A recent update to One UI 7 has caused a peculiar issue for some Samsung Galaxy models. After updating, many users have reported receiving a Setup Wizard message that prompts them to insert a SIM card, even though one is already installed. This issue affects several models, including the Galaxy S21, S22, S23, and S24 series.
Many users have shared their experiences on Samsung Community and Reddit, of facing the persistent Setup Wizard Notification on their Samsung devices following the One UI 7 update. This notification may suggest that a data limit has been reached or that the SIM card “hasn’t been inserted” or “isn’t installed correctly.”
While it’s possible to swipe away these notifications in most cases, they often return within hours, creating a sense of frustration. Although an official fix from Samsung is not yet available, there is a simple workaround.
While some users have found that restarting their device resolves the Setup Wizard notification issue, this solution may not work for everyone. Here is another workaround to address the persistent Setup Wizard notification problem on One UI 7.
Workaround to Fix the Setup Wizard Notification Issue on One UI 7
1. First, launch the Settings app on your Samsung Galaxy phone that is running One UI 7.
2. Next, go to the Brightness and Wallpaper option.
3. Disable Auto-Brightness and then adjust the Brightness Slider to its lowest setting.
4. After that, enable Airplane Mode and then disable it again.
This is a temporary solution; therefore, until an official fix is released, affected users may consider employing the brightness and airplane mode technique mentioned above or simply dismissing the notifications as they appear.
It is essential to understand that, despite receiving the Setup Wizard notification and SIM card error message, cellular service will continue to operate normally, regardless of these error alerts.
