You mean "Look I'M selling this"
No, mine is not for sale.
I just saw it and post it here... I find interesting that someone is trading the phone for a PSP.

That no-punctuation text block in the listing makes my brain explode.
The seller days it turns on. But the touch screen is not working.
Maybe a bad rooting? What do you guys think?

Can be, I had my touchscreen not working when i flashed a 800mv kernel from intersect raven (test build i suppose its in his mediafire directory)
But if he had done something like that he also would know how to fix it.
Just my though
i'd be careful it might be the broken one i sold to someone in Florida on ebay. he bought it knowing it had a broken touchscreen and a really jacked up sim card socket. i bought it off someone else on e-bay to fix it and that guy failed to report that it had damage from the sim socket being pryed on by a screw driver. i got a partial refund from the seller and sold it for less than i paid for it but ended up breaking even due to the partial refund i got from the original seller.
if your interested in this phone have the guy take a photo of the back of the phone if there is a dent/damage to the metal loop on the back of the phone on the right side where the sim socket it its the same phone i had.
OK cool I see if I can get him to send me a pic.

Hi,
I just received a DHD on Orange UK, and it has the sim card cover not fitting properly problem that I have read about on here, ie it sits high at the middle.
Has anyone received a DHD from Orange that DIDN'T have this problem? I am just trying to decide whether its worth returning it or whether they're all going to be like this anyway...
Cheers.
My DHD was from orange, the sim card cover dosent fit proply either, but i dont notice as my DHD is usually in its otterbox.

DHD originally branded on Orange UK, complete with logo on sim card cover, not exactly sure what you mean, mine appears to fit fine. I were you, I'd look into buying an unbranded cover to get rid of that unsightly logo.
I had the same problem but there is a fix
Look very carefully at the cover.
You will see a bit that sticks out that fits next to the sim card.
This peice is L shaped and should fit into a similar L shaped peice on the phone.
However when I first fitted my cover I didnt line it up properly and bent the end of the L shaped peice on the cover over. This prevents the peices from locking together and makes the cover stick up.
If you very carefully bend the L shaped bit on the cover back into shape you can get the cover to fit correctly. It wont be bent by very much but if the cover cant fit together it wont fit right.
I wish I had taken soem photos but now I have the thing fixed you cant easily see what I did to fix it.
If one of you guys can take a photo of the cover I can point out the place to check if you cant work it out.
i contacted HTC and said i broke mine, and they sent me two new unbranded sim covers yaay

Did you just contact them via e-mail? I'm not too worried about it's flimsiness, it's just that it doesn't fit right to the sides of the phone, has a good 1-2mm step

Ah no it doesn't have the usual step above the sim card, it's actually on the side of the phone, hard to explain lol. The edge of the sim card cover is not flush with the edge of the rest of the phone.
Hi, if it's from UK Orange, just call them up and get them to sent you a new one. I've had three HTC Desire HD sent from Orange, and not one had any problems with fitting the similar cover.
PS: the reason that I've had three handsets from Orange is because the replaced them, apparently each one was faulty.

So my wife wanted to shove her iphone microsim into my phone because her phone was out of battery, and for some reason the micro sim tray got caught in the sim connector slot. I was not able to get it out gently. I finally yanked it out, and I now broke off a tiny bit of the connector.
I have found this http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-note-sim-connector/ for sale and was wondering if I should attempt to do this myself.
Has anyone had any experience with this repair? I have been trying to look for something online that features a tear down, but I have not found anything that involves the sim connector.
i couldn't stop laughing...last week my wife tried to do same with my note, thankfully i had seen her and stopped it..
better give it to service center, enough damage is already done
Sounds like it was you who wrecked it by yanking. Don't blame your wife!

i did the same yesterday i took it to samsung service center, it will take one working day to be fixed, they will change the connector for 40$, going to collect it tomorrow.
update: they just called me, gonna collect it now.

Hah Dude! I had the EXACT SAME THING. The goddamn thing got stuck, i got mad and ripped it out. The pin (middle on) broke off and then the phone did not recognize my sim card.
I was so mad cuz it was the first day I had the phone.
Anyway, just return it to samsung repair center.. they fixed mine for free.
State something in the lines of ''When I placed the simcard I noticed it wasn't recognized. When I removed the simcard, it turned out the middle pin was missing''
Multibillion dollar company, they won't look any further and replace ur phone.
Goodluck.
so u havent told us if your wife is still alive xD
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
so basically you pulled it out and damaged it but blame the wife for putting a microsim in there.....right
I did the same thing on my old Nexus S and sent it to Samsung to repair. Got it back last week. I was messing with my phones and switching Sims and got frustrated and yanked it out therefore breaking the Sim tray connectors.
Sent From My Galaxy Note
LOL you guys...
What did you expect ?
Just go ahead and send your phone back to Samsung and your wife (soon to ex-wife because of "random" kidnapping) off to Siberia where she'll learn NEVER to touch a mans phone... ever (unless it's to say how big it is then promptly put it down).
on a side note I heard transporting human bodies is quite cheap, as long as you ship in bulk
Hehe I am not blaming the wife per se, I have gone and bought the replacement sim connector. It's less than a buck, so I just bought 2 just in case it happens again.
I am in a country where service center or warranties are just not possible. So its pretty much diy and buyer beware.
If I get it and don't stuff it up, will update with photos.

Same exact case here. Last week. Living in Spain. I had to send it to the Samsung Care Center in Pontevedra. 27€, but i had it back in one day.
This bloody pins are made of butter. Don't worry you'll get it fixed.

suomaf, replace it yourself. Galaxy S, Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note are pretty easy to disassembling. Here is video tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFDr3PQMTxw
oh sure the phone is easy to disassemble but replacing the sim tray is not as easy as it is being talked about on here...
if samsung wont do it... pm me i can fix it..ive already done 2 from members on xda and i promise it was as good or better than samsung....
and for those who think its like older galaxys that was a separate unit that plugged in..not this one its soldered to the board and it is in quite tight quarters...
just trying to help avoid a catastrophe and give someone an option that might not have been there... btw i have 22 yrs board level repair experience just for any that might be thinking i didnt know what i was talking about...

I nearly had the same happen to me the other day ! obviously quite a common occurrence. I was removing the Micro SIM holder, it got halfway out and then the Micro SIM fell out of the holder and the Holder was catching on something - fortunately I guessed what was going on here so was VERY careful - I managed to get the SIM back into the holder then slot the whole thing back in , then remove it again (easy once the SIM was in place )
Bloody glad I was on the ball and didn't just give it a sharp tug now I've read this !
samsung service center location in US
Hi,
Can you tell me where the Samsung service location is? I am in SF bay area. I have the same problem on my international version (N7000). I would rather have it repaired at a Samsung location instead of some cell phone shops that only know how to replace iphone screens.
$40 seems very reasonable.
Thanks in advance.

Those are both the same and yes the right one. Tools needed are a torx # 5 I think and a small phillips screwdriver. And I do this stuff a lot so I just had them. I'm sure you can find them any where locally. Its easy if you do this stuff a lot if not take your time and its not bad, just try and find a you tube video or something and pay close attention to what your doing

Package the device as you would like to receive it. In a good strong box with plenty of padding. You can use the original box, but it will not be returned to you. This information overrules the one in the repair tick-sheet instructions.
Should our engineers determine that the fault you are experiencing is caused by physical damage, wear and tear or illegal software, it will not be covered by warranty.

Should you not wish to pay that quote, there will be an approximate £25 diagnosis, shipping and handling fee to have the device returned to you and not repaired.

Your repair will take approximately 5 working days from when it arrives at the HTC Repair Centre and it's subject to parts availability.
So what do you think, send it to them (and how much you think it would cost? I've had it for a year & 2 months) , repair it myself or send it to a cheapo place? Thanks!

Hi all. i have an s3 with t-mobile uk and last week i broke the screen. Luckily for me my i have aquired an s3, which had been cooked in the microwave and needed a new motherboard but screen all good. long story short swapped motherboards and all good apart from donor phone still being locked to O2 so have no signal. How can i get round this.
thanks in advance.
Why didn't you just swap screens?
Swyped from Tapatalk Pro
Your story is contradictory, your motherboard in the microwaved phone will still be t mobile.
Anyway, to unlock you'll need a network code from O2 or another legitimate source.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Hi,
Just quick question, how could it be on O2 if you swapped the motherboards? You should be on t-mobile like your old phone was. So I think there is a bit of confusion. But that's just my opinion!
Good luck!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
basically my t-mobile s3 broken screen. other is microwaved O2 s3. swapped motherboards and all my phone stuff works fine apart from i have no signal. if i go to network operators in settings only O2 is shown and no option for t-mobile/ ee.
That isn't network lock, which appears as soon as you insert a sim card belonging to another network. You have a different issue, probably related to microwaves or water (drying something out is the main reason people microwave electronics, thus destroying it twice over).
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
so would it be right to assume that something else may not be working which is attatched/stuck to back of screen?
p.s. amusingly the microwaved phone was my brothers, he was heating little ones bed time milk but put the wrong hand in the microwave.........
I guess the antenna got fried in the microwave. Try transplanting motherboard and screen into your original case.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
The lower PCB is attached to the screen. That's going to be fried.
i turned phone on yesterday to see what i could do via settings. oddly all started working normally. i spent an hour the other day trying to sort it but would only ever detect O2. the motherboard swap was definitley the easy option. a few screws a poke and a prod and bosh.... all done. thanks for yourhelp and suggestions.
