Sprint Galaxy Nexus SIM Card

Does it have a removable sim or is it embedded?

Thus far I think all we know is that there's not a removable SIM and that the Evo LTE has an imbedded SIM for LTE and we're kinda assuming that the Sprint Gnex must also have an embedded SIM for LTE then.

There doesn't seem to be anything removable but the back and the battery.

It has an embedded sim. Dealing with sim issues right now with an AOSP build.

Confirmed embedded by someone else as well.

So much for LTE interchangeability...looks like it will be the same ol' as the CDMA vs GSM thing except with different LTE frequencies/technologies.

i've done lots of searching for this very same answer.
what i've concluded..."embedded sim" means NOTHING. it is the same **** as ESN number verification per carrier.
embedded sim simply means we are giving you 2 serial numbers on your phone to validate in our database. if your phone isn't in our database, we will NOT register your phone.

Yeah but it means that there won't be the luxury of open GSM and swapping phones etc even though they are switching to GSM technology. Its like why bother. Only a cdma carrier can screw up a GSM standard like that. Sigh...I die a bit more each day.

It's not really an embedded SIM, but much like how WiMAX used to be.

There certainly is a sim in this device.
You would know, had you ever worked on compiling AOSP for it.

Then why are sim configuration apks needed? What do you think BIP.apk is? stk.apk?
Check any stock rom.

I think is in the slot since it looks weird I wonder if I can take it off

From what I can tell, the phone does have a SIM card that's simply locked into the back of the device which can not be accessed. Anyone willing to pry open the back of the phone to see if the SIM card can be removed?

I don't know man. I saw the FCC filing photos for it and pictures of it pried open. Even given the benefit of the doubt that those pictures wouldn't include a SIM card anyways, it didn't have anywhere inside of it to place a SIM card.

BIP.apk is a proprietary apk on Sprint and Verizon. I am pretty sure it is sim related.
I don't know about this tech to really know for certain. Let me ask: Does GSM HAVE to use a sim card? Or is it more of a feature/convenience/method for carriers to authenticate devices?

Same thing. Card slot architecture is the same.
Search other phones and you will find similar results for combo SIM trays.
I don't care if you believe it. It's just a pity you are misleading others to not even try to solve their problems.

I'd love to try just like the instructions but if I mess it up it's a hassle to get a new SIM card here. Police report needs to be made and taken to the carrier. Carriers don't issue new sims without it.

Only one slot fits sdcard. But both works with 4g, you have to select which one uses 4g and which uses 2g. Dual sim manager allows you to select that.

[Q] Mi Max SIM Tray

Hi Guys,
I broke my SIM Tray the other day :crying: I live in Indian and looking for a Mi Max Golden color Sim Tray. Have already ordered on Ali Exp. however it takes really long to get an item from Ali to India, almost a month.
I have visited all the service centers in the city I live in and a couple of other citites nearby however no luck, unable to find it on eBay or any other online retailer I know of in India.
If anyone has any suggesitons please do let me know, if you know any site from where I can get it faster then Ali or any offline mode I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

No other option apart from waiting, Not available in India. Just curious How did your Sim tray broke?

Tried Dual Sim and Memory card Mod. Worked on Vodafone and Airtel setup so next tried Jio and Vodafone, was too eager and didn't check the size of Sim and Memory card and inserted it with pressure. Bingo! Sim Tray stuk and had to take it to service center to get removed.
But the Mod works so will try again.

I was thinking the same reason else there's no reason to break the sim tray, I've also tried the same mod and wasted a Jio sim, the tray was stuck, so rubbed the Jio Sim on a sandpaper (emerypaper) and the circuits broke. Well glad that you tried and were successful.:good:

I saw many videos on youtube and I have already separated the plastic from the sim tray but can you please help me with the mod by answering some questions.
1. Did you remove any glue from the back of the sim?
2. Did you grind the microsd card?
3. How did you paste the sim to the microsd?
Thanks

If the sim has a lot of glue, like a bump, you have to remove it. It slides hard enough with the sim chip clear. On some sims, after you heat them under a flame, they come off clear, on others with that big glue bump.

I dipped the Jio SIM in thinner which women use to remove nail polish for almost and hour.
After that used a switch blade to slightly remove the golden pins of the sim again dipped the sim in thinner so that it enter the golden pin part of the sim and with in a min bingo the golden pins removed from sim and its still usable.
Used Vernier caliper to checking the sim+micro sd card size.
Brushed the SD card slightly and brushed the golden pin of sim till it was slightly showing copper color. the size is appx 1.14 mm (Checked with Vernier caliper.
These are the steps hope it is helpful to you.

Sim Tray Stuck
Hi,
I tried to use double sim and memory idea that I watched from youtube for mi max. :crying::crying:
But now my sim tray even cannot be load out from the phone. I tried to pushed harder and it only bended my sim ejector.
Can you help me please with how to push the sim tray out of the phone since now I can only use one sim card (2nd sim). The 1st nano sim and memory cannot be read and also the tray now stucked on the phone.
Thanks
Regards

I had no problem doing this mod on the Redmi Note 3 because the sim tray is deep. The Mi Max tray is a lot thinner so it's easy to get the SIM card jammed against the pins. I haven't tried this mod because I don't want to take the phone apart...

U need to open the phone or take it to a service centre if u can't do it. If the SIM tray is stuck u can't get it out urself directly and u might damage the golden contact pins instead inside the phone.

Moto Z Play XT 1635-02

Hi just wondering if this is correct
I bought my Z play from handtec.co.uk
Model XT-1635-02 I'm in the UK and that particular model according to a site says it's the Brazilian country or region where sold , or is it just the generic unlocked version , maybe a stupid question but what the hell" just i wondered if it would effect my my carrier who is Life Mobile who are part of and use the EE network as by default the apn setting always defaults to something different other than the ee apn my network states to be the correct apn , although 3G and 4G work I do notice alot of signal loss/drop outs and if I have H+ at the time it comes back up G and I have to restart device to get H+ back every time ,, very annoying
Thoughts any one ? [emoji51] [emoji106]

Don't think anyone has taken the chance of bricking by flashing dual SIM firmware on a device that shipped with single SIM. I ain't trying it, even though dual SIM would be very convenient in my current circumstances.

I removed the 2nd sim cover, set build.prop as per the Moto x play thread. Net work is recognized but no signals

Question Galaxy Z Fold 3 Has Dual Sim and eSIM but not in the US Work Around Discussion ?

Looking for possible work arounds no way I'm buying a $1700. phone with Dual and eSIM disabled.
Done carrying around 2 phones
Wouldn't buying an international version be a solid option or would the US carriers still not support or disable the option ?
Galaxy Z Fold 3 has two physical SIM slots and an eSIM (but not in the US)

yeha I am totally bummed out again. I have a S21 thinking I was able to use eSIM in the US...still nothing. Now that I am getting the Fold 3... it's going to be same.

Samscum. Go ahead blame the carriers. I dare you, I double dare you.

Wondering whether we can flash EU or south american ROM on our us U our U1 model, as all fold 3 models come with snapdragon processor now? This is how I was able to get esim on US unlocked Note20 ultra U1 by flashing T-Mobile ROM.

Thats a good question Is eSIM still working on it ?
I don't see much up to date rom action in the note 20 ultra development forums no official LineageOS maybe better off just waiting for the Pixel Fold ?

I mean, I'm not disagreeing that Sammy is not partly to blame here, but T-Mobile did make the call to unlock esim on the Note 20 even after samsung refused to give esim to even unlocked models. So I do think carriers have some say in the matter as well.

I ordered the T-mobile version of the device through Samsung........assuming it will come with T-mobile SIM card, what do I do to activate, just put in the SIM and go online to T-mobile to activate the device?

I hate NA! I wish we have eSIM. I really do need two lines on my primary

I noticed there are sim pins on top and bottom when I was inserting my sim. The tray is single, but looks like it has the hardware for 2 sims.

So which one do you use?

Hello. It it known if there are any NA carriers that support eSim for Fold3 owners?

Why does it say “SIM 1” if there is only one SIM. My guess is that there is an esim but de-activated that is why the physical sim is named that way.
also on the back of the sim tray , looks like another sim card can fit. I am yet to get my fold3, but anyone with fold3 can see if a sim card sits on the back of the tray as well (PLEASE DONT INSERT IT IN THE PHONE )

so theoretically if we get a UK version sim tray , it should be easier to try and see if the dual nano sim work.

and then the question is can we flash the UK/EUROPEAN FIRMWARe to the US phone given that the hardwares are exactly the same (other than the LTE, BANDS ACCESS MODULE)
