I was just glancing at the owner's manual for the Axon 7 that I'm about to buy for my son and noticed a warning that to "avoid damage to the phone" not to use a nanoSIM that's been cut down. Well, I've done this twice already for other phones when I migrated from a micro to a nano and not had any problems (I did make sure to sand the edges a bit, etc.).
Is there any reason to heed this warning, or some reason (such as overall thickness) why I can't just use my cutter for this one as well?
I had same problem, everything is working fine =].
I cut a micro and using it with a sd card as well no problem. 2 sims and sd card

I'm using it just fine
I have tried more cut sim without any issue. I think it is so dangerous as in case of other phones.
Works for me. I just go to a used phone/repair shop and have them do it with a punch tool.
They may charge a few bucks or just do it for free. Easier than dealing with an Exacto knife and SIM card template from the Interweb.

I just used my kitchen scissors. I put a nano sim on top of the micro SIM and cut around it. Used nail file to thin it down as i wanted to use the dual sim and sd card. I have dropped the phone a few times and no problem.... Both sims are fine.

The sim I'm using is a cut down and have not had any issues. The sim was originally a full, then cut to micro, then to nano.
Raise your hand, who here is running dual sim + micro sd?
That takes a bit more than just cutting around the edges
I'm running dual sim and micro sd. And all i done was cut around the edge of a nano sim and filed it down with nail file to the metal pretty much. No problems at all even after dropping the phone a few times. Sims or microsd haven't moved

You didn't do the whole nonsense about separating the sim card from the plastic with a knife or lighter?
Able to post a pic?
---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------
Pic of the sim that is.
Nothing at all like that. I just put the nano sim on top of the micro sim and cut around with sharp scissors. Filed it till it fit with the micro sd card flush with the holder. Metal showed on the sim. Once flush. Just pushed it in... And worked straight away. I've not taken it out since. I'm not sure if i should try just incase.... When i get home I'll have a look

I am also using a sim card cut from micro to nano size. This was my first time trying this and I used a printed out template. They are easy to find.
Does anybody know if using a cut sim card is inferior to a retailer provided sim card? Does it effect reception or anything like that?
I was going to do this another time, but the posts above gave enough encouragement to try it now.
I didn't do any filing, I used a mini torch to heat up the plastic enough to separate the sim from the plastic.
Originally tried with an old microsim I separated. The actual chip portion was too thick, tray would not close.
The freedom pop sim was the closest nano sim I had on my desk which I could afford to sacrifice
Once inserted all the way, the fit relatively snug. Some have put a drop of glue to keep the sim+sd together. I just worked it by hand to keep proper alignment as the tray was inserted. Too bad sprint lte == fail for data.
Swapping sims is a pain to begin with, swapping 2 sims+sd is a bigger pain.

That's not a bad idea... I separated it from the plastic and then used double sided tape. Your idea is interesting cuz you can keep the two pieces separate & the bezels around the chip guarantee a that it fits in the slot. Helps keep the perfect position & keeps it elevated.
Holy carp. They make punch tools. Like, it took a cellphone repair shop 2 seconds to do mine for free

Hi, So I was a victim of the common issue, having a cut down SIM card stuck in the SIM tray. After reading a lot of guides and having no luck I tried my own way and it worked a charm, so I thought I would share.
Some of the methods I have read about are supergluing a toothpick to your SIM card, but it looked way to easy to accidentally get some on the plastic around the tray so I didn't feel comfortable doing this. Needle nose pliers would have only been able to latch on if I pulled the phone apart and removed the SIM card tray. And the last one I came across was easing it out by pushing it with a paperclip, but there is no bottom access in the SIM holder tray.
So here is what I did.
Using a small thumbtack (or any small object with a sharp point) I applied enough pressure to jab into the SIM card a little bit through the little hole located on top of the SIM tray, this gave plenty of grip to move the SIM a millimetre at a time till the SIM card just popped out. No damage was done to my SIM tray using this method.

Thanks for this. First and last time I try to cut my own SIM card lol.
It's exactly what i did in the first days of june, when I cutted my sim and pushed into the slot in the hurry to light on my new SIII.
I removed it because I was a little disappointed by the fact that wasn't so easy to remove it, so I bought a microsim.
Thanks for sharing Nicholas.

Why didn't you just get a micro-sim?? Instead of cutting your regular sim down? They don't cost anything and would have saved you this trouble....

well mate there are some of us who just get a kick out of doing things our own way. and like him we find solutions too.
I had the same problem with my S3.
I tried the same thing but it didnt work.The sim card got stuck against the plastic by the entrance because of the pressure on the card.
So what I had to do was to take something (a razorblade) and put it under the simcard to lift it over the plastic at the same time as I was
pushing it out one millimeter at the time. That worked for me.

I don't know. But, if you're willing to just commit to the N4, you might be able to take the back off and stick the card in the slot permanently. Maybe.

Good thought, but it doesn't look like it: the outside cover plate is larger on the Apple tray and there's more distance between the outside cover plate and the edge of the SIM card than on the N4 tray.

Oh nevermind then, I haven't receive my nexus 4 yet and the pictures of the Google's tray I found were very unclear.
Did anyone figure this out??
I broke the plastic off of the sim tray by mistake!
I need a new tray
You could try calling LG, they have replacement parts and I'm sure this one isn't the most common replacement so they should have some in stock. 800-243-0000 You could try calling them to see if they have them available.
Anyone have any luck?
I just broke the front plastic bit off of my SIM Tray. It looks horrible.
I can't find anything on eBay.
You all need to be more careful!
But seriously, this is probably something you need to contact LG or Google (not sure who is in control of hardware support) directly, because of the fact that they put the IMEI number for the phone on the tray itself. I doubt this is high demand item at this point in time, so you most likely won't have luck finding one from a third party, and even if you did I'd imagine it'd be very high in price.

Just incase anybody reads this and has a Nexus 4 Sim Tray they would sell - PM me because I am looking for one!
So last night I took my sim out to test tmobile sim I have. Then a friend came over and while I was outside talking it vanished somehow.
So now i cant find my sim or the tray. I'm going to order one, like $8. But crap. Can't believe I lost it. I searched this living room, flipped the couch over.
Maybe the cat ate it. Haha
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-lg-nexus-4-e960-sim-card-tray.html
Edit: So tonight I get the change jar and pour it out on the table. There pops out my extra sim and the tray. Last night I had slid the card in without the tray and it worked just fine. I wasn't without a phone without the tray. Sure was nice to find it. I knew it was in that damn house.
[Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for a broken SD Card or SIM card or both and this task surely needs patient hands.]
I have been a great lover of Oneplus X. I love its performance (on ashwin and MA's CM13) and its beauty has always amazed me but the only drawback which I've always felt is the inability to use sd card and dual sims together. Today I tried pretty hard to find out a hack by making SIM card as thin as possible and trimming the extra bump on sd card and guess what ? It works
I am not well versed with XDA jargon, so please bear with me
Be as careful as you can especially when u r removing the SIM card terminals layer:
1. Cut the SIM card along the portion separating the card body and metal terminals with a paper knife as if you are trying to peel off the metal contacts part from the card body. (Be extremely careful here so that you don't damage the chip terminals)
You'll be left with this:

}
2. Take the bottom part of the card as in the following picture, and slightly rub the encapsulation with a sand paper such that it doesn't rub the rest of the SIM card surface. The only objective of this part is to make it thin as there's a bump which would obstruct the SIM card insertion.
It should end up like this:
3. Now take your SD Card and you can observe a minor bump at the end of the sd card which can be trimmed by using a sand paper and this should result in an sd card which is on the left side of the pic compared to a non-trimmed one on the right side.
Now place the SIM card in the slot this way:
Voila..!!!
And the result..?

the SIM card i managed to trim is as thin as a good quality paper...and the sd card bump is also trimmed, so u r practically inserting a normal sd card...what i have observed is, over two days of experience, it's pretty easy to remove and place again and again...never had an issue ejecting, i tried some 8 to 9 times in these two days...

Damage to the phone!?
Hello, great work. Something i wondered about alot but didnt want to try out.
How is the PHONE handling this extra? Heating up? what side effect do the phone get, im surely secure that the phone was not meant to handle both sim cards and sd card at the same time, or was it? Or did they just made a smart solution for 3 things?
I want to do this but SD card risk is no problem i am more worried about the damage on the phone itself.

I have been using this for a week and what I've understood is our OPX is meant to handle both sim cards and sd cards simultaneously juz as any other mobile but the designing department went with a form factor tweak juz to keep the mobile as thin as possible...I am sure had they provided different slots for sd card and sim cards, they could have faced difficulty at thickness... but that said, it doesn't take away it's ability to handle both...
And coming to my observation, the read and write speeds on sd card are same, the signal strength of sim cards are same and heating is not at all in existence... I use @ashwin007 and @MasterAwesome's CM 13...

Tx mister for answer, great! I will do this for later then. Anyone know anything about thread/discussion about how to disable everything on second simcard except data?
Just got a new XT1607 Moto G4 Play for my wife after her HTC One Remix from VZ died and I went to pull the Nano SIM from the HTC and pop it into the XT1607 and, low and behold, the XT1607 uses a Micro SIM, not a nano SIM!
Bummer!
I was able to pull the Micro SIM out of a recently deceased VZ LG G4 and got a great phone support tech at VZ to enable it in the XT1607 and it worked!
Can't believe Moto/Lenovo released a new phone in 2016 with a Micro SIM. WTF? Oh well, you've been warned.
This can be known in advance obviously.
Universal sim kits have a nano in micro, I have lots of them like you can get a free sim from T-Mobile store and just snug your nano in the micro.
I mean, it's kinda right there in the spec sheet and item description like ANYWHERE you can buy the phone. Seems like a pretty hasty purchase if you don't even know what's compatible with it.

Not really sure why they have to make these cards smaller and smaller. My iPhone 6 had a sim tray in that was bigger than the micro sim card yet they say its for size reduction. Oh well, I prefer the micro sim anyway, easier to deal with!

In say the OnePlusX they offer either a 2nd SIM or a SD card in the same slot, a dual SIM tray. Makes sense in some phones.
isnt there adapters in ur country? i have bought 3 for 1 dollar and we arent a first world *****
I noticed that the SIM (nano) with adapter (to micro) is pretty hard to insert, and very hard to take out.
On SIM 1 tray, there is a slider that pulls the SIM out a bit; I couldn't take the card out without it.
But there is no such thing on SIM 2! I didn't try to put a SIM there because I wouldn't be able to take it out...
I am using an adapter like this - Noosy. Did anyone have a different experience, with a different type of adapter (that maybe doesn't make the SIM thicker)?

Listen there is an easy way and a hard way.
The easy way is the "punch out" fitting method where you have some SIM you got from whoever (say a free one from Tmobile) which is the 3:1 type, you punch out the micro SIM to nano SIM shape and place your nano SIM inside so its flush.
The hard way is the "overlayer" method where there is solid plastic on the side not not presenting the gold pins, that is nasty the nano SIM can get stuck easily as the solid plastic forces the nano SIM to protrude. Looking at what you did you picked the harder method.
The ideal method is find something like this

You place your nano SIM inside it so its flush both sides, then it slides in+out easily in the slot in the G4P.
You can get this usually as the SIM you got came in a 3:1 type punch-out and this is the middle punch-out.

Hi all
Here is my guide for Mi Max. If anyone has done the same, please let me know if you want me to delete my thread.
I tried the burn sim and stick on micro sd card mod a couple of weeks ago and failed as it was just too thick.
Luckily i did not break the sim tray, but did break my SD card as it cracked. =(
So I bought a few sim card extension from China Taobao.
Here is the link to it. It cost about 2 or 3 dollars.
http://e22a.com/h.0wJIDW?cv=AANHCQXu&sm=f26a3a
With it, there is no need to burn SIM card or super glue, just the sim card extension and a normal thin double sided tape.
The sim card extension is paper thin and the SIM tray will go in as normal, no additional pressure than usual required.
The sim holder protruding out is thin enough to fit on a soft case. but I doubt it will fit in a hard case unless you cut a hole in it.
Do ignore the Chinese wordings on the phone as my mum does not read much English.
which color is this Mi Max ?
It's the gold version. But photos seems really gray.
