Has anyone snapped their SIM slot pins using a nano adaptor? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone snapped their SIM slot pins using a nano adaptor?
I have!
If you look at your SIM slot, there are 6 pins, 3 large and 3 small. I've somehow managed to snap the 2 of the small pins. The phone is still working and I am wondering if this will cause any issues?
I'll post pics later, is anyone able to post a pic of their SIM slot just to make sure that what I am saying is actually correct?

you can buy a replacement slot on ebay, it's about five bucks, if it ever stops working. replacing it is also very straightforward
BUT why are you posting in this section? Seems like you have a question

NOPE as a sim holder cannot break itself but you can always ask your phone vendor .

S3 sd card unexpectedly removed?

Didnt drop the phone at all. Could it be that i went to a cold country? Negative 5 and then i'm back in the tropics.
When it happened to me because I dropped it, I bought a new adapter on ebay for like $5 and installed it myself. it's super easy
how to use adapter he is talking about the S3
you take the phone apart and replace the slot. but don't do it if you don't know anything about it

Maybe I don't understand correctly, I didn't find any spare part like this in ebay, maybe I am not lazy, anyways if you are lazy to put a link about an item that you bought or don't want to help others isn't my problem.

Don't ignore the more likely cause of this issue- the SD card is broken.

so screen cracked :\

what to do ? which screen u recommand there cheap one for 16$ in ebay someone tried it ?
my phone felt from not high i block the fall with my shoes and still the screen cracked :crying:
however everything is working
touch.... lcd didnt damaged
thx for any help and sorry for my english
You might be better off leaving it as is. When my screen cracked I found a few threads about replacing it and it messed up a lot of people's phones, leaving the touch screen not working properly.
There was one posted as a tutorial, a search should find it. It might be in the General section rather than this one since it was from before they split out this Q&A section.
if you plan on leaving the cracks i would suggest on getting one of the cheap "screen protectors" that you can find at your mall. that way if the glass gives it wont take your finger with it. IMO

I feel your pain
my screen is also pretty severely cracked. i did purchase a replacement digitizer for when it no longer works. for now, im leaving it alone because of the risk of it not working properly. i did put on a screen protector and even went so far as to put it in an otterbox too, to protect it. my advice is to do the same of similar. it seems the best course of action until the digitizer doesnt work properly anymore, then try fixing the screen.

What's to check? The screen is cracked, there's no missing that. They won't warranty a phone with a cracked screen.

Like I said before,
100 point inspection means they check to see if there are at least 100 working pixels.

The reason you send in your phone does not matter to the warehouse that receives them. They just scan the barcode, which then shows as received in the Verizon system. The warehouse determines what needs fixed and fixes it. Condition of the phone isn't an issue.
So you call tech support. You tell them a speaker blew, which is manufacturer warranty covered = free replacement. You send in the cracked phone. You don't get charged. Profit. Got it?
And I did this within the last month. It works. Always has. From my Eris days to today, always works...

I had a cracked screen and they said no warranty. That I would get charged.
Oh, nm, I see what you're saying now. Well that's taking a chance on being charged I suppose.

i had another customer who did it with a water damaged phone where the outside indicators didn't show it but the internal one did, and they charged him $300

First question the CSR asks is if there is any visible sign of use. IE cracked screen, buttons missing ect.
I don't see how you can get around a crack screen.

I just never mention it... Done it a few times. Never been charged. Maybe I just get lucky. Even if I did get charged, I would dispute the hell out of it and blame FedEx for damaging the package.

ifixit teardown...

is online.

Thanks, was waiting for them to post 6P teardown. Mostly interested in battery replacement down the road.
Looks harder than 5X for sure.
Repairability score of 2? woah replacing the screen is gonna be a pain if it breaks.
Atleast the battery can be replaced with some paitience, hate to see that the visor must be pried open as well.

Woww 2...
My main concern is replacing the battery so the only real challenge here is getting the visor off without cracking it... apply some heat gun magic to soften the glue? I've never cracked a screen yet *knocks on wood* so hopefully that remains a non-issue.
Well that sucks. When putting it back together, what adhesive would you use to re-attach the bottom piece and the visor?

Yeah totally. Looks like the hardware for dual SIM is still there even though the SIM card tray only has one slot... I'm sure someone's going to figure out how to use that eventually. Will probably need a modified SIM tray and some software tweaks.

Second slot was open on a leaked video from Russia before release IIRC. The ones I've seen (USA) have a plastic bar that runs through the inner "holder" part. Wonder if it's going to be as simple as cutting it or maybe they removed the "tray" that sim card actually sits in. Call to arms for someone to take some detailed tray pictures now
should it be as simple as putting "anyone's" activated SIM in the second tray, and then you've got two numbers on your phone? how does Android handle multiple SIMs? do we know? does it set up multiple profiles? i think someone should find out.

You are in the right Section to me! It's part of recovery, not an accessory in generic sense!
It was also able to reboot the tamper counter before, will it do so with the s7 ?

i think the one he has is a pre-made one, he bought it like that, I just made one using 3x100kOhms and 1x1kOhm. Didn't worked tho, maybe the usb cord I found collecting dust in the drawer is broken, will try with another cord.

This was a pre-made one but if I Remer correct it's a 100k resistor contacted to pin 3 and 5.

Still got one I made for the S4, it is 300k Ohm (Or the one I made, 3 x 100k Ohm) across pins 4 & 5 (ID & GROUND)
Or easier, buy one for a couple £ on ebay
Thank you for the correction on that I knew it was 100 something
Can anyone confirm that this really works? My S7 seems to be hard bricked

Asus Mobile Desktop Dock different or same

Is the Asus Mobile Desktop Dock the same as the first one or different? I know they changed the box but is that all as the model of the new one supposedly says zs660kld like the phone while the old one says zs600kld like the 1st gen phone.
Any ideas would be great, if not when is the release for the 2nd model?
Check This youtube video
Linus Tech Tips has a unboxing and review of the ROG II phone and all the accessories.(although he is a ****ty reviewer). There is a part when he gets to the dock where he talks about differences he notices from the old one. But besides that, i dont think there are any differences. Mostly what he talks about is weight and the light on the front and stuff.
---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------
They totally deleted the video, probably because it was so ****ty. Thats hilarious. Anywas i dont know if the new video they made about the phone covers the differences.
I got the old box model ZS600KLD and it works perfectly fine with the ASUS Rog Phone 2.
I don’t know the exact difference between both docks but I can confirm that the old dock works fine with the Rog phone 2.

Yes i seen that video, it was a mess of a review lol. I seen that he said that it was pretty much the same etc. but i am curious on what else has changed for the the model number to have changed and the box, otherwise why re-release the same product? since with the Mobile Professional Dock didn't get re-released but yet compatible with the ROG Phone 2.
I want to know if features are missing/added with the different versions? Has anyone tried this device?
Also is the Mobile Desktop Dock 2 released yet? anyone got it and if not when is it available?

I spoke to ASUS in HOng Kong and they assured me that the Mobile Desktop Dock fro last year can be used with that ROG phone 2.
I even spoke to an ASUS Sales Rep at a store and he said that the dock may very well be the same as last model. May be ASUS just changed the box to match with the box for other accessories.

when you connect your phone to the dock, you will be asked to update the firmware. Did you do that with the first dock?
Both docks are identical. Probably just the software update is needed.

So you have both docks? Can you take a closeup picture of both docks?
Also can you install the Aero case on the phone and then insert the phone in the dock? Can both phones be docked with the aero case on?
Just wondering if the new dock has more space for the case compared to the old dock.

Here are pictures of my Mobile Desktop Dock (ZS600KLD). It is the old model which I got free.
It works fine and I also played a game last night with my keyboard and mouse. I just don't know how to do the key mapping properly. Need to figure it out as I tried it the first time yesterday.
The thing is that I have installed a clear 3M film protection around the phone. This is to help avoid scratches on the phone. Kind of like a clear Slickwraps skin.
When I dock and then undock the phone then there are 2 marks at the back of the phone. Probably because there are these rubber nubs on the dock which are pressing on the back of the phone, which are the cause of the 2 marks at the back of the phone.
I am wondering if the new dock has more space which will avoid making those marks. What do you guys think?
Did you connect the mini usb 2.1 (its a flat usb 2.1 dual connector, similar to the charger port on a Note 3) i heard that is needed to get power but is not included in the box
