Lenovo M10 SIM Slot: Common Issues & Solutions for Indian Users
The Lenovo M10 is a popular budget smartphone in India, but users occasionally face issues with the SIM slot. Here’s a guide to troubleshooting SIM card problems specific to Indian networks and devices:
1. SIM Card Compatibility
Single vs. Dual SIM: Confirm if your M10 model supports dual SIM (e.g., Nano + Nano/Micro). Some variants may have only one SIM slot.
SIM Type: Ensure your SIM is a Nano SIM (common in India). Micro SIMs may not work unless your phone supports it.
Network Bands: Check if your SIM supports 4G bands used by Indian operators (e.g., Band 8, Band 40 for Jio/Airtel).
2. Common Issues & Fixes
Issue 1: SIM Not Detected
Solution:
Gently clean the SIM tray with a soft cloth.
Reinsert the SIM card fully, ensuring it clicks into place.
Toggle airplane mode or restart the phone.
Issue 2: Poor/No Network Signal
Solution:
Update the phone’s baseband firmware via Lenovo Vantage app.
Reset network settings: Go to Settings > System > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Contact your operator to check coverage in your area.
Issue 3: eSIM Support
Lenovo M10 may not support eSIM in India. If your operator (e.g., Airtel) offers eSIM, use a physical SIM as a fallback.
Issue 4: SIM Tray Stuck
Solution:
Use the tray ejector tool (often included in the box).
Avoid forcing the tray; consult a technician if stuck.
3. Software Glitches
Update the OS: Go to Settings > System > Software Update.
Clear Cache: Boot into recovery mode and perform a "Cache Partition Wipe".
4. Contacting Support

5. Pro Tips for Indian Users
Use a SIM card adapter if your SIM is too thick.
Enable VoLTE in Settings > Connections > SIM & Network > VoLTE for HD voice calls.
Avoid using SIM cards with metal edges, which can cause signal issues.
If issues persist, visit a Lenovo service center or authorized retailer in India. Always back up data before performing factory resets.
Note: Model-specific details may vary. Check your device’s manual for exact specs.
