There's the old remedy or rubbing the surface of the surface of the SIM cards. Have you try putting the SIM cards in different phone? Just in case the SIM cards itself are the problem.

Getting a slightly thicker sim adapter might work too. Did it on my old LG G3.

Just returned from Samsung Service centre.Burn almost RM1200 for changing motherboard.Strange thing just unable to read SIM but the reast of the function still good but i need change entire mother board.How absurd is that.The phone will be back by end of this week.

Now i need to find a way to install whatsapp to my old Galaxy Note 10.1
Any idea how?

That's how they earn your money.

Last time my Galaxy S4 unable to turn off Wifi, they chance the whole motherboard as well, cost me RM600++.
