Sim card compatibility?

Is my HOX LTE microsim compatible with older hspa+ phones. I have an atrix 2 and I just bought a micro sim to sim adapter. Will it work even though its not LTE??

Yes, it is compatible.

Ok cool thanks. I think the adapter I ordered is a cheapo, do you know of any ones that are good?

Usually micro sim to sim adapters don't work too well. I'm not familiar with a better brand, but i've heard all of them don't perform well.

Will a At&t Skyrocket LTE sim card work on iPhone 4s?

I recently switched from a iPhone 4s to a skyrocket. In order to get the lte network on my skyrocket I had to go to the at&t store to get a new sim card for the skyrocket. I was simply wondering if anyone has tried cutting a skyrocket sim card and has successfully used it on their iPhone 4s?

It will work. The problem is you have to call AT&T and tell them to switch your data to the Iphone data plan. My girlfriend has an Iphone 4 and everytime she wants to use her Skyrocket, her data won't work. The same thing happens as soon as she switch back to her Iphone. It's a hassle and she ended up sticking to just one phone.

I got a sim card cutter and cut my lte sim card to fit my iPhone 4s. Problem is my iPhone doesn't even see the sim card?! It simply says no sim. Can it be that the lte sim card isn't being read correctly?

Leaving the Galaxy Note for the HOX tomorrow...

Has anyone made this switch? Please tell me there are no GPS issues as that is a big reason I'm leaving Sammy. Well, that and being too big.
The one I'm getting has 2.20 but I guess that's just a temporary set back. Looking forward to AOSP eventually on the HOX!

I myself moved from the note just over 2 weeks ago. Honestly, i do miss the big screen and sd slot, but other than that, i like this phone too much. The screen is crazy sharp and bright. Also the phone is very compact for the screen size. Battery life is also pretty decent.

I moved from a international note I picked up on launch to my att one xl, could not be happier. Miss the better rom support but I'm over amoled, like iphones and facepage.

Crap. Didn't think about the Sim cards, are they the same size? I'm swapping with someone else.

One X has a micro sim, I believe the note has a regular one but not completely sure.

Yep. Just called AT&T. However we can call in and have the sim cards reassigned so no big deal. Either that or buy a new one for $25. Obviously the first option is much better.

Just cut your sim card to the right size of a micro sim. I've done that before and it worked fine.
I've also come from a Note before this and am very happy with the switch to the HOX. It sucks your on 2.20 tho. It doesn't look like there's gonna be a root for it anytime soon and even if there is you may not be able to unlock the bootloader. I suggest trying to find a HOX with a lower fw. I actually have one that I'm trying to sell.

Sim cards are free... I went in and got a micro sim from att and then when I got home (phone was waiting on my doorstep), put the sim in, called 611, and activated it! Easy peasy.

Easier said than done, especially for trading.

I used to work for at&t. If you call Customer Care, they always say SIM cards are $25. If you go into a corporate-owned store, they are always free.

I was actually thinking of trading my HOX for a note just for development reasons. Not sure though. Its going to be hard for future devs to start on the HOX because there is no updated root method. Sucks.

Even tho that may be true, if I were you, I wouldn't switch. I think the roms are better here. There was always noticable lag with the snapdragon s3 when I had the Note. Also, the community wasn't pleasant at all. You think there's flaming in the hox community? Wait until you get a Note. Although, things could have changed. I haven't had the Note since May. Just wait and grab the Note 2.

I wonder what my HOX will be worth once the note 2 rolls out. I don't think it can get much worse than the recent price drop. I'll probably just give this to my mom on some stable sense rom she hates her iPhone for some reason good advice sir!

So far so good except I can't get swype or amazon app store functioning. Foot whatever reason I can't sign in to either...

Kickstarter backed microSD card reader!

Just received my kickstarter backed project, microSD Card reader. Project cost me about $12
Www.meenova.com
This adapter allows you to plug an sdcard into your phone microSD port and transfer/read files.
I have to say this thing came out really nice, the blue light was a nice touch. So far its worked on everything I've plugged it into (galaxy nexus, nexus 7, Gs4, RAZR M)
Package contained:
MicroSD to microUSB reader
MicroUSB to USB adapter for PC
Keychain clip
Here are some pictures for you guys

They are only 3 months behind from eta that's pretty good lol there is a kickstarter project that I'm waiting to deliver since October 12 lol.
But this looks pretty cool might have to order one :u

Yeah they had a problem with quality of the first few samples, and then some machine broke at the mold factory so not entirely their fault for the delay.

Got mine yesterday! It looks pretty damn awesome though I haven't tried it yet... I was planning on using it exclusively for my Nexus 10 but since it has a keyring I can carry it around with me so that's pretty cool. :good::laugh:

Just grab an otg cable and a flashdrive?

Very cool idea..but shouldnt the key ring be on the cap side? I mean, you want your keys dangling from that plug into your phone? Or do you want to take this off your ring when you need it?

This OTG microSD card reader is small in size and looks nice but OTG cable is quite long and big

I didn't take a photo of the clip that attaches to your keyring, its a quick disconnect clip so you don't actually dangle your keys from your phone .

As long as you have otg support, which I think you need to be rooted for on the nexus 4, but don't quote me.

Nice one, cheers for posting this, ordered one mainly to use with nexus 7 but this could be great at transfering stuff quickly to my S4 and the advantage of being small and unobtrusive like an otg cable and flash drive.
This could really change my mind about getting the upcoming nexus 5.Although i think they're great phones I thought i'd never get one because of the poor storage and no sd slot but as the extra space i need would be for music files i would only need to plug it in when listening. rest of the time it would be on my keys.
My only concern is how secure and safe from knocks the sd card is when inside the reader and inside my pocket. I'm pretty forceful when dry humping bins and bollards when waitnig for buses. Can anyone comment on this? (The sd card safety not my dry humping?)

Nice.... full sized usb adaptor included too. Looks like this will be my new one for all flash drive

I think that's exactly what that means.

using as well and it works fine. let's me switch 'tween my iPhone and oneplus

It works fine, the only difference is the size of the card. But the connector is the same.

Works perfect

Zero problems from my nano sim and adapter.

Just buy any adapter with ratings that says that it works. Buy a cheap one from eBay or Amazon.

I can also say this works completely fine, picked up one for 4 quid from my local phone stall
