I purchased 2 different adapters for nano sim to micro sim. One from iCoolkit and the noosy ones. When I put the nano sim in them, there is enough extra space so that they slightly wiggle around. Is this normal?
I have an AT&T Galaxy SIV Screen was busted. I grabbed a viable one off of Ebay but a Verizon one I assumed since Verizon's now have a spot for SIM cards this should be a throw the mother board in and good to go. But, I have noticed there is a red cable that the Verizon one has that my AT&T does not. When you flip the phone over on the left side is this cable it looks like it would run from the motherboard down to the bottom small panel. My motherboard does not a space to attach this cable.
Any ideas as to what this cable does and if I need it to run my AT&T phone?

My SIM card could not be detected after I changed my SIM card - I realised one of the pins broke after I took out the old card.
I saw I could buy a SIM reader component.
SIM Reader Component
But I can't figure out if this is just a snap on component or do I really have to do soldering? I hope it is the former.

Looks like you may have to solder this one bro.
Shouldn't be too hard long as you get a micro electronics solder kit a magnifying glass and go slow.
Good luck man and keep us posted

Plastic
Could somebody load Indian system/csc folder from their Indian S7 Edge Phone
Very interesting: HERE.
I'm wondering if there's actually any difference in the circuit board between the normal and dual sim variant. If you jam a 2nd SIM into a normal version and install the dual SIM software would it work?

I was thinking of the possibilities, and someone actually did it! This is brilliant! Will post my fail/Success pics soon!
Here's how mine was done!
Be Patient, Be cautious. It's a Hard one!
i did the same, but don't want to work (( may be i did something wrong)))

Both, Alteco Super Glue in the middle and Double Sided Tape(Thinnest you can find) on the first edge of the SIM.
Note - Using Super Glue will leave a white stain on the Memory Card surface. Don't pour it to the surface, Use the Needle in the pack to dip and put a drop on the Nano Sim chip (lump on the back side).

I just did it: I have now the 2 nano sims and 128 gb micro sd card working !
A few tips :
Try to strip the plastic from the simcard first with old simcards you might have in stock to experiment.
I found that holding the card with a pair of small pliers over a kitchen stove in my left hand
and peeling the plastic with a very small screwdriver on my right hand was the easiest way
to do it. Be careful not to overheat. Within 10 s you feel the plastic melting then you peel
it smoothly.
I cut the simcard approximately 1 mm on both ends (no measuring, just guts )
I tried to put double sided tape first to stick the simcard on the micro sd card but it would always slip, so it was not reliable, may be it was the tape ... So I switched to superglue. I put the memory card on the tray, reversed the tray on the table, put a little drop of glue and stuck the sim on the micro sd card while on the tray to be sure it was properly located.
I waited at least 5 minutes so the glue dried and tried to insert the tray: it would not enter the phone because
it was too thick. So I took a smooth grinder and took off some plastic off the sd card so it would be a little thinner.
Be careful if you do that may be use a sand paper very smooth and go VERY lightly. I then retried to insert the tray
and it was almost getting in but I was afraid it would not get out, so I thought of lubricant. I took some olive oil, put
a drop on my finger and touch the non contact side to spread it.
Then I inserted the tray and it worked ! I managed to pull off and on several times the tray afterwards.
Now my phone is olive oil perfumed
Love the olive oil scent closing hahaha, great work mate

Any Pics of this last part ?
My 128GB got killed just by applying pressure on it!
It works just in presence of the dual sim models, right?

See attached 1 picture of the sd card on the slightly grind (and olive oiled) side
The 2nd image is the other side of the sd card with the simcard glued
The third image is the sd card with the sim glued inserted in the tray.
If you have to grind the sd card, TAKE YOUR TIME, grind a very little bit, try to insert,
grind again, try again till it is almost good to insert. Then add lubricant on the
non contact side. Remember that if it is too hard to insert you will have considerable
difficulties removing it ...
It might be interesting to see if some micro sd cards are thicker than others.
After 12 hours inside the phone, the tray with 2 nano sim + sd card is slightly easier to insert/remove.
I don't know if it is because of the olive oil or because the glue got denser. Anyway I am very happy
with it, no false contact on the sd card or on the simcard.
Someone explain to me why the tmobile s7 has pins for 2 sims? https://youtu.be/A_S6pL5pznA?t=2m13s
Verizon has them too https://youtu.be/ETEGRh_p7Ng?t=2m56s
G930F also has pins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-IhjFL8E1o&feature=youtu.be&t=3m30s
Here's a pic from ifixit's teardown, notice the pins for the sdcard and the sim next to it? Hmm...

Now even if pins are there and probably sim tray from dual sim model will fit. But extra sim should also have an imei assigned. Else useless ..lets hope good

You're right, that's probably the only difference between the fd and regular models, they get an extra imei while we don't even though the hardware seems like it might support it.
I DID IT
O Yessss, I did it!!!!
