Hello, I have a Moto Edge 30 XT2203-1 and only have single sim. Is there a way to force dual sim like in this post?

Thanks
the Edge 30 has a dual sim slot, i think you just missed how it works. It's a double sided SIM tray.. you stick the SIM cards on top and bottom. It's still a very thin tray so it's easy to miss this capability

Hi, i found that. However, the software in my phone is not enabled for dual sim.
I'm looking for the exact same thing. Maybe is a motorola manufacturing thing, a specific model of the motorolas, both, moto Z and moto z2 play used to have variants, specifically, I had the MX variant of the MZ2 Play, that was the exact hardware that the brazil variant was, long story short, I was able throug a guide to unlock the second sim (slot with plastic) that she software blocked, the same that the Brazil variant had unlocked out of the box.
I have been looking around, it hasnt been done on the Edge 30, but if we could find the original source of the tutorial of the other two models maybe a really good mod maker (fun name for a master hacker), could make a ooerative guide to achieve the same thing on this model.
In my research I've found two things: 1. my model XT 2203-1 is the exact one that the double sim has.
2. The single sim model (my phone) has the terminals inside the phone for the second sim and also, the sim tray is totally the same, besides that blocking plastic on the back.
If someome wants to, I'm up for a research, or even some tests. I've also read that flashing the dual sim rom, or rooting and changing a couple settings used to do the trick on the original moto z model.

I mean this one....

Id like to try this software on my dual sim, just because I can
if so, PM me
I would suggest you send your sims to them to be cut by their machine, I destroyed 2 sims. Other people have reported success, it says on instructions that the metal on sim should not be cut, on many sims there is no chance of it fitting without cutting the metal tabs. I threw mine in the bin, that doesnt mean its no good though.
mine worked fine, cutting went perfect
Yeah, I've used a cut up dual sim with a UK 02-uk Contract and orange PAYG sims. Some people said the O2 doesn't work: I had no trouble.
I very much hope you're note paying 37 euro for it: I got mine for £1.75 from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6415916094&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
However, note that the STK menu is something special: it's a menu that gets loaded up when you load a program called "sim toolkit" built into most phones. Then you can choose your line. The one I bought doesn't have this, you go to flight mode on, flight mode off and it'll switch lines.
Cutting the sims requires a careful hand. Get them cut by machine if you can (the guy i got them from will cut them) but you get templates that you should follow carefully with fine scissors and you shouldn't go wrong.
The instructions say that you DO cut the metal tabs on the SIM, there's no other way, but that does not damage to the sim itself. But be careful, practice and try them one by one - you have something called a "Resume card" that is basically a holder for one of the tiny mini-sims. Try this with each cut sim individually to ensure they work, before putting them in the metal tray. I used a nokia to test.
Don't forget to REMOVE THE PLASTIC TEMPLATE. Jeez, this was so obvious but once you've nervously cut the sim up, you'll forget the transparent guide sticker is still on them. Remove this obviously!
In the Magician it took a lot of messing about to get the phone to recognise both sims, because I think there's not much pressure on the back of the sim in the phone's holder. I stuck a little bit of paper down the back of the metal slide to apply some pressure.
It does work, just persevere!

PS I read via google that the STK software drains battery faster. I'm sure it wouldn't, but one review said it did? It's not much more effort.
PPS Don't use a sim copier if you're in the UK (eg 16 in 1). It'll destroy your SIMs, they're not compatible here.
I feel like people are getting confused with Region locking and Sim unlocking.
It seems Samsung has no idea as well
When the Note 3 asks for the SIM network unlock pin with a foreign sim card (or other sim) just put the code in that you bought or calculated
Then The next hurdle is that NOT ALL SIMS WORK under EVERY circumstances.. there is trouble shooting at hand if things dont go smoothly. Not jumping to the conclusion that "it does not work" but perhaps exchanging the sim, making sure the phone is compatible, making sure the sim is not damaged.
I want to see some concrete proof of this region lock, so far no you tube video convinced me that there is such thing as this "region lock" the only thing I have seen is the stickers.
I have friends who have AT&T Note 3's unlocked and it works in Europe and my Asian friend using it in China and Korea.
Also Canadian Note 3's do not come with these region lock warning stickers. But they still ask for the EXACT same thing (SIM network unlock PIN) WHEN you insert a different sim.
Just punch in the codes and it works for me. Mine even works on AWS too without any modifying.
After much research I am more and more convinced that Samsung just messed up by printing these stickers to Scare people or something.
When in fact, it may still be the same thing as it has been for many years.
SIM network unlock PIN is a standard unlocking message with a non accepted sim (Some HTC phones show this too when you pop in a different sim from a different carrier non related)
P.S. This is just my full observations and what I have physically seen with various Note 3's
I am still to be shaken from this with a youtube video of someone showing on their phone screen a message remotely close to "YOUR PHONE IS REGION LOCKED" Contact Samsung for further assistance." Until someone shows something like this. I dont think Samsung should have put these warning stickers on the boxes...
Just replaced my sim card slot after killing it with a sim card adapter.
That got me thinking. Would be awfully nice to be able to replace the regular sim card reader with a nano version instead of the default micro version.
Haven't seen one anywhere and I doubt that they exist but.. I figured I'd check and see if anyone's ever seen one?
Since my main phone (Nexus 6) and most newer phones use nano sims it would be nice to not have to fiddle with adapters (and risk ruining the reader again..).
Sims now come pre-cut in all 3 sizes. You just pop out the size you need.
Doing modifications to the phone is bound to cause more trouble. How did you even manage to break the sim slot?

Sure, but that doesn't really help if you want to switch between phones alot.
After I broke mine I checked around and apparently it's quite common. The small springs in the card reader gets stuck in the tiny gaps in between the sim and the adapter.
Here's some examples for instance: http://www.androidcentral.com/warning-using-sim-adapter-incorrectly-brings-down-world-hate
The replacement reader was dirt cheap and really easy to replace so that wasn't a problem really.
Some days I just feel like using a smaller phone while others I prefer my bigger Nexus. It'd be nice to just be able to move the sim without having to use an adapter.
Doubt we will ever see a nano sim reader on a phone that has been discontinued by many carriers.

You're probably right. It would've been nice if some third party were to make one.
This post has been opened to know issues relating to sim card replacement for moto g turbo(Merlin).
I'm not sure I understand... Take out the old SIM, insert the new SIM, adjust APN or have carrier auto-provision as necessary, and go on with your day to day activities.
Do you have a specific question or issue?
Actually my first sim card slot which had 3 golden pieces one got removed, will I be ever able to use sim slot 1 again cause everyone is saying that the whole phone has to be opened. Will the phone work as before if they open the whole phone, phone moto g turbo xt1557

Oh... You mean the SIM socket or slot itself. Sorry I misunderstood the issue. I can't help there.
SIM slot (socket) repair is both difficult and risks permanent damage to the logic board. I'm no expert in it myself but I do know that there are a few eBay vendors who deal in replacement slot (socket) modules for very reasonable prices. Replacing the unit -- from everything I've read and seen on the subject -- involves some intricate work with a soldering iron. There are some YouTube instructional videos should you wish to try.
From everything I've seen through replacement parts and teardown videos, you can complete this repair without soldering anything.
That being said, it does have its risks. It does require you to do almost a complete teardown of the phone in order to get access to the main logic board to remove and replace with a new sim flex connector. They're pretty reasonable for price on ebay, and do not need to be soldered, but you'd do well to order and replace the frame sticker as well.
Keep in mind that you will no longer have the ip67 (water/dust) rating after opening your phone. (The replacement frame stickers generally don't claim to prevent water penetration.) Aside from that, the phone will function as before (provided that the repair is completed properly).
On the other hand, if the second sim is still working, and you don't need the dual sim functionality, you can always leave it as...

Ahhh. I see what you mean. This model sports the flex connector versus Moto's usual solder connected slot. I stand corrected. Good info.
Hi everyone,
I love my Note Edge 915A so much I got another one, when the screen started flaking out: Half my screen goes greenish - have read its a microfracture that will only get worse.
So I went looking for another phone and decided I dont like current offerings (I use the SD card and IR blaster a LOT), so I'll get the same for the time being, and ended got a 915F from ebay. Internet said it would work with AT&T. It doesn't look like it does. Questions I need help with:
- SIM card (taken from the 915A I have ) says "Invalid SIM Card". I've re-seated and sung sweet songs to it. Doesn't want to take.
- Read that 4G/LTE wont work on the 915F, maybe never? Have we found a solution to this yet?
- I've never flashed the 915A, but can install a custom ROM for the 915F to get 4G/LTE to work on AT&T?
Bottom line is, I would like some feedback on if I should just return it and look for an used 915A? I liked this one because it was new in box, but...
Thank you!
My friend, i have three solution for you, sens it seem your simm card is dedicated only for the A phone model simmlock.
1. Go to at&t shop to make the simm card for your new phone, they might ask for your phone perhaps to simmlock??
2. Flashing at&t room on new phone could be danger if it's different hardware chipsets, you are in your own!!!
3. Changing hardware board from A model in to F model it should work, that means you have everything in your phone you had before, just be careful you dont desttoy anything during removal of the board, use plastic gloves for any static demage might happen.
