Galaxy S PhonesHey guys, I have an S9+ n after my bank app stopped working because my phones software wasn't updated since 2020 I decided y not just update it. Well right after the update my phone says "No SIM card" & its laggy, no more calls/texts/data n I'm in a panic because I need my phone to work like we all do, Flight Mode button also looks like it's on but it's not I can still use my wifi but it wont initiate, the battery dies so fast now too.
Also 'Samsung account' notification keeps popping up saying "To continue using services securely, sign in again" I've never seen this notification ever pop up previously n theres always an error when I try to login to stop the notification from popping up Constantly if i swipe it away, but I was able to login on this site to post this.
I've tried restarting my phone, I tried shutting off the phone and leaving it for a bit then turning it on, I let the battery die then charging, I tried network reset, I tried safe mode, nothing is working. I didnt want to update my phone but I needed my bank app to pay my bills and now my phone is messed up from the new software, I'm hoping somebody out there was able to resolve this without a factory reset.
PLEASE help me

Galaxy S PhonesYou haven't updated your phone since 2020 and then decided to do an update and now your phone doesn't work. Probably something in the update is not compatible with your older hardware. I think it's time you just bought a new phone. Your current phone should work well enough to transfer data to any new phone.

Galaxy S PhonesEven if I kept up with updates this was bound to happen, older models cant handle the new software, wish I looked it up bfore I updated but it's too late now, if I was able to downgrade the software then cool but that's not a possibility

Galaxy S PhonesFYI for the future, once your bank apps stop working, it's time for a new phone. Yes, new phones are expensive, but you do not have to go for the S series phones. The A series are fine phones (except for the lowest #, as it's basic) for at least half the price. With Black Friday coming up, you can probably wander into a good sale. If you don't use all the features of the S series, and/or don't want the new AI features, you will do well with an A model, and it will be good for at least the next 5 years, just like the S series. I advise you to read all specs carefully, to make sure anything you choose has the memory/storage/features you want.

Galaxy S Phonesupdated software might change the
way a device interacts with the
network, and older models may not
adapt as well, leading to issues with
SIM detection or connection
