Hi,
I today cuted my macro Sim-card into a micro one to feet in s 4. I must have done it wronge.
When i pushed the SIM-card into the phone it went fine. But when i try to remove it, it is stuck. It was maybe still some big and when i cuted. When i click so the holder removes the card it does nothing. I really don't want to damage it. So i ask here if anyone can know a way to show me to remove the sim card? Or I must take to a repair shop?
Thank you
Use a tweezer and gently pull the card from the slot. It happened to me once on galaxy note 2 and the tweezer saved the day.

Picked mine up Contract Free from PCWorld. On Wifi it works great. But, I have a really stupid problem with inserting a SIM in the device and getting it to stay in.
I have tried inserting both a giffgaff PAYG and a Three PayMonthly SIM (full size)following the directions in the booklet and watching a couple of YouTube videos.
With screen facing me, insert SIM with gold contacts facing down and cut out notch on lower left. If I hold the SIM card, the phone will reboot and I have network connectivity. However the SIM will not stay in place even with the slot cover in place it comes free. There is no reassuring click when I insert the SIM card, I have tried other ways of inserting the card, there is a click, the card is held in place but the phone does nort recognise a SIM has been inserted. So I'm pretty sure my method is correct.
Help, Im at the pointy of taking this one back. A quick search on XDA and google does not reveal any meaningful results.
Regards,
Mike
Cut out notch is on the top left...look at the picture on the SIM card slot...
I keep my finger nails short, and I found that I could not insert either the SIM card, or a micro-SD with my fingers. I needed to push down on both with a pen.
Hope this helps.

I did have this problem of the tab not recognising my simcard when I first inserted it. I was sure it was done correctly.
Try taking out the sim card and rubbing the chip with an eraser. Clean off the residue before inserting it back. You may still see no service after the phone has rebooted. Be patient n wait for a while more. The signal will come. This solved my problem. I hope it helped you too.

pushing the SIM in with the tip of a pen has done the trick. I guess my fingers were just to fat!
Thanks
Mike
Nah, I had the same problem too and I have thin fingers, solved it by using a business card that was next to me
You just need to use your nails for these damn cards / slots, and mine are always too short to do the job.
Hmm
As I figured out today, it's obvious when the sim is in correctly, because it goes in much deeper and doesn't look anything like it might obstruct the closing of the "flap".
I had to use a long nail to get it in the correct way round (did it while the tab was on) and as soon as it was in the tab detected it and rebooted itself.
Hi there,
So I just received my Nexus 4 today, the first thing I did was cut my normal sim --> micro sim so I can use it on the nexus 4. I was successful in doing so and my phone is working perfectly. However, the problem i'm having is I didn't trim down the thickness of the sim card, and now my sim tray is stuck (unable to eject with the ejector tool). It does "try" to eject cause I see the edges pop out a bit, but not enough for me to get a good grip to fully pull it out.
Since the phone is working perfectly, I'm not really in a rush, but it's just annoying and for the future of getting new plans.
What should I do? Call Google for a new phone for my fail or will mobile store be able to help me?
Thank you.

ohh wow. I suggest using a tweezer or a needle to pull the tray out. Once out, GET A new micro sim and put it in.

Took a break last night from trying so hard to get it to eject. So this morning I tried again, the 2nd time it managed to eject just SLIGHTLY more that gave me enough grip to pull it out. Afterward, I sanded down the back of the sim card to make it thinner, then insert it in again, test multiple time carefully to see if it'll freely eject. Works perfectly now.

Just walk into a T-Mobile store to change your sim card. It's free and in some cases, older sim cards will have problems with newer phone.
Maybe this is old news, but I removed the back, and hidden under it is a second sim slot. I tried putting in a sim, but not detecting it. Maybe if I flash a different rom it will work. Is this old news?

There is only one sim slot on my 1625 and it's beneath the back cover next to the sd slot.

Ahh ok. I know someone that had a ZenFone2 with dual sims and put a prepaid sim in the 2nd slot to receive calls from his Google voice #. Are you trying your main sim in that slot because you may need a sim in slot 1 to get anything on the 2nd slot. It will probably only be good for calling or sms but not data.

Ive tried 2 sims at the same time. but my main is a CDMA and that could be causing issues. Maybe if i try 2 gsm.

Interesting find! However, doubt it will work without flashing the dual SIM variant ROM.
I'm very interested to see if that second slot is still pinned / hooked up.
Hi guys. I recently bought an LG G6. When I first got it I was taking out the sim card tray to put in the sim, the sd card part of the tray ended up breaking off and it is now stuck in the phone, I could still use the sim card so Ive been using it like that for a week. But then I had to take the sim card out of the phone and when I did that the sim card part broke off too and got stuck in the phone. I had a thought to just open up the phone and remove the stuck parts. Have any of you guys done this before?

Google G6 disassembly and you should get step by step how tos
I watched a disassembly and it looks like you would need to do a complete disassembly, not just take the back off. I would contact LG to see if they would cover it under warranty.

Hi, I have a SIM CARD TRAY broken and I do't have signal. It said "No SIM Card installed". Only "Emergency call" banner.
You can share a picture of your SIM TRAY of your broken piece to compare it with mine.
Thanks.

Facing the problem of no service and no sim card detected on my v20 after a reboot or randomly ,i ve tried every thing and found out that the problem is coming from the sim card reader ,there is a space left between the sim card and the reader causing the problem ,the fix is to full the space with a small paper or something to force the sim card into the reader
I know this is a necro post, but I wanted to confirm that this DOES indeed work. I got a second hand V20 from eBay today and couldn't get the thing to recognize the SIM Verizon was giving me at all. Gotta go back tomorrow to have them activate it now that I know this trick works on this phone!!

I ended up sending the phone back for exchange, after a small 1" drop the SIM was dislodged and the adapter broke and got a new one which didn't have the issue, so I unfortunately don't have any pictures. The best way however to place it is to ensure that it is directly over the SIM card and goes into the slot with your SIM, it should be providing some pressure on the back of the SIM to push it into the slot firmly, but not bulge the MicroSD adapter's metal too much, if you've done that, a fall may just break your SIM reader.
