kashif 350 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi Guys I have been trying to insert two sims but when I put two sims the tray cant fully go all the way and it sticks a tiny bit. and then Pro1 only detect one sim, so I guess its because of tray not sitting in [properly. So how I insert sims is: first sim in the first sim slot facing corner on top second sim in sd card slot, placed pretty much in the middle with corner facing bottom (other way around the first sim) Both sims are facing gold upwards. so can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong here?

Have you tried using a hammer? 😁 (Sorry I couldn't help myself) I haven't used two SIMS, but one SIM and a SD and it slides in all the way, seats and works. Sorry I can't be of more help.

lameboyadvance 98 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've only tried using a microSD card so far, but AFAIK you usually need a nano SIM for the second slot, and you orient it in the same direction as your main SIM, using one edge of the micro SD slot to hold it. ...also, if you are interested in also using a SD card as well as your SIMs, there is a possible hardware mod you can do to your second SIM so that you can stick it on top of a SD card. https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2016/03/how-to-enjoy-dual-sim-and-micro-sd-simultaneously-on-the-galaxy-s7/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Your secondary SIM should sit perpendicular in the SD card slot. There is notch for the SIM card cut corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just took a look at mine and yeah, it has a SIM cutout in a similar manner to the S7 pic above. You have to insert it from the back, and have the phone facing down to insert it as you said. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zamasu 258 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 They're nano SIMs? And not cut down micro SIMs? There's a thickness difference that I could see possibly being an issue with a sliding mechanism like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,427 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 PS: Preferably remove and insert the tray with the display facing downwards 🙃 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have to be small enough to fit in the SIM slots. Nowadays most phones use nano sim or even smaller, the older 'standard' size SIMs are too big. You can use smaller, but you need an adapter.

Nowadays most phones use nano sim or even smaller, the older 'standard' size SIMs are too big. And actually the old 'standard' was officially named "mini" as the full sim was/is credit-card size (e.g. used by the old StarTacs). And most often when you get a new sim today you will recieve a nano in a micro in a mini in a full sim, that are nested like the Russian Babushka dolls. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These days they seem to be more often referred to as Matryoshka dolls, but Babushka is a proper name for them, and when I was younger (at least here in the US) it was a more common term. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
