SIM card not in??

So I've been having this problem lately where my phone goes hot in my pocket and it drains the battery quickly, also my SD card which holds onto anything you download or take pictures in the phone, it says its not in there, but I checked and the card was perfectly in there. So I went to one of the verizon stores and the guy tells me to master reset it, so I did. So far the battery problems been solved but still the SD card still stands. So all my music, ringtones, pictures, and videos are gone.
I went into Settings->SD Card & Phone Storage, there it said Total space & Available space were unavailable and the mount SD card button was grey and wouldn't work
can you guys please help me fix my SD card into my phone

Hello xa1life,
Memory cards can be a little tricky sometimes. Sometimes they are unable to be read by the device and other times they are temperamental. Is this the memory card that came with the device? Also, may I ask what size is the memory card? This is to ensure that the card is compatible with the device. Also, please verify that there isn't any evidence of liquid or physical damage on the card. From the look of the pictures that you attached, the device is a Samsung Droid Charge. JerryF gave an excellent suggestion about trying another memory card in the device to test the functionality. Have you done this yet? If so then what were your findings?
Another troubleshooting step to try is to put the memory card into the computer to verify if the computer can read the memory card. If the computer recognizes the memory card then I would recommend archiving your information and media before trying the next step. Also, I would reformat the memory card in the computer then reinsert it into the phone and see if you get the same error message as before. Once you have done so, please post your findings just in case additional assistance is needed.
Thank you...

  • Iphone 5 SIM card not installed or no service

    Hi from lady few weeks I am having this problem where phone says SIM card not installed or no service. Turning the phone on and off does work but it happens at least ten times a day. I have got a new SIM card thinking its a problem with the SIM card.
    But now I have noticed the moment I switch on to 3G mode from the settings it does the same thing.
    Can anyone tell me is it the problem with the phone or my service carrier. I have been working iPhone for almost two years never had this problem before.
    I am using iPhone 5. Thanks

    There is no way any fellow user here can know anything specific about your repair status.  You will need to call Apple and ask them yourself.

  • Sim Card Not Found

    Each day at random times my phone goes out stating Sim card not found. i was hoping there was a fix in todays update but of course no update. i have been travelling so i cannot back up etc. I have done the reset, the hard reset, and plug into the electric cord, and eventually it does come back but i miss the calls, messages etc. which happen durring this period. What is the fix for this?

    If it is an iPhone 4 it is on the side. Bend a paper clip, insert it into the hole, push and the tray will come out. Pay attention to how the microsim is seated and be sure not to bend or damage the tray.

    Install a SIM card.
    If you have and the error is still occurring the a hardware issue most likely exists.

    Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
    Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
    Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

  • SIM card not found message?

    Since upgrading to the 2.0 software my iphone has shown the message SIM card not installed. I have had to reboot the iphone to reestablish the connection. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have the same problem, I tried to change to the official provider in Belgium (having bought the phone in USA) but that didnot help either...
    The SIM card is working in a normal GSM....

  • Sim card not valid after update to ios 5

    just updated to iOs 5 on an AT&T iphone 4....says sim card not valid

    Just to make sure it wasn't a PC/Mac issue I have tried the following on each of 2 different windows PC's and a Mac & a MacBook Pro:
    New installation/download of the Software update for iPhone 4, and each time putting the phone into recovery mode. I have also been using a new micro sim from O2 - obtained first thing this morning.
    You do the maths on how much time this has taken, and guess what it still doesn't work....!
    This has to be the most direct way of getting someone to upgrade to a new phone - the day before a new iPhone comes out - coincidence.......hmmm.
    Just as a point of interest the iPhone was replaced in May this year, so is relatively new.
    I do find it had to believe that there is no word from Apple as to the reason &/or a resolution.

  • After updating 6.1.2 Sim Card Not Installed

    Hi, I updated my I phone 4 this morning and when I turned my phone back on it said "sim card not installed". It was totally fine before the update and I haven't had any issues before this. Please help

    I use Skype fairly frequently. The rather appalling rate of dropped calls does not seem to have increased with the update. It also appears to be pretty much the same as the rate of dropped calls when using my MBA.

  • I have an Ipad 2 16gb, I bought a sim card yet it says sim card not installed

    Hi Peeps, please can someone help in what I do next! the ipad 2 will find the sim card network for about 15 secs then goes off and says sim card not installed.
    does anyone know whether I need to update or download certain software for this to work.
    It is the IPAD 2 16gb, sim card checked with network provider and its working fine!!

    Giff gaff use the 02 network, so there is a chance that you are "locked"to that network (02 as Giff gaff don't sell iPads)
    Without putting in a different sim, you won't know the "3"sims from eBay offer about the best deal inro £13 for 3 months data @1gb per month, I've used them for almost a year now :)

    Honestly I dont think so, but your best bet is to take it to yoru verizon store and ask them  or you could just pop in a sim card of tmobile and see if that works. 

  • Sim card not supported after unlock iphone 5c

    iphone 5c, 12.7 GB, version 8.1.1, after unlocking when i connect it to itunes w/ other sim, sim card not supported error registered,. i check it to IMEI and its unlock, but why icant use it? I try to restore to itunes and erase my iphone nothing works, what can i do?

    How was the phone unlocked?  Was it unlocked by your previous carrier?  The only way to unlock your phone is to have your previous carrier unlock it for you.
    If you phone was unlocked in any other way, this constitutes hacking or jailbreaking and your phone will not work with another sim card.
    Get the phone unlocked properly by your carrier and there is no reason why it should not work.

  • Sim card not compatiable

    I have an IPhone 3G and ive recently updated it with the newest version, but after this happened i couldnt access anything, it just said sim card not compatiable, ive tried to put in different sims and it still wont work. Any ideas how to actually use my phone again?

    I assume then that you have not hacked the phone ? (If you have,the phone is likely bricked )
    Try rebooting by holding down the home key and sleep button (ignore turn-off slider and continue to hold until Apple logo appears .
    If that makes no difference review the sticky post at top of Forum list
    by adamtemp64 and review his recommendations
    If none of those suggestions works consider a visit to an Apple Store and book a Genius appointment

  • I phone blocked! Sim card not supported!

    I phone blocked! Sim card not supported!
    Recently bought an Iphone here in the Republic of Congo for about $600 and it was working fine until an update on Itunes. Now the phone just shows a USB cable and I tunes logo. When I connect the phone to Itunes it wants to restore and update, but then just blocks the phone again.

    Who did you by the phone from? Apple? A telecom company? Ebay?
    The phone was most likely jailbroken and unlocked. Applying the latest firmware updated undid that.
