Hello Folks,
I have accidentally broken the G5 Sim Card Tray. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase another one from?
Regards,
- Harris
HI harroldo seems these boneheads don't wanna at least give an opinion. I have to say if it was psychically damaged your best bet is going to a electronic shop that has a rework station of sorts and before going
order the part so that they won't try to over charge you for it then let them do their job.
Has anyone found out where they sell the replacements? I sent my phone to get the screen repaired to LG and they lost the sim tray and they say the do not sell it nor can they send me one. So my phone is useless until then, any info on this?

If they lost it, they will have to replace it for you, it's BS for them to say they can't get you one.

That's BS. If they genuinely can't replace the tray, they will need to give you a new phone.

My LG G5 would not turn on a few days after purchase. Purchase was made outright. When getting the phone back from LG warranty (some 6 weeks after purchase), the sim card tray was gone..... I called LG and they transferred me to Best Buy where I purchased the phone. I cannot get any help from the store where I purchased or through LG directly.
Do yourself a favor and don't buy this phone. LG are not a company that deserves loyalty or your hard earned cash.
website such as ebay or aliexpress can help you! There are plenty

I just purchased a used Atrix online. When I put in my sim and tried to type in the carrier unlock code, I wasn't able to enter it because I found that there were dead spots on the screen.
Note this is pretty much right out of the box. The only thing that I can think of that might have messed it up is that I stuck my nail in the crack between the side and the screen and moved it along the length of the phone to get some dirt accumulated there out.
What I'm wondering is if I have royally screwed up my digitizer b/c of what I did and if there is a way to fix it? Or do you think i was sent a dud?
I've got the same. The same things are with other Motorola phones like Defy or Milestone.
I've send my Atrix to service
Thanks for the response. Sorry for not doing a search ahead of time. Looks like this is fairly common.
Try warranty. I bought a used one, had the same problem, called in and they replaced it. I didn't tell them I bought it used, nor did they ask. Sent me out a new phone, not a refurbished one.

Oh really? Warranty through AT&T or Motorola?
I use Motorola, they send out new phones, AT&T send out refurbished phones. I found Motorola easy to deal with. I bought my phones used, they didn't ask, and I didn't offer the info. They replaced 2 phones for me.
Another digitizer thread about the atrix. Nothing new here, move along people.
Hello
I bough what it looks like a brand new i717 on craigslist at @ $200. It is in pristine condition, boxed with all the accessories including a genuine flip case... everything fresh and still smelling like new. It has a bad IMEI though.
The seller said it was a display unit on an AT&T store and that they block the IMEIs of the phones that are removed from the display counter. The guy even had an AT&T t-shirt... Truth or lie? I don't know, it still seemed a great deal to me and I bought it anyway since I've seen them on ebay selling well above $300 in "used" (all scratched up) condition.
So, I have two questions:
-Is it true that a blocked IMEI will work overseas? (I also took the risk on buying it because I will move overseas in a few months)
-Is there anything I can do to use it now with my T-Mobile account?
Thanks
Not sure about it working overseas. No experience.
But you could also sell it to somebody who wants to use it on T-Mobile USA since a bad AT&T IMEI doesnt matter on T-Mo
Looks like you are screwed unless you can find stuff to manage stolen phones... I'd take our as a lesson of "if it looks too good to be true..."

Really? I thought AT&T and T-mobile shared a blacklisted IMEI database. Can anyone confirm if it will work with T-mobile?
If you unlocked it, it can work overseas and if you root it and flash t mobile blaze ics modem you can use it on T-Mobile like what I'm doing now getting hspa speed

I have two questions, are you trying to call at&t and have them turn the phone on or are you just putting a sim card in and its not working? And if you did put a working at&t sim in without calling what did it say or do on the phone?

No, I haven't called At&t at all... I don't think I'm going to have any luck asking them to fix the imei of a blacklisted phone that I boought on Craiglist... I do have a T-mobile sim but I haven't inserted it yet. Why? because I have read many times that if you insert a sim on a phone with a blocked imei they will block the sim card automatically...

Oh that sucks. I will unlock it and take it with me overseas... I guess I shouldn't have any problems using it there (Lima, Peru).
Ok this sucks even more. A friend grabbed the phone and inserted his own AT&T sim card just to "see what happens"... his line got automatically suspended. It didn't even work when inserted the sim back to his own phone. Of course this has just happened a few minutes ago (Saturday night when customer service is closed).
I will call customer care tomorrow. Do any of you guys know what are the steps to restore the line? Is it just a simple call or does he need to buy a new sim?
Thanks
whoa that sucks. i didnt know they are that quick to take action.
That is a great way to screw with people that try to steal phones...

I agree. He called ATT this morning and his line was suspended as "lost or stolen". The rep never said anything about using the sim on a blacklisted device or anything similar. They restored his service right away,
Anyway... my i717 is now stored and I won't mess with it until I move overseas. Beware of inserting your sim on an blacklisted device!
Not to hijack your thread, but a "friend" of mine just stole a brand new note from best buy and wants me to help him unlock and root it. Not that I really care about best buy (and I really don't care that he stole it) but I'm thinking on refusing on general principle just because his actions raise the prices of phones and service for the rest of us. What would you do?

I'd tell your friend, that if he was clever enough to steal it, then he should be clever enough to get a job and buy one... the thieving little socialist.
In the principle of helping anyone root their phone, I'd not do it for them. I would help them read and learn how to do it, as that helps general understanding of what they are doing and may eliminate future help calls.

Have you tried using it on Straight Talk? Its att so it probably wouldn't work. Just an idea.
Want to sell it? I'll buy it from you. Mine has a dead pixel and while its annoying it's not bad enough for me to buy a new $220 screen.

I wouldn't have a friend like this. Can't stand a f'n thief. I'm an anti-cop kind of person but I've been ripped off and it sucks. Tell him to kiss your as#. I hope he gets busted when he puts a sim in it.

Agreed
XDA is no longer worth my time.
Cell Spa sales stolen phones
Unfortunately I bought a Galaxy S2 in September from a cell phone store (" Cell Spa" in Sugar Land Texas) that sales stolen Phones. I was able to call AT&T and told them to release my SIM card and they did. They told me the IMEI on the phone was linked to a stolen phone so basically there was nothing I could do. They are not concerned about returning the phone to the original person who claimed the theft so I'm stuck with a blacklisted phone????:crying:
What was that line from Forrest Gump? Oh yeah, "stupid is as stupid does". Anyone that buys or sells stolen phones, gets what they deserve. Remember....it was stolen from someone that actually paid money for it!

Nope, you got screwed. Chances are it hadn't been reported lost/stolen, by the rightful owner, before you bought it, or the person who sold it to you, reported lost/stolen, and filed an insurance claim, after they sold it to you.
Changing IMEIs is illegal, btw.

You are the proud owner of a small WiFi tablet
Should work great as a small WiFi tablet, though.

If possible.... That phone could go to one of our devs... Don't think they have a Verizon one.
Although I'm sure you're more than pissed off about it and that's the last thing on your mind right now.
Sorry you got hosed

Sorry OP got burned.
As a side note.
DON"T BUY PHONES ON CRAIG'S LIST!!!!!!
Unless you meet at a Verizon store, don't even think about it.
If you say meet at a Verizon store, a thief will pass.
Personally, I say use -> http://swappa.com/
I have bought 4 phones there and sold 3 and never had an issue.
They check the IMEID and also check to see if the phone is tied to an account.
Swappa is definitely the way to go .

tmobile devices from craigslist are tricky. I wouldnt do it. You can finance tmobile devices now so they could still be paying for it, sell it to you, pocket the money and then stop paying for it. The device would then stop working.
I'd be very cautious. There would be no way of knowing whether the watch has suffered any type of serious water damage. Also, some people will buy a T-Mobile device on a payment plan and may try to sell the device before the device has been fully paid off.
Hi everyone,
Today I received my Le Max 2 from an Aliexpress seller, the problem is it didn't come with a sym tray.
I'll buy one from china, but it will take too much time to arrive and I won't be able to test the phone before the purchase protection ends.
So I was wondering if any of you fellow guys have a spare sim tray?
Maybe your phone is broken and you don't use it anymore and you can send me your sim tray? It would be a huge favor. I'll be happy to ship you the new one when I will receive it. I hope so much that someone in the community has a spare one :good:
First, if your phone came incomplete (even if it's something as simple as the sim tray) you shouldn't accept it as good. How can you be sure the seller tested your phone before sending it, if it came without a sim tray? I think you should use Aliexpress' protection this time.

Yes I'm contacting the seller, but I know I won't receive a full refund without shipping back the phone, which costs at least 30€.
So I wanted to see if someone of the XDA community can help me solving the issue faster and cheaper.
I will obviously pay for the shipping of the tray, and I will send a new one to the person who helped me as soon as I receive the one I bought from China.
