I have a new N900 and inserted a SIM and SD card into their respective slots. I didn't notice any spring pushing against me when I inserted them. Now, I can't get them out, because there's no "push" when I push the cards to disengage them. The phone service and SD card is working while in the slots. Is this the way it's suppose to be? I got the cards out with a fine tweezer. Is there something wrong with my particular unit?

Hi,
Is there any possibility to update Phone software in TyTN or do anything to could make a sim card images ?
I have 3 sim cards and use them often, but always have to replace them in my TyTN by taking battery out and in...
If sim card is a data card, I thought that maybe there us any chance to use some software like for normal CD Image...
Have you ever heard about something like that ?
There are multi-SIM cards which offer the ability to store multiple individual SIMs and activate whichever one you want (though it's always only 1 live card at any given time). Basically, you use a computer to copy multiple SIM cards' information all onto one card, then use the multi-SIM software on the phone to switch between them.
However, most modern SIM cards are encrypted and if you try too hard to decrypt it, the SIM card can actually break as a result. For example, I'm told that most SIM cards you get in the UK these days are more or less uncrackable for this purpose. But I'm not sure about the situation in other countries.
Looking around here, I was surprised (but not too surprised) to find someone figured out how to do something that I had earlier been told was impossible: the voice recording without having to use the speaker phone/mic solution.
This made me think:
Can this and other phones be hacked such that you can put in a sim card, have it read and store the sim data, and then allow you to put another sim card in, and then another sim card, so it can be a multi-sim card phone - even without any sim physically inside the phone?
Moved to general, not ROM Dev relaeted
I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with their micro sd card slot not locking in cards. When I push the card in it clicks but just pops right back out, this is on a new phone sent from Verizon (old one had no working data).
nope no problem ive handled quite a couple fascinates... get it replaced again
a friend of mine just had this problem with her Captivate. she had to have theSD card holder and GSM card holder replaced. you need to call and have them send you a new phone.
So to make a long story short, an old straight talk sim card works on my phone but some red pocket sim cards do not. I have tried many things to make the sim cards be recognized like turning the phone off and on, taking the sim card out and putting it back in. I'm wondering if anyone knows of some reason for a new sim card to not work. I just got 10 sims from ebay so I'm going through them hoping that one will work.

nope.
I have a Galaxy S8 Dual SM-G950FD and need the ability to have a microSD along with the two SIM cards, so I'd been using a SIM card extension for this.
I updated to Pie last weekend and now, if I try to turn on the phone with the two SIM cards and the microSD, I get an error and can't do anything unless I disconnect the second SIM.
Same thing happened to the Galaxy S9: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/help/dual-sim-card-sd-card-problem-t3809073
Obviously I think this is idiotic on Samsung's part, as the hardware itself is perfectly capable of running all three components, but it seems they won't change their mind about this, so I'm looking for a way around it.
Any of you know of a way to keep using two SIM cards and the microSD at the same time on Android Pie? Or am I gonna have to flash back to Oreo and just stay there. I'd like to keep my phone updated, but if there's not going to be a way to do it, I'd rather have the two SIMs and SD functioning, over the latest updates.
Thanks in advance!
