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

[Q] sd card too big

Hey has anyone else noticed that when a ad card is inserted and you close the flap that it doesn't close properly like when there isnt a card? Its maybe nothing but little things like this really bother me lol

Yup, its very minor but just enough to give the flap a curve and springiness - thought it was the sim card because I cut full sized sim myself with bluntish scissors. Took SD card out just now to confirm and it does stop the flap closing completely... might back up the card then trim it

Yeah it is very minor but I'm a detail freak and it was driving me nuts at least if I know its normal and not just me thats fine! Yeah I was up for ages taking in and out the sim and trying different sd cards thinking id put it in wrong. Poor design testing other than that cannot fault the device as of yet
Hell of an upgrade to my desire S!
But yeah it needs a trim I didnt think of that al though I think you should try it and report back if it works before I completely **** my phone up !

I don't have a spare sd card right now, when I get home I'll test it on an old one

my micro sim fits in fine did you use the sim eject tool to push it in as I had your problem before as hadn't pushed all the way in but it still worked and read SD card for some reason.
Hope this helps

You mentioned sim and sd card, just to clarify its sd card and distortion is less than a millimetre.

I mentioned the 'Sim eject tool' to use to insert the SD card..... I was not talking about the actual sim card just the tool provided.
Hope this helps clarify things for you if your comment was in responce to mine :0)

So I lost my SIM card tray...

I literally just opened my new XZ,and I thought the tray was like a dummy card. I don't know what I did with it... but once I figured out what it was for it was too late. Wtf do I do now...

Wow. Just face up to your mistake and buy a new one. Petty theft will gain you nothing apart from a record if you're caught.
Anyway, do you live in some sort of junk heap where things are swallowed up and lost forever as soon as you put them down? Just retrace your steps and you will probably find it.

Buying one isn't the problem, waiting ages to get it is! I opened the box in a car, and my friend who owns the car insists it's not there.

Still, that is your fault. Stealing is never the solution.
Have you tried calling a Sony support centre and asking if they stock them?

Some guy in this very thread mentioned that he got a new phone and the "defective" one was sent back to Sony when he lost his SIM card tray. Have you given this a chance?

So just fraud instead of theft?
Personally, if I had made a stupid error like this, I would just bite the bullet and wait for a new sim tray to arrive if a Sony repair centre couldn't help.
Maybe I just have a different set of morals to the majority these days though.....

Yes, maybe. I agree in that regard.
The person you were talking about was not honest with them though. He said he "claimed" that it was missing.

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.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

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

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!
