I have a cut down sim card that i use for my galaxy s3. The sim card holder accpeted the cut down sim and everything was fine. It would click out and in fine. Today after i flashed a new rom the mobile data kept dropping out. I thought it was my sim so i tried to click it out and it wouldnt come out. I seached ways to take it out online and finally used a thumb tack to slowly push it out in the little hole. Now the sim wont fit in the phone and everytime i shake my phone a ting sound comes from the sim card slot. I think it is broken. Where would i be able to fix it? Will warrenty cover that? thanks.

i believe warranty will not cover that considering...
1. you applied force in taking the sim card out..
2. it is not a factory defect
Hello all, i just bought one of these phones on ebay. Im not sure if the SIM slot if working. I put an inactive T-moblie and also an old AT&T sim card in there, but the lock screen shows "No SIM card" with a picture of a sim card with a red exclaimation point underneath that it says "no sim card inserted emergency calls only". I wanted to activate it on T-mobile or Straighttalk, but before i buy a new sim with a months plan i'd like to make sure that its working. Does the phone show this message with an inactive sim card inserted? or only when there is NO sim card inserted. Thanks for any help.

I have two amazes. One had a broken SIM slot. The other was normal.
The one with the broken SIM slot showed the no SIM card even when I used my good SIM card.
One of the guys from the forum sent me the phone to tinker with along with the $9 part. I fixed it and now, with an old non active SIM card in it it shows a cell signal. But no data.And when I try to make a call it goes straight to T-Mobile.
It's a very easy fix if you can get the party and the tiny torx driver to remove the screws.
How much did you spend buying the phone?

Get a new SIM first, then a new SIM slot replacement if it doesn't work.

Check with T-Mobile first, you might need to get a new SIM card.
If a new SIM does not fix the issue, just go with Chevy's suggestion and buy a new SIM part from ebay.com. Make sure you use the right tools, and an anti-static wrist strap may help! :good:
If you bought an Amaze at this point in time for over 130$, you probably didn't get the best deal considering how it isn't working right. I really don't understand why people still are buying Amazes when there's much nicer HTC phones lol.
I tried out a new sim card with an adapter nano to regular and all was good, then swapped back to my regular sim and the phone doesn't recognise the old sim card?
I've tried factory reset didn't work
Trying recovery now
Stuck my sim card into the tablet and it works fine.
Weird thing I stuck a virgin one it works and a three network card also works but will not accept my old sim card again?
The phone was bought unlocked and sim free had it for three years only thing done under warrantee was a USB socket that snapped but HTC did fix that?
Any suggestions or is it just time for a new phone?
Thanks

I have a Motorola DROID RAZR XT912 which I was using with a sim card adapter but when I tried to remove it the sim adapter got stuck so I forced it out and think that something in that slot got bent now I can't insert a sim card in the slot. So what I want to know is that is there a way to repair the sim card slot? also if any one was in a similar situation like this one then please let me know if you were able to get it fixed. Thanks to everyone in advance.
I have this situation, and I am on PagePlus cellular, so it doesn't require me to have a SIM card, but I don't get 4G (I am on 3G right now), and it limits me from using Android Lollipop, as that requires you to have a SIM card to make calls/texts and use data. I don't know how to fix it though...

Every time I put in a sim card, it doesn't click in. I have tried with a T-Mobile SIM card that I cut, and that works (It clicks in place), but I don't want to risk messing it up, so I won't buy a full Verizon SIM card for the time being (I also don't want to mess up cutting it and cut it too large)

Well, I do have a backup phone (HTC Droid Incredible), but it is really slow and the voice quality sucks, so I am stuck with this for now.

Well even I have a backup phone my trusty htc mytouch 4g I think this phone will even outlast me.
So my main phone is the honor 6x and today freedompop sent me a new lte sim too replace my old global sim card. So i figure why not put that one back in the dna which it used too have when it was my main phone...
So i pop it in and it does detect the sim card but the sim card icon up top is displaying a blank sim card and on the notification screen for sim card it keeps saying emergency calls only...
I have all apn settings setup as it was before but no matter what i do i cant get it too detect the sim right...
There is nothing wrong with the sim card cause it works in my honor 6x and even my droid maxx and also droid mini.
I figured i try the tape on the back of the sim card like videos and what i found on google cause it seems like this phone has issues with sim cards sometimes... But nope didn't work:/
Has anyone else had this issue?
I am running dirty unicorns 6.0 rom and im wondering maybe something got mess up on it? even tho i been running it fine sense 2015....
