My SIM tray somehow vanished into the void after i dropped it so after an hour of searching I'm calling it quits.
Anyone know if and where I can get a replacement one? I can only find one on eBay for 20 dollars.
Hey buddy. I think it will be extremely difficult to remove LCD without cracking .

You might contact Essential to see if they can sell a new tray.
You can't be the first person.

Hi,
Today I've just noticed that somehow i have cracked the screen on my XDA Exec I have no idea how this has happened, the phone has been in its Leather pouch, in clamshell mode with the screen inwards, in my pocket all day :?:
Just wondering what the warrenty would be like for a thing like this?? Im very pissed off as nothing of major force has touched it, i havent knocked on anything :?: And surely the whole idea of the clamshell & leather pouch is to protect it from things like this?? There are no marks on anything, im very puzzled as to how its happened
Anybody got any info about the warrenty please let me know
Thanks
Matty
many many people have this problem. I myself had it 2 months ago. I was always very careful with my device, but some day I took it out of my pocket and the screen was broken.
I had to pay to T-mobile NL in order to receive a new one, 130 euro, and was forced to extend my contract with another year.
Good luck!

Hi
Search as there are various posts about o2 and their replacement under warranty. Here's one thread I contributed to for starters
Broken screen
:wink:
I too had it happen to mine. The screen is too flexible and all it takes is sitting down wrong with it in your front pocket. Mine was even in a Piel frama leather reinforced case. Nice case but doesnt really do much to protect the unit.
I had mine repaired by pocketpctechs for $259.
I have since gotten the aluminum case and had no prblems since. I have even dropped my MDA on concrete and the road about 3 times with no effects tahnks to the aluminum case.

Do you get the option to purchase insurance for the phone in the UK through your carrier? I pay an additional $6 to t-mobile but it covers accidental damage etc...
Hi,
many people have this problem. Seems more and more like a production problem
good luck

I bought the phone off eBay, as my contract is on Orange and i was bored of my last handset! As such i cant get the insurance to get me a new phone!
Im currently trying to get in touch with the person i got the phone from on eBay to send me down a receipt in the chance of getting an O2 shop to send it away for me!
Same problem here! Feck!!!
I claimed under my house insurance and i got it Yippy. Now which is the best place to get it repaired?? noticed a few topics saying different places. But is any better than the other etc..
Thanks

Will give the games developers some time to make some decent games for WM5 i suppose :lol:

I need help,
After my LCD on my wing cracked about 2 weeks ago I ordered a LCD replacement off of ebay. I successfully made the swap but for some reason my phone wont connect to the T-Mobile network anymore. I tried opening a few more times to check all the connections. I even took it completely apart again to day unplugged and reconnected everything. No go. Does anyone have an idea whats wrong? Im thinking the antenna/speaker module but I havent been able to find where I can buy one.
Other connections
Does it connect to Bluetooth and WiFi still? Did you test your sim with another phone to make sure it's good, or it's not the tower?

Thanks for a response, I really appreciate it. Bluetooth and wifi still work. I tried my sim in my mom's wing and it worked fine. It also works fine in my motorola v360. I think the antenna got messed up somehow. Would be nice if I can find an OEM replacement. My speaker also went out some time ago. You know where I can find them?
No one knows? Anyone?

Not sure where you can get replacement parts, but you could prob find a busted wing on ebay or craigs list and yank the parts outta there.

Honestly I think there's one person driving up the bids on those broken wings on eBay. some with a "**" in between two different letters outbid me in 2 different auctions now. I smell fraud...
i think ebay actually randomizes the name because i was the first bidder and when i look at the actual name it shows totally different name. So im assuming its for protection

when i bid on ebay my first bid almost always gets out bid the second i place my bid, but i think thats a measure to make sure the seller gets more money. just a theory
I think I need a new ribbon cable. For about a week my screen would turn off when I slid it open. Then about two days ago when i closed it it would flicker and if i wigled the front of it it would stay on. Now sometimes it turns on and sometimes it doesn't. I tried to kinda peek in between the two parts and it looks like the ribbon has a crack in it about half of the cables thickness. I called the htc service and repair number for tmobile phones and the guy on the line said that the average price to repair that would be about 70 bucks. Should I try to find the cable and replace it myself (I dont have alot of skills opening phones although I did change the LCD in my nokia 5300) or should I just send it in? Any other choices recomended? Final question, does anybody know where i could get that ribbon cable? Any help is appreciated. I hope I explained my situation well enough. Thanks again!

well i would call tmobile and have them send u another phone they would be able to replace it i just had mine replaced for like 20 bucks
I probably should have mentioned the phone was purchased used off of craig's list so I dont think i can get any warranty out of tmobile...
i would call anyways it cant hurt to find out if anything ***** for like 30-45 mins and say u cancel ur contract and they will send u another one immeadtly lol
I dont think they'll give in. They didnt even wanna sell me insurance for it! I'll try later just for the fun of it...
I called. They said there is nothing they can do. Oh well. Guess I might have to go through the htc repair... I hope its not too pricey
you miight have to pay like 50-75 dollars
Yea I have similar problems... I would buy it a SquareTrade but in order to do that you have to have bought it off ebay... So I would have a friend "sell" it to you via ebay (at the desired insurance price). Then buy a ST plan on it that covers accidental damage and your phone will be under full warranty... Do your reading thou.
I was running for the bus and incorrectly assumed my phone wouldn't go flying out of my pocket (not that I had much time to think in the midst of things). Front and back are intact; corners all got dented. When I made it on the bus was when I noticed the sim card tray was gone, along with the sim card itself. Don't see a single viable result for a replacement through a Google search. Please help?? I just need a new tray. Replacement the chrome sides of the 6P is something I can look into after fixing this dilemma - I can't receive calls or use data in this state!
I purchased the phone via the Google store on Nov 18 using a Chase debit card.
Would any Nano-SIM tray work? Can I return to Google? Is there any workaround? Any help is extremely appreciated!

That really sucks. I would call Google. You'll get the answer direct from them rather than likely speculation here.

Some people in the Dual-Sim thread have had trays 3d printed. Send messages to a few of the people and ask if the tray they got printed works for the normal slot, and if so where to get it.

Lol thank god I found it - both the tray and the card! Took a cab back and searched out in the cold and dark for 30 minutes. Funny enough I found someone else's SIM card but T-Mo is giving me a free one in-store tomorrow.
BTW -- For anyone else in this circumstance, Globaldirectparts is the only online retailer at the time of this writing who has a replacement SIM tray for the Huawei Nexus 6P H1511. Listed for $6.99 + shipping.

I got accidental damage coverage on my 6P for 2 years for $99 with a $75 deductible. I know someone who has used it before and it's legit.

Hi everybody. I've got a bit of a conundrum to get out of. I just need to know that my problem isn't extremely serious or that I can expect it to be resolved if I take it to a store tomorrow.
I put in a cut SIM (as opposed to an issued SIM that's proper-looking and everything) in the SIM tray.
Now it's not coming out. I can get it out halfway, but after that it's jammed, and I'm afraid of breaking the tray so I won't pull it out any further.
The SIM works fine when I push the tray back in, if that helps.
I really hope there's some way for this to be fixed and that this isn't a fatal issue. Never again will I put in a cut SIM in a phone again.
Might just be too thick, I know some Sim cards need to be sanded down to fit right. If it's stuck try maybe using something to push it down so it can slide past whatever's obstructing it.
Sorry to hijack your thread but does anyone know why there are two SIM card trays?

In the turbo 2? There's only one actually. One side is both Sim and SD card on the tray. The only one I've seen with two Sim trays is either the moto x play, or the droid maxx 2 but both have the second tray covered. I removed the one on an x play and was able to utilize it with a different ROM.
Alright I'll try that at the store. I'm not brave enough to do it myself, but the way you talked about it, it seems as if it can happen to anybody from time to time.
I'll update the situation in a few hours. (it's Sunday so the shops open late today, 11 am right now.)

Oh, I forgot to update the thread. My bad.
Well, everything's shot to ****.
I'm in Pakistan, so I went to a number of stores and everyone refused to do anything to the phone. The last guy tried to pry it out by putting a piece of plastic (he cut a plastic screen protector) inside the tray, but no luck. Then, at the same store, another guy looked at the phone. He was actually going to try and open it, but I stopped him. Then he said it'd probably be best if I didn't try anything with the phone, and that it'd be a shame if it stopped working in the process.
After this I had a trip to Indonesia a couple of weeks ago, and there were some stores there that were supposed to be authorised Motorola repair centres, but the couple I went to, said that Moto had ended their contracts with Indonesia and so they couldn't fix the phone either.
So for the moment, I'm stuck with the jammed tray. But hey, at least the SIM works. I think I can even get a microSD card inside if I need to. But it'll have to be a big one, because I get the feeling I won't be able to remove it if I ever have to.
I hope you, or anyone else, can solve the problem and let me know, so I can fix it too.
Damn the fact that Pakistan has no Moto repair. India does! Like they're right there. Across the border. But not here. Not in Pakistan.
Hope this helped.
Sister's friend went to England, and I handed her the phone to fix; she got it done at a Carphone Warehouse outlet -- where the phone was also purchased -- in 2 mins. I have no idea what the guy did but it's definitely fixable.
