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.

Alright, here's my issue. I got the phone unlocked about three months ago, worked perfectly. I get great signal with AT&T, always have. I don't have a data plan or anything, phone gets wifi fine.
One day I stopped getting cell service. It appeared on the phone as the circle with the line through it. I thought it was odd since I always get good signal. Still got wifi fine. Took the SIM out and put it in my nokia, full bars. Tried playing around with the APN settings, nothing. Reformatted the phone, nothing.
Went and talked with an AT&T guy and he gave me a new SIM card. He put it in my phone, unactivated, and it worked great, showed up with full service. Once he activated the SIM, it went back to saying no service. It doesn't say no SIM, just that I don't have any signal at all.
When I take the SIM out and power on the phone, I get the no SIM error and it shows that I have full signal. Once I put it in, nothing.
Right now I am just using it as a wifi device. I am not really sure what I should do, and I can't return the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
my wife's Glide is getting the same problem behavior as outlined in this thread. With a new phone, new SIM and new battery we see the no network icon and Service State=unknown in phone status. No sim card error anymore, just no network. I'm going to take the phone in to the warranty center for another new battery and SIM card. I'm not optimistic. Add to that ever since we got the Glide, the phone would not ring or show missed calls sometimes when people really did call.
The AT&T warranty center offered my wife a different phone (new) as a replacement, but the Glide is the only decent Android phone with a keyboard and she has to have a keyboard.
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 guys,
I hope this is the right forum. My wife has been having issues with her LG Optimus G E971. The phone reboots every 15 minutes or so due to a sim card dislodge error. I tried restarting, re-inserting but nothing has worked so far. Also, her phone has been unable to connect to WIFI for the past few days. The phone is on a authenticate and saving loop and wont connect for some reason. Hoping anyone can give tips or help regarding this issue. The phone is stock, locked to Rogers.
thanks
I am having the same problems with WiFi every once in a while. Seems to just go away after several retries, or after restaring the phone. I have no idea what's causing this. Luckily, it doesn't happen often, and is not a huge issue...
As for the SIM card issue, it seems like a mechanical problem to me. Did you cut the card yourself (it can be tricky), or was it an original micro-SIM? It may be a loose fit of the card to the tray, if dimensions are off. Otherwise, it may be a problem with contacts, or the tray itself could be loose in the socket. In these cases, professional service (warranty?) is probably your best bet, unless you are comfortable fiddling with it yourself. I can tell you that getting to the guts of the SIM card socket of the OG is not exactly a trivial task...
Thanks for your response Froggy. I tried connecting the LG to my HTC one via wifi-hotspot and it worked. So, it appears the problem is communication between the LG and the router I guess. Not sure where to go from here though. I also tried reinserting the sim tray and no problems so far. Hopefully the problem just goes away.
I bought my note 4 on launch day. Ever since then I've had an "unable to detect sim card please restart phone" error. At first it only showed up once every few days, but now it is getting more and more frequent and is happening multiple times a day. After reading starting the phone works fine for a while. I've done everything I can think of (pulling the battery, pulling and re inserting the sim, cleaning the sim), but nothing helps. Anyone else having this issue, or know of a solution? Thank you.

I am having the same issue. Not sure of a fix yet but it is getting more and more frequent which worries me.
Same here. :sadface:
Same here! Anybody contact Samsung or Sprint about it?
Same here!!!
Just got my note 4 from Amazon.com. I had been reading about the lte to 3g call drop issue, and someone posted using there sim the card from the phone they were replacing fix this issue. So I put mine in from my s4 before i even turn it on for the first time. The phone worked, but was unable to connet to the 4g (lte / spark ) network. 3g worked fine. I got the message you all are getting (no sim, restart device....). It would happen like every 10 minutes. Once I put the sim that came with the phone in , all my problems went away. Long story short, you need another sim card.
I just called sprint and they are sending me another SIM card. It happens from time to time, but they did tell me if it continues, I can get it replaced for no charge.

This happened after my sim card swap. It would say "network did not respond in time" then "could not detect sim" then phone would reboot. It did it three different times. Then connection became stable and has not done it again. Not sure if these issues are the same as whats happening here. Just posting my experiences.
I actually bought 2 N910P. I planned on making a little extra money by selling 1 of them, but didn't count on the N910P being so easy to get, so I've held onto the other one for a back up until I found a ROM that I wanted to run on it. Well, I found a awesome ROM & booted up my 2nd N910P & got the message you have all mentioned. I thought it was strange, so I rebooted & got the same message again. After doing this a few times, I thought why not take my SIM card from the 1st N910P & put it in the 2nd N910P. I still got the same message after doing this, so I swapped them back before it messed up my primary SIM card. @Yoshi1221, please keep me/us updated if the new SIM card works for you. Has anybody else got a new SIM card? Also, after installing the 2nd ROM that I was trying out, the fingerprint scanner stopped working. I went back to stock & it still doesn't work, so I made sure that I did a full NANDROID backup on my 2nd N910P in hopes that once I get it working & the fingerprint scanner stops working, I can go back. Anyone else had this trouble?
Edit: I tried to activate my new GN4, but the DEC & HEX numbers were not recoginzed by Sprint.com. So I went into chat & they informed me that it had been turned over to technical support & to contact them again after 24 hours, so we'll see where it goes from there.
Update: Chatted with Sprint & the lady activated the SIM card after giving her the number. Hope this will help out. Just go to Sprint.com & click on the chat button.
Looks like new SIM card is working, but just got it today, seriously had to give up an arm and leg in order for sprint to send me one, but so far it looks like it is working, but just got it today, lol

Cool, glad it work out for you.
Also found out from a supervisor in the U.S that sprint is now selling GSM phones now. If you take out the SIM card and only receive 3G, you have a GSM phone, if you take out the SIM card and have spark/LTE, you have a CDMA phone

I had this problem. Sprint sent me a new sim. Fixed the problem for a few weeks but it has returned. Anyone ever get this figured out?
Sim card not found
I had forgetten about this error. Saw that someone suggested a piece of paper between the sim and case cover. I had this happen with a phone I got off a forum. Sent it back and got a replacement. The paper, no matter how thin or thick may or maynot work, and only for a short time. Changing the sim might not work either. You may just need a new phone. I went through all with a s4. Now my note 4 is doing it. I thought it was my recently deceased (July 4) mother was messing with me. One more errand to add to my list for today.
same here?
help plz
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this issue is quite obnoxious.
My Verizon LG G3 was running 5.0.1 lollipop just fine until last wednesday.
I was sitting reading a phandroid article at my desk, when a message popped up saying sim card not recognized. I tried restarting, removing battery, and finally removing sim. Sometimes after restarting it would get a greyed out 3g signal and allow phone calls but no data and say entering global mode. I got on the phone with verizon and by the time they answered after pulling sim and doing a couple restarts it had started working again. It worked for a few restarts and a battery pull, but then stopped working about an hour later. I went to verizon store got a new sim card, and it worked phone. I switched it off global because they told me that wastes battery (is this bull**** or true?) it worked for a couple of days, then died again. Then it started working again the next day or 2, and it automatically forced the 5.1.1 update while in my pocket. It worked for a few hours after that then lost sim again. The next day it worked again. Now I can't get it working again.
I should also mention this might just be coincidental, but everytime it stopped working was within 10 minutes of me swapping in a fresh battery. Both of my batteries are official LG batteries, and I charge them with the official
TL: DR
my phone keeps not recognizing my sim and is now running 5.1.1.
Any ideas for what my next step should be?
Should I replace sim a 2nd time?
Should I do a factory reset, is there any chance that would fix this? (I haven't done one since I got my phone and used the image from my first G3. So my phone has done 3 updates without a FDR. But i'd really also hate to lose my progress on some games unless I absolutely had to.
Should I have verizon send it to LG for repairs (takes like 2 weeks) (I think it's still in warranty since I got the phone 12/16/2014) But that was after returning my first G3 i got in september i'm not sure when they start their warranty period
Should I replace it through my asurion insurance?
Other ideas?
