My phone doesn't detect my SIM card. It detects it sometimes when you reboot it but it then reboots by itself saying there is no sim card. Trying another sim card on my phone has the same results. Is this a hardware issue?
I think i might have the same issue did you fix your phone. I just created my thread kind of similar thing

I woke up this morning on the sight of 'SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem' message on my DHD. I restarted my phone, shut it down then restarted, but the message is still there. When I touch the message, it asks me whether I want to format it, I choose 'yes' but nothing happened. Then I tried to read the micro SD card on my laptop; again, it detects the card but fails to read / format. I tried to format it by both FAT and NTFC (just to check whether it's possible) but after clicking on 'Start,' nothing happens. Windows, then, returns a 'was not able to complete the format' message. (Xtreme 16gb Class 2 micro SD card - but the card itself doesn't have 'Xtreme' printed on it).
The same thing happened with my previous SD card a week earlier (the one that came with the phone, Samsung 8gb Class 2 micro SD card). However, the card wasn't even proceeding to 'format' and wasn't detected by my laptop at all.
What could the problem be? Could this be caused by a particular app that I have installed? I got my DHD on 25th of October, but this problem is very recent, and I had no problems before.
Help me out, please...
What software version is the DHD on?

Hi sengork,
The software number is: 1.72.405.3
I did a little research on the matter, and it seems as if this problem is since the latest OTA... but if that destroyed the first SD card, I don't know why the second one got damaged, too?
That's the thing. Most folk have not found out whether the OTA update (which you seem to have) causes only bundled Samsung SD cards to fail or whether it'd cause all cards to fail.
You might be the 1st example of the OTA causing failure on other SD cards. That is assuming that card didn't fail for some other non-OTA related reasons...

Yes sengork, I haven't found anyone else to have had 2 of their SD cards destroyed by the phone.
Common when both 'frying' incidents occurred;
i. happened late at night, when I was asleep (not using the phone for a long interval of time)
ii. had an unread SMS (had Go SMS installed)...
Did the Xtreme card happen to come with one of those 'lifetime warranties'? How much was it?

Yeah, it came with a 'lifetime warranty.' They have replaced the defective card and gave me a new one. It cost me around USD 30.
Well, today, my 3rd SD card has stopped working. I have no idea what the hell is going on...
It don't have to be broken....
Read this - I do not have a BB phone and to be honest - I have no clue what it means but might be helpfull... check this

For solutions on doing this with the DHD would be nice
Edit: can confirm in a BB - BlackBerry phone I was able to format the SD Card without problem and it is now accessable from the DHD again - issue fixed

Hi guys,
I've seen this issue addressed on forums for other devices but didn't see a thread for it here.
Anyone else experienced this before? Constalty getting an error message for "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed". It's a class 4 32GB SD Card, it's installed securely in my GS3 in an Otterbox case, running on my rooted stock JB device.
I can usually access the SD card data after a few minutes but then often when I wake my device still get the same message.
Do I need to format the card??
I had an S3 that initially reported this error. It eventually started ruining sdcards.
AT&T eventually ended up giving me a new one.

Anyone have any further input on this? Earlier tonight, mine gave me the same warning. (Also installed securely inside an Otterbox case, running stock/ non rooted). I just popped the card into my laptop and my computer doesn't see it. It really looks like the card's ruined and everything on it is gone. To say that's not cool is an understatement...
Mine started saying it's ejected last night, also in a case, randomly saying it's back. Still works fine in a pc. Assuming it's the slot and not the rom...poop. guess I need to Odin back to stock and try to get a replacement.

Had the same issue with my S3.
Turned out that the SD card was dying, this caused it to be unmounted by itself and then mounted again (sometimes showing notification “sd card removed unexpectedly”), hence triggering the media scanning process.
I created an application to monitor how many times the SD card was removed, and turned out to be unmounted every ~3 mins!!!
I then bought a new Transcend 32GB Class 10 card, and until now, this never happens, no reports from the application whatsoever, and no media process eating my battery.
I just published this app in the play store now, this is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sdcardmonitor
It might be a bad sd card, i used to get that error on another phone when using a certain sd card but when i tried another one it worked fine. Maybe try another card see if you get the error.
Apparently sgs3 have problems with SD cards anyway

I had this happen to my friends phone the other day. Best thing to do if you can't access the information may be to run chkdsk /r which will check for bad sectors and recover any readable information. Move tour info off the card and try to reformat to fat32

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 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.
