did you use a sim adapter?

I have not yet tried making my microsim into a nanosim and then using an adapter if thats what you meant.
Should i try this?

NO, but mine got broken using a sim adapter, so i thought this could also be your problem!

Warranty or if you bought used you screwed.
First you can do is factory reset or try another Sim from someone you know. If its simlocked even then you know it's not the reader as it is reading Sim.

Did you buy it new or second hand? If used then maybe it has been blocked.
Where are you?

can't make calls or texts

Hello,
just out of the blue my phone can't make any calls or texts. It keeps failing on either of those two, occasionally, I could get one text or call to go through and then it stops working again. I checked and there was full signal at the time, IMEI is still there. I flashed leaked jb roms and cm10 and they both have problems. But the sim when inserted into my unlocked one x works just fine. Does anybody know how I can fix this problem?
Thanks,
Where did you buy your s3?

I have the same problem, in what way do you refer in sim toast? THe sim card or tray where the sim card is placed?

[Q] Sim stuck in Sim tray

Hey,
I cut down my old sim to micro and it worked fine. I popped it out and there was no issue with it but now when I inserted my Rogers sim, It wont come out. I am not sure if I should go hard at it or just take it in store since its still under warranty. Not sure if they will this :s and also, i tried the toothpick thing and that doesnt seem to work. if anyone has any other suggestion, it will be great help!
Thanks

Try using a soft eraser. Don't press down too hard with the pencil, and push the sim card out. This worked for me. Good luck.
I have used a straight pin to push it forward.

Finally I brick my E973,, :(

Couple days ago my beloved Bell E973 wont reay sim card.
Here is what happed. the original from bell, but I bought a unlocked code to use my Rogers sim. It's working perfect for 2 or 3 weeks. I love the screen. personal I like it bettter than S3.
I did not root or unlock the bootloader and one day when I put sim card in, it just said NO SIM. I tried with bell sim. same
So I rooted and tried all kind of ROMs, even F180S. that's fun. but still wont read sim.
If anyone buy it as a parts or want to fix it. let me know. I am in Toronto
You tried to re-unlock it ?
Also, if you flashed korean firmware, your radio will mostly be gone.
no really to re unlocked it, since I tried my friends Bell sim. doesnt work

Might still worth a shot.
omg that sucks=( good luck getting fixed
btw
i saw your post on kijiji lmfao !! we live around each other lmao!!
Did you put it in the proper way?
I made the mistake of putting a sim in the wrong way once on my BB and even took it to a Rogers store and then felt like an idiot after the guy pointed out what I did.

It's still under manufacturer warranty

Two things about your phone:
I may be interested in it for parts, depending on price of course. Mine has a dead spot in the digitizer, and as I bought it second hand, LG won't warranty it for me. I'd not want to spend more than the price of a screen/digitizer assembly, so it might be worth more to someone else.
Have you tried a different sim in it? If the phone is unlocked, try a friend's sim card, maybe your sim just died. Edit: missed your reply about trying your friend's bell sim
Have you tried a hard reset?
Have you tried reinstalling the original rom, using the original KDZ file and the "unbrick" method?
Can you browse internet, play store, or use any program with data connection via wifi?
- first, it might be the unlock procedure did it. I had 2 out 5 devices ran into this scenario after doing a factory unlock.
- second, but unlikely and super scarce situations, Bell might have locked up your device's IMEI that caused it. I got one relative that the carrier locked up his phone after doing a factory unlock.
My Rogers E971 stopped recognizing SIM cards yesterday. It is unlocked/rooted. Hoping I can reroot/lock bootloader and send in for warranty service. Still trying to figure it all out.
same problem

Optimus G sim card inserted or removed all the variations of the device automatically restarts.
Did you notice this situation?
Inhabitants of this problem, removing or inserting the sim card would not open the device?

Woo911, you have used wrong title for your thread thus eliminating people who might know a solution to your problem to ignore the thread, inability to read the sim doesn't mean your device is bricked.

When I first got the phone it would reboot when I inserted and removed SIM cards. It has since stopped doing this.

Just an update. I couldn't figure out how to unroot and relock my bootloader. I ended up sending it off to LG for warranty servicing via my carrier and they fixed it free of charge.

The phone can't recognize my sim card

Hey,
I got the phone yesterday and after putting in my cut nanosim the phone didn't recognize it and showed "no sim card" message.
I tried to put an other nanosim and it didn't work. After that, I came to my mobile customer service and even they couldn't fix it.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Same problem here
Bought my brother the phone last week, still not working!
Could really use some help, thanks in advance
was the sim pre-cutted or did you cut it yourself? because nano-sims are thinner than micros, and they don't always work if self-cutted

I suggest you to try with an hard reset, just to exclude software problems.
If it doesn't work I would contact google to rma it

[HELP] No sim card - Emergency calls only - LG G3 D855

Hello guys, i have some issues with my LG G3. As the title says, the phone isn't reading the sim card, sometimes, it's working just fine, for a couple of minutes, then, a countdown begins, saying "No sim card detected", in 10 seconds my phone will reboot and that's it. "No sim card detected" again.
Every other aspect is working just fine.
Things i've already tried:
- Switching sim card and switching the sim carrier.
- Replacing sim card & microSD reader.
- Pressing down the sim card at the startup.
- Hard / Factory reset.
All of those for nothing.
I'm thinking is an software problem, is that possible?
Exactly the same problem!! Has been in and had a new sim tray, worked for 3 days then back to no sim, no service, emergency calls only. Taped down sim, changed sim, factory reset, nothing!! I am so frustrated! It's only just over a year old too so I'm not due an upgrade and it's out of warranty.
I have same problem

unfortunately, this has nothing to do with our problem, my g3 shows the correct IMEI. will try to heat the area of the motherboard located behind the sim card reader with my heatgun. some guy got it to work like this ( though he did not show any actual evidence supporting his claim, and neither did i ask for it)
