Mate 10 international version:
I'm having an issue with the sim card tray not sitting flush with the side of the phone. It's slightly popped out, which is causing random sim card errors (phone not registering sim card unless I press on the tray). I've tried re-setting it with/without the sim card in it to no avail. Is anyone having this issue? Does anyone have a photo of their sim card tray sitting flush with the side of the phone?

Mine wasn't at first, thought it was the sim cards that was the problem so removed the tray and installed them again but same issue so I applied some force and now the tray goes flush with the side of the phone.

Mine is perfectly flush.
Thanks for the replies. I'm wondering if it's the sim tray or the actual slot that's causing the issue.

Hello Everyone,
Today, I was trying to clean my Galaxy S2 and so I attempted to remove the Micro SD card (probably for the second time ever since I bought the phone). Anyways, quite gently I removed the card but after cleaning and putting everything back together, I tried to insert the card back but it wouldn't lock with the card slot and as a result, the micro SD card would not get mounted and I wouldn't be even able to put the battery back on since the card does stick out a bit. Anyways, being a fool I tried to jam it in and yes the battery went in and the phone started but I reckon I damaged the card slot even more than it was previously damaged.

I have tried everything. I disassembled the phone's rear end and tried to see if I could tinker with the lock in the card slot but to no avail. I believe the slot is directly attached to the mainboard and as a result, I haven't been able to do anything else about it. I believe the lock in the slot has been damaged and so, it won't take in the card completely. So just to be clear, this is all physically gone wrong. The card slot has a lock that clicks everytime you insert the card successfully, unfortunately it has stopped clicking on my phone and I am now missing out on 16/32gb worth of files etc.
I am not sure what to do so any advice from y'all would be greatly appreciated. I will try to take it to the Pacific Mall in Toronto tomorrow. I reckon only they can fix it and since my phone voids the Sammy Warranty, I'd have little or no chance of getting Samsung to fix it for me without costing me handful. If anyone of you has been on the same situation before, please feel free to share any tips or advice. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions.
All you can do is take it to repair...

Thanks for replying. I am now realizing that more and more. Will see what happens later today. Anyone else ever stumbled upon something like this?

Try removing the card and getting a very small brush and see if you can clean the port at all. It seems too strange that when you removed it you can't replace it in the port again. Sounds like debris but it doesn't seem right. If you clean the port and no luck, return your phone to stock and send it off for repair, and play dumb, nearly always works.

Haha thanks for the awesome suggestion. I had been at Pacific Mall, store name is Cell 123, none of the other stores were willing to take the risk to fix the sd card slot. Basically its not dirt, its the connectors within the slot that seem a bit out of place. Can happen easily with wear and tear and if you like me pull and push the sd cards a lot. Well then it can definitely happen. Just one of those things I hate about Samsung. The quality of some of its hardware is not top notch.
So after 2 hours of playing with the slot, the store owner nailed it. It's not completely fixed though. Most of the time, the phone reads the sd card without any issue but 2 times already, it has failed to recognize it. I believe the lock is loose and as a result, the micro sd moves around and cant stay in its fixed position, so the phone fails to read it at times.
I just turned my phone on and now all it's showing is a gray screen (see image) below.
Even when I pull the battery, it "boots" into this. After some time I do hear the booting sound.
The phone is unlocked/rooted/s-off'ed.
When I boot with the volume button down it does show something, but it's unreadable (only showing the top 1/2 part of the 1st text line)
Anyone here who might have a clue what is wrong, and how to fix it?
Thank you.

Lol no you probably need a new digitizer/lcd panel. That's my guess

Try booting into the boot loader and see if it still does that if not your rom has gone corrupt. Superwipe and reinstall.

Looks like the LCD is damaged or the connection ribbon for the LCD is loose.
What everyone's said so far is right. Your LCD is either broken or has a loose cable.
Send it in for repairs.
I don't see why they wouldn't repair it even if you are rooted, as this is their flaw, not a result of your rooting.
But to be safe, try and flash an RUU on the phone, for now.
Thank you all for the input.
It's still withing waranty, and will be picked up tomorrow for replair!
It's still rooted.. Let's see what they are going to say.
Will keep you guys updated!

Replacing the screen works. Although I have seen on one occasion where it didn't fix it.

Try replacement parts? Have Sprint replace your phone? $150 to Asurion? Buy a new phone?

See if sprint will fix it. They can't tell if its rooted anyway until they fix it. I doubt they would make a fuss. If that does not work I can supply a screen for $60 shipped.

Hello XDA.
I have been having a problem with my phone for almost 3 weeks now. Basically, my phone overheats randomly (possible fire hazard), which I think is caused by the CPU being stuck at max 1200 MHz. Battery also drains very quickly in that moment, running 100% to 0% in approximately 1.5 hours. It's not as hot now after I changed to CM10.1 (previously was on PAC-ROM v22), but it still runs very warm. I was thinking this could be because there was a time when I turned on the LED flash for some time (I think approximately 5 minutes), and I read an article somewhere that turning it on for extended periods of time might cause the internals to melt or malfunction. How big is the possibility of this happening, and what are my options if it is the problem?
The second problem has actually happened a long time ago, but now recurs with the above problem. At that time, I flashed a new ROM (it was a TouchWiz Rom, but I can't remember which) and the external SD card starts acting up. It would randomly gets dismounted, with error messages that either says 'SD card damaged', 'SD card removed', or 'SD card error' (one of those three will pop up randomly). At the time, it returned to normal when I flashed it back to Paranoid. Now, it is happening again. Now I am sure that the problem is not with the card itself since at other times it works just fine. Could this also be another hardware error? I don't think it's a ROM issue since I have tried Paranoid, PAC-ROM, CM, and AOKP, all with the same result.
To rub it in my wounds, both of those problems doesn't happen when the phone is charged, which happens at night or at work, which is the time I'm not reaching my phone to plug in the earphones and blast some music, which is stored on the external SD.
Maybe someone have the same experience, or have some insights to these problems?
We have a saying around here:

I was thinking about that also, but I've been hold off by my own dislike for TouchWiz. Meh...
Anyways, thanks, might try that in a couple of days
Use stock to see if the issue perists.
If it's still there, we could be talking hardware.
if it's not, it's software.
Sent from the little guy
After using stock (XWLSS) for two days, I guess the problem really is software. Phone doesn't overheat anymore, and SD card only undetected some 2 minutes after unplugging the USB/charger. Still strange, but it works. Thanks again gastonw for the advice
Np.
You can try chameleon ROM if you like, no touchwiz there.

Hi!
Weird case here. I used my Samsung Galaxy S9 plus as normal about a month ago when I ran out of power. I connected the original Samsung charger and chared it fully. When I powered up again there was no WiFi and no cellular network. I tried to: reboot, reset network settings, reboot again, but no luck. I then used about forever to tidy up images and files before I took a full backup and then reset the phone to factory defaults. All functions was normal, except no network. The reset to factory defaults didn't help either.
To I via the online shop made a support case - and sent it for repairs. I thougt this was a clear warranty case - phone beeing under a year and everything.
A couple of weeks later the workshop told me the damage could only happen if the phone was ran in a microwave oven. Well, it didn't. I have worked with computers and phones for more than 20 years - and of course I would not put it in the microwave oven. I do not have kids or anyone else that would do this as a prank on me.
And to be frank - I can not understand how the phone can be undamaged in all other aspects than the network antenna connectors beeing burned after running it in the microwave. I asked Samsung on the phone today if this was the case, but did not get a clear answer.
So do anyone know, is it even possible to ruin just the antennas with a microwave oven, leaving everyting else on the phone intact? Have anyone seen this happening?
And how can Samsung claim this is the only way this damage could have happened when it didn't?
I am so frustrated at Samsung!

The problem with the WiFi and Cellular network seems like a IMEI-Error. (You can see your IMEI in your Phone-Settings) I also think, that the first part, that would break in a microwave, is the USB-Port, because of the "open" wires.
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks. The wifi and cellular is burned all right. But nothing else. I got the pictures from Samsung now.

You have plastic melted, so I agree with Samsung. You did something =)
