Something strange happened to my Artemis, I was charging the phone with the original charger, whilst the phone was turned on.
I may have left it charging a few hours longer even after the charge light turned green.
I removed it from the charger, then it intermitently displayed no service, and then searching for network, and remained in service for a few minutes and then it repeated the whole process for about 5 - 6 times and then it displayed "No Sim"
The sim card works on other phones, but no matter whatever sim card i put into the artemis, it still cannot detect any of them.
I tried bending the contacts up a bit to help connection, and even tried slipping paper behind the sim card to push the sim card into the contacts more
nothing worked, I am not sure what else to do other than re-flash the rom,
has anyone experienced similar problems, please. I really want to get the phone function/sim detection working again.
Cheers

how long have you had the phone? if no sim works i'd of thought the phone has had it
mine started going funny as i was switching between o2 and orange sims a lot, after a while it had difficulty finding the sim, but always worked after inserting/removing the sim a few times
i had my phone warranty repaired with o2, considering i'd already renewed my contract was surprised they still did it, but 2 years is 2 years warranty thats the only thing i can think of?
ive had this prob with my orbit,i ended up hard reseting the phone for it to recognise the sim
just got my samsung galaxy nexus, but i have a really really annoying problem: when i turn my phone on and i have to type PIN it forces me to repeat this several times although i type correct PIN. had the same problem with my htc sensation xe on pure android!
this is really annoying because it takes me like 1minute to turn my phone on. luckily it happens not always.
can anyone help? it is stock, just got it delivered
As it happened with your last phone and now is happening with a new phone, I would say its a sim card issue.
Faulty SIM

Is anyone else having radio issues with their G-pro? AT&T model here and have been having very obnoxious issues with this device. I'm familiar with the common issues of losing 3g or 4g data while in buildings and such and have always had issues with my phones while in buildings but this phone is by far the worst so far. I'm not sure if it is only a network issue or this specific phone but I can barely get it to send and receive sms inside my house. MMS, forget about it. Calls get dropped immediately when I try to make them at home, etc... Last night I was driving home and on a phone call. Over the course of the 3 hour drive I got dropped at least a dozen times. I've never had these issues with a phone. Any suggestions? Should I try to get a warranty replacement or is this normal?
Could it be your SIM card? I have only had my phone for a week and haven't had problems getting a signal. However, on my old Galaxy Note, I had a similar issue and the SIM was to blame. Have you tried turning your phone off, taking out the SIM and reinserting it to make sure it's in there fully? You could also try cleaning the contacts (the gold part on the back of the SIM).
BTW...was reading your signature and had to LOL at the part about the Nokia Lumia. I tried a Lumia and only made it a month before Android withdrawals set in--so I sold it to help pay for my OG Pro.
Haha, yeah. I liked a lot about the Windows phone but just couldn't stick with it. I'm Android through and through!!!
I'll give that a shot or maybe get into the store and get a new SIM card today. Thanks for the suggestion!
Anyone....anyone...? Bueller....Bueller...?
Swapped the SIM and didn't fix anything. Wondering if it is an issue with the phone itself.
Hi everyone,
I am having a little issue. I recently updated to KK and jut didnt like how it preformed. I .toted back to ZV7 to start fresh, this is when I noticed I had a sim card in my statusbar with a little X on it. Then I noticed that I had no LTE. I can't figure out if I did something wrong or what.
I had one of my developer friends walk me through a few things that he had to do on the G Flex, which was toting 5 or more time till that sim card was recognized, well mine still doesnt work. heck I even went into Sprint to have them check it out, and all they did was replace and scan in a new LTE card.
Could me Sim slot be turned off? or could it be fried?
I have had this issue sort of
i have had the lg g2 on sprint for about two months and i occasionally get a similar issue except it just says that there is no sim card inserted however my LTE is completely un hindered. and it would normaly correct its self after a couple reboots. is your device damaged in anyway and how long have you had the device,
It corrected itself over multi reboots. several days worth of reboots. The phone is now ongoing its 3rd week in immaculate condition. and its been babied, so no damage whatsoever.
Over the past couple weeks I've started having issues with keeping a signal.
My device d852 rooted have had multiple custom roms installed on this device. Currently on canadian telus 6.0 debloated rom.
But no matter what rom I use i get the same issue, device goes either to emergency calls only mode until i restart then only connects for a few minutes then disconnects or no sim card detected and device reboots. I have tried multiple basebands, modems etc. To no avail.
Anyone else have the same issue or fix. Please help as phone is unusable with this issue. thanks in advance.
I have a d855, using stock v30b rooted, and I've had the exact same issue. I tried several things but nothing worked. The problem comes and goes incessantly.
I tried :
-resetting
-removing and putting the sim back
-using another sim
-shimming the sim with adhesive tape
-doing a factory reset
This is very annoying. The problem appeared yesterday morning out of the blue, and I did not change a single thing. My phone had been working flawlessly for months with the same rom and configuration. If anyone can help resolving this issue it would be great.
its same happen to me . after few weeks install cm13
never been like this before. I previously used cloudyg3 1 years works great
I've searched and searched many have exact issue and still no resolution from anyone. Just trial and error, such as replacing sim, tape on sim, as a last resort replace sim tray, But issue still exists, does anyone have a resolution?
Also coming here with this same issue. I have resurrection remix mod. Sim card stopped reading on Friday.
Software related..?

Hopefully and hopefully it will be addressed. If not and I have to replace the sim tray I will be leaving the g3 behind.
Tried factory reset, same issue. Tried dirty flashing to Fulmics, but Fulmics mod would just crash phone repeatedly "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" and other messages.
add me to the group with the same problem.
d852 here.
removing si works for a bit and then out again. swapped sims and tested on another device and it worked fine.
Well I have same problem. From my experience, this problem happen when your LG G3 overheated. Not sure this is hardware or software issue (I was add small paper on SIM Card in case the SIM Card pins broken but still got this error). Also avoid restart your G3 because there is 70-90% your phone fails to detect your SIM Card. But now my G3 D855 suddenly working again with SIM Card (seems my phone restarted itself overnight and I was removed the paper on SIM Card before).
I tried cleaning Sim and area with alcohol, also bent back some of the connector pins, got it to read SIM card briefly but For SMS only, no data. then tried to fix again, stopped reading Sim card. tried to fix again, now it detects Sim card but permanently 0 service, not even sms.
my phone did overheat recently, like 1 week ago. not sure if it's related.
ill try swapping to a new Sim to see if it helps. even after bending pins back more and trying again, phone still detects SIM but permanent 0 bars. maybe new Sim will help connectors read it. current Sim card does work fine on my other old LG G3 so it's likely either phone hardware issue or phone software issue, not SIM, but maybe it will at least help the hardware read it easier with a fresh Sim.
i have another phone and could take the Sim card slot from that and swap, but I looked at videos and it looks extremely difficult. need a heat gun or soldering or something, it's not as easy as just turning screws and popping out parts.

If it yours sim connecteor just see this video it may help you.
thanks Farhan. tried this paper trick several times but didn't help at all. I also tried manually pressing down Sim card to connectors while starting up phone, no difference. I did manually bend back some pins and it helped a little but is now back to permanent 0 service.

Make sure ur sim is proberly connecting pin
did not know about that secret menu, thanks. unfortunately turning radio off and on did not help.
how can I see if pins are making connection to Sim? it's very difficult to see. bottom 4 pins seem to be making connection fine,at least they are poking up before I insert Sim, then I can't see. top 4 pins I cannot see well.

Place a piece of paper while inserting ur sim and make it tight well give give couple of minutes after power on and try *#*#4636#*#* again
I'm starting to think that this issue has something to do with some of the phone components not aging well. Since the software did not change, there must be something in the hardware that is not functioning properly. I hope we can identify the exact source of this problem, I want to keep using my G3. It's served me very well for 2 years now.
Brought phone into Verizon and got a new SIM, still no fix. Been messing with the pins and still switches between not reading at all, or reading SIM and havnig no service. At best I can get it to give me SMS service but not Data service. Not sure which pins represent which services (SMS/Calls vs Data), would be interesting to see so I could focus on just those.

stuck phone in freezer for 15 minutes and it's working temporarily. i was desperate. will continue messing with paper trick and report back.
---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------
used paper trick after it was working, paper made it actually stop working. took paper out and tried again, now its reading SMS/Voice again but no data. not sure why paper seems to make it worse, but it has happened every time.
thank you Farhan. I got Sim working with text/call but no LTE, then used the secret menu radio on and off trick you said and it turned my data back on! not sure how long it will last but I will keep this thread updated.
needed to mess with the pins a bit to have it read again in the first place
Guys it's worldwide problem with G3.
I have been suffering with signal for over 6 months now.First it started with no signal on 3g/4g network.And it all started out of nowhere.
Past three days i only get restarts and no signal even in 2g network.i might get 5 6 hours signal a day which is horrible.
From what i have read online all issues started after 2 years of using the phone.I am not saying it applies to all phones but Lg did something to screw the components after a certain time.
I have tried a few guides here in xda and no luck.i have even sent it on 3 different mobile repair services who had boxes and they told me they cant do it.
I just tested my phone with different roms, including CyanogenMod 13 and Fulmics. Same problem with all of them, which confirms my idea that this is a hardware problem.
