Hi Guys,
Recently my phone has been receiving this message every now and then and I'm unable to make/receive any calls/texts. Fortunately wifi still works. Occasionally it will say something like "new sim card or sim card not found" <= something along those lines. It's basically not recognizing my sim card sometimes. This problem sometimes end when I turn off the phone, and charge till full battery, but it eventually gets the problem again at the end of the day.
Some things to be noted:
-Yes my phone IS rooted, so I'm pretty much f*cked for warranty.
-I changed numbers recently, from a Toronto (416) to a Waterloo number (226) as I am a university student living on campus.
-Yes I tried reverting to the original rom via nandroid backup but the problem still persists.
-Got the phone about a month ago.
-Started having these problems after living in Waterloo for a while.
Hopefully, it is a sim card problem but if anyone else has any suggestions I'll be grateful =)

Hi
I replaced my P3300's screen a while ago because it was cracked. Everything seemed to go OK and the phone worked fine for a few days.
I don't know if this is related or not (maybe I messed the antenna up during the process, but since it worked for a while afterward I'd guess not...?)
Anyway, for the last couple of days I've had no network reception whatsoever.
The last time I remember it working was in the evening a few days ago. I fell asleep with the WIFI on and woke up with the phone dead. I turned it on and it didn't ask me for my PIN like it usually does, and it couldn't find my GSM network. It's been like that since.
When I press the green "dial" button nothing happens. When I go into settings > telephone, it asks me for my PIN and I can then access the options but it doesn't find any networks when I search.
Now every time I turn it off and back on, it never asks for my PIN.
I've tried removing the battery and the sim card but that hasn't helped.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance
Meh. On a possibly maybe related note, I've just realised my PocketCM Contacts hangs when I try to launch it. Could it be a loose sim card connection causing both these problems? Although I'm pretty sure all my contacts are on the phone and not the sim card, and the sim looks fine and is placed properly...
edit - just been into programmes > sim manager (not sure that's what it is in english, my phone is french) and I get a "sim busy" error message (again, not sure if that's exactly what it is in english...). Hmmmmm
Well it gets even weirder... It seems I can receive and send text messages!
I've been getting texts from my operator saying I have new voice messages (which I obviously can't listen to) and I've also had texts from a friend and been able to reply to them and they've been received. Even though the icon at the top still has an exclamation mark so supposedly no network.
My iGo GPS also doesn't seem to work anymore (it hangs during initialisation process) although Tomtom works fine.
Someone please tell me they have an idea what could be going on! This is doing my head in
Dam, you have all my solidarity man!
Are you using radio 3.39.90 by chance? Even if not I would still flash another radio.I also suggest to check that your device was correctly reassembled if you have any doubt about it.
Hello! I don't know why but my phone started having this problem. It was out of nowhere. Well, maybe not, I've flashed my phone with the official mango update like two weeks ago, and it was working fine.
And today I saw that that I messages doesn't send out. I tried to call/text myself from other phone, and I couldn't. Phone displays gsm network name in phone hub, and also it shows full gsm connection bars(five of them), so you couldn't tell that something is wrong until you try to text or call. When you call the phone says "dialing..." but this shows forever and there's no sound from the speaker. It's worth mentioning that I've received few messages I've send to myself, but just about 2hours from sending, and then I tried to send a few more and haven't received those. Also, I've suceeded to call for a few times but after a long long wait(like at least 30sec) with the "dialing..." message shown. However, I cannot reach the phone when calling from my other phone.
I've tried to turn my phone on/off, to take the battery/sim card off, reseting the device, but none of these things helped. Then I've decided to flash my device. I've flashed my phone with DeepShining Mango custom ROM, and it seems to be working fine, but the problem still exists.
I don't know what else to do. And that's a major problem, because noone can call or text me. As I've said in the beginning, it was out of the sudden, I haven't done anything to my phone. Just yesterday I was using my phone normally, texted and called with no problem.
So I'm asking yours, guys, help. Could you please suggest what I could do? Thank you very much!
P.S. I've bought this phone from second hand and it was unlocked, but it has an orange logo on the battery cover, so I suppose it was locked to orange.
Did you pay your bill?
I have a prepaid card.
Ok, do you have a another SIM to test
I saw a topic almost the same as mine but I don't really understand what they're all saying as I am an Android Noob.. I think my case is different because I upgraded my phone without using the leaked one..
I just upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to 4.3 last Tuesday, 12/24/13 and today, I noticed that I can't send and receive SMS and Calls on my phone. I don't know if the problem is my phone or my sim card. I tried restarting the phone and reinserting the sim. I almost tried everything. I can't try a new sim because I have no extra micro sim in my house.
When I send a text, it says "currently unable to send your message. it will be sent when the service becomes available" then it goes on a message loop. When I try to call someone, it says "Not registered on network". The signal bar is full though.
Is there a way to solve this issue without having to root my phone? I still have it on warranty and I can't really follow complicated instructions since I'm new to Android.
if there is really no way of solving this issue, then i'll go to the SSC. however, i really want to fix this alone cause' i'm pretty sure that they'll wipe off everything from my phone. if wiping every off of my phone will solve the issue, than i guess i'll just have to give it to SSC.
Thank you.
Hello everyone,
I've been searching the web high and low about an issue I'm having. This past Saturday I lost signal and I cannot understand why. It was working fine that morning as I had received a call at 10:30. About an hour later, I checked to see if I had any msg's, etc, and I noticed I had no signal. I checked my IMEI and it's /00 and that is it. 1. I'm wondering how can a phone simply just lose its IMEI in such a way. It wasn't dropped or anything. Actially it was laying on my bed when this occured. I've had marshmellow on it for close to a month with zero issues. 2. Is it possible to resolve this?? Every method I have found I have tried and yet, the IMEI, or lack there of is still stating /00. I've reverted it back to stock to no avail, and just this morning RErooted it and still nothing. It does show bars and if I move from place to place, it will go to like 3 bars, or 2 bars or back to all bars as though the phone knows the sim card is there, but no data connection nor can I make calls. I also got a new sim card thinking my old card went bad, but I'm getting the same issue. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
I apologize ahead of time in case there is a thread already that relates to this issue, and if there is I haven't found it yet.
Hi everybody! Long time reader, first time poster. Just this morning I updated my phone with the June update. Nothing special, have had my phone since January and had monthly updates. However, with this particular update I hit a snag. I got home from work, proceeded to let it update while I slept. I woke up and was greeted with a emergency calls only service. Couldn't dial or text out. So I rebooted the phone only for it this time to say, no Sim detected despite the fact that I've never once removed the Sim. I think the update messed something up. Or I have a faulty Sim card? Or reader? Any ideas or has any body had something similar to then happen? Is this even the right place to be asking this? I'm fine with buying a new Sim card, I just don't want to of I can help it. Thanks in advance!!

Probably coincidence your SIM went bad. Emergency calls only is what I used to get when I was just testing the 5x with no SIM inserted.
Just try with another friend's sim (same carrier if course) and verify it.
Works=>change your sim
Does not work=> warranty to chabge your device.
