[Q] How to verify a working sim slot on LS980 phone? - Sprint LG G2

I get a used LS980 and It havn't activated with Sprint yet. No Unlocked yet. No Sprint sim card handy. Normally, it show NO Sim card on the phone, but when T-mobile or ATT sim card inseted, it still shows "NO SIM Card" I remove the sim card completely, and reboot the phone and insert Sim again. It still show No sim Card?
Don't they support to show invalid Sim Card if insert ATT or Tmobile sim card in a locked Sprint LS980 phone? I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy locked with Sprint, If sim card inserted, it show invalid. Same with Verizon locked phone show invalid sim if ATT or Tmobile inserted.
Now, it seem likes a defective sim slot on the phone. without activated or a Sprint sim, how to verify it. Please be advice?

yup.. insert any sim beside sprint show No Sim Card message. is it normal for anyone?? or the sim slot defective?
I'm planing to use it on Freedompop. Order a sim from Tint.com could take awhile. While i'm wait for sim arrival, please tell is the sim slot defective or normal?

No one can help? Or test on your LS980 to find if it support to show invalid sim card on your locked LS980?
BTW, This device here still JB 4.2.2 with some of VZ8 firmware. Do I need to unlock for further test?

[Q] confirm if phone is carrier unlocked

I just received my nitro and I'd like to know if it is carrier unlocked. I popped in my orange sim card and booted up the phone. I wasn't asked to enter a code however. I'm still in the states, should I confirm with a tmobile sim card or is it safe to say my phone is unlocked? Thanks.
If it has accepted non at&t sim then it is unlocked obviously

do you have a custom rom? if so it may not ask for code, so it may still be locked. Try t-mobile sim just in case.
Thanks to the both of you for your replies. I was on a fully stock lg nitro. It turns out I was inserting my orange sim card the wrong way therefore the sim lock notification never came up. I popped in my sim card correctly, and sure enough it was blocked. I entered my code and everything went perfectly. I'm now on CM9!! Again thanks for the help

Can't install dual-sim adapter? No sim toolkit?

I have a stock rom GS3, rooted and unlocked. I bought a dual sim adapter but I can't get it to work. The first issue is that when I hook it all up, it says that there is no sim card. Secondly, I can't access the sim toolkit which should allow me to switch between sim cards. What do I do?

I'm in the same boat. My adapter works with sim cards inserted in each adapter one at a time (listed as Sim1 and Sim2), but when both are in, I don't see the sim toolkit? I'm on i9300, temasek v38, boeffla kernal beta 11.

Is the phone unlocked or locked?

I am buying a Samsung Galaxy note 2 from craigslist. The post said the phone was locked to telus/koodo and so I messaged them saying that my simcard is from fido and would like to buy it than
unlock it so I could use it. He messaged saying he tried Rogers/bell and it wouldn't work and he doubted it would work with fido ( I don't know if he knows what he is talking about
because the post said it was locked ) and so I asked him if it was unlocked already or was it just locked to telus and koodo because I heard you could put a koodo sim card in a
Telus phone. He also said maybe the sim card reader is broken, but I thought if the sim card reader was broken it wouldn't be able to read any sim card at all not even telus sim card that it's supposedly
locked to. The phone is model SGH-I317M. I really want to buy this phone and it was the best one I found on craigslist. I am thinking of going to test if it is unlocked but how do I tell? Will a message pop
up when I put in my fido sim card in and boot it up saying "phone is locked, put in unlock code" ? :crying:

Yes a message will pop up asking you for the sim unlock code if it's locked. If it's not locked then you'll get signal. You also need to ask them what firmware is on the phone, cuz you can possibly unlock it from the hidden menu. Just search Xda for that.
Good luck on your new device ?

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem as you. According to T-Mobile the only problem would be a hardware issue
