Gnex from Verizon can be transformed into gsm?

I think not, but some sellers on ebay are putting so in the description of the announcement.

Well the LTE SIM is of a standardized SIM size. That's not the problem.
yeah, you can't do this OP.

I thought the lte sim is a micro sim card which wont fit the normal sim card...

Micro SIM is a standardized SIM size. You can cut "normal" SIMs (which is actually a Mini SIM) to go into Micro slots, and you can use adapters to put Micros into Mini slots. This is how people run iPhones on T-Mobile (cut a T-Mo SIM), and use iPhone-provisioned Micro SIMs in normal GSM devices (put in an adapter).
But like I said, this isn't part of the issue. The problem is incompatible radio hardware that can't be changed. I was just stating that the physical sizes of the card and slot aren't the issues.

thanks for clearing that up.. I had to click the "thanks" button also b/c i was number 300.. lol

Is there any fix for new tmobile micro sim cards because data wont work on them

Data on newer tmobile micro sim cards in US will not work with international htc one x this is a fact now its impossible to manuelly or automaticly set up apn, phone refuses to recognize new micro sim and even when you fill all fields in apn settings and save phone itself just reset everything and delete new apn and message is there is no sim card,however calls and sms works but data no,i tryed even various apps from market like apn global and others its the same its just not possible,i found out only that older tmobile sim cards they call them non gba sim card will work, those are one withouth pictures of people painted so just plain white with pink tmobile letters and they needs to have number 50.01.im using different carrier then tmobile i have data normaly but im trying to sell this phone and i get 2 deals cancelled because of this is there any different solution then chasing old tmobile cards and they are pretty rare now.

There probably won't be a fix coming anytime soon. I'm one of the unfortunate ones without a old micro sim card. However, you could first talk to customer service online, and let them know this issue you're having. (Make sure they put a note on file based on the chat stating that the micro sim card you're looking for is a 50.01 not a 50.05 or any newer.) Then call customer service and tell them that you spoke to a customer rep online and please check the note on file regard sending out a correct replacement micro sim card. I believe they think that a 50.05 micro sim card is also a non gba sim card. I'm hoping the replacement micro sim card arriving next week would be the correct one. If not, cut your old sim card into micro sim size and use it on your One X.

Im not having problems im simple mobile user,i was selling one x and that the reason im asking because data wont work,but i sold the phone anyway that issue with tmobile its because 4G data

My newer micro sim did not allow me to save the Tmobile apn . Switched it to my wife's older sim that I cut down to a micro for her iphone. Entered the T-Mobile APN hit the save button and of course it worked. I was then surprised when I switched my sim back in and it still worked. Had a few 50.01 SIMS ready but did not have to cut any down and call T-Mobile to switch them.

[Q] No Sim Card error

Hi Alls,
My company change mobile operator and give me new sim card. The Sim circuit is small like microsim. Unfortunately, it always show no sim card when I insert it into my Arc S. This Sim works perfectly with other phone. I borrow my friend' one full size Sim which the same operator with my new sim card, insert into my phone and it works!
I try to align the Sim circuit with phone Sim holder plates, flash different ROMs, baseband but no use.
Currently I'm with Arconium 4.0.
Please help.
Thank you very much.

Hi @jackup
This sounds like the obvious answer is the right one...
...You should get your mobile operator to give you a sim card that fits your phone.

Yes, but this is the last solution and I'm not sure the new operator willing to supply the full size Sim or not. I'm still want to know why my Arc can not recognize the Sim.
Thanks!

Dual sim and SD card simultaneously

I live in Europe and thinking about getting the G8s (we only have this version). Did anyone try to use the dual sim+sd card hack that you have on samsung phone? Cut a sim, polish it down and glue it to the bottom of an SD card. Then you can use two sims and and sd card simultaneously. One can also use a sim extender to achieve the same result.
Samsung implemented a software block on this since android pie, not sure if LG has the same.
Thanks in advance!
edit: it does work. Just tried on a phone.

Please post instructions so I may try this....

could you let me know how you got the DUAL SIM to work? what settings/software/app's you had to use? I'd like to make it work thru factory software if possible
THANKS,
MS

Question Dual sim tray disabled in software (SM-S901U1)?

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Galaxy S22 (SM-S901U1 - S901U1UEU2AVF7) from Google Fi with the intention of using 2 physical SIM cards and 1 eSIM on it.
On Samsung's website (https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s22/specs/) it says some models have "two Nano SIMs and one eSIM".
Upon receiving my S22, I took out the tray and noticed it could only fit one physical SIM card, however, looking at the sim card slot through a stereo microscope it looks like there are SIM card contacts on either side of the slot (meaning the physical connection is there).
Also, doing a `*#06#` shows IMEI1, IMEI2, and EID; which to me signifies the phone itself could support the "two Nano SIMs and one eSIM" option.
I went ahead and bought an S22 replacement SIM card tray with support for 2 SIM cards, and put another SIM card on it but can only see "SIM 1" and "eSIMs" under "SIM card manager".
It honestly looks like Samsung disables the second SIM card in software for the US market.
Can anyone here confirm my suspicion and if so, do you know if there is a way to change that software restriction? Thanks

The second IMEI is specifically for the eSIM, the EID is what one would consider the ICCID if it was a physical SIM.
Only models outside the US have the option of a dual physical SIM.

Thank you for your response.
Do you know if that is a limitation imposed by hardware differences (i.e.: the US version is missing a radio or SIM card slot) or is it imposed by software?
(I have purchased a dual SIM tray to put into my S22)
If it is the latter, would flashing a ROM from a region with support for dual sim cards (and the same processor) enable dual sim cards for the S901U1?
Cheers

I wouldn't know if the hardware doesn't support it.
If I had a guess, it would probably be locked at the baseband with software, similar to the OnePlus 9 Pro. The latter was later confirmed by users; even though the hardware was the exact same across all devices of that model, changing to a different ROM changed nothing as the baseband retained its state.
Also, most if not all non-US models use the in-house Exnyos SOC, so finding a stock ROM to determine this would prove difficult.
Someone might take a poke using QPST and other diag tools. I can't currently do so myself.

Hello TS! Do you have an update here?
