It locks in, push in a little further to eject.

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.

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

Anyone ever go into download mode and notice that their phone is making a 'clicking' noise. Really the only way to describe it. If the phone isn't in download mode, no clicking when connected to the USB cable.
Yeah, I've heard it before as well. I just imagine it's tiny little Samsung elves laboring away inside the phone, making $#!t happen.
It's the hard drive.

I get it too, but usually after installing a rom while rebooting.
Thats just the loudspeaker given short spurts of electricity. Or sparks inside your phone that makes the battery explode, not sure.
Its the LTE radio trying to connect to the towers so your phone can boot up to 10X faster than 3G boot times.
It's the BEATS hardware giving you a little somtin-somtin while you wait.
Its the awesomeness of this phone banging against the glass trying to get free
This thread makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

This phone has a hard drive? I always wondered what that spin-up noise was.

I don't normally post just to post...but had to say I LOL'ed a couple times. Wonder which one of these is true?
Maybe ALL of them! YES!
Sat here and tried to come up with my own add on...but I can't match those.
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.

How the heck do you get the sim card to stay in? It won't click into place.
As soon as I open the little door, the card pops out.

Haha, I felt the same way when I first got it. Don't be afraid to push that thing ALL the way in as far as it'll go. it will sit. You'll get the hang of it, 10-4?

I have been using my Rez as a dashcam for a few months since getting the S4 and during the last cold snap it killed it. I walked out to the car and it appeared to be charging, then tried to power on and it kicked the bucket. No lights, sounds, nothing. Tried swapping batteries, and still can't get it to respond. Oh well, RIP Rezound.

Oh, I definitely don't want to trash it. I would like to get it back up and running so I don't have to buy an actual dashcam.

If you don't mind me asking, what app are you using with it to make it a dash cam?
