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.

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!

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
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

EDIT:
I just forgot to delete the Viper4android module because it doesn't work and would set se Linux to permissive, so that it would break the Sim card settings.

Hey guys,
I'm currently on holiday and not using Sim cards.
Yesterday I was trying to install Viper4android and one of the files I've downloaded is now causing my phone to set se Linux to permissive.
But even worse, my sim cards don't get detected.
I also can't access the Sim cards settings.
The settings app freezes so I can only close it in the recents tab.
One other thing I have done was disabling the things to stop the phone from throttling in the Webbrowser and some apps.
I forgot when the problem started.
How do I fix that?
