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.

its a shame everytime i start a new thread, its usually about mishaps. i have only been lucky with my still kicking HTC TYTN. i luv and respect u a lot. anyway, just paid £300 for a brand new Ameo(HTC ADVANTAGE) yesterday. and just this morning, its been BARRED. tried ringing the seller, but i guess he know he pulled a fast one and his phone number is unreachable. i love the handset still. if anyone is interested in buying pls PM me. never buy a phone off anyone on gumtree. there are all dodgy.Tmobile Customer service has been quite helpful and they did say the will be waiting for the man to make an insurance claim before they deal with him.its a shame they wouldnt gimme back my money. i am guessing this phone wouldnt work in UK.
take out the sim and then change the imei number then put a different sim back in. it should would work

That won't work, the Ameo uses completely unsupported hardware unless I'm mistaken. I hate scumbags like that and I'm sorry to hear of your plight.
My Ameo's on Ebay if you wanna buy a cheap one with extras.

Your phone CAN be unblocked by T-Mobile by authority of the owner, so it might be worth coaxing them into putting pressure on this tosser.
[email protected] is your best port of call.
EDIT:
YOU might not be aware, but despite its blocked status you can still use the handset for Internet browsing. Blocked phones are only blocked against using voicecall/SMS functionality.
i think i just bidded on yours.. that is if its on ebay. So, vodafone texts work, and internet works? just calls that dont?

yeap, its the same handset. you can only send txt with Vodafone but not receive. if you make a good sensible offer, i wouldn't mind ending the auction early for you. the only reason i am giving you preference is because we both belong to the same forum. like state b4, it wouldn't make or receive phone calls.
220? or wait til' the auction ends
for £255, we have a deal. its been unlocked with Olipro thingy and its got the official wm6 tmobile rom on it. its ur call mate. am already losing money on it if i sell it for £255. out of curiosity, how do you intend to pay?
Hello,
A HTC Hero phone I bought from eBay arrived today.
It's said to be a recent replacement for a phone the owner bought from Orange 6 months ago. I got it for my daughter to take to Canada and I guess it will need to be unlocked for this purpose.
I'm a newbie but I've done some reading here over time, which encouraged me to go for this model of phone.
A recurring cautionary tales has been that bricked phones often get sold on, so I want to test the phone for functionality.
The phone seems to be charging ok and switches on fine.
I put my wife's Orange PAYG SIM into it, in the hope of checking phone function but there's a SIM icon with a red X showing on the display from time to time.
Is it that the Orange PAYG SIM is unsuitable for this phone or is it more likely to just be badly inserted or have dirty contacts?
Regards,
Mike
Firstly Orange UK phones are known to have issues unlocking for use on other networks, but its not impossible.
Secondly ensure the sim is locked into place as it can come loose causing sim errors.
An Orange SIM not working in an Orange handset?!
As Lenny already said,... make sure the metal catch that secures the SIM is flicked as far as possible to the left once your SIM is inserted.
If this fails, you'll need to double check it with another Orange SIM.
Hopefully your phone hasn't been reported lost/stolen,... but if it has and you paid by Paypal or your creditcard on ebay then you should have something to fall back on.
P.S... It shouldnt make a difference if the SIM your trying is on contract or PayAsYouGo. If the SIM your trying is working fine in your wife's handset but not in the Hero then it sounds like the HERO maybe dodgey!!!
Thanks for the replies Lennyuk and ddotpatel.
The SIM came good after a few cleanings, polishings and some extra care in fitting, as suggested.
I did check here on the forum last week that the Orange SIMlock could be removed. It does seem to be something of a multi-step process and other network SIMlocks may be a lot easier but I got the clear impression that it could be done fairly easily for a few quid.
I suppose any used phone that comes up for sale could potentially be stolen, eBay goods being no exception. I'll be quite surprised if it is though.
Is there a database of stolen phone serial # that can be checked?
Regards,
Mike
The only way I know of to check if its in be black listed is to either contact the police or the carrier, but obviously if it has been blacklisted then they will know you have stolen goods and will take them away from you.
Fortunately, I'm such a friendly and innocent looking chap, I'll probably get time off for goog behaviour.

Mike

Good day everyone,
I had an Xperia X10 T-Mobile Contract UK, I sold the phone yesterday on eBay. In the item description, I stated that it was locked to T-Mobile.
Anyway, the buyer received the phone today, and said when he inserts a SIM card into the phone, it displays that it needs an unlock code, I told him to try a T-Mobile sim card and he said it is still showing that it needs an unlock code.
How is this possible, it is a T-Mobile phone, therefore any T-Mobile UK sim card should work, my brother also has an X10 T-Mobile Contract phone and I just tried another T-Mobile sim card and it worked in his.
Now the seller is asking for £25 for an unlock code or full refund, I said I will issue a full refund if you send the phone and I receive it like how I gave it to you and I will issue a full refund, but he refused and said I should send the refund first or £25 for unlock code.
Seems to dodgy to me. What do you guys think?
I know I am asking too much but please help me out.
Thanks.
Something is not right here.....
Anyway proper refunding process is that a buyer ships back the phone to a seller first. Don't refund until you get your phone back.

and it says, the buyer should send the phone first before I issue a refund.
Thanks.
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
Anyone know where can i get a sim tray replacement? Lost mine!!:crying:
Looks like these at least used to carry them, might be worth an email? https://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-HTC-Google-Pixel-SIM-Card-Tray-Black-p/htgpsim1blk.htm
Nothing on eBay or Amazon so they're clearly not readily available. Good luck with your search.
