How do I fix my Nexus 5? Lately it has some problems with reading the sim.

In practice, while I'm using the phone, or also while it is in the pocket, it seems like to reject the sim, asking every time the PIN. Ones inserted, it works for a while, then nothing, we're back to square one and the mobile does the same thing as before. It's something annoying because while I'm talking to the phone due to this issue my calls are interrupted, or a lot of times people try to call/message me but I do not have the sim inserted.. anyone?

Try cleaning the connections on the sim card and receptacle
as the card is under the battery ( normally) may a bit of paper under the battery to hold the sim card solid in place
other than that --off to a phone repair shop for a proper diagnosis and quote

Nexus si9020 bluetooth & wi-fi not working

Try turn off cell remove back and remove battery and sim card if you have a sim. If the Samsung cell company wont help you fix the problem go directly to the Samsung company for a fix , if that don't fix ya call the attorney general of your location and request that they help with the cell. I had a galaxy and it kept shutting OFF by its self 4 of them as a matter of fact and the company I got it from would not fix the cell or replace the cell with a new one, they kept sending me someone elses reject.

I have a Samsung F480 and I am getting my screen freezing and I can only fix it by taking the battery out. Is this a known fault of this model?

it is an issue not only to samsung phones but the other brands and model as well.
to give you an idea, the causes of phone freezes are.
1. firmware failure
2. low phone memory capacity due to some big files were saved to phone
3. errors on your memory card(i.e; not formatted through cp or formatted to pc instead of your cp formatting utility, etc)
4. deleted file system for your phone or relocations of its strings
5. deleted or modifications on the registry
6. other applications are running on backgrounds.
7. sim errors or the phone is having difficulty to recognize the it.
many more...

to help you fix the problem try to do the steps.
1. back up your phone files, examples are, contacts, messages, mms, notes, task, etc through your samsung pc suite.
2. switch off your phone.
3. remove your battery
4. remove your sim and memory card
5. reinsert your battery and switch the phone.
6. from your keypad menu, type this code*2767*3855# to factory reset your phone and erase or fix the errors encountered by it.
7. switch off your phone, reinsert your sim and battery and switch on play with it first by setting and configuring it and check.
8. if your sim doesn't give you any lagging or freezes, switch it off, and insert your memory card and check.

after a successful factory reset had taken place and your problem was not fixed.....troubleshooting steps.
note 1. if this doesn't fix your problem, try to remember what you have done lately to your phone.
example of it is, unlocking to all networks by the use of a patch, or reflash. if this was what you have done lately, try to go back to the one who unlocked it and have him reflash the firmware or the latest version of the firmware for your phone.

note 2, try a different sim check if lagging and pauses occurs. if not then your sim has the errors.

note 3, remove the sim and insert your memory card, if lagging and freezes occurs, there's also a problem in your memory card. you may want to insert it to your computer and run the virus scanner from your pc. and reinsert it after the virus scan and check.

note 4. after factory reset had taken place, and the phone restarts and without sim and memory it gives you the same problem, go to your nearest samsung service centers, you may be needing a firmware upgrades or firmware reflash.

regards..

My phone does not read my sim card.What can i do

Hi Dear,

When ever you insert a SIM into your mobiles. It registers with your network provider. If the SIM is not read by your phone then it is because of corrupted SIM. For this you have to get in touch with you network provider to issue a new SIM. But before this please insert some other SIM into your phone and see if it works. If it does not, then there is some issue with your Phone.

Let me know if this issue gets fixed.
