I forgot the password on my e mail account on the phone, I thought I would factory reset it, when I do this the phone won't find the sim card, or any other network, I look in the settings for available networks, and it's got non and can't find any.so I thought maybe he needed unlocking butI had a look and it say's that the network lock off and so is everything else in that list. I even try putting different firmware on it like t mobile's firmware or vodafone I get the same reaction, no network availability on any sim card. is my phone bricked?
I can get everything else to work like the Internet, it's just that it will not recognised any sim card you put in there
Do you have still your IMEI number in settings->phone info?
And what helped me the other day, was to put the sim card out....clean it with a tissue or else and reinsert it again. Does the phone recognize an other sim card?

i have a problem with my diamond. It only reads my sim card, wont read any other sim card that is inserted. It was originally using XOR morna rom, done a new flash and still same problem. Re-flashed with a original HTC rom, but still same problem. I some how think its not a software problem as it has been flashed/hard-reset numerous times.
Any one know what problem can be or if anyone has same problem, with solution
thanks
kerim
Mmmm...
When you say it only reads 'your' SIM card, do you mean it's SIM locked. If you're on vodafone for instance, and you put another vodafone SIM in, does it recognise that? Or do you mean it won't allow any other SIM at all... even if the network's the same?
If it's the first option, your device is obviously SIM locked, if it's the second option, have you installed any security software like Ultimate Theft Alert, or similar, which will also block any other SIMs??
its not sim locked, it was an unbranded phone when i first got it. I am on three and have tried 3 different other three sim cards and also a vodaphone simcard, non of them work.
Its like there is no sim card at all. Im starting to thinbk its a hardware problem not software as i have flashed it few times now with different roms
any ideas, i need to get this working urgently
Mmmm...
Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's probably time to send it away
Hey Kerm when you put the sim cards does it ask you for for the pin??? or what you could do is see if you can try to clean the sim contact in your phone or run a eraser over the sim card contact and see if there is a difference
had a problem with an unreadable sim-card a few months ago as well; A new sim-card solved my problem... But since you are having trouble with 3 different cards, it might be a hardware problem in your case indeed.
doesnt ask for any pins, as soon as the phone starts up with another sim card inserted, it says no sim card. When it starts up with mu simcard inserted, phone function runs as normal, i can see reception bars etc
I had the same problem when i received my diamond. Tried several sim cards but none was recognized.
I received a new phone because it was a hardware failure.
Sounds like mu has a way of making a new kinda sim lock that only works with there phones ,I would digg a lil deeper and make sure its not a sim lock on your phone
what do you mean by MU, couldnt make it out. How can i find out about if its been sim locked
i just got the Galaxy S and i put the SIM card in but i get nothing! its like the SIM card isnt even in the phone i have the GSM version and my Carrier is GSM too Help me Please!
no need to be surprised.
it IS POSSIBLE that the SIM card you have is NOT compatible with the phone, why?
Because i exactly found this issue with another phone, but if i put another SIM card from any other cell phone company into it, then it works fine.
You might need to find a newer or older version of the SIM card from your cell phone provider
you can also ask friends / family to let you try their SIM card on your SGS to see if those reads fine
For some reason my LG Optimus 2x from Wind Mobile refuses to even look for a network. I go to settings and select manual for network, and it tries to look for half a second and then I get "error searching for networks" It's done this before, and usually just rebooting the phone would solve the problem. This time it had not solved the problem, my tried 3 different roms with no luck. I even took the sim card out and put into a my old Nokia, the phone was able to roam on the wind network and retrieve messages. I'm not really sure what the problem is anymore. I want to throw the phone against the wall, it's been a buggy piece of junk from the day I got it.
EDIT: It seems this is a Sim issue of some kind, I don't know if it's the Sim card or the Sim reader on the phone. It behaves the exact same way, regardless if there is a Sim card in it or not.
Final Edit: It was the Sim Card.
So a few days ago I went swimming with my N3 in my pocket. I pulled the battery (but not the SIM card) immediately afterwards and had it in rice within a few hours. I tried it 24 hours later, it boots up fine, everything works but I can't connect to cellular networks. The SIM works fine and the phone knows its there (it's not giving me an insert SIM error), but in settings it doesn't know the phone number, network, etc and obviously I can't connect to the network (WiFi is fine though). Also the SIM card is fine, I've tried it in other phones, and other phone's working SIMs don't work in my phone, and the microSD card is fine and works in the slot. Should I replace the SIM/microSD tray? Or try cleaning it out more? The contacts could be damaged somehow I guess. Thanks for the help guys
Did you check your apn settings to see if they are still there? Have you tried a different sim card in your phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Other working SIM cards have been tried and don't work, and I can't even access the APN settings when I click on mobile settings it says "Insert SIM card to access"
Sorry you're having trouble. There's definitely a bad connection somewhere. You can try to clean the contacts out in the SIM card slot. I'm not exactly sure how you would go about that since its a tight area. The next step would be to replace the SIM card slot. But there's no way of knowing if that would even fix it. Its just a starting point.
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.
