So i received my new Infuse just today and while removing the SIM card, the two pins out of the three inside, under the housing (just outside i can see 6 pins), has to be broken / bent. It had come out of the housing on the other side (where 6 pins can be seen).
In order to put them back in place, i had to use a tweezer to bend the housing bit up so i can push those 2 pins back in place.
After this inserted my non AT&T SIM card and unlocked the phone. Then removed the SIM card and tried another SIM and it said there is no SIM.
Again i put my old SIM which worked and for that too it said there is no SIM.
I think the damage is done and i am so so angry on myself
Is there absolutely any hope left for me ?
Is this thing repairable ??
The small pin has come out so yes the SIM slot is officially bust now.
What hope do i have ??
Hi. I used a sim adapter with a mini sim card from another phone for some testing. The adapter was so cheaply made, that it broke inside the reader while i was pulling it out.
The card is OK but now the phone cannot read any sim card. I removed the paper sticker from the top of the reader and it looks like one pin is missing or bend. Does the top metal part of the reader come off? Is this part available anywhere? Thanks.
I removed the sim card reader and 3 pins are broken. I think by the looks this one for Blackberry is the same. If not i have to locate a broken XT720 to swap the upper boards that hold the card readers.
Phone is back in service. I didn't buy the SIM card reader, instead i got a broken XT720 for cheap from Ebay, replaced the small Sim-micro Sd card reader board and SIM was recognized. Plus i got some spare parts now just in case.
Hello all
I recieved my new iOCEAN X7 Elite from China today.
I went to the shop to buy a SIM card and was given the wrong card (Nano SIM). When I went back to the shop they gave me an adapter to make it into either a Micro SIM or a standard SIM. The adapter broke my Micro SIM slot. One of the pins has snapped off and is inside the phone case somewhere (it rattles if I shake it but won't fall out). It also damaged my standard SIM slot by bending a pin, but I have pushed it back into place and although it's not how it was originally it still functions.
I've looked online at aliexpress, taobao, ebay, and other sites for a replacement SIM card reader/slot for this phone. All I've found are replacements for the popular Samsung/Nokia/iPhone phones and nothing for my phone.
Does anyone know a replacement part that is compatible with my phone? I can live without the Micro SIM slot to be honest but it would be useful to use two SIMs, and just the idea that I received this phone today and a major function is not working within a few hours, is not good.
Hello,
I had bought a new sim card & had it cut into a micro sim from standard size.
When I inserted in the sim 1 slot, it didn't fit in properly. There was no spring action that I could feel & it got stuck. So removed it with a small plucking tool. In the process the gold plated bottom of the slot got distorted.
Is it repairable or have I lost that sim slot forever?
Thanks

I took it to a service center & they repaired it for free, as my mobile was in the warranty period.
I suggest you do the same, or use the other sim slot by making it a single sim mobile.
A genius idea!
Someone found S7E indeed can read Dual SIM with SdCard running at the same time.
So simply peek off the golden part of the SIM and stick it to a SdCard, then put it together with another SIM onto the tray. Magic happens! :good:
Is there any gladiator brave enough to try?
If this works, if definitely will buy a S7E!!!

Can you tell us More? I'm waiting for my SD card to arrive and do this. I already practised on a broken sim card and I could fit it into my phone and out
It works on my S7E bought in Hong Kong. A bit tight pushing the tray back into the phone as it does add a tiny bit of thickness to the SD card. In fact so snugged that I haven't got the guts to take the tray out again!

Thanks for the feedback. I actually tested a broken SD card and sim card. I used a hand file to smooth the edges and it worked very well. I'm ready to go now.
tested working on S7 Edge Singapore. 1 Main SIM and roaming sim with microsd card.
I wonder if any brave user from this thread tried to eject again the sim tray with the microsd/sim2 mod?
tried it once since i put a wrong sim card on SIM 1. a bit tight, but after it pull out using the sim tray pin, i just pull it carefully. I just remember how my sim tray was stucked on my htc one x because of the microsim i cute with a little thicker than newer sim card. cannot be pushed by the sim tray pin anymore since the button inside is stucked.
I just tried to use 2 SIM card with a brand new evo+ 64gb SD card on my s7 edge dual today, I burned my 2nd SIM card and took out the chip from the sim card, glued the chip on the back of the sd card that I have sanded down. THE RESULT WAS DISASTROUS. I ENDED UP WITH A WRECKED SD CARD AND AN USELESS SIM CARD = 40 bucks down the drain :crying::crying:

why the FFF would you do that? burned the Sim card? you already lost that. Sanded down the SD card? you broke that too.
you should not slim down the SD card AT ALL. the upper layer of the SD card is just a paint on the board.
you should cut out the SiM card carefully and don't damage the small part in the back covered by a drop of glue. then slim down that drop of glue carefully and stop before you hit the small board inside.
then carefully cut the side a little before gluing it to the SD card. then try to smooth out the corners and sides VERY carefully to make sure while pushing in and pulling out it won't stock somewhere.

I found this tutorial video on YouTube and was going through with it step by step. However it suggested to use an sandpapaer for thinning down the sdcard i didnt have that so i used the filer of the back of a nail clipper instead :crying: anyways I don't recommend for folks to try it unless you've got some spares sdcards and SIM cards lying around.

i did this successfully without burning or heating the sim card. what i did is just trim down the side of the sim card until the gold portion remains and until there is a little separation gap is seen from the gold module to the plastic. i removed the plastic part by a very thin cutter on the edges until i can fully pull it out on the plastic. removed the dried glue from the sim chip and taped it on my microsd card.
i didn't use also a glue to do this. I just used a very thin double sided tape. put small portion of tape on 2 sides of the sim only. i didn't put the tape on the middle chip area so that the thickness still minimized.
even though i'm waiting for my 200GB micro SD card, i just told my brother how to do it, and he successfully did it. 128GB SD card and 2 Sim cards are working on his phone now.
the only thing with running dual sim, 1 sim only runs in 2g... not many carriers support 2g anymore.. lolol
it's only for s7 edge dual sim variant, or work fine in single sim also?
i want to do in my g935f

You need a dual sim phone.
did not work
my uncle just returned from uae with the dual sim version s7 edge....I myself have a uk model s7 edge, using his sim adaptor with the 2 sims I put it into my uk s7 edge did not work!
any suggestions

I think u will need a dual sim phone to be able to use two sims.

It's not just the sim tray that is different. The electronics inside the phone to read 2 sims are only present in the dual sim versions.
Question though, have people successfully pulled out this modded sim tray without damaging the cards or phone?

Swap phones with your uncle and hope he doesn't notice.

The electronics are identical, there's a dual sim reader in a single sim phone, problem is you only get one imei.

Tried it once. because the first time I inserted the modded microsd, i inserted also a wrong sim on sim 1. I have no choice but to pull it out. the microsd didnt and sim tray didnt break. but it is a little more tighter than without the modded microsd card. I think it will depend on the thickness of the microsd and how you glued the sim chip to it. if you glued it too many, it might be a little thicker.
Just be careful not to push the sim tray pin to the hole too hard. it might be stuck and the tray cannot be pulled out anymore. tried it on my htc one x before. I cut a old sim to microsim. since it was an old sim, it is a little thicker than the newer microsim. i pushed the sim tray pin to the hole too hard and it got stuck. good thing i can pull the sim tray by fingernail. but this will not happen on once it will be stucked on s7 as the top portion of the phone is flat and cannot put anything to pull it out.
