Sim Card issues. Please help? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright so this problem arrives roughly a week ago. I was hoping it'd be gone by now, but nope. Worse than ever.
For reference. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. Unlocked LTE international version.
Roughly 2 months ago I rooted and flashed the Echoe a kitkat rom v18. I also have Philz recovery flashed....
My sim card keeps disconnecting while I'm not even using my phone. It doesn't even have to be moving. It just happens. I'll get a message from my phone saying that the sim card has disconnected and to restart to fix the problem..... This rarely works, as when I reboot, I get the error of no sim card.... its really started to get on my nerves. I doubt it's the sim card, as there's never been any problems with it. I will take it into my carrier today and have it swapped out for a new one.
I've seen this problem happen to other people on these threads,yet no answer has arrived. I've reset tp factory etc blah blah blah. I've even uninstalled the last 30 new apps I've installed, and the problem has yet to sort itself. I've tried taping the sim card, putting paper on the top and reinserting. Everything. It hasn't had any major drops for about 4 months so I doubt that is the issue. Only time it's dropped is when I drop it onto my bed....
Has anyone else had this problem? Have a fix? I can't stick it back under my warranty as I've flashed the recovery and rom... voids it does it not?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I suppose it could depend on modem vs wrong RIL, but unsure. I had such behavior on my old S2, but fixed it with proper modem/RIL combo. Have you checked your logs in data/logs? How many of anomalous logs you have there?
Tried popping in another Sim card, just to exclude yours?

This happened to me. I was using a cut up full size card, replacing it with a micro sim solved it. I replaced the sim tray anyway just in case it was that. It was 5 min job and the parts like a fiver
Sent from my GT-I9500

So I've replaced the microsim with another microsim (both were originally microsims). .. unresolved. Nothing has happened for the past couple of days until it happened yesterday... now nonstop again. I know it's not the sim because it happened even after I replaced it. It just had a couple of quiet moments. Now I suppose my next try is for replacing the sim tray myself. Fingers crossed. Also. No, I wouldn't know a clue on how to even get my logs. Haven't even thought of it. I'll do that when I next get the problem and am forced to reboot. Thank you.

Okay so I've found something possibly helpful. I've only just noticed that this usually happens when my battery hits 100%. I've removed all apps that tell me my battery info..... I hope that was the cause. I'll update tomorrow.

HELP! x10 keeps on rebooting/restarting with a sim card in!

Hello guys, I am having a problem with my unbranded x10i bought in UK (I am currently using it here in the philippines with a local sim card) . After I did an OTA two days ago, it just keeps on restarting/booting! I have tried the "repair" option twice in the PC Companion software but still no luck.
What's strange though is that when I tried switching the phone on WITHOUT a sim card in, it booted up with no problem (and I checked the build number, it says R2BA020 which probably means the OTA update was a success). I put the sim card back in and the problem came back, it kept on restarting.
What seems to be wrong? Any suggestions on fixing it? I would really appreciate your help guys. Thanks!
Update: I successfully rooted my phone hoping that rooting would solve my issue, but unfortunately it still keeps on rebooting/restarting whenever i put ANY sim card in.
Have you tried using another SIM-card?
yes. I have used different sim cards...
Try flashing back the original firmware.. and make sure the sim card is inside the x10 while doing it. Worth a try..
I have the same problem too and I have just updated my phone to R2BA024 and the firmware version is still 1.6. I have hard-reset so many times and reinstall some many times. The problem still there. I have contact Sony Ericsson customer service and bought my phone to fix. Got it back, problem hasnt been solved. I have waited for 3 weeks for a reply from them and end-up they said they do not have any new phone or spare-parts to fix my phone. Until then, I have contacted them almost 10 times and still no one has the right answer and just keep asking me to wait. They dun even have an exact date when the parts will arrive. I am very piss off now and I dunno what I should do next.
Its the same problem here with me too. Bought the phone from a friend about 3 days ago. was going all good when it just started to keep booting itself. While the sim is inside, it'll restart just as it finishes booting. Without the sim, its fine. I have tried other sim cards too, and format/reset my phone many times but it just isnt working for me anymore. HELPPPP!!!

Is it 32K sim or 64K???
hi techguru, can u tel me wot the diff is between the 32k and 64k sim ? many thanks
ISSUE SOLVED here.
BTW : my sim is 64k.
anyways, i found out that the problem was because of the faulty battery. what i guess is that the voltage couldnt get to the requirements of the phone, and everytime the sim radio (whatever its called) switched on, the phone just turned off.
I reinstalled/repaired my phone many times, GOT the exclamation mark of death one time also, but the phone just didnt turn on.
Later i noticed that the phone would just turn on itself when i attach the phone to the charger, otherwise it wouldnt turn ON. So what i did was just change the battery, and walla, the phone is ALIVE again.
Sim is working, phone is working.
BUT i see some signal losses from time to time, otherwise the phone is good enuff.
FOR me , the change of battery did the trick, I hope it works for u guyz aswell.
Cheers ...

hmmm. sounds interesting. I might try changing my battery. btw, i have tried using both 64 and 32K sim cards but the phone keeps restarting with any of the sim cards in. without both the sim cards, the phone works fine. how much does an x10 battery cost?
here, i get the cheap chinese battery. it isnt expensive, but its working great. almost better than my previous battery.
cost me around 2.5$.
but.. i am still getting lots of SIGNAL DROPS. i dont know why it is happeneing. I tried swapping the battery with the original battery of another X10, but no change. Signal loss is not a battery issue then.
Any idea what it could be ??
Signal loss?
Maybe a weak signal, or radio related?
or maybe its because i updates it to R026 is causing the signal loss issue ??
@techguru
I am also using airtel, but with a 64kb sim.
In my case it does not start.
It start if with no battery or with a 128kb sim of TIM.
I tried to recharge the firmware but nothing seemed to change.
I know that someone solved the problem swithcing off the phone in airplane mode, but this is not the case for me.
I also noticed that in some cases the led is green and is slowly blinking.
I am ready to change the battery if this helps, but I am not sure. Even if I put it under charge it does not switch on and the battery seems not to charge
As I bought the phone only since one day I wonder if they will change it.

Desire HD reboot problem

I was very happy yesterday when I picked up my brand new Desire HD. When I got home I immediately removed the plastic from the battery, inserted my sim card and plugged it in the charger while reading the manual.
After some tinkering around it suddenly rebooted. I thought it was just due to a setting I changed so didn't think much of it. However, it occurred another time later in the evening. This morning when I woke up, I didn't have any signal due to my DHD not recognizing my sim card any more. When I rebooted the phone, all was well. However when riding my train to work I felt the phone vibrate so I picked it up thinking I had a new text. Wrong: I was staring at the boot screen yet again.
When I got home this afternoon I did a factory reset using the phone's menu and hoped it would solve my problem. Unfortunately, when I opened the browser it rebooted again!
So, is my 2 day old DHD really dead-on-arrival or is there something else I could try? Unfortunately this was the last model left at the store where I got it from and they didn't know when another shipment would come in, so I might be stuck waiting for a while if I really do need to get it exchanged for a new one.
Mine is also doing this, also when I turned it off last night to charge it, it kept turning itself on. Any help much appreciated.

imo take it back if a laptop or anything else was doing this i would say there is a hardware fault bad chip sample or something its not normal you should have to live with it take it back asap
or wait if you want but personally you pay that much you want it to work just take it back
Maybe your SIM card is old and causing these reboots? DHD will automaticaly reboot when you unplug your SIM card without shutting it down first so maybe it's just loosing contact.
I've seen cases (various manufacturers) where SIM card would cause hangs, reboots and such. Replacement card from the operator in most cases fixed the issue.
My Nokia 6630 has that issue, it says the phone has to be reboot constantly due to a old scratched sim card, if i try with a new one it works perfectly :|
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676402
These reboot issues are a problem with the Desire, Nexus1, EVO4 and now it would appear the DesireHD. For the other phones the solution is to return to HTC for a mainboard replacement.
I really hope this isnt the case for the DesireHD.
As for it being my sim card: I doubt it as it works fine in my old phone (Nokia N900) and an old Motorola I still have. The sim card is barely 1 year old btw.

Yeah, I read about similar problems with the Desire and Nexus One but hoped the problems would have been solved in the DesireHD as I hadn't seen any messages of this problem occurring on the DHD before.
When I woke up about an hour ago, I again had to reboot my phone as it didn't see my sim card anymore. I'll go back to the store in about an hour to get a new one if they have it, and let you know when I get back...
This is just a wild guess, but may you should try to take out the sim card and place it back again. There could be a loose contact, dirt on the sim or some something else that might be causing a problem the phone does not see the sim correctly.

I thought of that last night so I took out the sim card as well as the battery and placed them back again. This morning, the DHD again failed to recognize my sim card so that problem wasn't solved.
The reboots seem to be rather random though, it's not just when I use my phone very heavily.
the issue with the sim card isnt the mainboatd issue, its can be sim or one of the back covers, wird.
Well, I went to the shop this morning to replace my DHD for a new one. The shop I got it from didn't have any in stock anymore, so I had the choice to wait until next week, or go to another shop and have it exchanged there. So I went there, and they replaced my (I think) faulty unit for a new one
So far, it's working like a dream What I noticed that with my previous DHD the charger would buzz very slightly when charging, this doesn't happen with my new unit and the same charger.
I'll keep you updated whether or not my new unit is indeed problem free.
I bought my Desire HD from the T-Mobile shop yesterday. Nice phone, but mine is rebooting every 5 minutes more or less. It seems to reboot soon after the 3g becomes active, but that may be just a coincidence. It also reboots immediatly upon plugging in the USB cable. Very annoying!. I thought I would try resetting to factory default, but that also did not help. I am going to swap it tomorrow, and hope I have better luck with that one.

Same issue here, got mine from three UK yesterday.
Brand new SIM Card with the phone as well.
It was fine most of last night, rebooted once then after setup, like another post didnt think that much of it.
Then this morning it went in to a boot loop, rebooted about 5times in a row and the only thing to correct was a battery pull.
Lets hope its a software issue and not hardware related!
I haven't been able to test my new unit properly just yet. I ordered a new SIM card through T-MOBILE but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm now using my DHD without a SIM card and it has been working fine for the past 24 hours. So I think my SIM card is indeed the problem, as both units rebooted several times with the SIM card inserted but work fine without one.
When i picked up my sgs. It used to have same problem. Everytime i open a browser it reboots. But after i changed the rom it went perfect
Factory reset wont work. Try fresh install from the recovery menu. I think it will fix ur problem.
Most of the time this issue is software related.

Replaced my DHD at T-Mobile
Hi all,
So i was experiencing the reboot problem on my new phone. In fact mine was rebooting every 5 to 10 minutes since i took it out of the box. I phoned HTC to see if there was something I was doing wrong. They told me it's probably mainboard fault and I should return it.
Today I brought it back to the t-mobile shop and they exchanged it for a new one no questions asked. I demonstrated to the sales guy how it reboots for no reason, just to prove I wasn't crazy, but he didn't even ask for proof. The new one seems to be working flawlessly so far.
Here in Netherlands, you have 8 business days to return your device if something is wrong, and they will exchange it. If you wait too long, you would have to send it for repair under warranty. If you are having issues such as this, I would definitely swap it out a.s.a.p because when you buy an expensive phone like this, its meant to WORK!
I noticed something else perhaps worth mentioning. When the first phone package was opened, the plastic piece protecting the battery was not there, and the Micro SD was in the box, but not in the phone. The plastic cover was on the phone however, so I didn't think anything of these things because i don't know how the phones are packed. When I got the replacement phone, I tried to start it and it wouldnt start. Only then did I realize the replacement phone had a plastic protector around the battery which I first had to remove, and the micro sd was already in the phone. When i put my sim in the replacement phone, the fit was tighter as well. This all seems rather dubious to me. Perhaps someone had a play around with the first one before selling it? Maybe it was refurbished? In any case MAKE SURE you inspect the phone before leaving the shop, and make sure your phone hasn't been played with.
good luck everyone!

Horrible reboot
Hi all,
I have been experiencing different reboots due to different reasons. Main reason is the fact of applying too much pressure on the back cover. That will always result in a reboot (I suspect it has to do with the two contacts under the cover).
Another reason for rebooting, as I have experiencing, is unplugging the charger while using the telephone.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are more reasons that cause the rebooting of the unit.
The worse part in my case is the fact that I lost the receipt, thus I believe I won't be able to take it back to have it fixed. Am I wrong?
I've been experiencing the same issues, but mine also turns itself on. I tried factory reset, didn't solve. So I am getting it exchanged as soon as its back in stock with Vodafone.

I am having exactly the same problem with my DHD. It's randomly rebooting 1 or 2 times a day. And when it's rebooted there is no signal and sometimes it doesn't even recognize my simcard at all. Manually rebooting the device then solves the problem for a while, untill it reboots automaticly again....
I have a dual simcard so today I will swap it, but I don't think that is going to work.
I don't have the DHD yet...
But i saw in a youtube movie that the batterycover had 2 contacts.
The guy in de video told that when you take the batterycover off when the phone is on it will shut down.
Maybe your battterycover is not set the good way.

[Q] SIM Card issues with CM7 on HTC Inspire 4G

So for a while now (probably 3-4 months) I've been having SIM card issues and I don't remember if they started before or after my phone was rooted and running CM...Anyway, a little SIM card thing shows up in my status bar and it says like "SIM card not recognized" or "Please insert a SIM Card" or something along those lines. It doesn't let me use the network at all. Usually I fix it by turning the phone off, taking the SIM Card out, putting it back in, and turning the phone back on. Sometimes it'll work, other times, I'll have to repeat it. I thought the problem was the SIM Card because it had 3 scratches on it from the contact points, so I got a new SIM Card yesterday but it's still doing the same thing. When it started I was either on the stock ROM (unrooted), CoreDroid, or CM7 (stable). About a month ago I started using the CM7 nightlies.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Could it be the phone itself?

SM-N910F "No Sim Inserted" Issues

As the title suggests, my phone is coming up with "No SIM Inserted" warnings, and forces me to restart two or three times to get the problem to go away. This happens pretty much daily, at the minimum.
Restarting takes an annoying amount of battery and time, so it's a bit of a pain. The SIM eventually works, but it's not a good sign.
Since the card eventually works, I'd imagine that this is some sort of Firmware issue? My internet is horrible, so downloading it from sammobile would take forever. So I thought that I'd come get your guys opinion on it first on whether it's a hardware issue, or a software issue.. I've noticed a lot of other phones (such as the S4) having this issue, and I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience on fixing it?
It's unrooted so it's still under warranty.
Cheers,

First thing I would try is clean the sim card then factory reset with the sim inserted. I had to do this with mine (once) but thought it was just a glitch so never posted about it. After that I'd try another sim to test the handset or replace the sim card if it was the same.
Had this problem in one of my older phones, can't remember which.
At some point your SIM will stop working altogether and reboots just won't fix it anymore.
I contacted my provider and asked for a new SIM and that solved my problem.
I think it's worth getting a new SIM, or at least trying with a different one.

I'm not sure how I'd clean it, exactly. So I just sorta blew on it, and the tray. If it happens again I'll probably just get a new SIMcard.

The SIM is barely a year old, so it's a bit of a pain if I'll have to get a new one. However, it'd cost me nothing to get a new one, anyway.
Thanks a lot for your input. It only started happening about a week or two ago, so it probably is the SIM.

When I had that issue, it was with a few days old SIM, sometimes they're just defective. I know what you mean about the hassle though.

Inserting any SD card causes bootloop....

I've done some searching but not come up with any definitive answers....
Lately my phone(SM-G930V) has taken to bootlooping and heating up at random times...
This morning (4-4-18) it took a security update (G930VVRU4BRC2) and became completely unstable...
I tried everything...finally resorting to a full factory wipe and reset.
Still looping.
The SD card has been in it since day one (Feb 2016) it is a Sandisk 32gB...
On a whim I removed the SD card and the phone returned to normal.
I experimented with (4) other SD cards of varying brand and capacity and every single one threw the phone into a constant loop.
Obviously something bad has happened inside the phone with regards to the SD slot or how it reads it...
Just wondering if this is a known issue and if there might be any resolution ?
Thanks, Dan
I had a similar issue yesterday. To be honest I fixed it by flashing the att fw onto my verizon phone for oreo and then using adb to upgrade my phone to oreo. Now my phone is super stable and hauls ass. Jesus I love oreo.
I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/help/android-oreo8-0-verizon-s7-t3750452 when you go the guide page, do the method without the SD card.
BE WARNED it takes a LONNNNNGGGGGGGGG time to update. Took me probably 1-2 hours.
Im using a verizon phone with an att sim card so I didn't have any issues with the setup wizard. I heard some people on verizon having issues though, they fixed it by removing their sim card during the wizard after they pushed start.
Only thing I did different was used regular odin. You can try either though.
My phone is running superb now.
Scary thing is...this morning...it started looping again...
No SD card inserted at all...
I removed the tray and cleaned the SIM card with a pencil eraser (made the contacts nice and shiny) and it hasn't looped in almost an hour.
I'll look into reinstalling the firmware and upgrading to Oreo...
Been waiting for the update to come through normally...but hey...what ever it takes..
Dan
Worked for me man. Give it a shot. Like I said, Oreo is running flawlessly on my phone too. The phone is so snappy now.

I don't want to alarm you, but first off, how old is the phone? Was it brand new when you got it or is it a used or refurbished phone? The reason I ask is because my previous phone I had, an LG G3, lasted 2 years. Right after my contract ended (non-payment plan at the time), it started exhibiting issues stating that the SD card has been ejected and then minutes later, the SD has been inserted. This would happen with any SD card. I eventually had to use the phone without the SD card and I flashed back to various previous images, custom ROMs, etc. No matter what I did, eventually the SD card would eject itself for some reason and then reinsert it self (it wasn't really ejecting but the phone thought I had removed it).
Turns out, it was a hardware failure in the phone. Eventually, one evening I was using it and the entire screen went black. Hooking it up to my PC resulted in nothing. It was dead. So, I don't want to alarm you, but this could be the precursor to a hardware failure going on in your phone depending on how old it is, etc. Hence my questions as to how old it was, and whether it was used or refurbished.
Might be time for a new phone. If it's fairly new and under warranty, you might want to swap it out (which usually results in getting a refurbished unfortunately), but you never know. You could always take into a repair shop and have them run some diagnostics on it as well.
Hopefully it's just something wonky with your software and a reimage fixes the issue. I've had mine for almost 1.5 years and so far, it's been running great. I've never rooted it or anything because for me, it does all that I need and performs well. First phone I've had (other than my G3) where I haven't had to root it or flash a custom ROM. For me, it works great, but I know that's not the case for everyone.

Might be time for a new phone. If it's fairly new and under warranty, you might want to swap it out (which usually results in getting a refurbished unfortunately), but you never know. You could always take into a repair shop and have them run some diagnostics on it as well.
Hopefully it's just something wonky with your software and a reimage fixes the issue. I've had mine for almost 1.5 years and so far, it's been running great. I've never rooted it or anything because for me, it does all that I need and performs well. First phone I've had (other than my G3) where I haven't had to root it or flash a custom ROM. For me, it works great, but I know that's not the case for everyone.

That's actually *very* funny.....
Phone was brand new out of the box 2 years ago....oh wait ?.....exactly 2 years ago...how do I know that ?...because the payment just came off my monthly bill.....
I was saying to the wife...."great...as soon as the phone is paid off it takes a sh&t".....
A coincidence ?...
I've been girding my loins figuring I need to run up to the Verizon store and get myself a new S9....ugh...
