QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Sep 24 2008, 09:09 PM) @ Shock Just met crxr a while ago,guess what???crxr can definitely fix it. i have the slightest doubt. anyway, one is trying to increase the SIM card thickness by putting a cellophane. the rest is pretty self explanatory.  Still cannot fix but hes finding a way to go about solving this problem.Most likely have to destroy the sim tray and get a replacement sim tray.Now have to figure out how to destroy the sim tray? Any suggestion????  crxr should be doing his research now,hope to hear some good news from him tmmr!!! |

@ Shock
i'm not a very articulate person, but if you can try to google around, there is some "scientific" explanation for that. |

I am having the same problem...even worse, when I tried to pull out the SIM tray, part of it broke, and my sim still stuck inside!
What should I do now? >......< |

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Sep 24 2008, 09:00 PM) @ sudhirian @nokia2003to be honest, there is actually a rumour (i have tested this but doesn't work) that if you stuck a cellophane on the SIM card, it will increase the contact surface with the gold plated panels. hence this will improve overall signal strength from the network. TS has actually stuck two layers to his SIM card. however, for my case i didnt cut the cellophane according to the shape of the SIM (as i have also anticipated this). i focused mine towards the centre bit. but once i have found that it doesnt work as prescribed, i removed it days later. this also brings me to my next point, there were actual glue residues on the SIM card. this is obviously expected as the iphone do generate a substantial amount of heat. so those glue residues could have "spilled" over to the edges of the SIM card, causing it to be stuck. i didnt offer my help to dismantle for two simple reasons; i'm not really an expert in dismantling one and i have not dismantle one with the SIM card tray still inside (fearing that it might break inside). try to look at the schematic drawings of an iphone and you will understand my paranoia if i cannot remove the tray first prior to dismantlement. what about a small piece of hard paper to boost up the touching of the contact points btwn the sim card and the reader in the phone? wldnt that be better perhaps? currently what solution are you using? or have u jz left it inside to hang in there? |

@ sudhirian
paper is too thick and it may get misplaced inside. |

dunno man..
all i know is, since i put my simcard in, i never took it out.. plus, i did sandpaper alot of it before i put it in its quite thin now.. works fine still.. and when ejecting, eject it VERRRRY slowly, the moment u can see a bit of the sim card, use your nail or something to push the card down as u pull it out from the slot. less chances from getting stuck. but i think in the case of TS, from what i here, it can't even eject. well, just be careful guys.. |
