Hi Guys, Let discuss about how to insert sim and microSD card simultaneously. I tried myself and destroyed 3 SIM and 3 microSD cards and still want to try out. Any one tried this for Huwaei P8 GRA-UL00 Dual SIM.
Looking for suggestions and advice from P8 Dual SIM users.
Hi all, I did it, now 2 SIM & Memory Card working simultaneously
It's time to stop.
Nice, can you tell me please what means the squares?

it means you should determine which side is upper and which is lower side before you attach the sim. and about the circle, make sure that it should be as per the attached pic, the sim chip must be within the memory card.

I really want to do this, i almost get it, can you please post a pic with the cards over the slot?
See the attachment

I tried but can't insert it into the phone because of the thickness of the sd&sim .

yes, can pull, but it comes out to about half. Be careful not to separate it from your smartphone

From what I noticed, the paper has to be completely inserted into the smartphone to be able to insert the SIM card.
I don't know if there as insert it again on your smartphone if it is removed.
You will have to remove it.
otherwise the SIM will not fit.
I have been through it.
Hey guys,
did anyone tried to use 2 simcards and sdcard with the new 2017 A series phones? with the sim card cut and glued to sdcard method?
I tried it, but for some reasons the phone doesn't see the sim card glued to the sdcard. I tried the sim in another phone ( normal microsim slot ), and it works.
I was thinking, maybe Samsung disabled this feature from firmware... curios if anyone got it working.
Thanks.
did anyone tried?
sorry to bump an old thread - i have a 2017 A3 and have the same inquiry. did anyone try this and succeed ?

I think i read somwhere that the sim might be pushing the sd card away of the pins. Maybe adding tape over the top of the sd might resolve it.

I've tried nano sim card adapter/extender and it's work just fine. You can buy one of them at aliexpress.com :fingers-crossed:
it works

I can confirm that it works! both, the 2 sims and the sd-card are working flawlessly!
The whole process might appear a bit risky but in my case it was absolutely easy and the result is great!
I´m using an SAMSUNG 64gb sd-card - i only sanded off the small upstand at the end of the card by using an nail-file.
For getting the chip out of the sim, a simple hair-dryer with approx. 60°-80°C worked!
Hi
how can i use my 16 year old sim card (micro-sim (3ff) and a nano sim (4ff) in the Galaxy-S9 ?
so is there maybe any adapter to do this ?
thanks

I don't believe so. While the slot 2 is large enough for a micro Sim, I believe it wouldn't work. Slot 1 uses a nano Sim and slot 2 either a nano Sim or micro SD card. The SD card is oriented one direction and the Sim is oriented a different direction in the 2nd slot. I've never seen an adapter that would make the nano sit sideways in the 2nd slot and I doubt that old micro Sim would trim down that much without cutting into the metal. Surely your carrier will replace the old card with a newer all-in-one Sim.
Maybe the folks that have a dual sim phone will have more of an idea on this.
Hi @Tel864
I thought maybe something like that for S9:
https://www.amazon.com/UTP-Universal-Adapter-Extender-Android/dp/B07C7G35L6
where i can attach this in the sim slot and put my micro sim extern
any idea
thanks

I've never seen that. Something like that may work but I'm not sure about that one since it's for a different brand. When I searched for Galaxy S9 Sim card adapter in Google I did get lots of hits so you might try that. The one you posted is from a 3rd party seller so I'm not sure how easy it would be to return.
If you look at the different sizes of sim card, full sized, micro and nano have the same pin layout, it is just the plastic borders that differs. It could be a bit risky but you could cut the plastic edge off and make them into a nano sim without any trouble. I've done this and it works perfectly on my s9. Don't know if the chip under the contact pad is bigger on older sims though.

People have recently been reporting those adapters being recognised by the OS and rejected with a warning about a problem with the SIM Tray
Why not just get the SIM card replaced with a Nano SIM?
Or trim it yourself if the chip itself is small enough

Might work, but some of those old Sims had a larger contact area, especially those 16 year old ones like he has.
I'm coming across from the Note 8 and I have been running two sims plus an SD card inbthe hybrid slot. When I install the same in the Note 10 it says something is wrong with the Sim tray slot. There is zero function of the phone till I remove the Aim card slot.
Does anyone know why it won't work in the Note 10 or someone has it working?
Thanks

Unfortunately Samsung stopped this from happening.
Now, if all circuits (2x sim and 1x sd card) are detected in use, the device displays the Sim tray error and prevents you using the device until you remove either a sim card or the sd card.
This was introduced on Note 8 on certain firmwares and now applies to all newer released hybrid sim devices.
I'm guessing this is to avoid users damaging their devices as the hybrid sim tray was never designed to support all 3 circuits at once and did require some skill to ensure sim tray could still be inserted/removed.
I too was annoyed this happened, but can understand it is to prevent warranty issues.

It's there a way to get around this?
So what I managed to do if anyone else is in the same situation as me is. I took the sim/SD out and I can't remove the sim card from the SD card because the SD card holds it in the correct place. So I just copied all data off the SD card and painted over the connector of the SD card so it won't detect it, and now it only detects the Sim card. So both Sims are working now.
When there is a work around I will do that and use some paint remover to clear the connections of the SD card. But I do have a 1000gb SD card waiting to be filed and replace this one. I didn't use tape because I was too afraid it might come off and get stuck inside.
Because this sim is from a different country where my internet banking is linked to, is very important to have and because I dont go back to that country for 2 months I can't just ask for a replacement. So this is my best case for now.

The good thing to know is that you can have both 2x sims card + a sd card even on a Global variant with only a single hybrid sim tray.
All you need is to be fearless, a candle and some glue
Used that method on mine, working like a charm.
Regards.
thx for tip?

I suppose you put the sdcard on top of the sim. How did they fit in though? The slot is quite thin.

Yes. I wont lie to you you kind of have to brute force it back inside, but it gets in and out in the end with some patience and some located strength (as long as you do not keep taking them in and out all the time it is ok).
To make it work you have to 'peal' the Sim chip off its plastic support. That's basically the trick. But that's an handy one.
What I wonder thought is if the Indian flavor of the phone with that extra dedicated Sim tray, has an hybrid tray bellow, meaning wondering if that trick could make them have 3x sims + 1x SD. I suppose not, but still curious.
