Smartcard Service is not responding.

[jclegg1711]

Hi all,
I have an Alcatel 3V with Android 8.0, and when I turn on the device and get to the home screen I am welcomed by a not responding error which states "Unfortunately, Smartcard Service has stopped responding" I only get this on startup, and I don't see this until I turn on my device next. I understand the Smartcard Service is the SIM card interface, but I do not have any problems with calling, texting or mobile data, NFC and I still get good signal, so is this just a bug that happens at startup or is there something wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks, Jack.

Welcome to Android Central! Was the phone originally from a specific carrier, and if so, are you still on that carrier, or using a different one?
