Sorry for my bad english.
Hi I have a question about samsung galaxy note n7105 II.
I received my new smartphone and when I removed the battery flap fell 2 small pins from simcard reader and it has resulted in that it can not read my sim card unless I push Simcard with a finger. I have in the meantime been on eBay to find spare parts. It must be said that my Note II is from Denmark and called N7105 4G LTE. I found that on ebay this sim card reader that fits Samsung Galaxy Note N7100 II
My question is looked at, are there difference between the simcard reader whether it is 3G or LTE 4G? it plays no role?
I Hope there is someone who can give me a little clarity if it will work.
All the best!

Anyone? I have the exact same problem...
I am in a similar situation. I have a LTE N7105 but can only find the an assembly for the N7100. I have ordered the N7100 part and will try fitting it and get back to everybody later today however I would like to know a definitive answer if anyone knows.
I think there shouldn't be an issue.
If you want I can take a pic of my sim card holder for you to compare.
Other than that if it doesn't matter your purse then you may wanna try it.
Going to a service center won't hurt either.

Same, 1 day after buying it! It's with Samsung now, hopefully they fix it as I bought it used.
On my Xperia Z I superglued my nano sim into the adaptor, I will do that next time.
The sim reader from N7100 dont work with N7105 it can not be mounted .... I have pictures but dont know how to post it ..
"The sim reader from N7100 dont work with N7105 it can not be mounted .... I have pictures but don't know how to post it .."
That's strange. I brought my 7105 to a place on Orchard Road in Singapore. The guy had literally a box of the SIM / SD Card reader modules (its a single component that includes both), so clearly its a common problem. He said he could replace the SIM reader alone but did not recommend it. I asked him if the module was the same for 7105 and 7100 and he said they are identical. It took him about 5 minutes to replace it.

Picture of the two print - there is a little tab on the phone that prevents the print to fit
OK, that picture seems clear. Totally the opposite of what the technician in Singapore told me, but the picture tells the story. Thanks for clarifying.
Have now tested the N7100 print on a N7105 - phone part works fine but the phone will not reconize the microsd card ...

Thats not a picture of the back of a Galaxy S... unless its the S II with the 8 MP camera? The Galaxy S I9000 has the sim slot going vertically... the cut corner of the sim being next to the battery, that picture posted shows the sim socket mounted horizontally. I don't see how the ribbon cable would fit as it would hang out of the side of the phone on a galaxy S.
Ah yes sorry it's the galaxy s2.
Although for the record I have tried this in a standard galaxy s and it does also fit that!
Hope this helps
What was the score with this? Where did people find was the best place to buy from?
whats a dual sim adapter and why?
A dual similar adapter allows you to run two different sim cards in the same phone. I used mine to run a tmo sim and an att sim in my captivate galaxy s. It worked well, the drawback was the captivate couldn't run on T-Mobiles fast data frequencies. I finally stopped using it but they do work as advertised.

Got mine from www.magic-sim.com and I've had no problems with it.
Cheers
Dave
does this allow you to run 2 simcards simultaniously or do you have to switch providers depending on your needs? If I have a tmo and att simcard both in the phone, will I receive calls from both numbers or only one at a time depending on which simcard I select?
I know this might be an extreamly noobish question but I have never used one of these or owned a dual sim phone
No it's for sim switching. You can however get it to switch sims at a timed interval to make sure you pick up any missed calls or text (although personally I just switch over sims every hour or so and check)
Is any one brave enough to perform this mode on their new SGN II?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32593285#post32593285
I believe the little metal shield near the microSD slot is Sprint SIM-chip - it in the same spot as SIM slot on other versions of SGN II and it looks similar to the one in the above Motorola phone.
There is a dual SIM adaptor for this phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952770
so theoretically it could be used to split the connection with Sprint SIM-chip and another real full size SIM
I would love to see the same thing. I was thinking about moving to the Galaxy Note 2 until I read about the embedded SIM. I hope Sprint backs away from this trend or at least someone can hack the Note to allow for SIM switching.

You will not see a real SIM card if that is what you expect yo see - It's an ASIC microchip.
the "SIM-chip" is clearly visible one of the posted pictures:
http://imageshack.us/a/img259/1346/20121030103716.jpg
It is right next to the white letters SPH-L900
And as you can see it is almost the same as in Motorola Photon phone in the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32593285#post32593285
First picture on the right (also has 880120000 on top) - just a different version
That original thread has couple videos with removal procedure, it would be exactly the same here.
Darkendvoid88, Thank you for posting pictures!!!!!
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Very daunting but at least I know it's theoretically possible. If only this was more practical!
It appears that you'd have to have the phone taken apart just to use the foreign sim card, which is impractical. Maybe it could be stuffed below or above the battery, of course assuming the little wires could fit through some crevice or crack somewhere in the back. Otherwise, this type of hack basically just makes it possible to find your favorite foreign sim card, stick it in and close the device back up.
When I traveled around Germany and the UK this summer, it was super convenient to just switch to the new sim when I needed but I don't see that this will be possible even with this type of hack. Damn!
The op just has it set up like that because the photon is sealed and has a "non removeable" back. There is little to no room for the sim reader. An extended battery back might make this easier for us. Also if anyone has ever taken apart an S2 there is a clip next to the battery terminals. Ours is the same dissassembly process and that clip could be broken off to allow for easy wire routing.

looks like the sim reader would go right in same place as the GSM sim version either trim the sprint case to model it the same as the GSM sim version or buy a GSM sim replacement case.

You can't simply replace the chip with SIM card slot. You will lose Sprint LTE. To make it right you's need to solder a dual SIM adapter instead of the chip, then solder chip back in to micro SIM slot of the adapter and use the regular SIM slot for other SIM you might want to use. The software that comes with an adaptor will help you switch between chip and the SIM

No u are exactly correct that chip controls sprint lte access but the good news is a secondary sim slot can be placed directly over it without much case modification you just have to wire it up and remove the metal block from the pcb cover Case also wireless charging is definitely in play due to the pcb is wired for it a lot of hardware modification promise

I am not a fan of the Iphone, but my wife has the 4s and I was able to call sprint to have them unlock the phone so we can use it overseas with another sim card. With that being said is the Iphone the only phone that has the slot to easily take out the card and replace it with another card if traveling overseas?
I wonder if the pcb boards or internals used in the Verizon version could be swapped out for Sprint? It would be pretty interesting if a Verizon version of this phone just required a transplant of the LTE sim chip.

I own this Photon and it worked well since it's unlocked for foreign sims but it won't see an update beyond 2.3 since Motorola won't upgrade it. GN2 is the phone I want to upgrade to but this embedded sim is my biggest problem with it.

Randy, Are you saying saying there is no need to remove the chip just solder wires from it's legs to SIM slot and switch with software?
Exactly someone would have to unlock it software wise but a simple soder hack and some super glue will allow it to be used directly on top of chip with wires straight to the right connections.. The chip cannot I repeat cannot be removed it manages the sprint frequency of lte and International roaming to remove it would take away ur ability to have lte but the positive is its not that locked down from what I'm hearing its a simple mod hardware wise. also the wireless hack is super super easy I don't understand why sprint left the tech for wireless charging in and routed correctly but removed the access to them. Go figure as soon as I get a device ill do some tinkering

I have to tear it down again tomorrow when I get to the store as I screwed up the rubber grommet that goes around the headphone jack (covering the hole atm). So if you guys need any more pictures of the chip / insides I'd be happy to oblige.

You will need to be able to hardware mod the phone to accept a GSM sim on top of the hardwired chip.
You'll also need balls of steel.

The sprint note has no accessable sim slot. To "possibly" accomplish this one would need to modify the hardware by adding a sim slot and hack the software.

in layman's terms, you can't. if you remove the back cover from your device there is no sim card slot on the sprint variant to insert a sim. the only current wait to use our phones abroad is to use the sprint international plan.

$6.47 swap that plug and play component into place and BAM sim card slot.
either cut a hole in your middle cover OR buy a int middle cover.
also someone is working on a mod solution to keep the 4g AND add a sim card slot
we off course still need to unlock to work on US carriers but maybe its not locked to begin with since they would not have thought of someone swapping parts like this.

maybe it's just me, but amazing that so many people still believe that phones are compatible with other carriers............if you have Tmobile, AT&T then you're GSM network, Verizon & Sprint are CDMA..............it just bugs me when people ask to get their Sprint phone activated on another carrier (only exception is Cricket). I had someone a couple of days ago who bought a Tmobile version of the Galaxy S3, and wanted to know how to jailbreak it to use on another carrier.
normally you would be absolutely right. but in this specific case and possible with the S3 as well your incorrect.
the Note II and possibly the S3 have full GSM capabilities. Sprint just "corrupted" them on purpose (and should be illegally as well)
with the gizmo from ebay we get a normal sim card slot. now we just need a good hacker/coder to unlock the intentional "block" put in place by sprint to prevent it from seeing US GSM signals from companies other than sprint.
once someone manages to do that we will literally have a phone that could in theory be used on "ANY" US provider and probably any world provider.

I don't know. Someone posted that the LTE SIM card (a chip on the board) is part of this board. so removing it would remove LTE (disable it)
but if your going SIM your going GSM so can't use sprint LTE anyway. so its not a "huge" deal.

I contacted Magic Sim and they said their Elite Micro Sim would work with Sprint. It did not show on the site so I emailed them and they said it would.
