Sim Card gets "removed" - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since updating to Android lollipop 5.0 then to 5.0.2, I always get a message saying that Sim Card got removed even though I didn't so there is no 3G connection and also there is no signal.

first of all there is not a stock 5.0.2 for nexus 4.
so assuming you are on a custom rom that is probably your problem. either change rom or go to your rom thread and ask there for help

I am on on stock 5.0.1. I wrote 5.0.2 by mistake

test another sim. if it is rejected i cannot help you. if not it might be something wrong with your sim.

What if the problem is in the software? Since I didn't face this type of issue when my phone was on KitKat

go back to kit kat and see if the problem exist. you need to try things to see what is the problem. also you could try to reinstall lollipop

This happened to me last week, no sim card showing even after several reboots and even a backup of another rom installed. Nothing helped until I was able to remove the sim card (not always something lying around I can use to eject it). I pulled it out, checked it, blew on it and reinstalled it and rebooted and all was fine for another week. That was on 5.0.2 xenonHD rom.
The other day I flashed 5.1 factory image. Today the same thing happened. Removing the sim card fixed it for ten minutes this time.
I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem.

[Q] Int. Note3 wont recognize pin after official OTA

Hello guys,
I have encountered i problem after i updated my international note 3 officially.It said there is a new update for my device so i downloaded and updated it then it wouldnt recognize my pin.I took the sim card out then it said there is another OTA available.I downloaded and updated again in hope for a fix but it didnt recognize this time either.I blocked it and tried the PUK1 and PUK2 codes neither them both worked.Im using it now without my sim card.Its not rooted btw.
Thank you have a good day!
Only thing I can think off is boot to recovery and factory reset, see if it fixes it.
If not then you'd probably need to flash stock via ODIN.
However you need to note that reactivation lock must be off -- do you remember/know if it is off or on?

Its off sir under the Security settings.
You can re flash your stock rom via ODIN, have a read around and make sure you are 100% confident in doing so, then when your phone boots back up, you should be able to enter your puk code to unlock your sim.
I cannot stress enough the importance of reading as much as your brain can take in so that you are absolutely confident in what re flashing etc entails.
Good luck and keep the thread posted on your progress

For me all works. For the S-View Cover if you got problems theres a XPOSED MODULE that fixes.
If you want to flash to kitkat flash to the latest one - https://mega.co.nz/#!9ExjAR5a!JlqiFGnMqN1iYQylM7-3bhvupKtkZ9fnLLwLwTC8rD0 (thanks @ValenteL )
What about battery state?

Best is poland, from what I have read and some ppl said.
But I couldn't find latest poland nb4 as what most ppl said.
So I flashed the nb7 germany but it requires pit file to be flashed together.
Or perhaps u could try nb7 uk.
My sview cover is working just fine with nb7 germany. No issue. And fyi, I m not using any original scover ciz too ex for me.
Sd card problem I found so far only on dolphin apps, where by it detects as "external sd" only, instead of "storage/external sd". Therefore if u want to download something, it will still be only able to save to internal sd.
Btw, battery much more better than 4.3.
I m quite satisfy with it, based on my same usage.
And it really did stay very well in deep sleep.
I discharged, and nver use it for 4 hours, it dropped to 98% only. Something I never see before.
Sent from N9005 4.4.2 NB7 rooted device
NB7 Germany contains the fix for the 3rd party accessories. (It is the second 4.4.2 update for DBT).
Keep in mind that 4.3 has a very, very annoying issue with Android leeching battery. I never had issues before updating to 4.4.2. Factory reset helped a bit, but not much. Ever so often Media Server prevents deep sleep.
The SD Card doesn't have problems, the lazy app developers have a problem. Google updated security policies (remember how people are always whining about security? This is the result. Blame them.) and now the devs have to alter one tiny permission in their apps and it works. But a lot of them can't be bothered.
If you are happy on 4.3, don't update.
I think to stay on 4.3 and wait for another update
Mybe 4.4.3 ?

You either update to 4.4.2, or don't update.
4.4.3 would be too long away. Once Google releases 4.4.3, it would take months for Samsung to update, if they feel like it.
Really I'm worry If I update my phone to 4.4.2
Be sorrowful for leaving 4.3 ?

Unlocked AT&T Galaxy S4 not working properly

My fried bought a Galaxy S4 from AT&T when he was in US. While leaving the country he bought an unlock code from AT&T and unlocked the phone using the same in India. His phone was working fine initially. Then sudden signal loss started to occur and need to restart the phone to get the signal back. Tried using different Indian carriers and the same issue continued. Will I be able to solve this issue by flashing a custom rom into his phone? Do I need to take care of anything else, like the modem firmware or something. Attaching a screen shot of his phone details. Please help guys..

You could try reflashing the same MDL firmware first. If that doesn't work, then install TWRP and try the different flashable modems.

Thank you for the reply.. However we have already tried a factory reset.. Will it be a problem if I flash the modem firmware available in the Indian Galaxy S4?? The Indian version comes with an exynos octa processor instead of the Qualcomm one..

Doing a factory reset is different from reflashing the firmware. I don't think the other modems would work, but I'm not entirely sure. If they're recovery zips you could try, but if they're ODIN files it definitely won't work.

I have tried reflashing the phone with Odin. The device now has the latest Android 4.4.2 firmware from AT&T. It seemed to work fine after flashing. We got the network and were able to make calls as well. However after sometime the signal got cutoff itself. Tried flashing again, the same thing happens. Any other suggestions??

4.4.4 OTA update won't install

Hi there.
I have a nexus 4,temporarily rooted it with busybox installed and then fully unrooted it using SuperSU. When it was unrooted then I received the OTA and when I tried installing it I received an error during installation. I tried again and yet it failed. Any idea? I'm on stock 4.4.3 rooted now, with stock recovery.

You must still have some system files that are modified. The exact failure message would help. You could also use this

Yes, you must return your /system partition to stock 4.4.3 before the device can take the 4.4.4 ota.

It just says error. That's it.

There must be something else modified, and if there isn't, be on the safe side and flash stock /system anyway. If that still fails, then there is clearly something else wrong.

I think there's something else wrong. There's quite a few, including myself that are receiving the same error with the OTA and have never rooted or even unlocked the boot loader. I'm on a Nexus 5 completely stock. I received the 4.4.3 OTA with no issues at all last week, but now after 4 separate attempts at 4.4.4, all 4 times failed. I even did a full system restore and immediately received the system update notification, only to have that one fail too. So whatever is going on has nothing to do with modifying the system because I haven't missed with anything. Unless we have completely different issues. But it doesn't seem like it?

Mobile network cancles constantly after Lollipop update

Hi,
Since I installed the lollipop update from Samsung on my Note3 my mobile network cancels constantly. In most cases, after I made a call. It only reconnects after a restart. Then for several minutes, even though I'm supposed to be on the net, I can not make calls. The update was installed via Odin. Is there a solution to this problem ??
Best wishes and thank you in advance.

Have you tried a factory reset? That's usually the first step to take when you encounter issues after an update.

No, does not help. I also tried to flash a few roms, but that didn't solve the problem. Mostly the connection gets lost, after a phone call.
Maybe the reason is, that I have flashed the leaked HongKong Lollipop rom via. Odin?
The Problem is, that I get a Error, if I try to flash the new german one. x.x

Problem is still there.
I also tried to flash the Vodafone Version of Lollipop via. Odin, but because I didn't back up'ed my PIT-File, I had to use one out of this forum.
