dumb reply. You need the new micro SIM with some carrier to be able to use the LTE network. And some phones need the adapter.
This one is 2$, I dont know if its reliable.

I did google it first. I did not find anything. It may be easy for you to find because you already know the answer. The phrases I choose to search with netted no results. BTW you were being an ass and you know it.
Thanks for all the other replies.

you really cant afford a 2$ (free shipping) adapter ???

Careful with adapters. Some of them are quite thick. Also sometimes they do get caught on the sim pins you try remove them. I use a thin piece of plastic or cardboard cut to the size of a sim for extraction. Slide it between the sim and the pins and pull both out. I have had the best luck using a punched full size sim as an adapter.

Just slide the micro sim without adapter it works if u have nothing i use it on my nokia e71 straight talk phone all the time.

I just got one of those cheap adapters and you can easily ruin your phone by tearing out the pins if you don't remove it carefully.
Also, you can stick the micro sim in there without an adapter and it holds pretty well, but it definitely could come loose. If you're just playing around this is the better thing to do over risking ruining your phone's SIM pins.

[Q] sim/sd slot broken

Hi There,
Is there any way to replace it, the door/flap to the sd card/sim card? It's not quite broken but it wont stay closed anymore...meaning it is quite hard to use the phone without a protective case.

I can't see anyone in there right mind needing 6 batteries, multiple cases, battery covers,...ect. Seems a bit overkill in my opinion maybe if you don't like something (case) return it instead of buying a few more?

Verizon i605 with QI standard Wireless charging

Ok,I cut two squares out of the plastic to expose the charging contacts.
This is confusing, it looks clean though

Looks like he cut two squares out of the plastic to expose the charging contacts. If anyone sells parts for these we could just buy the plastic from a variant that comes with access holes and put it on the Verizon version.

The last person i recall trying to swap the rear frames ended up with no LTE and no wifi. :crying:
It looks strightforward, but i would definitely like some more detail from the OP.
Did you have to add an copper material to the charging contacts in order for them to make contact with the QI terminals?
Unless our phones differ then yes he added material I did a similar process works great
Any1 trying this you need to be very careful
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
What did you add? It seems like it would be easier and safer to add a good bead of solder to each terminal on the QI piece. This way if you do make a mistake you're ruining the charging accessory and not the phone.

From my experience doing this via the copper tape method, he would've not only had to do this but attached the charging pins to the motherboard that are seen through the mid piece as well.

LOL are you [email protected]#ing kidding me. Verizon blocked up the contacts with plastic on their version of the phone, but left the actual internals the same?
WHY.
"Herp derp here let's take this amazing internationally launched phone and derp it down to our herp level." Stupid [email protected]#ing morons.
Ye I dont get it is it just under all thi

Sure.
I solder two stock contacts on the motherboard.
And cut two square holes in the plastic frame.
Buy a N7100 QI wireless charging back cover.
With any QI standard charging pad.

I've also been wondering where one can get those pins. I've not had much luck sourcing them.

Lmao, seriously. Verizon provides good service only because they invested in lte instead of another technology, unlike the other carriers, and lte won. I don't even care that they put their name on everything.they can do whatever they want with that respect. But they make some stupid decisions sometimes..stupid for the consumer at least. I can't guess what they benefit from doing that

Does the back cover for wireless charging sacrifice nfc functionality? Might have been why big red decided to not include it on our 605s... They try to do the thinking for us and protect us from ourselves

Xperia Z Ultra Sim slot tray

My sim slot tray for the xzu is cracked ive noticed that my sim is not secure in there because my service will go out intermittently. I've looked on the Web but I'm not sure if they would work. any suggestions guys and ladies? The ones I've seen costs $10 plus shipping. That's crazy for a piece of plastic

I'd say that $10 sounds reasonable, as it is something not very common. If you had an iPhone or something more common, then I'd agree with you, but this is something that few enough people will buy to justify such a price.

That's cheap enough. Only worried about whether it works with a case - both in fitment and whether the charging pin is long enough to plug in still with certain cases.
Good price but it's a cheap product from China that make me worried for my note 3.

That one's smaller, not designed for the Note 3, connector is also the old USB 2.0 design
That cheaper plug still works (N2 plugs, etc still work on N3 just not USB3)
However, thats making the phone stand up on its own weight almost & is puttting more stress on the plug then there really should be (hence the cheapness, bad not thought out design) I actually had a iphone 5 dock from china that I got for $4 the lightning plug snapped off from the phones free standing weight.
Ive owned those cheapy chinese docks for other phones, and...Honestly NOT worth the money even at that price. Finding one that has actual support behind the phone would be better...

Not sure which one you have but the one posted here has back support. I use a Ringke Slim Case which perfectly snugs in the dock.
EDIT: I however just tried using my spigen bounce case and it wouldn't fit Good thing I stop using that case.
