Weird Nokia 8 sim-problem. - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

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.

Nokia 8 SIM card and WiFi not found
Hi,
I am having an extreme problem with my Nokia 8 Model TA 1012
My Sim Card is not detecting as well as WiFi. I have done Network reset and Factory reset too. My SIM card is working in other mobiles so SIM card has no any issue. I have tried with other SIM cards too.
So guys, any solution??

Hi.
I am very sad
I have the same problem.
What was the solution?
Thank you.

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.

SIM "disapearing" after 2mn

Hi all,
my wife just received her brand new phone yesterday, a Razr i, and we have a pretty annoying problem since unboxing...
When we turn it on, no problem.
But past like 2mn, we loose every networks except WiFi.
When i try to access SIM card it says "no connectivity", like if there is no SIM at all.
If i remove and insert back the SIM, nothing happens.
But if i reboot the phone, all is working again, for 2mn...
I tried several SIMs known working, same problem.
Tried wiping cache, factory reset, same problem.
Phone is under a french carrier (SFR) with their own 4.1.2 rom, it never asked for a system update, 4.1.2 out of the box :silly:
Do anybody see a solution ? I thought of flashing with a stock rom, but if it is a hardware problem, we're ****ed for the warranty...
I think we'll have to send it to the repair center, but it sucks, the phone is brand new, never worked, and she will have to wait 1-2 weeks to get it back...she was so happy to finally have it :crying:

I had the same...
The problem was related to the old SIM being stamped-out to make it a Micro SIM.
The carrier-shop provided me with a new SIM and all worked fine.
Some older SIM cards are not usable to be stamped out as their tolerances were not precise enough.
Good luck...

A new sim card you need
Like i said we tried several other sim cards, known working, the problem was still there :s
We sent it back for a repair or (i'd prefer) a change, because it looks like a problem that i can't resolve myself.
My wife will have to wait 1-2 weeks to get it back and finally have fun with it :s

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.

Sim card is visible but constantly No service

Good day, everyone.
I decided to ask for help because I cannot find any solution here and I'm out of ideas myself.
Three days ago my signal strength began to fluctuate. From full 4G to No Service, several times per hour, and eventually it stopped there. Sim card is visible but all I've got is No Service. I opened the phone and checked for possible damage but found nothing.
Thinking that it may be something software related I have installed Beast OS (sweet ROM, btw). That didn't help with signal problem. Still No Service. I've made clean flash from recovery several times, and tried different firmware versions but still no luck. Today I flashed MIUI Global 11.0.2 via flashboot but that didn't help either. Oh, yeah. One more thing that may or may not give you a hint. When I used *#*#4636#*#* while on Beast OS I couldn't turn radio on. I can do that now on stock ROM but it doesn't help either.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what can I do, let me know before I give up on this otherwise really good phone.
Just to clarify, microSD card works just fine but SIM card put in the same slot still has that connectivity problem.

Sony XZ3 not connecting to network - help

I have a Sony XZ3 which was bought second hand 18 months ago. It's worked fine until about 1 month ago when it didn't get good signal or data anymore.
I am in the UK and use a giffgaff sim which runs on the o2 network. I found after some investigation that the phone for some reason was now connected to The Virgin network and I can't get it off.
Giffgaff have not been able to help, they said the phone is now locked to Virgin, Virgin said the phone is not locked but they did confirm that when it was bought new it was from them. Checking the handset it actually does say unlocked.
Have done a sim swap - the sim works fine, it's the phone that's the problem. It does the same with a different giffgaff sim in it.
Have reset network but it doesn't work and just defaults back to Virgin again. Have done factory reset 3 times but again just defaults back to Virgin every time. It says all other networks unavailable.
Can someone help please with what to do next?
Is there some kind of hard reset which will wipe everything including whatever is causing it to be switching to Virgin all the time? Or some way to override it?
It still shows no signal most of the time even though it says it's on Virgin
Thank you.
Hi everyone. I have the same problem. Since some weeks ago my phone doesn't recognize any network, not wifi or mobile and the it reset alone. I was told that it might be a software problem. I have already done factory reset and software repair from xperia companion but the problem persists.
I don't know if any of you knows if this is a hardware problem. But also I was trying to install a custom rom for android 11 to see if the problem is solved, but I can't unlock the bootloader either. I followed Sony official instructions to do this but for some reason Windows 10 doesn't recognize the phone after I turn it off and the press and hold the volume up button while connecting the phone to the PC with the usb cable. The drivers are installed but in the device manager it appears with a code 10 saying that the device might not be able to be recognize.
I have already checked if I can unlock the bootloader and it says yes.
Thank you very much.

No mobile network connection, no IMEI

Hello,
my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro running on stock MIUI Global 12.5.1.0 (RFKEUXM) can now suddenly not connect to my mobile carrier.
I hope somebody can help me out.
Some facts and stuff I have tried:
The connectivity icon on the top is just grayed out now and shows an X.
But that was not the case in the morning today.
At that time it showed full bars, but not the usual 4G text and the mobile internet did not work. After some attempts written below it is now just gray.
Mobile internet and cell service do not work.
I have rebooted multiple times.
The IMEI for both SIM slots is shown as 0.
No baseband version is shown.
(I am sure that this was also not the case early in the morning.)
I have never installed a custom ROM on this device, bootloader was never unlocked.
The SIM card is correctly inserted and the phone number is shown in the settings for SIM slot 1.
Trying SIM slot 2 (incl. reboot) did not fix the problem.
The SIM status shows that the service is not available, also on the top left when the phone is locked. ("Dienst nicht verfügbar" in German locale.)
Trying the SIM in another phone works, which I think makes it not a carrier problem.
Trying another SIM in my phone also does not work.
I unfortunately had dropped the phone days before, but no damage visible at all (phone case FTW).
Also it worked without problems, which makes me hope this is not hardware related.
WLAN works, so internet connectivity is possible.
Phone is out of warranty.
I did search for other threads with similar issues, but they all seem to be related to having flashed custom ROMs and then losing the IMEI.
Does somebody have any idea how I can fix this?
Thank you!
Edit: I just remembered/saw that I did do the "Xiaomi Service Framework" system app update to version 6.0.6-G yesterday night, maybe that caused the problem? Currently researching on how to roll that back. If somebody knows, please do tell.

Did you check Settings, SIM cards and Mobile networks, SIM 1 (if SIM is in Slot 1)
Do you have Turn on? If Turned Off, then do Turn On
If not, ie if it does not recognize the SIM card, then it looks like a hardware issue
Assuming, as you say, that SIM card is ok, correctly inserted, and that phone runs only the stock firmware - hence no root, no custom ROM, no custom Recovery (that user could possibly wipe partitions), etc
Maybe, some connection got loose and later disconnected completely
Thanks for you answer.
I am sure the SIM is inserted correctly and working. It's been in there probably for years now.
Don't know if you saw my update above about "Xiaomi Service Framework". Checking that right now. Maybe I should just do a factory reset.
What I have noticed now a couple of times is that the phone crashes and reboots, just now happened when I connect for USB debugging or before when trying to enter the SIM pin after a reboot, ...

Agreed, therefore I am sure the SIM is recognized. The phone even shows my number and the SIM has the carrier name.

If the carrier name is recognized, then IMEI cannot be NULL

Try to play with Preferred network type setting
Maybe something really got wrong with the updated Framework

AFAIK too - but without IMEI it could not attach to the network and therefore cannot show carrier name
Hence strange, and/or the contradictory descriptions/observations

Ohh, sry there is a misunderstanding.
The carrier name is only shown as the NAME of the SIM card (I guess it is stored on there or the phone has remembered it). But there is NO connection or carrier name shown in the top notification bar.

Yeah but you still have unknown IMEI - that's something that should have not happened
Anyway, go to Preferred Network Type and try with Prefer 4G, Prefer 3G or Prefer 2G - maybe, with the updated Framework, something went wrong with the bands support or so
If it wouldn't help, then I'm out of the ideas how to solve
So I did do a hard reset now, and it worked for a short time (IMEI is back), then it doesn't again, and ... just now again. It really is not stable.
Thx. I will post updates when I know more.
Unfortunately the phone keeps crashing and rebooting when using it. It just freezes and restarts, and sometimes it takes a long time to restart (seems like a crash loop).
Twice I also saw some graphic artifacts (bright magenta and green) on a small part of the screen.
I don't think this is just a mobile network connection problem anymore.
BTW: I have installed an older version of Xiaomi Service Framework (also the hard reset reverted it to a much older version), but that did not help.
Hey!!
I hope you doing great
Did you manage to solve the issue?
@Fawad Hussain
Unfortunately I could not solve it, so I am not able to use the device anymore.
Btw, as far as I can see there is no current smartphone without a notch/punch hole which is not gigantic (ASUS Rog Phone 6).

Same thing happened to me, I have managed to get it thanks to this guy in the video which I don't understand what he is saying but I just followed his steps, so if you are looking for a solution this video is.
But my device is not rooted and bootloader is locked, I tried ways but don't know how to root it or unlock bootloader properly
