One of the gold plated pin in the sim slot for my Galaxy S II broke, too bad its the real small one that is covered. I am having a hard time finding a replacement for sale anywhere on the internet.
I looked at gsm4world.us without luck. I think the best chance is to buy the one from the original Galaxy S: http://www.gsm4world.us/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-oem-sim-card-slot-flex-cable-d-03610_615.html which should fit, but faces the wrong way, then I can resolder it myself, though I'm not good at soldering and would need to buy the tool.
(Phone is not under warranty and I wouldn't want to wait 2 weeks (or so I'm guessing) and incur high cost just to repair a cheap part.)
Let this be a warning for all of you that have microSIM card like I do. I use this tray holder which is hard to insert: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Micro-Sim...y-Holder-iPhone-4-4G-USA-Seller-/250907522599 and I guess as I removed it, it takes the pin with it.
Ordered that sim slot, but simply don't want to wait due to being shipped from china. Sent it to Samsung for a replacement for $75. It only takes less than 1minute to replace the part, but sim slot seem to be almost rare on ebay.

Hey guys,
I've been searching the net, it seems MicroSD Card cases/holders/wallets are starting to appear, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of them..
The Pelican 0910 case was the one I was looking at right now, but I'm just looking around at this point to see what might work best.
Feedback desired ;-)

I have 2 8gb cards. One stays in the kaiser and the other in a very tiny usb adapter that stays on the keychain (a mobilemate micro) . My advice? Just get bigger cards so you dont need as many
where to find a really cool microSD card case/holder
I saw this link on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFzEuG3oM8s
the web address is www.sdcardholder.com , the thing is way cool, holds ten cards as well as an adaptor and is razor thin. I called the toll free number and the guy told me the first run was bought out completely by a company that is going to give them as swag at CES, they have more in production and will be selling on Amazon and ebay after the first of the year. I literally was searching for a year for something like this. The company says they will be $7.95 with free shipping in the US. Beats the crazy pricing I have seen for really crummy designs and most sellers try to rape you on the shipping.
Agree

I want one - that's a good bit of plastic... but not available in the UK yet
Oversized metal one from ebay it is.
Try this Card wallet:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_11000130_11000734&products_id=21956
Since I never try that before, but I using the phone case from this store, the qualities are really good, and the outlook looks very practical, but if more design or colors provided, It will be more attractive.
One of my dogs, in the process of chewing up the leather case for my Tilt also was able to damage the Micro SD slot cover so that it doesn't close correctly. I've done some searching on the internet and this forum and I can't find Tilt (no camera hole) faceplates available at all, let alone the Micro SD slot cover. Really all I need is the small rubber/plastic Micro SD slot cover.
Does anybody have a dead Tilt/Kaiser that they could remove the Micro SD slot cover from and sell to me? A no camera faceplate would be OK too, it doesn't have to be AT&T branded, but I do prefer the back color.
PM me if you have something that might be of interest to me.
Thanks in advance!

Search E-bay for Tilt Housing and you'll get a bunch of AT&T ones.
Don't buy from China... they sell miss matched used units, that are labeled as new... I'm waiting on my replacement from them and it takes like 10 days to ship something over there.
Duh!!
Ebay.... Stupidity on my part strikes again!
Thanks for pointing me there!
I am sorry about your problem. When I first got the divice a 2 gig card jumped out into a blackhole...yes...we found it...now replaced with a 2 gig I woilds sell.
I purchased for around 26 bucks and from what I hear it was worth it becasue the cheaper models are toooo tight and can break off!
However, the do not...I repeat...they do not cover up the hole.
It appears that there is a small piece of rubber with a snap clip. But, I would want to look at the blowup of this before coming to that conclusion and just ripping mine off!
Best bet...and I have been mul it over...is to get some kind of hoby shop goop which will set into a rubber shape. You put your chip in and get the goop ready and place it over the hole. Hopefully, the chip will create a groove in your goop...which will harden. you should be able to pull them all apart.
You are working in such a confined space...don't have a better idea for you.
Happy Christmsas!!

Hey guys my phone won't recognize the sim card anymore so I need a new slot. Does anyone know any websites that carry it in the us for the price of Ebay? I want it for cheap, but can't wait two to three weeks to get it. Also, is it possible to purchase just the center housing for the kaiser, the part between the faceplates which has the power and camera buttons on it? I don't want to have to buy a full housing if I don't have to since I already replaced the faceplates. If anyone has any info lmk and list the website. Thanks.
on witch site can i find parts for this phone i need a motherbord
Easiest thing to do is buy a Hermes off of ebay and swap out motherboards. Make sure that if theres something wrong it ISN'T the "No GSM" error or its a pointless purchase.
You can use the other parts as spares too.
Cheers...
Had the same request for a new motherboard - found one that had screen problems on Craigslist locally. Paid about 40 dollars. Everything but the screen (bad digitizer) was fine although the case was a little beat up. Prices on eBay even for the really beat up are pretty high. You do have to ask tons of questions - second the no GSM Error questions. Also ask if the USB port is functional and isn't loose. Check if the mSD card is working.
anyone know where to buy the sim card reader from ? mine has bent pins which some have snapped only place i can find is globalpartsdirect.com who have a minimum order of 5 units and a high shipping to the UK or acceport.com who have "sent" one but it never arrived, now refunded and arent answering emails... any help would be amazing
