Dears,
I have had this phone for over a week now both my sims have been working in it flawlessly, Today it said while I was browsing "sim card inserted refreshing" then it reboot my phone. When it did sim 1 no longer reads the sim inserted in it so I replaced the sim1 and sim2 thinking the sim itself might have gone bad, guess what? Both sim cards work fine in sim 2 tray. Anyone has a solution for this?
See attached screenshot from the settings of the dual sim
I repeat both sim cards are functional it's the sim1 tray that seems to have a problem I hope it's a software issue I'm resetting factory now then updating the forum.
Please help

OMG! guess what? The new phone that they replaced me with did the exact same thing that the first phone did! I was surfing the internet then it refreshed sim cards and rebooted all by itself!! When it booted again sim1 isn't working anymore.... Please help this time I can't check with the warranty because I'm travelling won't be back to my country anytime soon... Do i can't get it replaced again till I get back, I'd appreciate any help or suggestions and yes I did repair phone on pc companion and still sim 1 not working and the phone is over heating more than the usual even without any sim card inserted...

C'mon guys 300 views and no one has any input on this matter? Please help anything might be useful, I'm travelling so I can't send it to the repair shop to be replaced again if that's what they'll do...

I have the same problem. The Simcard 1 just stopped working. Of course no one would reply because this is a hardware issue, since xda is more focused on development. As for me, I didn't do anything about it and lived with it. I am also sad that I didn't wait for Z5. Sony's refresh cycle is messed up.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! Well since the sim1 died the battery has been horrible and the heating extreme. Is the same happening for you? Did you contact Sony about it?

Help there just am update, I sent back my phone to Sony dealership they said sim 1 slot has been broken and it's not covered in the warranty since it's physically damaged. Well my only solution is to have a z3+dual with 1 sim lol anyway I think my first phone had the same issue but they replaced it anyway.

I am but anything careful on my devices and still, like you, mine was broken and why only on sim 1 slot? I think is their fault, clearly it is a design flaw.
Did you insert the tray correctly? If not, yes the tray might have damaged and that isn't covered by the warranty.
i have same problem , please u can tell me what do with The warranty and what tell you about the problem?!
I am from aamman same your city
Thank you

i put a microsim to sim adapter and it broke the sim contacts on the tray!! Thats why I don't have warranty. Do anyone know what can I do???
How much does Samsung charge for this repair? I think it is better to have them repair it.
U should try diferent micro sim before u buy main board, u have two type of micro sim , sim with smaller chip and with bigger, the smaller one are causing problem, some of them are not working and some of them have problem with contact.

and that someone screwed it up worse..... i should be able to fix it i pm'd you
..broke mine too!!
..did a similar thing to my Note.....the sim card caught one of the connectors in the sim tray and pulled it off!!!...found a cool video on how to dismantle it (1st video on on "dismantle galaxy note"search) on you tube....on closer inspection the connector had broken and pulled away from the circuit board too (not happy!!). Have hunted high and low to try and find someone who could supply a replacement main board....without any luck - if there's anyone out there that could point us in the write direction/add a link here....i'd love you forever!!
Really missing my Note right now!!!
New mobo for Galaxy Note? Check these guys out!!!
vicdroid84 you may be in luck......have found these guys, their based in Birmingham and are called Intercity business telecommunications (wont let me add the link here) tel:0121 643 7373.....have spoken to them, they can supply and fit a new mobo for about £130......takes about 48 hours upon them getting it to repair...am sending mine of today!!!!!........yipppeeeee!!
Samsung replaces the SIM tray. I read it is less than 50$ and sometime it is free.
Changing MOBO for a SIM tree is like changing a Car engine for a small nut
i recommend you take it to a company that's not Samsung to fix it, Samsung wont fix it if you don't have a warranty

Just pointing out to the OP that the above might be misinformation. The fix should be free if it's a warranty and $50 if it is a sim issue.
and as i said earlier.. if samsung wont fix it .. i can and will... and i can say so far i havent voided a warranty as in the warranty is still good after ive done the repair.. thats how clean..... so anyone with the problem just pm me... its legit too. got pretty good at board level repairs over the past 22 years working for some big name manufacturers... just trying to help...already helped a few on here....
Sim pins
I too broke off 1 of the 3 pins pulling a microsim out. I ordered and received the sim connector from parts4repair.com. But I think I have to solder off the current connector then solder on the replacement. Am I correct?

Just got a new phone, going to use Sgs as dev/ backup phone
on three network, sun card used to work but now I get no service, I can't add a Apn manually? Anyone got any ideas? Can sim card get tied to imei number?
Update.
Spoke to THREE (UK) they said that once a SIM card has been used in the SGS3, It can't be used in another phone! Guess the SGS1 will have to go :-(

Can you please help me by looking at your sim card tray - photo attached
Hi Folks, i think my Sim card tray is broken, can someone please have a look at their own and tell me if I am missing a pin (I have 'tried' to upload a photo, but it looks like a pin may be missing from behind the 3rd sim tray hole).
many thanks if you can help out...

Hey XDA Devs,
Well every time my dad gets a new phone I get his old one, he got the Xperia S so I got the Xperia T off him, my phone before this was the Arc S and it had one of the larger SIM card holders unlike the Xperia T which requires the smalled one. My dad cut down the SIM to size at about 3PM yesterday and worked fine all day, but I left it on charge over night woke up and the card apparently isn't in my phone... I've tried restarting and taking the sim out but I've had no luck and I need it for school at 8:25
Any help would be amazing as always and nice to have my first post on XDA

Speak to your carrier and get a free sim card that is the correct size.
PS, why would he go for a S after having the T? Why not the Z?
Probably he wanted his son to have the X T.
On topic, sim might have not seated properly or the sim might got damaged. Try seating it again or the last resort would be what Greg suggested.

Hey ty for both your suggestions, and I've got the T i used to have the arc S greg
I will probably ask my dad to get me a sim which is the right size, thank you
FIXED
Well i solved it, the 2nd suggestion saying make sure it's seated properly worked
Just moved it about a little now it's fine

OK, but i do suggest getting a proper card as well. You might as well, it is free and it will be more secure.
PS, I know you now have the T, but my question was why would your dad downgrade from a T to an S? If he wanted a new phone why didnt he go for the Z?
My dad didn't get the S, I got his old phone the T and he sold the S.. His new phone is that water proof sony one? i think it's the X i dont know;P

i recently purchased a phone and the phone is clean but the bugger sold me a phone which is locked and i mean hardlocked is there any way to get around it i do have the unlock code but it wont accept it.
this is a brand new phone and i cant use it at all.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
please post in the corect section.
Just send it back to the person you bought it off,,,
Have you tried the power on and volume up button trick? Press and hold them both untill it vibrates 3 times
I think he is talking about SIM lock, which will be locked down completely after too many failed attempts.
Until now there is no known solution other than to sell the phone and buy another one. Or try to get a refund through the seller. If you bought it using PayPal you can always use their services if you buy something that isn't what was offered/expected (complaints center)
Good luck!

Unless it's just got a gesture or password unlock when it boots then flashing a different rom would help?
Hit thanks if helped.
Cheers,

To be honest it's a sim lock issue cause I was going through cellunlocker.net and they are the ones who told me there is no unlock for it being hardlocked since no tries left. I'm looking for a way to use the phone cause I purchased it in person locally and lost the person info so I need to use this phone

My new phone stop reading the SimCard after 2 using days ("no simcard" reporting). I am sure It is not a software problem but on the other hand the SimCard socket hardware look like new. Unfortunately I don't have warranty... Any idea how to fix it? :crying:

It worked perfect 2 days and suddenly no calling in/out no SimCard...I tried all, cleaning the socket by electric spry etc. I root it and wipe all including factory reset. No SimCard... (the sim itself is ok on other phone). This phone is new and all its hardware just new. I loss $350 since I bought it with no warranty .:crying:

Only other option I can think of is flashing the 4.3 ML2 release via Odin, see if that kicks it into gear....

In the worst case scenario the spare part is not expensive and replace procedure is not that hard.
Just replaced USB charging port on mine and cost around $10 on eBay.

First off you should flash another version of the firmware on your phone just to double-check.
Try 4.2.2 and other versions of 4.4.2. If it doesn't work then try some of the custom firmwares like CarbonROM and others.
If it still doesn't work then your sim card reader is defective and needs to be replaced.
You can buy it from eBay (search for "S4 active sim tray") and order ascending by price. It costs about $6.2 without shipping.
It is fairly easy to replace, just pop a few screws out the back and it is the first little board that you see, disconnect the flex cable, take it out and put in the new board.
Alternatively if you cannot buy from ebay from various reasons, go to your local GSM repair shop and ask them to replace just the tray, it is compatible with multiple phones and it is replaceable by Hot Air rework.
Good day!
