Hi guys, i'm just before buying an LG G3 with SIM slot/tray problem.
The seller said that it doesn't detect the SIM card.
Seller seems a honest guy, but it's hard to understand that he didn't check if the warranty would cover it or even if it's possible to repair it.
Heck, that's why i'm turning to you guys. Does anyone have any opinnion on this topic? Did anyone replace the SIM tray?
Is it possible that the SIM tray / slot isn't the problem for not detecting the SIM card?
Thanks a lot for your answers, bye!
I had a SIM card tray go out on my G3 and my carrier (AT&T) just sent a new one, and I sent my non functioning phone back through the manufacturers warranty. New one works like a charm.

Hi there,
Some time ago I purchased a KING OF DOUBLE CARD for my MDA Compact. It seems however that this card is not functioning in my PPC.
I am using a MDA Compact with the original T-Mobile ROM. I only partly installed the cabs because I wanted to get rid of the ugly T-mobile colours.
Could someone please provide me with some help?:
1st: does anyone make use of the KING OF DOUBLE CARD
2nd: What Rom do you have
3rd: Do I have to install something in addition?
etc etc.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards

dont know any answers, but I do have a question...how did you make it fit?
I thought it didnt fit in the HTC Magician....so I bought another and carved up my SIMs
works fine though, using Wivit SIm Status Switcher with it to switch SIMs..
you could try it, its a great app
which model did you buy? what do you mean by "carved up my SIMS"?
He probably means a ghost sim, where you cut the chips out of two sim cards and out them into the ghost sim which is normal sim size.
Hi there,
It is a model where you don't have to cut your sims.
Yes you are right: it doesn't fit that easy however with some pressure on the back of the phone it fits.
The problem however is that my phone doesn't recognize the damn card.
I am cosidering to throw it away and take a second phone with me for the other SIM. Again waste of money. hmmmmm

Double SIM work fine on my XDA mini
Hello all,
Just want to share some info, I use Almighty Bicard on my XDA mini, and it's working fine on it, just turn on your flight mode, then turn off your flight mode than you will get your second SIM.
Or you can use SIM master or SIM MAX, it can handled 8/12 SIM no. on 1 SIM card, but some time you have problem to scan your original SIM card.
Thanks, Vireman
Can you point me to the specific dual sim you use??
I bought the ghost sim and couldn't get it to work, I tried on 4 old sim cards and decided not to cut up my work sim and personal sim.
I have been looking for the other typoes which take the full sim cards.
On another note it may not work because you will need to get the T-Mobile phone unlocked to work with another companies SIM.
My work sim is o2 and would only work after the MDA was unlocked.
You can phone T-Mobile ans they will send you the code to do this for £15.
Hallo ishgrnod,
I use Almighty Bicard, You need to cut your SIM chip and put it together on Almighty Bicard. It work like a switcher, If you restart your phone it will switch to another SIM.
Mostly in my country there no phone lock from the operator, I think your problem come from this side.
Thx. Vireman
Isn't there a universal phone unlocker already on the forums?
I use this cut up dual sim in the UK:

Works fine. Just have a steady hand when you cut, measure twice, cut once
I use an O2 contract and orange PAYG. Some reports say O2 contract doesn't work. Mine does, no problems.

I bought a King Of Double Card for my MDA Compact. I cannot get it to fit at all.
I don't really want to chop up my SIM cards either :?
OK, UPDATE:
I got it to fit but the phone will not recognize the cards. I'm using WiViT SIM Status Switcher.
Can anyone suggest recommend a different tool ?
I'm on
ROM Version : 1.12.00 WWE
Radio : 1.12.10
ExtROM : 1.12.131 WWE
WiViT isn't likely to be the problem - it just reads the operator from your network, and the sim phone number stored in your Sim; you may not have one stored in there (I bloody didn't and thought my EVC programming was at fault). See WiViT's faq, or basically open up Sim Manager on your phone.
But, ignore wivit, just ensure you can make a telephone call with either sim. Then, switch over with STK or flight mode off/on and see if you can make a call with the other Sim. If that works, then your problem is with WiViT. If it doesn't your problem is with the sims. See my other posts on these cut up sims - basically, i think Magician doesn't put enough pressure on the back of the "mini sims", and you need to stick some paper down the back of the metal sleave.

PS See the thread on Magician today screens to see my Wivit type software...
Hey V, thanks for the advice...
My problem was down to the single SIM end of the Dual SIM not making contact with the connectors in the phone. I have the King Of Double Card Type, as shown in my crude mockup below. ( I dont dare take mine out to take a picture since it took me all evening to get it in right. So please excuse the picture.)
WiViT is working perfectly now, i made sure my own numbers were stored correctly as you suggested, and all is well.
The only problem is, the back of my MDAc is slightly out...but i can live with that i guess (until the MDA Pro (HTC Universal) is released)

Can you copy/clone a SIM card?
The reason Im asking is I want to get one of the at&t express cards for my notebook but I dont want to constantly have to swap my sim card back and fourth between the card and phone.
And if I can would one of the sim copiers from ebay work? or are they only for the contacts and stuff?
Contacts and stuff. Cloning sim cards is illegal in most countries I can think of. The only ones who use it are crims and spies (go James Bond). I don't believe you'd find the hardware needed or if you did it would be cheap.
Cheers...
You can tell them you have an intermitant problem, and they will give you a new one. Tell them you have important phone numbers on it, and would like to destroy it yourself. they let me keep mine when I got a replacement.
But it gets deaxtivated as each sim card has a serial that is registered to your number. It becomes a useless piece of plastic after you receive the new card...
At least thats what they do in Oz, think it would be sorta universal...
Cheers...
What are the sim cloners that are sold on ebay that come with a blank sim? I know it might be crap but has anyone tried them?
Also I remember people that use a dual sim adapter have to cut their cards and some advice was to clone the card incase you screw up cutting it?
I guess I should of googled it a little more, it looks like it is possible but questionable so I will quit asking about it on here. Thanks for your help
Hello guys
I'm having an issue when my x10 says there's no Sim card inside and the problem isn't with my Sim card since I tried in my old phone and it works. Even other Rogers Sim card don't work. Anyway I tried taking the battery out and after 3 attempt its working again. So, I want to know anyone else having the same problem and what's the solution?

I had the same issue but mine was a little different. My Xperia would not accept my rogers Sim ( 3 years old ) but it worked fine in all my other handsets.. it was the Sim card in my case and I was surprised to have it replaced free of charge.. also I found that some of the Sims are thinner than others so they would not have enough pressure to make a good contact. A quick fix from my friends Nokia was some clear tape on the back of his sim and it worked perfect.
Good luck!

TMobile's customer service department told me to bend the sim card very gently to ensure good contacts are made. Did this on first day and not had any problems since (famous last words... I'll be digging out the tape by tomorrow!)
My Sim card is like 5 year old anyway It's working now

All u guys with 5yr old simcards need to get rid of them! Those have like 28kb of storage on them, so their phone books are so, so limited!
I know! U use the phones memory, which is a whooooooole bunch! But if your phone ever crashed, all your contacts will be gone! U cannot always copy the entire list of contacts to the sim card, but with a newer 3G simcard, you can copy a lot more than your 5yr old sim card can hold.
These are free! Just walk into your provider's store and request a new simcard. U dont even have to show them what kind of phone u have (ahem!... those of us who are skimming with grandfathered data plans ). Just walk in and say "left my phone at work, but I need a simcard".
I think this thread will help you
as it does for me

I checked that thread, but I hadn't rooted my x10a yet. Going waiting until something extraordinary happens
Someday I will change my sim card lol
Hello, when i have phone in bag or when i shake with it, turn off. I gave it to servis, but service said all test was ok. I tryied to flash FW to 2.3.4, but sometimes do it again.
Can this problem make any aplication or for example OLD sim card (i had 10 years old sim card)
Any ideas ?
Thank you
It could be the SIM. More if is damaged.
Sim ist so damaged it is only old and scuffed
I had a similar problem with my old nokia phone, and it was the sim, a 10 year old sim is not compatible with the newer phones. Call your provider and ask for a replacement, they should just send you one.
Of course, an easier test would be to insert someone else's sim for a while and check.

i don't think that you can use the sim card without the tray because the tray keep the sim in place. as far as the lg g2 tray i don't think it will fit (lg optimus g tray didn't perfectly fit on nexus 4 an it is it's twin brother)but i cannot be sure. if you lost your tray ebay has oone quite cheap

Dont take the risk just buy a new tray for 2-3dollars
Yup, trying to force it in with another holder or some other method can result in permanent hardware damage. Not worth the risk.
