Would you choose MicroSD Card or SIM Card on your 2nd tray?
I've put a 128gb san disk memory card
And it works like a charm

Why choose one or the other? You can have both options, search for the thread on here that tells you how.

I'll give it a try.
I Uses MicroSD...
Tried that method but doesn't work for me..
and for some reasons, my MicroSD is acting really weird..
I basically filled my MicroSD to 16gb (my capacity is 32gb).
but some files are corrupted.
I thought I'm getting a bad microsd. so i bought a new one.. still no luck..
Firstly I followed the procedure to make your SD card as adaptive storage (MACADO) and use the migrate storage option found in storage/internal/menu option to migrate. That's the critical part that if you don't do it then the storage doesn't work properly. (Note all data is lost from the SD card during the adaptive storage process).
Then I followed the procedure to remove the metal chip from my main UK SIM card. I found the easiest method was to use a lighter to gentle warm and gently the back of the plastic SIM, then the metal chip just peeled off without need for use of knife.
Then I super glued the UK (my primary SIM chip) to the back of the memory card. This becomes SIM2 in the tray. Then the travel or "secondary" SIM that will be changed when roaming to other countries takes the SIM1 position. This is due to practicality of swapping travel SIM cards.
It not much of a problem as you can assign which SIM is used for calls, data and messages in the SIM manager menu options.
This set up had worked for me since April. There are some general concerns that adaptive storage slows down the read/write speeds but I have not found to much problems. My phone is stock and not rooted. I do have occasional reboots bout only one every week maybe.
If you don't want to use the adaptive storage then just ignore that part and only follow the instructions to remove the SIM chip and stick to your memory card.
Do use the BIGGEST SD card that you can afford though......with highs read/write speeds.

Well I can scan for networks but wont let me join any, even the one that the sim is (Cell C)
Did you try inserting the sim when the phone is off ? When I inserted the sim, the phone was on and it would not recognize the sim even after reboot.

How do you fix your issue?
Thanks for the help?
Did you use a sim cutter or did you use scissors ?
The sim needs to be completely flush on the tray.
Remove the sim and turn off the phone. Insert it, and power it on...

The S3 and S5 both use a micro SIM (as do the S4, Note 2, Note 3). No cutter or adapter is needed. You can switch back and forth freely.

SD card size? It takes a standard micro SD card.
The SIM card size is micro SIM, which is widely used.

adapters
I would be careful about using adapters. I've read many horror stories where the adapter pulls the pins inside your phone apart. You might be able to make it work a few times, but eventually it will ruin your phone.

Try cleaning the contacts on her sim card and then jiggling the sim card around once inside the S4. It might take a few attempts and a few reboots but should work.

Little risky but gonna try sometime.
One pro-tip: To save your battery usage its recommended to use one sim as battery drain will be significantly much faster with 2 active sim cards. But that's just me.

I just did it on my SM-G935FD (S7 Edge dual sim). Works well so far.
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/insert-2-nano-sim-micro-sd-card-t3342709
Hmm is the S7 used different from the 'normal' G935F? I thought there are different types with dual sim and without... i also do not have a tray with dual sim. But i wonder if i could buy a tray and have dual sim. Stupid question maybe, but the link does not refer to a basic dual sim s7 edition. They just write s7.

Do the 2 trays have the exact same size and be inserted in any S7 edge phones? Cause I'm in Europe so my tray can't accept 2 simcards at all, it's 1 simcard and 1 sdcard.

The user dbux stated that the problem is not the tray, but the phone. According to his point of view, only FD models have pins for the second sim. I'm very confused!!

Obviously you need the dual sim fd model to try this, they're only sold in asia. Dont try anything.

Then modify the sim tray with a knife so a nano sim fits in the sd slot, still don't think it'll work though.
Are there any US carriers whose Sim card will fit in 2nd Sim card slot? AT&T and T-Mobile don't fit.
Why don't they fit? Both sim slots have the same network bands.
The US variants (included the unlocked models) are NOT dual sim devices.

Neither has a card the same size as the slot. Either too big or too small.
I have dual SIM. Att sim fits in both slots. Perhaps you have the wrong type of sim.

That's the clue right there.
On the box you will see two IMEIs.
Mine has DUOS on the box as well.
The tray for DUOS can accept dual sim cards or a single sim and microSD card.
With 1TB storage the need for the microSD is moot except perhaps if the need to transfer a lot of data.
For most transfers, wifi5 and airdroid suffice.

Can't really tell if you are being sarcastic or genuinely trying to be helpful. But yes it is a dual SIM card model, it has 2 imei #, under setting it shows the empty 2nd Sim card. No card fits in it. I'd accept it was my not knowing how to put a Sim card in a phone, even though my S8+ was also a dual sim model, if I hadn't been to both AT&T and T-Mobile stores and no one could make it work. Really glad you got yours to, but it doesn't fit in my device.

Calm down man. People here are trying to help you. Since almost no one here has ever had problem inserting sim card, and you don't tell us much about the detail, we then assume you have single sim variant, wrong sim tray, etc.
It would be a lot easier if you just take a picture of your sim card tray and post in here so we all can understand what really happen.
If you cannot post picture or whatever other reasons, just cut the sim card to make it fit. I used to cut many normal sims to micro sims and micro sims to nano sims in the past (nowadays, all operators in my country make 3 in 1 sim cards that I can pop out whatever size I wanted).
However, I am absolutelyx3 certain that nano sim fits S10 second sim slot.

The sim type for both is the same. So if your card does not fit in slot 2 I can only assume the wrong sim carrier has been supplied
I would either goto a Samsung experience store or talk to the supplier of the phone and advise them and try to get another sim carrier from them
But there is certainly no need for a different type of sim

Amazon. Pretty sure it's the right tray. The slot says microSD/Sim 2. Will take the advice of previous post and take it to a Samsung store. Not a huge deal it was just convenient to have 1 phone instead of 2 since I work on sales and have customers calling all the time
