Ugh! I'm so frustrated with my phon

Ugh! I'm so frustrated with my phone! I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 & at least a couple of times a day it comes up with an error saying: "SIM Card Removed: Insert SIM and restart device"... then it gives me the option to shut down without backing out or anything. My only choice is to LITERALLY shut it down and restart it... This has been happening RIGHT in the middle of me doing something on it! I just don't get it! Half of the time I'll restart it... It'll give me the same error, then I'll repeat and it's fine. So annoying! I usually just go through the 2 restarts and be fine- but I REALLY don't want to have to keep taking my Otter Box off, battery out, & removing the SIM (which is exactly where it's supposed to be) & then going through the whole reverse process multiple times a day. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions of what's going on? Anyone else have this problem? Other than that I love my phone...

That phone might have something wrong with the hardware. Are you still in time to exchange it?

You could also try a factory reset, if it's something wrong with the software, this might help.

Good luck!

I have had this same issue with my S4. I have also read that this seems to be a common problem with no real fix. I have had the SIM replaced and did a factory reboot but neither fixed issue. I am wondering if it may be a software issue since you are having same error on the S5.

GOT IT FIXED - I searched online and read through many of the replies and found the following to work. I cut out a small piece of PostIt the size of the SIM card and stuck it on the back of the SIM card. I actually cut 2 similar pieces to add to the thickness a bit. And IT WORKED! Before the fix, my Samsung Note could not recognize the SIM card, but now it is fine.

Good diagnosis - it means that your SIM card socket is defective (the metal holder isn't exerting enough pressure on the card). It would be covered under the warranty.

I have the same problem with my note 2. Sim was working great then it stopped reading it and said no sim. I have replaced the card slot, put the paper on it, unlocked it again, cleared the cache and rebooted it. Please help?

You can keep replacing parts (the motherboard would be the next logical choice) or you can save money and bring it in to be repaired.

Only fix for my S4 was to replace my NFC Sim card with a non NFC Sim card.

An S5 is under warranty - it should work as advertised, or it should be replaced. Asking for a warranty replacement isn't asking for a favor, it's asking to receive something you paid for.

Totally agree... however, my concern is that it's a known i

Ugh! Tôi rất thất vọng với điện thoại của tôi! Tôi có một Samsung Galaxy S5 & ít nhất một vài lần một ngày nó đi kèm với một lỗi nói rằng: "SIM thẻ Removed: Chèn SIM và khởi động lại thiết bị"... sau đó nó mang lại cho tôi các tùy chọn để tắt mà không sao lưu ra hoặc bất cứ điều gì. Lựa chọn duy nhất của tôi là để theo nghĩa đen đóng cửa và khởi động lại nó. Điều này đã xảy ra ngay ở giữa tôi làm điều gì đó về nó! Tôi chỉ không nhận được nó! Một nửa thời gian tôi sẽ khởi động lại nó... Nó sẽ cung cấp cho tôi lỗi tương tự, sau đó tôi sẽ lặp lại và nó là tốt. Vì vậy gây phiền nhiễu! Tôi thường chỉ cần đi qua 2 khởi động lại và được sử dụng tốt - nhưng tôi thực sự không muốn có để giữ lấy hộp rái cá của tôi ra, pin ra, và loại bỏ SIM (mà là chính xác nơi nó là nghĩa vụ phải) & sau đó đi qua các đảo ngược toàn bộ xử lý nhiều lần một ngày. Có ai có bất kỳ ý tưởng hoặc đề xuất những gì đang xảy ra? Bất cứ ai khác có vấn đề này? Khác hơn là tôi thích điện thoại của tôi... #2STARGATE nói:08-12-2014 08:33 AMĐiện thoại có thể có một cái gì đó sai với phần cứng. Cậu vẫn còn trong thời gian để trao đổi nó không? Bạn cũng có thể thử một nhà máy đặt lại, nếu nó là một cái gì đó sai với phần mềm, điều này có thể giúp. Chúc May mắn!

Tôi cũng đã đọc rằng điều này có vẻ là một vấn đề phổ biến với không có sửa chữa thực sự. Tôi có SIM thay thế và đã làm một nhà máy khởi động lại nhưng không cố định vấn đề. Tôi tự hỏi nếu nó có thể là một vấn đề phần mềm kể từ khi bạn đang gặp lỗi tương tự trên S5. #4Samn Kidd said:08-24-2014 10:00 AMI have am having the same issue.
