[Q] Problem - Galaxy Mini doesn't read SIM card. - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi there. I have a Galaxy Mini for over a year now with Mebitk's CM7.2.
Recently, I switched to Galaxy S3 and put my Mini aside. That was about a month ago.
Now, I try to put in my friend's sim card in it, and it doesn't read it. Tried with 3 other sim cards, and none are read.
Anybody has a clue on what might be the issue?

the issue is with baseband...try changing it...there is a guide in android development forum

Try Flashing to Original StockRom
Via Odin.

Tried both things, none worked.
I get the feeling it's not a software issue.
anybody else have any other suggestions?

It's probably a hardware problem. Last time I dropped mine and it can't read it. It doesn't ask for pin. After sending it to the service center, it fixed

Cheers
Get a new sim card?
Does your sim card work in a different phone?
That happened to me once. I had to return the phone. I was unable to get it to recognize the sim card.
Different rom didn't help either. Even when I flashed back to stock... no sim. It was a refurb so a new one was easy to get.
Hope you get it worked out.

This happened to me earlier this week. Flash to stock and then back to the rom worked for me

Clean contacts on sim card. Factory reset. If that doesn't work call Rogers for replacement.
No warranty you can replace the simcard slot its a daughter card I think you can order from globalpartsdirect
I have the exact same problem. Again it happened with a warranty phone I just received today. It occurred while trying to root the phone. The SIM card from my wife's iPhone does not work in my phone either. However, my SIM works in her phone. I've tried just about everything I can think of at this point other than running Kies (my next try).
BTW,
Unlike my original Captivate, this one came to me with Froyo already installed.
Under Menu /Settings / About phone /Status /Network what does it say ??
If it says "Unknown" you could try just flashing ur modem again.
I am having the exact same issue with a refurbished phone from AT&T and insurance gone im out of luck unless there is a easy solution.
Hello Everyone, So this is my situation so far:
I have a Samsung Captivate with unbrickable mod added. I flashed with Heindall to 2.2 froyo on linux. The SIM card is not recognized. I have triend 2.1 and 2.2 and 2.3 one clicks in windwons with no luck. I tried to mess with IMEI and elfs file. Results were that the lines i was suppose to change on nv.bin did not exist (no lines in file i was attempting to correct). So at this point and time can i conclude this is absolutely not a software issue? Problem two is if this is a hardware issue and not a software issue. Where do i begin? how much is the price for replacement? How hard is it to do? I have tried flashing with everything off the phone (sim and sd) Im a bit lost at this point. Any help would be great.
Update: Spoke with Adam and he says its not a software issue. I also spoke with the guys who did the soldering and said the issue is not coming from the soldering. I am thinking maybe when the phone was taken apart something got loose? Any thoughts anyone?

[Q] Sim Card Not Found

I have a Developers Edition, using an AT&T sim. I just got the sim about a month ago, as my previous phone had a normal sim instead of a micro. I'm running Android Revolution 8.1.
Intermittently, about once every two weeks, I lose all connectivity and it says sim card not found in the status bar. I reboot the phone and everything is fine. I've tried removing and re-installing the sim card twice now.
Has anyone else had this issue or know the cause?
I had that happen to my DE for this first time this morning. A reboot solved it (for now). If I'm not mistaken, this happened on the HTC One X and a number of people got new SIMs only to have the problem resurface. I guess we'll have to wait and see how many others are affected or if it's limited to only a handful of devices. I doubt if there's anything wrong with your SIM card, but AT&T will give you a replacement if you want to go that route and see.
I used to have the problem one my one x, it was caused by a poorly fitting sim tray combined with the body and back not being completely rigid (it was the same underlying problem which caused the screen flex and wifi problems on the one x). I solved the sim problem with a new sim tray but the underlying problem always remained of course...
Hello,
I am with international HTC One and I have already had this issue twice. But for me, rebooting the mobile does not solve the issue. The first time, after having switching 10 times with some other cards I had, it suddenly worked when I put the card from an Iphone.
This night, same issue again ! Up to now, even with changing with the same card, it does not work !
**** ! I don't know what to do......
Any ideas ?
i have had same issue with my ex One X . Went to service and replaced mobo.btw while all process service guys scrached the body,lost bluetooth sensivity,lost wifi sensivity,green-orange led became bigger light.
i hope something wrong with your Sim.or store can replace with new one . otherwise bad days waiting for your One.
Found this solution in another forum. Sounds like it might work.

Stubborn screen rotation problem Galaxy S5

I have been searching the Internet for finding a solution for my stubborn screen rotation problem with my recently bought Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F on Android 6.0.1). After having tried everything that I could find without result, I finally decided to return the S5 to the seller.
As I had to return a “clean” S5 I made a factory reset and removed the SIM and SDHC card. Just out of curiosity I booted the S5 again and to my surprise the screen rotation worked again and the self-test showed “passed”. Completely surprised I installed the SIM card again and the self-test remained OK. Then I installed the SDHC card again and saw that the self-test again produced a fail. This clearly lead to the weird conclusion that the presence of a SDHC card was to blame.
Consequently I repeated the test with a number of SDHC cards of different brands and sizes. No pass! Also formatting the cards in the S5 did not help. Only removing the card produced a pass for the gyro sensor again. Searching on the Internet did not reveal any similar weird behaviour. Did anyone encounter a similar error or does anyone have an idea what could be the cause?

[Q] Can "SIM card not inserted" be a software issue or just hardware

Is anyone still on these threads?
I need some advice from an experienced member. More of a theoretical issue - can a phone not recognizing a SIM card be a software issue if the wifi is working?
I'm having some trouble with an old phone (S4 active ATT I537). I managed to flash it back to stock and played around with it for a few days, rooting, a ROM etc then restarted it one time and now it will not recognize the SIM card. It's driving me crazy I tried cleaning the contacts but I'm about to just sell it as is.
-Same SIM works in an S4 I337 right after I take it out of the active and put it in
-Wifi works on both phones
