I have finally isolated the problem with my simcard not reading properly or at all. After 3 months of thinking it was the simcard reader or something with software. It started out only doing once every few days so I'd restart phone while putting pressure on the simcard card while it booted up and this worked for a couple months. This got very annoying when it would happen 10 plus times a day then finally it didn't matter I I was putting pressure on simcard or not it would not pick up sim! I had put a thin piece of cardboard between backplate cover of phone and sim holder and this worked sometimes. I was going to give up and throw the phone away when I thought I'd try something else. I never really thought it was an app or software because of how it would sometimes work when I put pressure on back battery cover or sim holder. So finally I made a little plastic rectangle and taped to the 2 gold metal pressure pins above the simcard and to the right of the camera flash. These 2 pressure pins tell whether the back cover is on and somehow the contact was not sufficient and tells the simple not to load. Outing pressure on these 2 gold pins has fixed this problem 100%. It is a mechanical problem which is easily fixed. hope this helps try it out.
