Moto G 3rd generation doesn't recognize SIM card on slot 2

[Freddy Daniel Garcia]

Hello,

I have a Moto G3 and I have been using dual sim for last 2 months. But since last week the SIM on the slot 2 is not getting detected. I tried swapping the SIMs in both slots, turns out the 2 SIM cards are working but the SIM in slot 2 is not getting signal. When I dial *#06# it shows me 2 IMEI.

Android Version: 6.0



Can someone help please? Is a hardware damage or it can be solve with some trick?

Thanks.

When did it stop working? Try clearing the cache or since youre on 6.0 resetting the device (the new backup agent is better from what I've heard).

Most models don't.

It was the last week, but it was suddenly, no update or some app caused the damage.

I cleared the cache and made a factory reset but the SIM card still is not recognized.

Help please!

Since the sims work I think you may need to reflash 5.1.1 to see if the slots work, if not I'm afraid it would probably be a hardware issue. (To find the factory firmware look on the XDA developers forum for the Moto G (2015) and download the firmware for YOUR SKU ONLY. If you flash the wrong firmware you may brick your phone. The instructions flash it are in that forum too).

Hold on, the slot is working. It must be a coverage issue or software issue.

How did you discover that it is "working"?

Thanks for the reply. Before reflashing the device, do you think is worth send it back for warranty, to discard a hardware issue first? I don't wanna void the warranty maybe for nothing.

And how do you know is working? I don't think is a coverage issue because when I put any SIM on slot 1 it works fine.

If the slot was not working there would be a no sim card icon in place of the triangle which is empty. It may however be an antenna issue.

I would say it depends on where you bought the phone. If it is from Amazon or something similar, yes, however if you bought it from Motorola their support is known to be ridiculously poor. I don't think flashing stock firmware will void your warranty however it is possibly an antenna issue and not the slot itself, if you feel safer sending it to the retailer for a replacement/repair do that first.

Don't do this. Clean Master is just a placebo act.
