Hi everyone,
Yesterday my phone stoped to recognise the sim-card.
At first i got a message with sim-card problem and the phone need to be restarted.
After that sim worked a day and now i cant use any sim in this phone. I tried it with 4 cards.
I've tried new roms , and paper on sim-card reader. Still "no sim card"!
Is it possible to repair it or is it Motherboard problem?
Thanks.
Have it checked in a authorised Samsung Service Centre mate. I had that problem twice in one day few days back, but since then its running fine! I was really scared, thought I would have to visit SC, but it went away on its own! I don't think Motherboard needs to be changed, only the SIM slot if its damaged.

Thanks for your answer. My phone doesn't recognise any card now. Since 2 days. I don't think it can go away on its own
Got the same problem. Probably your sim card slot got some loose like mine. I put a little piece of paper into it on the back of sim card. It caused that my sim card was inserted tighter into slot and it is working again.
It occured that it was the sim card problem. I had it again but it was strange because it worked on my sony xperia sp. But my note 4 didnt see it. I checked other sim card and it work flawless

I'm not sure if this is a common issue or just an issue with my sim card.
Looks like the sim card just stopped working this morning. I can't make/receive any calls or texts and the lock screen says "Please insert SIM card and restart".
I've restarted about 3 times now and have tried removing and reinserting the sim card, with no luck.
I figure I'll need to take it into a T-Mobile shop to get a new sim card, but my Vibrant has been rooted and has a the Obsidian Froyo rom installed.
Should I just plug the SIM into my old blackberry and take it in that way for replacement?
Or is this some known issue that can be easily fixed?

I have had this happen to me twice. Once, the SIM went bad (it happens).
I called TMO told them that it's not working & they said they'd get me a new SIM. I had the option of going to an authorized TMO store or getting it mailed to me. I went to a store, they installed & it off I went.
The other time, I took some rubbing alcohol and a QTip to it & cleaned it up, let it dry, put it back in & it's been working for a little over a week now
So, I'd try giving it a cleaning first and if that doesn't work, give TMO a call.
If they don't know that you have the Vibrant and think you still have a BB, then yeah, I'd put it back in that rather than bringing in the Vibrant if you have to go to the store. It's just easier when the person helping you isn't trying to force you to change your plan at the same time.
Question: The phone won't let you do anything without a SIM card? If that's true, that's just another reason to be glad I SIM unlocked my phone....that would get annoying!
Old Tmobile sim cards actually have a certain amount of times they can connect to the network tower. If you use airplane mode a lot it you may reach this point quickly.
And some sims cards just go bad. Which I think is the case with yours tjhart85. Take the phone and card to Tmobile. Tmobile will change the sim card for free.
Yup, turned out the sim card just went bad. Called up T-Mobile customer service, they put a not on my acount, and went into my local T-Mobile store and got a new sim card. Phones working great now. They didn't even ask for the old one and didn't have to look at my phone.
Thanks guys!
Hi dear,
I just bought my Omnia 7 last Wed(actually, made a payment 2 weeks ago but just arrived) and I'm so pleased to use it as I used to use Samsung Focus(but it has problem on a sim slot).
However, there was one problem in my device since the first day. It's actually my fault and the device is working really well, but my sim(I used to use iPhone so my sim is micro size) is stuck in the sim slot.
I thought the sim slot was same as the one in Focus but it wasn't. Thus, I even can't see where it is in the Sim slot but fortunately, it's working well.
Anyone has the same problem as me??
Or anyone can help me out?
i think it is easily sorted but you have to open up the device.
follow the instructions in this thread

I had to break off metal housing! to get to the contacts to try bend them back up, I managed to get it working again but I was shi....g myself got a new standard size sim and it's ok.
Really guys don't go for the adapter you will be sorry!
Hello,
I have one issue with my X10: It was not starting, after removing the battery and waiting some time it started again but than at a moment was dead again. I went to the service center, they checked it and when I got it back it was working. After inserting SIM card and SD card (I gave it to the service without SD card) it died again. Went back to the service, they said is OK, got it back and it's still dead when inserting the SIM card. I am wondering if in the service they tested it with SIM card. I am already fed-up with this issue, I had the phone away in service for 2 weeks now. Ho can I convince them that my phone is dead and they need to replace it (it is still under warranty)? I tried even at home to re install the software with SEUS/Emma and stil the same, it doesn't start with SIM card in it.
Any suggestions welcome...

Have you tried starting it without SD card?
If it still fails to boot you should try another sim. If you don't have one go to the shop of your service provider and ask if they want to test your phone there. With and without sim.
Sent from my SO-01C using XDA App
Tried all options. What is strange is that after a while (few hours) phone without SIM and SD card starts. I am checking with another SIM maybe the problem is because of the SIM.

I had a issue where my SD got lightly scratched leaving it damaged.
My x10 would not start i replaced it with a newer one and bam problem solved.
Recommendations can insert the sim card to see another family, SD card can take a look at other tests to see
If you still can not read, recommended direct repair, as is still under warranty
I have met a SIM card chip can not read too ~ ~
My wife ATT S4 started to get the message that SIM card was not detected and the phone rebooted automatically after, after dealing with this for a while we took it to the store and nad the SIM card replaced, It work ok for a couple of days and started with the same issue again, we change the SIM card again with same results, so i decided to replace the SIM card holder i ordered the part and replaced it successfully and after a couple of days AGAIN start with the same issue.
The phone is out of warranty and i have no insurance on it, I have not reset the OS yet, any recommendations??
If i replace the motherboard will that fix that issue??
please any feed back will be greatly appreciated

Facing the problem of no service and no sim card detected on my v20 after a reboot or randomly ,i ve tried every thing and found out that the problem is coming from the sim card reader ,there is a space left between the sim card and the reader causing the problem ,the fix is to full the space with a small paper or something to force the sim card into the reader
I know this is a necro post, but I wanted to confirm that this DOES indeed work. I got a second hand V20 from eBay today and couldn't get the thing to recognize the SIM Verizon was giving me at all. Gotta go back tomorrow to have them activate it now that I know this trick works on this phone!!

I ended up sending the phone back for exchange, after a small 1" drop the SIM was dislodged and the adapter broke and got a new one which didn't have the issue, so I unfortunately don't have any pictures. The best way however to place it is to ensure that it is directly over the SIM card and goes into the slot with your SIM, it should be providing some pressure on the back of the SIM to push it into the slot firmly, but not bulge the MicroSD adapter's metal too much, if you've done that, a fall may just break your SIM reader.
