Hello guys.
Recently I have stumbled upon this problem - SIM slots for my Moto G (XT 1068) are not working properly.
The problem is that SIM 1 slot rarely accepts any SIM and if it does, it stays registered to network for about a minute maximum. SIM 2 slot is working more often but still not every time the SIM is recognised.
I have tried the stock 4.4.4 and stock 5.0.2 but with no luck. For custom ROMs - I have always installed the Dual SIM module which was also not helping. The SIM card I am using is working, tested on other phones.
Has anyone had the same problem or some valuable information how to fix this (I have considered the fact, that it could be a hardware problem still I have hope that it is not). I have attached a screenshot with SIM Card test, where it shows some kind of error, for what the information was not found.
I'm not familiar with the error but once I had to changed my old sim that worked fine on the old phone but didn't in the new one, I think the contacts were "molded" to the old phone pins and with the new phone it didn't have contact. Solution was to buy a new sim
I had a lot of problems with the sim slots too, they are one of the worse parts of the Moto G. In my case the problems were mechanical, one slot won´t snap or latch anymore and in both slots I had to put the sim cards in various times until the contact was ok. Self cutted sim cards didn´t work.
I solved this with sticking a piece of thin plastic onto the sim cards so when the card is inserted it can´t move anymore.
Hi to all.
My Note8 n950F not is dual sim is only mono sim.
Is possible upgrade to dualsim? Any Mods? I believe the hardware is the same!
I doubt it's the same. In DS you have a hibrid SIM card tray where the second slot is capable of holding SD card or a SIM card. With normal Note 8 you won't be able to add the SIM card in SD card slot.

Is ok question of tray,I change it.
The question is second IMEI !
There is a way but the other sim won't be active unless you activate it. Those dual sim flex cables are available
Any more explanation? What are dual sim flex cables?
Hey everyone, apologies if this has been answered but I couldnt find a clear cut explanation from searching.
I have the single sim varient of the phone and I'm aware that its possible to place a second sim via an external cable.
I was wondering if something like this would work for a single sim variant?
It's a product from Simore and its a dual sim hybrid that allows the use of two sim cards and the micro sd card.
It mentions that its made for dual sim but could someone explain to me why it wouldnt work with my model?
Asking before I make the purchase.
Thanks for all your help
Don't Know Why When I Put Dual Sim Cards In My Phone Only Sim Card 2 Works But If I Put Only 1st Sim In My 1st Sim Card Slot It Works Flawlessly? Please Help ?
Interesting. I use dual sims and mine works fine. Zero issues with either sim thus far. Can you elaborate on your experience and I'll can try to duplicate it?

Out of curiosity, do you have a sim pin set? I do on one of mine, and the phone seemed a little hit and miss at asking for the pin when it was in slot 1, instead, it basically just ignored it.
I've put my pinned sim in slot 2, and my unpinned in slot 1 and everything works fine now.
Hello,
On this page : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dipper , I can read that the mi 8 supports SD card up to 256 GB (hybrid sim slot).
Could anybody who owns this phone confirm this information ?
mi8 doesn't have an sdcard slot
Thank you Rdzeniuch
You can insert an SD card with a "Hybrid Sim Slot Phone into A DUAL SIM + MICRO SD"
Search the web and you will easily find how to do it.

Please do not spread false information, Xiaomi Mi 8 doesn't have an sdcard slot, it only have dual sim, the adapter you mention only works to add a second sim to a device that has an hybrid slot (sim + sim or sdcard)

Mr. jrafael, the fact that you are a "Senior Member" does not mean that you understand more than me or others.
I'm not "spread false information", that's what I found on the net (Mostly from India).
There are hundreds of tutorials and videos that show how to add SD CARD to MI8.
I personally have not used this technology (insert Hybrid Sim Slot) because I do not need to add SD CARD.
Next, read a post before you respond.
Anyway, have a nice day.

The issue that you dont understand is that the Xiaomi Mi 8 only have dual sim reader only, meaning the pins inside will never align to read a sdcard, a google search as you pointed out using the adapter you mention its onlt for phones that alow a sim + sim or SDcard, meaning that inside the simcard reader of the hybrid slot there are aditional pins to read a sim or a sdcard and the adapter allow you to insert the sdcard and pigtail the sim.
Again this is only possible on devices that utilize a Hybrid slot wich Xiaomi Mi 8 does not have, maybe other variants of the Mi8 like the Mi8 Pro or Mi8 Lite have that option but the Mi8 itself does not.
As you can see from GSM arena specs comparasion, the Mi8 DOES NOT support sdcard, however the Mi8 Lite does has it has hybrid sim slot. but again the person that posted the question asked about a Mi8 not Mi8 Lite

Thank you for the detailed explanation.
You may be right, but what bothered me was your comment that I was "spreading false information" so I reacted as I did before.
I emphasized that I had not tried the "Hybrid Sim Slot" on my MI8 device.
