Sorry this might be off topic but I think I've seen some pictures of people using 2 Sims with an sd card on the ascend mate 7 but unfortunately no one has really come up with the correct way to do it without problems. Pls for those that have already done it kindly post the detailed procedure here. I have an idea though so I'll just post the little I know
1. Backup your SIM contacts and msgs.
2. Hold the SIM with a pair of scissors or pliers and heat the plastic part under the chip with a tiny flame to remove the chip.
3. I saw someone recommend scratching the sd card on a rough surface. Pls don't do it as it will damage your card. Damaged my 64gb card for me and is actually the reason I haven't finished the mod yet.
4. Glue the SIM chip to the sd card and try inserting into the phone. It might be a bit tight but with a little effort it should slot in.
5. Pls feel free to post a better method thanks

That is correct. And I'm the guy who said rub (not scratch) you microsd card on a mildly rough surface to smoothen everything and improve your chances of being able to slot-in the card-sim combo. If you do it WITH SENSE, your chances of ruining your cards are slim. I didn't spoil a single microsd card.
Well I happened to damage mine while trying. Maybe I'll get a new card and retry.

You officially have the option of using two Sims on the mate 7 but you would have to forgo an SD card as the 2nd Sim uses the same slot as the SD
The Mate 7 is a better device.
The dual sim option of the honor 6 isn't generally available.
You would miss the fingerprint scanner

Man I HAVE Mate7 (single) and I HAD Honor 6 (dual) OK?
And had two SIMs + sd card at once..
Never had any issue..
But I thought that there is reces for nano sim so I was concerned why it won't fit together..

It won't fit together officially because the nano sim uses the same slot/sim tray with the SD card

I know it uses same slot, but I thought they made the recess that both can be fitted at once but no.. never mind.. point is that this is stupid design
Honor 6 has it best.. dunno why they did share slot..
i m an owner of an ascend mate 7 dual sim ..
it is nice to know that if i could manage to fit the nano sim and the microSD in the slot at the same time they will work simultaneously.
Do we really need to remove the plastic part from the nano sim ? couldnt they fit together if just put one above the other ?
Also, is everyone sure this doesnt damage the fone ?
Thank you

Well I herd some guy here that he fokop slot 2 ripped all contacts.. so better if u remove plastics.

My new NST does not seem to read my Sd cards anymore (I was able to use it only a couple of times). I don't really remember forcing the card but I don't really feel the spring in the slot anymore. Since I don't live in the US, I can't go to a BN store unfortunately. What can I do? I would appreciate any pointers and help?

I faced this problem before... After I replaced the SD card with original SD card HC
it is worked well.. If your SD card original HC then make format by PC using USB card reader..

I think his problem is that the spring in the SD reader broke, not the SD card itself.
The card used to work so it's probably Sd vs SDHC issue. Also, I slide the card all the way in and use my nail to take it out, rather than pushing on the spring. I wonder what exactly happened. I have owned and used many devices with SD card slots and soemthing like this has never happened to me.

Sorry a typo. I agree with you that it's probably not an SDHC issue.
I would prefer the spring as well but it's not working for some reason. I still don't understand why or how the slot could have been damaged (this seems to be the only explanation). If that's the case, the SD card slot must be very very fragile.

The tray itself is soldered on to the board. So might be tricky, depends how confident you are at removing and re-soldering one.
I have the same problem.. Any tutorials?
My SD Card reader is dead as well. Samsung refused to repair it because Knox was tripped. I am wondering if there is a tutorial for how to repair/replace it. I have searched youtube and Google and have not found anything yet.
Best thing is find a phone shop (independent) and pay them the 20 or so to fix it for you tbh

So here is the AXON Sim Tray.
View attachment 3792627
It looks like it is either SD Card or Sim Card and not both at the same time with the way the slot works. (People who have it can confirm whether or not it's true.) But I have a theory of how to get both at the same time.
View attachment 3792628
With the above photo, you can see that I took the sim card out of they plastic using a hair dryer, some scissors to cut the edges off, & a knife to separate it from the plastic.
View attachment 3792629
We can then take the card & attach it to the back of the SD card. Theoretically it should be able to read all 3 cards at the same time. The pins are clearly visible for the SD Card and both sim cards when in the slot. I'm in the US so I won't be able to test my theory out until it launches here, if someone wants to try it and report back that would be awesome! I'll end up getting this phone regardless, but if this works it'd just be icing on the cake!
Edit: Thanks to 'jkuczera' we have a couple videos for you to see it.
We have confirmation that the mod works for the Axon 7 guys! 2 Sim cards & an SD card!

Wow, nice idea! I thought about opening the phone and see if there's room inside to move the contacts for the second SIM card to a different place, maybe with flat cables, but in this case, the second SIM wouldn't be replaceable on the fly.
How thick is the disassembled SIM card? Is the chip flat enough to minimize the pressure on both cards? I think about if we have to worry about both SIM and SD card getting damaged.
hmm...damn didn't know about that Slot when i preorderet one...
But this hack is awesome as hell! i think i gonna do it when i got the phone and some reports, that this truly will work.
I'd be worried about this getting stuck in the phone if I tried it

I thought about using double sided tape but it would really need to be thin. The great thing about the hot glue is it can be removed cleanly and won't stick to the inside of the phone.
I haven't had any problems yet and I anticipate the phone would be in pretty bad shape if it received the force required to dislodge the SIM card.
Hi, Guys
Planning to get my Galaxy S8. I'm upgrading from Galaxy S7.
I'm a bit concern regarding the possibility of having Dual Sim + Mirco SD capability on Galaxy S8.
Can someone confirm if this is feasible on Galaxy S8 as well?
Thanks,
Xelir
nope. Its hybrid dual sim. You can either use two sims or one sim and one microsd.

Nice, can you post the method you used? There are few different videos on youtube. Did you cut the plastic from the tray or removed the plastic from sim and paste it on back of card? Did you had to trim the card too or not?
Can you show how you did it?
Fail to do it..
Hi, thank you for sharing that you have succeeded on dual sim + sd card.
I have try my own and fail to do it.. I try to use sandpaper and thin the front part of the sd card, FAIL!! The sd card is unreadable.. better don't try anything like that.
Compare to S7 edge it's completly different, S7 edge is much easier to do as Samsung S8 sd card slot is very tight and limited space. That's why I am so curious how you succeeded on that, we all are very curious.
I was hoping that you can share with us how you succeed on dual sim + sd card.
Looking forward for the sharing.. maybe, just a suggestion that you can post on youtube as there are none yet showing how to do. You might get hundreds maybe thousands of like and thanks.
never try thinning ur mSD card using sandpaper or any method especially bottom (back) side as it contains very sensitive tiny circuits. my 128GB samsung evo+ damaged due to this.

From what I understand, you can scrape off the edge on the micro sd that's supposed to help give a grip to pull it out. Then scrape the top part till the lettering is gone. From what I was told, this should give just enough headroom for both the sd and SIM.

Hi all in XDA land
I recently bought this stunning phone and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
On my travels through Google I have noticed many like mine are advertised as Dual SIM models, whereas mine is a single SIM Vodafone model.
My question to the community is this, is it possible to convert the phone to a dual SIM and what would I need to do to make the second SIM work?
I have inspected the second SIM slot and it appears that the hardware to read the SIM is present physically, so it seems that it's more of a software/firmware related thing.
Thanks in advance.

That's awesome, but Chimera is paid software. I have previously looked into it and it costs $200. It's enough that I could go buy a new dual SIM phone and have change.
It defeats the purpose of adjusting the old phone to suit new functionality and extending usefulness.
