I had a working google wallet on my rooted phone prior to upgrading to MF9, however I just realized that wallet is broken again. I haven't been able to find a solution that works now with my rooted MF9. Anyone have a solution?

What happens when you try to use it? Did you try going online and deactivating the device then setting it back up on the phone?

I'm on MF9 and rooted, and I can use Google Wallet without issue. All it does is place a little nag bar about your device being unsupported because it's rooted. It still functions, but if you have a problem they technically won't "support" you. If you didn't do a clean install (update to MF9, factory reset), there may be a software issue. Try this if you haven't, in this order. App manager -> Clear cache, delete data, uninstall, go to Market, reinstall.

I did do that. It keeps telling me the device is unsupported, but no matter how many times I try waving the over the NFC contact on the reader it does not detect a device transaction. I thought that it may be a a problem with the reader (7-11), so I brought a buddy and had him test it. The reader instantly picked up his unrooted MF9.
Now if I go home, do a factory reset; downgrade; unroot; do a factory reset; OTA MF9; and try it, the device instantly works. The moment I hit with root it states unsupported and then I spend 3 minutes waving my phone like a magic wand over the reader while the guy behind the counter looks at me as if I've lost my mind. Granted he has seen me buy items with the wallet before, but still I would rather figure out what I may be doing wrong that is causing the issue than to just not using it.

You're not crazy. I knew I left this thread somewhere. Sometime after the 15th and before the 20th, Google changed rooted MF9 from a nag bar to a full block. I tried to launch Wallet later that evening after that post and was met with the full denial message. I contacted them on Twitter and during trouble shooting they eventually asked about being rooted and I admitted to it, while also noting it worked previously. I am waiting to see if this was an intentional server side change or they cut my support off right here, LoL
I'll have to try mine, I'm rooted stock mf9 and when I start wallet I don't get the unsupported message that I used to see. I'll have to try a purchase and see if I get denied.

If you get it to launch, you're already one step ahead. This is what you'll see if the app has been fully blocked. I haven't gotten further contact from GoogleWallet. I'm guessing they've cut my support off for rooting, lol.

That message is because of root. You modded your build prop or something and now your phone is showing up as a phone that isn't supported. Are you running a mod to allow an app from another phone to run?

It worked while rooted before. Just a small banner appeared above a "working" app. I did, however, edit my build.prop to change my 4G symbol to Verizon's 4GLTE because Sprint's is well, ugly. You mean to tell me that little thing pissed off Google Wallet? -_- Great.
...

And just like that Wallet is launching and functional again with the nag bar instead of a full blocking. Thanks for the tip, although I still want to kick Google in the shin for making that 3 letter edit disable the app.
Actually, I'm running that same mod for the Verizon symbols. I can't remember if one of the xposed modules gets rid of the unsupported nag or not since I'm not getting the nag.

Xposed? Seen the name thrown around but haven't looked into it. Guess now is as good a time as any. And yes, the "4G" irks me that much, lol. Hopefully an update will come along and change the symbol as more LTE locations come online.

SIM card removed
Unable to detect your SIM card. Your device will restart to check for your SIM card
Restart (button)
Anyone else get this error? I can't do ANYTHING when this pops up. Can't pull down my status bar, no where to dismiss the message, can't bring up the app switcher, nothing. Only things i can do is hit the sleep button to turn off the screen or hit restart.
A few months ago, i'd get it maybe once a week. Then it got progressively worse to once a day, a few times a day, then eventually it would pop up 15-20 times a day, making my phone essentially useless. Went to an at&t store, and got a new SIM card, hoping that was the problem. That solved the problem for about a week, and it started getting progressively worse again. I'm now getting this error message about once or twice a day again.
I cracked my screen (not huge, just 2 long cracks) a few weeks after getting the phone back in august, so i'd have to replace the screen ($150 locally) before sending my phone into samsung, so i was hoping there was maybe a more simple fix and the SIM reader wasn't physically bad :-\
At&t Samsung Galaxy S4 32gb stock ROM, fully updated firmware, non rooted (can't figure out how)
The sim card issues Is a know issue. I would have samsung fix the screen and the sim card error.
They should fix the sim card issue under warranty but if you try to do the screen your self they may chard for the repair. Most likely like mine it was the main system board that needed to be replaced.

I had my main system board go bad on my s3, and they told me if the screen is cracked, the warranty is automatically void. So i had the glass repaired locally ($130) and then shipped it out to samsung to get looked at. Unfortunatly they completely whiped the entire phone (internal memory) to replace the board, obviously. I'm really hoping they wouldn't have to do that with this phone, since it's just a piece on the board and not the board itself.
Are there any threads that talk about this issue? I'd like to do more research before spending the money to have it repaired

because that doesn't fix it nor does a new sim card it's a known Samsung problem and one I've been battling for months I believe it's a software problem that Samsung is aware of. Here's the other thread.

I haven't been able to confirm it yet but I think I might have a solution. I was going to wait a couple of days before posting but then I figured that I can post and collectively we can get a better sample size of data to come to a conclusion. I had long suspected that this was somehow due to location services as the problem first began for me when I downloaded Find my Friends and Glympse. I tried everything under the sun, factory reset, new roms, disable xposed, adding apps back one by one to find the cluprit (over 400!), paper in the sim tray to improve connection, everything!
The other day I had just freshly restored my phone from a Nandroid backup as I had noticed that when first restoring the phone would seem to remain problem free for a couple of days before I started getting the messages again. Well yesterday I was problem free until about 20 minutes after I first downloaded an application from the playstore following the reset. Then it hit me, all the other times the problem starting popping up again was always right after downloading all the of the application updates that piled up since my last backup. Initially I always thought that one of the application being updated was the problem (thus the adding of them one by one!) but in that moment I also realized that my Playstore app on the backup was the older version and would get updated when I made my first download. The problem must be with either The Play Store or Google Play Services! I used my trusty Rom Toolbox to go check the latest update for play services and, sure enough, play services had been updated maybe 5-10 minutes prior to the problem, probably receiving the prompt when I first tried to download something, or in the original cases, when I started the updates!
The Solution!
I froze Google Play Services as a test and low and behold, no pop up for over two days! But Google Play services is so engrained in our phones that suddenly my playstore didn't work, maps was acting wonky, and Google Now wasn't playing nice anymore. So I went back to Rom Toolbox and defrosted Play Service but turned off all location based intents, receivers, and services. Since then I'm almost 1 day error free and haven't seen any adverse effects in maps or navigation resulting in the disabled receivers, intents, or services. The answer seems to have something to do with Google Now's Location services which are constantly pinging your location. I haven't seen this fix recommended anywhere (and I've checked!) so hopefully this helps some of you out. I'd love to hear back about your results one way or the other.
Unfortunately for those of you who are not rooted, this fix does require root access and an root application manager that can manipulate receivers and intents. If you are not rooted you can try deleting the data from play services and removing updates. It may help temporarily but you may end up needing to do it regularly. You can also just disable play services all together if you can do with Google Apps.
Did anyone ever find a solid fix for this? I've been plagued with this problem and would really enjoy a solution.

The same thing happened to me. Unfortunately for me I had to send it in to sing for it be get fixed. They replaced the pcb board along with many other things that fixed the issue. So if I'd have to say. Call samsung and have them fix it for you. Took a week to get it back.

Not an option, I don't have a warranty on the device seeing as it was purchased through a 3rd party. I am very tech savvy and have plenty of resources (tool wise) at my disposal. Just can't figure out what is going on here.

I bought it through a third party too. From a local cell phone shop. But it wasn't tampered with inside so they gladly fixed it. Of you want I can send you the log report of the fix and you can see what you need to fix in order to get it working again.

I've been getting the error for a couple of weeks on my stock AT&T GS4. I've had it since release from May 2013 so about 18 months old, and out of warranty. I just recently got the OTA update for 4.4.4 so I thought maybe it had something to do with that but looks like this has been an issue for a while, and not with just the GS4 (or just Samsung phones, but HTC and others also). So your solution made the most sense....something that is common on all the phones would be the Google Play services. After reading, I turned on the location services on my phone and it immediately got the SIM error. So after the reboot, I cleared the data for the Play services and am hoping this will take care of it. Pretty big issue if its caused by Googles apps/services.
Other solution I saw was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56806072&postcount=238
That is too involved for me to try out so I'm really hoping this Play Services thing will work. But the way he describes the issue is very similar to mine...seems to be the worst when I have the phone in my pocket walking around (although it does happen when the phone is just sitting there on the desk too). I've also noticed its a little better with wifi off.

Hope it works! I ended up getting the messages again anyways though I do find that whenever the message pops up, if I delete Play Services Data it seems to last a little while before the next message. I'm still not totally convinced that it's not a software problem, as you said, it's an issue that happens on a couple of devices though it does seem to be epidemic on the S4. I've since given up on my S4 and just got my OnePlus One today! Personally, I've given up on Samsung. I've been a diehard Samsung fan for many years but my experience with my S4 has totally soured me on them; it's a piece of crap! They're becoming everything I've ever hated about Apple. I'm jumping ship to OnePlus; same specs, half the price. Except the lack of an SD card which really bothers me... But not enough to pay 300 bucks for it!
solved by switching filesystem to f2fs
I have been experiencing 'sim card removed' problem for almost 5months but recently when i switched filesystem from ext4 to f2fs i have not encountered the problem anymore, counting, 3days.
Here's what i did. I just installed cyanogenmod 12 for s4 i9505 by AntaresOne and just followed all steps from the link below including switching from ext4 to f2fs using TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2943934
Im sure that it has nothing to do with changing my rom from touchwiz4.4.2 to cyanogenmod 12[5.0.1 lollipop], which required wiping my data,cache and formatting my system, because i still encountered the problem with new the rom with the existing/default ext4 file system.
This is just pure observation, i cannot explain the mechanism with the use of f2fs in relation with sim card functionality. It has worked for me so far and the cyanogenmod12 in the link works really smooth. Please proceed with caution!
Just started getting this problem last week. Like the rest of the posters in this thread, I've tried a plethora of troubleshooting ideas to no avail. Pretty sure my phone is out of warranty but I will check...but the number of major and minor annoyances experienced with this phone and Samsung as a company ensure that I will never buy a Samsung phone again.
My i717 needed rebooted several times a day because of the SIM Card Removed error. After a few months, my charging port started going and ultimately broke. I've ordered two new ones, but they affect my cell reception, so I'm waiting on a third. Point is, after getting a battery wall charger and re-installing the old charging port board, the SIM Card error has stopped happening. Leads me to believe it has something to do with the charging port or the board it's connected to. Just my two cents.
Could you try liquidsmooth 3.2milestone. I had this issue as well but using this ROM i have no problems? Software vs hardware who knows!!

Hi,
Have same problem for while,and have tried many thing. In the end, I found that as long as I keep the NFL feature on. The phone seem to be OK. People try it out,hope it work out for you.

I've had this issue since last year and posted in this thread back in November 2014 when it first started. Living with this for almost a year but it hasn't been too bad once I realized how it works. Basically every time I have to reboot the phone, the issue starts up. It'll last anywhere from a few days to a week or so but eventually it stops on its own. Those few days can be frustrating because it can literally reboot on you every couple of minutes at times. Obviously you have to reboot your phone every time you get the SIM error, but the trick is not to restart your phone otherwise because you never know which time it will finally be stable. I have gone months without rebooting my phone once I figured this out. Only time I reboot is when its forced because I can't get to a charger in time and the battery dies.
Just got my yotaphone 2. Quick question. On the playstore... I see the apps that I have already bought ... still showing the price. So I can't install some of the apps that I already bought.
Is it suppose to be like that?
Edit: never mind. it went back to normal after awhile. it seems that i have a lot of updates going on. and all went back to as it should be.
Hi,
So heres the thing. My s7e had a broken speaker (the one on the top for talking). So i sent it in for repair and they repair the speaker and also the entire glass-back.
Now when i got it back i first checked if it still has the same imei code since they changed the glasa-back where it should be written but now its not there anymore. So i checkedin setting and it still the same imei. But then things started getting wierd.
When i turn on my data it says LTE or LTE+ insted of 4G. I know its the same thing. But why has it changed???
Next thing. Those news, called Breifing, which are located on the home screen if you swipe to the left and if you have turned on.... Well its gone. There is no Breifing app anymore. Instead there is some app called Upday (which is extremely laggy, btw) and when i tried to find it on the galaxy store, google store and on google in general, I found nothing. Like it doesnt exist. Whats up with that? I want the original app Briefing. And all i can do with this one is disable it. Oh and i tried factory reset but its still there
Next one is even weirder. I got some Polish app installed on the phone called Player. I also cant delete it, but can only disable it. Factory reset doesnt do the job. Its just there. Whats even wierder is, i somehow after a long time, found this app on google store and it says its not even supported in my country, meaning that if i hadnt already have it on my phone i couldnt even install it. I am not from Poland btw.
Now the next wierd thing is Google now. When i hold the home button and it opens Google now, i noticed its actually called "Launcher3" in the Recent app drawer. What is up with that. I am starting to think that I dont even have my original OS on my phone anymore even though in setting under software it says i have Android 6.0.1.
Can someone please explain to me what is going on? And how i can get back my breifing app and delete upday, how can i delete that polish app, how can i change launcher3 back to google now? About lte being 4g i dont really care its just wierd because before it was 4g but whatever. About lte being 4g if anyone knows how to change tell me, please, but its not the main problem here.
I also added some screenshots for easier understanding.
I Hope you guys can help me and i thank you in advance.
Oh and also the Launcher3 thingy.
And that box of text where in the bottom right corner its says "ONEMOGOČI" it means "to disable". Like I said i can only disable that junk Polish app but cant get rid of it.
And also i hope i wrote under the correct forum if not please direct me in the right direction.
To me it seems that they have installed a different software on your phone, but don't worry it is the original one. Even for me Google is called launcher3.
So, if you want to have your original software back, just download the stock firmware for your region, flash it with Odin and then everything should be back to normal.
Do you still have your data after the repair or was everything wiped? Sounds like they installed some Polish software or something. You could try backing up your data (if not lost with repair) and then installing your country/carrier software via Odin. (Search on Sammobile)
I think that they usually wipe your phone when they repair but it doesn't matter because before I sent it in for repair I did a backup and then wipe it myself. After it came back I restored my backup onto my phone, but still this new apps came.
Well how do i do that? How do i even find my country's firmware and what is Odin and how do I install it on my phone?
And can doing this brick my phone and void warranty?
Oh and one more thing since you guy probably know. I cannot for the love of god turn off "Ok google" feature.
In settings I checked everything for OFF but still on my widget it says to yay Ok Google and it still activates if I say. And I swear I have all settings for this thing turned off.
Or they have flashed a different csc thats what happened to me when i flashed a german csc it was lte so i just flashed a btu csc as im from uk and all back to english apps and 4g symbol

Well then it is probably the firmware.
But anyways how do I change it all back. And have my precious briefing back and have that polish junk app gone.
I found some firmware on Sammobile. For my model (in setting it says my model number is SM-G935F). And next to that firmware was written also my country and my carrier MOBITEL.
But how will i be really sure that is the right one for my phone. There are also some other numbers like csc and pda and something like that. And i really dont want to mess something up. Im not really a tech pro.
And i am still worried this will void my warranty. I cant afford something being wrong with my phone and having to pay for repair or buying a new one.

Flashing original samsung software will not void your warranty because it is signed by samsung.
If the firmware on sam's site is for your area, you can flash it with confidence, only when trying to flash another region you should worry.
Okay. Thanks. So is there any good guide on how to do it?
I read a bit on the web and theres to much stuff for me to understand. Some CSC and PDA codes and some CSC_HOME that i heard of somewhere and AP, BL, CP and repartition. Etc. Etc.
I dont understand any of that stuff. Dont want to mess something up.

OFFICIAL STOCK Firmware-Update (Odin)
Ok thanks. Will look into that. If i wont figure it out i just go to the repair shop and ask them to turn back to normal.
Still, anyone knows whats wrong with Ok Google. I deleted the app once again and checked if all Ok google detection setting were set to off and they were but somehow that sucker still listens to me. And i cant turn it off
It might just get and update, briefing is now upday on my phone
I also got it from repair. For speaker. And also got poland firmware and i also have problems with google ok feature. Exactly the same. Still havent found solutions though
Hello,
I have a really annoying problem with my phone(s) from oneplus.
The problem is:
at a completely random point in time, every app that i try to open, just closes immediately. every app! i can fix it through rebooting the phone but the problem occurs again after approximately 24 hours and i have to reboot again. i first bought the oneplus 6, there i noticed the problem.
I was in contact with the customer service of oneplus and they suggested me a lot of fixes which i tried (clearing cache, updating the phone, resetting the phone completely....none of that helped so i sent the phone back to amazon and i upgraded to the oneplus 6t because i thought that it might have been a hardware problem with my oneplus 6.
but thats not the case. now i have the same problem on my oneplus 6t and i dont know what to do anymore other than send this one back aswell and buy from another brand. i really love the oxygen OS and would love to stay with oneplus. I just hope that someone can help me fix this problem. Thanks,
UD
Must be something you are installing on your phones. Start fresh with a factory reset and add your apps back slowly, one by one, until you find the culprit.
I think there is something odd about your Google profile that may be the culprit, if it is not one specific app as described above.
Start with just one Google account and stock apps. If you see the problem, remove that account, reset phone, and set up with a different account to localize the problem. If it tracks to one Google account you can dig deeper to correct it.
I've seen complaints like yours that tracked to oddities with the Google account and transferred from phone to phone.
Keep the faith, it is correctable. Once you figure out where the problem us!

Did you restore anything from your previous device through Google Drive or anything? Are you fully stock? Rooted? Stable or on a Beta ROM?
If this was happening to me and I couldn't figure it out I would probably save all of my files on my PC, and completely start over with a stock ROM. It would be painful to not restore any apps with data, but in your case I might do that as well. If you want to use Titanium Backup (if it actually opens and runs) I would only restore apps you really need, and ONLY 3rd party apps you downloaded from the Play Store and go from there.
I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the device though, it's a software thing.
