unusable xda exec... please point me in right direction - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories

just baught an xda exec from a seller in hong kong about a month ago off ebay$750 but brand new-bad idea?... (1) anyhow the sim card holder under the battery is missing, i never got one. can anyone please inform me how to get a new one? cant find anywhere! (2) i borrowed my friends sim card slot/holder (need to give back) and then when i put my sim card in the device says "invalid or missing sim card". it works eventually after 20min of playing with the sim card slot. i have read on here that others have had the same problem and they bring the device to the manufac. to have the sim card pins readjusted which made it work fine. however i live in the united states (no o2 manufac.) and i cant get ahold of the company. the device still has the warranty seal sticker so it should be fixable/no internal problems. also when i contact the seller on what i should do there is never a response. ive tried at least 15times. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME [email protected] OR POST thanks all.

i live in ny...i think ur screwed my dude...and y did u pay so much....this **** aint worth no where near 750, smh

Magic Sim
For cloning sim cards, u need to use a magic sim - one in which u can store upto 16 mobile numbers! it comes with all the required software and sim reader (usb), etc.
i use it on my O2 and it works perfetcly fine!
i have one brand new one lying with me in its unopened sealed packing which i got for my friend who later didnt need it....

Anybody in UK dont bother, I bought one and destroyed every sim trying to crack the Ki, if you have a very old Orange sim it might work but the rest you can forget as far as I know.

King of Doublecard SIM adapter

How many people on here have the king of doublecard twin sim adapter off ebay and how are you getting on with them?
Does the battery still fit ok?
Mine arrived today & I fitted it in a matter of a couple of minutes - the battery still fits, the two SIMs lie flat no problem.
I've also splashed out on the WIVIT SIM Status switching software
I have the one where you have to cut the sims, working very well. Done quite a few for friends, cant go wrong. Try it, no need to pay for a switcher, it has an stk app that does that
king of doublecard working great for me.
THANKS GUYS was looking forsomething like this, just orded mine
***********************
just an after-tought, d u rekon there will ever be a device that will let you run 2 sim cards at the same time? YEH I KNOW whishfull thinking? lol

can you explain further ...with pics would be nice
thanks
anyone got a link to this on ebay? cant find it anywhere!
I did a post somewhere on the board showing you ebay links and methods.
I've got one without the stk app, so you have to go to flight mode off, then on, to switch, but cutting the sim cards, although risky, can be done successfully, as I've done it with an O2 contract and orange PAYG.

did people actually slice up their SIMs ??? :shock:
Hi guys go mine and it works atreat now , bought it from ebay
Not going to lie to you, the product is made from poor :twisted: quality but from £3. I get my money worth, and it does the job the ways i can switch are either by doing a soft rest or by puting the phone into flightmode and then back to normal phone mode, , iv addedsomepics for your benifit. :arrow:
Guys, I've got a magician and I sliced and diced my cards fine.
Had troubles getting the Magician to register the sims, but that was because of it not providing enough pressure on the back of the SIM (stick some paper into the metal sleave to correct this).
This is the ebay link for the one I bought:
Look for "UNIVERSAL DUAL SIM **SHIPPED FROM THE UK**". I cost me about £3. The card is fine, the guy was ok, but shipping was steep from London (ie P&P is hiked up, but overall can't complain).
It works, but there is another one out with an "STK" menu built in to switch cards by going into the SimToolKit program. However, it's easy enough to go to flight mode and back quickly enough to switch. I read that this one drains battery faster. No comment on that. It worked for me.
So: SLICING DOES WORK. But, do it carefully. I've posted about 10 times on this - do it carefully, ensure you remove the transparent guide sticker after the cutting, and check it in a nokia or another phone before putting it in the Magician, to convince yourself you've done the slicing correctly
That ebay guy will also "stamp cut" the cards for you for free if you post them to him.
Good luck!
No, it's not possible to have two sims working simultaneously. Best we can hope for is 2 lines per sim, like Orange's Line2 service.
There are some cards that are 16in1 card copiers etc. these don't work in the UK, and will fubar your SIM when trying to crack the encryption. Be warned

There was a phone once, sometime in 2000 I think, it was a benefon dual band (1800/900) that worked in europe. That phone had two SIM slots. Too bad they did not make more

2sims working at once in a pda,, i know mate but let me keep on hoping lol
what about the data settings then?
sounds great, I am tempted to go for it, but do you have to re-enter the GPRS settings each time you switch from a sim card to another? Since say, O2 and orange don't use the same proxy servers to connect to the web via GPRS, I guess the right proxy details must be entered after each switch. Am I wrong? Can you connect to O2 mobile web using your o2 sim card, then switch to your orange sim and connect to orange world without making any change to the connections details?
Cheers
I think you will have to reenter the details each time.
However, if you're in the UK, there are cabs available on the board, or from Buymobilephones.net, with all the settings in one file.
So, switch to o2, click the cab and you're running. And likewise with Orange etc.
V
You can create all different accounts in the network section and just choose the right one you want to use. I have one SIM now, but several accounts for GPRS usage, MMS, dial-up connections etc. I just select the one I want to use in Settings-Connections-Advanced-Select Networks. The only problems that could exist are with sms and voice mail accounts, but I think these are stored in the network in combination with your sim card, so these should be ok as well.
that's great -thanks

I am seriously considering getting a king of double card for my SX66.
Can I still use the apps on my SIM (the ones accessed through "SIM Toolkit" or will I lose that ability once I use KODC ?

o2 xda orbit

I just purchased myself a used orbit off of Ebay. Its in cracking condition but the problem I have is my sim card just doesn't work.
I have a o2 pay and go sim card and when i put it in and start the phone it comes up saying 'invalid or missing sim'.
The sim is correctly inserted and I have tried 2 other working o2 sims, same problem.
Do i need to unlock it (http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php), buy a pay monthly sim card or what?
Also, I wanna upgrade to wm6 using the o2 webpage update link, if unlocking is what i need to do. Does it matter if I unlock before upgrading or vice~versa.
Hopefully ill get this decent piece of kit up and running soon
Are you sure you've inserted the SIM card the correct way around?
Inserted with gold contacts aligned with the reading pins on the Orbit
I am positive it is the right way round, I have tried 3 cards, all working in other devices, two of which are brand new cards.
Ive also tried placing a bit of paper behind the sim card cradle to make sure it has a tight contact.
I also tried flashing to wm6 and all it said was no sim inserted, so ive flashed back to wm5 and im back to the same old invalid sim message.
Maybe that's why the vendor sold it?
I'd considering reporting it as a dodgy auction personally
So you recon I shouldn't bother wasting £20 using imei-check to try and unlock then. Just try and get my money back/report a dodgy auction.
yes

you don't need to pay IMEI check either, search these forums and there's a free, working alternative one of the mods came up with...

Is that the one? Seems to be all I can find. Plus having a look through there doesnt seem to be anyone saying it worked on there artemis, just a lot of people asking will it and getting no reply.
If you could point me in the direction if thats not it cos I really think ive gone blind.....
Hi,
I don't know if this helps, but I had the same problem about two months ago.
Did everything you did, about once in every 8 reboots, it would work for a couple of minutes, then that message again.
I sent it off for repair, they changed the Sim reader, and an internal wiring loom connector thingy.
Now it works!
Regards,
Paul
I would check the phone isn't blocked by the network
http://www.checkmend.org/
allows you to check the IMEI
i too also had an xda orbit with this problem, had to send it back under warranty, took them 37 days, but complained like fook and managed to get £50 off them plus a brand new o2 stellar (result)
but yeah nothing worked to repair it.
I ended up going through paypal and getting my money back eventually, the guy gave me every penny back. It was a bust phone it turns out.
Yay

[Q] How to Unlocked SHARP Softbank SH934

Dear all
I bought a phone which is SHARP SOFTBANK SH934 from Japan. The problem is when i bring back to my country - Malaysia. I notice that this phone cannot detect the network right after i changed to the local SIM card.
I have search through the websites and videos. Most of them are use another sim card with a chip on it that you attach to your GSM sim card and insert into the phone. It's called either a 'Hypersim' or a 'Turbosim'. But this thing is costly.
Does anyone know the another way to settle this problem?
Very much appreciate!!
does anyone know?
hope to get help deeply..

Problems with new SIM card LG G3

Hi there,
I am a so far satisfied owner of a G3 but since 10 days I have been having an issue with my G3 and I wanted to ask around if someone here has an idea or some thought that could help.
My situation is the following:
About 2 weeks ago I switched my mobile service provider. When my new SIM card from my new provider arrived I tried the SIM card in my G3 but there was just the massage "no sim card found" and no possibility to type in your PIN. So I thought maybe I got a defective SIM card, it happens. I ordered a new one but the problem remained with the new card in my G3 aswell, still no pssibility to type in my PIN. So I tried troubleshooting and started trying the SIM cards in diffrent phones. In other phones the SIM card from the new provider worked perfectly and I was able to type in my PIN like it should be. When I tried putting other SIM cards in my G3 (from my Mom, Dad etc. and also from different providers) none of them worked in my G3. Even my sisters SIM card from the same new provider AND she has also a G3. So far it seems that the my G3s SIM card reader is broken.
The weird thing is that when I put in my G3 my old SIM card from the old provider the prompt to type in my PIN appears as normal as ever. If I type in my PIN the phone accepts the PIN normally. There is just no reception which is normal because I am not with my old provider anymore. I also have to add that the phone appears not to have SIM lock. I bought it from a private seller but he bought the G3 with a vodafone contract and I was with O2 at that time and the phone worked perfectly. Just until I switched from O2 to Congstar (Telekom) the problem began.
So I thought I just send it back to LG because I still have warranty on the device. The phone is rooted so I need to admit that it was not that clever to send the phone in without rolling back the rooting. Today I got a letter from the repair service from LG with an estimate of cost which means no surprise, no warranty for me. You guess right, the reason is the rooting they write they need to change the whole mainboard. For me this sound like plain bull**** because on the document they send it seems like the first thing they check is a rooting and if the device is rooted then thats the cause. But ok it was pretty stupid from me not to unroot it, I know.
Now I wanted to ask you if someone had a similar problem with their G3 or has an idea what the cause could be. Like mentioned above with my old SIM card the phone worked normally. Just the new cards and all other cards, even another O2 card did not work. Is it possible that just one and only one SIM cards gets accepted from the phone?
Sorry for the long post. I am thankful for any advice.
Best regards,
Patrick
I'll have my phone back tomorrow. If someone still has an idea I would be very thankful about some thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks!

It seems your phone is Sim locked.
You need to find the unlocking code that you need to put in the hidden menu.
Google for LG G3 Sim unlock.
Sent from my phone
Hi,
thanks for your reply! Iam not sure it is because of sim lock- Because the phone came with a vodafone contract but when I bought it I was with O2. And with my old sim card from O2 the phone worked perfectly. Weird is that when I put in a different O2 sim card the pin prompt also did not appear. Same with any other sim card ...
Thanks,
Patrick
Or did maybe someone have a similar experience with a different phone?
Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk
Hi again,
I tried some more things but still nothing helped.
The things I tried were:
- unrooting the phone and factory reset
- reflash radios
- try completely diffrent rom (CM)
Still I have no idea what the cause could be. Maybe the sim card reader is just broken. Just weird that it reads my deactivated sim card.
I would really appreciate it if someone has an idea or some similar experience..
Thanks!
You can buy an unlock code for 3.5-4€ , works for any LG G3 variant
Try it
Ok, thanks! I will try it!
So I just looked at what I have to do and tried the combination 2945#*855# to see where I have to type in the code. The thing is when I choose any one of the appearing options like netlock etc. the phone says "this phone is permanently locked" and there is no possibility to type in any code...
How the hell is my phone completely locked...
