"The Sim Card Is Missing..."

Alright, new to the forums so please bare with me! Here goes:
A little while ago I started getting the "Sim Card Is Missing" error on my Kaiser. I've done many things to remedy the problem and still to no avail, the problem remains. What I'm looking for is any advice or any other ideas that someone might be able to give me on this problem. Here's a list of what I've already done.
-Replaced SIM with a brand new SIM from ATT Dealer.
-Dissassembled phone and cleaned SIM contacts as well as SIM socket connector.
-Soft reset, and soft reset, and soft reset......you get the idea.
-Wedged a piece of paper, then cardboard on top of SIM to make more pressure
-Disabled 3G network, run solo on EDGE/GPRS, as well as used outdated SIM to see if that would solve the problem.
There have been a few other "everything else's" that I've probably tried, but nothing worth mentioning.
All of these different things I've done have all solved the problem for a small amount of time (1 minute-a full day), but the problem keeps coming back. Typically after taking the SIM out and restarting my phone, the phone does work for about 15 minutes, and then ceases to live.
If anyone, anyone at all has any insight or suggestiong, please post back in this thread, your help is much appreiciated. I've already taken the phone to a repair shop and got ripped off $160, so I'm at my last rope here. Thanks all!

the sim card is missing probably the best solution
i have had this problem before on a wizard and a kaiser too what i found out on both phones one bought off ebay and the other i bought 2nd user from the local paper is that one of the phones was reported stolen (not saying that yours is) and that is what comes up when the imei has been switched off the network and the wizard i found out had an imei which had been changed. the solution i found is when i used the wizard service tool to change the imei on the phone with one on an old phone what i had to see iuf that would work, the sim card missing error disappeared and that fixed the problem so i do reckon that has something to do with your problem.
p.s. changed the imei number back to what it was as its sort of illegal to change imei`s lol

The Kaiser (at&t tilt version at least) is notorious for having a loose fitting Sim socket. If your SIM has any age to it the contacts are worn.
Put a piece of tape (or two on the back to thicken it) then reinsert it. If this fixes your problem get a new SIM from your carrier.

Sim missing ? Any ideas

Hi
ive got a problem whereby my phone stops recognising my simcard and i can't
get it to recognise it unlless i hard reset
the hard reset works for about 3-4 hours and then it stops recognising it.
( during the 3-4 hours i don't move the phone just so it HOPEFULLY proves it isn't hardware.
Any Ideas
thanks ben
( it is on 02 and i have tryed other 02 cards and an orrange card )

I know this has been covered a few times and can be found easily using the search...
Most liklely it is hardware, as the ROM does not really ever affect that. One thing to try is when you open the sim card door, there is a metal bar that goes over the card and holds it in place. Remove the card and press down on the tab untill it touches the golden tabs below it. Then put the card in. This should put pressure on the card and keep it connected. If that does not work, you may need to replaced the sim card reader

Hardware definitely. Had the same problem and luuckily had extra parts. Swapped it out and works like a charm now.

Swapped what out ?
The SIM card reader ?
Where would I get one ?
Who would install it ?
I have this issue and I want to go back to my TyTN II.
Thanks.

I wouldn't count too much on the hardware. When i got my Kaiser yesterday (slightly used) it recognised every simcard i had in store, except my own, which i wanted to use. Simcard in different phone (a soaked Herald, but somehow sometimes working) told me the sim was fine. So i transferred my contract to a out-of-the-box simcard from KPN-NL, and that one somehow worked. I didn't really bother to have another thought about it, but is it a known hardware issue then?

Sim not recognized on my tilt

Hi there!
Lately i got into this problem:my tytn intermittently recognizes my sim.In fact i tried several times to soft reset but got the same problem.The sim is not detected by my pda,tytn ii.
What should i go for?I looked up for some similar posts in this forum.I tried with the detailed solutions but nothing.I tried to put some layers of adesive tape but i can't get it working.I also cleaned the sim and the location where the sim is placed.No way.And yes i forgot to say that i used the same sim with other phones and work perfectly.What should i do?My pda is out of warranty so i'd rather find a more economic solution thanks.Ciao!

Anyone? Please need help!!!!

I tried reflashing another ROM but i still get the same problem.I remember that before it completely stopped working i could send an sms and then after a few seconds the connection automatically deactivated and when i tried to put it back on the commanager menu i got the message "no sim".
So i wondered if that was due to some software problems.That's why i tried to flash a new ROM.But nothing.Got the same error.What's that?How can i fix it?Pleaaaaseee

hello
If putting some layers on the sim card holder doesn't work, most likely there is a problem with flex cable that connecting sim card holder.
So, I guess the only (but not so economic) solution is you have to fix the flex cable.
I also had this issue few months ago, my kaiser was unable to read any sim card. After fixing the flex cable, my kaiser back in action
well, I spent 700.000 IDR to fix it, but I think its worth.

Hi.First of all thanks for your reply.Anyway i looked on google and i found that the 700.000 you spent to fix the pda are around 0.0777 US DOLLARS.is that possible?Isn't that really CHEAP?Is that around the real price you spent in Indonesia?thank you very much.Ciao!

oh, sorry,, in my country we use . to separate 1 and 0 in one thousand (1.000) its not a sign for decimals.
So it is 700000 IDR, around 77 USD hehe..

Hey! ahah yes it seemed really cheap.Incredibly.So yes here in italy maybe around 50-60 euros.I'll take my pda to some expert.See how much it will cost to repair it.Anyone who had the same problem andfixed it in another way?by hisself?Thank you.bye

Hey guys.I took it to the shop.In a few days they tell me what is about.Meanwhile is there anyone who fixed this problem in an alternative way?thanks dudes.Ciao!

My p30 pro VOG-L04 doesn't detect the sim car

Hi, fisrt of all I'm sorry if this is not the right site for this thread, I have a P30 pro VOG-L04 that doesn't detect any sim card, I hope someone can help me to solve this issue, I just bought the phone, the person that sell me the phone already told me from that issue, I already checked the sim board and eveything looks good, thank's in advance.

If the device isn't SIM locked then I suggest you check wether the SIM card is properly touching the gold part on the board. You can add some tape to the top of the SIM to make it bulkier. Good luck

Hi, thanks for the help, I already change the sim reader, but nothing happened, a friend of mine tell me that maybe the modem gone wrong, and that's why the phone don't detect the sim any idea how to repair the modem??

Hi friends, sorry to ask but, did someone have the p30 pro schematics? Or the repair manual, I want to see the movil network diagram, maybe I can repair my phone

i know im late but i had this problem for two days after coming back from vacation from a humid place. it seems that the sim board needed reconnecting. what i did (lil technical background) is i opened the back with a heat gun and unscrewed the bottom right part on the phone where the sim tray is and disconnected and reconnected all the wiring on that section. Shame i didnt do this before i formatted the phone before but i hope this helps someone else coz now everything is working as usual. (nothing needs to be removed, just the connections need to be disconnected and reconnected)

Question S21 ULTRA NO SERVICE

Hi, i am really frustrated right now. i have an s21 ultra(sm-g9980) hong kong version. Been using this phone for months now with everything working smoothly. i recently received the recent security update for the phone and i updated it. thats where my problem started. after the update all of a sudden i cant receive any service at all from my sim cards. The phone displays a sort of "no entry" symbol at the top. i have tried everything. From resetting the networks to hard resetting, all to no avail. Even sent it to a local repair shop and they couldnt tell what the problem is. The imei is visible and the phone can recognise that there is a sim card in it, however, it still displays no service. this has made me really frustrated as i cant seem to figure out what the problem is. Also, i should add that however i did have a problem with my usb port which was fixed and replaced before this issue started after the firmware update. Do you think this issue is connected to the usb i had replaced? Saw a post which said something about the antenna and the usb connector being on the same daughterboard. Could this be the problem? Would really apprecaite it if anyone could help me out. thanks

Try another sim card.

Doesnt work. Flashed another firmware. Still didnt work

I'm sorry, but it's most likely a hardware problem.

Rush to the nearest Samsung repair centre and get your motherboard replaced.
