Hey everyone, had some questions about parts for the S2 LTE (I have the Rogers version... I727R)
I have one here that originally had some issues with reading SIM cards and would always show up as "Unknown Device" when hooked up via USB. My brother found parts for it on eBay and replaced both the SIM card reader and the USB port. Now it sounds like he may have gotten Galaxy S2 parts as opposed to Galaxy S2 LTE parts. Is there a difference?
Also is it possible to replace the radios on these phones in a similar manner?
i an planning to buy a asus tf300 and im just wondering if a usb to sim card reader then sim card will work....(((((im a noobie))
hi dude!!! did you got any answer for your question??? i also want to connect usb sim card reader to my phone!
hi,
i recently bought a magic-sim dual adapter but having trouble installing. The problem is with the sim that goes into the phone
when inserted, the other sim is on the inside of the tray (towards phone)
this is it http://www.magic-sim.com/product/id...ICRO_SIM_DUAL_SIM_ADAPTER_for_LG_NEXUS_5.html
any help appreciated
Don't know if this will help, but looking at the picture it seems the flex cable needs to wrap around and under the sim that goes into the phone.
I have a used Mi4 since 3 days.It doesn't detect the micro sim card that I made from my old Mi2s (mini sim) .
it detected only once one other micro sim from an S4 but from then never again.Should I change my mini sim card to a new one micro sim?The man I bought from told me that it was working perfectly.
Same here when i used and nano to micro adapter then i got a new micro sim and it works perfect... This phone dosnt seem to like sim adapters

Same here.
Italy.
Tim italy 128k sim recognized - working
Tim italy sim not recognized
Vodafone italy sim not recognized
3 ITA sim not recognized
the 3 ITA sim was recognized only once before stopped working with a unstable rom that crashed.
Any suggests?
If the SIM card tray is damaged (for example, a piece of plastic is chipped off or a metal plate is deformed), this can be the cause of the problem when the Xiaomi smartphone does not see the SIM card.
I had such a situation on my Mi 3. In the service center they could not find the cause of the problem, I found it myself.
I hope this information will help to somebody.
Hi there, I bought this phone second hand quite some time ago and I actually liked it a lot. But I bought it on the premise that it was dual sim, which it isn't (I got a fair discount for that).
But now I'm wondering if it somehow possible to turn this into dual sim using the micro sd for the second sim card? I tried reselling it, but it's just not that popular here in Germany.
Any help or advice is welcome
Many thanks in advance and sorry if the question has been asked before.

You'll have to buy a dual sim adaptor.

Do you have a link for that?
And does it allow for both sim cards to be active at the same time?

I'm not so sure. Can't post a link as I haven't reached the 10 post limit. Search for magic-sim on Google.

Unfortunately, magic-sim does not allow both sim cards to be online at the same time.

Seems like nobody has chimed in yet to say that a dual sim adaptor will NOT work on this phone. Dual sim adapters are often designed as a flex cable with one end plugging into the normal SIM port, and the other end extending out with 2 SIM card ports. Since this phone does not have a removeable back, it's pretty much impossible to use one of these adapters since this phone has the closed tray design for the SIM card. You would not be able to insert the adapter into the SIM slot and be able to shut the tray into the phone without possibly damaging the flex cable.
However, if the flex cable is extremely thin enough, it might be possible. I've never owned or seen an adapter so I can't say for certain. You have to take into consideration too the Idol 3's SIM/MicroSD tray is designed to have the SIM card go in first, before the MicroSD. So it might be tricky getting the SIM card to stay flat in the tray while you attempt to push it back into the phone due to the cable being bent when closing the tray.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer.
But my original question was meant differently: I wanted to know, if it is possible to change the sim/sd card tray to a sim/sim card tray? And then flash the firmware of the dual sim version and so on.

I dont think so...
Its related to the whole motherboard.
But did you think about trading it with a person which has the 6045K?
If you are both in Europe,there shouldnt be a problem with using the warranty,as you can just send the device to a repair shop.
For example,if you and I were to trade our devices,I could just send it to repairs in my own country,as long as it is in the EU.
So,if my 6045K,bought in Croatia,breaks,you can send it to repairs in an official Alcatel Repair Shop in your own country(but the repair shop must be official,and you must be in EU too)
If you want to know more,feel free to PM me.
