Hello . I have a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus ..
Yesterday i was using my phone normal .. as usual and after a cuple of messages and phone calls i put it in my pocket .
i cecked it after a cuple of hours and my sim wasn't working.
i was using stock rom JB4.2.2.
i mention that only one carrier sim card's doesn't work .. if i put another sim from another carrier it work's normaly ..
did anyone had this problem before?
please help me.
sorry for my english/I'm from romania. !
I dont think anyone here can help you. It sounds like an issue with the card itself. Sounds like you should replace it.

If that's the case then I don't know. I'm on a carrier specific phone so I can't switch between multiple carriers. I'm not familiar with that. My understanding on that was that you just put the Sim in and you're good to go. I don't know of you have to activate anything. Maybe it just takes a little bit to actually get the signal. Have you switched them out before without issues?

Did you get the iPhone new or used? Could it have Been blacklisted by the specific carrier?

Hi folks, I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus running Android Jelly Bean (4.1.1). Since I bought it, with ICS, and even now it has had the same problem: whenever I start a call or answer one, it immediately changes to 2g (I checked on settings, sometimes it's gprs, sometimes EDGE, but always 2g). This results in poor call quality and in several cases, dropped calls. When I'm not on a call, the 3G works fine and fast.
I checked this forum and didn't find any question regarding this matter, does any one has the same issue or it's just my phone? Is it a bug or is it meant to be this way?
Thanks,
Definitely not meant to work that way. I'd talk to your carrier. Might be a network or SIM problem.
Thanks, apparently my carrier (Personal Argentina) doesn't have a clue why this is happening. I'm gonna change sims and update if there are any changes

Try asking your carrier for another sim, it did the trick for me.. Before doing that, try asking a friend another sim to check if that's actually the problem

nope.
Not sure why you even think it would work. There is no GSM radio in the phone.

Unfortunately the technology that Verizon and AT&T use for their networks are different and not compatible with each other. GSM phones (AT&T, T-Mobile) can be used on different networks but CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) are usually only able to operate on the network they are sold on. CDMA technology is a bit strange because you can't even switch devices between Sprint's and Verizon's networks.

That Sim card slot is to provision LTE.

Because misinformed users often think a sim slot indicates the phone is GSM based. Even now, a lot of people are shocked and appalled when I tell them my Verizon phone needs a sim card.

that sim slot is verizon LTE bands only.
so let me make this clear
The Verizon Nexus will NEVER work on any GSM carrier. period. end of story.

we did say no and then you questioned us. thats when you get a more jerk filled answer.
IDK why your bashing him, he didn't say," nooooo it does work on AT&T!"
He said after you said no,"It has a sim card slot why wouldn't it work?"
All you got to do is answer that question. This is XDA, not BAA(Be an ass).
If he has a question just answer. End of story. Ik this is an obvious answer and he could've dug harder on Google, but who cares whatever, just answer it.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Thank you very much dude this is a perfect example of a good dude

Hey. Sorry im really for the Verizon forum but I have a quick question. Im about to root my friends phones who are about to go back to bolivia and I was wondering if this would be needed at all or is the at&t phone already global ready meaning they can just put a sim in the phone and it would function perfectly?

Rooting doesn't unlock the phone... His phone won't work on other carriers unless it is network unlocked.. Completely different from rooting.

Also in the forums in here are the instructions to do just that as well. The unlocking can be done without root from what I remember.

It also depends on the frequencies Bolivia uses. If it's the same as the US/Canada, it should be fine. But as others had mentioned, make sure the phone is carrier unlocked to you can slap on a SIM card and rock and roll.
hey sorry about the late response but how do you go about getting a phone carrier unlocked?

Guys I have gnex 4.2 updated.
Recently I got a serious problem . I went into some basement. Signals drop down. I thought It might be due to basement but soon I came to know that mobile is not detecting any mobile signal any more.
Meaning mobile is not detecting the sim anymore
i have checked the sim in another mobile and its working fine there.
i have installed another sim in mobile .. still not working
.
i have performed factory reset that it might help out but in vain
what might be the reason . please help

The only thing comes to my mind regarding this if you guys tried other sims on the same phone if all of them don't work that will be most prolly your sim jack broken or some other issue with antenna other than that nothing comes in my mind.
Try other sims trying changing rom and if not get it checked.
Hello guys.. how are you? I am new on this forum.. I have a problem with my Galaxy s4. When I insert the sim, after that it again demands for the sim. I don't know how to solve this problem. White signals are present near the battery but I am unable to use the service of sms and calls. Any solution related to this problem will be appreciated. Thanks!

The SIM itself could be bad.
Have you tried going to T Mobile and getting a replacement SIM?
Do you know anyone else with a T Mobile phone who could lend you their SIM for 2 minutes to test it? If you get the same results with another SIM the phone is the problem. If you don't, the SIM card itself is the problem.
Are you rooted? What ROM are you running?
If it's the stock unrooted ROM I'd say don't mess with it yourself. Go right to a T Mobile store and tell them to give you a new SIM.
I second that. I would also check to see if the SIM is in backwards. Someone may have just cut the micro SIM wrong as well. Good luck. :thumbup:

I have tried all the other sims, but there is the same error... I think that there is SIm-jacket problem.. It is destroyed as far as I think.. I should go for a change of sim card reader..
