No sim card

[Julius Palad]

I brought S4 just another day and when I insert sim card the phone says "No sim Card" but I inserted it already!

Its micro sim i'm buying another sim card today and see if it works,

Will customer service fix this if the problem is in the phone ? If yes then is it covered by warranty ?

Any help? maybe its software problem

Definitely. Visit SSC.

BTW, use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 from next time to ask anything related to S4.

And how exactly he should or anyone should know what's exactly your problem? Can be hardware or the simcard. This is up to you to find out.
First try a new simcard , and try to get one micro sim factory cut if you can, if still nothing means is hardware.

You have the answer on this topic, if doesn't work with any simcard, bring it back.

GT I9505 doesn't detect LTE sim, works fine with 3g Sim

Hello all !

I own a 2.5 year old GT i9505 (LTE variant) which works completely fine with a 3g Sim but the "Sim Card not inserted" error appears as soon as a 4g Compatible Sim is inserted. Could this be a modem issue ?

I live in India (got the phone from Europe) and have been using 3g services without any hitch for the past 2 years. Vodafone recently launched 4G services here and my phone doesn't detect the new 4G Sim card .
My phone shows the LTE/WCDMA/GSM modes but doesn't detect the Sim card.
Tried with another Sim from the store that doesnt work either.

CP: I9505XXUHOJ2
CSC: I9505EURHOJ1
All ideas and solutions are appreciated.

It's possible that there is something wrong with the phone's sim card reader. You could replace the reader for not a lot of money and it's easy to do yourself.

Maybe your phone is unable to detect LTE Networks from Vodafone India because from what I research, India uses TDD-LTE. You could Google-d LTE bands that used in India and compare it with your phone's supported LTE bands.

Thanks for your reply.
I considered that option but a 3g sim works perfectly. Do you still think it would help ?

I guess I am just lucky my phone supports both.

Still no luck !

I don't know that much about sim card technology. Have you tried the LTE sim card in a very old phone to see if the old phone detects the sim?

I did infact it works with every phone except this one.

Leads me to conclude it is the sim reader or motherboard if no LTE SIM cards work. Doesn't seem like software.
