My phone was telling me that I didn't have a sim card inserted. I rebooted the phone and everything was fine. A few minutes later it happened again. I pulled the sim and reinserted it. It is working now but I don't know for how long. Anyone else have this issue?

Try cleaning the contacts maybe... It may or may not help. Regardless, you can get a new SIM card through Verizon. Just walk into a store and explain what's going on. And they can swap it for you right there.
♢NoteIII♢
Had the same exact thing happen to me a week ago...it was when I was trying multiple times to get isis working. After taking out the SIM and reseating it, everything has been fine since.
So far I have not had a problem since I reseated the sim card. Hope it was just a fluke.

Hey guys, new atrix owner and I'm loving it! However I'm having an issue where my sd card is not being recognized. I've searched the forums with mixed results. I think I'm having the issue with the connectors not touching properly but I dont know how to fix it
I've tried several sd cards and also formatting it using a computer.
The option to mount sd card and format it on the atrix is grayed out.its not recognizing it as all.
Any help would be appreciated
you sure it pushed all the way in?
Yes its all the way in! And the right way up. I'm trying to use gingerbreak but it needs an sd card mounted for it to work

If it's brand new with this problem on multiple sd cards I would exchange it just to be sure it isn't a persistent problem in the future

That will be my last resort as im in australia and will have to send it overseas
Someone said you have to tighten something in the sd card tray but not sure what or how

Had same issue with my sdcard. Took it out while phone was turned on and put it back in, phone still on. Phone mounted it right away and I've had no issues since.

Already tried that with no luck. Is there a way to root running 1.8.3 without the need of an sd card?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Fixed the issue. Anyone ever experiences the same thing heres what I did
Take the sd card out
Where you slot the card in push that little piece of metal down a little bit
What's happening is that theres too much room between the sd card and the piece of metal so it doesn't contact properly.
I used a small screw driver and now the atrix is rooted and all is well

What they said, I had to do the exact same thing to get my SD card working.
Basically when I restart my phone, I get a pop up that says my Sd card is damaged but when I go to settings and mount it, it works fine until I do another reboot. The one annoying thing that happens is it wipes anything that was saved from my phone like DCIM picture and music etc but everything else is still there(that I saved from my pc).
Any idea what's causing it?

What phone and which vendors SD card?
Didn't I see that Sandisk has a bad batch recently of 32 GB cards?
Also have you tried reformatting?

It's a HC 64gb card running on SGS4 phone. I've tried reformatting off my pc and phone but to no avail. It worked fine on my Note 2

Do you have another card to try? Since its a new device and it worked on your old phone you need to rule out the phone as the issue.

I guess it's one of those annoying things. I'll get a new Sd card, might be the easiest solution

I just got my ATT N3 today, and after a few hours, I noticed the screen wouldn't turn on. So then I rebooted and noticed that it says "custom" with the unlocked padlock symbol!
How on earth is that possible? I suspect something fishy from my micro SD card. During that time it started to not recognize my card.
Anyone else having this problem?

Had no need for it???? If your on Verizon the phone is NOT going to work without it... If you bought it to use the Sim card slot then why not just buy an actual gsm version

i used a knife as well lol, needed the number off it to get the new sim activated on it.
I used tweezers to remove it from the phone
Yeah you def need that card if you're on Verizon. I was having problems because I took my sim out of my note 2 and put it in my 3 and it wasn't working until 30 mins later I figured it out. As soon as you pick up or purchase the phone it auto stops your last sim.

Mine came with a sim removal tool or some such.
Yes, mine came with a SIM preinstalled. This phone is an absolute pain to remove the SIM from.
I used a small flathead screwdriver to remove it.
Tweezers.

I just used the point of a knife to gently push down on the card and slid it out.
Guys can anyone confirm if the phone is unlocked?
I'm traveling soon to the caribbean and need it unlocked and UMTS 900 to use 3g.

I ordered mine from a local store and they needed your account to pre order. So as soon as they scanned it as picked up it was activated because I had no signal on my note 2. That's how I figured out was preactivated from the store

You guys realize there's a SIM card removal tool in the box, right?
Granted, I couldn't figure out how to use the damned thing for a while. Ended up figuring it out though and using my old SIM.

That is not correct. I'm using the same SIM in my Note 3 that I used in my S4, Note 2, and GNex. The beauty of SIM swapping is awesome for phone addicts.

Made sure my finger was dry then kept sliding my finger across the card really fast to create friction then it slid right out.

My s5 is a completely stock UK model on Tesco/O2. It's had a couple of system updates.
I last did one a couple of days ago and now the phone won't recognise the sd card. It initially flashed the message "sd card unexpectedly removed" (or similar).
I've tried restarting, removing sd, restarting then putting card in. All to no avail.
The card works fine in my son's s4.
Any ideas please?

Have you backed up and reformatted card?
I'm having another problem, in that I can't get music to my SD card!
Have you got music on your external SD card?
No music. Got a few films and work pdfs.
I'm wondering if anybody else has any problems after recent updates

Just remembered something. When I tried to move a couple of movies to the sd using ESFILEEXPLOR it wouldn't let me. I managed to move them with the stock file explorer though.
I was reading another thread about compatible sd cards and it seems there are a few people with issues, mainly caused after transferring music to the card as opposed to leaving it in the system memory

I heard there were a few problems with this stock update and I was trying to avoid it because my phone was fine, no problems with really anything. It updated when I connected to WiFi... oops. Now it won't read my SD card and pretty much every time I unlock my phone, it tells me to check my back cover because it thinks it's not all the way attached. Realllyyyy annoying and I have no idea how to fix this.
Edit; I'm on an att s5
The warnings wont go away unfortunatly but had no sd card issue....if anything after update my screen was unresponsive till i pulled the battery
