Was just trying to change the phone's card (was going to sell it) and suddenly it says it can't detect the SIM, although it did literally 20 minutes before. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? Already tried 2 different cards to no avail.

Flash ROM again. It worked on my phone

Last night, before I went to bed, I noticed my phone lost reception. I didn't think anything of it and went to bed. Today at work, I still have no reception. Of course I checked to make sure the actual phone on comm manager was on, but it just keeps searching. I did have my phone overclocked to 273, but I dropped it to stock speed with the same results. I even did a hard reset and it does the same thing. I tried to go in an manually select a network, but it just says searching. I'm running Open Touch 3.0 Biggy. Any ideas or suggestions? I've heard that sim cards can go bad and cause this, but mine seems to be working. I can still access all my sim contacts.
Thanks,
Nevermind....
Okay, so I found someone who had a tmobile sim card, and swapped with their phone, and their sim card works in my phone, but mine won't in theirs....therefore, bad sim card. It's weird though, because I can still access my contacts though. ....off to buy a new sim card. Man, I'm glad its the card and not the phone. Waaaaaay cheaper to fix.
Recently I have been having this problem where my phone will have connection to the network for about 3 hours max then it will loose service completly. Then if i try and switch to 2g only it doesnt do anything but stay without connection then i will restart the phone and it will give me the no SIM card notification and even if i try and select the network manually it will say SIM card not registered on network anyone having these same issues.
I am running JF1.5ADP with lucids apps to sd
PS I have switched sim cards 5 times and a number change and even a ban number change any suggestions before i junk this thing and get an iphone.

After that, nope. Go.
I had this happen to me once. I rebooted a few times, and Reseated the SIM card and that seemed to fix it( Although, i don't think that is what actually remedied the problem). That happened about a week ago, and i haven't had any problems since.
Running JF1.5ADP Also.
Oh, And c_low: Don't come into an Android Forum and start talking about getting an *phone. I don't think it'll get you any non flame replies.

thats real helpful im sure your a valued member of this forum lmao(tool)
Ever since i updated to official froyo, Jk4 / JL2 etc. I see that my phones network disappears for no reason. The sim card tools option is also gone. It says that there is no sim card even though there is one. I thought it was a lose card or something I stuck some paper behind the sim card and it worked. After a while, it started doing that again. I even got a new sim card but it still keeps doing that. Anyone know how to fix it? (Factory reset has been tried).
Thanks You.
Ps: has anyone else been experiencing xda forum app force closes lately?
I'm new to this whole world of GSM. I've been CDMA for 10 years+. So forgive me if this is common knowledge.
I have a N4 using a Straight Talk Tmobile Sim Card that was cut. This is the 3rd time this has happened in about 3 months. When suddenly my phone says no sim card.
Ths 1st time I flashed the louder add on app. Then to get it back working a restore didn't do it. I needed to flash a new kernel.
The 2nd time My phone was install tons of apps and then it rebooted, came up with no sim card. I flashed the update for my rom PA3 since I downloaded it anyways, and that fixed it.
This 3rd time my phone did not reboot, but I was in church had phone i silent, pulled it out pocket no sim installed. Before I do anything else just wondering is this something to expect? or do I have a bad phone, rom, sim or whatever else? And what's the best way of fixing it? Feels like im throwing jello and something is sticking.
Thanks!
EDIT
I've used a non activated sim card, and it does not even see that I just installed it.

Use a real micro sim, not a cut sim.
There is no option for Tmobile and straight talk.
I dont think its the SIM anyways.
Because I installed a micro sim (not cut) into the phone and the phone does not see it neither.
does anyone also experienced this to his s4? i dunno why but it happens several times in me
anyone??
I also get this problem but I usually find it settles down after several restarts. It will then be fine until I next need to restart it and will get the error again saying SIM card removed several minutes after restarting.
