Hi,
The SIM card slider of the Nokia Lumia 800 is plugged back into the wrong way. I cannot get it out without brute force it seams. When inserted in the wrong direction not much force was used.
Did someone already encounter such a problem, and how did you recover from it?
My guess is that because the slider slides into the wrong direction the mechanism to get it up is not activated or it does not slide far enough. Can someone tell me where the mechanism is perhaps I can get under the cap to tricker it?
You can find a picture here (of course change the % for a .) http: picpaste%com/2012-02-26_11.51.25-OZOcFhky.jpg
thanks
slider and the phone. While sliding into the wrong direction you place the knife in the gap between the slider and the phone somewhere in the middle of the slider itself and pull the slider up with a little force.
The utility knife should be thin enough and the force used balanced enough to not damage your plastic of course.
Well done
What case are you using here??

Hello,
unfortunately my stylus cap came off.
Now the longer part of the stylus is stuck in the XDA :-(
Any ideas how to get it out again?
many thanks

if you cant put the upper part into the xda and screw it a bit on and then pull it out
then maybe a longer metal or what ever stick with the same size thread
would be able to get screwed into the pen and then you can pull it out
Thanks for the very quick reply.
When it happened for the first time I was able to "reconnect" screwing the top part on.
But now it's not deep enough. I just doesnt connect, because the main part slid in to far or the thread doesn't grip :-(
I called O2 and they said I would have to send it in...
Very anoying...
well a long screw with the same size and the top would be able to connect would it not ?
You need to get something with the same thread as the top half but longer, then just screw it in and pull the lower half out, if it is broken off then thats a different story.
Thanks folks.
I will stop by at a DIY shop and see if I can find a long screw somewhere...
cheers

I had this happen to me. I put some Krazy Glue in the top half and then pushed it onto the bottom half - waited about 20 sec, then it pulled out without a problem. My issue was the both screw threads became completely stripped.
Jon.
I used the handle end of a small artist's paint brush.
The tapered, plastic shaft was just the right size to push into the stuck portion of the stylus.
Obviously you'll need to hunt around for the right size, but most households will have something similar.
Thank you, the screw did it
I am happy to inform you that with your help yesterday I managed to release the stylus.
A long screw did the the trick for me easily.
Now the only problem left is the unstable screen color, but that's something I have to live with...
thanks again

is there a way to calibrate the accelerometer, it is way too sensitive, sometimes when im holding the phone on my palm to read email/text/webpage it auto rotates because i tilted it a TINY little bit.
i downloaded the app gps status, it has this crosshair thing to see which way you are pointing the phone towards, and it should be dead center if it is laid flat on a flat surface, but its shifted towards bottom left a bit.
i'm wondering if anybody has this problem also.
Maybe your flat surface isn't entirely level.
problem: certain area of the touchscreen jumps when pressed. In my case it's over s and z of the keyboard in vertical mode.. effectively preventing me from typing s or z.
possible cause: that's exactly the area that I use to scroll. so it's definitely a high usage area.
quick research: humidity can cause screen to do weird things like that.
quick solution: wrapped the phone without battery in plastic wrap and dumped it into a container used to hold dried almonds along with 2 packs of those humidity absorbers that you aren't suppose to eat.
well. wish me luck
Does it only happen when using keyboard?
maybe try a different one?
Hi, I dropped the phone (it fell from my pocket when I was sitting on the bench in the gym changing room) from circa 30 cm height and looked at the phone and everything was ok - from such a small drop, no wonder.
But by the time I got home I saw a crack forming from the side of impact (the phone dropped "on its feet" - hitting the frame) which went all the way to the opposite side of the frame. It stopped there of course and now I have a screen split in two by the crack running all the way from bottom to the top.
It is visible only when looking at an angle with light background on the screen, but I do not want a crack in the glass.
What are the options here? Where to repair it (preferably in the UK)? How much?
Or is it better to sell it to one the fellows here who bricked their phones (I read so many threads about this here lately)?
Any input is appreciated :fingers-crossed:
the screen works perfectly - it it just the look that is bothering me
I'm in the same position and the device is working fine. As long it isn't visible and everything is ok, why spend a lot of money?
But if you still want to change it, here it is a guide and in OP signature a site where you can buy the kit:

I had the same problem like you. But I had to change the glass / display (they're the same) in the day that my screen stopped working. I bought a new one here in Brazil for R$600,00... that's like aproximatelly US$300,00...
open up your phone (check youtube on how to do that) and put some soft 1 millimeter thick sticky electrical tape on top of the round vibrating motor on the right side besides the USB-C connector.
I used this tape: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01DUI4CF2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is 0,75mm thick self sealing electrical tape that is sticky on both sides.
The problem seems to be that the metal housing of the motor needs to be isolated from the metal back plate of the phone. metal on metal = rattling noise. No need to pull any cables. I left the fingerprint reader connection on while doing this fix.
Don't put to much tape on it though because it hardens with too much pressure on the back plate of the phone and the isolating properties are gone (rattles again)
Hope this helps someone who is looking for a solution for this. I could not find any real fix for this. The rattling noise was driving me nuts.
Thanks for this. I'll try it when I get the chance. It appears a small section of us have this problem, as I don't see many people complaining about it. The only fix I had ever used so far, was to flash a custom kernel with vibration intensity control and reducing it to around 70-ish strength.

I am totally happy with my very stable B10 + LOS15.1 and I really did not want to go through another clusterf--- of flashery again. It is differently a bad design choice. The vibration motor almost touches the "roof", the aluminum chassis. they placed a tiny round "sponge" on the roof where it touches with the motor. I bet it just looses it's elasticity over time and the motor starts slightly touching the roof.
