Hello,
I have one issue with my X10: It was not starting, after removing the battery and waiting some time it started again but than at a moment was dead again. I went to the service center, they checked it and when I got it back it was working. After inserting SIM card and SD card (I gave it to the service without SD card) it died again. Went back to the service, they said is OK, got it back and it's still dead when inserting the SIM card. I am wondering if in the service they tested it with SIM card. I am already fed-up with this issue, I had the phone away in service for 2 weeks now. Ho can I convince them that my phone is dead and they need to replace it (it is still under warranty)? I tried even at home to re install the software with SEUS/Emma and stil the same, it doesn't start with SIM card in it.
Any suggestions welcome...

Have you tried starting it without SD card?
If it still fails to boot you should try another sim. If you don't have one go to the shop of your service provider and ask if they want to test your phone there. With and without sim.

Tried all options. What is strange is that after a while (few hours) phone without SIM and SD card starts. I am checking with another SIM maybe the problem is because of the SIM.

I had a issue where my SD got lightly scratched leaving it damaged.
My x10 would not start i replaced it with a newer one and bam problem solved.
Recommendations can insert the sim card to see another family, SD card can take a look at other tests to see
If you still can not read, recommended direct repair, as is still under warranty
I have met a SIM card chip can not read too ~ ~

My phone has already killed one SD card and is now ruining my backup card. It starts off with the card losing all it's data, I replace it and soon enough it gets erased again! This last time, it not only etased the data, but made the catd unrecognizable. It shows up as a blank SD card on the phone, but when I go to reformat, I follow the prompt, and when I click the final "are u sure u want to format," it just returns to the SD card settings page.. no error, no nothing! When I connect it to my computer via an SF Card reader it's not even recognized. Now I'm using another SD Card and it's been erased twice already. With both cards, only a directory called "LOST.DIR" remains post data loss. Anyone else experience this problem and found a fix? This problem has been happening sice I've owned the phone, but by the time I figured out it was a problem w/ the phone and not the card it was past the 14 days T-Mobile gives u to exchange the phone for free. Luckily I got insurance. Do they still have local service centers, or is it all done through the mail now?
If you've had the phone less than a year you can have it serviced/replaced under warranty. As for local repair centers, it mainly depends where you are.

I'm not sure if this is a common issue or just an issue with my sim card.
Looks like the sim card just stopped working this morning. I can't make/receive any calls or texts and the lock screen says "Please insert SIM card and restart".
I've restarted about 3 times now and have tried removing and reinserting the sim card, with no luck.
I figure I'll need to take it into a T-Mobile shop to get a new sim card, but my Vibrant has been rooted and has a the Obsidian Froyo rom installed.
Should I just plug the SIM into my old blackberry and take it in that way for replacement?
Or is this some known issue that can be easily fixed?

I have had this happen to me twice. Once, the SIM went bad (it happens).
I called TMO told them that it's not working & they said they'd get me a new SIM. I had the option of going to an authorized TMO store or getting it mailed to me. I went to a store, they installed & it off I went.
The other time, I took some rubbing alcohol and a QTip to it & cleaned it up, let it dry, put it back in & it's been working for a little over a week now
So, I'd try giving it a cleaning first and if that doesn't work, give TMO a call.
If they don't know that you have the Vibrant and think you still have a BB, then yeah, I'd put it back in that rather than bringing in the Vibrant if you have to go to the store. It's just easier when the person helping you isn't trying to force you to change your plan at the same time.
Question: The phone won't let you do anything without a SIM card? If that's true, that's just another reason to be glad I SIM unlocked my phone....that would get annoying!
Old Tmobile sim cards actually have a certain amount of times they can connect to the network tower. If you use airplane mode a lot it you may reach this point quickly.
And some sims cards just go bad. Which I think is the case with yours tjhart85. Take the phone and card to Tmobile. Tmobile will change the sim card for free.
Yup, turned out the sim card just went bad. Called up T-Mobile customer service, they put a not on my acount, and went into my local T-Mobile store and got a new sim card. Phones working great now. They didn't even ask for the old one and didn't have to look at my phone.
Thanks guys!
My wife ATT S4 started to get the message that SIM card was not detected and the phone rebooted automatically after, after dealing with this for a while we took it to the store and nad the SIM card replaced, It work ok for a couple of days and started with the same issue again, we change the SIM card again with same results, so i decided to replace the SIM card holder i ordered the part and replaced it successfully and after a couple of days AGAIN start with the same issue.
The phone is out of warranty and i have no insurance on it, I have not reset the OS yet, any recommendations??
If i replace the motherboard will that fix that issue??
please any feed back will be greatly appreciated
Hi everyone,
Yesterday my phone stoped to recognise the sim-card.
At first i got a message with sim-card problem and the phone need to be restarted.
After that sim worked a day and now i cant use any sim in this phone. I tried it with 4 cards.
I've tried new roms , and paper on sim-card reader. Still "no sim card"!
Is it possible to repair it or is it Motherboard problem?
Thanks.
Have it checked in a authorised Samsung Service Centre mate. I had that problem twice in one day few days back, but since then its running fine! I was really scared, thought I would have to visit SC, but it went away on its own! I don't think Motherboard needs to be changed, only the SIM slot if its damaged.

Thanks for your answer. My phone doesn't recognise any card now. Since 2 days. I don't think it can go away on its own
Got the same problem. Probably your sim card slot got some loose like mine. I put a little piece of paper into it on the back of sim card. It caused that my sim card was inserted tighter into slot and it is working again.
It occured that it was the sim card problem. I had it again but it was strange because it worked on my sony xperia sp. But my note 4 didnt see it. I checked other sim card and it work flawless
Hello
A couple of days ago I took out my sim card, then tried to put back in, but couldn't because there was some resistance, so I applied a little bit of force and put the card back. The force was not that much, I don't think I broke any of the sim pins but seems like I did, because no matter what I do sim is not recognized.
How can I make sure there's a hardware problem without opening the phone?
Same problem here. It appears to be something rellated to the IMEI and now I'm trying to recover it using QPST.
