Tweaked iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) Fixes "Invalid SIM", "No SIM Card Installed" Errors On iPhone 4S
Apple surprised us by quietly releasing a tweaked version of iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone 4S users. Though the build number (build number of original iOS 5.0.1 was 9A405) suggested that Apple may have fixed some minor bugs, the details were not available.
MacRumors has just reported that according to a new support document, Apple has fixed the annoying SIM card issues that has plagued iPhone 4S users.

Sounds like a pain in the ass. I've had my 4S for a week thankfully no problems with the sim or battery... the battery is about the same as my 4But why make this update such a pain to get why not just release it as 5.0.2 like they were originally going too. Why make it more difficult for new iPhone users and even existing ones to update to this version.
-
Only if they had this fixed in the 1st release they would not have to do this agian, apple may be a big company but they sure do fail in some places
-
Strange had the issue myself though it turned out to be hardware or so I thought as a replacement sim sorted it out! Apple sorts poorly designed sim tray with software update?
-
Seems like Apple coded to good SIM Lock... even regular carrirer SIM is not supported :)
-
Updated, and solved the activate require issue very time changing the SIM.
-
No, its a software issue where the phone can not read it :/
-
Well, they may try to work around the hardware issue in software. For instance, maybe the SIM card disconnects intermittently, they may have increased the timeout for detecting a missing SIM card to alleviate this. They may also cache some information from the SIM card in software.

Already restored, but I'm still facing this crap problem once in a while.

Is it me or is apple not releasing these updates without double checking every aspect. It's not acceptable to me to do update every few weeks to fix something that was good in the other iOS software update and not in the newer version. But my feelings is that it's a war with dev team releasing a jailbreak and unlock for every update and embrassing apple software staff with there internationally known hacking scheme and making it work almost perfect.

You two..

i tried all this fucking **** and it didnt work iphone 3gs sucks big time

I just got my phone replaced for the 4th time, and it started to do it again within hours. 3 SIM cards, 4 phones, same problem. I've realized I'm on my own now, so I am slowing re-installing any apps that have web access, and will see if one of them seems to start problems.

i have a 3gs 32GB, recently updated IOS 5.0.1 now am facing sim card problem what should i do?? pls help me
-
Is Build 9A406 support 3gs??

Your way off your head apple

I dont think it is software. I tested the phone with two different sims from two different networks. Only one posed the problem. Also, they were cut slightly differently (but overall shape the same). The article below outlines how you can solve this. Its worked for me except i put tape directly onto my sim. Basically the article suggests that the clip that pushes out the sim tray touches then underside of the sim (ie the gold part) and causes it to short circuit. Also the sims being slightly different, im guessing the one that caused the problem kept touching the clip inside. Hope this helps. http://wooservers.com/20100710/fixing-iphone-4g-no-sim-installed-problem/

had the sim issue after activating, my new iphone4s right out of the box, hopefully since i just updated with this itll work now, im praying

I'm an iPhone 4S user. The invalid SIM issue started end of last year - changed my SIM card, updated to iOS5.0.1 (9A406), restored my settings; but am still facing the same "Invalid SIM" and "No Service" issue up til now. This is frustrating! Appreciate if anyone with an answer to share what else could be done.

I had 2 problems in my iphone 4s: NO SIM , and after i fixed that issue, my 3g network didn´t work. I solved the first problem adding a small piece of tape in the top of my sim card. The for the 3g problem, i created an APN profile with my carrier APN settings..... hope to help someone, it took me like 8 hours to find this solutions.

Had problem one day after getting new iPhone 4S 32GB. Tried Apple's steps: restore etc. Problem didn't go away. Rang Apple and they sent replacement phone. En route. Will report back.
