that I can get the SIM card to work is to click it out, but then leave it partially inserted for the device to read it. I then close the plastic SIM card cover to try to get it to stick in place, but sometimes the cover gets loose and the device notifies me that that the SIM card is out. Obviously not an ideal situation.
Does this make any sense at all? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thanks.

I only remove or install a SIM when the device is off. Maybe you can do this with the Note 8.0, but I like the tried and true method that works all the time for me without any hassles.

Thanks. Tried that a couple of times but no go. It's very odd, for some reason the mechanism thingy is reversed so clicked in signals out and vice versa. I finally put a piece of scotch tape on the SIM card cover to keep the cover from popping out with the SIM card. Works fine for now, but I'm sure the next time I'm overseas it will be a pain.

so, I am usually pretty paranoid when it comes to my phone. I set up Avast anti-theft and I set a pin for my sim card.
if someone steals my phone, then I can text it and it'll track it on a map. If they take out the sim card and tries to use it on a different phone, they can't without the pin number.
now, the problem is, someone stole my phone. they turned it off the second they got it. I sent it the text to track it. after a while, I realized, the person would have to unlock my sim card before the text can be sent.
I did get it back, but to prevent this, is there something I can do to auto-unlock my sim card on my phone?

As far as I know from personal experience you can not unlock the sim without the pin code. It would take away the whole purpose of having security on your sim card. It is there just in case of this scenario. I mean you can leave it off if you want to be able to find it.
I leave mine with only the main screen lock for that reason. I want the phone to turn on so that prey cann do it's job. If I lost my phone's and couldn't recover it then it's easy enough to blacklist in the UK!

This is happening often. My phone says no sim card. I tried to find out how to remove it but I cannot find anything on this for my phone.
I have the samsung galaxy nexus lte verizon. Can someone please tell me how to remove this card. It maybe a stupid question but I do not see how to remove it. I think it is right above the battery there is a white paper sticking out of the slot. If I try and pull it out I think it is going to ripe.
Does the metal slot open or is there something I am not seeing.
If I do remove it can I get another one for the phone. I did read several people who had changed sim cards and it did not fix the error.
Not sure what to do. I have rooted phone. Miui OS. I have a picture of my phone see picture in above reply.
No sim card picture of phone
See attachment to this email for picture of my phone. To answer the question about no sim card and how to remove it?
press the end of it in and it should pop out some more
battery has to be out first.
Sorry guys I have recently purchase an SM-P601, (for about 2 weeks ago), It's amazing tablet ever i have, and also root it while it has continue Warranty period.
Few days ago, I inserted a SIM card into the tablet, it said "SIM Card inserted, reboot to access SIM Service", but it's quite bizarre - after reboot the tablet seem not recognize SIM card it said the same message pop up and required to reboot again. I follow the process (do reboot about 10 times).
Remind that: i freeze some services via Titanium backup that i believed all of them is bloatware.
After 10 times reboot, i did restore from TWRP (the backup i use for the first time i rooted the tablet) and this time it's fine. The tablet recognize the SIM card and no more reboot, 3G access like a cup-cake.
I tried to freeze less bloatware than later, it seem ok and no problem until now, Tablet doesn't recognize SIM anymore, the signal column is still 4-5 bars while the tablet said No SIM inserted. This time tablet doesn't required reboot anymore.
I wonder if anyone see the issue similar to me, and if anyone has solution for it please help me.
In worst scenario, i will try to go to Samsung Service to claim Warranty (about SIM reader replacement - but cross finger and hope they will do - regardless i tripped the knox flag into x1).
*update*: On the way to RMA, I returned to retailer first, and at there they said they will help me to return to Samsung Services. Cross finger and hope it's gonna be fine.
Read This and I just think if SIM Card holder is some kind of clipper or removable/ replacable then i should try myself too.
So my sim reader stoo reading my sim because i believe the sim adapter ruined the contacts my question to all of you is should this effect the sd card reader as well because if the way its set up? If so my sd card still reads
And some additional info i was actually using it and all was fine then out of nowherr it randomly rebooted it did this a few times then one time it did it snd said the sim card wasnt there so i restarted and it read it then it happend again this time upon restart it still wouldnt read
Hi all. Does anyone have any recommendation for a SIM card management app to use on the G5??
SIM toolkit that came with it doesn't seem to work, I tap on it and it asks me to insert a sim card which i have already.
I have tried a few other apps but none of them seem to work reliably.
I mainly want to be able to save to and edit contacts on the sim card....reliably.
Any suggestions welcome.
