No SIM card detected - Samsung Gear S

Every so often, the message will pop up that no SIM card is detected and that the watch needs to restart? I have checked SIM card placement as well as ensured the door is properly inserted back into the watch. Anyone else having this problem?

I bought two gear s' from tmobile, out of the box one of them did that and even when swapping the sims around, it seemed to follow the watch. I called tmobile and they redid the provisioning of the sim, she said the order was stuck in some sort of loop. I never had that issue again and its been a few months already.

Thanks. Just so I understand, they reset your SIM or did they replace it?

She said that she "re-provisioned" it. After she did that it went from no sim detected to working normally within a few minutes. This was with a brand new watch with brand new sims directly from Tmobile.

I am having this issue as well. I can not get the watch to even see my sim card at all. What may be the issue?

I'm having the same issue.

Even my SIM card is not detected. This happened after over a year of use. Is this a hardware problem? Or will flashing modem.bin fix this issue?

Need help with this one... I just bought the phone from someone on Facebook. Well phone is unlocked and when I put my att sim card in it says inserted sim and restarts but still says no sim when it restarts. I called Sony and they told me to hook it to computer and download the software again so I did and it still has the same problem. I put my wife sim card it it it will read that there's a sim card inserted but will never give me cell service. I don't know what else to do. Please if anyone knows what I could try please let me know.. Thanks

Check your mobile network - access point name....does it have any APN service option....
Yeah, do what Martin wrote, and also try yet another SIM card. If it detected your wife's SIM, then it's probably not a hardware issue. May I ask how old your SIM is?
The SIM tray on the Ultra is also one of the worst designed trays in the history of time, so be 100% sure that you've put it in correctly.
The sim is only maybe 6 months old.. I am going to go in the morning and see about another sim. Maybe it will work.

Okay, so it's definitely not the SIM card, but the phone did detect your wife's SIM, so I'm not sure what the issue could be
I will post what I find out tomorrow when I take it to att tomorrow
OK so I took the phone to my phone provider and got a new sim and it works great now. But when I make a call on it the screen goes black and can't turn it back on until the phone hangs up even if the phone is nowhere near my face. I have looked to maybe keeping the phone on during call but there is no setting for that. I have read a few forms about this and there's only stuff about screen protector or cases which I am not using either of them. Please if anyone know something about this please help.. Thanks

1. What Android version do you have installed?

Weird problem with SIM card?

Hey everyone,
I'm giving away my LG G5 to a family member as her other phone broke. My G5 had a custom rom and had been modified alot but i took it back to complete stock now, everything works fine but the sim card. When inserting my family member sim card it comes up as sim card has been removed which is really weird yet it will show that it has reception on the phone and shows me 4 Bars but cannot make ANY CALLS or TEXTS because the phone thinks that there is no sim card there. Now here is the super weird bit, when I insert my Sim card in the phone it works just fine without a problem I can send texts, calls and go on the internet, I tested this for an hour max to see if it was going to happen with my sim but it never happened no error message? This is a really weird problem with my G5 I never had come across any problems like this before why is it happening now?
I need to get to the bottom of this problem. Does anyone had or have similar problems like this?
Thanks :good:
??
HI. Maybe the SIM contacts in G5 got loose, have you tried putting another SIM to check?

Sim card drops out and alarm failing

Hi all.
I've had my mi8 lite global for a few weeks now.
It's been great, seems to do all I need and more.
But, I've more recently been having an issue with it dropping my Sim card.
I can be using it or sitting standby and it'll suddenly flash to the lock screen and and show no Sim card found in the notification area.
Sometimes it can go a decent length of time with no issue (couple of days) while other times it'll repeatedly do it in one session.
Rebooting the phone brings it back to normal each time.
I've also tried putting my Sim in slot two and it doesn't read it all.
And another issue I have is my alarm failing, twice now.
No notification or anything. Just didn't go off.
Not sure if it's related or not.
Thanks!
I've sorted the alarm issue.
I allowed the clock to auto start.
But any tips or advice on how to sort and solve the SIM card issue?
Maybe it's the simcard itself try to test with another one
Don't have another SIM card. I can order one though.
It's also a new SIM card.
Where it's irregular, makes it difficult to prove where the issue is.
I can put my sim in an old phone but it's a faulty phone.
Does android save these kind of things to a log?

Check Sim Card Tray message

Getting a very intermittent issue with the new phone.
Got the Note 20 and use a Samsung clear case with it.
Every now and then and can be days in between I will lose signal and the message "Check Sim Card Tray" pops up. Normally comes up a couple of times and then is ok.
Have tried the sim in Slot 1 and moved it to Slot 2 and same problem. Have tried another Sim in the phone and Sim is ok. All as Samsung support suggested.
Tried another Sim in the phone but still same problem.
Regret beginning to set in.

Try a new SIM Card. I had the exact same issue on my Note 10+ 5G & activating a new SIM Card cleared it up, haven't seen the pop-up message since, going on a month now.

Did the old "hard reset solves everything".
No messages since.
Thanks anyway

I was going to go that route (hard reset) & good chance that may have done the trick.
I also tried removing/re-installing the SIM Card & just resetting the network settings, seemed like a logical step, along w/a recovery cache wipe & it persisted.
My SIM Card was several years old & figured it might be failing, so, I switched it out for a newer one (the one that actually shipped w/the phone) & it's been working ever since.
Coincidentally, the GOOGLE NEWS app still gets its own in-app toast similar to the system wide one most have experienced (pretty sure it's an app bug). I don't see anything like it when I'm using anything else on the phone.
Glad to hear you were able to resolve the problem, it's an annoying problem, leaving one wondering if you missed any calls/emails/messages /etc......
I was told by a carrier that it is best to get a new SIM card with the Note 20 5G devices, because they were having issues with the older SIM cards in the new smartphones. Most carriers will give you one free anyway. I received a free SIM card with my new Note 20 and had it linked to my account. I hope this helps!
Found something that seems to cause and fix this issue.
If I update OTA then within minutes I get the sim card message.
If I then use ODIN to flash the full release then the sim card message disappears. (With keeping data).
Hope this helps and someone can prove that it works.

After that, the error did not recur on your device? It's been almost a year since your post.

Nope. IT seemed sorted by this.
I can confirm that divvykev method worked on my Samsung Note 20.
Firmware via Odin (without deleting data) solves this problem.
The "Check Sim Card Tray" message no longer appears.

Проблема с сообщением "Проверка лотка SIM-карты" и пропаданием сети на Samsung Note 20 решается путем перепрошивки через программу Odin, с сохранением данных на телефоне.

Question 1TB version sim card not inserted

I've had 2 1TB ultras and both have had issue,
Sim cards stop working, can't male calls nor sms.
Have to restart phone for the sims to work.
Anyone else experience the same?
Bought mine directly from Samsung
My EE sim card doesn't work but Vodafone sims have no issue.
I noticed this issue after Feb update.
512gb has no such problems.

It's really strange, now only sim 2 works!
I think it's a know issue with samsung as 1tb have been out of stock in the uk for weeks.
Yes, that's why I said it's best to get it replaced (not repaired).
Definitely mate, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the same?
Strangely my phone reads my Vodafone sim only. EE sim isn't the recognised in either sim tray.
I had an update last night, not sure if that had anything to do with it?
I nevertheless factory reset my phone and my ee sim is working, keeping an eye on it for now.
Seems to be fine for now after factory resetting.
Looks its isolated issue no one else has experienced it with 1tb version.
I just had this issue with my s21 ultra after an update on Sunday it would say i was changing carriers and to call verizon. I have re flashed the firmware ad factory reset it but after 5-10 minutes after a restart itll kick me off the network. Got it replaced with a s23ultra but tried 2 sim and the esim in it to try and get it to work and nothing.
