hi, I've been using the same simcard for 3 years that I got with a samsung gravity. I was wondering if the one that came with the g2 is any different from mine.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Oh and I forgot the mention that the simcard that came inside the g2 box has the gold contacts different from the one I'm using.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yes they are different... I was using my old one too when I first got my G2 but I started noticing my friends g2 was faster over the internet... and so I called customer service... turnes out the old sim cards are not 4G speed ready... I would switch to new one... hope this helps ya

As said above. The sim cards are different. Call T-Mo and have them activate your G2 sim. You should notice a data speed difference right away.
What? Seriously?
I've had the same sim card for 8 years, when I had my Nokia black/white cell.
Seriously. They are different.

they may be, but the newer one doesnt unlock speeds.....
According to T-Mobile they do. They recommend anyone using a 4G device have the new sim cards in.
T-mobile rep here.
Activate the new similar card.
The new similar cards do not necessarily increase the available speeds, BUT the old similar cards can cause issues in newer phones causing slower data speeds.

Or simply cause your phone not to work at all... I was at work one day and all of a sudden lost all signal. I unrooted, rerooted, wiped, everything. Turned out I had to get the newer SIM card.
sorry for the gravedig, but does it cost to have the simcard activated that came with the phone ?
I'm using an old sim card, no problems here.
I don't have a data plan though so I can't comment on the speeds.

I just did this yesterday- I called customer service and walked through a few tests. It worked within minutes, although the CSR said it could take up to 2 hours. You might have to update your phone and VM numbers.
My phone radio just died one day. Wifi and BT worked fine. I could see networks, but I couldn't register on them. The same problem occurred in another phone with the same sim card. The CSR said that the older sim cards couldn't handle as many connections to the 4G network? Not sure if that's the scientific reason, but replacing the sim card fixed the problem. Luckily, I kept the one that came with the phone so I didn't have to go to the store to get another one, but I've done that in the past and I don't remember being charged for it.
Im using a SIM card from 7 years ago. Works perfect.
There is something I want to stress and is going in my sig now:
THE HTC DESIRE Z/G2/VISION IS NOT A "4G" PHONE

Speeds in Puerto Rico have been really slow since a couple of months ago. All my friends with Sprint have called Customer Service and they always say that they are making changes to the network and that this problem is temporary. But it have not changed! In fact its getting worse. Yesterday I was really close to a cell tower. I mean I could see the effin light on the top blinking. I could not even get roaming signal! I was not alone as my friend with an Evo and another one with a Samsung where not able to to connect either...
I am strongly considering changing to ATT... They have good Androids now and at least I would have a signal and would not have to pay 10 extra bucks...

I contact Sprint customer service and they told me that there is a temporary outage since 8/22/11 and technicians are working on it. I asked if I would get reimburse for the time without service and the CSR told that I would get reimburse once the service is back and running again.
Hi,
Im seaching for a Dual sim adapter for Defy, regarding im from brazil so the best is from ebay or dealextreme.
Do somebody know where and which dual sim adapter to buy?
post the links if you can.
Thx
MAGICSIM 28th gen PLUS is what I'd go for. Seems to be the only reliable option
hi there, do you know if this works reliably with cyanogen 7 ?
Yea I'm sure it does
Oh btw i've just ordered the new 28th gen+ from these guys www.magic-sim.com so far its been an excellent service and everything seems great.
seems promosing and good but very pricy
I didn't think is was pricey at all when compared to the other options.

Which one did you get the no-cut or cut model? Compatibility guide says no-cut model fits but I don't see how it could go in Defy without stripping the metal part from SIM-card slot.
I was looking into this the other day actually and it does seem possible. Check out this picture...

Nice! I was thinking if it is possible to push the adapter from bottomside under the metal part and then push the sim normally in holder and according to the picture it seems possible! Excellent
Yea it looks good.
I've ordered one from the link above that Rhousman posted. I'll let you know how I get on if anyone's interested?
Hi there ... yes it would be great ... so did you ordered not CUT model? Thinking bout the same.
I bought "28th GEN PLUS (3G/2G) DUAL SIM CARD ADAPTER - NO CUT MODEL" from http://www.magic-sim.com/ and it does fit in Defy and it seems to be working.

All working good here. No need to reboot when changing sims or anything like that
tnx. but I did not mean that reboot is needed. So its hot swap?
I didnt get it. In old mobile phones with such adapters the only way to change sims was reboot.
In some DUOS mobile phones two SIMs works in the same time and you can select one or another to call someone and receive calls for both. Also two signal strength bars are displayed.
But how this adapter works with Defy?
Thanx!
Hey, I'm currently working with a HTC HD2 with a Froyo Android on it and having difficulties in the basement.
I've recently moved into a new rental house (am a University student) and was given a room in the basement (not much choice there since I signed up late for housing). Anyways I've noticed I get 1-2 bars in the basement which is fine (so I thought) but I'm not receiving any text or phone calls! Whenever I walk outside with my phone there's multiple texts waiting for me and whenever I meet my parents they question why I never pick up the phone (I dont even have missed calls showing).
Now with my closest friends I have whatsapp/fb chat/google talk which is fine but for employers who I give my resume to, or friends I occasionally meet up with they have no way to contact me :S so was wondering if there's any way to boost my signal in the basement?
I've read about a few signal boosters and repeaters but they are costing hundreds of dollars which is out of my price range but really do need to fix something or my social life is going down the drain next semester :S
Thanks in advance
forgot to mention, it wont even send texts as well at two bars... so sad T__T

Go outside. Solves both your social life problem and signal problem.
Maybe AT&T will have better signal and you can just switch to like Straight Talk.

Signal booster apps are a scam. I hope you didn't pay for it.
You should connect it to a strong wifi network and use wifi calling.

Hey, no didn't pay for it but I personally disagree. It feels like it does help (although the difference isn't very much)
And yea was debating on going pure WiFi but seems like a lot of hassle to have two different numbers, or is there a way to keep same number?? Sorry not very sure how WiFi networks work, if you could recommend a good one that'd be great

Most T-Mobile smartphones have built in wifi calling. No porting or different numbers. You just connect to a wifi network and enable it in the settings.

I don't know. But, if you're willing to just commit to the N4, you might be able to take the back off and stick the card in the slot permanently. Maybe.
maybe an iPhone one could work?

Good thought, but it doesn't look like it: the outside cover plate is larger on the Apple tray and there's more distance between the outside cover plate and the edge of the SIM card than on the N4 tray.

Oh nevermind then, I haven't receive my nexus 4 yet and the pictures of the Google's tray I found were very unclear.
Did anyone figure this out??
I broke the plastic off of the sim tray by mistake!
I need a new tray
You could try calling LG, they have replacement parts and I'm sure this one isn't the most common replacement so they should have some in stock. 800-243-0000 You could try calling them to see if they have them available.
Anyone have any luck?
I just broke the front plastic bit off of my SIM Tray. It looks horrible.
I can't find anything on eBay.
You all need to be more careful!
But seriously, this is probably something you need to contact LG or Google (not sure who is in control of hardware support) directly, because of the fact that they put the IMEI number for the phone on the tray itself. I doubt this is high demand item at this point in time, so you most likely won't have luck finding one from a third party, and even if you did I'd imagine it'd be very high in price.

Just incase anybody reads this and has a Nexus 4 Sim Tray they would sell - PM me because I am looking for one!
So last night I took my sim out to test tmobile sim I have. Then a friend came over and while I was outside talking it vanished somehow.
So now i cant find my sim or the tray. I'm going to order one, like $8. But crap. Can't believe I lost it. I searched this living room, flipped the couch over.
Maybe the cat ate it. Haha

Edit: So tonight I get the change jar and pour it out on the table. There pops out my extra sim and the tray. Last night I had slid the card in without the tray and it worked just fine. I wasn't without a phone without the tray. Sure was nice to find it. I knew it was in that damn house.

I supose you are using Rogers SIM. Buy other SIMcard and try it coz all seems ok.
This has been going on for at least a year the signal comes in sometimes but very weak in my house. I have another cheap phone I get excellent signal all through the house. The signal on my note 3 can have 3 bars but as soon as I try to make a call it disappears and says it's not connected to a network. This is so frustrating because I search for the network and it finds it but won't connect to it.
I've recently unlocked my phone about two weeks ago and switched service providers from Rogers to eastlink. I was hoping it was a problem with the rogers sim but nothing seems to help.The Sim I'm using works great in the cheap phone but can't use my note 3

Try to flash this firmware: HERE via ODIN. This is the correct firmware now for Canada (EastLink). I hope it helps.
could be an internal antenna wire unplugged or badly plugged too, did you dismounted it or bought second hand one ? It happened to me the same way as yours, just guessing
