Hello, I tried the new Note9 with Dual sims + Sd card simultaneously, both sims register and i can see the sd card registering in the notification section, but i get a popup which says Some problem with the sim tray please remove try and reinsert. I cant seem to bypass this. can anyone help ?
You cannot use a combination of two Sims and an SD card. You can use a single sim and an SD card or two sims and no SD card.
A bit of a stupid design but this is how I have known it since the note 8.
Unfortunately this dual sim set up is not available in US (at least when i pre-ordered mine). Would you know if it support CDMA?
For my history use, if I get the 512gb then I dont have to have a SD card. 512gb is enough (too much).
Thanks in advance!

That's good point. If I was a dual SIM user I'd definitely have bought the 512gb.

From what I've heard,Samsung has prevented this w/software.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/dual-sim-sd-card-problem-s9-t3830637
It worked in the past,but,sometime this year,Samsung put an end to using all three simultaneously.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77369298&postcount=7
I know exactly what you're talking about, I used two SIM Cards & an SD Card in a Honor View 10.
I used a $10 SIM extender,which fit right next to the SD Card in the 2nd slot.

Perhaps there'll be a work-around in the future,but,it's likely gonna be a solution that requires your device to be rooted.
I'm shifting from S7Edge to Note9, really wish there was a work around for this. Anyways for now I'm in 128gb and at the moment I have enough memory. Thanks guys.
It doesn't work for me too.. I was using my sim+sdcard combo on my axon 7 but when I put it in my note 9, it says check sim tray. Hope this gets a workaround.

Thank you for confirming,although it's not the news we wanted to hear,any doubt has now been removed. :good:
security
samsung has done some stuff to prevent this from happening altho if you root you can break the security
It just happened to me as well. I was using both of the sims and SD card with sim extender till my Note 8 and it was working fine but in Note 9 the annoying popup is not going anywhere. Any fix will be helpful to by pass this.
I have the same problem!
Hi friends. I live in Iran & here just note 8 is in the market in its 64gb model. I used 2 sims & sd card simultaneously until it told me there is an update. I did the update, it became Android 9, & brgan giving me the prompt that something's wrong with the tray. I did whatever that I thought might help, but it didn't help. Later ai heard that Android 9 doesn't allow simultaneous 2 sims & an sd card! I hope Samsung changes this. Their phones are becoming worse every day. Glass back which breaks & gets fingerprint marks, low capacity, and every time they ban something on their users! I wish I wasn't in love with Samsung!
Unfortunately Samsung has prevent dual Sim device owners from being able to use both SIMs and a microSDCard at the same time for some strange reason.
Samsung Note 9 in India comes with Dual Sim Dual Standby version & can use 2 - 4G VoLTE SIM cards simultaneously.
I have an Unlocked Samsung Note 9 from SPRINT , USA. This has a Single SIM Slot with a memory card expansion bay. The Exact Model No of the Sprint , USA's Samsung Note 9 is SM-N960U1.
What i want to know is that does this version have e-sim capability ? Does it has a second e-sim modeul & 2nd IMEI built in ?
Anyway to find out , maybe via an app or anything ?
Else, i can stuck with a single sim Note 9 if it does not.
Can anyone help on this... i cant seem to find any details on this specific model.

Go to phone pad, type in *#06#. This will bring up ALL your IMEI info. If you have 2 then it will show both...

Simple & Effective answer. Thanks so much. Its a Single SIM with one IMEI no only.
This means the SPRINT (USA) Samsung Note 9 has single sim with single IMEI so no e-sim support also.
thanks so much.
Hi,
Does anyone know if Android 10 will bring back the ability to have Dual Sim plus uSD card active simultaneously?
I really miss having the extra storage capability in my SM9600.

Very unlikely. Since Samsung has actively blocked it with software, whatever their reason may be, they don't have any real reason to unblock it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77001643&postcount=313 here is a fix.
It's included in Dr. Ketan's ROM.

Hi,
It is written in the post. Find services.jar, decompile it with a Java decompiler, make the shown changes, and push it back to where it was with like adb push command or file manager on the phone.
That, or find it in the ROM from Dr. Ketan or install that ROM.
That should give you enough pointers I hope.
Start trying and post if you really get stuck.

Setting up with service provider?
Hello. For those of you who hate noobs in this forum, prepare to cringe a little bit. So I plan on getting the International Model of the Galaxy Note 5, but I have NO IDEA how it works, setting up the sim card and all. I've had some pretty extensive issues with phones and setting it up with my carrier and such. Is it as simple as popping in the SIM card, or do you have to do more than that?
Thanks
What carrier are you on and which model specifically are you looking at?
It's been a while since I get an international phone (I'm with AT&T). The last time I did, all I have to do is insert the sim card. Likewise when I bring my phone out of the U.S., all I have to do is insert a local sim card.

Can I take the SIM card out of my current Note4 and put it into my Note8? My Note4 and SIM card are just about 3 years old. Is there any lost functionality by not getting a new SIM card or should I just go to a Verizon store and get a newer SIM card? Any advantages or disadvantages to either approach (current SIM card versus new SIM card) like an activation fee or anything like that?
Thanks!
The SIM card is a nano compared to the older micro in your awesome Note4, I had one too before the Note8
You can cut the SIM card to size but there is a chance you can cut it incorrectly and have issues, also a cut SIM card is not covered when you bring it into a store.
Your best bet is go get a new nano SIM at your provider.
I cut my SIM and I am not experiencing any issues but I do want to get a new one soon.
Ok, I figured there was likely a change in something over the last 3 years. Do you know if they will charge me the ridiculous activation fee ($35, i think?)?

It has been suggested by all carriers that new SIMs be used because there have been several issues with previously used SIMs and provision functionality...in other words, there is better connections and access to carrier functions when using new SIMs...most are free from your carrier...I tested my s7e SIM and a new SIM and while they are both from my carrier, only the new SIM provisioned WiFi calling correctly and there was a considerable change in data speeds...just an idea though...

Thanks. That makes sense. I understand that the SIM is likely free. But, does anyone think Verizon will charge me the activation fee to put provision my Note8 on my account to replace my current Note4?
Thanks again!
One more question... Do i need the SIM card installed in the phone to actually go through the phone setup? I'm guessing not, but wasn't sure if it had to go through the setup all over again once the SIM finally is installed. I should get the phone today but probably won't get to a Verizon store to get a new SIM until a day or 2 from now. Thanks.

In most cases you shouldn't, and don't require a SIM card to get through the setup wizard, however I'm not sure if the process is different for US carriers so don't take my word for it.
Popping a SIM card in the phone after setup is complete also shouldn't be a problem.

I just did this yesterday went from the Note 4 to the Note 8 and Verizon gave me the sim for free. The only thing is they had to activate it while in the store so bring you Note 8 with you if you have already bought it. They didn't charge me anything however if you are upgrading through them (getting the Note 8 while there) they may.

This is perfect! I just got my Note8 in the mail today. (came a day earlier than expected)! I'll take it with me over to the Verizon store and hopefully I have the same experience as you did. Thanks!
Hello Wonderful People
Is it possible to use an extra sim instead of sd card in my note 8 (sm-n950f)?
If Possible, please advise in details the advantages & disadvantages.
Kind Regards
Note 8 User
No... Not unless you got the dual sim version...
Possible and ppl done it successfully. Google for it.
Note, it is not legal as you need to pirate an imei for second sim. Or u can use both same imei but depending on carrier, they might block it.

you can use 1- sim card+ microsdxc OR two sim cards, you won´t have option for the sim+sim+ microsdxc from this or another current phone

It's blocked by software, others here have tried the same mod, it no longer works.
The software block was first seen on the S9 earlier this year & implemented on this phone out of the box.

I don't think you can't change a single SIM device to dual SIM as each SIM needs a separate IMEI number to operate. However, maybe you can as there are dual SIM adaptors available ... have search on Google!

You can't do that without a second IMEI, which the dual sim models have but the single sim models don't. Copying IMEIs are illegal in most places and not allowed on XDA. Suggest you sell your model and buy a dual sim one.
This post I just want anyone live England London know any mobile shop can do.
(In England Note 8 is N950F Exynos CPU, so can single SIM convert to Dual SIM)
I don't have Z3X tool box to write IMEI , so I want someone advance me where can do that.

We do not mention imei writing and such
That is not a good idea as your device is only equipped with a single SIM slot and a microSD Card slot. Even if you manage to install another imei number onto your device. It may not work.

Can be done only if your device is still binary 1. For more info on this topic suggest you try http://forum.gsmhosting.com/. You won't find any imei modding here.
From what I have read (for education purposes) - converting n950f to dual sim - the legal method is to use the same imei.
To duplicate imei for both sims require first diag the cert file from the phone using z3x won't work with binary 3 or 4. phone must be knox 0.
To write cert file require another paid software - gcpro - z3x does not support writing cert yet.
unless your phone is knox 0 and binary 1 there is no point in looking into this, but maybe in the future.

Copying IMEIs is still illegal, whether for "education purposes" or not. That's why it's not permitted on xda as the mod pointed out earlier.
