The action in this example would be to enable GPS. Using the GPS example that I talked about earlier, a Trigger could be set as ‘launch Google Maps’, so that when I manually launched the Google Maps application, an action would happen. Triggers are things that, you guessed it, trigger an action that is set to happen. There are three sections here: Triggers, Actions and Constraints. When you tap on the Add Macro button within the main menu of MacroDroid, you’ll get your first blank macro template. Besides enabling root, turning off the persistent notification, disabling analytics, and wanting to try out the experimental features, there wasn’t much that I messed with in the settings. You can read through the settings from these second two screenshots here but they are straight forward things that you can set. MacroDroid creates a persistent notification but you can easily disable that in the settings page here. MacroDroid doesn’t require root access but checking this box at the top will allow you to do more powerful automated tasks and I’ll get into which ones require root access later in the article. Launching the settings page will show a huge list of various options that you can set.

I’ve been able to set up some basic macros so far and it has all been free but if you want to do some of the more complicated things then you’ll need to pay. You can use it all you want but it will cost you $2.99 if you want to have an unlimited number of macros, an unlimited number of triggers per macro, an unlimited number of actions per macro, an unlimited number of constraints per macro or if you want to import/export some macro lists. MacroDroid is free but it is somewhat limited in its functionality.

This is what you want to see at the bottom of you screen if you have not activated your sim yet.When you first launch the application, you are shown 6 icons with options like List Macros, Add Macro, View Templates, Settings, Forum and Upgrade. After I completed this process my note 2 said sim not provisioned emergency calls only. The phone will try to register on the network if your phone is already activated this will get you going if your phone is not currently activated this will clear the no SIM card error message but it will take maybe 3-5 mins. Next you next go to settings, connections, more networks, mobile networks, network operators, from here I'm not sure what you will see but my phone says default setup so tap that, now you can select your carrier, select the appropriate carrier. You should see safe mode at the lower left of the screen. Continue to hold volume down until you are at the home page. What I had to do is boot the phone in safe mode, on the note2 this is accomplished by holding the volume down button while powering on the device. I was wrong I replaced the Sim card reader twice and still had the same problem.Īfter trying all the possible ways to fix I thought about one thing, with this error I could not access the network selection menu because that was/is ultimately controlled by the SIM card, so how could I bypass that problem, be cause that is the heart of the problem. I thought the Sim card reader was no longer working. I started Having problems with with the Sim card and got error message saying that there was no Sim card in the phone. Hello all, I think this might be helpful. I wonder if there's some sort of localized overheating type of problem, as I haven't had any issues since I quit using the Otterbox case and have kept my phone out of my pocket as much. I've noticed the problem was more likely to occur when I'd been commuting somewhere (i.e. Regardless, it's a cheaper and less inconvenient fix than spending $100 to get a replacement with the insurance thingy my carrier has, and I think I could still send my phone back without the repair being noticed.Įach of these fixes would prove to be just temporary.

Online sources suggest a heat gun to remove the tray but mine peeled off without much effort. No soldering needed, so it's something most people could try. Found the part for $7 on Amazon (w/ Prime), and operation was straightforward with just removing the 9 small screws holding the back of the phone together, disconnecting the small ribbon cable connecting the tray to the motherboard and peeling the tray off of the motherboard. So far I've tried nearly every practical fix action (short of replacing the phone):Ģ) Replaced SIM card (and used compressed air to clean out any possible traces of debris, despite always keeping the phone in an Otterbox case).ģ) Replace SIM card/SD card tray. I've had this same problem on my S4, although it didn't start happening until I'd had the phone for about a year.
