Serious Problem! Gnex

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.

Advice needed ASAP

Good morning,
I am about to trade my GS3 for a note 2. But the owner says the phone won't read the sim card. Can this be fixed

Get the IMEI number and make sure it's not being blocked or blacklisted, make sure it's not attached to EIP plan. Get the original sales receipt to verify it was purchased outright. Meet at a T Mobile store and have him remove it from his account and transfer to yours so it can't be reported stolen or lost and blacklisted down the line. Also, have the owner write out a bill of sale in the store. Anyone not willing to do this is no bueno.
As far as the SIM not being read try a different SIM while at T Mobile, that being said be careful buying these phones used, a lot of people bought them used and then the phone was blacklisted, protect yourself.

Besides the good advice from the above poster, I had a Sim tray break and since it is connected to the board, it was more expensive to fix than by a new phone. Just be very careful as said in the post above! Good luck.

Not registered to network

I need help guys, I was using my phone for only a week when all of a sudden I can't call or text or listen to my voice mail... instead I keep recieving "not registered to network" messages when i try and do anything involving data. When I go to my settings to enable data, its already on, but when I look for an available network, it turns off my data.. its like a never ending loop. Regardless of which I do first. My s4 is rooted but I doubt that could be the issue becauze it worked with my phone being rooted, anyone have any solution other than replacement?

Take a look to your apn and also make sure your IME has a # like 03 instead of just a 0 also check that on mobile networks make sure that the LTE/GSMA something lik that.. Is checked.. Make sure it has the LTE...

Idk what you ment by the ime # not having an 03, but I checked and made sure everything else was in the right position and they are, but its still being stubborn

This could also be a bad SIM

Maybe, but why randomly stop working? Before this situation, my phone was sending me errors about how I couldnt wifi call due to an outdated sim card, so I went and got a new one, that didnt work.

And all you've done it root it? That's not going to cause your issue, and you have a new SIM. It's starting to look like bad hardware.
lagunas11 was asking you to verify your IMEI

Wait.. I think your right about the whole SIM deal, I switched to Family Mobile about a week ago and they dont really have new sim cards just the original big than micro, so im going to take a guess and say it is the sim

That's most likely what it is then. So they are giving customers cut down regular SIM cards? I'm lost...

Nah, when you purchase the SIM Card, its a big one but within side is a micro-sim, that you can pop out incase you desire one, but if you need the big one, you can easily pop the micro back into the big. Thanks for your help man, I guess im going, to be phoneless for a little

That always sucks... Try turning off data and setting the Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA auto, maybe you can at least txt and call...

Thanks for everything man, turns out my imei number got locked after I reported this phone stolen, I called tmobile just earlier today and now I just wait 48 hours before my phone will be active again

Quick question on selling a 4G device

I am selling my Rezound and Dna on eBay. Does the sim card usually go with the phone, and if so do I need to wipe anything on it? Thanks in advance, never sold a 4G device before.

No, keep your Sim cards or toss em.
No need to send to anyone, they will need their own.

No, keep it or trash it as Santod said.
Whenever a device is removed from Verizons system it flags the SIM card as unusable for 48 hours, sometimes burns it completely. So whoever buys your device needs to provide their own.

Thanks to both of you.

[Q] D855 - "No SIM card"

Hi.
I just recieved my new Lg g3 (D855) phone.
And even if my SIM card is insterted, I got an issue saying it's not inside.
I tried with 2 différent SIMs, and it's still the same.
Do you have any similar experiences ?
My phone is EU imported, and I use french sim cards.
Thanks for your help !

Did you buy it new or used? Sounds like sim reader is screwed.
The sim card reader are very fragile in this phone

Aw, I bought it on Amazon, sold as an occasion, Amazon said it was returned because the box was damaged.
But the phone really looked great and doesn't seem to have anything wrong.

Did you try talkin to Amazon? Or try talking to lg for warranty replacement
Sent from my LG-D852 using XDA Free mobile app

Not yet, I wanted to ask 1st if it was normal (as it is imported)

I took a closer look to the pins, and I saw that 2 of 4 are broken (the middle ones).
I hope Amazon won't act like it was my fault...
Well, they can refund me, or I can see with LG, but I've no idea what are the delays.

Lg turnaround times are like 3weeks. Plus minus shipping times , since they vary from country to country.
