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

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.

Anyway, it would help if we could see a screen shot of what error you are talking about. There are several going around this forum, each with a different solution.

Here is my error, it has shown up once a day for the past 3 or 4 days and goes away after a reboot. I have had my phone for 2 months and this only started showing a few days ago.

Lol, this whole time I didn't know you could remove the sim card. I removed it and cleaned it then put it back. I haven't had the error pop up since
I started getting the same error after I flashed the s-off firmware zip. I seem to get it when I lose signal.
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.

I was wondering if there may be better ones out oin market or if anyone is having a problem using the nano in mulltiple phones. Thanks

Do NOT put adapter without card! It will get stuck in the sim slot.

I have a sim card adapter in my RAZR HD without my nano card in it and it doesn't get stuck. I got a set on Amazon that work great.
I bought this set. You have to make sure you install it flush but I've had no issues.

sorry I did not make it clear, I meant the sim slot like iphone 4/4s which has a sim tray to pull out.
The RAZR HD has a SIM tray that pops out. I've never seen a iPhone one though so no idea if it's similar.

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.

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....
