Urgent help required ! SIM cards keep deactivating and activating every few seconds - Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Something strange happened yesterday. Everything was working perfect when both the SIM cards started to deactivate and reactivate on my phone. I was on official LOS 15 and everything was so perfect.
These are the things i have tried so far -
- As its obvious i thought its a ROM issue so reflashed stock S251 from TWRP, but hard luck, the SIMS kept deactivating and reactivating here as well.
- I used fastboot adb method to reflash stock MM on my phone. Successfully flashed, network seemed OK for a while. But then it started the same thing again.
- I used fastboot adb method to reflash official S244, same thing ...
- I have tried to use 1 SIM at a time, swapped SIM slots.. same thing..
- Both SIMS have proper IMEI, Both SIMS can be used to make a call, Everything is good except that SIMS keeps activating and deactivating every 5 to 10 seconds.
If anyone has a suggestion in this regards, help would be highly appreciated.

Update *
I just reflashed MM stock using fastboot adb commands, Followed by installation of all updates via OTA till i was on S251.
Still the same issue remains. Both the SIM cards get deactivated for just a fraction of a second and then reactivate. This thing goes in loop and taking its toll on battery and my cellular connectivity.
Any suggestions or help guys ?

Ok.. Never mind people. I managed to fix it. All good now.

Instead of letting people know you managed to fix it you should rather explain how you managed to fix it. That would be more helpful to the community and anyone who faces this particular problem in the future.

I have had to eject it for it to disappear . Does any one have a fix for this issue as ive been reading its a known issue on the samsung s7 edge and mybe a software bug.

First backup your data on the pc
Then maybe you should try formatting your SD card
I once had a persistent icon for SD card and did the same

Thank you Avnish for your reply.
I have formatted my sd card afew times in the phone it self and also on pc . the phone i still get the sd card icon at the left hand side and notifications just when i open from sleep phone or restart.
i can format the sc card to internal storage and then it goes away but when i take pictures etc or apps it all gets saved to my internal storage on the Phone not the sd card. Also ive been into Camera settings to save on sd card and it is not there sd card if i format to internal storage. But if i format it on phone to portable storage the phone see's it as a external storage and i can save pics and apps etc to sd card but i get the icon and notifications. I wonder if this is a bug on the firmware. Paul

If it's a software bug then it sure is a strange one. Have you tried a different sd card in the phone? And using this SD card in a different phone? Do you get the same results in both the cases?

[Q] Help! Play doesn't recognize sd cards

Hey everyone
I recently bought an xperia play but it has only recognized my micro sdcard maybe once or twice and even then I was still unable to mount it. I know this is a common problem but believe me i've been searching and trying fixes for ages, the battery cover one, repair in se companion etc. So now I think the only thing to try is to downgrade my firmware because the times when it read the sd card was before i updated it. So any suggestions on other fixes or a how to on downgrading would be greatly appreciated bare in mind it will have to be quite in depth as I haven't hacked Sony Ericssons before just a HD2. Thanks for your help
Matt
P.S sorry if this is in the wrong thread or anything like that this is my first post.
I just went through that problem it turned out that my sd card was "damaged"or something like that and the play doesn't pick that **** up at all, so I popped it into my x10 it noticed it right away and fixed it for me. I'm still not sure what the damaged part was cause I was still able to use the card in a computer. Try it in a different phone see if it works
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Thanks for your help but yeah I tried a different sd, didn't work then i tried formatting both of the sd's still nothing and also tried them in different phones, I have no clue what else to try except downgrading and I don't know where to start
have you pushed the back cover properly into place - it has to click into place - I normally run my finger around the edge of the cover firmly just to make sure.
Normally the card won't mount or will keep un-mounting otherwise - don't know if it would say unrecognized. Maybe you formatted it in a format different to FAT32 - windows does it to bigger cards - try using EASEUS or similar partition managers
The battery cover fix was the first to come up when I started searching and i've been checking it's on securely everytime i put it on and whenever i've formatted it i've also checked that it is in fat32 but i will try a different partition manager and tell you how it goes
Thanks for the help
Tried it, still nothing
Can anybody point me towards a tutorial on how to downgrade or something because I can't find anything and I have no other ideas
Is it possible one of the notches on your back cover is broken and does not let xplay realise the back is on? If you could locate a friend with another back cover or test it in a mobile shop perhaps? Or maybe there is a way to make xplay to always believe that the cover is properly on somehow? Hope it helps
Under Settings/Storage, there is an option to Disable Safe SD Card. Try that to eliminate the cover as the problem.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
Good idea i'll check the back cover now. Also I went into settings/storage and there was nothing about safe sd card thanks anyway
Since my last post I have rooted my play and flashed back to an earlier firmware. The phone now detects the sd card but I am having a different problem instead, I am unable to mount because it says blank sd or corrupt etc. I have tried formatting the sd card on my phone and it still won't mount, any ideas?
You have tried using another SD card right?If formatting it won't work,either you have to get a new one or unfortunately,send it in to SE for repair(whatever its called) since it may be the sd card slot reader that's causing the problems.Another question,did the memory card come with your play?
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
xperia play r800x sd problem fixed
I just went thru what your going thru and found a way to fix it
in addition to my sd card not reconised my wifi and for that matter
the top status bar were not working.
you will need >A working phone with a good sd card <
1-Turn both phones off <your x-play and the other working phone>i know you do not have to unmount but>> MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS to avoid frustation ..trust me ..
2-swap the sd cards
3-pick up the working phone which now has the sd card from your x-play in it <turn it on >
4-if you get a message on the top status bar <Damaged sd card> go to settings >storage>erease sd data
5- If the format worked then it will remount the sd card in to the phone and rebuild the file system in the sd card <if it worked then you are done swap the cards back>
6- <<if it does not and you get a unsuported files on sd card or still broken>> do not swap the sd cards put down that phone and turn on your x-play with the working card from the other phone >>
7- if your x-play is working with the other sd card then replace the sd card its no good
if 5 fixed it gg
if 6 your sd card is no good

I'm using aLenovo A7000 running on ressurection remix V5.5.9 in which i don't have the option to unmount my sd card.Please suggest me a way to do it and also while transferring files from my pc on my phone...i switched my phone from a mass storage device to the'charging only'option and after that my phone doesn't get recognised at all by my pc as a usb mass storage device.... And i can't even find those options anywhere in the settings and usb debugging also isn't working.Pls help me ASAP!
My 16gb SD card also does this. Before it started though, all of my music files on it became damaged, but would still play partially, then end prematurely. I think this may just be cheap ass SD manufacturing. I say just boycott SD and get the Samsung card.
Solution / Fix:
Install Wake Lock PowerManager on google play. Enable Partial_Wake_Lock then viola! No more unmounted / eject problems. The problem is everytime your mobile is in sleep mode, the unmounting error occurs.
Also install SD Card Monitor to check the counter of mounted/unmounted/ejected sdcard.
Hope this helps.

SD card mount problem please help

I've been searching all over for a couple days now and I can't find any solution only people with similar but not exact same problem I'm having. Out of the blue a couple days ago the fat32 partition on my 32GB class10 patriot SD card unmounted and won't mount at all. However the ext4 partition mounts just fine and continues to work as it always has. I also can't plug the card directly into my PC because the adapter that came with the micro SD card appears to not work. My PC doesn't think there is an SD card in it. I tried it with a known good SD card (the 16GB samsung SD card that came with the phone. Which when inserted into the phone mounts and can be used like expected. No new apps where installed or changes made to my phone or the SD card before it stopped working correctly. The same apps and what not have been in use for as long as I have had the 32GB SD card. In fact the currently in use version of CM10.1 has been is use for the last month with no issue regarding the SD card. When I remove the card a notification shows up telling me to insert an SD card. And when I insert the 32GB card the checking SD card notification shows up an a second or two after the SD card is safe to remove notification shows up as if I had told it to unmount the SD card. If I tap on mount SD card in settings the same thing happens. And it also happens after a reboot. CWM can't mount the SD card either. What can I do to fix it so the fat32 partition is usable again?

Have you tried formatting the SD card in recovery?
As I said I can't mount it with CWM either. The card contains the data for my mSecure passwords as that app was forced to the SD card due to JB changes in android so I can't format it until I can recover the data on it. I need a solution to access the data before I can reformat it assuming that it needs to be reformatted. The SD card was supposed to be this fail safe thing and I didn't need to make backups of it as it was the backup storage stuff. So now I'm all freaking out because I can't access it for all the backed up data on top of the data for one critical app that was forced to reside on it. The good news is that only a few apps data is effected by this the bad news is those apps were all very important. I just don't understand why this has happened. And if using a cloud source such as box will be any more secure and safe than using the SD card in light of this; now I don't trust not losing data in the future on a source that was supposed to not have this sort of thing happen.
Maybe the SD card just went bad. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No problem, it's a problem no easily solved, and is a long shot finding anyone who will be able to help. I looked at dozens of sites and forum threads and all sorts of other stuff from goggle searches and couldn't find a solution to get it to mount in either the phone or on my PC to recover the data from it and find out for sure if it is a bad card or not. It might still be under warranty. If it's not I'll be ticked considering how much it cost and how little time I've had it.

Try installing Recuva on your PC, if this program doesn't work for you then you might wanna try another more advanced recovery program like R-studio v6 (Shareware) which is easy to use since it's GUI based.
or testdisk-6.14-WIP (Freeware) which includes testdisk_win.exe for partition recovery and photorec_win.exe for files and media recovery, but it's kinda complicated since it's based on Command Prompt or DOS! so you need to google for a guide for how to use it.

Wow I somehow never got notified of this post seeing as I'm just now noticing a reply from months ago. Yes I still can't mount the SD card. I took it out and returned to the stock one that came with my phone. I still have the card as I need to recover the data from it and if not possible wipe it somehow so that I can warranty exchange it. Please do let me know what your solution is so that I can try it and see if it works.
Refresh my memory on what the problem was. This was a while ago lol.

The SD card won't mount in my samsung epic and my windows PCs. This was a sudden without warning signs and with no apparent cause. One moment it was fine and the next moment poof. I was looking for a solution to gain access to the files on it to recover whatever I can and if possible repair the card so that it works again. Assuming that it's not a failure of the card itself. It is within the warranty and well within the life expectancy of it. So I suspect it is not a failure of the card itself. I have the option of using ubuntu or other USB stick bootable options for tools as needed.

Help - not reading micro sd card

I have a PNY a 64gb class 10 had this card since the phone came out,
I noticed that you could update to marshmallow by LG Bridge, so i did so, everything went smooth, however i noticed everything used to be saved on my sd card then was saved to my phone and its not reading my sd card at all.
Ive formatted the sd card through my phone by storage-sd card-settings-format- while im doing this at 20% it will say sd card is ejected but then proceeds and says its been formatted correctly.
However the phone will read the sd card only in SETTINGS-STORAGE, it will read the files on the sd card, how ever if i try and play music/movies it will not read it through my apps like mx player/poweramp.
Apps like app manger 3 - which i use to transfer apps to sd card will not read my sd card at all.
Ive tried and formatted the sd card through my phone only around 5 times and still the same problem.
any help

i would check the permission thing just to make sure.. here is a how guide for that
i dont know what you can do more than that,you could maybe try to check another microsd to check if it didnt ruined the file system on it or(or simply if the sd you have is broken) or to if it is really a OS issue...
but as it seems for now a lot of people having problem with the sd part of marshmallow...

ive tried to do permissions but it wont allow to change to sd card,
Ive reloaded phone and before it comes onto my home screen says mount my sd card, ive gone into storage - sd card- mount, restarted phone but again the same issue.
When im in camera mode the phone allows me to select where my photos will be saved (onto sd card), i can go into settings_sd card and read everything onto sd card, however its just moving apps onto sd card it will not allow.
Ive read online saying marshmallow may only allow apps to be saved on internal memory now due to previous versions off OS- was a problem with viruses being attached on apps which were saved onto sd card- was the main problem. Could it be this?, marshmallow doesn't allow this.
Use TWRP to format, that was the only solution to get my 128 GB sd card working after update again. The integrated format function always tell me success while notification said card damaged. After formatting with TWRP everything worked again
Edit: Are you sure you flashed correct patched kernel as this can disable vfat reading? Look here in forums, there is a thread about different version names for different countries (e.g. German V20a is polish version V20b)

LG G7 Camera not saving pictures, must reboot to work again?

Not sure what is going on? I'm saving pictures to the SD card and it has plenty of room? If I reboot the phone it works again without deleting anything. A few days later it happens again? I open the camera, take a picture (on Auto or Manual, doesn't matter), hear the click, if flash is on, it flashes, but the picture never shows in the Gallery thumbnail next to the button??? Going to the Gallery itself doesn't show the picture either?
However, all I have to do is turn off and on the phone and it works, until the next time it happens?
Any suggestions? I've 'cleaned' the cache and extra files and that doesn't help?

Hmm, I didn't think of that?
I've had the phone since July and the problem started late Sept? Worked fine up until then.
I'll switch it over to Internal Storage and see what happens. Think I'll take out the card and check it on a PC as well. If the card has a problem I'll take care of it with CHKDSK or get a new one I guess? Wouldn't think it was the card though as rebooting makes it work again?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be back if that doesn't fix it...

I took the SD card to the PC. It said it needed to be fixed. I let it run and after awhile it came back and found no problems? Odd? Anyway I've put it back in the phone and reset it to SD card. I'll see if it happens again. If it does, will switch to Internal and see if it happens again. I'll report back if it does happen on Internal... Not sure I trust the SD card now since Windows couldn't use it as it said it had a problem but it didn't find any when it was fixing it?
Same problem.
How do you change to" save to internal storage"?

Go to the Camera app, in its settings, under Storage.
After I 'fixed' the SD card via my PC it worked for a few days, but came back and had the problem twice rebooting each time. The card was an older 2GB card. I purchased a newer 128GB card and so far that card seems to be working fine, although not heavily used yet.
I also put a 64GB card in my wife's G7 which had none and enabled it to use the card. We'll see what happens with her phone as well.
Format?
i have the same issue. All my pictures are on my SD card and I can access them, but when I take a picture saved to the SD card, it is nowhere to be found although SD is set as default. Saving to Internal works great - so as much as I don't want to I am going to save and reformat the SD card. When I change it to SD card save setting, it is fine for one picture, then it resets itself to Internal.
