Hi all! Im coming from a samsung phone to the G8X and its been a wonderful device. I purchased a 256gb card and now i have problem dealing with dualsim and memory card as not all 3can be accomodated. I used the trick what i used to do with samsung phone. Cut the metal strip off the 2nd sim and glue it to the memory card. It did work on a samsung phone but the lg g8x had tough time taking the tray in since it is tightly packed. I ended up jamming the tray and destroyed it. Luckily after several hours of struggle i got the tray out and have been using a new one since. You guys have any idea on how to achieve this?

Hi all,
I dropped my HTC Desire last week and broke the LCD screen. A replacement one arrived today and I swapped out the old for the new. Delighted to see my new LCD come to life. However, my delight was short lived as the SIM card would not be read. Tried my SIM card in another phone and it worked and tried another SIM card in the Desire with the same error message. So, I messed up somewhere along the line, more than likely with the flex cable part? Anyone got any tips on what I could do to see if I can get the SIM card picked up? The SD card slot is working fine - was able to boot to recovery and browse it, restore from backup, etc.
Any help appreciated, I'd hate to have to replace the phone having fixed the LCD screen.
thanks.
Hi Folks, I have been using T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 for almost an year now without any problems, just recently I got a Samsung Galaxy Note2 which uses a Micro SIM Card and with an intention of using JUST one SIM Card on both the devices (as most people do) I CUT the original SIM card into a Micro SIM card and used it in Note2 and it worked Seamlessly fine, now to use the Micro SIM card in S2 I had to use a Adapter which I did and while trying to fit it in and (of course when it didn't fit) while puling it out the Edges of the SIM Card Holder/Reader tipped (on the edges), causing disconnection of the SIM card with the Assembly. I still am able to fit the card in (requires Perfection) and make it work seamlessly fine, but I still wanted to know the procedure to replace the SIM Card/Micro-SD Slot Assembly in the UNIT.
Also I was able to find a OEM replacement on EBAY selling for around 13$
I will be delighted if someone can guide me in taking out the Assembly and replacing it with the new one. Please note that my Skill level is intermediate and I am pretty much experienced in opening up the electronics and have teared opened Gadgets like PS3, Xbox, PSP, Windows Phone, IPhone with ease. Also please tell me if the replacement requires any soldering as I am not comfortable with it.
If anybody has any Tips and suggestions, please email me at [email protected].
Regards,
Naveed
What a coincidence, I'm looking for the guide too. Can anyone share with us? I broke my sim card slot. I bought a replacement and tried to explore how to fix myself. I was able to disconnect the connector but I am not able to remove the whole jacket. Can someone pin point us on that?
Your help will be greatly appreciated
@Danbuffalo, can we sync-up over the email. Please send me a Test email from your ID at [email protected] I need to tell you a lot of things.

Did any of you ever work out how to replace the micro sd card reader? Mine quit reading the card and I'd like to replace it.
Yesterday I had to switch the SIM-card in my GNex. The new one is a combi-SIM-card (an ordinary one where you can break out a micro SIM).
The ordinary one wasn't recognized so I broke out the micro SIM and tried it in my iPhone. It works flawlessly.
Then I used a micro-sim adapter to put it in my GNex again. Not working again. Then I tried to place the micro SIM manually in my GNex. Moved it a little bit — airplane mode on — airplane mode off. Again nothing. I also tried it with another micro SIM card. Again no luck.
The only type of SIM cards which seem to work are the old ones with the bigger connectors but sadly I can't get one of these anymore for my contact since they are all combi-SIM cards now.
So does anyone have an idea how to get that SIM card running in my GNex? It's too young to retire it :/
This is the equipment:
Strange my micro sim works great without adapter. Just needed to fiddle then restarts it and it picked it up

One of the SIM card reader PINs seems to be gone. I already ordered a replacement SIM card reader from eBay for 5€.
The repair-shop told me that T-mobile SIM cards could still work since only the lower right PIN is missing. I don't know why but the shop-guy was right.
EDIT: I was able to fix the missing PIN temporarily by using tinfoil )
I have a problem. I started getting a no sim card error awhile back and if I played around with my sim card for a little while and put tape on the back it worked. Eventually though it just quit. So I ordered a new sim card tray and put it in but in the process I broke the clip on the daughterboard that holds it down... So i ordered the daughterboard as well and have installed it and EVERYTHING works on the phone except the stupid Sim Card work. I have actually tried two different new sim card trays because I thought maybe I had a dud. I have also gotten a new sim card and tried it out in other phones.
I have the latest Skydragon gpe rom installed on a stock At&t phone any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem, try the original flex cable between the main and daughter board.
I'm coming across from the Note 8 and I have been running two sims plus an SD card inbthe hybrid slot. When I install the same in the Note 10 it says something is wrong with the Sim tray slot. There is zero function of the phone till I remove the Aim card slot.
Does anyone know why it won't work in the Note 10 or someone has it working?
Thanks

Unfortunately Samsung stopped this from happening.
Now, if all circuits (2x sim and 1x sd card) are detected in use, the device displays the Sim tray error and prevents you using the device until you remove either a sim card or the sd card.
This was introduced on Note 8 on certain firmwares and now applies to all newer released hybrid sim devices.
I'm guessing this is to avoid users damaging their devices as the hybrid sim tray was never designed to support all 3 circuits at once and did require some skill to ensure sim tray could still be inserted/removed.
I too was annoyed this happened, but can understand it is to prevent warranty issues.

It's there a way to get around this?
So what I managed to do if anyone else is in the same situation as me is. I took the sim/SD out and I can't remove the sim card from the SD card because the SD card holds it in the correct place. So I just copied all data off the SD card and painted over the connector of the SD card so it won't detect it, and now it only detects the Sim card. So both Sims are working now.
When there is a work around I will do that and use some paint remover to clear the connections of the SD card. But I do have a 1000gb SD card waiting to be filed and replace this one. I didn't use tape because I was too afraid it might come off and get stuck inside.
Because this sim is from a different country where my internet banking is linked to, is very important to have and because I dont go back to that country for 2 months I can't just ask for a replacement. So this is my best case for now.
