Hello.
I got my phone from service yesterday and I have noticed that SD card doesn't fit properly in SD tray. The card is Kingston 16 GB and if I move tray a bit then card works fine. I have tried two SD cards and it seems to be the tray or something else. Both cards are working in my Z1. Is it because of tray or something else? It is E5653 device and it is running 5.1, no 6.0.1 upgrade available yet.
Thanks in advance.
I would say either the tray or the internal contacts.
Try installing the card and tray then slip a suitably sized thin piece of paper behind the back of the tray and see if that helps. If it does then it's probably a problem with the contacts.

I keep getting a usb storage damaged message. I have read that it is sometime an issue with the galaxy s3. Also sometimes when I first unlock the phone it says prepping sd card even though I did not remove it.
Also my SD card is a SanDisk 64gb class 10. I have read that this can be an issue with a certain crop of SanDisk.
Any tips? As of right now entitling works and if it's just messages popping up.

Have you tried using the SD card in other devices and on a computer?
I had a *similar* problem with an old MicroSD card in my original Galaxy phone and formatting the card seemed to work. I can't speak too much to your issue because the largest MicroSD card I've used is 32 and it's been flawless.
Yeah, verify across devices first. If not, try filing a claim with SanDisk if you purchased the sdcard only recently and it's already gone bye-bye.
Yesterday I inserted a micro SIM card into the slot which should take in normally the SIM card tray.
The card fits perfectly
But when I noticed my mistake I couldn't remove this card.
No chance with the SIM removal tool.
No chance with a paper clip.
No chance with a tweezers.
Maybe anybody here with an idea?
My last chance is to open the Pixel XL, but it should be the LAST chance!
Thank you!
Just to let people know, I used a $1 "Hybrid Double Dual SIM Card Micro SD Adapter" and it works fine, my second SIM is recognized and I still have my SD card
Can you post a direct link, just for sure.
I bought this one, there is dozens on AE or eBay etc. It's just a "SIM slot extender", no electronic inside, but it works well.

Warning, it seems Android 10 disable SIM2 if there is an SD card!

Very interesting!

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.
slipped a new 64gb card in the expandable slot and loaded file explorer and it doesnt show it
I have an otg connector which does show up with 2 other micr sd cards I inserted that has data on it already.
what can I check if the phone is defective or its some software setting?
never mind. dumb ass here. nothing to see move along
memory card goes at the bottom, not top
