The last round I bought from Amazon was awful. Some wouldn't even fit my SIM. I need a couple quality adapters for when I flop back between the GN and the 900. Suggestions?

why do companies use micro-sim cards, like do they want us to damage our sim pin connectors on our phones while switching between micro and regular. Oh, wait I forgot "normal" people don't switch, damit we are screwed. Back on topic, It's hard finding a good, if you find a good one let me know also.

Indeed. I had a fantastic one for years and it broke recently. I've been unable to remember when I got it from and there were no markings on it to identify it by.

Okay, that might be hard since, I switched carrier and they don't have micro-sim cards... If you want to see how I position the micro card I can show that.
i found a really good one for just 3€ in a Chinise store here in italy, it has no brand but it works just fine, i can put my iphone microsim inside my father old BB and in my old Nokia e75 without any problem. I think it's just a bit of luck since it's a cheap piece of plastic.

Hello,
Some days are better than others...
I managed to break several of the small metal pins in the sim reader, don't ask me how but I did it =(
I unmounted the phone and it's really just a small circuit board linked to the motherboard with a single ribbon
I have googled for where to find this spare part but no chance so far
Would you know where I could find this part and help me revive my Nexus S ?
Thanks for your help
Thanks for deleting my useless post : just found out a link in the post below !
Sorry =(
Did you find a solution ? My sim card reader (or sim card tray) is broken too and I can't find the replacement part to buy...
Couldn't you guys just do a warranty claim? It shouldn't break that easily unless you were messing with it.
I can't claim warranty since it's "customer induced damage" : needed to insert my sim card into an Ipad. Not willing to lose my micro sim adapter, I put it in the Nexus S without a sim in an tore the pins when taking it out
Moreover, I live in Europe and Samsung has after-sales per region, if not country. they would'nt accept an US purchased handset anyway.
Didn't find any trace of this spare part on any other site but globaldirectpart and it's still showing as "Coming soon"....
I am in Brazil and the phone hasn't arrived in here so Samsung Brasil don't touch it.... despite the fact that they are going to say that this is not covered by warranty.
I did not find anywhere else too...
How about insurance then? But I'm assuming you don't have that either or can't.
Good luck to finding the part though. Globaldirectpart seems to have a tendency of inflating price.

Don't have any insurance for my phones and it wouldn't work either cos I damaged the phone myself =)
I don't really mind the price since it would cost me about 50 euros including shipping due to the exchange rate between $ and €. Just missing my phone a lot and tired of waiting =)

here goes the replacement part right here but they are out of stock for now
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Nexus-S-GT-I9020T-SIM-Card-Tray-p/smsng6098700.htm
Thanks but we've known that for weeks =)
The best part is the "Coming soon" !!!
Yep! We still waiting for the replacement part to be available... I read about a guy that replaced it with a Galaxy S part... but I did not figure out how.
I called a few suppliers in Asia but no luck so far
it's killing me to have my Nexus S in a drawer for a 10 bucks spare part =(
Yes, me too... that's why I love Apple and my iPhone... Samsung sucks... If I find it anywhere I will post it. I will try to find some more information about replacing it with Galaxy S part.
Do you have any link about this guy using the Galaxy S tray ?
update
Anyone have an update on this? I just broke one of the pins inside the sim tray as well....I am unable to find the parts anywhere online. This is driving me nuts....I'll even pay to repair it!
How did you break yours? I can see the op breaking his with an empty micro sim adapter, but if this is breaking from normal usage, that's not good..
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Not yet. I've read that it is possible to replace it with the Galaxy S sim tray. I've bought one and I am waiting it to arrive. I should have it in one week.
It seems that this sim tray is not good at all...
Bad News! The Galaxy S connector is different from the Nexus S one. Look at the picture:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I believe that the guy who changed it, changed only the sim part, keeping the "sim board" the same... I don't know how to do it, I will try to find out, if anyone know, please help me.
if you read the post carefully, the guy did say sim tray, you can use most sim tray, as long as the pins are position 3+3 at each sides, but you must know how to solder/desolder.
Do you know how do I do it ? I know how to solder/desolder, but I don't know exactly what should I do.
Here is a picture of the Galaxy S Sim Tray. Should I desolder this points marked by the red arrow (and off course in the oposite side) and sold it to the Nexus S board ? Is the sim tray just fixed by this solded points ?
Does anyone know of a dual SIM that fits in and works with GT-I9000 ???
PS : it's dangerous ? could it break my phone ?

Never heard of it before, where did you found that info?
There are several, but the one I'm most acquainted with it's the Simore one.
Not exactly cheap but certainly does the job, no hassles except cutting the SIM cards.
There's really no risk to it. At worst there may be some bad results in case you don't do the cuts well.
I got a 28th gen magicsim cut off a reputable seller on ebay. Had no problems on this phone or my htc desire. Only £19.99 including shipping too. Give me a shout if you want pointing in the right direction.
Would just like to add concerning Rhousman's reply that while the MagicSIM stuff is all in all a cheaper, more interesting solution, it is not guaranteed to work whereas the Simore dual-SIM adapter and similar will 99% be compatible with whatever SIM cards your throw in there.
The advantage of stuff like MagicSIM is that you can dump the information of several cards (like up to 16) into one common SIM, but you have to be able to read and decrypt the information from your original SIMs. From personal experience with a handful of SIMs, I was only able to decrypt one.
Success rate will depend what kind of SIMs are used in your country.
Completely disagree with cmdr001 i use magicsim on all sorts of phones and SIM's (my brother owns a phone shop and sometimes customers want this function). Probably got about 16 of them by now and never had issues with any sims or with the product itself.
Also your description of what magicsim does is strange. I think you're getting it confused with another product?
Hi everyone I have a galaxy note and having problem with the sim tray!! I heard the only way to fix it is changing the main board. Where can I buy the main board???

i put a microsim to sim adapter and it broke the sim contacts on the tray!! Thats why I don't have warranty. Do anyone know what can I do???
How much does Samsung charge for this repair? I think it is better to have them repair it.
U should try diferent micro sim before u buy main board, u have two type of micro sim , sim with smaller chip and with bigger, the smaller one are causing problem, some of them are not working and some of them have problem with contact.

i have same problem before, i wen to network and said that ive lost my micro sim and i told them that i want normal sim replacement, because normal sim have big chip, after they send me new sim i have no problem...

and that someone screwed it up worse..... i should be able to fix it i pm'd you
..broke mine too!!
..did a similar thing to my Note.....the sim card caught one of the connectors in the sim tray and pulled it off!!!...found a cool video on how to dismantle it (1st video on on "dismantle galaxy note"search) on you tube....on closer inspection the connector had broken and pulled away from the circuit board too (not happy!!). Have hunted high and low to try and find someone who could supply a replacement main board....without any luck - if there's anyone out there that could point us in the write direction/add a link here....i'd love you forever!!
Really missing my Note right now!!!
New mobo for Galaxy Note? Check these guys out!!!
vicdroid84 you may be in luck......have found these guys, their based in Birmingham and are called Intercity business telecommunications (wont let me add the link here) tel:0121 643 7373.....have spoken to them, they can supply and fit a new mobo for about £130......takes about 48 hours upon them getting it to repair...am sending mine of today!!!!!........yipppeeeee!!
Samsung replaces the SIM tray. I read it is less than 50$ and sometime it is free.
Changing MOBO for a SIM tree is like changing a Car engine for a small nut
i recommend you take it to a company that's not Samsung to fix it, Samsung wont fix it if you don't have a warranty

Just pointing out to the OP that the above might be misinformation. The fix should be free if it's a warranty and $50 if it is a sim issue.
and as i said earlier.. if samsung wont fix it .. i can and will... and i can say so far i havent voided a warranty as in the warranty is still good after ive done the repair.. thats how clean..... so anyone with the problem just pm me... its legit too. got pretty good at board level repairs over the past 22 years working for some big name manufacturers... just trying to help...already helped a few on here....
Sim pins
I too broke off 1 of the 3 pins pulling a microsim out. I ordered and received the sim connector from parts4repair.com. But I think I have to solder off the current connector then solder on the replacement. Am I correct?

Hi all,
This is a stab in the dark for some help, I got a HTC ONE some time ago and think its the best phone I have ever seen, but I have never used it and it has stayed in its box as it does not work with my setup.
I have an appradio head unit for the car and I use arliberator app plus a mhl adapter to mirror my phone onto the screen in my car, at the moment I use the S4 and have also used the S3 with no issues what so ever. I tried to use the HTC but it just wont work, well it will work great as long as I dont put my vodafone sim card in the HTC, as soon as I put the sim card in I get snow issues. By snow I mean a fuzzy screen not that it starts snowing!
I have tried various roms but all the same result, I have been on the arliberator forum and I seem to be the only one having this issue, I did spend atleast £200 on various different MHL adapters and even got the HTC Media link, the media link worked but does not mirror the phone screen.
Any suggestions before I reluctantly put the HTC on ebay?

Sounds like defective hardware, particularly if you can't find other reports of this issue online. Try returning the phone or having it serviced.

Anyone?
Guess not then!
I bought a HTC Desire 626 from someone And I didn't realise the phone is suppose to have a small sim tray/adapter to hold the sim card. I looked everywhere online and no luck. Where could I find one? When I insert the nano it's too small without the tray and micro sim is too big for it. Thanks.
BUMP
Got ur answer
Call HTC they'll send u a new one....
NO CHARGE

I had the same problem and couldn't find one anywhere so I bought another HTC Desire 626 from Best Buy, took out the sim tray, and then returned the phone. And before you think I'm a huge asshole, it comes with a backup sim card tray that I left in the box.
I just went through this with HTC. My phone... errr... exploded... And they sent me a replacement. They did not include a sim tray. I called them yesterday and its already on its way here

USE A CUT Micro
Probably already figured out the issue but to add my two cents I used a micro simply cut it to fit just snip off a little of the plastic if done right the cut goes right through the imei # text on the card. Well for ATT's anyway it does. I can post pics if needed.. :good:
