Sim card in Meizu smartphone - user manual

Where is the SIM card inserted in Meizu phones?

If in old push-button phones the SIM card was inserted into the back of the smartphone under the cover and battery, then modern smartphones, including Meizu (m6, mini, note, M5, etc.), have a separate tray for the card. Most often, it is located in the side of the case; you can find the tray by the recess in the case into which a paperclip is inserted to remove the tray.

A paperclip is included with the device. To remove the SIM, you need to insert a paperclip into the hole and press a little, a click will occur, after which the tray will “pull out” on its own.

Where and at what prices can you buy memory cards?

If your plans include buying a new memory card for your phone, make a profitable purchase at one of the electronics stores in a convenient online mode. At the same time, from a certain purchase amount you will be offered prompt delivery.

If you don’t trust online markets, you can simply visit any electronics and household appliances store. The price range is decent, depending both on the specific brand of the manufacturer and on the amount of memory provided.

On average, memory cards are on sale today at a price of 350-14,000 rubles.

Supported SIM card sizes

Meizu phones support SIM cards of the following formats:

• Mini;
• Nano.

They differ from each other only in size; they perform the same functionality. It is advisable to clarify the format of the SIM card when purchasing a gadget and trim it. Now operators immediately issue users with a SIM card, which they can independently “break off” to fit the desired format; if the SIM card is old, it will need to be cut.

On the Internet you can find a video on how to combine a SIM card in your phone with a memory card.

Common Problems

Meizu owners often encounter some problems when using a SIM card in a smartphone.

Sim card is busy, try again later

The problem occurs due to incorrect firmware, system failures, or the card's memory is full. To check the memory, try inserting the SIM card into another smartphone; if the error appears again, look through your contact list and delete unnecessary entries.

If there are problems with the firmware, there is only one way out - installing stable, preferably official, software.

Meizu smartphone does not see the SIM card

Problems with map visibility are associated either with a malfunction of the SIM card itself or with system failures. In case of system failures, it is enough to reboot the gadget or activate the “Airplane” mode for a few minutes.

If there is no result, try inserting the SIM card into another smartphone:

1. If it does not work, you need to change the card from the operator to a new one.
2. If it works, the card reader may be broken in the smartphone; you need to contact a service center and have it repaired.

Adviсe

1. If the application stops working after transferring to external memory, you should transfer it back. Also, this application can simply be reinstalled. In this case, all game or program settings will be lost and will have to be entered again.
2. Do not store personal information in the built-in memory. Transfer media files to a flash drive. Leave internal space for installing applications.
3. Do not clutter your smartphone with unnecessary programs. If you downloaded an application, but never used it, delete it without hesitation.
4. Don't forget to backup all data. This will allow you to restore information on your smartphone if serious software failures occur.
5. If you have transferred some applications to an SD card, and then begin to notice problems in using the phone, you should pay attention to a complete reset of the settings.

How to remove a SIM card from your phone

To remove a SIM card from Meizu, you need to find the installation location of the tray on the case, use a special paper clip to press the lever in the recess, and then remove the device with the card from the slot.

To remove the tray, you must use only special keys; without a key, you can open it using a paper clip. Under no circumstances should you try to open the tray using sharp objects.

Users who have purchased any smartphone from Meizu first insert a SIM card into it so that they can fully use the phone. However, inexperienced users may have questions about how exactly to do this. The fact is that in new devices the method of installing SIM cards has changed somewhat compared to older models. Therefore, we have compiled detailed instructions on how to insert a SIM card into Meiza.

Expert advice on choosing a memory card for a smartphone

When choosing a memory card for your smartphone (Meizu or any other), you should be careful and focus not only on the price segment of the product. Don't forget to pay attention to the brand as well as the specific type of MicroSD. Today, their classification includes 3 large groups or generations, each of which differs in permissible volume.

This:

1. 2-4 GB, standard MicroSD, which rarely anyone buys today due to their modest volume.
2. 4-32 GB, microSDHC. These solutions are distinguished by increased capacity.
3. 32-512 GB, microSDXC – options with extremely high capacity, practical and productive.

How to understand which generation a particular product belongs to?

Take a look at its front side and you will notice special markings. Consider the purpose of using the storage device and the type of information being placed. All this will help you make the right choice and purchase a truly useful accessory.

Meizu smartphone does not see the SIM card - how to solve the problem

Sometimes the smartphone stops seeing the SIM card. This can happen with any Meizu model - m1, m3, m5, m5s, pro 7 note. We list the most common reasons:

• SIM problems. The card chip is faulty. Since this is an electronic circuit, it can easily fail due to a short circuit (for example, if the phone was dropped into water) or due to mechanical damage (scratches, careless trimming when the user tries to change the size of the SIM card, etc.). );
• defects of individual modules (contacts, cable, controllers, etc.);
• errors in the operation of Android OS that could arise, for example, after the Meizu owner independently flashed the device. Or the reason may be that the operating system is infected with a virus.

If you suspect that the problem is with the SIM card, you need to check it for external damage. If there are defects, you should contact your mobile operator to replace this sim with a new one. But it happens that the phone does not recognize a completely new SIM card. Then you need to perform activation. The easiest way is to top up your balance. Issues with activating new SIM cards, as well as SIM cards that have not been used for several months, are resolved by the cellular operator.

In a situation where Meizu fell from a height or into water, or was exposed to other adverse factors, there is a high probability of damage to any internal module. Independent manipulations are unlikely to help here; it is best to take the phone to a service center for diagnostics and repairs. You can, however, try to remove the SIM card from Meizu, wipe the tray with alcohol, carefully and correctly install the SIM back in place so that the card does not accidentally jump out, or, conversely, get stuck.

When the problem of a SIM card not being recognized is caused by a virus, a hard reboot of the device and resetting it to factory settings can help. To do this, you need to turn off the smartphone, and then hold down the power button and the volume up button for 15-20 seconds. The phone will turn on and “Meizu” will appear on the screen. Recovery mode will boot. A menu will appear with the options “System upgrade” and “Clear data”. To reset to factory settings, select “Clear data” - erase data. If a backup was made and the user saved all the important information to a computer or flash drive, launching this option will not cause any harm. Please be aware that a password may be required during a factory reset. If it is forgotten, and the password to the “Flyme” account is forgotten, then there is one more way - installing a new firmware version on Meizu.

New software will also be required when the SIM card is no longer detected by the smartphone after an unsuccessful flashing attempt. It is recommended to download the latest version of the software from the official Meizu website or from trusted sources. You need to choose a version strictly for your model (for example, for M5, not m5s; do not forget that M6 and M6 laptop are different models). After updating the firmware, many problems related to the software part disappear. If not, it is better to use the services of the service.

Sometimes in smartphones designed to use 2 cards, one of the SIM modules is disabled when the energy-saving mode is activated. For this reason, one of the SIM cards may be invisible. You need to go to the SIM card management menu and activate the disabled module.

The settings also add the ability to adjust color temperature, so you can make the colors warmer or, conversely, cooler to suit your taste. By activating the appropriate option, focus and exposure can be measured separately.

After this, the SIM card slot snaps out and can be completely removed for installation. I completely forgot that Maze needs a nano SIM card, but I had a regular one, with the ability to break a micro SIM card. Meizu m2 note how to insert a SIM card, to do this you need to use a supplied or regular paper clip, which you need to insert into a special hole, located on the side of the smartphone, and press. When two nanoSIM cards (4FF format) are installed, one radio channel of the device operates with them in Dual SIM Dual Standby mode, in other words, both SIM cards are active, but when one is busy, the other is unavailable.

Install SIM2 into the tray slot and insert the tray completely. Regarding SIM cards, I would like to note the following: the Meizu M2 Mini smartphone does not have the ability to use two SIM cards and a memory card at the same time. Meizu M2 mini and similar Android smartphones have a universal tray into which you can insert two SIM cards. On the left side of the smartphone there is a slot for SIM cards and memory cards.

I completely forgot that Maze needs a nano SIM card, but I had a regular one, with the ability to break a micro SIM card. The card is inserted with the contacts facing down, this can be understood if you look into the crack of the phone in good light; the antennae of the contacts are visible there.

Not long ago I wrote a review about the Meizu M1 Mini smartphone with one SIM card, today I want to talk about another, new model Meizu M2 Mini with two SIM cards. On the back cover there is a flash and a 13MP main camera. What I like about this model is how well the camera is positioned.

Overall, we liked the smartphone. Meizu M2 Mini is available with 16GB of internal memory and microSD support, in four different body colors: white, blue, gray and pink. Information about the final cost of the smartphone in Russia and the start date of pre-orders will be provided a little later on the official Meizu Russia website. Micro SIM 2 is inserted into the smaller slot, and regular, mini SIM 1 is inserted into the larger slot. Then carefully put the slot with cards in place. And turn on your phone as usual.

Sim card is busy, try again later - problem solution for Meizu

Blocking a card or erasing all numbers occurs due to software glitches or broken firmware. Sometimes the stored contact data becomes too much - the small amount of memory on the SIM card cannot cope with this, which inevitably leads to bugs.

We have selected several solutions recommended by other users that will help get rid of this problem:

• Cleaning via another smartphone. First, let’s check to see if the card’s memory is full. Take another smartphone and place your problematic SIM in it. Go to contact settings. Find a few numbers you don't need. Remove them completely - the more, the better. Next, return the SIM card to your smartphone. Now she has to earn it.
• Simcard managers. Download SIM Card Manager. Install on your phone or PC. It is necessary to clear unnecessary data: for example, duplicate phone numbers. Using the application, try exporting contacts to a file or simply copying them to your smartphone’s memory. Be sure to test all possible options that the utility provides.
• SIM card failure. Also, the “SIM card is busy, try again later” error in Meizu may occur due to a broken SIM card. They fail quite often, especially when cutting cards to. In this case, nothing can be done. All that remains is to rewrite everything manually. Remember that if the solutions described above did not help, then you should hurry up with rewriting your contacts, because in the future everything may break completely and the data will be lost forever.

Is it possible to transfer application data without root?

The developers have closed access to the function on all the company’s smartphones. They explained this by saying that external memory is slower than built-in memory. And if you install applications on an SD card, they will freeze when launched, or may not turn on at all. The function has been disabled for all Meizu devices with operating systems starting from Android 7 and higher.

The internal memory may be enough to install applications if all media files are saved to a flash drive.

If your phone is full of data, you should analyze it and delete it if necessary. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Enter the “Security” item.
• Click the “Clean” button.
• In the window that opens, information about the files that take up space on the phone will appear.

Some users try to transfer applications to a flash drive using Root rights . It is highly undesirable to do such a procedure. Basically, everyone who has transferred programs to a flash drive complains about the device overheating and its slow operation.

By default, photos from the camera are saved to the internal storage. To avoid filling up your memory with numerous pictures, in the settings, specify a flash drive as the storage location.

How to insert a SIM card and memory card into Meiza M2 Mini and similar smartphones

1. The first thing you need to do in order to insert a SIM card into the Meiza M2 Mini is to take the supplied paperclip.
2. Next, take the smartphone itself; on one of the side faces there should be a tray with a hole for a paperclip. We look for a hole on the edge and insert a paper clip there.
3. If done correctly, the tray will pop out a little.
4. Next, take the SIM card and place it with the contacts down in one of the two connectors. It is recommended to use the one that is not for the memory card, so that you can use it in the future.
5. We insert the tray back until it stops.

That's it, all the necessary actions are completed. Now you know how to insert a SIM card into a smartphone.

From the instructions above we learned how to insert a SIM card into Meizu. And this may not only be the M2 Mini model. This method works for almost any device from the manufacturer, including Meizu U10 and other devices.

Using similar instructions, you can insert a memory card, but only into the slot that is provided for this.

The above guide, although quite detailed, is not entirely complete. It doesn't say how to use two SIM cards at the same time. We'll talk about this further. Unfortunately, the tray is hybrid, which means you have to sacrifice a memory card to be able to use two carriers at the same time.

Meizu software problems

In dual-SIM smartphones, to reduce power consumption, users have the opportunity to disable one of the connectors. Therefore, if the device does not see only the second card, see if this slot is active. This can be done in the “SIM cards and networks” tab.

If Meizu M3 Note does not see the SIM card after downloading suspicious programs or visiting dubious sites, there is a high probability that it is loaded with malware. If you have root rights on your phone, the virus can remove the IMEI identifier, thereby blocking the operation of the communication module.

The Meizu engineering menu will help you restore IMEI:

If SIM cards stop working after installing custom firmware on Meiza, licensed software will help restore them to their normal state. Its suitable version can be downloaded from the official Meizu website flymeos.com and installed through the Recovery Mode built into the phone.

1. Be sure to turn off your Meizu smartphone.
2. Using a special key clip that comes with the phone, remove the tray by simply gently pressing the hole near the tray on the side panel.
3. In the first installation location on the side of the hole we place the first SIM card (in the smartphone it will be designated SIM1), having first cut or broken it to the “nano” size. In order not to make a mistake with the side and direction of the contacts, be sure to combine the oblique cut on the SIM card with a similar cut in the tray.
4. In the second installation location we install either a second SIM card (SIM2) or a memory card, also not forgetting to align the slices.
5. Carefully insert the tray with the side you took out back into the phone body so that it does not stick out or be excessively recessed.
6. We turn on the smartphone.

*The method of simultaneous use of a second SIM card and an external memory card, which is described on the Internet and which involves cutting and gluing both cards, can lead not only to damage to the cards themselves, but also to damage to the Meizu smartphone. And this is already an expensive and, at the same time, non-warranty repair. So if you are not confident in your engineering abilities, then it is better not to take risks.

*If you lose the original key-clip, you can use improvised means. For example, a paper clip. The main thing is that its diameter is the same or slightly smaller than the diameter of the original key and that the end is not pointed.
