[Q] Second Micro SD Storage?

Hi all hope to have my Raphael next week sometime.
I have been looking at the specs and user manual and have a question
Is it possible to store a second Micro SD card ontop of the sim card under the battery cover?
If you have a Touch Pro and can confirm this for me I would be thankful.
As per image there seems to be some space on top of the SIM card
Thanks
Jules

i just checked, and i cant find any space big enough to fit the card .
The space u describe is just a little too small, so the card does not fit and the cover can not be put back on

you beat me to it.
Indeed, once the cover is on, the space inside is so tight tabove the sim that it would not fit.
There's also not enough space anywhere else inside as it is all pretty snug....!

sorry to dissapoint you ... i checked every space under the cover and the only place it would fit is indeed on top of the sim but there is a millimeter short on space. i dont know if it would hurt to cut a little piece out of the battery or the microsd card or both .. i wouldnt try it.. also there is no room for it between the keyboard..

There is room...
On my touch pro i keep two spare SIM cards on top of the battery, under the cover. I just align them slightly below the camera hole, and the cover goes on fine...
as microsd is smaller than sim, i reckon u could get 3 of them in there

Yep, micro sd card fits on the battery under the cover

If that's the case, I wonder if a dual-sim simore adapter will fit (the type-2, that doesn't involve cutting your sim cards).

Thanks for all the effort guys,
Nice to know I can store a second sd card if needed

[Q] sdcard slot location on wifi xoom

I couldn't find an answer to this question anywhere but: where exactly is the sdcard slot on the XOOM Wifi version? I think I found it but I can't seem to see where the sdcard would go.... I feel incredibly stupid here!

It's on the top and is filled by a little plastic holder the same size as a micro SD card would be.

Actually, if you are looking at the screen with the camera at the top (right-side-up) the sd card slot is to the left of the mic jack. There's a black plastic cover/insert that can just be pulled out, set to the side. The actual micro sd slot is toward the screen (if you're looking at it from the top). Insert it with the writing toward the front, very carefully...don't force it. Once you feel some resistance you can push it in all the way and it kind of clicks in. Replace the cover and you're set. Make sure to be careful with this procedure and don't drop it into the larger opening just behind the micro sd slot.

Thank you!!! I accidentally found the plastic placeholder by accident... thank you guys...feel incredibly blonde...I at least created something that others can search for now!

sd above sim card slot
so are we saying it is the slot directly above the sim card carrier slot.
if so this might add clarity.
cheers

Yes.

[Q] MiniSIM to MicroSIM

Has anyone had success with cutting their MiniSIM to MicroSIM format?
I just got my Nexus 5 today and did not realize it needs a MicroSIM. I was just going to use my old phone's MiniSIM and was able to research I might still be able to do that by cutting it into the right format. It seems simple enough and I downloaded and printed template, but I wanted to hear some firsthand experiences before I give it a go.

No one ever had success at cutting it

It can't be done

I've done it... it works fine.
Just make it a little bigger to start with and then fine-tune it with a nail file or similar.
Also don't force it into the slot if it still seems too wide or you might get it jammed and damage the slot.

I'm glad I posted, the nail file is a good idea I would have missed otherwise.

Just to report back, it worked like a charm and cost me maybe 3-4 mins. I used one of the many templates one can find online, stuck the SIM to the printout using double-sided tape and then used a utility blade to cut the card,applying lots of presure with one my fingers on the card to hold the card in place. I didn't even need the file.

You know your network provider will just send you out one for free if you phone and ask

Why do people bother cutting SIM cards? Why not just get the right SIM card from your carrier? If your carrier is so pretentious that they would charge you to swap a SIM card, I'd seriously reconsider buying your service from them in the first place.

T-Mobile is pretty good about giving out free SIM cards. I just didn't want to wait. And I enjoy DIY :good:

[Q] sim card and sd card popping out

Hi! So I just bought the Honor 6 a couple of days ago, and the thing that is bugging me is that it seems my micro-sim card is a little too big for the phone. I would assume all micro sim card are the same size. So the open/close plastic bit for the sim/sd cards is sticking out a little, and has opened sometimes when I take the phone out of my pocket. So then my sim card isn't longer connected and I have to restart the phone.
And today I bought a microSDHC card, and since the plastic bit isn't completely into the phone, then the sd card isn't in. So when I put my finger on the plastic bit to close it, then the sd card work, but is somehow being removed when I don't have my finger on it. And so my sim card isn't longer connected anymore and I have to restart my phone.
I have tried to look up others with the same problem, but haven't really found any.
Am I the only around here who has this problem?

The cards don't need the plastic to be in position ! Push them more in the holes, you must have a "clic"

It worked! Thanks! I had to use something tiny to get them really in place, I guess my fatty fingers wasn't enough!

Anybody have a hard time opening the SIM card slot?

The second time I had to open the SIM card/ SD card slot was the most difficult experience of it's kind for me.
I thought I'd messed up installing the SD card, but I know I didn't. You **** well know again this time I also made sure both the SIM & SD card were seated properly.
I've owned like 50 or more Androids. Some to use & in the past to sell. Selling them never worked out for me LOL.

Everytime I have to open it or close it

Lol, every sd/sim card holder extraction seems sketchy to me... fun times if it jams.
I thought it was just a Samsung thing.
Check the card(s) for fit; sim cards are notorious for break off tabs sticking out, trim if so.
Note where the tightness is/begins.
Eyeball it carefully for uniform dimensions or a raised spot, same with bay.
Fine tooth file or 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper if need be... carefully.
&
Never ever force it.
