Hi all. I bought an Axon Mini recently, and although I'm very pleased with it (great spec, obscenely good value), I can't actually work out how to open the SD card slot. There's no way of getting a finger nail under it and jamming a sharp point into the very tiny hole at the top of the flap doesn't do anything either. There's no manual with the phone, and as far as I can see nobody on the internet has yet asked this question.
I think the Elite also has a similar slot so perhaps somebody's had some experience with this?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
What do you mean? I own an Elite and I just did what everyone else does, used the SIM ejection tool and the tray popped out, does the Mini have a different design?
I also own a Mini. The SD Card occupies one of the sim slots. When you eject the sim holder the larger slot can take the MicroSD card.
anyone can help me make my zte mini google phone? I bought I in China..

As per the title, if you have the dual SIM variant does it allow use of a micro SD card as well as 2 SIMs?
It's a hybrid dual sim so you will choose a second sim or micro sd.
It can be done—search for the SIM SD hack, it was done successfully on Note 7 and earlier phones. It requires some fine hacking of both the second SIM and the SD.
I'm sure it will be attempted successfully—I'll do it once I get the phone.
I would not recommend it.
Me either. It's a bold move on a $1,000 phone, and I think Samsung wound up blocking it anyway.

I wanna try it anyway, do you have any links of where you've read they blocked it - I'd like to see how and if it can be overcome.

It works on the S8+, I think it'll be doable on the Note 8.
It can be done and should be done. Right now I have the hack installed in s8 plus HK dual sim.version, 128 gb internal 256 sd card.
It worked very well in every phone with hybrid dual sim from samsung and huawei
Just see youtube videos to understand what you have to do
does anyone tried the dual sim hack for note 8? I'm coming from s7 edge with dual sim and micro sd simultaneously. My note 8 arrived last saturday and I can say that the micro sd slot seems fit and tight compare to s7 edge. I'm afraid to break the SIM tray or it may be stuck inside so I remove the SIM on my micro sd for now.

You can try "simore sim adapter", it's unique one I used it on s7 edge, now planning to get it as soon as my note 8 will arrive

thanks for the suggestion. But I did not use and adapter on my S7 Edge. I just cut the sim contact and paste it on my sd card. I'm just afraid to do the same on my note 8 since it is a bit tight and fit compare to S7 Edge sim tray.
Some guy did it when note 7 came out, it got stuck and he couldn't remove tray.
What if this SIM but comes off, your phone will be screwed as you will likely crash it into debris trying to remove the tray

I'm trying to do it - so far no luck. The tray really seems very tight and it's not going in, seems it would get stuck - I'm gonna try scrape the card some more with a scalpel to see if it helps. Scraped off the top bump on the card - not good enough, we'll see...

seems this is the action of samsung for people doing the microsd with sim hack. Maybe someday there will be a sim card tray mod instead.

Any luck? i had a samsung A3 2017 and it worked beautifully. yes, it was tight but the youtube instructions were pretty solid. didn't have to scrape the microsd... used a very thin double sided tape
I concluded that it's impossible on the Note 8—I scraped all the plastic of on the SD card and still there was super big pressure midway through trying to force the tray in—leading me to the conclusion that the tray would get stuck inside.
Damned Samsung…

Exactly HOW do you plan to do that? Nothing to do with software but the hardware tray itself. The tray will physically only allow either one Sim and one SD card or two SIM you cannot place three in that tray there is no space to do so?

Any body else tries this on the note 8? i did the hack on my s8plus. Hoping i could just transfer it on the note 8

Like this
And it works perfectly on my note 8 as screenshot shows.
To all those afraid or interested:
1. Yes it works
2. If you are careful you will not break your phone
Best
D.
But how did you manage it? Like I said I scraped the card—made it much thinner and still when pushing the tray in I felt significant pressure, felt it would get stuck.
Can you push the tray out from the phone? Can you post a close up picture of the cards in the tray to see how much they protrude up and down?
Also failed in my case despite considerable filing. They've definitely tightened up the slot to curb on users doing this, for some reason?? But you can buy extender adapters which are very low-profile and still likely to work I'm sure. I was very disappointed to see that they combined MicroSD and Nano sim so that only one can be exclusively used in the slot. Poor design. All 3 should be possible without any difficulty! Are we not paying for this convenience?
Although anyone with Mate 8 or Mate 9 probably knows already, you can cut the SIM card to attach it to the bottom of a MicroSD card and insert two SIM cards along with an SD card.
Although it's probably not very big news, I've confirmed this also works with Mate 10, with no issues.

Good news indeed.
Mate 10 only, not Mate 10 Pro, right?

I am worried if there is a risk that SIM tray stays locked in. What do you say? Thks..
i used it before on my p9 for 1 year and half and now on Mate 10,working perfectly,nothing to worry about
To be sure before spending half a limb to by it.
The place for the second sim on mate 10 pro can host a micro-sd card ? Like on mate 8 and 9 ?
It's the only thing that make me stay on mate 9...

It is more difficult to open the sim tray, but it's possible. I did it with Mate 9 also, no problems.
so i need to cut the sim for micro as the first one
Can you attach an image? I'm not understanding how to do... A link would be useful in alternative (I didn't found it... perhaps I'm not good at searching...)

Hi eveyone. With the new Nano Memory Card from Huawei do you know of is possible to use it as extended memory in the second SIM (Mate 10 Pro?)
Doesn't work on the pro version
Hello,
This sounds weird but Note 9 killed two of my sdcards. Both of them were Samsung branded. One was new and the other was a bit old.
The only cause I can think of is that I pulled the sim tray out when the phone was still switched on. I suspect there is some kind of short circuit when the tray is pulled out.
This is a dual sim N960F/DS model.

Same thing happened to mine as well. I have the Verizon variant note 9 and it killed my SD card. Card was formatted, not removed before being ejected. Something isn't right.

Same thing for me. My Note 9 won't recognize my SanDisk 128gb card. It was random and sudden, one day it was fine, then it was missing. My laptop recognizes it and I can access what's on it, but I cannot format it. It's just half-dead in the water.
Hi,
There is any solution for sd card + 2 sim at same time?
Thanks in advance
search in youtube "Dual SIM & SD Card Work Simultaneously on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge". i tried this method and succeed.
or buy an adaptor from aliexpress. "Hybrid Double Dual Sim card Adapter".
Seen this done on other phnes by makng the simcard and sd card thinner butdoesn't seem worth attempting to getting it stuff in the phone for me
I've got it flawlessly working with this Hybrid Adapter.
2x SIM + 1x 64GB microSD
In order to make it looking a bit better, I cut a hole in my phone case and wrapped in the inside everything in black scotch tape.

2 things are needed, I sharpened the sd a little with a small file, a few millimeters carefully without damaging the card, and when I put them in I had given a slight slope to the edges of the sim so that it does not wrinkle when it is inserted. it requires patience and attention

I do the same, and finally it works.
But my sim card no more working, i think cause i have put it in acetone to remove all plastic...
But also on my mi 9 lite, i can't move apps on sd card, or agregate it with infernal storage.
So no interest...
I'm searching for a New smartphone right now...
