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.

Just found out our employer is about to upgrade our company cell phones (they are switching from the "sim-less" Verizon i4) to the TMobile i5C and now I'm beginning to wonder (since I prefer Android) will I be able to transfer the nano-sim card from my new TMobile i5C over to my personal (currently mothballed/inactive) TMobile Samsung Galaxy S4??? (...with a nano-to-micro-sim card adapter of course!).
Also (unlike the Verizon based i4) do all TMobile i5C's come with a removable nano-sim or is there a sim-less/fixed-sim version of the TM i5C as well???
(btw... if this post fits better in another area of the forums, please let me know!)

The 5C will have a nano SIM. All you'll need is an adapter to put it in your S4. It should work just fine.
Hello,
I am thinking about buying a €470 Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB Black Sapphire SM-G920F without simlock for my wife.
She is used to her S3 for years. The big negative with the S6 is that it has no sd card slot and dual sim..
The only different phone which she would maybe consider is a chinese phone
because of extra sd card storage and dual sim possibility.
What would you advise me to get?
Should I wait for more price cuts?
Is it currently easy to root it without tripping kn0x?
thanks a lot

There is a dual sim variant available.
Yes it is easy to root but not without tripping knox on latest firmware.

Here S6 duos (g920fd) for a bit more. Opposite to older galaxies Sx, S6 at this moment really it is not necessary to root if you don't mind some advertisement and you install a clean stock firmware as Kenia (AFR). I was also worried because sd card, but with a good management for the internal memory and this microusb memory http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kingston-32...276886?hash=item5d5a51ec56:g:KkIAAOSwl9BWJhrv or this card reader http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZRXMMZQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00 on your key chain problem solved...
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.
Hi folks,
Sorry for the dumb question but my last new phone was my Sammy S10 awhile back (still using) and I wanted to know if I need to run to a tmobile store once my grey z flip 3 arrives to get a new sim card? My S10 is 4GLTE and this flip 3 will be 5g (unlocked version via samsung website).
Thank you!
As long as it's a micro SIM (slightly smaller than a micro sd), you're fine.
