Micro Sim Card Doesn't Pop in Correctly?

So I have the ATRIX HD and I love it, but there's one thing that's annoying me. I can't get my sim card to stay in place within the slot, it doesn't click in like the microsd card does. I'm not sure if that's what's supposed to happen but I've just been closing the door to the slot area and it seem to stay in place and my phone radio works. Anyone have any ideas or pics they could post as to how theirs looks? Thanks!!!

The sales rep at the store had the same issue, but he eventually got it to lock in. I haven't removed it to try myself, but it looked like he had to push it in a little further than the microSD to make it work.
Edit: just tried it and I had to use a key (just what I had laying next to me) to get it to go in and click.

Sales rep had the same issue inserting my sim. She actually chipped her nail getting it in. Guess it was her first AHD

Same Problem
Me and my friend bought (both) ATRIX HDs on eBay.com (NEW IN BOX).. and when they arrived we faced the same problem, Micro SIMs does not Pop in correctly on both phones. Friend tried to force SIM to pop in and stay there but he broke spiral(or how it is called) inside and it will not Pop out without same help... On the other hand I can not Lock in my micro SIM and it pops out.. I have to force and close the cover so that SIM stays IN...
P.S. SIMs work on both phones..(even though it is not locked in my phone, but I am afraid not to break cover as sim pushes cover hard from inside

Dual SIM adapter

Hello All,
Can someone please provide their experience with using a dual SIM adapter on their Note II device.
I am thinking of this for future traveling.
T.I.A.

I have a gmate+. Was very good and handling well on 4.1.2. But when I flash 4.3. The device blocked during call. Restarting. Lost voice. It has issues with android 4.3. Hope they will update the app. I really like that device and it was all I need to transform my phone to a dual sim active phone.

Thank you smentoma!
This will be a good start

Have been using the MAGIC SIM Elite dual SIM adapter for quite some time now and it has been working as expected.
Have been able to utilise both SIM's 3g/4g connections with no issues and switching between SIMs isn't difficult (requires activating/deactivating airplane mode).
It isn't dual standby/active, meaning that its only one SIM active at a time. You can set it up (not a feature of the adapter, but something to arrange with carrier), so that if one SIM is inactive, it will forward calls to the other SIM which is active and vice versa. That way you won't/shouldn't miss out on calls.
Can be tricky to insert into the Note 2's SIM card slot.
My trick to inserting it, is to first put a micro SIM in to disengage the spring lever that's in the slot, then carefully pull the micro SIM out with needle-nose pliers (don't push the SIM to get it out like you normally would), then place the dual SIM adapter (micro-SIM side) into the slot and slide the micro SIM in. That way the adapter won't impinge on the spring lever and will more than likely sit over the SIM slot contacts (hope that made sense).
It's very easy to either pull too hard or twist it and damage the flex cable.
Have been using it with Beanstalk 4.3 ROM and TW 4.1.2 stock and no issues with either ROMs
It will bulge out a little when putting the battery cover back on.

Thanks Optimistic Pessimist!

I'm looking for a dual SIM adapter, so thank you for this thread. It will help me. Anyway, did u try anyone in AOSP 4.4?

Here is mine, got it from ebay for USD 5, was for the iphone 5, but will also work for android, infact any of them from ebay will work, no need to spend the extra cash for a magic sim.

Thanks kms108!
The continued support from this forum is absolutely incredible!

It's more convenience, especially if you are on the move, there are BT units available that allows 2 sim, 3 sim or 4 sim active at the sametime.

I know that....but if you are driving and need receive a call over bluethoot you cant....soo phone lose that usuability.
Ive sell my grand duos and bought note 2 because the performance.....and bought another cheap phone for other sim card (htc desire z). Since its a company number I dont use alot. But need to stay "alive" all the time

I've upgraded my phone to 4.3, slightly new menu for the sim tool kit, and new indicator, still working fine for me.

Thank you All for the continued feedback!
This is all very useful info!

Anyone use a nano sim on their Note 4?(with a nano sim adapter to fit the micro slot)

Just wondering if Anyone is using a nano sim on their Note 4 with a nano to micro sim adapter to fit the micro slot of the note 4?

I've been using one in my unlocked Note 4 and G3 with no problems.

Also using one here.

+1 here use it and remove it daily.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

Yup, so do I. Works just fine.

It works fine but I wouldn't recommend it. The edges of the sim adapter sometimes will get caught in the sim card terminal connectors inside the sim tray and will break. When that happens you get the no simcard icon.

I'm using a nano sim. No adapter.

Huh? How. Pics please if you have some time

Can't picture it. And then somebody else already did. You just need to know where to put it. And no, it doesnt slide around. If fits snug. I am sure it is possible if you dropped your phone on the edge somewhere it might get out of position enough to disconnect but I haven't encountered this. And I've gotten insertion correctly the first time probably 90% of the time. It is kind of a pain to get out, but being patient and not pushing it further in is key. And the reason some of us don't use adapters are that there are way too many knock off adapters that will actually mess up your sim slot. I have a sim punch and could use the old sim as an adapter but still risky for pins getting caught in the gap and screwing up slot. A lot of people don't know you can use smaller sims in a bigger sim slot. I would venture nano Sims would not work in the old full size sim slot because it is too big but I don't have anything or the interest to experiment it.

I've used my nano sim in the original note and connected great. It had the big original Sim slot as well.

Question
My friend has a nano sim without an adapter in her Note 4 Eynos model.
Works fine.
But she's been getting really bad battery .
Think the nano sim can be the cause ?
Or faulty battery or apps or something else ?

The nano sim has to be perfectly placed like the picture a few posts up to work without an adapter. Also when trying to fit the nano sim perfectly you have to restart the phone to get it to work...

An adapter cost about $1, I don't see why you would go through all that trouble everytime you take out your sim. Different strokes different folks

An adapter just doesn't fit right ... I have 2 and both Dont feel safe....

Same here, nano sim without adapter. It's actually pretty easy to line up, I got it first try and haven't had any issues with it. :good:

Yeah, the picture in post 10 really helped me out. Nano works perfectly without adapter or anything. Pretty cool!

Going from Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 6

Like many of you in the past, I am a Verizon unlimited data customer that didn't want a phone that was locked down from Darth Verizon. I purchased my galaxy nexus December of 2011. I just purchased my Nexus 6 from Moto's website and am psyched. All I have to say is this experience going from a Galaxy nexus to Nexus 6 is going to be epic.

I'm in the same boat. My nexus 6 won't be here till 1/5/15 so let me know what your steps are for getting the Sim activated.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app

I just did the exact same thing, G Nexus to Nexus 6 (got mine in on Monday). I printed out a template online (check with ruler after printing to make sure it's the correct size) and cut my SIM with scissors. Had to do a little filing to get it to fit flush in the SIM holder, just need to make sure you don't cut it too small. I think all the electronic are in the center oval so make sure not to cut into that part at all. Everything is working for me, calls, text, LTE.

Just note that since you're using a LTE sim card that old, it may cause problems even though you don't experience any.. your signal may not be as good as a new sim card.

Noted, although I've definitely been getting better LTE service than with my GNexus. There are two main spots on my way into work that I used to lose signal and now I don't.

I'm actually excited for you. That's quite the upgrade.

OP should get a reward, I change phones more than I change my toothbrush in a year (kidding of course).
But yeah the difference would be night and day.

As for my Sim, I called Verizon and said I ordered an HTC M8. They are shipping it. I also ordered a nano to micro sim adapter. I am going to put my newly acquired nano sim in the adapter and place it in my galaxy nexus to verify it works. Then remove it and place it in the Nexus 6. Hopefully it works

Galaxy Note 5: "Sim Card Removed, Please Restart" Error

Sim card removed, please restart
I keep getting this error on my Note5. Sometimes it'll go a week before happening, and other times it'll happen a few times a day. Can't tell what's causing it, but always happens when screen is off and phone is idle. Have never had it happen when I'm using the phone. Any suggestions?

Try to replace your sim happen to me same thing
Get new sim and never had any problems with new sim

Happened to me a bit as well. Make sure your phones are updated. Haven't tried changing the sim card yet but I know that some early builds of Marshmallow roms had a bug that said the card was removed
Also, for the user that asked how to change sim cards, the slot is built on the top, and can be removed by using a paper clip and pressing into the hole that pushes that sim card holder out of the slot

Same problem to me, it is not firmware problem and not sim card problem, i have got this issue on android 6 and now on android 7, Noone have the right solusion for this ?

Just to chime in, it's been happening to me too, since two months, but I think got worse since the last security update of about a week ago. Turkey region ROM.

It is really a problem.

Use a thin tape and cover the top portion of the Sim card and the tray. Make sure it's a perfect fit or at least sticks onto the tray real good. Problem could be the Sim card moving too much because of the Sim tray isn't a tight fight... Which is a design flaw from Samsung's part. Hit the thanks button if this helped u out.

I got the same problem. Sometimes 2 times a day. Some time 2 times a weeks. Sometimes server times a month. Probably caused by sim tray not hold sim card tightly. I will try to use electric tape to cover the sim if could solve

The tape fixed my problem. Thanks so much.

I also facing the same problem..its always appear "SIMCARD REMOVED..Please restart your device"..its happen to me about 1 and a half week ago after my Galaxy Tab A perform a software update...before this its never happen...is it an ANDROID problem or my Tab A problem?

I was having the same problem, I did everything I could think of to fix it, factory reset etc... I finally took it to ATT and had a new sim put in about 3 mos ago and haven't had the problem since. The tech there told me that it had to do with the new cell tower regulations ( I think he was full of BS and didn't know what he was talking about) and the way the original sim card was coded for Android 6.0 that once it upgraded to 7.0 and started getting the security updates that it was causing conflicts in the phone so I needed a new upraded sim. The good part was that I don't cost anything

Using medical tape is better than electric tape to attach on top of both simcard and simtray.
