Can any one tell me why my TAB will not recogize my valid, working SIM card from my other phone? Perhaps some setting on the TAB has to be changed?
Thanks for any info.
dude
dude i dont know. i tried the same thing. i have tmobile usa and the Galaxy Tab, along with my HTC HD2. tried the swap, no dice. saw my phone number, but would not txt, call, or receive calls. no data either.
My TAB doesn't even recognize when that the SIM is plugged in .
It keeps saying: "Please insert a SIM card". "Emergecy Calls Only".
This is going to sound really dumb but try shoving the SIM card in further. With certain brands of SIM you can get a "click" without the SIM being correctly seated in the tab. The tab will reboot if you insert a sim properly while it is on.
Problem solved! I thought that it was unlocked, but it wasn't. Followed Rothammer advise on unlocking and that worked like a charm.

I have the same problem with my SIM not being recognized. I have an AT&T Tab; unlocked [verified network is unlocked]; flashed with Rotohammer's most recent JME-Full; Baseband is I9000UGJK3; IMEI is OK; and Mobile Network is HSDPA. Interestingly, the signal strenth shows full bars, but does not recognize SIM and does not allow me to enter the Mobile Networks [grayed out] to change anything. I've tried every fix from every thread I can read here. Any thoughts anyone to get this to use voice and data?
Flash the Bell i900 modem for at&t tabs.
Following an Odin upgrade on my i9505 to the official 4.4.2 release my S4 was working fine but, when I rebooted later, mobile data was disabled and when I tried to enable it a message appeared saying “Insert SIM card to access network services”. I rebooted several times and finally I was able to access mobile data without the message appearing.
My SIM card is locked with a PIN and I noticed during the multiple reboots that when the phone first boots up to the SIM unlock screen up it was showing a phone signal, and when I entered the PIN the phone signal disappeared briefly and then came back. I figured this might be the point that 4G is lost, so after I managed to get mobile data working again after a reboot I was able to disable the SIM lock (when I lost mobile data the SIM lock option in security settings was greyed out). Since I've disabled the SIM lock I've booted multiple times without issue. When I re-enabled the SIM lock the problem came back straight away.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be, and how I can re-enable my SIM lock without losing 3/4G connectivity after most boots.
TIA
samsung s4 9505
samsung s4 i9505
my 3g is not working
no issues with wifi
what could be the problem
2g is working fine(GSM Only)
i am on kot49h rom
I'm having the same problem! I've disabled SIM Card Lock, will let you know how I get on.
Same here
unbranded i9505 using on EE 4GEE
updated and soon after lost mobile data - tried reset & new sim card - nothing. EE are now fully blaming the update and pointing Samsung and HTC customer to manufacturers.
After changing sim it seemed to be ok for a while but now comes and goes. What i have noticed is that my phone will be fine until a restart/power down and sometimes flight mode will fix. Original sim was normal micro sim new is NFC micro sim just for info
this is such BS and samsung are dragging the heels with a fix.
Hmm. I'm with EE 4G as well. I have found that with the SIM security PIN disabled it's more or less OK the majority of the time.
Sorry forgot to mention this was a OTA update
Also noticed that phone will not connect to kies correctly and show phone number as all zero when is connected
can anyone else confirm that?

Problem is, it requires Verizon SIM. AFAIK TMobile is not as strict as Verizon..

Te hone seems to be unlocked. Check your APN settings to see if they have ben set correctly. There are tons of tutorials available.
Make sure you have the correct apn

All of Verizon's lte phones are SIM unlocked.

Then perhaps if what you say is true, the OP got a bad device? Or the previous owner(if phone is not new) didn't properly remove their account from the phone and it will not reactivate. I'm at a loss then.
Perhaps the Verizon S5 doesn't support the bands for his carrier.

I would think it would still allow for GSM communications even though it's an unrecognized SIM.

He said he gets talk and text but no data. Its either the apn or compatability with the radios for data. My wife has the Verizon S5. She gets the unrecognized sim notification also but she has all the features working with a Tmobile sim, including 4gLTE data. I did go ahead and removed the setup wizard apk to permanently remove the notification.

You didn't do much of a search or you would have found other threads where this has been asked and answered.
The message comes from a Verizon setup app that makea no allowamce for the possibility that anyone would use a foreign SIM in a Verizon phone. Freeze or remove the app to supress the message.

I would run the Region unlock from the Market to get rid of that error message, I'm not 100% if it will make the I ternet work since I just tried an active at&t Simcard last night and it was the same case as your but without the error message you got
The same problem with my Kyocera Brigadier. Click.

With any SIM you put in that's not from Verizon, you will get this message, even if you do a region unlock. As others have stated it has to do with the Setup Wizard. The easiest fix is to freeze the Setup Wizard with Titanium Backup. It doesn't affect the phone's functionality at all. I wouldn't deleted it though. I've frozen mine and I can use any SIM without getting the annoying message.
This is a deterent that Verizon puts on their phones in hopes they won't be used on other carriers. They're factory unlocked.
I've noticed recently that the "add apn" button is gone in Mobile Networks on 4.4.4. You need to go to Network Operators and run a search. Hopefully the APN's will auto configure. If not, check to see if the "add apn" button is enabled. If it's not, you'll need to root the phone, buy APN Manager Pro, and install it as a system app. Then you can enter your APN settings.

What it is and how to remove it?
Help
I had same issue that my samsung galaxy S3 was showing sim is from unknown source and was not detecting sim then i gone to mobile networks and changed network mode to global and then created access point for my local network ( just visit website of network you are using there you will find Apn setting for android for that network ) and after creating Apn just tick that apn and network internet will also start to work
This sim card is from an unknown source
Ok I had the same problem but I got the majority of it solved. With a few simple phone calls. OK if you already have service with the ability to make calls and text. But can't get any Internet service. All you have to do is call the metropcs provider or go to a store. And ask for the APN code. I chose to call first but every person that answered the phone had a real bad foreign accent. So I went to a store and they did everything for me. No questions asked I even kept my same sim card. Now if you can't make calls or text they will have to take the imei number from that phone and simply add it to there system with sim card. And your good to go. All you have to do is make one call.
Is there a way to in Sm-g935fd running LineageOS 14.1 to completely disable a Sim card like in the original Samsung firmware. I run 2 sims and want to switch between data after I use up the data for one of the Sims. When I try using Sim card 2 for data it will not connect or will not connect with a data connection and keeps trying to use Sim 1 even with the data turned off. I don't think it matters for this but I'm using FreedomPop which uses at&t.
I've got a very weird issue with my Galaxy S8 (SM-G950FD)
After working fine for about 1.5 years on the network it suddenly wasn't able to make and receive calls anymore on the Lebara (Vodafone) network in Australia.
The issue spontaneously disappeared a few hours after it first surfaced but reappeared and has not gone away since.
Internet and Txt/MMS are working normally. But when someone calls me it goes straight to voicemail and when I call nothing happens for a minute or so and then it "disconnects" but no tone
When I go into the phone app and try to retrieve settings like caller ID and/or forwarding it gives the following error:
Failed to read data
Something went wrong. Check your
Sim Card or network connection,
then try again
When I insert the sim into an S7 it's working. When I insert the sim from the S7 into the S8 (Optus network) the S8 works as well.
I've performed a factory reset (without restoring the settings)
I've gotten a new sim and Lebara has ported the number to it but that didn't help
Being a dual sim I've tried using the shared sd/sim slot but same issue.. data/mms/txt working no voice.
I've tried copying the apn settings the S7 displays with the Lebara sim to the S8 but that didn't help either.
I've now used Odin to flash the phone back to the Oreo version with the December 2018 security update and that didn't help either.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
I've managed to narrow down the issue a bit.
Also went out to purchase a Vodafone Pre-paid sim. That one didn't work either at first but after some troubleshooting with support of Vodafone we've found out that the S8 doesn't connect to the 3G network of Vodafone Australia.
When I have the SIM of another provider in there and limited the network mode to 2G/3G autoconnect the phone just finds the 2 other networks on 3G (AFAIK 2G has been phased out).
I've tried to get into the advanced service mode but this doesn't seem to be possible anymore.
Is there a way to try to see which bands are active on the S8 and better yet enable them all?
