there has been several mentions of the Samsung phones since the S8 housing the dual sim hardware on a very high percentage of phones, but nobody has cracked several open to prove/disprove this. Try it, see what happens, report back

Tried putting another sim card in my unlocked note 2, then replaced my sim which is I inside an adaptor to allow a nano sim to fit....alas I am now constantly getting the message no sim.
Have reflashed back to stock, reset, even tried another sim card still the same no sim, even though my imei number etc is in tact, please help

your problem is hardware, not software.
you busted your sim module. you have to buy a new sim module. probably one of the small metallic pins caught the hinges of your adaptor when you pulled it out.this is why your sim is no longer read after pulling out your sim.
Thanks for that, that's what it seems like, needs a new sim tray, apparently £35 fitted, so not to bad
I bought this phone 4 days back and I am facing a sim slot issue. In slot 1 there is no spring so that when I want to bring out the sim I just have to press the sim and it would pop out...instead I have to use a safety pin to get get the sim out...pushing the sim doesn't do anything. Slot 2 works fine...anyone of u faced this problem??? Should I take it to service center already.?

Are u using a proper nano Sim or u just cut it using a sim cutter ?
When i bought this phone i had the same issue as i was using a sim which was cut to nano sim size using a sim cutter, latter i went to Airtel and got a Nano sim and since then no issue what so ever
I suggets you to visit your operator showroom and get a new nano sim and it shll be fine
Press thanks if I helped you
No...I have got a nano sim from Vodafone but still same issue....most of the phones have this issue...strange thing....
I'm going to be traveling internationally in a few months, and more than likely going to end up on a local SIM where I'm going for while I'm there.
On the single SIM tray there appears to just be a spacer molded into the tray where a second sim would go in the dual sim version. I'm thinking about ordering a dual SIM tray from China on eBay (10 bucks) so I can use the second sim slot in the tray as storage for my not in use sim.
Anyone know of any reason this shouldn't work? I can't think of any reason it shouldn't...

You'll have to flash a dual sim firmware package but there's issues with flashing firmware that's not what originally was installed on your moto z play.
You could ultimately loose your IMEI , Which would render your phone useless.
It's just easier to sim unlock and insert a single sim.

I'm already sim unlocked (have the US unlocked version courtesy of republic). My intention is to only use whichever sim is in slot 1. I'll manually pull the tray and switch sim positions when I need to switch. I just want the second slot as dead storage space for the unused sim card. Just wondering if there's something physical in the guts of the single SIM version that could be damaged by or cause damage to the unused sim in slot 2 of the tray. Or if there's something physically different about the dual SIM tray that will not allow it to fit in the single SIM version of the device.
Definitely no flashing of dual SIM firmware happening on this device.
You should be fine. Just make sure that the active sim goes in the same slot as where it would go in the single-sim tray and the inactive sim go in the spare slot. It's a good way to not lose a sim card. I was thinking of doing this for my single-sim, carrier variant Moto x play, but never bothererd.

Thanks. Avoiding losing a sim while on my trip is my primary reason for doing this. Guess I'll give it a shot!
Update:
Received dual Sim tray from China today (13 days order to door, $10 shipped on eBay)
Visually compared both, they seem basically identical, with the exception of some type of serial number sticker on the original single Sim tray.
Fit isn't quite perfect - the angle of the outer piece of the tray isn't quite right, so it's a tiny bit recessed into the edge of the phone on one end, and slightly raised on the other end. Enough to be visually noticed if you're looking for it, and can be felt running a finger nail over the seam between the edge of the phone and the Sim tray. Don't believe it's enough to present any "catch" issues if running naked, and a total non issue if using a case or bumper.
No apparent functional issues - device connects fine using Sim 1 slot in tray. Did not feel any unusual resistance when inserting tray with both Sims aboard. Obviously doesn't see the Sim in slot 2.
Nice to be able to carry both my Sims with me, worry free. Worth the money for my use case.
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.
So the Australian model for some reason goes one single physical sim and an esim rather than dual physical sim+ esim. Hopefully we can start a discussion to see if we can convert it to a dual physical sim by changing csc and getting a physical dual sim tray
does the phone itself has support for second physical sim?
Looking inside the slot the pins are there, but the sim holder only has space for one sim, currently, there are no replacement trays available so I can test it.
