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....
Hi,
I purchased a Lenovo P2 a few months ago and really like it. When I purchased it from the seller, he said one sim slot wasn't working so I got it at a discount and thought maybe I could fix it by changing the rom, reset to stock etc. However this hasn't worked.
When I insert a sim into sim slot 1, it shows connection for 1/2 seconds and then shows no signal. However when I insert it into sim slot 2, it works perfectly fine?
Is there any fix to this?
Thanks.
It's device faulty you need to send it back to the seller.

Hi, yes the phone will take 2 Sims. However if you want SD card in, you will need an esim from your provider. The SD card takes up a sim slot. I have mine from EE, 1 sim, an esim and SD card. Look in SIM card manager and it should show option of adding an esim. Which provider are you with?

When you mentioned that you inserted 2 sim, did you remove the sdcard? Or did you use an adapter to enable 2 sim cards and sdcard to function in the phone? If you are using the adapter, or the mod (heating up a simcard, remove the metal chip from simcard, file the microsd card slightly and stick the metal chip of the sim card on the micro sd card), samsung has blocked that since Android 9 with one ui.
For me, i use 1 esim, 1 simcard and 1 microsd card. Works just fine.
Edit: just googled SM-G986B/DS doesn't seem to have esim support. So it's either 2 simcards or 1 simcard and 1 microsd card.

Am with three and ee problem is I can't get through to customer services to get the esim and ive tried online and they say that some of my details are missing (on contract with three and pay as you go on ee)
I have now managed to activate my ee sim just was expecting it to be instantaneous but it took a couple of mins
I've got truephone for data which is o2 and Vodafone at moment until I can get a e sim ...
Question if you use normal sim and esim will they both do 5g ??

Yes, so long as it's a 5G plan your on, just configure in SIM card manager

it's possible to do through online acct.just check exactly what your ordering as can be a bit misleading, or just go on the chat. Usually takes about 2 days to come through.

Hi guys,
I just ordered a Watch4 with 4G so I ordered an eSIM for the watch but my operator deactivated my physical SIM card.
So I end up with an eSIM that I would like to put on my Red Magic 6 but I can't find any option ... Is there a way to put the eSIM in my phone or do I have to pay again for have a physical sim card again and lost $ 20 for the eSIM?
Thanks
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?
