[Q] SM-T211 (GSM) - How to - SIM? - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have plugged the sim card into my tablet but as far as I can see it doesn't even recognize it ?
Phone is bought at the same carrier where I got that mini sim?
Do I need somehow to activate that port or what?
Thanks

Hi,
my Tab 3 8.0 lte didn't need any sim activaton.
I just put in the sim and when the tab was powerd on, it asked for pin code.
Is it possible the card is uppside down?

Sorry for late response. It was my fault.
SIM card is new, and It's not asking for PIN by default, and it wasnt registering on the network because no network profile was SELECTED.
I had profiles, but they didnt had DOT on the right side (they didnt had selection dot).
Now everything is perfect

:good: I'm glad You got it working...

[Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows

[Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows
Hi,
I'm in the Philippines. I bought a Note N7105 last week (not from my provider) and installed 4.1.2 with baseband N7105DXDLL1. All good until a few days ago I received my LTE card from GLOBE Telcom.
Now I have a problem. I can make calls and send SMS using the card but when I try to enable data services it tells me "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services", and will not enable data or let me see anything under "Mobile Networks".
I have tried a different Globe LTE SIM card (my son's) and the same thing happens.
If I put this LTE SIM into my Galaxy S II (Baseband = I9100XXLPX), it runs fine (but 3G of course). So it's not a faulty SIM card.
I was wondering if the problem might be the modem ? Any ideas ?
Globe runs LTE Band 1800
thanks
Could it be the modem ?

Have you try changing network mode under settings - wireless (more) - mobile network - network mode
If you set it to utms/wcdma doest it works?
(Sorry I just assuming and here in India we don't have lte and never seen menu of mobile network in lte version)

When the SIM is inserted, the whole mobile settings menu becomes unavailable, because the phone thinks no SIM is inserted (even though calls and SMS works).
UtkarshGupta suggests its the APN not the modem so I'll look into that too.
For now, I have a new problem - the SIM slot is broken, due to using one of those stupid Nano adapters, because my provider does not have micro SIMs. So until I get that replaced, I can't try anything !
Re: [Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows
Yeah could be modem as well

Hi
I'm from the philippines just as you. I'm also using globe's LTE and recently have bought a note 2 (N7105). My note 2 works perfectly. But a few days ago, my friend who was interested in getting the same phone that I have, decided to buy one. We went to the same store hot gadgets to buy another phone exactly like mine N7105. We encountered the same problem as you. All other simcards would work except for my Globe LTE sim. It seems like its a new batch of note 2s from their supplier abroad. What i noticed about the new batch that arrived is that it was previously locked to a foreign network and just unlocked. the box also has a "cityzi" logo which is a carrier in france. the seller claims that all their units are locked and just unlocked.
but i believe that the batch i got was factory unlocked in the first place because there is no logo on the box and no logo when starting up and turning off the phone.
I have a feeling that it may be a firmware related problem. what i would like to ask if you have tried updating the phone to the current DMC3 firmware. you can read up about it.
there is a forum on tipid cp on n7105 sadly im just a new user on xda so i cant post the link. just search for it.
if you check sammobile.com there is an n7105 firmware for the philippines. im not sure if flashing it with this new firm ware would fix the problem. i flashed my phone with it and it worked fine but im not sure if a previously locked phone would create problems when updating firmware. maybe some people in the forum could help. thanks.

Hi, Yes I flashed the firmware N7105XXDMC3_N7105OLBDMD1_GLB and now my note 2 works fine with Globe LTE. I found details on this site http://wccftech.com/update-galaxy-note-2-lte-n7105-xxdmc3-android-412-jelly-bean-official-firmware/

This is an English only forum. Ask in English if you want an answer. Also, this section is for the Note 2. Ask again in the S3 section, in English.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
big thanks to this thread! i had problems with my N7105 from HK as well but now it works fine on Globe LTE!
only problem i encountered was downloading the file which was 1GB, kept failing to download until this morning hehehe. :highfive:
Hi everyone. Might there be a torrent for the firmware file? Download keep terminating on my side. Thanks guys
Hi!
First I want to thank you for pointing out that only XXDMC3 will work with GLOBE LTE.
I think it is the SIM card itself because I have an AT&T i317 Galaxy note 2. First I wasn't able to get it to work. Same issues with you. Can call, text, but will not allow me to access mobile services.
I also tried flashing it with the modem from here (XXDMC3 (Philippines / Globe) N7105DXDMC1_modem_GLB) you can use this modem if you have the N7105
I misread the instructions and had a bootloop. But was able to reflash the stock AT&t firmware.
So instead of going that route, I downloaded this International ROM for ATT Galaxy note 2 As it is already XXDMC3 baseband.
It works very well. But I still have to wait for the activation of my LTE to see if that really works. But now I can access the menu's and H+ works on my phone.
This is using the Stock AT&T Modem.
I hope this helps folks with international phones and want it to work with GLOBE LTE.. =)
This firmware works fine with globe, but not so sure about Smart. A Smart prepaid SIM works fine, but a postpaid SIM does not work at all, not even for calling / texting. Smart are unable to explain why this would be the case. They made up some BS story about the phone being locked to Globe (a 7105 International edition !!) I was not able to test it fully because I sold the phone, so I can't say for sure it was a firmware issue. But we tried several Smart postpaid SIMS and all did not work. Just throwing it out there.

[Q] phone turn off when sim inserted

Hi. i have unlocked Sony Xperia Ion LT28at.Was using it for couple of months but recently phone start shutting off, first battery lower than 30% but now even with 100%. Found out that it only when tmobile card is inserted. Tried my wife's card ,the same. without card phone still works and also when I inserted att card .I also just did factory reset Like I said phone worked perfect until like a week ago.
I just make factory reset and tried to play with the phone with different sims i collected over years. It works perfectly with Orange, Play,Cingular,ATT sims, but when I put old prepaid tmobile, it is shutting off again.

Old sim's do that. They short circuit your phone, because they are old. Don't use it, or change it with a new one.

It may be so, but the same sim card work without the problem in another phones and the 12 year old cingular card does does not cause the problem, only tmobile cards. My daughter card is like a year old and it is causing shut down also.

Call tmobile and let them know about the sim problem.
Someone says that it is a "safety" measure built in the system.
I'm not sure about that though.
Ok right now I reflashed the phone with current firmware, there is no programs installed. tried old sim cards from Orange,cingular, ATT and one more company I think Play, all works with the phone no shutting down. Then I tried my old prepaid Tmobile then my daughter's and my wife's tmobile cards all of them are shutting it down within a minute. I am using replacement unlocked samsung and have no problem with my sim card , same my wife's tmobile samsung and my daughther HTC oneS. Have only problem when I want to pair sony ion with any tmobile sim.
Try to disable the PIN CODE just for a few minutes. See what that goes.

Don't know exactly what a pin code is, but just re-flashed the phone to LT28i, did not helped. phone still shutting off.
I had the same problem too.This worked for me:
1.Open your phone without sim
2a(Ice cream Sandwich):Then Go to the settings->more->mobile networks->Network mode or 2b(Gingerbread) Settings>Wireless and networks>Mobile networks>Network Mode
3:And change network mode to WCDMA only(this worked for me).
4:Insert your Sim and restart your phone
If "WCDMA only" doesn't work you can try "GSM" only.
Old thread but I hope someone else gets helped by this.
For everyone
if it still interests you, I have a simple solution that works for everyone

I'm not sure at 100% that it ll work for u but i personaly tested it and worked fine
so you just have to activate the pin code on security and location setting
but the SIM card must be inserted to activate the pin code
If you never activated the pin code, then the default code must be 0000
if the phone turn off before u get acces to the setting menu so u have to
- boot without the sim
- turn on flight mode
- power off and insert the sim card
- boot with sim
- after this follow the above instructions
- reboot and after u enter the pin code turn off flight mode and see if the phone shutdown or not
- if it shutdown try to go back on setting and set mobile network to use gsm only
if u don't understand reply !
I hope it work for u
Is there any solution to this problems? Previous suggestion is not work..
- When insert sim card, the phone will shut down when try to search the network.
- The phone will not shut down if switch on without sim card
- But if the phone was connect to the charger, it can switch on with the sim card.
I don't think the battery is bad...

I just realize that, the problem is went want to search th 2G (GSM network). My area did not have 3G (the phone have poor 3G reception). So, the phone need to be in 2G mode, so it keep going shut down.
The problem is simple. The battery contacts need to be cleaned. Use a cotton swab, damp it with rubbing alcohol and clean the battery contact on both the battery and of the phone. The rubbing alcohol is safe for the metal contacts. Install the battery back and turn the phone on. This took care of in my case. Avoid touching these contacts as they're sensitive.
Amazing workaround!

Amazing! This is a great workaround. The reason is actually batteries getting faulty. I moved to 110V country from 220V and used a voltage transformer in front of adapter to charge the phone. It did something bad with the batteries. Though phone works fine when on charging- no shut down. It shuts down only when I try to place a call. Also I now charge it via laptop usb and disabled the fast charging and I think that also made batteries a bit better as phone is not switching off that frequently as it used to be. So also see how u are charging the batteries

Please insert SIM Card

Hey Guys,
just recieved my Tablet today (LTE Version) and tried some stuff.
But all the time there is a notification about insertig a SIM Card, which is annoying.
At the moment I don't have another SIM Card, since the one i have is in my Phone, but i already wrote to my Carrier.
Till I get a SIM from them (which is not sure yet), is there a possibility of disabling this notification?
I know that there is no SIM, so why does the Tab need to tell me all the time?
Btw, it does not go away after going into Flight Mode.
Thanks for your Ideas and Solutions!

[Q] P605 - annoying "No Sim" notification. How to remove?

Hi guys.
I recieved my SM-P605 today, and I'm using it without a sim card.
Is there a way to disable the annoying No Sim notification, because I don't use LTE at all? (I don't even have an extra sim card).

Now does anyone know how to get rid of the flight mode icon?
I don't know where you live, but why don't use a prepaid card? Just to have one.

Without to root your device it is probably not possible. If rooted you can do it with wanam Xposed module. (besides of many other useful modifications).:good:

Replace the original SD+ Sim flex with SD flex from SM-P600 ( wifi ), it has a SD reader and dummy space for SIM slot.
So it won't bother you with this notification as no SIM reader connected to mainboard.
LTE and Wifi parts are interchangeable. For example, I install a wifi mainboard SM-P600 to an LTE tablet like SM-P605 or SM-P607 without problem, except rear camera.
Rear camera of wifi model has to go with wifi mainboard, all other parts no need to change.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...628736?hash=item4404856b40:g:T1sAAOSwblZZLGBI
I can downgrade an LTE to Wifi model with ease, applied to all Samsung tablets: LTE is upgrade version of Wifi with added SIM reader , antenna, and chips for cellular signal.

Locked SIM card

Hello guys!
I have a phablet Cube WP 10 with a locked SIM card (No service status). I already installed InteropTools_2.0.95.0 and searched in the registry of OS using the Interop Registry browser, but couldn't find any parameter related with a the SIM card and its status.
What should I do to unlock the SIM? May be there is another trick without using the registry?
Attention! Added information: The SIM card works with another phone and this phone sees it, but can't use the cell network - "No service" when calling...
Which carrier is the sim card from? What do you mean sim card lock? SIM card has a pin enabled?
Try putting the sime card into another phone yet?
You won't unlock locked phone to use SIM from another carrier by modifying registry. There is no such a thing.

No service
The SIM card works and the phone sees it, but can't use the cell network - "No service" when calling...
If you purchased your cube for a specific operator, you must call this operator to have the unlock code.

I thought the Cube WP was an unlocked device.
If the SIM sees no network that means the sim is not compatible. I am not sure what the problem is exactly.
I've changed current SIM card to the SIM card of another cell-operator, but nothing has changed. And what is important to mention, I can't find any cell-network of my region using the network search. May be it's some kind of lock?

maybe, simply the phablet has a hardware issue - most probably antenna has been disconnected from the motherboard
I have sim cards that if they are deactivated will get no service when inserted into a valid phone they can work on. Are you using an active sim? If so maybe look at this link as there are some service codes to try maybe...but make sure to read any warnings. Not sure if any of them work either.

Both these sim cards are active because they works with other phones.
Thanks for this link, but these codes destined for Android OS and don't work on WM10 except first one.
Wad worth a shot anyway.
