Sim card issue? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a new phone, going to use Sgs as dev/ backup phone
on three network, sun card used to work but now I get no service, I can't add a Apn manually? Anyone got any ideas? Can sim card get tied to imei number?
Update.
Spoke to THREE (UK) they said that once a SIM card has been used in the SGS3, It can't be used in another phone! Guess the SGS1 will have to go :-(

Can you please help me by looking at your sim card tray - photo attached
Hi Folks, i think my Sim card tray is broken, can someone please have a look at their own and tell me if I am missing a pin (I have 'tried' to upload a photo, but it looks like a pin may be missing from behind the 3rd sim tray hole).
many thanks if you can help out...

i put a microsim to sim adapter and it broke the sim contacts on the tray!! Thats why I don't have warranty. Do anyone know what can I do???
How much does Samsung charge for this repair? I think it is better to have them repair it.
U should try diferent micro sim before u buy main board, u have two type of micro sim , sim with smaller chip and with bigger, the smaller one are causing problem, some of them are not working and some of them have problem with contact.

and that someone screwed it up worse..... i should be able to fix it i pm'd you
..broke mine too!!
..did a similar thing to my Note.....the sim card caught one of the connectors in the sim tray and pulled it off!!!...found a cool video on how to dismantle it (1st video on on "dismantle galaxy note"search) on you tube....on closer inspection the connector had broken and pulled away from the circuit board too (not happy!!). Have hunted high and low to try and find someone who could supply a replacement main board....without any luck - if there's anyone out there that could point us in the write direction/add a link here....i'd love you forever!!
Really missing my Note right now!!!
New mobo for Galaxy Note? Check these guys out!!!
vicdroid84 you may be in luck......have found these guys, their based in Birmingham and are called Intercity business telecommunications (wont let me add the link here) tel:0121 643 7373.....have spoken to them, they can supply and fit a new mobo for about £130......takes about 48 hours upon them getting it to repair...am sending mine of today!!!!!........yipppeeeee!!
Samsung replaces the SIM tray. I read it is less than 50$ and sometime it is free.
Changing MOBO for a SIM tree is like changing a Car engine for a small nut
i recommend you take it to a company that's not Samsung to fix it, Samsung wont fix it if you don't have a warranty

Just pointing out to the OP that the above might be misinformation. The fix should be free if it's a warranty and $50 if it is a sim issue.
and as i said earlier.. if samsung wont fix it .. i can and will... and i can say so far i havent voided a warranty as in the warranty is still good after ive done the repair.. thats how clean..... so anyone with the problem just pm me... its legit too. got pretty good at board level repairs over the past 22 years working for some big name manufacturers... just trying to help...already helped a few on here....
Sim pins
I too broke off 1 of the 3 pins pulling a microsim out. I ordered and received the sim connector from parts4repair.com. But I think I have to solder off the current connector then solder on the replacement. Am I correct?

I suggest trying another sim. If the second sim doesn't work, contact the seller. It's possible the phone has a hardware problem.

I've never heard of this being related to software. I have run stock and custom rom on my phone and the sim has always been recognized.
Perhaps you could contact the seller and ask about the problem you are having.
I just ran into this problem and have tried every rom , flashing back to stock , new sim from att and just figured out how to flash the modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233871) none of it has worked for me . I cant get the radio to even turn on it is really weird . At&t is sending me a new phone . I have spent 3 days non stop trying to get it too work and have no idea what it is but I know for sure that the radio will not turn on .
its not a software issue...its mechanical.
i fix it opening the phone and removing the spring the make the micro sim card spring back when you push it.
after this the sim card it will not make contact with pads so you have to put something on top (like a little piece of cardboard) to touch and make good contact with pads, before you close the phone...
its a cheap solution if you do not want to replace spring professionally that would be expensive unless under warranty.
I tough i was the only one may be i was to rough with mine but now i see is a very bad design from Motorola.......

[Q] SGS i9000 sim tray and network issues

Hey folks,
I have a small issue with my SGS i9000 GT which I bought in 2011. I have a nano sim which I use in my HTC one M8 and I use a sim adapter to use the same sim in my SGS. Recently I was stupid enough to just put the adapter void of the sim into SGS sim tray and while pulling it out, I damaged the sim tray. I think the 2 little forks out of 3 were uprooted. :crying:
I took it a small repair shop nearby and try to get the sim tray changed. Now it detects the sim but it shows no service. I tried it with couple of other small shops and they say that the IC needs to be changed. Has anyone experienced something like this? I run a Mackay rom, will factory reset or flashing again help if it's a network / software issue. Any light in this regard would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I also "almost" made the same mistake.. Your most likely gonna have to replace whatever board to fix your sun tray. You've most likely pulled the pins free of the board. Maybe a new sim tray and someone who is really good at soldering can fix this. maybe...
doubt very much it is software as it was working before you did this. But it's worth a try re-flashing. In my opinion your going to need to replace the board with the memory chips attached, if I remember right from when I've dismantled my S1.
I would find a dirt cheap phone on eBay with a broken screen and pull the board with tray from that and put it in yours. Doing so with also mean your going to need to backup your data as you'll have new internal memory.
It's not too difficult to do this yourself, lots of good YouTube videos. Also what I've had to do in the past when I fried my internal memory.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Good luck!

I see this as a DIY opportunity :laugh: I will try to reflash the phone and if it doesn't work then I'll DIY the IC myself. I will update the progress here. Thank you for your valuable opinion.

Sim1 no sim card

Dears,
I have had this phone for over a week now both my sims have been working in it flawlessly, Today it said while I was browsing "sim card inserted refreshing" then it reboot my phone. When it did sim 1 no longer reads the sim inserted in it so I replaced the sim1 and sim2 thinking the sim itself might have gone bad, guess what? Both sim cards work fine in sim 2 tray. Anyone has a solution for this?
See attached screenshot from the settings of the dual sim
I repeat both sim cards are functional it's the sim1 tray that seems to have a problem I hope it's a software issue I'm resetting factory now then updating the forum.
Please help

OMG! guess what? The new phone that they replaced me with did the exact same thing that the first phone did! I was surfing the internet then it refreshed sim cards and rebooted all by itself!! When it booted again sim1 isn't working anymore.... Please help this time I can't check with the warranty because I'm travelling won't be back to my country anytime soon... Do i can't get it replaced again till I get back, I'd appreciate any help or suggestions and yes I did repair phone on pc companion and still sim 1 not working and the phone is over heating more than the usual even without any sim card inserted...

I have the same problem. The Simcard 1 just stopped working. Of course no one would reply because this is a hardware issue, since xda is more focused on development. As for me, I didn't do anything about it and lived with it. I am also sad that I didn't wait for Z5. Sony's refresh cycle is messed up.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Well since the sim1 died the battery has been horrible and the heating extreme. Is the same happening for you? Did you contact Sony about it?

Help there just am update, I sent back my phone to Sony dealership they said sim 1 slot has been broken and it's not covered in the warranty since it's physically damaged. Well my only solution is to have a z3+dual with 1 sim lol anyway I think my first phone had the same issue but they replaced it anyway.

I am but anything careful on my devices and still, like you, mine was broken and why only on sim 1 slot? I think is their fault, clearly it is a design flaw.
Did you insert the tray correctly? If not, yes the tray might have damaged and that isn't covered by the warranty.
i have same problem , please u can tell me what do with The warranty and what tell you about the problem?!

Nano OEM SIM tray lost- Any ideas?

I bought a HTC Desire 626 from someone And I didn't realise the phone is suppose to have a small sim tray/adapter to hold the sim card. I looked everywhere online and no luck. Where could I find one? When I insert the nano it's too small without the tray and micro sim is too big for it. Thanks.

I had the same problem and couldn't find one anywhere so I bought another HTC Desire 626 from Best Buy, took out the sim tray, and then returned the phone. And before you think I'm a huge asshole, it comes with a backup sim card tray that I left in the box.
I just went through this with HTC. My phone... errr... exploded... And they sent me a replacement. They did not include a sim tray. I called them yesterday and its already on its way here

USE A CUT Micro
Probably already figured out the issue but to add my two cents I used a micro simply cut it to fit just snip off a little of the plastic if done right the cut goes right through the imei # text on the card. Well for ATT's anyway it does. I can post pics if needed.. :good:
