My friend has Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and she is living in KSA (Saudi Arabia). Somehow she inserted SD card in sim card slot. The card stuck in the sim card slot. She gave the tab for repairing to the shop where she bought it. They removed the SD card from sim card slot and called her that the slot is damaged and they have to buy new slot which is not available alone. They have to buy the motherboard in 900 Saudi Riyal(which is very costly). She refused to change the card slot. Now my question is, is there any other cheap way to repair the sim card slot. She need to use 3G sim?
Well if your friend has god soldering skills then she can just simply take the tab apart and seek out the damaged part and proceed to fixing it. Its not that complicated if u know what your doing. I've soldered my damaged sum card slot on an old s2 before and it worked perfectly. Good luck

And another thithing 900 Riyals is most likely gonna be a used mother board. They will take your old one and fix it and resell. And the cycle goes on. I know exactly how these guys work especially if you're from Jeddah and this is share3 flysteen that we are talking about.

i think you should just find someone with a good soldering skill and some knowledge in dissembling the tab. changing the whole board because of a damaged slot seems more like the shop is just trying to rip you off.

Hi,
I'm considering to buy the Samsung galaxy s6. today I have the s2. I have a big problem with the s2 - I don't have enough space to update and install applications.
my question is if I want to avoid this problem with the s6, do I have to buy the 64gb version, or will the 32gb version would be enough? I don't need much space for pictures, songs etc.
thx
Ultimately, it's a judgement call only you can make. If you satisfied with the apps you are using and don't anticipate adding a lot of new ones, then you just need a little more storage say 4-8GB. But bear in mind that the GS6 doesn't allow you to add an SD card so you are stuck with what you choose. FYI - T-Mobile is having a special 64GB for the 32GB price but that only works if T-Mobile has good coverage and you're willing to switch if necessary
Start by determining how much storage you are using on your S2. Include both internal and any SD card. Also, newer apps tend to be a little bigger. If you are using 16GB now then I think 32GB would be fine. If you are over 24GB then probably opt for 64GB. Go to Settings -> Storage to get info.
I bought a 4.7 Idol 3 and just now am seeing comments about the dual-sim variant lacking expandable storage. I've been looking for more info and all spec websites (including from my country) mention it should have a MicroSD slot.
Some dual-sim phones' tray also doubles a card reader, so you can choose whether to have expandable storage or dual sim capabilities. I've been wondering if the same is true for the Idol 3.
Which is true?
The model I'm getting is 6039J-JAALBRC-1, bought in Brazil.

That's true, either 2 sim-cards or sim+micro sd

I don't think so...
The dual-sim slots arent cut out for the MicroSD cards,and even the software of the stock rom for the dual sim variant(in my case the Idol 3 6045K) doesnt show any ability to recognise an SD card.

Yeah,that is what I just said.
The dual sim variant doesn't support MicroSD cards.
But it does have 32GB of storage,while the single-sim ones have 16GB.
When I got this device,I kinda hoped its second sim slot would act as a MicroSD card slot (like in Meizu M2 Note),but I am pretty satisfied with Cloud storage too.

I don't know about 5.5 model, but 4.7 has either 8 or 16 gb of internal memory

That's too bad. Lack of MicroSD suppport would be a deal breaker if I saw it earlier, but I'm going to keep the Idol 3 considering I paid such a low price for it. Hopefully I'll get used to the available ~10 GB it comes with.
Thanks for making that clear.
I recently purchased the SM-930FD but it seems that model does not currently support Samsung Pay at least not here in the USA, is there anything I can do to get it working?

You can use Android Pay either!
Yes Android Pay works
Won't it be OK to flash the firmware of the country where it's supported?

Hello,
could you please help me to find what is the difference between 930FD (supposed to be dual sim) whereas 930F is already dual sim ?
It seems there is no single sim version for the Galaxy S7, as 930F has 2 sim slot (SIM2 can accept a SD card: SIM2 or SD card).
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s7-7821.php
"microSD, up to 200 GB (dedicated slot) - single-SIM model
microSD, up to 200 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual-SIM model"
It seems Gsmarena made a mistake, so could you please confirm that 930FD has 2 sim slots plus an additional microsd card slot ?
If you can please add a picture of the dedicated sd card slot (if any), I will really appreciate it. I googled a lot the web, youtube, and can't find any information about the ability to have 2 sims + 1 microsd on the 930FD S7...
Cheers,
Fred
Hi, you cannot have both sim cards and an SD card at the same time, its either 2 sims or a sim +sd card
There is a hack available for having all 3 together but it is quite risky.

Not currently. Samsung Pay is currently only available on carrier branded phones. Samsung is supposed to be rolling out Samsung Pay in certain European countries but there is no ETA on that and it is still unknown if / when Samsung Pay will work on non-carrier branded phones anywhere.

What I've to say is The 930FD is the only dual SIM variant. 930F does not have the hardware for second SIM inside it. You can flash 930F roms to 930FD and both SIM slots would still work. Which means software-wise it's identical and is able to detect if the relevant hardware is in place.
So the second slot on the 930F is only for a microSD card.

If you want a dual SIM Samsung Pay-capable S7, your best bet might be a Singaporean model, where Samsung Pay is launching later this year, sometime in Q2 or H2, can't remember. I can recommend mobyshop.com.sg if you want to purchase, the prices are quite low at around 600 USD for the 930FD, they do international delivery too. Do most of my phone shopping from them, no problems so far.

OK, have look at this (also attached), bottom right of the picture:
http://webtrickz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/wp-1456111785260.jpeg
If I recap: 930F and 930FD are using the same "kind" of double card slot:
- 930F is 1 SIM only and has got a "dedicated" slot for microSD card
- 930FD is having the same SIM1 slot, but slot 2 can be used by either SIM2 or SD card.
Can you please confirm that 930FD is using slot 2 for SIM2 or microSD card, but not both ?
Now I understand GSMarena description:
- microSD, up to 200 GB (dedicated slot) - single-SIM model
- microSD, up to 200 GB (uses SIM 2 slot) - dual-SIM model

Hi Fred,
Yes that's correct. FD uses a hybrid slot i.e. the second slot can be used for either a second SIM card OR a microSD card but not both.
Also you cannot take a FD tray, put 2 SIM cards and put it into an F model and expect the 2nd SIM to work (I think the tray will go in but 2nd SIM won't work since teh hardware is not present on the motherboard.).
Hope this covers your questions.
Regards,
Asanka

According to a report, in South Korea Samsung Pay has been used to process over $850 million worth of transactions.:good:
38 new banks and credit unions are now supported by Samsung Pay.
I was thinking of getting the Samsung s8+ but I got a few question to ask Does it have the Hybid sim slot by put the 2 SIM card where the SD card is?I was plan to get at best buy and does the Samsung s8+ get android 8 yet or still on android 7?
Want to make sure it true it has a Hybrid sim slot because best buy told me it has in the use version.I mean the unlocked Samsung s8+?
It DOES have a Hybrid Slot, so if you use 2 SIM cards, you can't use an SD Card. The Android 8.0 update hasn't arrived officially yet, but it will be released in February 2018.
With the Hybrid Slot can you use 4G and LTE? Thank for the information
