Well, my SIM tray holder is broken, I can see a small spring and my SIM doesn't stay in. I have tried to get the same part for the S3 t-mobile but can't find it.
I found the international one, SD SIM tray holder for i9300, but wherever I go, the only say to be compatible with the i9300. Does anybody know if I can use this part on my t-mobile s3 ?, the parts look the same (at least to me).
Thanks for you help
If I am correct you still have a year warranty thru manufaturer and TMO will replace device. My daughter had a BB Curve and about 9 months in starting having rebooting problems and they went ahead and replaced it 3 times and on the 4th gave a crazy discount towards another phone. More than likely it will be refurbished unit not a new one. Refurb has got to be better than buying a part that you would have to install yourself and possibly mess something else up. We did not have insurance on that phone either. So if you bought thru TMO call them up.
As long as you're the first owner/first to register service with T-Mobile with that phone, you can claim the warranty.

I have no idea on that my friend. You weren't able to on the iphones so I doubt that you can on the S3, but im not 100% on that
anyone know if you can put a att note 2 motherboard into a tmobile note 2. I have no signal and think it is due to my mother board. Have replaced charge port and loudspeaker because I was under the impression these two parts deal with the antenna. the reason I ask is because I use att network on my t889 and tmobile never puts out updates and att has at least. just let me know. I think I am going to also try the back housing just in case because again I am under the impression thrr are some antennas in the back piece. wifi is fine just no cell network can find just not able to register. just stopped working out of the blue one day gradually got worse and now nothing. samsung is not my favorite right now. my phone and a blue ray player that is just a little over a year old stop working within the same month not cool samsung not cool.
So i had a att tabs and i broke the lcd on it and i couldnt see the screen to back it up so i bought another used one and opened them up and switched the board out and the new one worked fine. The other day it broke so i bought a verizon one. I popped my att sim in it and it doesnt work so i opened up and switched the board out and still doesnt work. I then switched the cables out also but still doesnt work. I hear it come on but nothing comes on the screen. I then put verizon board back in and it works fine. Does anyone know why i cant get it to work? There the same thing on the inside. Also is there a way to get the att sim card to work with the verizon one? Thanks
Just for a update, i was able to add att info into the verizon tablet and it now works. But still trying to figure out why if i switch motherboards out it doesnt work? The att tablet has screen burn in it and verizon doesn't plus i cant root the verizon one but the att one i can root. So if there is anyone that knows how to switch out just the lcd please let me know. Thanks
I have an old Galaxy S3 that was used on the Virgin Mobile network. The phone sat in a drawer for a long while as the charger port was broken. My son picked it up, took it all apart and looked up replacing the logic board inside the phone to try and get it going again. (I love his desire to get into the guts of it.)
He found S3 logic boards online that have the SIM card on them (VM's are hardwired somehow). I am not a hardware guy at all, though flashed ROM's many times in the past. If he replaces the logic board with one that has a location for a SIM card could we put a TMobile SIM card in and would it work? (I suspect we would have to find a TMobile S3 ROM as well??). Not sure how the interaction of the SIM card with the phone works.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....
