    I keep getting a message on my S4 saying

    "sim card removed...unable to detect your sim card. your device will restart to check for your sim card."

    Its a pain in the ass having to restart my phone every 10 minutes just to get it working for a couple of minutes before I have to repeat it all over again.

    So far to fix it I have,
    gotten a new sim - same problem
    changed out the sim tray for a new one - same problem
    swapped out to a new battery - same problem
    factory reset - same problem
    turned off wifi - same problem
    booted in safe mode - same problem

    is the phone just at the end of its life or what?

    any input will be appreciated

    I had the same problem with my old S4. I think the sim tray got slightly bent when I was using a sim card adapter. A folded piece of paper over the sim card does the trick, but it will warp the battery cover.

    I tried that too and still get the same message. I think it may be time to upgrade
