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.

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?

[Q] HD7 SIM/SD reader repair question.

I have a question for anyone on the forum who has experience repairing HTC HD7 handsets.
I recently bought a HTC HD7 on ebay with a "storage card error," message thinking I could easily repair it re-seating or replacing the SD card and doing a hard reset. By swapping out parts from another HTC HD7 I had, I was able to diagnose the problem as a faulty SD card reader. The SPL bootloader would read "SD SANDISK 15193MB" when the working reader was connected, and "SD NONE" when the defective reader was connected using the same card. The SIM card reader worked in both cases.
I ordered a SIM/SD reader assembly replacement from an ebay seller, I installed it, and it acted just as the defective reader I already had... SIM works, SD card doesn't. I got a replacement from the same seller, and it acts exactly the same.
Just wondering if I'm overlooking something, or if it's possible I got two SIM/SD reader assemblies where the SD card reader is the defective component on both.
The reader was sold as for the HTC HD7 T9292 (mine is the T-Mobile US version.) There is a slight difference in the labeling. The replacements had extra text "myd" on them, and had a number 1045 on them instead of the original 1041.

have you tested the sd? all that you have written sounds like a defective sd, have you tried another sandisk on it? even a 2GB would do... also do you have a nokia E series to format and recovery the microsd? I use a E63 to recover the miscrosd used on wp, and test them on windows...

Your bootloader version needs to be 5.xx or higher

I have tested it with a couple different SD cards. As I said, it works with my other SIM/SD reader assembly that I swapped out from another working HD7, it just doesn't work with the replacement part ones I ordered.

Can you explain this? I'm using the latest deepshining ROM on this phone, so the bootloader has never been above version 3.1.2250. I'm willing to go stock WP7.8 with the version 5.xx bootloader if you think it will help the situation, but I did get the SD card to work under HSPL 3.1.2250 and a swapped-out SIM/SD reader assembly. At this point I'm just considering buying a horrible condition HD7 to swap out the SIM/SD reader assembly, since the replacement part ones I ordered don't seem to work.

The bootloader thing is BS, I have had 4 different bootloader on both of my devices: 1.x, 3.x, 4.x and 5.x; , I stayed with the 3.x, for the custom roms...
Now, if you have tested the reader from another HD7 and works fine, then the part you bought is damaged...
From where you bought that part?
You must buy again because the "replacement" is damaged (DOA)...
Regards

The problem is, I bought one, found it not to be working, and asked the seller for a replacement, which they sent for free. When I found the second one not to be working, I began to assume the problem was with me... that I was overlooking some logical thing that was keeping the part from working correctly. While I understand it's possible I may have received two defective parts, I hate to ask the seller for a third one, when it's possible I really don't know what I'm doing
This was the item
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151015786511
Anyway, I ordered a cracked-screen HD7 for cheap which I'm going to scrap for parts. Hopefully that one will work.

have you tested the replacements on the working phone? the good one? I assume: YES.
If the the answer is that, you knock me out! Just my 2 cents: I have the T-Mobile HD7, but that bastard can't work with 850 and 900 MHz GSM networks, only 1900 and (possibly) 1800MHz, it keeps resetting or freezing!!!
I thought that it was the microSD, but no it wasn't, so it's the radio card(the shielded one)
Some time you receive a rotten egg
like what happened to me...
Hope you figure out the solution... Regards.

[Q] Sony Xperia Z Micro SIM Card Adapter

Hi
I just got a Sony Xperia Z, it is working pretty good but unfortunately I lost the Micro SIM Card adapter that comes with the phone. There's no Sony local service in my country, so I was wondering where can I get one, I found some in amazon but I'm not sure if they're going to work or not.
Thanks

Do you mean the little tray you put the sim inside before you insert it into the phone? Try eBay. If that doesn't work, try to locate a 3d printer in your home town. You'd be surprised what they can make, especially if you find the exact specifications for the tray.

hello her u are

emm,u can try iphone or other phone model too,.maybe need small trim cut

HTC ONE Sim problem?

Hey XDA, I was wondering if any of you guys still experience the problem where the sim does not come in contact with the pins inside the phone. I have tried the tape fix a few times with a few different sims (that all work on my s4) but no good. I was wondering if anyone has any good fixes before I have to send it out to HTC. Also, if anyone has sent their phone to HTC, how much does it cost? Thanks

I had this problem on my HTC One, the sim usually worked but sometimes the phone said "no sim card inserted", suggesting there wasn't a proper contact between the phone and sim. I tried the tape method too but it didn't work. Eventually I sent the phone back to the retailer I purchased it from and I received a replacement, as it was under warranty and was not accidentally damaged.
HTC shouldn't charge for this if the phone is undamaged, they usually provide a 1 year warranty. They should either repair the phone or give you a replacement. Try calling them and see what they say.

Yeah i just called htc. I wanted to know how much they charge for the repair (im not under warranty anymore).

Does anyone know any possible fixes that work that doesn't require me to send it back to HTC or my carrier? Would buying a new sim tray, switching to a nano sim and using a nano to micro adapter, updating software, etc? Still stuck on this. Any help would be appreciated.

I was getting the no SIM error intermittently. I tried the "add tape to SIM" method, which seemed to work for a while. I think I added three layers of tape over time, but the error kept coming back.
I understand that you've tried other SIM cards that you have available, but in my case, getting a new SIM card fixed the problem. I have not seen the error since I replaced it about three weeks ago. :good:

Yeah I tried a few, but I think i will try using a nano sim with an adapter to see if it works out. Thanks.

[Q] SGS i9000 sim tray and network issues

Hey folks,
I have a small issue with my SGS i9000 GT which I bought in 2011. I have a nano sim which I use in my HTC one M8 and I use a sim adapter to use the same sim in my SGS. Recently I was stupid enough to just put the adapter void of the sim into SGS sim tray and while pulling it out, I damaged the sim tray. I think the 2 little forks out of 3 were uprooted. :crying:
I took it a small repair shop nearby and try to get the sim tray changed. Now it detects the sim but it shows no service. I tried it with couple of other small shops and they say that the IC needs to be changed. Has anyone experienced something like this? I run a Mackay rom, will factory reset or flashing again help if it's a network / software issue. Any light in this regard would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I also "almost" made the same mistake.. Your most likely gonna have to replace whatever board to fix your sun tray. You've most likely pulled the pins free of the board. Maybe a new sim tray and someone who is really good at soldering can fix this. maybe...
doubt very much it is software as it was working before you did this. But it's worth a try re-flashing. In my opinion your going to need to replace the board with the memory chips attached, if I remember right from when I've dismantled my S1.
I would find a dirt cheap phone on eBay with a broken screen and pull the board with tray from that and put it in yours. Doing so with also mean your going to need to backup your data as you'll have new internal memory.
It's not too difficult to do this yourself, lots of good YouTube videos. Also what I've had to do in the past when I fried my internal memory.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Good luck!

I see this as a DIY opportunity :laugh: I will try to reflash the phone and if it doesn't work then I'll DIY the IC myself. I will update the progress here. Thank you for your valuable opinion.
Cheers!
