So my SD Slot and Speakers have been broken for awhile due to water damage.
I'm now looking for replacements to fix them with but the SD Slot seems a little confusing.
The Speaker replacements is simple, considering it looks the same for all models, but the SD Slot is a little different. I'm currently looking at replacements but they all carry the SIM slot.
Since I'm on Sprint, I don't need/have a sim slot...

^ This is how it looks in my phone (photo taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797157)
and a replacement looks like this http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_157925_1.jpg
Does anyone have experience with replacing it for Sprint?
You may get better results in the sprint section. We don't really know the answer.
search on ebay. include your model number (which is not i9300, which means you're in the wrong forum)

Hi guys,
I'm just posting this hoping that it will save some phones: I pushed my micro-sim card a little bit to hard in the slot (but only slightly), and it seems to have broken the spring that ejects it.
Now, the SIM does not stay in the slot, it always comes out. I had to block it with a little piece of plastic that holds between the SIM and the battery, and it works fine.
My point: be very careful with that micro-SIM slot!
I would send it in for repair, but i rooted and flashed already...
Just a word of warning !

Nice information mate
Noted. Thanks

I'm thinking of buying an htc hero for $20 but the guy says the sd card slot is broken and doesn't click when you push in the card. Is there a way to fix it? I mean for $20 it seems like a good deal since it's 2.1, still newish and apparently works great. So if I do buy it I'm going to try and fix the spring since my sd card has everything I need from my old phone.
Glue it in place
That might work. Then again it might not.
Just make sure the pins on the SD are touching the pins on the device and it will work, 100%
I am currently on the One XL and got the new micro sim for 4g with that phone. My ONE is shipping with a new sim card according to my order. Is it necessary that I use that new sim card or can I simply pull my current sim and insert it into new phone.
on another note, it s amazing how much I want to refer to an item as the "one", as in current item, and find myself wanting to rephrase as to avoid confusion with the ONE phone. replace the word sim in my previous statement with the typical reference of "one" and imagine the confusion it could've brought

Your existing SIM should work unless HTC did something weird and changed the size of the SIM. But I doubt it. My same SIM has worked on the One X, One X+ and LGOG.
HTC One uses a micro SIM, so you shouldn't have to change anything except pop your old sim out and put it into your shiny new phone.
I need to find a replacement SIM/ SD module (a small part which contains the slots the SIM and SD chips go in) for a Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L. I am not sure whether parts for the T999 would be compatible with the T999L. The part is everywhere for other model numbers, but replacement parts for the T999L seem impossible to find. Is it possibly the same part as the T999? I wouldn't know. I have searched high and low for the answer to this seemingly simple question, and I'm the only person I know of to ever raise this question on the internet, which I think is just funny.
Thanks for any any answers.

I tried to do a mother board swap from a t999 to a t999l but the bezels don't line up but the screen and digitizer should be compatible...
Let me know how that turned out. There is 2 pins missing from the sim tray on a T999L and I see that I can buy the T999_ but I'm not sure if I'm about to eat $10
I currently have an HTC Inspire. It's gettin old in that many apps that are coming out don't support the gingerbread operating system. I'm at the point where I need to get another phone. I decided on getting a Desire 610, but it uses a nano sim card, and the Inspire uses the old standard sized card. I've seen some do it yourself videos where people are cutting down the edges of their old cards and using them in newer phones. What do you 610 owners think about that? Remember, the inspire uses the old sized SIM cards, and I haven't seen any net successes of anyone cutting those down to nano sized. Or...........should I just foot the bill and buy a new nano card. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You don't have to buy one. Go to your nearest carrier store, and they'll swap your number to a new card for free. I've done it multiple times.
There are tools that resize SIM to nano SIM with the blink of an eye.
DO NOT use them.
SIM is thicker than nano SIM.
The risk is that you have (big) problems the day you want to take the SIM out because the phone has to go to repair.
If you really want to cut it then do not push it all the way in afterwards or use sand paper to make it thinner before (backside of course).
