Unable to read SIM card after latest update

I downloaded the most recent android update on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on 12/10.  Since that update, i've gotten the message "Unable to read the SIM card.  Please restart your phone to read the card" a half-dozen times.  The timing between the messages is sparatic (one time it was a few hours between messages, another time a full day, then 12 hours the third time, etc...).
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  Is there a simple fix to this (such as just getting a new SIM card from Verizon)?  I'd like to think that the update wasn't the culprit of this, but I've had my Note 4 since the initial release, and it's only started happening since the last update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I'm having the same "Unable to read the SIM card" issue. My phone is less than two months old, the unable to read SIM card issue started about a week after I purchased the phone. That was followed by a host of erratic, sporadic issues to the phone becomes unusable and the only way to temporarily fix it is to remove the battery for a few seconds.  I've gone through the factory reset with Verizon reps where I purchased the phone from as well as with a Verizon online Chat representative. In a nutshell, I got a ticket to send the phone back to Samsung in Plano, Texas to get the phone fixed, I am going to do that today because this problem is ridiculous.

  • HT4061 Anyone unable to power phone on after latest update today?

    I just did the latest update when the message popped p on my phone today, and now my phone will do nothing.  When I hold the round button down it beeps, but won't do anything else.

  • Droid DNA - No SIM card after OTA update

    I took the OTA update for the DNA today. Now my phone says it doesn't have a SIM card. Reboot does not solve the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
    Why can't Verizon properly test updates before unleashing them on its customers?

    I have had the 'No SIM Card' issue before and after the software update, and am beginning to wonder if it's a hardware issue. Last night, I did not have a connection for nearly twenty minutes, and during that time I rebooted (quick power off as well as closing all apps) and turned airplane mode on/off about 20 times. I've had the No SiM card issue for about 3-4 weeks in varying occurrences. I've taken very good care of my phone, haven't dropped it, and haven't done anything to damage it, so I don't know what Verizon is going to do about this, but it's holding me back from updating my data plan and buying expensive accessories like the wireless charger.
    Furthermore, if an emergency situation were to happen while this problem were occurring, I will absolutely hold Verizon responsible for any damages or injury caused by the inability to communicate through 911, etc.

  • ITunes not recognizing my sim card after iPhone update

    Hi,
    So I just updated my iPhone software to the iOS 4 version on my 3G and connected it to itunes. Everything got backed up fine but when connecting to the itunes store, it says that my sim card is not supported.
    I've tried turning it off and switching it back on, but nothing seems to work.
    If anyone can help me in this, it would be awesome!
    Thanks!

    Are thses actual microSIMs or regular SIMs that have been cut down?
    IF they have been cut down, it's possible they were not cut properly and are not making contact resulting in marginal performance.
    If they are microSIMs then it's possible the iPhone is experiencing a hardware issue.    

  • IPhone 4S stopped reading SIM card after 6 months

    I have iPhone 4S it has a H2o SIM card that's worked for about 6 months no problem then one day it said SIM card failure I powered phone on/off once and started working again. Two weeks later it took 3-4 times of me cycling power on/off and removing SIM card and reinstalling it in order to get it to work. Then a week later it did same thing but took even longer. Now it won't read at all and I thought it was SIM card so I went and bought a new SIM card but no change, I looked online for help and even tried to put tape on tray/card like someone said but no change(if I even putting the tape in right place. I tried several different ways) Nothing seems to work. My phone was manufactured between 19-25 of March 2012 so hopefully I can get warranty but not original owner so not sure. Does anyone have any idea what can cause this? Why hasn't Apple fixed this problem since its been happening for a long time

    The warranty follows the phone. It should still be covered as long as it has not been physically damaged, jailbroken, or hacked to unlock it.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar. Apple has no way to magically fix a hardware problem without you taking the phone to them.

  • Unable to set printer name after latest update.

    I updated my airport extreme with the 7.4.1 updater and now am unable to configure a printer name for my USB connected Canon MP530 with the airport utility. The printer name field in Airport Utiliuty comes up blank, and the secondary device (FAX) has a name. The print queue ends up being named "Canon MP530 FAX - 1" If I set a name for the printer and reload, it is gone on startup. Looks like a bug in the new firmware. Anyone else see this problem?

    Picture texts won't send/receive over wi-fi, you have to use your cellular connection.
    You might try sending yourself a picture text from your phone; that sometimes helps resolve the issue.

  • Adobe reader issue even after latest update

    I have installed the recent adobe reader on my windows 7 (g 72- C55DX notebook PC) multiple times but it will not open files. A message comes up: "please update your adobe reader". based on the online support i have fixed my settings and enabled javascript as well but still no improvement I am not able to open files. Please let me know what I should do to resolve this matter.Thank You!

    Chrome and Firefox use their own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
    That leaves Internet Explorer; what is the exact message you get in IE - can you post a screenshot?

    Please help out to solve this problem.
    It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.

  • After latest update, unable to play games on CNN. Message says needs flash player. Worked fine before update

    After latest update, unable to play games on CNN or view some web pages. Says flash player required. Everything worked fine before update.

    Hi..
    Try uninstalling the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >   Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    If you are running v10.7 >  Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Relaunch your browser after reinstalling the Flash. Assuming your are using Safari, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a game on CNN.

  • HT4972 Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?

    Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?
    I updated my iPhone 4 over wifi and it went through the process fine, until it switched back on and now refusese to recognize my sim card!
    Any ideas?

    Usually this means the phone was previously jailbroken or hacked to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and the update re-locked it to that carrier.

    Hey guys, unfortunately I've had to re-install Mountain Lion to get rid of the issue, but here's my experiences after trying many things and contacting AppleCare...
    First, I had Lion and had upgraded to ML. They had me go do the following with limited success:
    1) Reset PRAM (no effect)
    2) Recovery Disk and repair permissions (no effect)
    3) Went to system /Library and User /Library and basically we went through several attempts at removing various files from (/Library/InputMethods, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons") Once I had essentially removed every file and dragged it into the trash (without deleting), the issue was resolved. So, it seems to point to an application that was not fully supported or giving problems within the ML environment. The plan was to drag them one by one back and do reboot/shutdown until I could isolate the application, but rather than do that, I just did a fresh install to take out any variable that could be present from having to do a Lion/ML upgrade. I was able to put a fresh copy of ML on the computer through the Recovery partition after establishing connection to my router. Everything is working fine now.
    Anyway, hope that helps some of you. It was a frustrating experience but seems to point to application issues wih the OS and not the OS itself. I think developers are still rushing to catch up with full ML support and so you might find yourself having many new updates in drivers or applications over the next month.
