Hi, I bought a used unlocked T-Mobile Note 5 a few months ago and for the first month or so it worked great. Then I started getting this Sim Card Removed error occasionally. After a restart it would be fine for a while and then pop up again. Now it's basically constant, several times per hour I get this error and have to restart the phone, sometimes even immediately after a restart it pops up again, other times it'll go a few hours without popping up. I tried a fix I found online of taping the Sim Card into the Sim tray so it can't move, and it didn't help at all. The Sim card works just fine in my Nexus 6p, so it's not a sim card issue I don't think. Any help would be appreciated!!
Anyone got any ideas on this issue? I got a new SIM card and it's still happening.

Hi everyone... I bought a week ago a brand new Sony Xperia.
It was Vodafone braned but supposingly unlocked.
As I inserted my 3 UK sim-card for the first time the phone could not detect any simcard. After a few soft resets I decided to try with a Voafone card and it worked no problem, so I decided to try again my 3 sim-card and with joy this time everything worked to perfection.
After just a couple of days, all of a sudden the phone started losing the network and giving me a "sim card missing error"... this would happen every time I would activate the flight mode, or simply when the phone would lose signal for some reason... or even just randomly, for no reason. I've tried to flash different radios and different ROMs but the problem stays the same.
I know the sim card is ok as I was using it on an orange HTC touch diamond which I had unlocked and everything was working fine.
I have run the ATCommander and it says SIMLOCK=00 0 which I suppose it means the phone is unlocked...
It's as if the phone was randomly locking itself several times a day for no reason... and the only way to make it work is to soft-reset it about 10-15 times in a row... until it recognizes the sim card and then randomly stops working again a few hours later...
What can I do? Shall I just change operator? Has anyone experienced anything like this? Could 3UK and sony Xperia be incompatible?
Please help, I am desperate!!
sim card missing/no service
bro, i've had EXACTlY the same problem!!!
its due to simcard scratching by xperia housing design!
replaced my card and it worx a charm now, haven't had to double softreset yet, and before - it took 10-15 times before it got recognized- TRUST me - its the card, replace it - its free and should solve them pesky no service messages for u
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.
In the last 30 Mins for no reason my phone with Cambodia mm has not recognised my fingerprint (resolved by factory reset) and has started to not recognise my sim. Just says sim changed restart. Any ideas? It's been fine for 3 days.

Try factory reset.
I looked around online and others were suggesting inserting another sim, restarting it then reverting back to my original sim. That appeared to clear the problem. But the posts didn't explain why this happened in the first place?
I wondered whether a faulty sim was developing, or worse case the phone?
Further info...I moved to ee 3 weeks ago. I'm using it in an unlocked international Galaxy note 5 n920c which has worked perfectly on VODAFONE for 3 months. It seems to work ok on VODAFONE now.
i changed the SIM card on Saturday in an ee store to see if I had a dodgy sim and within a couple of hours the error came back.
ive cleared cache,done a factory reset and even downgraded from Cambodia marshmallow to uae lollipop. So far the error hasn't returned but it's been only a short time....has anyone else had issues?
anyone shed any light on what is going on? Possible to have corrupt cache cleared by the reinstall?
I've seen a lot of threads from Samsung owners using ee SIM cards with the same issue...
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.

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.
