Do any of you have faced any problem trying to remove the microSIM card? I press it down, but it doesn't pop out from the tray. I think the spring is either missing or broken.... :crying: am I the only one who have had that problem? anyone knows how to fix it?
I think there is no spring, just pull the SIM out!

Thanks! But, then, it is veeeeery difficult to pull it out and I think I'll end up breaking the SIM!
Do you use any accessory for removing the microSIM?

Sometimes my fingernails are enough, but in most cases i use pincers for it.
open the slot's cover and look from the back for a spot where you can hold
the SIM best, the pull it gently out in the correct direction.
Don't be too carefully, the SIM is a bit flexible!
I have a constant problem where my sim card keeps coming out. Everytime I open the cover the sim card is half way out of the slot.
What are you guys doing pulling your sim card out and breaking the socket?
I haven't removed my sim or sd card since I bought the phone except to check to make sure I had the correct size sd card the day I bought it.
Once i put my microsd card in the Sim card slot by mistake and it fits perfectly except that it doesn't spring out when pressed.
Had to use a tweezer to pull it out.
And yes both Sim card and microsd card slots have spring ejects when pressed.

I got the cell already with that problem I gess. I put my microSIM card when I bought it and I didn't notice that the spring was missing till I had to travel to other country and I tried to remove my microSIM card in order to introduce other microSIM card of that country for using 3G without paying roaming...
I'd like to fix it, but I've asked in some stores and they don't know how to repair it :S
Warranty repair sounds like the best option if you are still under warranty.

Unfortunately I don't have the receipt, so no warranty
Besides, I'm in Europe, and paying the shipping + waiting 3 weeks for getting it back.... even if I had the warranty, I'm not sure if I'd use it.

Not sure where you bought your phone at. Have you taken it to a tmobile store and have them try? It could be a defect.
No it has been working just fine for like 10 months now for some odd reason it sometimes holds it and sometimes not

thats really odd.... when you insert the sdcard can you feel the spring engage? does the lock engage?(feel a little click after spring is compressed)? do you unmount the external_sdcard often? maybe things have just worn down....(i've only removed the sdcard a few times stepped up from the 2G, to a 8G, currently patriot class10 16G) but never had any problems with any external_sdcard staying in place.
take that bad boy apart!! its just some phillips screws i imagine its just a spring issue. I was gonna do the "hardware GPS fix" tonight so i'll take a look at the setup while im in there if there isn't a fix posted by then.

namadrider123 is correct it sounds like a easy phone replacement from tmobile that should be the #1 fix option for this problem (or any hardware problem for that matter) always attempt to get hardware defects replaced under warranty before you go messing with stuff yourself (good rule of thumb!)
It holds it sometimes but the little click thing isn't holding it. For now it is but if I take it out it will be hard to push it back in.

It was suggested you take it in to get it looked at, might need to be replaced. Or just fixed
We're comin from a pure power source.
Alright then thanks anyway

I was swapping out batteries and wasn't paying that close attention and something snapped. The freaking SD card broke in the phone. I have half an SD card in the phone that I am unable to bring out. And the phone doesn't recognize the card anymore either.
Any ideas on what to do now? This sucks balls. Anybody have any experience getting at the card area?
Someone mentioned in another thread to try to use a safety pin to slide the card out.

I tried to search to find something anything but nothing came up.
Maybe superglue a toothpick to the remaining piece of the sd card if you can? then pull it out?

No worries. I wasn't calling you out or anything. I was just remembering this thread and the similarities.

i just did that and now I get no SIM card inserted, **** don't know what I played with
yeah i noticed too how far the sd card sticks out.
yeah so opening up the phone was a snap, pretty easy, but in the process of dislodging the card from the behind, I probably messed up the connection so now the phone won't recognize the card.
Not a big deal, I feel like I have a Galaxy Nexus now.
so instead of 16 gb you only got 8 gb left???
So randomly this morning I'm using the phone and all of a sudden I see a mounting SD card. So it works now.
Keep the hope alive.

I keep getting this message on my s3for the past 2 days. The phone boots up few seconds later the message pops up saying the network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid Sim . It's been working fine and I haven't changed a thing. I I'm on stock rom with siyah kernel

Is your phone branded? Does your sim match the brand?

Remove the Sim, clean the contacts (physical ones, not the phole numbers) and re-insert it.

[SIM card removed]
Hi Everybody,
I had the same problem on my Xperia Arc S. Remove the SIM card and press the socket with your finger to make it tighter. If it's not enough you can put a piece of paper next to the SIM. It seems to be working for me.
Best wishes,
Peter

Whoa, this thread is 5 months old...
I would like to use my Rezound as well as my gs3. I bought a sim card adapter. When I put the card micro sim into the rezound it says no sim is installed. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm using a micro-sim with an adapter in my Rezound as well. It will even work without the adapter if you're careful. I'd say give it the old take it out and put it back in. It's a little tricky keeping it properly seated in the adapter when you're installing it. If you bought the phone used, it may just have a bad SIM card slot.
Not used. Have adapter. Tried about 15 times with and without the adapter . No luck. Damn verizon and their different sized cards.

If is works in your GS3, then I don't have anything else. Sorry!
For some crazy reason I cannot get the SIM card out of my LGOG, does anyone have any suggestions?

Came in to say this. It was funny watching the Best Buy Manger try to put it in and take it out. He had no idea what he was doing until I told him he had it upside down and the wrong way in

Now that's pretty funny! Part of my issue is from the fact I used a SIM cutter to move the SIM from another phone. I was able to push it in further and then use my fingernail to gently pull it out. Thanks for the help!
It's definitely difficult to press in. It seems to sit further in than the MicroSD. My fingernail wouldn't work, I've had to use a paperclip.
