Bad sim card made top of screen unresponsive - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hope someone Googling this will find this post to be useful. Yesterday my galaxy s5 screen stopped responding properly at the top. I couldn't get the touchwiz notification screen to drop down and any app buttons up there seemed dead. I tried everything and finally went to a backup s5. Suddenly it too was doing this. Took out the sd card, no change. But when I removed the sim card it went back to normal. I got a new sim card and now all seems well 14 hours later. Anyone else had similar problems due to a bad sim card? I didn't find anything about this when I googled the symptoms.

[Q] ''SIM Card Removed. Please reboot phone.''

Hi all, as the title says, I randomly get this issue. I just wake up the phone and see this message here, although I have SIM card still in phone and didn't do earlier anything with it. It is sometimes 2x a week, but sometimes 2x two weeks, it's random. Earlier I just got the phone into Airplane mode and then back and it was OK, but now I have to power the phone off and pull out the SIM. SIM card doesn't seem to be damaged. I tried searching several times, but didn't find anything. Should I just replace the SIM with the new one or is it something worse, that isn't related with my SIM ?
Thank you.
I've got the same problem~

Sim card removed. Please reboot phone.

Over the past day it seems I have been getting this error quite a bit.
I've reseated the sim card a few times, but that doesn't seem to fix it. It will happen while the phone is just sitting there too.
I thought it may have been a rom issue so I reflashed that, but the issue still persists.
Short of taking it in to att I am at a loss. I really don't want to have to put it back to stock, hell I don't even remember how to do that with cwm.
Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas?

Go to the at&t store and ask for a new sim card and see if that solves your problems.

New SIM fixed it. Just weird as I have never touched it before.
They randomly die sometimes... I had one that took a dip in a creek once... still worked for a couple years then stopped working randomly one day. Hopefully you had your contacts saved to your phone though.

wierd sim card issues?

Ive had my note for about a week and a half, love it, but twice now it acts like the sim card was pulled out? Powering off/on fixes it but its quite an inconvenience. I am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue, its stock by the way.

Yes, once and awhile it will have a no sim card showing in the status bar. the only way to get rid of it is to restart the phone but sometimes it will come back after a few minutes. Its really annoying.
I lost 2 SD cards with the Note 64gb and 32gb. This never happened to me. Sim card is normal no problem.
thanks cozzeck, any news if samsung and att know about it?

Kept happening to me a few weeks after I got mine. Went to the at&t store & they put a new sim card in it & that fixed it for me.

SIM NOT DETECTED! need help!!

HI GUYS, Im having an issue with my phone(HTC dna) that is getting beyond frustrating. I got the phone like a month ago off of something it worked fine for the first week..then one day randomly stopped reading my sim card.. Im not a total dummy so ive done and ruled out the obvious , my firmware was verison 4.09.605.4 I just updated it to the current one. 4.09.605.8 so i ruled out firmware being an issue. i then went to amazon and bought the new board were the sim card attaches and the audio jack attaches i just installed that yesterday and still nothing!!. I even bought a new up sim card tray still no.. when the sim card TRAY isnt installed i get a message when about a im card not detected ,ect. when i push the tray in that message goes away which indicates it is trying to read...but in the corner you see a sim card with x through it which means no sim card..I've replaced my sim card 3 times just to rule out that but my sim card works in my other phone just not this one.. When i first got this phone a month ago it worked fine!! no troubles.. Im on the ATT go plan..i put my sim in and nothing..but now it just doesnt work..ive tried hooking my phone to my computer and opening htc sync manager and tried doing the repair and nothing ive litterally tried and ruled out most of the obvious, Is this a known problem with these phones? Can anyone please!! help me with a solution i want this phone so badly..i love this phone!!..ill be waiting for replies..hopefully someone can drop knowledge to me! thank you!
I switched over to straight talk and had the same thing happen for awhile. Changed the tray and still didn't work. What ended up straightening it out for me was either resetting the apn settings or the new sim card i got. After I did those things it worked fine.

Sim card drops out and alarm failing

Hi all.
I've had my mi8 lite global for a few weeks now.
It's been great, seems to do all I need and more.
But, I've more recently been having an issue with it dropping my Sim card.
I can be using it or sitting standby and it'll suddenly flash to the lock screen and and show no Sim card found in the notification area.
Sometimes it can go a decent length of time with no issue (couple of days) while other times it'll repeatedly do it in one session.
Rebooting the phone brings it back to normal each time.
I've also tried putting my Sim in slot two and it doesn't read it all.
And another issue I have is my alarm failing, twice now.
No notification or anything. Just didn't go off.
Not sure if it's related or not.
Thanks!
I've sorted the alarm issue.
I allowed the clock to auto start.
But any tips or advice on how to sort and solve the SIM card issue?
Maybe it's the simcard itself try to test with another one
Don't have another SIM card. I can order one though.
It's also a new SIM card.
Where it's irregular, makes it difficult to prove where the issue is.
I can put my sim in an old phone but it's a faulty phone.
Does android save these kind of things to a log?
