Do you currently have an SD card inserted? because with my sd card out even if i did not just remove it i will sometimes get that message. i havnt had any issues that go hand in hand with this message so it may not be a big problem but if you do infact have a card inserted and you are getting that message i would start by trying a different sd card in the slot and see if it reproduces the same message.

[Q] (help) sim card full message but no contact/messages on sim card storage

Hi.
I have recently gotten a tmo galaxy note 4.
For some reason, I started getting
'sim card full - please delete messages on sim card storage '. Every 30 minutes.
But when I checked, there were no messages or contacts for me to delete.
I searched on Google but it seems like only solution puerile aww giving is just to delete messages.
Does anybody know a fix for this issue? Or any experience? Thanks.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
I started having the same issue today. My SIM is new with no contacts or messages stored on it.
Same here
I'm having the same issue. New note 4, new Sim card with only 1 message on it referencing OTA ok. Had anyone found a fix to this annoying message?

I had the same issue... Download an app which can clean any messages from your sim card. If there are no messages to clean, turn off your phone and take out the sim card. Wipe gently and put the sim card back ensuring that it is seated properly. Even a small change in seating the sim card can give you that message , especially if you dropped the phone recently

Same exact problem here.. I'm glad I'm not the only one getting annoyed with the Flippin SIM message. My issues didn't start until I received a new sim card, which was just replaced YESTERDAY! I was received "Network or SIM card error" and then my calls were being fwd to lala land. I'm really getting pissed at this stupid phone..... I want my N:crying:3 back!!!

How to get rid of "No Sim Card" message in notification bar

I am using 2G/3G/WIFI on my M7. The message of "No Sim Card" is quite annoying. I long pressed the message and learned that the app that generated this notification is "Phone", just as the picture shows. I know I can uncheck the box to disable the entire Phone notification. However, that's not a best choice as I may miss other Phone notifications.
Anyone knows how to get rid of "No Sim Card" notification? Thank you.
Is the SIM card making a good connection? This phone can have an issue with the SIM card coming a little lose. The solution has been to add a little scotch tape to thicken the SIM card which in turn makes it a tighter fit in the slot and holds it in better.

Manually cut nano sim card and damaged tray

Normally I read all the instructions but no... not this time. I missed the warning on the back of the phone explaining that a manually cut nano card will hurt the tray. Now, when I insert a sd card (any sd card) either it does not find it either it says "damaged toshiba sd card, touch to fix". But format won't work, an error "unable to unmount" appears. Now I changed my nano sim card for a genuine one (I could not before, I was abroad), but it does not change anything. I though to write about my experience to warn others and also maybe someone knows if there is a way to fix it?
I manually cut my first card. It was a big old card so I had to cut half of the chip. Anyway, the phone was losing signal from time to time, but I replaced it with a new genuine one and it works perfectly. Try taking it for a fix if you have your warranty
Hey, you saved my phone. I just wanted to do the same you did. THANK YOU!

My G6 Shows 'Corrupt SD Card' Error but Fails to Format it

My G6 says that my SD card is corrupted, so when I go to format it the percentage completed immediately shows 20% then, after about 10 seconds, the formatting screen closes before it completes the format, and the whole time it shows that it's formatting it is always at 20%. Then my G6 acts as though there isn't an SD card in the phone, it only shows up again after I power cycle the phone. I have tested multiple MicroSD cards on this G6 and the same thing happens for every single one I tested, but I happen to have (limited) access to my mom's G6 and when I tested the same cards on her phone it says the SD card is corrupted, but successfully formats it and mounts it.
The MicroSD card that I would like to use with my phone is a 200gb SanDisk card.
Thanks in advance.
Update 7/2/2018
Hey, Can it be read/formatted in a computer with your sd adapter like a flash drive? if it can try reformatting it there then see if your device can recognize it. if it can't or it says corrupt / needs to be formatted and craps out... it's your SD card. it is the same one I had (probably..with red lettering on it?) That's the bad news, the good news is you can still go online and register it with SanDisk and they will send you a new one for free (cost of shipping to them the corrupt one, you have to pay.) But they will send a replacement, I think it took about 2 weeks to get one back.
Take care.

I can plug it into a computer and format it successfully, it works in literally every other device that I've tested it in, including my mom's G6. That's why I have a feeling that the problem is being caused by some sort of issue with my G6. I have tried factory resetting my G6 two times already and it failed to fix the issue. I want to root my phone, but my software version is H87211h, and the method mentioned here has (as far as I know) only been tested on devices running H87211g.
Hello there. I have same problem with my LG G6, It shows every SD Card as corrupt and tap to fix. when i try to fix and format it get stuck on 20% its been more then two months and i am unable to use the memory card on it..
There is nothing wrong with Memory cards , it is the problem with the LG G6 either it is software issue or may be due to the fact that i have changed the Sim Tray as my sim tray was broken... The Network sim card work fine only problem is the Sd Card.... If any one have the sim issue or any solution .. Please share.. Thanks

Same thing happened to me, my SIM Tray broke and I bought a replacement from Amazon and that's when the issue appeared.
I updated my G6 to Oreo and now it shows what command is causing the formatting app to crash. I've attached a screenshot.
OK, so with the new info (sd tray breaking) I think what happens is when the SD tray is breaking, it's getting caught up on the little pins inside that contact the SD card and bending them a bit, and then that pin or pins are screwed up so it can't read the SD, and because it detects that there is one in there, begins to format and go thru the sectors when it gets to the messed up pin it craps out because it's not reading anything so it's saying the card is corrupt at that point. You have to send it into LG for a warranty repair. I had to do this too. go on the website, register your device, tell them the SD tray broke inside and it won't read the SD card or the SIM, and you will get a repair number within 24 hrs or so. Send in the device and you will get it back about a week turnaround time.
Good luck.
Most every time I've had this issue has been after an update or switching ROMs or kernel update and usually the issue is the kernel.
So basically speaking if you have an SD card corruption after any of these particular events reflash your kernel first.
I just bought a new Samsung 256GB microSD. I copied everything from my old card onto my PC, then onto my new card, and then put the new card in my phone. Android says it's corrupt and needs formatted. I try to format it and it always gives an error saying the command failed. Put the card back in my PC (which now can't use the card either) and performed a format (without the Fast option). Android still says it's corrupt and always fails to format it. So I put my old card back in the phone, and now it says it's corrupt too...
I had noticed that when I first opened the tray door it was being janky and wouldn't come out but a half inch. After reading this and getting the error for my old card too I decided to take the tray all the way out. Wasn't easy getting it out and now it's broken. Or already was broken. I tried cutting off the broken part and put the tray back, but now it won't even see a card or my SIM. So I've ordered a new tray. Hopefully that will solve everything... Unless my pins are jacked up as suggested earlier....
Well, got a new sim tray, and now it can read the SIM fine, but every SD card still says corrupt, and it fails to format it each time.
Out of warranty -- I bet the repairs cost half what I paid for the phone (like $200, crazy sale, two years ago). Sigh.
Any other thoughts on this?
The same problem with my lg g6 dual , did you have solution ?
Thanks to everyone pointing out that broken tray that damages the pin's issue. Seems that exactly what happened to the phone I gave my mom. Little to no chance here in South Africa that we could get it repaired for any reasonable price. At least this thread stopped me hunting around for a solution to the "keeps-formatting" but not working issue. Bit of a waste that I bought a new memory card, but not the end of the world. Wasting a few hours on a lost cause is much worst.
So glad I found this...
Unfortunately I already bought a new tray to replace the broken one, but now at least I know not to spend hours and hours on an issue I couldn't possible fix myself...
