Hey Guys,
Got my Nexus 4 yesterday and took a working sim and cut it down and inserted it into the phone and had no signal nothing. So today i went and got another sim cut by a shop and put it in and still nothing.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
Does the phone recognize the SIM at all?

Well I can scan for networks but wont let me join any, even the one that the sim is (Cell C)
Did you try inserting the sim when the phone is off ? When I inserted the sim, the phone was on and it would not recognize the sim even after reboot.

I did it while off :/
How do you fix your issue?
Thanks for the help?
Did you use a sim cutter or did you use scissors ?
The sim needs to be completely flush on the tray.
Remove the sim and turn off the phone. Insert it, and power it on...

Get a real micro sim. Don't use a cut down one.

Hey guys bought my HD2 off craigslist and he claimed it to be GSM unlocked. This means i can use it overseas on those GSM carriers right? or on ATT here in the states? If so how can i tell it is truly unlocked? Thanks again great xda-developer members!
put a sim in it, any sim except the original networks sim. if it askks for an unlock code its locked.

There is no such thing as a CDMA SIM card, aside from Nextel SIM cards that use the iDEN network. Try another SIM.

Yeah there isn't that's why I questioned the fact of the sim card being from a cdma phone. But you were eight apparently you can put the card in too far lol. It found the card and just said mobile network unavailable. No passwords or anything. So I'm guessing it is unlocked?

Bought my nexus 4 in Germany and now tried a swedish sim-card (telenor) but all I get is "no simcard". The exact same card works perfectly on my old sgs2.
umm, doesn't the SGS2 use a regular size SIM and not micro-SIM which the nexus 4 uses? Odds are you're probably already aware of this.
I've tried a 'foreign' SIM card and it worked fine on my phone (Etisalat from the UAE on a Canadian bought phone).
Yes it does I'm using an adapter for my sgs2 Same card though.

Perhaps the adapter is the problem, making the connection between the Sim and phone weak, etc.

he would probably use the adapter on the SGS2 and not the Nexus 4.
Best bet is always to test another SIM on your phone. I doubt it is an issue with the phone but that is probably the best way to find out.
Not really sure of what else to suggest. Like I said, I've tried SIMs from different countries in this phone and they work fine.

Yeah an adapter for the nex4 wouldn't make much sense.
I don't have another swedish sim, but my german one works without problems. Maybe I should ask a buddy.

I recently travelled to Hong Kong and put in a SIM that I bought from there and it worked great.
So I just got a nexus 4 from a cousin in the US that brought it to Mexico for me, I am trying to use my microSIM from my note2 but it will not read it, my carrier here is Telcel and if I got to movile networks and search for network operators it does find mine (Telcel) but it will not read the SIM, any ideas what it could be?

I think its not fitting properly in the sim tray.
remove it and fit it properly in the tray or else I doubt you need to order another micro sim from Telcel.

yeah, i came here and asked first before doing some research and it seems that might be it :/ its a cuted sim and it seems the nexus 4 has some issues with does if they are not done properly.
I will go to telcel tomorrow, thanks.
I bought a microsim from telcel and it did not work, the phone does not recognize it, the phones from Google come sim unlocked right?

I just had to turn off then on again the phone for it to read the SIM, I did had to buy the new one but I also had to restart it xD, now everything is working fine.
Amigo! Do a duplicate in a Telcel store! Cut the sim sometimes it doesn't work!

Maybe it's locked to a certain carrier.

Try cleaning the contacts on her sim card and then jiggling the sim card around once inside the S4. It might take a few attempts and a few reboots but should work.

Cool link thanks for that I was looking for this just incase mine starts to act up. :good:
I have flashed 2 different images downloaded from Google and have even tried to install CleanRom. My issue is I get LTE data and can even receive messages, but absolutely no calls in or out. *#*#4636#*#* shows emergency calls only. This same sim works on my old phone still. My APN is exactly the same as my wife's Note 3 so that isn't the problem either. Can anybody help me figure out what is going on and how to fix it. Thanks
CDMA/LTE checked in the cellular network settings under preferred mobile type?

i thought the new nexus phones required a different sim? nano sim?
my buddy got the 5x on vzw he said he had to go to the store to get a certain type of sim card for it to work

You can cut your sim down to nano... They even sell sim cutters that punch out the different sizes.

I put my verizon nano sim card from my s6 and it just worked for me. Stock unrooted.
Yeah, I have CDMA/LTE checked and have a nano sim in.
With no solution in sight, i contacted Huawei customer service and am supposed to be getting an RMA label today. They said it will ship back for repairs and be gone 10-14 days.

Archaleus,
Did you get your phone back yet? Did it work out of the box?

Are you curious if Verizon works on the 6P? Because I am on Verizon and everything works as it should. Just pop in an active nano sim.
