if i install a ROM of the device with single sim or CyanogenMod, the slot of the second sim perhaps is enabled to read microSD.
it's my idea, maybe wrong, but it might work, the hardware I think is the same.

No, it isn't. In fact, the early builds of the 6039* CM didn't even support dual sim.
Also, a Micro SD simply won't fit inside the tray.

If you consume the top corner of the microSD fits perfectly without damage. I tried.
I dont know if there hardware difference between the slot with dual sim and the single sim + microSD

[Q] Nano Sim Card Problem

Hi all,
I am now the proud owner of an AM7. However, I have a problem! I cannot get the 2nd sim card to work. The phone only shows bars for the Micro Sim - the Nano Sim is not showing anywhere.
Is there something I am suppose to do to activate the Nano Sim or should it pick it up automatically? Also - I had real problems getting the Nano Sim to fit in the 2nd tray - it seemed a fraction too big. Did anyone else experience this??
Thanks!!

Hello,
Do you have the 16GB/2GB Ram or the 32GB/3GB Ram version of the AM7?
Based on the reviews I checked, the feature of using 2 sims is only limited to the 32GB/3GB Ram version

No I have the International 16GB/2GB however I am almost certain i've seen details saying the dual sim is available on both models. Personally not once have I seen anything to say it was only limited to the 3GB Gold version and I did alot of phone researching.
I really hope this isn't the case anyway!!
Thanks a lot

The nano sim is perfectly sitting in the tray. You should place the sim according to the cut side. The terminals of the sim should face above. May be your nano sim is not cut properly? Is this sim coming as nano sim from the company or you have cut it?
I am having the same problem in sim one. It was working well but now it is not detecting anymore. I think in my case the slot terminals have dislodged.

Hi and thanks for the help. The sim was cut ever so marginally to fit into the tray - however I am surprised I had to trim it at all? When I put it back into my company iPhone it still works. It certainly looks like the sim is sitting correctly but the phone has not detected it once. I'll try again later tonight.
I am concerned though that the 16GB/2GB International version does not support dual sim - only the gold 32GB/3GB version - but as I mentioned above i've never seen this written anywhere anywhere.
Do I assume there is nothing that needs to be 'switched on'??
You should see two sim toolkits in applist. Always, not only if there are 2 cards inserted. You could check build.prop and local.prop for dual sim entries. All should be true. And well 2gg model is single sim normally. Only Chinese models and gold model are dual sim. Maybe you could make it work with patching prop files.
I do have a sim toolkit app but it will not open. So everything seems to indicate the international version does not support dual sims. So disappointing - oh well...... ebay here we come...
Thanks a lot...

It may be too late but in phone menu, could you try keying in *#06# and if 2 IMEIs display, then it should be dual sim.

2 sim on EU S8+, possible?

Hi, I recently bought S8+ in Scandinavia/EU and looking at the sim tray, there is a spot for 1 sim and 1 SD card. Is there any way to get 2 sim cards working instead of 1 sim 1 SD?
Thank you in advance

You mean that you don't know if you have a dual sim s8+ or a single sim? It must be written in the back as "Duos"...
I know that this (2 sim & micro SD card) happens in all Duos (Dual sim device)
But I don't think that you can do a single sim version to dual sim
To clarify, the question popped up as I saw some people on YouTube surgically detaching the sim and glueing it to their sd cards in order to get the 2nd sim working. But I assume if there is no actual reader to read the 2nd sim, that operation won't be successful. Thing is, I do not know if there is a reader or not on an European version of s8+?
It's quite impossible since the device must have two imei numbers.

Remove the sim chip from the telecommunications company and stick it behind the SD Card. Look at my photo. Then sim + SD card into the sim2 card slot. This sim2 card slot there sim with sd.
Dual sim on G955F?
Even though not marked on box, is it possible?

The answer is a simple no. Those videos show a dual sim s8 being modded so they can use the dual sim AND an sd card instead of OR.

No. Must have 2 IMEI's for that to work. There is no way to make a single sim phone a dual sim one.

Do you think it is possible to modify the single sim variant to double sim ?

I and my friend is now on project for modification of single sim variant to double sim ? It sounds promising due to the phone has been s-off permanently and check the hardware seems support the second slot
it has been discussed before, it is not possible due to each sim slot has or need an IMEI assigned, even if you get your hands on a dual sim tray probably the phone inside doesn't have the soldered connectors to make contact with the second SIM...

Totally agree, unless we have the other method to actually or physically has this connected!

(How) Did you managed to get permanent S-OFF?
I tried findng out if this mod could work by flashing the double sim Firmware and system and by using the double sim adapter with 2 simcards but no success!
So I think there is no second SIM/GSM modul build in the U11 single sim variant.
It's reported that Dual Sim Mod has been successfully on Single Sim variant

Second imei is not too hard for me to write it in with special hardware-box but what's surprise me is there's existed a 2nd sim contact in all variants

Question for the non T-Mobile 8T+ owners

Does the dual sim slot also work as a micro sd card slot? I know some dual sim phones have added this support to the second sim slot where the phone itself didn't have a dedicated micro sd slot.

No, it doesn't. And the tmo variant is the same after converting to EU firmware. Second sim slot included.

I know, but the sim card trey doesn't look like it holds 2 sims. That's why I was asking. I'm going to convert but was hoping I could use a sim card if I were to get a replacement tray.

Yes, the 7t pro sim tray works but isnt flush. You could also try the 8 sim tray. The second slot will work but the device is dual standby so if your making a call from one you cant use data or anything with the other at the same time. You also only have one imei which is assigned to both slots.

Wait one minute. The Tmo version has a microsd tray?

No. Its dual sim capable once converted to EU/IN firmware and later Global firmware when we can get a full ota file.

just came across your post looking for something else. i have the KB2005 and the sim tray is dual but it looks like a single one, when i looked closer one sim goes on top, one sim goes on bottom.

Question Any way to enable the built-in second SIM card reader?

Hey.
I only found out about this "second physical SIM card reader is disabled" issue after I bought my S21+ here in Australia. Even after swapping the single SIM tray to a dual SIM tray it wouldn't work.. which was then explained over here at GSMarena.
I was getting my hopes up that with a dual SIM card tray and flashing the right ROM, I would be able to use both my physical SIM cards but I seem unable to find the one that would help to achieve this.
Has anyone else come across this and was successful in enabling that second reader?
P.S. I'd prefer to use a European ROM in the end but I'm at the point where if I can't enable via flash, I will return and hope to find a S21+ somewhere else that comes with dual physical enabled ootb.
P.P.S. Currently on G996BXXU3BUKG, XSA

Hi there, have you ever figured out a way to use the second SIM slot? I am facing the same issue with a US S22. I can see the physical SIM card connections under a microscope and bought a dual sim tray but no second SIM shows up under "SIM card manager"

Howdy.
I wasn't able to get the second one working, not with with the dual sim tray and any ROM.
For me, it ended up with a return and getting one from Europe where the dualSIM came ootb and worked right away.
Sorry, no revelations from me.
Best of luck
Thank you for your response. I am sorry it didn't work for you in the end.
It really is a shame, in my opinion, for Samsung to put up those restrictions on the device, especially if it already ships with the hardware in it.
