Hi,
just got the european version S6 today in 64GB (New). The package was sealed but the sim ejecting tool was not in the box.
I looked several times and it also did not fall down. Now I tried the iPhone ejecting tool but it force
to open it is too high and I dont wanna break something. There were two stickers
on the box sealing each side of the box so I assume its brand new. I am confused how it
can be missing.
Someone got any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Guys, I know someone had this problem before but I could find any resolution so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas.
I bought an inFuse new off ebay. Unlocked it and have used it with Miui for about 4 months. Wonderful phone. Then did a real stupid thing. I inserted a micro Sim in a holder to test it. It worked but on trying to remove it the Sim slipped out of the holder and the holder must have pulled out one or more of the pins under the metal sheath. Now all I get is No Sim Inserted. I bent back the pins that were bent at the front and I can see 3 which now look OK. The back ones seem to show only one. I'm guessing there should be three.
I checked on line and eBay to see if it is possible to get a replacement module but seems like no. Also every Samsung phone seems to use a different module.
I'm screwed I guess. Anyone had this problem and solved it? Obviously I never bought it through AT&T so I can't try for a warranty repair. Any ideas gratefully accepted.
Thanks
looks like you will be doing sugery get your tools out and a magnifying glass!!
I had the same issue, and carefully bent the pins up like --/ then pushed my sim against the pins and into the holder so that it bent them back and made good contact with my sim. This held for a while until I tried to put a different sim in and then it no longer was making good contact. Jammed a tiny piece of paper behind my sim and it held until my replacement came in.
Hope that helps!
Also if anyone ever needs to do a warranty replacement on this issue I suggest you skip all the bull**** about the sim and tell them the damn thing wont boot. I went through so many ATT warranty morons and they always blame the sim card before defaulting to "its damaged and we cant cover it". Brick it!
Did u register the phone on Samsung.com ? It happen to me also that same stupid thing so I send it back to samsung and they fix it for free of course I was whit out a phone for like 2 weeks since I didn't have a back up phone lol
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Do any of the other Samsung phones have this issue?
Guys, thanks for the replys. Yea back to samsung seems to be the only answer. I didn't rgister it but Ill try to do it now.
Not sure if other Samsung phones have this problem. I've looked at a bunch of replacement sim holders for other Samsungs and they all seem to be a better construction. The metal cover is much smaller and shows both rows of contacts. Also the pins look sturdier and look like it would be darn hard for them to get "picked up" but the sim adapter. The sim holder in the inFuse looks like a pretty poor design.
Did you buy it new? If you got it used maybe att will still swap it out. The warranty transfers.
Guys,
just an update on the broken sim card holder. Well unlike most other Samsung phones, the simcard holder is not a separate component on the infuse. Had the infuse been a Galaxy S etc then 10 bucks for a new bit and bingo, we are away. The infuse has everything surface mounted to one motherboard. In the end I bought a broken screen infuse and just did a heart transplant. I was traveling overseas when I bust the card holder and Samsung in 2 countries couldn't fix it because they didn't have the bits as the phone wasn't sold in those countries. In the end rather than return the phone to Samsung in the US and "lose" it for Lord knows how long I just bought a scrapper off ebay. Took me about 30 minutes to do the swop and unlock the new board.
Working like a dream again and I must say I missed it........
Happened to me a while back and I made a thread on it. was able to just swap it out at a warranty center
Hello.
I purchased a brand new Infuse from At&t when it came out, upgraded to a Note 2 and sold the Infuse on ebay. Then after a few days the buyer opened a claim saying it didn't read the sim card and I was forced to accept a return. When I got the cellphone back I noticed the metal plate on top of the reader was damaged and also 3 of the 6 little pins were missing (the far back ones). I suppose he damaged the reader by inserting a micro-sim adapter. By the way his ebay username is dwanderson1 BEWARE!
Anyway... now thanks to stupid ebay (and the motherf****r who broke it) i'm stuck with an expensive kind of "Galaxy player". This happened a week before moving overseas. Now I live in Lima-Peru and I have no idea where to get it fixed as I either find some sketchy repair centers or very modern expensive ones. Is the reader easy to replace? any suggestions?
Many thanks

Hello together,
someone here know's where i can get a new mainboard for my One S. The SimSlot is broken so its much easier to change the complete board.
Some ideas ?
Regards
I had mine replaced and cost me $75 with no warranty. It take a very good soldering skills to do that job. It was working fine for about 3 weeks and then "no sim" started showing back. Just put 3 layers of clear tape on back of sim and pushed in. It works for month now with no more problems. I know that is no "high tech" and cheap, but did not wanted to spend any more on this phone.
Ah ok ... i got a phone from a friend and see that two of six pins in the Sim Slot were broken.
So i will try to put a new slot on it, but if this don't works i need an alternative.
I got mine from ebay for $6, but the installation cost me $75. Not many people will take on that job.
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.
So hmm i finally decided to use moto g as my main phone.
Got the nano --> microsim adaptor from a local store.
Inserted the sim. Sim doesnt get detected. Tried removing the sim. STUCK!. I think i broke the simreader pins without even actually using a phone.
I just contacted the motorola people.Too bad my phone is bought from usa and im in india till July. Anyone here has a guide on how to change the sim slot?!? I managed to remove the damn adaptor but i broke the pins so i guess i m screwed.
Same here. I'm going to buy a replacement for the SIM tray off ebay, and have it replaced (guys in my local store said it would cost $13, but another store asked for $20, so the prices may vary). I'm in Poland.
Hi, i have the issue with my moto g. I fix the problem manually using a little piece of metal to make sure that the pin I broke touch the Sim. But that's was my case, I recommend you to go in a technical service, they can put a new sim reader and this cost about 20$.
Motorola already realized that this is a serious problem, because in my Moto G 4G with LTE User Guide they clearly mention on 4th page: "Caution: Make sure you use the correct sized SIM card, and don’t use adapters with it."
How did you do it

Screwed up my MG2013 sim1 with the adaptor, Moto warranty is over and they said no for repair
Tried to find a way out and used a screwdriver to raise the points but the gold points dont read the Sim any which way
I will probably look for a local shop who can replace the reader I guess

Anybody in here actually did this repair? I noticed there are differences between the new tray and my old one.
