sim issues - Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers

I am using the a71 with two sims one for work and one personal .. I use my three sim personal one in slot one and my work vodaphone one in slot two
I only started to use dual sim yesterday and twoce overnight my dual sim stopped working and sim one failed
I had to reboot the phone on one occasion and it fixed the issue and the second time I had to physically remove the sim tray to get it working again
Anyone else had this issue ? Have I a faulty handset , it came direct from samsung UK so I have emailed them for a replacement but in the mean time wonder if it's a known issue or I am doing something wrong or it's a faulty handset
Love the handset so hope it's just faulty

Diamond wont receognise sim card

i have a problem with my diamond. It only reads my sim card, wont read any other sim card that is inserted. It was originally using XOR morna rom, done a new flash and still same problem. Re-flashed with a original HTC rom, but still same problem. I some how think its not a software problem as it has been flashed/hard-reset numerous times.
Any one know what problem can be or if anyone has same problem, with solution
thanks
kerim
Mmmm...
When you say it only reads 'your' SIM card, do you mean it's SIM locked. If you're on vodafone for instance, and you put another vodafone SIM in, does it recognise that? Or do you mean it won't allow any other SIM at all... even if the network's the same?
If it's the first option, your device is obviously SIM locked, if it's the second option, have you installed any security software like Ultimate Theft Alert, or similar, which will also block any other SIMs??
its not sim locked, it was an unbranded phone when i first got it. I am on three and have tried 3 different other three sim cards and also a vodaphone simcard, non of them work.
Its like there is no sim card at all. Im starting to thinbk its a hardware problem not software as i have flashed it few times now with different roms
any ideas, i need to get this working urgently
Mmmm...
Definitely sounds like a hardware issue to me. It's probably time to send it away
Hey Kerm when you put the sim cards does it ask you for for the pin??? or what you could do is see if you can try to clean the sim contact in your phone or run a eraser over the sim card contact and see if there is a difference
had a problem with an unreadable sim-card a few months ago as well; A new sim-card solved my problem... But since you are having trouble with 3 different cards, it might be a hardware problem in your case indeed.
doesnt ask for any pins, as soon as the phone starts up with another sim card inserted, it says no sim card. When it starts up with mu simcard inserted, phone function runs as normal, i can see reception bars etc
I had the same problem when i received my diamond. Tried several sim cards but none was recognized.
I received a new phone because it was a hardware failure.
Sounds like mu has a way of making a new kinda sim lock that only works with there phones ,I would digg a lil deeper and make sure its not a sim lock on your phone
what do you mean by MU, couldnt make it out. How can i find out about if its been sim locked

Optimus 4X HD not recognising my sim card (three)

I have just bought an LG P880 and to my horror found that it does not work with my sim card.
Here are the details:
Three Sim card (GA6047) monthly contract
LG P880 unlocked
I have tried the following sim cards and they do work
O2
Orange
I have tried a factory reset and a hard reset with the Three sim card in and out, each time it fails to detect it.
I have tried the Three sim card in the following phones and it does work
HTC 7Pro
Nokia N900
Samsung Galaxy Europa (The phone it came with)
While waiting for Three customer services I tried the Three sim card out of my mobile broadband GA6029 and was shocked to find that it did work.
So here i am with two three sims, one works with the phone, the other doesnt not.
All three said was to go to a shop so they can see it for themselves.
Do any of you have any ideas?
3G is activated? :silly:
Get a new SIM-card ... But it's best if you go to a three store and try one of their sim cards first. Pretty sure it will work. Maybe the sim card batch you got is faulty somehow and just not recognized by the phone. Exchanging the simcard shouldn't cost you anything if there's a technical problem.
Strange. My three sim works. It's a micro sim in an adapter. Maybe there is an alignment problem?

With android I don't know...
With the old K990 I just had to flash with an open firmware.
I have full size three sim works fine, but make sure data is enabled or you won't get a signal...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so an update.
I went to the three store yesterday. They let me try one of their demo sims and that worked. So they gave me a new sim. But once the sim activated, it yet again didnt work. Same as before though. The sim works in several other phones.
Does anyone know about different sim types?
The sim is a normal mini sim. But i am guessing that their are diferent sims for different phones?
Try microSIM from three. Maybe it helps.

I had the same problem with italian sim. I discovered that pulling the sim 1mm over the battery solve the problem. Maybe the contacts of the reader and the ones of the sim are not at the same distance when the sim is full inside the reader.
Hope will help

i am not sure its FULL size, since that includes the sim tray which in early 90s and forward was a complete card with simchip you could push out
the regulars or todays sim are mini-sim cards.see more here

[Q] Sim Card Not Found

I have a Developers Edition, using an AT&T sim. I just got the sim about a month ago, as my previous phone had a normal sim instead of a micro. I'm running Android Revolution 8.1.
Intermittently, about once every two weeks, I lose all connectivity and it says sim card not found in the status bar. I reboot the phone and everything is fine. I've tried removing and re-installing the sim card twice now.
Has anyone else had this issue or know the cause?
I had that happen to my DE for this first time this morning. A reboot solved it (for now). If I'm not mistaken, this happened on the HTC One X and a number of people got new SIMs only to have the problem resurface. I guess we'll have to wait and see how many others are affected or if it's limited to only a handful of devices. I doubt if there's anything wrong with your SIM card, but AT&T will give you a replacement if you want to go that route and see.
I used to have the problem one my one x, it was caused by a poorly fitting sim tray combined with the body and back not being completely rigid (it was the same underlying problem which caused the screen flex and wifi problems on the one x). I solved the sim problem with a new sim tray but the underlying problem always remained of course...
Hello,
I am with international HTC One and I have already had this issue twice. But for me, rebooting the mobile does not solve the issue. The first time, after having switching 10 times with some other cards I had, it suddenly worked when I put the card from an Iphone.
This night, same issue again ! Up to now, even with changing with the same card, it does not work !
**** ! I don't know what to do......
Any ideas ?
i have had same issue with my ex One X . Went to service and replaced mobo.btw while all process service guys scrached the body,lost bluetooth sensivity,lost wifi sensivity,green-orange led became bigger light.
i hope something wrong with your Sim.or store can replace with new one . otherwise bad days waiting for your One.
Found this solution in another forum. Sounds like it might work.

[Q] My HTC One doesn't see my sim! Help!

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I bought a secondhand HTC One (M7) because my old HOX was giving me headaches..
In all my enthousiasm i have forgotten my one and only sim card tool at the sellers house.
When I got home I immediately wanted to put my sim into my new M7 and tried to open the sim with the back of a needle.
This went wrong on my old One X (I was too deep in the phone with my needle).
I tried it with a paperclip and that worked perfectly. I'm getting to my point now.
When I inserted my Vodafone NL sim into the M7, the phone says no sim. So it appears it doesn't recognize the sim.
The phone came from another provider, so I'm not sure whether its simlock free or not..
When I put the sim back in my One X there was no problem at all, the phone recognizes the sim immediately and works perfectly fine..
So I tried putting 2-5 layers of tape on the back of the sim (yes, I tried 2,3,4 and 5 layers.)
I also performed a factory reset. But nothing seems to be working.... ((((
Is this a hardware failure or can we solve this?!?
BTW I am running stock Sense 6 Android 4.4.2

SIM Card Problem

Good Day for you.
I lives in Saudi Arabia, and we have three SIM card provider here (STC, Mobily and Zain).
I have a rooted HTC One M7.
I faced a very strange problem with my HTC One M7 mobile phone, which is:
A week ago suddenly my phone stopped working with Mobily SIM Card. Then I did the follow:
1- remove Mobily sim card and insert it in other phone and it's working fine.
2-Tried two other different Mobily sim card in my phone and it's not working.
3-Tried other provider STC with my hone and it's works normally.
4-I went to Mobily office to check if my phone become in a black list, then the guy checked in his system and found my phone in white list. So this good .
5-I tired to make factory restore and even this not works with me. The problem remain the same.
6-Tried to change ROMs and nothing happen as well.
7-Went for service shop to check SIM card port I found it working fine. I thought may be sim card port got damage in one or two pins for example.
So please can you advise what is wrong with my phone and what to do to solve this problem.
