[Q] Galaxy tab loosing simcard "connection" - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Got a little problem for a while now the first way i helped my way worket but not long so mey be one of u know how it work better.
From time to time my tab just says sim is not put in bit if i remove it it reboots cus i "removed sim" so the is be notivied. First i found out that it could be my sim cus i used in my old phone and it was hot a bit from the connectors in it and i should use a strip of "tesa" on the back so that it is better connectet. It worked for a while now the problem came back again when i driving car an its on the samsung-cardock it is sometimes gone or better the sim.
Do i have to reorder a new one or is it a prob of my tab? When it is the tab i`ll have a prob cus its rooted so no garanie

you can just try to flash another modem if that didn't fix it , i think its problem with your tab or the simcard , did you try another simcard to check whether the problem with it or with the tab ?

how in earth you removed Call app ?
did you put it back or no ? ?
if not tell me which rom you are in and i'll upload the app for you ( gingerbread ) or froyo ?
and you can check my above answer to see if that help you guys or no

no sim card or does´nt read sim card
should anyone find that they have a problem with sim card (not reading) i would strongly advise that you seriously consider that it may well be the conexion in the tab.
it was driving me crazy, but i was determined, and eventually chose to desmantel the device. where i was able to see the false conexion in the sim card holder. i tried to straighten it and it broke off, the next step would be to change the sim card hold which requires soldering (in a fairly delicate place) and i havent got a clue.at the moment i have put a bit of tin foil on the sim card (bridging) so that it connects and it is doing just fine. this post is especially for those who are certain that they have unlocked the carrier network so that they are able to rule out that cause. (sorry about the grammar).

The following post from another forum may be of interest to you in how to reinstall the call app you speak of. The poster is talking about loss of gmail application but it may apply to your situation:
Okay so after I posted this, I talked to one of my software developer friends who is also and Android freak. He told me that any application that linked to google is probably causing the problem. The only application that fit that description was Talk and talk Provider. I extracted the Talk and Talk Provider files from my .zip file, and put them in the "download" folder on the Vibrant's internal memory (NOT THE MICRO SD CARD!). Then I used the Vibrant to access this website: http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andexplorer/index.html and downloaded the "AndExplorer" file manager from the website, NOT the Android Market (remember, my android market was not working). I used AndExplorer File Manager to open and install Talk.apk and TalkProvider.apk. I also reinstalled Swype.apk. Rebooted the phone and VIOLA! Problem fixed.

No SIM Card

So last 5 minutos I have been freaking out over here, my Captivate just stoped recognizing my SIM card, everything was okay and my phone right here at my side until Astrid come bother me to do my homework, when I closed Astrid this notification pops upo saying that I have no SIM card on the phone and asking me to reboot it, so I rebooted and over and over again removed my card and still no results, anyone have ever had a similar problem? (it's not just for messages, its for everything)
If there is no solution how can I make my phone back to default options? so that I can return it to AT&T( right now I have Cognition 2.3b4), sorry for all the stupid questions

Trying to see if ur SIM card is toast.
Take your sim to a store and get a new one. I did it twice with my phone. The second time I showed the sales guy I had 2.2 with a custom rom after he *****ed about no 2.2 update for his captivate. They don't care. They are sales, not returns. And to answer your question, odin. You shouldn't be flashing if you don't know how to fix it.

I got a new SIM card it's working now Thanks

Wont read sim card, no network

Help!!!
So I had the power button failure and no electronic cleaner would fix it. I bought a broken captivate off ebay and replaced the motherboard. I had to take the daughter board off my old motherboard and place it on the new motherboard cause the old daughter board had a bend sd card holder. Turned on the phone and it had a lock on it so I did a hard reset. Now the phone turns on and seems to work great except for the fact that I have no network connection and my contacts from my sim card dont show up under my contacts. Sim card worked fine before the switch and works in my blackberry right now so I dont think its the sim card. I have re-checked all the connections and they are fine. Hopefully someone can help me with this.
Thanks!
Edit: Wifi works but still no network.
I was flashing modems on the move and got a sim lock msg on boot. Had no connection to the network. I don't know if this is the same problem but I resolved it by downloading "Galaxy S Unlock" app from the market. It's the purple computer tower/wrench icon. Hope this helps!
have no IMEI number, phone not rooted.
I put the other motherboard back in my phone until I "hopefully" figure this out. Is there a way I can copy my IMEI number from the original motherboard to the new one so it will work?
/efs folder on root has my imei backup. There might be a more specific app to deal with this. A search of the forums " EW] IMEI generator and ROM zip update" might be what you a step in the right direction. Like I mentioned I just used galaxy s unlock and it fixed everything.
(Can't post links being a noob sorry)
Guess I will have to root the phone and try this method then. Thanks
I have the same problems. The power button stopped working, then before I could get to repairing it, my wife left the phone in the sprinklers and the nothing would work. I disassembled the phone, cleaned with CRC cleaner- got it working, but with green tint to everything. Disassembled, cleaned all contacts with CRC & q-tips- got display back to normal but now it does not recognize the sim card. Card works fine on old phone though. When I get home I will check the imei #.

lol, Im in Bakersfield too. Maybe its something in the air?
I tried to root it last night with super one click but the program kept locking up and stopped responding. What are other alternatives to rooting the phone?
Mine is also missing the imei number when I look for it under phone info. What does the sim card have to do with the imei #?

[Q] What happened !?!? HELP ME!

Hi all,
I'm a complete noob from blackberry.
Got a i9305 last nite, before I left the store it was tested and all and all looked good. Came home and charged the phone and now it won't detect my sim card. Took it back to the store and they won't honor the warranty because they said the phone was jailbreaked. All i did was used the wifi to download some legit apps and plugged it into my mac air to do some file transfer using 'Android Transfer'. The phone cannot even detect IMEI.
I didn't do any jailbreak activities on the phone (at least to my knowledge), so i have no idea why the phone is like this.
Q:
what happened?
What to do now?
What to do to avoid similiar incidents? (Should I backup my 'OS' ? how? -0 knowledge with Android)
Appreciate all your advise.
If you didn't do anything to your phone. Go to setting and in back and reset, restore it to factory which will erase all that was installed.
We don't jailbreak our devices only root and flash custom roms
Or they sold you a bad device and aren't helping you.

Sounds to me like you were sold a bad device. Unless you're omitting something, but you have no reason to do that on the internet so I reckon you were sold a bad device.

No IMEI you have either been sold a damaged phone or you have flashed stuff on it .
Highly unlikely for a hardware failure a few hours after phone is tested . Why test is it a refurb / used item ???
Return the item to the vendor and ask what has broken the warranty and to show you proof of such .
No / wrong IMEI phone will not work as a phone .
Whyare you are asking to backup a phone in other posts that is faulty ???

When I first got my phone and wanted to set in the sim it didnt go well cuz I didnt push it till it clicked. So just to be sure, look if you've put it right.

Maybe you want to verify with the store what they mean by jailbreak? Sim unlocked? Rooted?
Was it a store selling 2nd hand phones? If so, it's quite hard to have any form of warranty. I'm sure there are ways about this once the experts in this forum know more about the nature of your problem.
It's quite hard for them to look into this post though, cos the title doesn't seem to help describe the nature of your problem. You could have used a title like "no IMEI detected" or something like that.

[Q] New Xperia Z1 No Signal Whit any sim.

Hey just got new z1 for my wife.
worked fine in 3 days then suddenly NO SIGNAL from provider.
Took my simcrad in that phone no signal.
put my wifes sim card into my z1 then i got signal
Some thing wrong whit the z1?
Have googled hole day cant find a solution plesae help me?
anybody have the same problem?
Cheers Stian
Go via Warranty.
Well same happened to me at first I though was the sim reader but it was the rom that suddenly stop reading the sim and I don't know why. The solution was to flash a different rom and now I am with kitslim. To check the sim reader I used the app "sim card by gsmdev" such app allows to read the sim information like contacts imei etc so if that app reads that info means that the sim reader is OK and you need to flash a different rom or the same. Hope this help

Check if your imei is intact, perhaps you could flash an FTF file which will replace the OS so back everything up first.
Make sure you are inserting the sim correctly (i know you probably are but it's worth checking) ones the sims in the phone it should reboot, could be that the contacts which hold the sim aren't raised enough, don't bother fixing them just take it back if that's the case, if the sim has been inserted incorrectly then theres a chance that the contacts may be bent and if that's the case then your warranty will be void, but in all fairness it sounds like a dodgy phone rather than any of the above.
I'd still do the FTF flash anyway, it's probably the best shot you've got, oh and i've noticed that some peoples phones will read sims and others won't so the fact that it works in yours and not hers although weird, isn't conclusive. Try another sim too.

Open channel for BIP

Hi, I get the annoying message "Open channel for BIP" from time to time. I can relate it to the second SIM-card. After I put it in, the messaging starts. Can I switch that off somehow?

Thanks, but already found that as well. It's a bit old and not a solution. Here a summary of what was found out there:
What is BIP:
Barrier Independent Protocol, relative new high speed channel for moving data between a BIP server and a storage device (like the SD card in a phone).
Someone meant it could have something to do with a SD card. There is no in the phone, the SD-Slot is used for the second SIM.
Another one updated the phone. Didn't help me.
App bugs? Don't think so. The messaging start when inserting the second SIM-card and stops after removing. No Apps installed or changed during that process.
The last person change his SIM-card then, and the messaging stopped for him.
So the main question remains: what ist that BIP about and what does it have to do with that SIM-card and can I stop it somehow?
I already changed the SIM-card. Now it's a new one but the same provider.
The other SIM doesn't make any problems, it's another provider. But the provider might not be the problem. When I exchange the place of each SIM the problem still exists. Does it have something to do with the combined SD-/SIM-card-slot?
Any ideas?

Some users said updating fixed the issue, but if nothing there worked on yours then I would honestly just try a factory reset to rule out other potential factors. It might still be related to an app that triggers something when 2nd sim is inserted, not sure... Are you on latest stock firmware, or rooted on custom roms?

OK, that's quite weird. I've absolutely no clue how, but it seems to be fixed. Without factory reset. No root, no custom rom. Latest firmware, so there was no option to update anything.
What have I done now:
I tried to figure out several combinations with both or one SIM-card in different slot-combinations. I wanted to know if it could have anything to do with the provider or the SIM-card-mount. Between I restarted and reinserted the SIM-Card mount several times. Then somehow the messaging stopped. Till now (about 24h) it's best behaved
So I'm sorry that I've opened an new thread, because it's quite close to the result of that one:

Goad you managed to get it sorted out, and thanks for posting back to close the loop
OK, it started again. Now installed Norton Antivirus and it found no virus but apps with unusual/unexpected behavior. It was one for my electronic scale (yolanda-app) and one for voice recording. Deinstalled both and the message was gone. Hopefully forever now...
I have no idea about anything y'all are discussing. However I just opened, turned on and connect to my hotspot, my second Samsung Galaxy J7crown in 2 months and I am getting same pop up. Try to search for answer and I get opinions, cause Google and assistant absolutely suck now on any actual FACT finding anymore. Did anyone figure this out yet? Google won't. I'm sure it's another thing they DON'T want you to know about. Frustrated....
I have to agree. I just recently got a j7 crown and am experiencing this same message from time to time. I just came here looking for answers but have found nothing. Hope it's nothing serious
I had this message only once, when I went to Japan then switched SIM card.
I have had the same issue all day today. I've had this phone since November and have randomly seen this pop up but never like it has today. I went to settings, about phone and clicked update and it has fixed it so far. It has only been 20 minutes but hoping it doesn't happen anymore. I never thought something would annoy and anger me the way that did lol!
I've had the same Galaxy J7 crown with StraightTalk service, since Feb 2019. I've never removed neither my SD nor SIM card. I only hey the BIP message briefly at bottom of screen every time I turn my phone on (like from being turned off completely, not just the screen).
It's not a nueseance to me, I am just wondering what exactly it means.
Any answers? In layman's terms? Thanks!
Duh!..
They are watching you. Isnt it odd that there is no definitive answer????
