iPhone 5 s problem

My 5s iPhone displays a message that a SIMM card is now required.   This has happened once the software has been updated by Apple.   Now, the phone is unusable to make calls and send messages.  Suggested corrections?

An iPhone has always needed a SIM card to activate and make phone calls, with the exception of the older CDMA devices. You insert a SIM card to activate the device.

Please provide the exact text of the message you received.

    Turn off your device and turn it on again. If this does not help, sign out of your account and reconnect.

    In addition, you can try to reset your settings.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    What do you mean by 'repetition '?

    You use two phones? Or did you give the old phone to someone else? If you use two phones, one ID on both Apple is probably than most people. Before you give or sell an iOS device, you must sign in iCloud in settings > iCloud and restore the device as good as new.

  • iPhone whistling noise problem 7

    Hello. I was thinking of getting the iPhone 7, but lately, the problem of noise resulting (hiss) because I'm not going to take now. Is - this problem stems from what could be reversed? Really annoying situation. We expect an explanation from Apple.

    Apple says you can get a replacement if your iPhone is a whistle. Seems to be the real problem. But how would I know that the new phone will not have this problem?

  • iPhone 6s - Siri problem after update iOS10

    Hello

    Update iOS iPhone 6s 9.3 to 10.0.1 (Siri on 9.3 worked perfectly)

    The Siri operating only in WiFi and 4G update.

    When you try to 4G, she says: I am having some problems with the connection. Please try again in a moment.

    Turning back to the WiFi and everything is OK

    Already tried Siri to use on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support + network reset.

    Any ideas?

    UPDATE:

    The problem was with an application called Onavo Extend open VPN through the 4G connection (does not not over WiFi - it is used to compress beyond 4 G communication).

    This app worked well in the 9.3.x and now somehow does not work correctly.

    Disabled once Siri is back to normal.

  • IPhone-Android text problem

    I had a problem when a group of friends sends SMS and I do not get them from one of the individuals in the group. This group consists of 3 iPhones and Android 1. I know issues when people spend to have an iPhone and then go to an Android but forget to take of iMessage, but it is not part of the case. We all had the same type (iPhone and Androids) for a very long time who have nobody in this group never cross the line and changing. This question has been which is rampant in us for a long time.

    User - iPhone

    User B - iPhone

    User C - iPhone

    User D - Android

    User A sends the text that everyone always sees.

    User B replies, everyone sees

    User C responds, everyone EXCEPT the user sees A

    User D answers, everyone sees

    The user responds, everyone sees

    The user never sees any response user D sends. The user has, B, and C can send each other text without any problem in a group of different text (removing D user) and all is well. The user A and user D can text each other and all is well. User A has other groups text mixed with iPhones and androids that causes no problems. any help is greatly appreciated.

    A group that contains a non - iOS device is a MMS. It has nothing to do with iMessage. A multimedia Message, as an SMS is a function of carrier. There are no settings for SMS on the iPhone, but there is a setting for MMS messaging and Group Messaging. These two must be on for these to work. If the user does not receive messages from the user D, then the user must check with the carrier so that they have a SMS/MMS profile on their account, based on the description you provide.

  • call phone iphone 5 s problem

    When I get my call, the phone vibrates for 8-9 seconds and I hear nothing. also while making calls, I don't hear anything after my call at the other end. Sometimes, the phone freezes at the call log filtering after making the calls too. I reset the network and phone settings. but the problem persists. What should I do?

    Hello placidsantosh,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that you are unable to hear through your car radio iPhone when on a call. I can certainly understand your concern. I'm happy to help you.

    You did a great job trying to fix this yourself! The receiver of the iPhone will not work properly if it is blocked or dirty. Please try the following steps to remove the receiver. Test the issue after each step. :

    • Make sure that nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or a movie.
      If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic on the front and the rear of the unit.
    • Check the receiver opening to see if it is blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean brush, dry, soft.
    • While you're online, turn on the speaker. If you still do not hear, then your network or the reception might be the issue. Try calling again later or somewhere else

    If you do not hear a person on an appeal or a voice message or if the sound is not clear on your iPhone

    If the problem persists, please follow the steps to test the receiver in the "Check the receiver" section in the link above.

    Have an amazing day.

  • iPhone 4 s problem audio on iOS 9.3.2 when powered

    Hello community support.

    Im having a strange problem on my 4S running iOS 9.3.2 when under tension. When it is connected to the power of Google Maps as Apple begins to repeat and maps don't stop repeating a steering control when the speaker. In fact, it looks exactly like broken record. Usually only so he can stop is to unplug it from the power source. Sometimes it will stop smoking app but not usually. It's very annoying if I need to be connected while driving somewhere and using an application of cards. Also does the same thing in spotlight search when you use the audio search. There hung noise doesn't either stop unless it is unplugged. IM using an approved charger car BTW Apple and only Apple Chargers original in my home, same problem. It is now the second replacement phone warranty from Apple, the last one I exchanged for having exactly the same problem (it's less than months). I'm starting to think it's a problem of software bug now and not material. He does the error in some applications and not others like the music or other. Its only in applications that need to start and stop sound automatically. I tried all the normal stuff, hard reboot and delete Google Maps app and fooled with it. Im going to try a full restore before joining Apple store. If anyone has had the same issue and has a fix for this problem that would be greatly appreciated. I really want to have to waste time in Apple store just for them to give me another phone that will probably be the same question. I even went so far as to the update the phone to Beta software version 9.3.3 iOS but problem always manifested.

    Hello mojo design,.

    Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

    It is my understanding that you are experiencing audio that repeats itself when using some applications.  That would certainly make using these applications an unpleasant experience.

    You need to isolate the problem in either a hardware problem or a software problem.  To do this, you'll want to restore as new iPhone when you go and restore your phone.  Since this will delete everything on the iPhone, remember to first create a backup. Backup instructions can be found here:

    How do I Save your devices using iCloud or iTunes.

    Once you have a backup, restore as new iPhone, follow these steps:

    How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore from backups.

    Don't forget to set up your device as a new device rather than restore the device from backup.  Once restored as new iPhone, adding all the other Apps, test the iPhone and see if the problem persists. If the audio is always repeat, this indicates a hardware problem and the best option would be to have the iPhone to be checked by a service provider authorized or at an Apple Retail Store.  You can find the closest looking here:

    Find locations.

    If the problem is more current, then go ahead and restore the backup using the same instructions:

    How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore backups.

    This time, don't forget to use the restore of your device instructions.

    If the problem happens again, this seems to indicate that there is something load from the backup that is causing the problem.  If this happens, you will need to configure like new again and then install the applications you need on the phone, the test after each installation until you determine what App is causing the problem.

    See you soon!

  • iPhone 5 c problems

    For a few weeks, I had some problems with networking on my iPhone 5 c.

    He would say "search...". "in the upper right, no matter whether or not my sim card was.

    After a while, I decided to restore my iPhone, but it got stuck on the last part of the "restoration of the firmware.

    I watched this on the support and a few people said to get out your sim card during the restoration.

    However, even when I do that, it is still stuck on the last part. For this reason, I could not even to access my phone, because he just tells me to connect it to iTunes.

    Any help?

    Ross

    The SIM card is required when you restore the iPhone. In addition, if you see an error in the last part of restoring the firmware, it would be useful if you have identified this error if it can be treated.

    Hey Broc_lee_Obama,

    Thanks for checking out the communities of Apple. They problems with your iPhone, we first want to make sure that all your data is safe and make a backup of all your data in iTunes or iCloud. How to back up your device using iCloud or iTunes

    Then you must erase your personal data and up to nine phone using iTunes. Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

    Once the phone is set up as new, you will test to see if the images and the rendering issues are pass without your personal data on the device. If this isn't the case, we know, it was with some data on the device or in the version of iOS, which will be in you backups. You can make the data manually using iCloud or iTunes, but not restored from the backup that you will bring the problem immediately in.

    If the images and the rendering problems occur always personal information, you will need to have checked the telephone equipment. Find an Apple Retail Store or Apple authorized service provider using this link: Apple find places

    If you are concerned this may be a failure of the battery itself, lithium-ion batteries are the standard in the industry. There's not a lot of brand magic here. Download the the battery life on the App Store and check the status of your battery. Sometimes, they may fail at the beginning. If so, you're guaranteed to you in your 1 year.

    Otherwise, potentially got something displayed/hidden in the background that is eating your battery while you are not intending to use a certain feature? This can happen during the last update for you. It is not common, but it happens.  See the following articles and run through your phone to see if everything made unnecessaries your iPhone do more work there.
