[Q] Why doesn't micro (u)sim 'click'? - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

So, I bought samsung galaxy note 8.0. Today I went to my phone company to get myself a micro sim card. Because if have bought a 3G version why not buy a sim for it...
I tried to put the sim in my note, it get's detected but it doesn't 'click' when i push it in. Am I doing something wrong?

if it gets detected and you can access it, thats all that matters

If you are wanting two numbers to go to your phone Google Voice is the best option out there.
Thank you, but I just want to use my phone overseas when I am there, and at the same time be able to use my current USA T-Mobile sim (through Wifi.) Right now it's a hassle having to power off, take out battery, and swap sim each time.

i don't know how two SIM cards would even fit under battery of this phone it's pretty dang tight.
I found this
http://www.simore.us/us/compatibilites_200_T-Mobile_myTouch-4G_5871.php
I don't have one but the prices are expensive for these? I too would like to have a dual sim card adapter.
Then it also says this
The T-Mobile myTouch-4G has not yet suffered full compatibility tests

Don't know what that means.

I'm guess it's really bad engrish for " we have not tested the MyTouch4G with this product yet "

With most dual sim adapter you would have to cut the sims. There are some that dont require cutting but the adapter would be dangling from the phone, which can be concealed with the case (the special scratch protector case.)

Yeah, I also found this (before I posted the question here.) It means the myTouch 4G is not fully tested for compatibility. If you look at some of the other phone models, it would say something like "....fully tested and compatible..."
I was just hoping to see if anyone ACTUALLY used one of these for the myTouch 4G.
Also I read really bad reviews on Simore. About the product not working and can't get a refund. So I dont think I will try them.

No SIM????

Okay, so I got my Galaxy Nexus today... went to put my SIM card in, and it refuses to acknowledge it. I thought maybe it was due to a very old SIM card, so I went in to T-Mobile, explained my situation, and they replaced it with a new SIM card free of charge. Problem is... the Nexus still REFUSES to read it. It keeps saying 'No SIM/Emergency Calls Only'. Help please?
Is the phone new or used? And do you have warranty? It could be because of the phone
It's used. It came pre-rooted with AOKP on it... I was thinking this might be the problem? So, I'm in the middle DLing the GNexRootToolkit to return it to complete stock, and see if that helps. Any other thoughts?
are all the pins there? If any of the pins in the SIM slot are bent or broken, it won't read the SIM.
I also find it hilarious that people buy used phones without knowing for sure the SIM slot works (one reason to only buy locally for used devices). I personally will never buy a used phone that is also rooted/unlocked/ROM'd. I don't wanna get some hand-down phone that's been messed with. If they can't be bothered to return it to stock, I won't buy it.
Okay, that seemed to fix it. Thank you for the quick replies!
Can't believe you bought a phone without checking if it worked. Smh. Well, glad it worked out for you.

[Q] No LTE

So i got my note 4 in the mail and i put the sim card i had in my gnex into the phone. Now when i use the N4, i dont connect to LTE, im only connected to 3g. Ive tried switching it to LTE/CDMA but it still wont go. Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I called Samsung after trying everything at the Verizon store, including replacing the sim card, and they had no idea. All this means is I get to delay the phone swap another 9-13 business days according to what Samsung told me. Hopefully by then the wizards on here will work their magic and have us not only root but a custom rom to flash. I don't mind TW but I really prefer the control of a custom rom.

idk if it'll help, but a factory reset might do it. Just a suggestion.
Tried that and still no 4g. I've also tried three different sim cards. Still no 4g. Only real option is to get it fixed. Oh well. Still loving my note 2.

If you ask me, it sounds like the 4G antenna isn't working properly or it could have been a bad batch of phones.
OP Here, i got the problem fixed so heres how.
i plugged in the sim card that came with my phone and noticed that that sim was connecting to 4g, but didnt have a number attached to it. i called verizon and the dude switched my phone number onto the new sim card and now all works fine so if you dont have lte try that and good luck.

Yeah unfortunately that didn't work in my case. It's on it's way to being fixed or replaced by Samsung. I'll have it back in a week or so. I've waited this long for it what's another week. Still have my rooted, romed, and custom kerneled Note 2 to use until that comes back.

The phone can't recognize my sim card

Hey,
I got the phone yesterday and after putting in my cut nanosim the phone didn't recognize it and showed "no sim card" message.
I tried to put an other nanosim and it didn't work. After that, I came to my mobile customer service and even they couldn't fix it.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Same problem here
Bought my brother the phone last week, still not working!
Could really use some help, thanks in advance
was the sim pre-cutted or did you cut it yourself? because nano-sims are thinner than micros, and they don't always work if self-cutted

I suggest you to try with an hard reset, just to exclude software problems.
If it doesn't work I would contact google to rma it

[HELP] No sim card - Emergency calls only - LG G3 D855

Hello guys, i have some issues with my LG G3. As the title says, the phone isn't reading the sim card, sometimes, it's working just fine, for a couple of minutes, then, a countdown begins, saying "No sim card detected", in 10 seconds my phone will reboot and that's it. "No sim card detected" again.
Every other aspect is working just fine.
Things i've already tried:
- Switching sim card and switching the sim carrier.
- Replacing sim card & microSD reader.
- Pressing down the sim card at the startup.
- Hard / Factory reset.
All of those for nothing.
I'm thinking is an software problem, is that possible?
Exactly the same problem!! Has been in and had a new sim tray, worked for 3 days then back to no sim, no service, emergency calls only. Taped down sim, changed sim, factory reset, nothing!! I am so frustrated! It's only just over a year old too so I'm not due an upgrade and it's out of warranty.
I have same problem

unfortunately, this has nothing to do with our problem, my g3 shows the correct IMEI. will try to heat the area of the motherboard located behind the sim card reader with my heatgun. some guy got it to work like this ( though he did not show any actual evidence supporting his claim, and neither did i ask for it)
