S8 shows full network connection icon even when there is no SIM

[harshadpatel]

My S8 suddenly was not getting the data sign i.e 3G or H+. When I started checking, the whole of the network operation including calls and texts were not working. I tried to restart the device but it did not help. I went to settings>connections>mobile networks and tried to select mobile operator manually but it gave an 'error while searching for network' message. I removed the SIM and restarted the device. After the restart the device shows full bar of network even though the SIM is not there. I even did the reset network settings but still it shows the full bar of network on the connection icon. How do I resolve this issue without doing a factory reset?

The full bar of signal is probably seen by your device and can be used for emergency calls regardless of the sim status. Your sim not working should be resolved by the network provider. You can troubleshoot by trying the sim card in another phone, and trying another sim in yours. That will tell you if it's the sim or your device.

The bar is for the wifi net or the sign of your SIM card here?

The bar will still be there it's not til a SIM is in there that it shows the 4G LTE
