Hi, I just got the 8.9 3g Tab (P7300).
when I insert the Sim card to the device, it still shows "Please insert sim card"
and when I go to Setting, Network service. It tells me "Insert sim card to access network service".
I tested my Sim card to my Phone, it is ok. and i don't think there is anything wrong in the position of sim card when I placed to my 8.9 tab (metal surface face down)
I also did some research on the possibility of lost/corrupt data in EFS folder.
However, I saw my IMEI and Serial no is showing correctly (Not "unknown" or the default one). and I tried to odin the stocks 3.2 rom, wipe eveything. And i also tried to recover the nv_data files and do the chmod radio radio to that files under EFS. it still doesn't work.
does anyone here have some advise for me?
Thanks so much.
sounds silly but did you insert it far enough?
you really have to push down hard until you hear a little "click" the card then should stay in position.
did you install a p5 (3g) rom and not a p5wifi only?
Yes. the rom i flash is P5 3g room and for P7300 not P7310...
and I do hear the sound and the Sim card totally locked inside.
and I need to Push it to eject it out.
So i have no idea why it doesn't work.
is your phone 4g? if you insert a 4g sim into a 3g device it wont work. this probably isnt the case, but who knows....maybe they messed up your data plan and gave you a 4g sim for your 3g device.
did you get your tab from a carrier? did you buy it used and the guy before you had it from a carrier? if so maybe its sim locked?!
just guessing here though :S
How can I know whether my device has sim lock or not?
And how can I get it unlocked if so?
As my device is given by my fd so I don't know whether it is locked or not.
But I am sure it is 3g device instead of lte and my similar card is also 3g

My i9000m on the Bell mobility network is not picking up data after an overnight charge with the phone turned on. Today - nothing. I do have phone use and I can access data on WiFi.
I am running stock ROM. I unlocked the phone using a Rogers SIM card, about a week ago, but went back to the Bell network immediately after with no problem. After unlocking I got the Kies to work and updated to UGJH2. Since then, the network access has been spotty but I've switching to WiFi then switching back and it's coming back. I purchased this phone with a different Bell SIM2 then put my old Bell SIM1 (from an Omnia2) in this device.
*#7465625# shows Personalizatiob Status
network lock [OFF]; Network sublock[OFF]; SP lock [OFF]; CP lock [OFF]
What I've tried
1) Switching to WiFi and back - no data
2) Putting SIM1 back into the Omnia 2 - O2 booted up and accessed the Bell network including data. CONCLUSION - The problem is not the SIM card.
3) Putting the SIM2 into the i9000m - no network access at all; not even phone. This SIM2 is working in the O2 and originally worked in the i9000m. Much to my surprise when I put SIM1 back in the SGS it still picks up the Bell network.
4) Squeezed the SIM holder blew out with compressed air in case it's just a physical problem with the SIM being held tight enough - SIM1 still not picking up data.
So it would seem that there is a problem with my SGS reading SIMs other than the one in use when whatever happened happened. Any suggestions on how to get other SIMs, even from the same network, to work? If I have to submit my phone to Bell I need to re-lock it. How do I do that?
Thanks for the help.
--- update---
relocked the phone using *7465625*638*# then 302610 and my unlock code. Power off / on still no data access. Now *#7465625# shows Personalizatiob Status - network lock [ON]; Network sublock[OFF]; SP lock [OFF]; CP lock [OFF]
first try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789039&highlight=*#0011#
does it show which band it is using for data?
you can also try this

install the APN on off
then flip it on / off and back to on
see if that helps
Thanks for the response.
I did the #*0011* It's flipping between the 850 on 5 and 1900 on 2 The DL and UL numbers are slightly different. I did have to reconnect to the APN.
How would this affect installing *other* Bell SIMS? That's what worries me the most - that it wouldn't read another Bell SIM that works in another phone.
the only time i see this happen is if you swap the SIM card when the phone is ON
if you turn off the phone, change between SIM1 and SIM2, then turn it back on, you should not see that problem
I know because i was playing around with multiple SIMs when we were researching the Unlock methods for this phone
I take out the battery before I change the SIM. I have to for the Omnia 2 so I just got in the habit. This is sounding worse and worse
although I was rushing off to work so maybe I didn't - hope springs eternal.

sometimes you just have to call Bell, wade thru the 1st level support and get to someone who knows what's up. Apparently my phone plan changed today (I didn't know it was post dated) and the data feature was not provisioned even though it's a plan that includes data. The guy invoked the feature and poof - data. yay. AllGamer, thanks for your help.
you'r welcome
I did have the same problem, using 2 numbers from 2 telcos, both sims work fine on my iphone but I9000 fail to recognize 1 of these 2, no matter how I tried, I actually did all crazy things like insert couple paper layers between the sim and the sim slot to create additional pressure on the sim contact circuit.
Suck thing about this is non-recognizable sim has data plan with it, which I want to use on I900, finally I asked the carrier to issue a new sim and all thing work fine. It's a new sim type anyway. You may want to try this if all other means doesn't work.
The fix is easy I use to have a moto milestone and when this happened a simple reboot fixed the data connection.

I wanted to use a tmobile sim on my captivate, I know it won't get any 3g network but I can't even make phone calls or anything. The phone is unlocked and running fasty rom v2.0...any help?ideas?
Did you input tmo apn settings?
No but im not trying to get internet i just want to make calls
you turned off the phone , then put the tmobile sim card then turn it on . Make sure the sim card works and the phone is unlocked and you have coverage
Check the sim card is it working ? maybe a modem issue.
Hello.
I have an Atrix HD from ATT, I bought it unlocked at Ebay. I used it with my ATT sim Card, then with Movistar in Colombia for vacations and everything was working great. Then I came back to the US, used a T-Mobile sim card and now I can not use any other sim card. The only one it accepts is the T-Mobile one and it works fine. If I pop any other sim card it gives me no signal (a white cross appears in a red circle where the circle bars should be).
My phone is rooted but I have not flashed any ROM or done anything else beyond installing Superuser and Titanium Backup. I already did an internal and an external reset and none works: The only sim card that gets signal is the T-Mobile one. Called T-Mobile and they said they cant help me since the phone is not supported.
My hint is that somehow the T-Mobile sim card switched my frequency bands. Whats funny though is that now I am in Colombia and when I insert the T-Mobile sim card and check which network is my phone connected to it shows Movistar and the signal bars are great. If I pop up my Movistar sim card it gets no signal at all.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
You must have setup the sim card lock disable that and then try putting in another sim

Has anyone had problems with LTE tab s 8.4" sim card ?
the signal bars all the time are full as if there is sim card in the device. i tried inserting two nano sim cards with micro adapter it immediately asks to restart as Sim card detected..
I place sim card, restart and NOTHING !
same full bar signal all the time with/without sim. Still says no sim card inserted.
Device from singapore.
Now i know 8.4 LTE tab S is 3g/4g sim card compatible and sim cards work perfectly otherwise. i reset factory settings with no results !
going to mobile networks trying to chose networks also gives error of no network available.
ANy ideas/ Help !
thank you

Posted again in q&A section.

Check your imei number. If imei starts 00..... you have problem with logining to network.

I have the same thing as well when no simcard is inserted. Per understanding, the phone automatically logs on to any network so you could dial the emergency number (in your country)
Hey I for some unknown reason cant connect to my network whatsoever. No 3rd party roms nothing just the most recent Lolipop update. Sim card is in lock screen says emergency calls only. Network operators all options are greyed out. Here is the weird part. Under APN's it tells me there is no sim card when the screen loads, however when i eject the sim card and put it back in its not until i eject it that the rest of the phone recognizes there is no sim card. Did my sim card fry or what do you think?
Some answers found solo
so i pulled an app off play to check the info of my sim card and lo and behold there appears to be nothing on the card whatsoever. anyone have a suggestion for an app that is known to be current and working for this just in case its the app?

Simplest would be to go in store and ask another sim card just to test it. Looks like a bad sim card or maybe an hardware problem with the sim contacts
