Phone arrived just now and I feel like an idiot. SIM CARD - AT&T LG Optimus G

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.
WHiskey Tango Foxtrot...

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?

Download mode clicking

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.

So my SD card broke in the phone

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.

Have you S-Offed?

Just curious, since someone asked over in Q&A if S-On devices will still be supported, how many people are staying or not.
to me, the whole physically taking wires and jumping those pins is what turns me off to it.
i remember s-offing my inc, and just running that one click program...meh, if something like that comes along, i'll do it..but as for right now, i'm a bit weary of it
Yep, its a super easy, painless process. I have done it on 2 Rezounds so far, took me 2 tries on the first and I got it on the first on the second.
Yes, wasn't easy at first, just took patience & making sure the tiny pin connection actually got touched.
Do you still need to do the HTC dev unlock to get s off?

You have to be unlocked and rooted to do it, then once you s-off it will switch the bootloader back to locked.
Got it done. It wasn't nearly as hard as it was made out to be.
Did it Saturday night... Took me more time to back up my internal memory then anything. I had a spare SD card also.
Not yet.... waiting for a free block of time... perhaps this weekend
yup - took all of like 5 minutes - I used a paperclip wrapped with some electrical tape

Did the same thing...never had to leave my computer desk! Now I have a prison shank and nothing to do with it.
I felt compelled to be free. I did s-off on both my phones. It feels great to nandroid back and forth now.

I S-offed twice this morning.
Mmmmm.....Soledad O'Brien.

Did it wipe your card? I did it yesterday and it didnt wipe my card and I even did a backup in amon ra to see if that still worked and it did.

I hear this a lot and after doing it , I have no idea how you could screw it up ..not you in particular..just in general its really clear in the instructions what 2 points to touch.

Yeah, it's pretty generous to call it circuitry in this instance! I mean, it is, technically you're completing a circuit.
Anyway, 90% uptake is pretty solid!

Remove SIM Card from phone

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.

The rezound finally died.

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?
