No data on certain SIM when placed in slot 1 - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My moto g (xt1068) was working fine, when suddenly I noticed that I hadn't have data, even though they were enabled.
I rebooted the phone, turned on and off the airplane mode, but nothing changed. I thought it was a SIM error, but when I placed the same SIM in slot 2, data worked fine.
After that, I placed it again in slot 1, but no data again.
So, I thought it was a hardware problem and something went wrong with slot 1. To verify this, I placed another SIM card in slot 1, but this time data worked again!
So, what could it be?
I am a bit bored of doing a full reset, since I will have to do it again when lollipop arrives.
Has anyone had the same issue? Do you got any workaround? I wouldn't mind reseting, but I would prefer it to be my last option, before of course sending my phone to a repair center.
Thank you

Kernel Panic Upload Mode

Hello,
My galaxy s3 LTE keeps randomly loosing reception and on a rest goes into kernel panic upload mode. It is rooted and has TWRP, it is currently running the sentinel rom. I feel as though it may be something with the sim card slot. I cut a normal sized sim to fit in prior to getting a proper micro sim. If I reset it goes into the panic mode and will stay there until I boot without a sim card, shutdown and restart with the sim card in. I have formatted the data and system partitions. It only happens maybe once a week, which I dont mind. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
James

Hi James,i have the i9300 but i guess this is the same issue.
Mine when i had my homemade sim,kept on loosing signal sometimes and showed the message:
"Sim card has been removed."
And forced me to reboot my phone! -.^
Anyway,it hasn't shown this message to me since i got a proper sim card and i suggest you do the same. (it costs around 5 euros here,kinda cheap)
I have a proper micro sim now. It seems to have the same problem. Much less often than when I had my home cut sim

[Q] Nano sim activation through Verizon - insight needed

I'm unsure if my problem has to do with Verizon or if I need to run a factory reset or try other options. Here's my story:
As soon as the phone arrived today, I unlocked, rooted, and flashed TWRP. No sim was in at any point since I didn't have a nano sim to use for it.
I tried cutting my Galaxy Nexus micro sim into a nano sim (apparently this works for some people), but the N6 states "no sim card - no service" so I don't think it worked.
Went to a Verizon store and got a nano sim for 28 cents, but the clerk couldn't activate it or bind it to my account since Verizon doesn't have the N6 IMEI numbers in their database. He told me to call support. Support was actually helpful, somewhat knowledgeable at least, and tried to activate the sim card over the phone.
Apparently the sim is pending activation from the phone, but I'm still getting the "no sim card - no service" errors. Does anyone know if this error means that it can't connect to the network, or if the phone thinks the sim is physically missing? There seems to be only one way to add the sim to the little tray as far as I can tell (gold face up, matched corner).
Has anyone else had similar issues? Should I try reverting (unroot/stock recovery/etc)? I'm not sure what the best approach is to activate the sim as I'm uncertain if the issue is still with Verizon or the N6.
EDIT: Everything is working now. For those of you moving from a phone with a micro sim, all you need to do is:
1. Cut the micro card down to the size of a nano
2. Drop it in your nexus6
3. Make sure wifi is off if you've already run through the setup. This was my mistake!
4. Give it a few minutes and you'll see the mobile icon flash LTE
It may help if you change your mobile network settings to LTE preferred.
Same thing happened to me. Did you try spinning the sim card around? The notched corner didn't look so much like a notch by the time I was done trimming...

Interesting. I trimmed off all the white plastic on the left and right sides so that I can rotate it or even flip it over. Going to try a few permutations... nothing yet. That's all it took eh?
That's all it took for me. Everything works. Data, voice, sms,mms... Everything.:good:

Still no dice. The gold face should be face up, right? I noticed that after a few minutes the error changes to "selected network unavailable", so maybe I'm putting it in right but now its just not being registered.
So far in my experience that message means you need to nuke and repave, including userdata.....YMMV
EDIT: Probably easier to get a new SIM from VZW, thats what I did

Thanks, I'll try a factory reset. I'm only running stock... can't imagine root or custom recovery would prevent the sim from being recognized. Perhaps when you click "skip" for the sim card part of the setup it can never be reconciled.
Factory reset didn't work either. Really irritating, it looks like the N6 that shipped from the play store came with android 5.0 instead of 5.0.0 or 5.0.1... possibly a development version from months ago?
I flashed the latest 5.0.1 factory images (boot, system, radio), then flashed TWRP, then did a factory reset to wipe data. At the setup prompt when I rebooted, it still says "insert sim card".
I'm not sure what else to try. If the sim card isn't activated I can't tell if that's why it wants me to insert a card, or if it physically thinks it is missing. I may need to order a nano sim to micro sim adapter, then put that in my old gnex and activate it that way, and finally move it over to the N6.
Does anyone have any other ideas or think I may have overlooked something?

All of the stock shipped with 5.0 so far. Not 5.0.0. 5.0.1 update notification "should" arrive after initial bootup
Contacts screen side up. It took a while to get onto the network initially. .#.#4636#.#. On the dialer opens a testing menu. There is a drop down menu, middle of the phone info page. Mine is set to lte/cdma auto
Thanks, never knew about hidden dialer apps. I set mine to the same. It's been a few hours and still no connection, so I'm going to assume the fact that the sim isn't activated is what's causing the phone to believe it's not inserted. I really need another phone to test with... if the sim card can be activated or work on another device, and still doesn't work in the N6, then it'd be a hardware problem.
Also good to know 5.0 is standard.
Update: I tried using the cut micro sim again, but this time turned wifi off. Looks like cutting the micro sim worked after all. I'm somewhat recognized by the network, but the sim used no longer maps to my account, so I'm getting a verizon webpage stating "device error" and to call customer support. I think if I can get verizon to revert changes made on my account yesterday back to the gnex with my old sim that this will work.
Moral of the story - cutting micro sim cards will work, but turn off wifi when trying to test your sim!
I'll report back once this is finally resolved. Hopefully this helps someone else.
Got it working - just had to get a new micro sim for my gnex, re-activate that device, then I was able to cut it down to nano size and load it into my nexus6. With wifi off this time, everything worked, and it connected to the network.
I've updated the original post with instructions for anyone else who might be having this problem.

SIM-error and hangups

I recently purchased Nexus 6 and since it uses nano-sim, I used a sim-card cutter to make my micro-sim a nano sim. Worked fine for a while but then all of a sudden I started getting messages about no sim card. Reboot always fixes the issue, but this happens like 30 times a day, so rebooting the phone that often doesn't seem like a good idea. The phone also freezes all the time, no matter what I do, and then at other times it works like a wonder. I've had a Nexus 6 phone before (this is my 2nd) and it had the same issue. Apparently nothing was wrong with it.
Is the SIM-card causing these freezes, or is this a part of the world-wide issue that has been reported recently in the media? No other phone has had issues with my SIM-card, even though I used the cutter to make it nano. So I doubt it's a faulty sim-card. I've tried LG G4, Xperia z3+ and others and they've not had any issues with the cut sim.
edit
I've noticed the freezing happens most when I've recently charged the phone. Last night I left the phone on charger and when I woke up, the phone had switched itself off.
edit2
I've tried resetting the phone, also hard reset. Didn't help.
A method to check if your cutted sim card is damaged or not is to remove the sim card and replace it with a working sim card of another phone.

It happened to the wifey, and swapping with my SIM confirmed it.

I had a similar problem, after first update in android 7.whatever my sim card worked but couldnt go online, just via wifi. I could make calls and recieve texts. I got a new simcard and that helped. Later Oreo came and my phone glitched out when i had the simcard installed. But when i took it out it worked. Sent it to nokia support center and got it back today, what happend? Yes the phone works, i can make and recieve calls/texts. But i cant go online without wifi. Asked my provider for a new sim card now, will return and write if that works.
and I have this problem. Have you found a solution?
Weird, my TA-1052 suddenly got this problem yesterday, SIM card state keep looping between detected and undetected, after several loops phone will reboot and reboot again and again.
But when I switch the card to the other slot and reboot, all things seem to be fine. Then at some random time of the day this problem shows up again and I have to switch the card back.
I can 100% reproduce this bug by insert 2 SIM cards together, phone will stuck in a loop and reboot, but logcat shows nothing suspicious.
Tried factory reset but nothing happened.
Since both SIM card slots actually work and I haven't updated system recently, I guess this shouldn't be hardware-related.

Weird Nokia 8 sim-problem.

Sorry if this kind of problem has come up before, but I couldn't find anything similar to this so I decided to ask you guys if you have seen this before.
So, my problem started out of nowhere, my Nokia 8 (TA-1004) lost wifi and mobile data. I can't connect to wifi anymore and I have no service.
So here comes the weird part. My sim works in every other phone I've tested it, it just doesn't work in mine, AND every other sim card I've tested in my phone
works fine. My sim also blocks my wifi somehow, if it's inserted, it keeps turning off my phone's wifi, no matter how many times I keep turning it on. If I take
sim out, wifi works fine.
I forgot to mention that when this first occurred, I managed to get it work by turning on my phone with my brother's sim inserted, then switching his sim to mine without turning the phone off.
If I turned it off, the problem came back. Now, after Oreo 8.1 update and new sim-card, even this method doesn't work. Nothing has worked since.
Here's what I've done:
-Got new sim-card
-Factory reset through settings
-Wipe data/factory reset through recovery
-I called my operator, they didn't know what the problem is. They recommended to send my phone to manufacturer, but I hope it doesn't come to that. And maybe they
would try their sims in my phone and they would think there is no problem so no need to do anything.
Any help is highly appreciated, thanks
This is very strange problem. Only thing that comes to my mind as a solution is choosing the network by yourself
Sent from my TA-1012 using XDA Labs
I can't change any mobile network settings, because my sim card is detected only for a few seconds and then it's not, so it keeps turning it on and off.
Now I've tried my phone with two sim cards, my brother's (which worked fine on its own) and mine, and turns out that with my sim the other sim doesn't work either.
Same problem here...
every sim card works on the nokia 8 except the one that needs to work...
every other telephone works fine with said sim...
It is a complete new phone so we never tried it with an earlier version than android 8.1
Same problem here, I'm not sure if I downgrade the phone to 7.1 will it work again
Hello,
I have quite similar problem with my phone apart the fact that it was working perfectly with data until I receive Android Oreo 8.1 update (security update 1st Mai 2018). Since this upgrade data doesn't work with my SIM into Slot 1.
When I use the same SIM into slot 2 (hybrid slot that normally contains my memory card) then Data is back.
Do you have the same on your phone?
PS : I've contacted Nokia and their answer is : We have a lot of users reporting this, we are working on it.... I'm miss my old samsung S5....at least the updates were tested before release.
Nokia hotspot failed
I have the similar problem as I've changed the service provider. The new service has 50GB data volume. When turned the hotspot on for wifi sharing with my family, this function did not work but it was showing other devices had connected to the Nokia 8 but unable to use the wifi sharing. Therefore, I inserted the new 50GB sim to my daughter's iPhone 6 and it was running well when turned the iPhone 6 hotspot on. i.e. the sim card got nothing wrong. I did ask Nokia support and they did not find any issues on my Nokia 8. I reckon that must be the phone software / firmware problem as I could share the wifi for my family before I switched to the new service provider. Hope Nokia fix up this issue when they launch the new update. I feel depressed on this brand. I'd been using iPhones & Google Nexus 5 were running perfectly except Nokia.

Hey there,
I'm having the cellular connection dropping out 80% of the time and then coming back on randomly 20% of the time since the latest beta update (build 00WW_5_110_SP01).
I asked to revert back to the latest stable build OTA several days ago and still no notification.
