When I insert a regular sim or usim in my P7500, the small cover can't be closed. Pretty annoying when the sim slides out enough for the connection to cut, and on top of it all, the device has to be rebooted for the SIM to be accepted again. Anyone else with this problem? Don't know if it's worth to send it for repair. Maybe you won't get it back thanks to Mr Jobs?

Your sim card is not properly locked in, i had this issue until i used a coin to push it further in. After that the proper lock-in "click"-sound was heard and the sim card was secure.
Oh, so there is a locking position? Didn't dare to press any harder since I thought it would stuck for good. Thanks for the hint!

No Problem, I had the same excact problem before I tried to press it deeper.
I use my phone with a sim cutted by me and it works good (its shorter ),and i tryed to sell the phone everything went smooth and then the man came back showing me that the phone will not hold the microsim inside (vodafone microsim corect size).
And my question is how cand i repair it ,shoud a i buy something or just do some procedures .
Yes the SIM reader can be replaced, take it to a service center.
buy the slot on ebay and replace it, very easy
Also you could check the slot contacts, check them for alignment etc, torch, magnifying glass and needle needed

there is none available for the SHV-E210L
then get one for a i9300 and try
Hello, im new here but I have seen over the years that this is the place to come to fix cell phone issues and the such. My issue is this, I have just received an ATT HTC ONE, I bought it off Ebay. The phone itself phisically is in mint condition, but the problem is whenever I put a sim card in it, it just wont read it. Im overseas, I have already bought the unlock code for the phone but I get no chance to enter it because the phone wont detect a sim no matter what I do. I have tries puting several different sim cards and no go, I even had a spare ATT sim card and no go. I have just tried the "tape fix" but the phone wont recognize my sim. Is there anything else that I can try or do? I have flashed phone software in the past (droid dna) so if thats what would take to fix this I would do it. Im overseas and returning this to ebay for a refund would not be an option for me. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
I had the same issue and it solved after they replaced the sim tray, but I bought the phone from ATT so I was under warranty.
You might try to get it repaired there, but they might charge you. Or try buying a replacement sim tray off ebay or amazon (I don't know if they sell it or not)

Sim cards can go bad as well. I would go to an AT&T store and they will replace your sim card for free.
Thanks, I did try several sim cards that I had lying around and none of them worked. I have just gotten of the phone with HTC tech support and they are sending me a replacemente sim tray, hope that fixes the problem. Will have to wait 4 looooong weeks without a phone tough...
It happened to me last night. I restarted my phone and it worked normally. Haven't happened since.
Sent from the "ONE" phone for me
You can buy a new simtray for $2.30
They sell lots of other parts for the HTC One as well.

You might want to flash the stock RUU, might have a bad radio flash or something odd.

Oh..ok.. well I dont think new sim tray would be the solution.
I have two HTC One. And I tried putting the sim tray of working HTC ONE into this one and nothing happened.. same issue.
I have couple queries though : Was ur phone's software modified in any way when u recieved it ? I mean was the phone unlocked, rooted etc ?
If yes, did u tried flashing a RUU on it and see if it solves the issue
So I finally found the solution to my problem.. apparently its something related to sim not aligning properly in the socket.
Tape-fix didnt worked for me too and nor did the RUU. Then I tried something different.. I had my iphone 5's nano sim and put it in a plastic nano-to-micro sim adapter and put that in.. it snug in very tight and hurray, the sim got detected. Got the unlock code and its working now !!!!
With this experiment I think I also found out whats ur issue might be too. We often cut the sim using the sim-cutters which are often not perfectly sized but works with most phones. I suggest either try using my method if u can or get a retail micro-sim from a service provider and try that.. it should work.

Agreed, but it does happen. The last batch of T-Mobile Nexus 4's my company purchased, 2 out of 16 had an issue where the SIM's weren't being read due to pin misalignment issues inside the slot. We were able to replace them.

Waiting for your reply mate.. Pl do asap.
Hi there,
This is my first post in XDA. I bought a used Verizon Z2 tablet and was very excited about using it, until I figured out that the tablet is missing the Sim Tray to activate it with Verizon. From then I have been researching online to find a spare sim tray.
1) Does the Z2 support Micro Sim or Nano?
2) I am not able to find a spare nano sim tray online, Can anyone help me to find a link where I can buy it?
3) If one of the forum members are using the tablet just for Wifi, Can you lend me your sim tray, I will be really thankful for your Help.
Thanks for any help in Advance. U guys really ROCK :cyclops:

I suspect this would work but I can't say for 100% sure. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SIM-Holder-...123?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25941e372b
I already tried a similar one from ebay. It didn't even fit in the slot that my tablet has. Thanks for your help though
Can anyone atleast attach a picture of their sim tray on this post. It will really help me identifying next time if I come across one.
