[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkit:
Hi,

I put a nano sim adapter into my brand new razr I, and when I removed it, it got caught on 2 of the pins, and pulled them out the sim card slot. The phone will no longer read a sim card.

I also imported my phone overseas (South Africa) and bought it off ebay.

1) Is there a way to get this phone fixed? They don't sell the Razr I in my country (hence why I needed to import it). Is there maybe a similar phone that shares a sim card holder?

2) Can just the sim card slot be replaced or does a whole part of the phone need replacing?

Thanks for the help!

hi1 i have the same problem, you can fix you phone? how you do ?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unilqadium:
Hi guys.

It ´s highly possible, that the SIM slot is similar or identic to other phones slots. So If you find some good mobile phone service, They really can look at it and maybe change for new one for lets say from $20 to $50 including work... You just have to try....

I have a micro sim in my s3 but I'm gonna sell the phone and switch back to the g2 in the mean time. I wanna know can I reactivate my old g2 sim card? Or do I need a new one if so I could possibly keep the micro for the s3 and reactivate it for the Nexus when I get it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruinkhan:
Once you activate a new SIM, your old one gets de-activated automatically. Which means that your old SIM is a peace of trash now as it wont be able to activate again.

Gotcha so can I just go to a tmobile store and get a micro sim for free? Or do they charge for it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
the reason for Dream and Andromeda not booting ur phone is that, if ur paranoid rom version was latest, then it comes with the new JB mali drivers for which only Dori v7.4 and siyah v5.0 are compatible:)

since u have already messed up too much with ur phone, u can try the 'KIES' option as the last resort to restore it back, since odin flash is not wrk'ng for u:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel Smedegaard Buus:
Okay, so I tried installing Kies and connecting it. A variety of connection attempts, but it just won't connect to the device.

But, I'm making some progress! I've found that when I can get the phone to boot into the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." screen, I can get Odin to flash the stock Gingerbread image (still won't in download mode). And I then get a reboot with the regular Samsung boot splash (no yellow triangle) - except it never gets past it. After about a minute, it'll go black and then boot back up to the same splash screen and the same problem.

This is the exact same image I've used previously to revert the device to stock. So I was kinda hoping to see a normal clean. But unfortunately no donut. It reminds me of a computer I once bricked by screwing with its BIOS - it never got beyond POST and so I couldn't reflash it.

Is there something like a BIOS in this thing that could've gotten damaged in some way? And if so, is there any way to use Odin or another tool to fix that?

Cheers,

Daniel :)

Being from Texas and hurricane survivor since 1961 you are lucky you are on Verizon and have any signal. After the hurricane FEMA commandeers bandwidth. Between this and down towers Verizon is only carrier left with anything usable. Verizon only thing working here after hurricane. All others have no signal at all or you have to keep trying till you can fall in line for quick call before getting cut off. Forget data altogether. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Macros617:
Hm, I'm in the South Bronx (le hood if you will) and I had complete 4G with no outage all throughout the night and through today. Maybe just something affecting the upper area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dennisi01:
Generally the reason service seems to get worse after a storm is because cell sites go on generator or battery when the power outage hits. It t-shirt takes hours for the juice to run out but when it does that's when you notice the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] patt2k:
Oh that makes a lot of sence thanks a lot for that info!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
My guess is some towers were taken off for repair. After playing around for a bit I'm able to get 4G on one side of my apartment but not the other (the one that has always worked for me even through the storm). Might actually be a local issue here but probably still affects a few customers in upper NYC area.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsangel:
I'm also on Staten Island, by Forest & Richmond. I've had a weak 3G signal on my S3 since yesterday. My iPhone 4S is practically unusable also. Fails on a lot of text messages, and calls can barely hold. My girlfriend said it sounds like I'm in the Battery Tunnel every time we speak. Imagine my embarrassment after mocking my parents who had no signal with their MetroPCS phones, and now I can barely receive a timely text on either of my phones.

The weather widgets on my lock screen and homescreen have pulled in data from Jersey City, Elizabeth, and Bayonne in the last few days. I think it's picking up from the strongest tower nearby at random.

My FiOS has been spotty also. I think I saw ABC7 scroll info about Verizon Communications getting hit hard during Sandy. Might take a few days before we're good again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scorchedsky:
4G is out on a lot of Long Island too...I usually have strong 4G all the way in to work, now I'm in Manhassett and can't even get 1X (usually get ~90 dBm 4G). Couldn't send any texts yesterday at all. Hopefully they'll come back as power comes back, we still don't have traffic lights or anything.

Got back to work on Wednesday in Fairfield NJ and 4g was gone and 3g is spotty as hell. I'm not the only one in the building with the issue either.

At home well... I almost never get signal anyway. Still fighting verizon about that one, my droid charge had signal in my house.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssnapier:
That is partially true, but they have been working hard to develop a public safety specific network to prevent the need for that kind of thing. It used to be an absolute necessity, but with these public safety networks being stood up the "regular" network is far less affected by those types of uses.

another similar question that may lead me to the correct answer - Got mine at office depot for $249 last night. That's MSRP. Is the MSRP of the 3g higher?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhomiec:
i can safely say that not all 32 GB models come with 3G.

and yea, there's a $50 difference. $249 without 3G VS $299 with 3G. you most likely got the non-3G one.

PS. i get the refresh thing sometimes too. the only fix i have come across is to close all windows/tabs for XDA, then re-visit the site.

There are dozens of recipe apps out there that let me search tens of thousands of recipes online and then cook with them. However, I'm looking for one that will let me store my own recipes. It could also have the search feature too, but that's not what I'm looking for.

It should also have a website interface as well as a phone interface. Entering in dozens of recipes would be far easy on the PC than on the phone.

Maybe some of the big name recipe search sites also let you do your own recipes, but I never see that listed in the features.

If anyone can recommend anything, that be great.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] TekGadgt:
Evernote

I would suggest an app called Evernote. I wouldn't call it a recipe app, but you could use it as one. You make an account and then you can access your notes (in this case recipes) from the phone app or the computer, and edit from each. It is part of the app store, just look it up, and has a website that is simple enough to google and find. I hope you enjoy it. Happy cooking.:)

Thanks. I actually saw a few people recommend Evernote for that as I was doing some more searching yesterday. I'll have to give it a try. :)

Hey Guys,

I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.

Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom. :(:(:(

I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
