Hi ! You are my last hope ! Just got N4 from USA, unlocked and all. I've cut my sim to fit the slot and it still works - i tested it on my sister's iphone. N4 absolutely refuses to see the network and upon connecting says "your sim card does not allow connection to the network". I am in Russia on MTS cell provider (all other androids are just fine) and I think it is just GSM and 3G provider. The N4 is stock.... Please, please help as I am in shock !! Much thanks in advance !
Do other sim cards work in the n4?
same problem
I had the same problem.
Had a Sim that worked just fine and used the same that was going to use for the nexus 4 and didn't work.
Now both Sims doesn't work at all is there anything that could be done?
Please help

The N4 is finicky with cut sims. Many users have had problems with cut sims that work in one phone but not in the N4. Others get them working for a while and then they error. Others manage to get them cut perfectly and they work.
You need to get a real micro sim. Don't use cut down ones.

Hi guys,
I've recently bought the Xperia x10 mobile(unbranded) and subscribed for a new 3g connection(bsnl prepaid connection) so that I can use 3g in my mobile.
But, X10 doesn't recognise my bsnl sim. It's saying that there is "no sim card in the phone" and when I unlock my phone it just keeps on showing me the "activating phone" message forever.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks
P.S. I've tried some other sim cards(2g ones) in my phone and all of them are working and my 3g simcard is working in other 3g mobiles. The only problem is with the particular simcard and x10.
P.P.S I'm going to visit SE service center, but just wanted to know if there's any existing issue with SE and any 3G bands.
Exactly the same as mine. After trying several SIM cards it appears that the phone will recognise any that just have the 7 contacts on the back. If they more contacts around the side (enhanced SIM?!) - it will not recognise them.
Hi people!
Help if somebody know please. Now I am in Bangladesh, and I got local sim card, the problem is that I cannot connect internet. APNS are right, but there is no connection. They have only 2G, but at least I can use some whatsapp staff. I was thinking, maybe there is a problem with cut sim card? Cus normally in small shops they do not sell micro sim card, and they cut it when I bought it. Can it be problem with wrong cut? or what?
p.c other people with me, who bought sim card do not have this problem.

it depends on the coverage of the service provider in the place where you reside..
try connecting to internet in some other place.. if it doesn't work then get a SIM of a different service provider
I brought S4 just another day and when I insert sim card the phone says "No sim Card" but I inserted it already!
Its micro sim i'm buying another sim card today and see if it works,
Will customer service fix this if the problem is in the phone ? If yes then is it covered by warranty ?
Any help? maybe its software problem

And how exactly he should or anyone should know what's exactly your problem? Can be hardware or the simcard. This is up to you to find out.
First try a new simcard , and try to get one micro sim factory cut if you can, if still nothing means is hardware.
Did you put it in wrong?

You have the answer on this topic, if doesn't work with any simcard, bring it back.
GT I9505 doesn't detect LTE sim, works fine with 3g Sim
Hello all !
I own a 2.5 year old GT i9505 (LTE variant) which works completely fine with a 3g Sim but the "Sim Card not inserted" error appears as soon as a 4g Compatible Sim is inserted. Could this be a modem issue ?
I live in India (got the phone from Europe) and have been using 3g services without any hitch for the past 2 years. Vodafone recently launched 4G services here and my phone doesn't detect the new 4G Sim card .
My phone shows the LTE/WCDMA/GSM modes but doesn't detect the Sim card.
Tried with another Sim from the store that doesnt work either.
Details :
AP: I9505XXUHOJ2
CP: I9505XXUHOJ2
CSC: I9505EURHOJ1
All ideas and solutions are appreciated.
It's possible that there is something wrong with the phone's sim card reader. You could replace the reader for not a lot of money and it's easy to do yourself.
Maybe your phone is unable to detect LTE Networks from Vodafone India because from what I research, India uses TDD-LTE. You could Google-d LTE bands that used in India and compare it with your phone's supported LTE bands.

Thanks for your reply.
I considered that option but a 3g sim works perfectly. Do you still think it would help ?

I guess I am just lucky my phone supports both.

Still no luck !
I don't know that much about sim card technology. Have you tried the LTE sim card in a very old phone to see if the old phone detects the sim?

I did infact it works with every phone except this one.
Leads me to conclude it is the sim reader or motherboard if no LTE SIM cards work. Doesn't seem like software.

From what I can see on http://www.telus.com/en/bc/mobility/network/coverage-map.jsp Telus doen't operate a 2G network. The sim that is not using data uses only 2G network, and there is the problem for you
I use two sim from same carrier and no issues, my carrier support 2g/3g/lte, sim with data on is 3g/lte and sim without data always fall to slowest network
If your carrier only support 3g you won't be able to use two sims.

HI EVERYONE,
Hope you can help me or give an advice...
I got Xperia Z5 Dual Sim Card phone. I'm on UK network. If I use both sim slots with the same provider, one of the slots stops working immediately. Shows no signal bars whatsoever. As soon as I use two different sim cards from different providers, both work fine. I called my network provider, but they state it's a phones fault.
Has anyone experienced anything like that?
Can you buy new sim card? And try with the new one

Could it be your carrier doesn't have GSM coverage in your area?
I think 3 in the UK does not have GSM. When you are in 'dual standby' mode one of the SIM cards MUST be on GSM only mode, therefore if your carrier doesn't have GSM it will never connect. This is a funny limitation, but it's what allows for dual standby phones to be made relatively simple without having to have two radios for two carriers, which would make the phone a lot bigger and complicated.
I went to the actual store and swapped the sim cards, but nothing helped

I never thought of that... It's strange as I went to Vodafone store and they said they don't support dual sim card phones at all.
I am actually with network 3, so thought there shouldn't be issues like this. Another funny thing is, that if I swap the slots with the same network 3 sim cards, sometimes slot No1 and sometimes slot No2 isn't working. As soon as I put one Vodafone and the other network 3 sim cards, both slots work just fine

I used my Z5 Dual when I was in the UK and was having real problems getting the EE sim card to work on the data side, it seems that when I put in the EE card my phone restarts (annoying but standard) and it resets the data preference to 3G which meant that I had no coverage. As soon as I switched the data preference to LTE it was up and running full guns again.

Thanks for you answer. Seems that it's more to do with the provider then the actual phone.
Sad that phone like this couldn't be used to it's full potential
