Have any Glide owners seen this? My wife's Glide was replaced at an AT&T warranty center recently (home,back,menu, and search buttons stopped working) and every once in a while I see the no network icon on the phone. I go to Mobile Networks and the no SIM card message popup appears. After several power off, take out/put back in SIM card, power up phone attempts the phone eventually sees the SIM card and all is well. I do notice that the SIM card does slide in/out very easily. I put in a small piece of paper to keep the SIM card snug, hopefully that will fix the problem. Anyone else experience this problem?

I had an issue with this before try to tape the sim card in place see if that helps
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
Tried the tape and still got the sim card error message after a day or so. I went to the AT&T warranty center and they put in a new SIM card. The phone works fine now and hopefully will stay that way. The tech put a note in our acct of the SIM card issue in case it pops up again.
Also, FYI.... Samsung Kies does NOT work when you have the SIM card error message (for backup/restore). Kies just spins the "Connecting..." status forever. I spent a few hours selecting the troubleshoot button that reinstalls the drivers, uninstall/reinstall Kies, installed Kies on another laptop, etc...nothing. The moment the SIM card issue was resolved, Kies connected just fine. The Glide also seems to like to enable USB debugging mode on its own, which disables the MTP connection that is required by Kies. fun.
It would be nice if Kies threw a "Cannot connect, no SIM card detected" message...
I have the same issue. My glide came refurbished and about once every two or three days I will notice that the phone is no longer recognizing the sim card. I have to take the battery out and take the sim card out. Then i have to put the sim card back in and then the battery and turn it on and its fine for another few days. I have had 3 different sim cards and it still does the same thing. AT&T just refuses to acknowledge that its not the sim card.

I have the same problem where ICS will just not read a sim card. I have tried multiple carriers SiM's and none of them work. Does anyone know how we can force Android to read and then request a SIM. It is not a problem of the SIM not being seated properly since it was working directly before the ICS upgrade and when I downgraded the first time it read my SIM without a problem.
I have not yet had any problem like that, I have had issues with data and wifi, but later found that it was the software I used before for battery management had an update that shut off those services and have fixed.
SIM card errors though, I only got 1 once but that is because the simcard holder in my phone seems loose and it wiggled out once and after that was nothing a gentle squeeze couldn't fix.
Samsung SGH-i927:
ICS Leak I927UCKL1 4.0.4 Stock
CWMR Touch v4.0.0.1
Keyboard fix
Superuser 3.2r3 ARM Optimized
LiteKernel v5.2
quick update, so far so good with the new SIM card. no sim card errors
spoke too soon! got the sim card error this evening. went to the AT&T warranty center again and got a replacement phone. this one better work.
SIM card error mesage again with phone #2. so far:
1) new phone, same SIM card, same battery
2) same phone, new SIM card, same battery
3) new phone, same SIM card, same battery
I'm starting to think this might be a cell tower issue since the other problem with this phone is that the phone would sometimes not ring or show any missed calls. maybe now it throws the SIM card error instead??
the mrs is going to go to the warranty center again to try to get a new battery and charger. we'll see.
final summary, new battery and still get the sim card error. AT&T is sending a Galaxy S2 skyrocket as a warranty replacement. My wife tried out swiftkey 3 and is willing to make the jump to a touchscreen keyboard.
Sorry to bump an old thread, BUT, a factory reset fixes the issue. My wife had this problem. It occurs if the SIM card is ejected by accident for any reason while the phone is on. The simcard does not lock in at all so I can only assume she bumped it just right. I got a full replacement phone from ATT, and while messing with it while on, the simcard fell out. After turning it off and putting the sim back in, the same problem occurred on a brand new replacement. A factory reset solved the issue.
I was googling about this and saw this thread. Figured I'd add my 2 cents, and what solved it, but I am still replacing the sim just in case.
So about a week ago my note 2 started to not recongnize my sim card and so i went to the local store to see if my sim card had broken so he gave me a new sim card and I put it into my phone and it still says no sim inserted. So i assumed it wast the reader that had gone wrong and i bought the part to replace and one i had and looked up a video on how to do it. Well i think i did it correctly as nothing else on the phone went wrong but it still says no sim inserted even with the new reader, so now i am pretty clueless as to what the problem could be. Is there anything that i can do to fix it or is it more internally like the motherboard or something? Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated.
Thanks
Tried putting another sim card in my unlocked note 2, then replaced my sim which is I inside an adaptor to allow a nano sim to fit....alas I am now constantly getting the message no sim.
Have reflashed back to stock, reset, even tried another sim card still the same no sim, even though my imei number etc is in tact, please help

your problem is hardware, not software.
you busted your sim module. you have to buy a new sim module. probably one of the small metallic pins caught the hinges of your adaptor when you pulled it out.this is why your sim is no longer read after pulling out your sim.
Thanks for that, that's what it seems like, needs a new sim tray, apparently £35 fitted, so not to bad
Hello, did some searching and found nothing quite like my situation so I decided to post a new thread.
I have the Galaxy S4 for T-Mobile. Model: SGH-M919.
So my phone worked great for awhile (I bought it almost brand new from a 3rd party for $350) but then the next thing I knew it gave me an error message saying "SIM card not inserted" or something very similar. Anyways, got a new SIM card, no worky , my old SIM works in other phones. Did a master reset, didn't fix the issue.
My SD card which is inserted into the same part as the SIM card gets inserted into works just fine. So I replaced the entire SIM reader and SD reader part with a brand new OEM part. Still nothing. Now i'm wondering if there is a software or some other fix for this issue.
P.S. I really don't want to pay Samsung $650 for a phone. I just want mine fixed.
Thank you :good:
For a little comtext: My wife. And purchased an LG Nexus 5, each, via Google ProjectFi about 9 months ago. We have been happy with the service and aside from little issues (like no audio hardware buttons after recent upgrade in December 2016 on the Android Beta Program; we have been happy.
My wife, today at work, messages me (via WiFi) that her phone said "No SIM cars detected". When she got he we took out her SIM card and re-inserted. Then restarted to no avail. So then I opened the phone app and ended "*#*$4636*#" to enter Testing. Her settings where the same as mine (my Mobile network was working).
So, I took out my SIM card and inserted her's into mine.. And it worked! So it wasn't a bad SIM card.
My next step was to use my SIM card holder and use it with her SIM card in her phone (and use her holder with my SIM on my phone). Well then! It works both of us and now I have no one that works. All I can think of is that the slot where you insert the SIM card on her phone us warped and nine is in perfect condition condition.
If anyone has any theories, please let me know. Aside from that, I hope that helps someone.
(I'm sure there are duplicate threads- this thread is a tad different as I explained briefly the problem with my quick resolution/solution).-bj
