[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
I'm trying to do it - so far no luck. The tray really seems very tight and it's not going in, seems it would get stuck - I'm gonna try scrape the card some more with a scalpel to see if it helps. Scraped off the top bump on the card - not good enough, we'll see...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jhannbernas:
seems this is the action of samsung for people doing the microsd with sim hack. Maybe someday there will be a sim card tray mod instead. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] majinbeast:
Any luck? i had a samsung A3 2017 and it worked beautifully. yes, it was tight but the youtube instructions were pretty solid. didn't have to scrape the microsd... used a very thin double sided tape
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
I concluded that it's impossible on the Note 8—I scraped all the plastic of on the SD card and still there was super big pressure midway through trying to force the tray in—leading me to the conclusion that the tray would get stuck inside.

Damned Samsung…
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Exactly HOW do you plan to do that? Nothing to do with software but the hardware tray itself. The tray will physically only allow either one Sim and one SD card or two SIM you cannot place three in that tray there is no space to do so?

Any body else tries this on the note 8? i did the hack on my s8plus. Hoping i could just transfer it on the note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] doncerdo:
Like this [youtube]6kAeF3BdHlw[/youtube]

And it works perfectly on my note 8 as screenshot shows.

To all those afraid or interested:

1. Yes it works

2. If you are careful you will not break your phone

Best

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
But how did you manage it? Like I said I scraped the card—made it much thinner and still when pushing the tray in I felt significant pressure, felt it would get stuck.

Can you push the tray out from the phone? Can you post a close up picture of the cards in the tray to see how much they protrude up and down?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fragtion:
Also failed in my case despite considerable filing. They've definitely tightened up the slot to curb on users doing this, for some reason?? But you can buy extender adapters which are very low-profile and still likely to work I'm sure. I was very disappointed to see that they combined MicroSD and Nano sim so that only one can be exclusively used in the slot. Poor design. All 3 should be possible without any difficulty! Are we not paying for this convenience?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
At what point will you be satisfied? The Note 8 duo is between 100.00€ & 150.00€ more expensive to purchase in Europe.

Samsung make a dual SIM unit and still there is moaning? Would you prefer Samsung to revert back to zero SD card and only one SIM card as they did some time back?

You see when you mess with the device like this and force things into the SD-SIM card slot you run the risk of damaging your mobile. That's fine BUT its my experience that those who do these things then moan when they screw up their mobile!

Modify your own device at your own peril but please don't moan and don't blame Samsung if the device goes boobs up..

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
This "hack" works perfectly for me.

Started on Note 7,then onto the replacement S7e, and now on my Note 8. Never did any filing, but it somehow fits better on my Note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
I find that hard to believe—I filed the SD from both sides, still wouldn't go in…
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
Most probably the sim in your country is thicker

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
In what way are Samsung screwing us in THIS respect? Have you been sold a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that has instructions you can add two SIM cards and an SD card? Nope. So...........HOW are Samsung screwing us? :eek:

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
It's possible—but can in really be so? Once you remove the plastic, you're just left with the chipset. Can in differ in thickness?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
Yes, ive seen some pictures of Sim chips with a black block behind, mine doesn't have that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mateen5997:
Request

Please do not follow those youtube videos. I have lost my 64gb sandisk card and 2nd sim slot of my OPX which is not repairable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
This "hack" is indeed risky,t hough if you do it with care. It really isn't impossible to do (provided that the materials you'll use are compatible with the procedure)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mateen5997:
Who said impossible. I just wanted to remind the possibilties of other side. As you are using latest mobile bought with launching price. The risk which is involved is very high.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
You need to chill a little bit, you're sharing your experience just as i did mine.

I'm not saying the your wrong, in fact i agreed that it's a risky thing to do. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
Yes, mine had the block, plus I used the thinnest double-sided tape. That must be the difference.

What's the block for?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
I'm not really sure what the block is for, MAYBE you can shave if just a little bit but be veeerrrryyy careful because you might ruin your sim card.

If you have an old sim similar to what you have right now, maybe you can try doing the shaving on that one first before moving onto your main sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jhannbernas:
Hi Bro,

Can share some pics or videos on how it looks on your note 8? specially when inserting the tray into the phone? I am really tempted to do this. I have this sdcard + sim mod on my S7e. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
Will try to do that within the week :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jaybz:
You need to remove the sim chip and connectors from the white mold it is glued to. You don't need to do anything to the microsd. The previously posted video uses the candle heat to melt the glue so you can pry it out. I, on the other hand, just cut off the edges then soaked it in acetone. Acetone dissolves the glue and the sim chip should come off on its own.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
Quite on the contrary—even after stripping the SIM it's not enough on the Note 8, that's why I also filed the SD—still wouldn't go in…
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jaybz:
It is a tight fit but I'm not sure why there's no room on yours. There is certainly enough room on mine. I even used double-sided tape instead of super glue to attach the sim onto the sd card. Using super glue should provide a less tighter fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 白い熊:
Would you mind taking out your SIM tray and making a super-close-up picture of it from the side? So I could see exactly by how many fractions of an inch either the stripped SIM or the SD card protrudes—I'd like to compare with mine, and am afraid if I push it in using great force, I'm not gonna be able to eject the tray.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] whiteangelcl:
I am using 2 sim cards and a Micro SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ahtom82:
can share how you do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jhannbernas:
Same with my case. I tried to use my old sdcard with the the sim hack applied. I have used this sd card with sim hack on my s7e for almost 2yrs without any problem.

Tried on note 8, i managed to lock the sdcard with sim on the sim tray. But when inserting it to the device, it will not go in. :eek:

Note 8 and S8/S8+ Edge Light Leak/Bleed Problems

works fine on my note 8 and my wife note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jaybz:
Hi, sorry but can't anymore. I removed the mod and instead bought one of those dual-sim extender things. It does exactly the same thing except the 2nd sim is on the outside of the phone. It makes contact with the internals via a very thin "fake nano sim" attached to a ribbon cable to the sim receptacle. It provides a much better fit and does not require you to do any modifications to the sim itself. It also does not require any adhesive.

As for not being able to eject the tray, don't worry. If you can insert the whole thing without causing damage (that is the hard part), you should be able to eject it without causing damage as well. I've done it on multiple phones before and yes, the amount of force required to eject the tray is greater, but it shouldn't get stuck. That said, the Note8 is a very expensive phone to break so you may want to get comfortable with a cheaper phone first. I've started doing the mod on my S7 so I've gotten pretty confident already. You might also want to use a cheap microsd first as well. It is possible to break the microsd physically as you may need to push the microsd downward slightly as you insert it.

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

I am now using something like that and it works. You may need to make sure that the ribbon cable is of the right length, I don't know what the ideal length is though. I bought might from a local seller and had a chance to fit it before purchasing. And make sure that it is compatible with Samsung phones. Motorola's hybrid dual sim has the sim positioned the other way around so one that works for Motorola phones will likely not work on Samsung phones without modifying the adapter. Also make sure that the SIM receptacle is for nano sims so you can hide it inside your case a bit easier. The micro sim receptacle works too but obviously it is larger. Also use some tape to make sure that the sim receptacle doesn't move around as it may cause scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jakub.wach:
I am also using external adapter (some random brand). The first try of installation failed because the connector pins in the phone put a pressure so the ribbon started to deform like paper. But next try, with second adapter and much more care from my side, worked. Ofc. You need to accept that you have something outside the phone. For me, Notes comes very natural with clear view/LED cases, so after pealling some material from the back part of the case, the adapter is bearly visible. And what's important for me, there is much less danger for the microSD, SIM and phone. And process is fully reversible (well, only the case have permanently missing 1 square centimeter of the material on the inside).

Hi I finally bought the 128 GB version in case the mod wouldn't work, but after a good polishing of the SD card I managed to slide the tray in. That plastic tray looks a bit cheap btw

Can you take the tray out and take a super close-up picture of it from the side, so I see how much the cards protrude on both top and bottom?

How hard did you have to push to get it in—very hard?

When I decided to get the note 8 I was in doubt so I got the 128gb version anyway.... SD is nice but fragile.. now I managed to get this working, I end up with 192 gb memory and a quick access to it. Great photo phone by the way
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gnuig:
I did get 2 sims and 1 memory card fittet in note 8 also :)

Yes, I can confirm... I did use just a dap of super glue (realize that I may note be able to use sd card again) but now have both of my sim cards and a 128GB memory card situated in my note 8 ;) I have had mine running like this for a month now, with no issues so far :)

It was still a very tight fit - but I was very carefull inserting tray, and it did eventually slide in well after a bit of carefull tinkering. Just to add - I did use a nail file on the mem card as suggested in many youtube videos, toughest part I think is getting the plastic off your 2nd sim card, the one to be fitted on your memory card (I used a lighter carefully several times to heat the plastic) and everything works fine when placed correctly.

Very happy with this, since I can now run my two different providers and have approx. 160GB total user storage. Very Nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] UserPower:
Simple: They're making us pay for every electronic component for making this work, and then skimping on a tiny fraction of a millimeter, making it not work anyway. They had the choice of making the phone half a millimeter thicker, and having everything work at once. You'd think they learned from the Note 7: Make the battery and everything around it as thin as possible, never mind if it's solid enough, and sure enough: Once the damn thing finally breaks, it catches fire in your pocket!

Some of us actually want two SIMS and an SD card at once. Hell, some of us even want removable batteries, and we simply don't care if the phone is a mm or two thicker for it! But what we do want, we'd pay for!

Looks good, working well?

I cannot get this in Australia, only found some from China which will be taking over 20 days for delivering.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
I got it online from china as well. Took mine 7 days to arrive. I was impressed as the website stated 18 days, pending custom clearance.

i tested this water as well. soaked it in water for about 30seconds and took it out. not very deep, around 1" deep, just enough to cover the screen with water. still working fine. dried the surface, shake out water from the ports.. took out the sim slot and it is still dry. no water entered.

Functionality works well. go for the slightly more expensive ones (USD5 each) but should last a bit longer because it has some thicker black lamination to protect the wires compared to the cheaper one. for the record i only used this for a month but so far no problem. i used the cheaper ones (USD1 each) before on my S7E and it lasted about 3 months before dying. it died when one of the connectors (wires) snapped. when it dies, you just loose access to the simcard. remove the simcard and put it back to the phone and use it temporarily without SD card while u order a new one.

I ordered 2, so i have a spare in case this get damaged.

Edit: If you are interested in using such devices, make sure you have a "loose fit" back casing.. tight fitting ones wont work as the simslot outside gets into the way. I am using Spigen Rugged Armor Extra. this type of casing should work fine. if u use those very very tight ones you might not be able to put on the casing.

You may have received a defective replacement camera.

I, personally, would recommend that you try to return it for a replacement one due to the one you had received being defective with it inability to focus.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Titus_Andronicus:
Thanks. I only replaced the lens (as I has shattered it when doing repairs to my 5th wheel RV). Maybe I need to replace the camera as well.

When the camera app tries to focus, it actually does nothing. It does not go in and out of focus then screw up. Nothing happens. So maybe the camera was also damaged.

Is there supposed to be any physical movement when the camera focuses? Could there be glass fragments blocking the motion? I wouldn't think there is physical movement, but I don't know.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ibuprophen:
Damage to the lens more than likely had damaged the camera mechanism as well.

It might have just hit the mechanism enough to where the focus piece in the camera was damaged as well.
