Hi, i am not sure this is the right place but i thought it might fit here.
I own the Single SIM version of the Nokia 7 Plus, the phone works perfectly fine but unfortunately it seems that my SIM Card Tray Holder is a bit bent/dented. It functioned fine but from a cosmetic standpoint is a bit flawed.
I got in touch with Nokia about an replacement part but their suggested course of action is sending the whole Phone in for repair, which i think is overkill and without a secondary phone it is not really an option.
I did however find out the Manufacturer Part Number: MEB2N02015A possibly also Metal_Single_SIM_Tray_Copper_B2N
So far i had no luck finding the part itself in any online shops/stores but admittedly my knowledge of such places and where to look is rather limited.
If anyone here has suggestions or ideas where i could get the part i would greatly appreciate it.
Kind Regards and Thank You!

I've been looking at getting a bluetooth GPS receiver for my Wizard for a while now, but I haven't been able to find anything that I really want to buy. I know there are several other topics on GPS in the forum, but all the solutions suggested seem to be American websites (or at least all priced in dollars) and being from the UK this isn't much help. I've stumbled across a receiver/software bundle on a site, and it's very cheap, but I'm not sure if it will be any good or even if I can use it with my wizard as the card provided is SD. Is it possible to copy the files to the miniSD in the Wizard and still work?
The link is here, and if someone could take a look and let me know if they think it is ok, or if someone's tried it, please let me know!
Thanks,
Myk
P.S. I don't want to know if this receiver/software is any good compared to £300 systems or even what the best GPS combo is, because I'm not interested in spending that kind of money yet. I just wanna know if this will work fairly reliably so I can get a cheap GPS set-up to test how useful I find it before I spend loads on one
I just bought my first GPS unit and it is and it was under a hundred dollars US.....and I feel that it is acurate as can be.....so from what i've read about that unit it seems it will be just fine for you t use for quite awhile....Plus you will be able to use it with any new phone you get...
Software activation...
Ok, so I bought the receiver I mentioned. Since the software comes on an SD card, and the wizard only takes miniSD cards, I copied everything across and the program installed fine. But then when I try to run it, it asks me to insert the original SD card to activate the software.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I can use some other software (possibly) with the receiver if I can't get it to work, but it's not as good as the Navman software seems to be.
Having read a lot of posts... both potentially apropos and perhaps diverse... from this August company of Ameo sages and mages, I have been moved to write to you to ask if there is something you can advise with respect to WM6 on our Ameo.
We have two such similar devices, both in T-Moble livery... with the nice leather book binding and the peculiarly useful pen pointer.
One arrived well-used with HTC Windoze mobile 2.21.405.2 on it, and the accompanying larger sized HTC home module, apparently of that period.
The other arrived practically new and boxed, with Windoze Mobile 2.35.110.4 on it, and the HTC Home characteristically implemented in the task bar area.
Being housebound disabled, the Tom Tom which came with it is virtually useles to me as well... so if anyone is desperately seeking one then we might arrange something.
The new unit came in and came up from cold. Not having a method whereby you can stop the branding process, as we do on our XDAIIs units, we were forced to permit that to continue... which was our first surprise. However that seems to bring in some benefits... in the shape of Opera and Tru-Flo... as well as a bit of T-Mobile dross too.
The HTC unit functions pretty well as far as I can see, and takes more or less everything you can give it to try. And it also starts on keyboard contact too.
The T-Mobile does not, and also needs to be re-set fairly often.
Too often for my money.
The HTC unit is unlocked as far as I know. The T-Mobile is awaiting a Pay-As-You-Go Card from me, and the use of the unlock code, which was obtained for us by the person who sold it to us.
The real tell for us (as mere users rather than mavens) was oddly enough, not with a performance tool kit or with any kind of enhancer, but with Hidden Expedition Titanic... of all things.
It works fine on HTC, but appears to glitch on the sound on the T-Mobile, and then hangs. Other similar softwares appear to do the same immediately after install, and then sometimes seem to operate as they should after a re-set. Astraware Solitaire WE and Robo, to name but two.
Going on from there, we got hold of Syberia. As big a test as you might want for this type of device I thought. That works pretty well again on the HTC, but inexplicably stalls on the T-Mobile far too frequently... necessitating a re-set. It is my impression that it does so if run from a previously closed session involving more or less any other task or purpose but can sometimes function adequately from a warm boot. (There are occasions with this unit when I'd like to implement the old MSDOS computer users saw... and give it a warm boot... AND also a HOT Wellie.)
Again, it is only my impression, but it seems that if I run Pocket Mechanic Ram Reclaimer on this unit, and then run Syberia, we seem to get a longer run without a freeze... sometimes to where I have to close in the normal course of events.
The same sort of thing... system hangs... happens now I have tried it... in Word. Especially when using Transcriber.
I have to say that I had perhaps unreasonably high hopes of that, having had a Toshiba Portege Tablet for a while now also, and having been quite surprised at how good the Tablet version of Windoze is at handwriting recognition on that. Most unlike Microshaft...
Then I thought that problems we had (and still do occasionally, albeit not requiring a re-set however) with the Tosh might be similar on the Ameo.
On the Tosh, as it arrived, we found the startup to be inundated with little Toshiba software modules... many of which were uneccessary. We improved boot times no end by taking a lot of them out... although live processing sometimes still has slow periods.
Notwithstanding however I tried to look at the Ameo in the same way.
In the startup there are around a half dozen files, aside from the obvious... Magic Button and X-Scalar that are there due to my efforts. And there seems to be little or no information as to what these are, or what they actually do... or more importantly... if they can be safely left out.
I've no doubt, from my reading here, that a simple answer from you all would be to install the unlocker and the forthcoming cooked ROM.
End of problem... perhaps.
However I tend to be a little more conservative (or timid perhaps?) with this concept... also noting those poor folks who have "bricked" their units too.
We have had excellent service from our XDAIIs units over the years, and they have been good companions when we needed them, as well as just phones. They are still operating with WM2002SE and still most software that I "find" seems to work on them... including the Ameo-Glitching Hidden Expedition Titanic I might add.
This week the chap next-door-but-one also got an Ameo... having seen ours and liked it.
His came out of the box with WM5 on it... possibly old stock?
However it set me thinking again and this has finally moved me to ask the assembled wise old Ameo-ers... if perhaps we would be as well reverting our new Ameo to WM5 too... for the time being at least... or if we might be better employed seeking something like the HTC version on our HTC unit?
Or perhaps some other solution presents itself to you from my description?
I'd like to get the new unit starting from keyboard connect also, if anyone has the fix.
The HTC unit came with a restore CD with WM5 on it... and not the HTC version which is presently installed on it's ROM. So I cannot just mirror it to the new unit.
There must be a concensus surely?
The units are manufactured similarly, by the same processes, and using basically the same internals.
We need a windoze version for these which settles down and does what it is supposed to with most of the software that is available.
At the present moment I have "ancient-egyptian" XDAIIs, which seriously outperform at least one new Ameo... in most respects... and that can't be right.

Hi
I feel you have lots of time to write on here. therefore you must have time to read about these threads before you try to mirror anything. If you do not understand fully you may brick your ameo.

Both of your devices need to be unlocked if you want to upgrade another rom other than original ones. If you do not understand clearly please do not do any changes and read everything about athena.
Good luck
Microshaft Windoze,that's great.
Hey guys i ask my self is there a way to ADD 3G Sim slot and 3G modem to this device???
Because i saw the sim slot beside the SD card slot!
If yes please share with us your knowlege
I also was thinking that this might be possible. Although the box said "Iconia A500", My device information screens say that the device is a A501 and somewhere in there it also says "3G". So I was thinking that maybe all the firmware is already there and maybe it was just a matter of fitting it out with a SIM receptacle. (maybe even that is there - I dare not open up my new Iconia Tab after I broke the touch screen of the 8" Utopia Apad I have!)
Anybody brave enough to hack into the Acer Iconia?
I am also very keen on a modd like this would be awesome!
unless you have a 501 model hardware(not software) there is no sim jack under the sticker that covers the sim slot. And the sim recepticle is not the only piece of hardware required for 3g service. You need a 3g pcie card, or in this case more likelyan onboard chip. If they didnt include the $.50 recepticle, the chip isnt installed either. Unless your willing to disect your tablet youll never know for sure. Just remember to take pics of the hardware when you crack it open.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have done a little looking into this. From what I can tell , a mini pcie slot is available that would most likely be utilized in this mod. As far as finding one that will be supported I have not gone that far. I also am not sure if there are any other modifications needed to be made to the motherboard (I doubt it). All my inquiries have ended with no positive results. I'm sure it's possible and probably not as difficult as most think. I believe once there are more damaged units available with the right hardware, there will be more attempts at this mod. I suggest trying to find a damaged a501 and seeing what you can do with its 3g radio.
Hi, I have a couple of HD2's ready for use within the business I work for.
These HD2's were purchased as replacements for older HD2's that had been used and were getting tempramental and old.
I have recieved the new HD2's and heres my problem:
The touch screen seems to decide when, and IF it works. The first time I EVER got it out of the box, unwrapped it etc the touch didn't work.
After a couple of restarts the touch works, then after a bit it will then decide not to work.
This happens constantly, it will work, then wont work, then work, then wont work.
When it works it is fine, just like the HD2 should be, it just seems to be like a moody teenager who decides when and if it want's to work.
Any one know what could cause this? Why it is happening and why it works and then doesn't?
Thanks !
the touch has always been a weak point of this phone, and your issue doesn't sound all that uncommon.
if they still have older version, rom then you should certainly update that.
if there's any warranty you should definitely go that route immediately,, because you almost certainly aren't gonna fix it.
Hi mate
Yes I have updated the ROM's which went from 1.4 (ish) to the current ROM listed on the HTC website. That seemed to fix it, but then I realised the phone was in a good mood, and 10 minutes later it started its hissy fit again.
And about warranty I don't know as I didn't buy them, we may have to attempt to send them back but thats gonna take weeks, as it took weeks for them to arrive. And we need them out and about tbh.
Do you have any idea what the cause is?
Hardware/Software?
Thanks !
sorry no clue why, and I'd say it's most likely hardware,,, a failing digitizer by the sound.
Sounds like the common digitizer issue, just had same with my personal TMOUS HD2.
Our local supplier said he had units 100% new but old that had failed in the box, reckons digi ribbon bonding to digi is bad on both solder & socket types.
From 20+ HD2 handsets we have running in our company I would conclude similar myself.
My personal handset has had extremely light & sympathetic use & hardly minimal use of end key but it still failed.
Hardware durability of digi/micro USB port & mainboard thermal control/BGA solder quality is very poor to be polite ...
I've had 3 hardware problems develop all at the same time:
The charging port has stopped reliably working
The headset jack is beginning to fail
The dreaded "No SIM Detected"
I know that the first two are relatively easy repairs if you can solder.
The third is a bit more of an issue. Reading here and in other places it sounds like it *might* be a bad SIM card reader (or a bad connection). Others have suggested that it could be a motherboard issue (not sure if that's the correct term for a phone).
Either way, the phone needs repairs and they seem way above my current paygrade/project time. Unfortunately my Note is out of warranty.
So, my bright friends, any suggestions on who to turn to? If I contact Samsung, how much might I be looking at for the repair? I'm primary interested in solving the SIM card reader thing first as I'd still like to use this unit as a phone.
