Hey guys
I have a tmobile hd 7 here
it had an atnt sim card, and worked, the phone was unlocked
as soon as i put an active tmobile card it gave the invalid sim error.
So i researched and decided to replace the sim tray.
Got the new sim tray over a month later and the problem didn't go away.
Did a factory reset, still nothing.
This is a tmobile phone, so any idea why this is happening?

Maybe it's your sim card problem.

That was the first thing I tried. I wouldn't have ordered a new SIM tray without testing that first...

So I recently purchased the Samsung Captivate to use with my AT&T GoPhone plan, but every time I boot up the phone, I get a message that says
SIM card crash
Check your SIM card or
contact customer care.
The SIM card works in other phones just fine, so it has to be a problem with this phone. I tried unlocking it, but that hasn't helped, and other carrier SIM cards work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks !
That sim card is not compatible with the captivate.
I have just bought an LG P880 and to my horror found that it does not work with my sim card.
Here are the details:
Three Sim card (GA6047) monthly contract
LG P880 unlocked
I have tried the following sim cards and they do work
O2
Orange
I have tried a factory reset and a hard reset with the Three sim card in and out, each time it fails to detect it.
I have tried the Three sim card in the following phones and it does work
HTC 7Pro
Nokia N900
Samsung Galaxy Europa (The phone it came with)
While waiting for Three customer services I tried the Three sim card out of my mobile broadband GA6029 and was shocked to find that it did work.
So here i am with two three sims, one works with the phone, the other doesnt not.
All three said was to go to a shop so they can see it for themselves.
Do any of you have any ideas?
3G is activated? :silly:
Get a new SIM-card ... But it's best if you go to a three store and try one of their sim cards first. Pretty sure it will work. Maybe the sim card batch you got is faulty somehow and just not recognized by the phone. Exchanging the simcard shouldn't cost you anything if there's a technical problem.
Strange. My three sim works. It's a micro sim in an adapter. Maybe there is an alignment problem?

With android I don't know...
With the old K990 I just had to flash with an open firmware.
I have full size three sim works fine, but make sure data is enabled or you won't get a signal...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so an update.
I went to the three store yesterday. They let me try one of their demo sims and that worked. So they gave me a new sim. But once the sim activated, it yet again didnt work. Same as before though. The sim works in several other phones.
Does anyone know about different sim types?
The sim is a normal mini sim. But i am guessing that their are diferent sims for different phones?
Try microSIM from three. Maybe it helps.

I had the same problem with italian sim. I discovered that pulling the sim 1mm over the battery solve the problem. Maybe the contacts of the reader and the ones of the sim are not at the same distance when the sim is full inside the reader.
Hope will help

i am not sure its FULL size, since that includes the sim tray which in early 90s and forward was a complete card with simchip you could push out
the regulars or todays sim are mini-sim cards.see more here
I recently set up a VZW developer edition for my gf and she had been using it without any problems for about 6 days. Today she tells me she got some kind of pop-up message/warning that she can't remember the details of. The phone then rebooted and all service was gone. The phone is basically acting as if there's no SIM inserted now. I tried rebooting multiple times with and without the SIM inserted and still the same thing.
EDIT: OK, so I think the message she saw was just for a SU binary update.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It could just be a bad SIM card.

Yeah, it's either the SIM or the phone; easier to start with the SIM. I re-activated her old phone and ordered a new SIM priority overnight.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and could not find an answer to my issue. I purchased a T-mobile variant Galaxy S6 it was stuck on the Samsung logo but I only paid $100 so I figured worst case scenario sell it for parts. I managed to get it to boot everything works except cellular service. If I remove the Sim it says "Sim Card Removed" Restart. After restart it goes immediately to No Sim Card . I insert the Sim and it says "Sim card Detected" Restart. After Restart No Sim Card???? Checked IMEI its clean, flashed stock via Odin, pulled what little hair I had left out. Any words of wisdom? Thank you in advance for your time. forgot to add no mobile networks option at all in settings?
Does the SIM card work in another phone?
yes sim card works in other phones
Could be why you paid $100 for it. If your SIM works in another phone then there is a issue with the S6 being able to read your SIM. Have a friend with T-MOBILE? Try their SIM card. You might have a picky SIM.
of coarse it's why I paid a $100 for it, no matter what I can get my money back out of it but I was hoping to be able to fix it. Tried several sim cards same thing it recognizes the card restarts no sim card. I was thinking it might be the sim card reader itself but the fact that there's no Mobile networks in settings makes me think it's software related? Oh well I guess parts on ebay here I come. Anyone need a new display LoL
Same issue
Hi there. I have exactly the same issue with an O2 unlocked S6. I used my Ee sim on it till two weeks ago when suddenly i lost all network capacity (same as you). Previously i flashed an unbranded stock firmware in order to get rid of the o2 logo (may seem stupid but that was what i did). After 2 weeks of normal use with the new rom suddenaly i couldn't give/receive calls /texts. Since, i tried wiping, flashing, advanced wiping etc but same issue. Any advice is more than appreciated.
I have a galaxy s6 for tmobile. I have been using it fine for a while but the other day it gave me an error saying no sim card is inserted. I had a spare sim card and tried that one with no luck. I tried both sim cards in a different phone and worked with no problem. I have read about people dropping the phone and having sim card issues but thats not the case phone was not dropped. I noticed the sim card issue when i took it out my pocket to send a message and was not able to. the only thing i can think of is the sim card reader is shot some how?
I was wondering if there any other options for me to check before i go and get a new sim reader soldered in?
thanks in advance
