Hi,
My stock Nexus will display emergency calls only till i take sim card out put it in another phone then that phone will get signal and then put the sim back in Nexus and it gets signal until i go into a no signal area then i have to repeat process to get signal back.
This is really strange and a restart or just taking sim out and in again doesn't work.
After this has all been done i get full signal and its fine till i lose signal then have to start again only started happening a few days ago.
can anyone please help.
Get a new sim card? Update/switch radios?
I actually had the same error, for me switching sim cards helped.
Try it.
It sounds like its the SIM not your phone.
The sim works fine in other phones though

But the fact that the SIM doesn't work in your GNex until it's put into another phone means it's the SIM's problem... how would the GNex know that it's been put in another phone rather than just taken out and put back in?

Maybe its a dumb sim?
Really try another sim
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
k tried a Virgin sim (im on three) and that seemed to work fine so im going to ask for a another sim card from three.
Was the problem anyhow solved? It looks like I'm experiencing the same problem, but GN doesn't read my sim card that is readable in other phones and reads other sim cards.
for some random reason after 3 days it stopped doing it i think it was the three network not the phone or sim.

I just bought Galaxy Nexus from Play Store couple days ago. I inserted my Straight Talk Micro Sim and the phone saw it. It was working perfectly. After charging my phone at night, in the morning there was no signal on my phone. I tried reinserting the sim card, airplane mode, other sim cards. Even when no sim card is installed, the phone doesn't say "No sim card installed", it just stays as there is no signal. When I search for networks, I get a "Error while searching for networks" message.
What should I do? Thanks.

Micro SIM or Mini SIM? Micro SIMs are the newer, even smaller SIMs used by the newer iOS devices, the HTC One series and the Galaxy S III. This SIM is too small to be used in a Galaxy Nexus properly. A Mini SIM is the traditional SIM that we've been using for the past several years. Just wanted to clarify just in case.
As for what you should do if you are using a Mini SIM, there may be a problem with your phone, SIM or data service. I would suggest calling customer service first. Also, you could test the SIM in another phone or try to get your SIM replaced. These steps will help rule your phone out.
EDIT: And, as mtmjr90 states, double check the APN settings. These settings should have been uploaded to your phone by your SIM.
I've never used StraightTalk, but it sounds like you just need to make some edits to your APN (Access Point Name). Have you tried ST's customer service number or FAQ's?
If you can't find your answer there if in XDA, I'd recommend you try HowardForums...it's basically a community of network nerds. There should be an entire StraightTalk forum.
Edit: As JaiaV pointed out...make sure your SIM is the correct size. I use a microSIM in my GNex, but I also use an adapter to make sure it's installed properly.

I put my micro sim card in an adapter to use it with Galaxy Nexus. At first I had no problems.
For the APN, at first there was an default APN listed, I also added the Straight Talk APN for data and it was working perfectly. But now, I dont have any APN listed and I cant add any new ones.

Since you've already tried other SIM cards, re-seating the SIM, etc, it's starting to sound like something happened to the phone itself, possibly something with the SIM reader.
Seriously though, try HowardForums before trying to go through getting a warranty replacement.

about 3-5 times a day, I'm just using my phone(Verizon gnex) and it suddenly just says
no sim card detected. and it gives me an option to restart. what I usually have to do is turn it off. pull battery out. take out sim card and reinsert. then boot up to make it work.
I haven't really flashed in awhile so I don't think its my ROM problem. I've been running liquidsmooth beta 2 from the day it came out but this problem has started about a week ago.
is it a problem with my sim card? please help me fix this issue...
Either bad SIM or you have dirty/broken pins in the SIM tray. Check that then talk to Verizon.
how do I check if mine is broken?..

Well it looks pretty obvious if you see one. One or more pins are just doesn't look right if it's broken. If you haven't noticed anything abnormal about your SIM tray, I would assume that the SIM tray is fine.
Also have you dropped it recently? If you have, it might be one of the internal that is broken. This happened to me once and had to pay 150$ to repair it. If you have same problem as I had, then your signal should decrease over time and then not read the SIM at all...
If you didn't dropped nor SIM tray is fine, I'll assume there's a problem with the SIM card itself.

Sorry for the late reply but if I go to Verizon, will they give me a new sim card if I ask for one?
would they care if I'm on a custom ROM?

I'm not really sure. I think you can replace the SIM card, but I think you have to pay for it...
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I used to have that problem. Have you had the PUK password input pop up. Or sim security on?
W/ security Id have to pull the battery and pop out/in the sim after Id been on airplane or screen off for period of time

Can someone please help me i have no idea what to do, i have already:
Factory Reset
Went back to stock/Unrooted
test a normal sim not an micro if its fixed...you know whats the problem
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus
T-Mobile will give you a replacement SIM of the correct size. Try that first. Your microSIM may not be making proper contact.

Thats what i'd do.
Unless you're constantly swapping between your nexus and a phone with a micro sim slot, i'd go get a full size sim card from t-mobile.
The store can swap it immediately, and probably wont charge you.
I went to T-mobile and they gave me a replacement sim , but that didnt work so i called up samsung and i still had warrenty so i sent it in , i just hope it doesnt take too olong :/
I'm on Verizon, my SIM was a microSIM originally, it came with my Galaxy S3. I cut it down with a SIM cutter a while back to use it with a Moto X (original version), it worked fine for a long time in that phone. I just moved it over to my N5X this morning, and a few hours later the phone has twice told me that no SIM is installed. I had to remove the SIM tray and re-insert it to make it work. Anyone else having this problem?
I cut my microSIM myself freehand and haven't had any issues with it at all. Is it possible that your SIM is dirty/corroded or something? I'd be surprised if the slot on the phone was having issues already.

I actually polished the contacts a bit before putting it in the 5X. It gave me a No SIM error twice in about 3 hours, but hasn't done it in the last 6 hours or so, we'll see if it comes back. I know MicroSIMs are a little thicker than NanoSIMs, I wonder if the extra thickness caused/causes it. If it comes back maybe I'll try sanding the SIM down a bit.

I have been having this happen a couple time a week. I'm in the exact same situation being on Verizon, coming from a Galaxy S3, and I cut my micro SIM down to a nano. Did you sand your cut SIM down or get a new one? If so, did this fix the issue?

I'm still using the same SIM, the problem hasn't recurred so I haven't done anything about it. If it happens again, I plan to sand the SIM down.
Are you talking about a pop-up error, or just it saying "no sim" in the upper right hand side of the screen? I have it take a little bit to recognize after some reboots, but it always recognizes it after 5-10 seconds. I have a brand new sim from t-mobile that I have been using, so it would not be related to a cut sim or anything like that.

Yes!
I had a microSIM cut down and got the issue. Went and got a new nanoSIM still having the issue.
Annoying.

This happened to me again, so I finally just asked Verizon for a new nanoSIM and now it's been a week or so with no problems.
I to am on Verizon. And had my sim cut since I am coming from the g4. And have it pop up saying no sim twice. And I removed the sim and reinstalled it and rebooted the device and usually works. But i hope its just something that will work itself out
Yes it's been doing this for a week since I've had my Nexus 5X, I just had to reboot it to have the sim recognized again. And this morning it says "no sim card" no matter what I do. If i remove the sim and plug it back in, sometimes it will work and last for a minute and then again "no sim card". I'm really pissed. I'll try the sim in another phone to see whether or not the problem comes from there.
So question for Verizon ownwers. I got a nano sim card but need to activate it. Can I activate it with a Verizon phone even if it uses a micro sim? Only ask because I came from the g4 and I cut it but I'm trying to get this nano activated to try and eliminate the no sim.

I just called customer service to activate the sim card and then popped it into my phone. They didn't give me any trouble.
They don't need to activate the sim card to a phone or need an imei?

I called Customer Service and got them to send me one by telling them that I was going to by a Verizon HTC One M9 from a friend. Then when I got the SIM, I just called them again and they activated it for me no problem. I don't remember them asking me for which phone again.
I have seen in other threads on here where people have said that Verizon will activate the SIM card in store even if you tell them its for the Nexus 5X; so, activating over phone or in store should be no problem.
I've been using the fire as a secondary phone with a payg sim. My other phone is now broke so I've got a contract sim in the fire. It's constantly saying no sim or searching. It'll pop up as if it has a signal and display lte or 3g for a while but quickly revert to no signal. I've restarted, reinserted many times. Don't really want to factory reset. Can't remember if previous sim had same error as I didn't use it enough back then. Don't suppose Amazon have stocks to replace if it turns out to be hardware issue. Anybody else had similar issues?

I've found the sim slot is very unforgiving to cut sim cards. I had a micro sim that I trimmed to nano. While it worked fine in other phones, it gave me nothing but grief in my fire phone. I eventually gave in and bought a proper nano sim and haven't had any trouble since.
Try a sim from a friend to be sure it is the phone and not the sim card.
Always power the phone down before installing a new sim, because it needs to setup the provider settings.
The sim is nano not cut down. Yeah, I'll try another sim before getting onto Amazon.
Thanks.
