SIM Slot Problem on PinePhone Pro
#7
The SIM card slot is the "Micro" size, if you have a "Nano" card and you're using the adapter that Pine provided, I noticed that the card falls out of the adapter very easily, and if you go ahead and shove the whole thing in with the card slightly out of place, you're going to have problems. Once the adapter's empty cavity goes past the pins, the pins will pop up into that cavity and grab hold ... DON'T TRY TO PULL IT OUT. The only hope at that point is to use micro tools and a good magnifying glass to gently slid the SIM card fully into the cavity of the adapter, over the pins, then you can pull it out with ease.

I've found it's easiest to turn the phone upside down while sliding the adapter and card in, that way gravity isn't trying to pull the card out of place. It's really a crappy adapter, there are much better ones out there that don't let the SIM card become dislocated.
