When I take the back cover off of the phone and pry up the plastic next to SIM 1, I can swear I see a second SIM card slot. I don't want to cut the plastic, nor do I have a screwdriver small enough to open the car to find out. Could it be that they software disabled the second card slot so they didn't have to spin 2 separate boards for 1 SIM and 2 SIM variants?
That's the most possible reason. To save production costs they use the same board for every variant. For example: Nokia, Siemens did it in former days too.
i also surprised to find out that
is there any way to use the dual sim function.

Do nandroid backup to your sdcard and give it a whirl. Worst thing you can do is brick your phone.

Hi dear,
I just bought my Omnia 7 last Wed(actually, made a payment 2 weeks ago but just arrived) and I'm so pleased to use it as I used to use Samsung Focus(but it has problem on a sim slot).
However, there was one problem in my device since the first day. It's actually my fault and the device is working really well, but my sim(I used to use iPhone so my sim is micro size) is stuck in the sim slot.
I thought the sim slot was same as the one in Focus but it wasn't. Thus, I even can't see where it is in the Sim slot but fortunately, it's working well.
Anyone has the same problem as me??
Or anyone can help me out?
i think it is easily sorted but you have to open up the device.
follow the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820799
you dont have to worry about anything..very straightforward.
Thank you so much!
I will follow the instruction then!
Same thing happened to me!! I had a micro sim bought an adapter off ebay when fitted it in it said Invalid sim or no sim! well to cut a long story short I opened up phone and it had bent all the contacts some off the ends had even broke off!!! I had to break off metal housing! to get to the contacts to try bend them back up, I managed to get it working again but I was shi....g myself got a new standard size sim and it's ok.
Really guys don't go for the adapter you will be sorry!
Just got my 6p(!) and it doesn't recognize the nano sim I put in. I put it in so that the chip itself is facing down. Does anyone know a fix other than restarting the phone?
same happened to me
I thought i was the only one, i have to send mine back...and i live all the way in Jamaica!!! this totally blows!!..Took forever to get it to me and now this!!!
The SIM should only fit one way, because of the shape. Here are some photos of how the SIM card sits in the tray.

I hope I don't have to send it back, I've only had it for about an hour!
Have you flashed a custom rom? I unlocked mine time as I got it and flashed Chroma and Pure Nexus and got the same error message with both installations. I finally figured our that I had to download and flash the same vendor.img that the custom rom was based on to get the sim recognized. I have never had to do this with any other phone. If this phone is different somehow, it would be good for the devs to include flashing that partition in their zips or provide info about flashing it seperately.
No I didn't flash a custom Rom.. I got it unlocked bootloader and then the day after I put sim in it when I got the case.. (Didn't want to use without a case) put sim in.. Nothing.... Wiped data... Nothing... Flash factory image.. Lock bootloader... Nothing nothing nothing!!!
I'm going to try activating the sim. I thought it was ready to go since I only ordered one due to the nexus using a nano sim instead of the micro my gs5 uses

well i'm happy for you ...suxx for me...i'm back to being the only one with his problem!! smh....#FML
I had flashed the the newest vendor.img and then made a backup.. When I made the backup I choose to include vendor.. Then I flashed a couple of ROMs but I wanted to go back to my nand and restored system, data, VENDOR etc.
The issue was that I restored the vendor.. Flashing the vendor.img again made my simcard issue go away
Well I returned it and got another one.. Received it today and all is good now. Thanks for your imput
Nexus 6p no sim error
After a week with the no sim error issue I suspected the sim tray shorting the sim card ,after taping the edges of the sim card that sit on the tray and putting it back it worked immediately. I then removed the tape from the sim card and applied nail polish where the sim card sits .
After it had dried I put it back and I had a signal !

This! Mike you're an f-ing genius!!! I just received my 6p and less than 24 hours in, I received this SIM card error. As I was preparing to RMA it, I found your post. I pulled the SIM tray out and looked at it with the card in it. I'll be damned! There's about 1/64" overlap of the card contacts onto the metal tray. Short-circuit city! A couple of small pieces of scotch tape as an insulator and, Boom!, all is well! I can only imagine how many 1,000's of 6ps have been returned for such a stupid issue. The fix took all of 2 minutes. Thanks again!
Photo?

And Btw...the issue is somewhat different in my case the signal comes and goes in every 10-15 minutes or so automatically sometimes comes for 5min and goes for hours. But after the signal loss it sometimes shows "No Service|Jio4G" and sometimes "emergency calls only" in the Network Tile in Quick settings.. But reboot/ toggling airplane mode temporarily fixes it. Did you also had the same problem or was it a permanent signal loss in your case ( I mean even no reboot/airplane mode fixed it) ???
And also no calls/msgs work while there is the signal...
Any ideas what's happening in my case? I've heard few same problems and few guys got it fixed by repairing their IC from working 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?

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.

Cleaned SIM contacts? Put tape on the back of the SIM to improve contact? Go to your cellular provider and ask for a new SIM at no charge? Complete wipe and reflash full stock image. If it is still unresolved then yes. It is hardware.

What can I use to clean the SIM contacts? And SIM Contacts mean my Sim card or the sim hardware inside my device?
Where should I put the tape to improve contact? My Sim card doesn't keep stopped in the tray, if I touch it it just move.
I have wiped but I haven't my pc right now to flash stock.

Use a good quality pen or pencil eraser on the gold contacts of the SIM and wipe clean with alcohol or dry cloth. Apply tape to the back of the SIM opposite the contacts. This is to push the SIM closer to the wire contacts in the phone. The SIM should be held very tightly by the tray and not move around. If this doesn't work, go get a new SIM from your carrier. If all the above doesn't work, then wipe the phone and reflash a full Google image using flash-all.bat SIM tray pic here.

Well, my SIM doesn't keep held tightly by the tray. It moves even if I just touch my finger at it.
@edit
Can I use alcohol to clean the golden part of my Sim?
Then I just dry and insert it to test?
EDIT 2
My sim is working perfectly on my Shamu. Forgot to mention this.

This is exactly my Sim tray. The contacts (Golden part of the Sim) faces down when in the tray, right? My I just turn the tray facing down (the Sim down) the Sim just fall, so it's not being held by the tray.

IT CAN ONLY GO IN ONE WAY- NO, it does not LOCK into place so you can turn the tray upside down, but only will seat correctly in one orientation then you slip it into the phone. Are you kidding me?

Not a SIM card issue.
There are possibly some settings between 7.1.1 (or older) and 7.1.2 that cause both a SIM issue and/or a Bluetooth issue.
If you have Magisk installed you might be able to fix by disabling any installed modules and wiping the cache.
Reboot and see if things are normal then re-enable the modules.
I saw this problem when I updated my phone without a complete wipe of the data (not SDCARD) partition.
If you have Magisk, try the module solution first.
Otherwise backup your data and do a clean install of 7.1.2,

I noticed that my device imei and my Sim tray imei are different. Maybe the old user changed the device's imei or something like that. I'm trying to recover the imei via efs professional. I'll try it as soon as I arrive home.
My phone detects sim but shows no service... It detects and shows signal on jio....can anyone share efs plz so that I can try to restore efs partition...
Just came from the tech and he tested the antenna. Everything is working great with the antenna. Anyway, I can't get any signal. He said maybe there's a problem in the SIM slot, and he showed me that the 6P is dual SIM
He told me to try finding a dual SIM tray and put my SIM in the slot 2.
Someone have any idea about what to do with it?

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.
