My sim card doesn't pop out when pushing forward on the card, so doesn't have that spring to it. I noticed the kid selling me the phone was trying to put the sim card where the memory card goes. I have to use tweezers to remove the card, this can't be right.

Mine doesn't pop out either neither does sd card. I guess that's the way these are built. Not like the note 2

They redid it to make it tighter.less chance of sim or sd moving
TWEAKED 2.5
Yeah, when putting in my sim and sd card, I didn't notice any spring load thing. It just simply slid in.

Its stupid if you ask me . i had to use a push pin to get mine out
That makes no sense, it's difficult to get the sim card out.

This. I never have to take the sim card out of my phone unless I buy a new phone. Since I'm not fortunate enough to buy a new phone every week, then the sim isn't much of a concern.
However, I am a little bummed about the SD card slot not being spring loaded. I do take that out every so often to transfer transfer things to it. Maybe the USB 3.0 connection will help with that. It might make up for the fact that MTP is so slow.

I thought I was the only one! my sim card just wouldn't come out and the only way I could get it out was to use a threading needle to nudge it out slightly, then slightly "stab" and pull it out. I thought I had a defective device and it only bothered me knowing that if I were to ever sell it, I would have a defective feature to list.
I never take my aim out anyways

It was the same thing with the Note 2. A pencil eraser will side it right out.

It's actually for replacing the S-Pen tip, but if it also helps you take out the SIM card then that's just an added bonus

So I broke my phone in half and I found a way to remove the SD Card from the GN...... and I took apart the top half which has the SIM card and SD card on the same daughter board... does anyone have any ideas on how to get the data off the embedded SD card?
Maybe if I had another GN, took it apart and swapped the SIM / SD card daughter boards would that work? I Just want to get all my dataz off...
And the phone is so destroyed at this point I doubt insurance would take it back eh?
If you look at the bottom left of the circuit board theres a plug connection that allows you to remove the SIM / SD card board..... thoughts? Thx!
How did you break it in half.
I Miss My nexus

Normally I would be flaming right beside u guys for posting common knowledge stuff. However..I have been through 4 different android phones, 2 blackberry phones and one winmo phone...all using sim cards and this is the first time I've heard of cutting up sim cards. Up until the s3 I thought all sim cards were the same size and shape

They even have SIM card cutters. I used to work for Rogers, they're insanely convenient and easy to use.
cutting SIM cards date back to the release of iPhone 4. If you never heard of it, props to you for not give a phuc about iphones.

I dont know if you guys will remember, but when the atrix came out, they were saying our old "3g" sim cards would not work in the "4g"(boy they used that term loosely) devices. If I simply cut my existing sim card and put it in my soon to be delivered red sg3, will it work with lte?
it should, dont see why it wouldnt /\/\

I had never heard of this until this phone either. So, it's perfectly acceptable that you didn't think this was common knowledge. Amazes me how some folks think that just bc not everyone is totally obsessed with their phone that makes them idiots.

One thing I noticed is that if you cut your sim card, you don't have to pay the $36 upgrade fee for AT&T to change your active sim card. (Or at least they haven't hit me up for it yet. I ordererd my phone through amazon).
I did this, and I lost the ability to send mms, had to go get a micro sim.

Hi Everybody I have a white gnex and I switch between my note 2 and this daily. I use a mini Sim to regular Sim adapter with the nexus. Well about 2 days ago I went to use my nexus and I went to take the adapter out the phone. Well it didn't come out. So I applied a little force and it can out. Now it won't read any Sim. I guess the pins came out. Its a gsm version on the phone. It didn't come from the play store. Any help would be appreciated!

Sadly there isn't much we can help. Would recommend you to take it to a authorized service center.
Agreed with previous poster.
Also it is not recommended that you mess with the sim slot this often, those are not constructed with high use swapping in mind as a sd card (bad example) slot is.

Well long story short my girlfriend stuck her nano sim from her iPhone 5 into my phone because her battery was dead and needed to call someone or something... and then in her attempts to get it back out she was shoving pieces of paper up into it. And then she just took the little metal piece off that goes over the top. It broke a few of the little pins off but I bent what was left of them up and the taped my sim in, but I am wanting to have a permanent fix for it so I can switch my sim out at any time if need be without having to tape it on there. Plus if I were to want to trade phones with someone on craigslist I wouldn't want to scam them and say everything was working.. HOW DO I FIX IT?

So your girlfriend broke your phone and you're not making her pay to fix it? Wow, you're a hell of a lot nicer than I would have been in that situation. Definitely let us know how it goes.

Thread cleaned. Reopen.
Yes, let us know how it goes and post pics of the process, if you can.
I also broke my SIM slot (within a few minutes of unboxing the phone) trying to remove a self-cut SIM card. That didn't go so well, so I had to get it repaired.
Sent it to Samsung and got it fixed for free. They did a pretty good job and it was super fast. Took them under a week.
But yeah, I sure wish I had a good tutorial to guide me through it. I could have done it myself and not wait.
If it doesn't go well, now you know you have the Samsung repair option.
I broke my sim tray on my galaxy Nexus by using a sim adapter. I sent it in to Samsung and they labled it as BER (beyond economic repair), they wouldn't even fix it with me footing the bill. I ended up buying a new phone (GN2). Hopefully you have better luck then I did! That sucks, hope you are able to fix it!

Wow that really sucks.... I'd be beyond furious but you can take the back a loose if you have the proper tools. Get a replacement tray on ebay or Amazon and watch a how to video on YouTube. A tear down and rebuild video to be more specific.

I may get it repairs from Samsung.. What ballpark should I expect to pay for the repair from Samsung?
I am surprised an Apple user, would think that their sim card would work on anything other than their overload SKyne...Apple told them it work on.
