Hi there,
i've been searching for hours now but couldn't find anything working.
Usually I make phone calls from my mobile by calling my home number (which is free for me) and then being connected by my voip router, similar to using a calling card. In my Alcatel phone there is an option to use a general prefix where I enter the home number, a pause sign and the pin code. If that option is activated I simply use the phone book on the sim card and the prefix is used automatically. So I can activate or deactivate the calling card option whenever I want to.
Of course I want to have something similar on my MDA but all I could find were apps that either don't install/work on WM2003SE (Sunnysoft Callingcard, CCDialer, EZDial) or do not what I want them to (Mobidial).
Maybe somebody knows a solution?
Thanx in advance,
Harry
PS: I've got the most recent T-Mobile Big_Storage ROM installed.
Hi guys,
I've never had Windows Mobile device before and I'm now planning to get the recently announced HTC Touch Pro. I'm wondering how it'll handle SIM services.
The thing is that I'm using a special service with my provider that allows me to have two lines with different numbers on one SIM card. That way I can always receive incoming calls to both lines and switch between them two for outgoing calls.
I know that when I switch lines via the SIM menu it kind of resets the phone for a sec and registers again with the selected line. It works perfectly with my Symbian N73 but how the Touch Pro will handle this?
Thanks,
dEM

Anyone..?
imho, it will be able to handle it.
it should have a sim sevice icon in programs menu for you
I guess, but my main concern is will it be able to switch between the lines and if yes, will it take much longer than Symbian to do so...
for line switching, if you use reboot, it will take longer than symbian devices. but maybe the radio on/off will do the trick for you.
I don't really know how technically switching is done. I guess it's pretty similar to the dual sim solutions.
Dose anyone know if i can configure my DX900 to:
Question 1
Make calls and answer on SIM1 and only answer on SIM2 (lock it from makings calls)?
Question 2
If i have 2 contacts A and B, can i configure so that contacts A always use SIM 1 and contacts B always use SIM 2?
I don't know but i would like to ask you where did you buy it from and how much does it cost. Here in Bulgaria they still don't have it in stores. Probably it's best to e-mail their support if they answer.
I got it from my work, they bought it direct from E-TEN.
Don´t ask me how...

No, you can't configure it that way, sorry.
Thx, I will try that
It dosen´t work
DX900 want some code for the provider and i don´t know what code it is.
It´s not my PIN.
3 part programs who will fix my problem?

Hi,
Thanks for info.
I found a site with some screen shots and I see that you are promted to choose a SIM when you make a call or text. Can you tell me if you disable a SIM from outgoing calls then will it no longer prompt the SIM decision question?
My plan would be to put a data SIM (one out of a USB HSDPA dongle) into SIM1 and use SIM2 for all calls. It is my cunning plan to avoid the fact that mobile data is charged at such an expensive rate. Any comments?
Cheers
Review
How's the performance of E-TEN Glofiish DX900, please. I am planning to buy the unit. Thanks.
Hello, I have the DX900 from 3 weeks, and I am happy, but it still needs a better firmware, because some software issues are here, battery last for only one day or less... but we expect that the new ROM 551 or the very good roms that you make here would solve these issues... I need two sim cards for saving A LOT OF MONEY in my calls (I pay now $50 instead of $300 every month because I have two different plans for morning and afternoon in a single phone), and this the only model that I know with Windows Mobile and Dual SIM dual online (except for some chinese phones like Dubao or IGIC with a worse quality and only WM5...)
i have also question PL Rom exist for that model?
I'd like to buy this device, as far as I know there isn't any dual sim win mobile phone still available. I know there's a dual sim Android phone, Sciphone N21, but it isn't an UMTS phone.
Anyone can write a short review about DX900 and the Sciphone N21?
Thanks in advance
The DX900 has been discontinued.
It is as E-ten but it is sold as Acer DX900.
I read you have one Dx900, what do you think about it?
Acer DX900 vs Sciphone N21
Hi,
I have owned both of these phones in the last 4 weeks and can offer the following information:
N21 -
Pros: Nice looking phone, nice form factor, light, Android is awesome!, Dual sim is really nicely implemented into Android.
Cons - screen is not very responsive, screen is a rubbish resolution and non-standard so some of the Android apps don't scale properly, text input is a nightmare, only 2.5G, Bluetooth only works when wi-fi is on (weird, huh?)
DX900 -
Pros: Ok looking phone, led flash on camera, VGA screen, Windows Mobile, 3G
Cons: A little heavy, Windows Mobile, text input is a nightmare, less slick but ok dual sim integration
What I have ended up doing is sending the N21 back (still waiting for a refund) and loading WM6.5.1 onto the DX900 along with the keypad from the Touch Diamond. This makes it VERY finger friendly and almost a joy to use! I just got this set up this morning so I'll let you know if I have any nightmares (so far, the only bugs on the WM6.5.1 ROM are that the vol keys don't work and can't connect with ASync to my PC, but I'm searching for a fix on these!)
Thank you AMoosa, in the meantime i've bought a Dx900 and it should arrive soon, i hope

Hi Amosa, what WM 6.5 are you installing? I have tested a few ones and the result is very bad. There is not -I couldn't find- large number of people hacking this device.
And about the keypad, can you guide me on where find the Touch Diamond keypad that works with dx900?
Thanks a lot.
Rom DX900
Bonsoir, je recherche une rom 6.5 en Français "la dernière si possible" ?

Hello,
I just faced an issue and hope one of you can point me somewhere to fix this.
I have an active sync server connection setup. When I now download a mail attachment and my mobile is called the phone does not ring at all. The call is diverted directly to voicemail.
I tested the same with other phones (Treo Pro (WM6.1) and Nokia deives (symbian)). All using the same operator and same SIM card.
Using the Palm I was able to get 8 out of 10 calls on the phone and was able to pick them up, using a Nokia 10 out opf 10 came to the mobile, so no call loss at all.
Using Raphael I get none out of 10, which is not that nice.
Do you have a Reg-Key or something else I can use to get this issue fixed?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Jan
Mhhh.... It seems that no one else has this issue....
Any idea how to modify the priority on the GSM interface, so that the device stops data transfers when a call is presented????
Thanks for any help!!!
Ive got the problem right the other way, i tired to download some 200mb file and Opera canceled the download a few times because of some incoming calls.
I don't know some option to change this behavior...
The option to change that setting is in Settings/Phone/Services/DDTM Mode then turn that option on or off. Hope that helps a bit.
NOTE: This review was written when the app used to be called 'MTK Control'. So any references in the text to 'MTK Control' now refer to the app's new name of 'Dual Sim Control'.
I have been using chinese dual SIM phones for quite some years now and love the facilities they provide. I can have both my work SIM and my personal SIM in one device rather than having to carry two phones around with me as I used to. Also using the dual SIM solution allows both SIM's to be connected to the hands free system in my car so that I can make and receive calls on either SIM through the car system.
However, there has always been a downside and that is the SIM management facilities built in to Android. When making a call or text, when you press the send button a box will pop up asking which SIM you want to use to make the call/text which you have to select before the call is made. There is a facility whereby you can assign each contact in your address book to a particular SIM but even this does not automatically make the call using the assigned SIM. All that happens is that when you make a call/text the same box will pop up asking which SIM to use and the only difference is that now there will be an indicator next to one of the SIM's recommending it based on the SIM assignment but you still have to manually select it. Now I don't find this a particular problem when using the phone normally but it is a major problem when using the phone via the hands free system in my car because when I make a call through the car system the box still pops up on the phone asking which SIM to use which is a big drawback and means that the phone has to be accessible and visible while in the car.
However, I have now found a great solution that I have been using for about a month now and is working great. It is an APP called 'MTK Control' which is available through the Google Play Store and is available as a free version and a premium version. I would suggest testing it with the free version first to make sure it will work with your phone but if it does work ok then I would wholeheartedly recommend purchasing the premium version which is only 79p (around $1) and adds additional functionality like homescreen widgets etc.
So, what does 'MTK Control' do that the built in SIM management does not. Well, everything to be honest. Firstly it gives you toggle actions to turn each SIM on/off or to toggle calls between the two SIM's and also to toggle the data connection between the two SIM's.
All of these functions can be added as widgets to the homescreens in the premium version as shown below.
However the best part comes with the ability to create rules to assign contacts and numbers to a particular SIM and have that SIM used automatically with no user intervention required. This is done in the following screen.....
….where you can input a single number, a group of numbers using wildcards, an individual contact or a group of contacts and then select which SIM you want to assign this rule to. So the following screen shows that the contact groups 'Family', 'Friends' and 'Services/Shops Personal' are asigned to SIM 1 (personal SIM) and the groups 'Coworkers', 'Customers' and 'Services/Shops Work' are asigned to SIM 2 (work SIM).
There is also an auto learn function that can be activated so that the first time you dial a new number or contact it will ask you which SIM to use but it will then automatically create a rule for this number so that in the future it will be automatically chosen.
The best part about this is that it works seamlessly with the hands free system in the car. When I initiate a call from the car system the phone will automatically select the SIM to use based on the rules that have been setup. This means that I don't need to physically access the phone at all and it can stay in my pocket.
In my view this app does what the built in SIM management should have done from the start. The developer of the app is constantly updating it with new features and is very approachable and takes on board feature requests.
One word of note, as the title of this thread suggests, the app will only work with Mediatek based mobile phones and will not work with phones like the Samsung Duos range etc. I personally have tested it with the following phones:
UMI X1S (MTK6589)
Jiayu G3 (MTK6577)
Jiayu G4 (MTK6589)
Jiayu G4S (MTK6592)
I haven't used the text or data functionality so can't comment on that specifically but the call related functions and the calling rules I use all the time and have worked flawlessly.
NOTE: This app is now called 'Dual Sim Control' and is now compatible with Samsung Duos phones as well as MTK based phones.
I have no connection whatsoever with the developer of this app. I am just a very happy user of it.
Update: Edited top post to reflect this additional information.
I have now tested and can confirm that 'MTK Control' also works on the Jiayu G4S phone which uses the MTK6592 Octa-core SOC.
Hi,
Thanks Russell for the review.
I'm the developer of this app, and if you have any doubts regarding the app, suggestions, or problems with any function please contact me directly using the contacts available at the Google Play app page or (as long as Russell doesn't mind having his thread slightly hijacked) ask here.
Thanks

Hi Russell,
I have a G4s but don't seem able to get it to work right, can you confirm that you are using the kitkat rom with this?
I have bound numbers with the app and with the system but still asks me for a sim when dialling via Bluetooth.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Hi,
Can you post the configuration you have on MTK Control, and on Android Settings.
Do you have any contact SIM preference defined?
Thanks for sharing.

Hi,
what info do you need?
I have some numbers as preferred in contacts (they show a little symbol and the sim card name next to them in the phone book) and added some rules also in mtk control, and slid the enable button on and it said always validate, but still get the box pop up saying which sim.
Let me know if you need anything else, and thanks for looking at it.

Hi,
try to remove all the preferred contacts in Android settings, and then set on of the SIMs as the preferred one. This way I think that the Android popup to select SIM should not be shown.
Then you use MTK Control entirely to select the SIM used to dial.
Please tell me if this helped.
is confirmed working on kitkat ?, I have huawei honor 3c. thank you
I confirmed that it works off sims, but not to create rules, always asked to choose sim, its free version. my phone huawei honor 3c

Hi,
I've made an upgrade last week to improve KitKat compatibility.
However, the best is to try the free version like you did. There is also a grace period on the payed version (not in-app purchase, only on the full version) so you can always try all the functions and cancel the order to get refunded.
Regarding your problem when you say that you are always asked to choose sim, you're talking about a MTK Control popup or the stock Android popup? If it's the latest, look my previous post where I explain how to get the best experience with the Call Rules.
Regards

Hi
Sorry for delay, did a full reset of phone to make sure no other apps messing with it.
No sim associations are set in android.
voice calls set to always use one sim
Rules created in MTK control to use second sim.
Phone will dial via Bluetooth speech recognition and appears to choose the sim but call ends without ever connecting. No box pops up asking for sim choice, interestlingly if the screen lock is off the calling screen doesn't show either.
I can hand dial a number and it appears to choose the sim and show calling screen but uses Bluetooth for voice.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

So if you dial using Bluetooth the call is never made... but if you dial from phone with the Bluetooth connected it works as expected?
Can you send me the application debug information after replicating the first situation?

Hi,
can you please try to increase the time before the call is made using MTK Control settings?
Try it with 0 ms delay or with a delay like 500 ms.
Tell me how it goes...

Changed the delay to 500ms and this has fixed it, now dials via Bluetooth speech recognition and call connects.
Many thanks for the advice and help.
Steps for anyone else having an issue.
1.remove associations in android
2.set sim association in MTK control
3. set a sim as default for voice in android
4. set time delay to 500ms in MTK
Thanks again
as remove associations in android?. thx

Hi,
In Android settings you can define one of the SIMs as the prefered one for a given contact.
This associations induce, in my opinion, a not very user friendly behaviour even .when not using my app.
You should remove them to make sure that my app can work it's magic without interferences.

Hi,
I believe that it doesn't work, but you can try it with the free version. I'm however preparing a new MTK Control version that will bring support to Android One and Samsung phones.
Join the Google+ community since I will announce there when it's released.
Thanks
This APP looks great but you clearly state it will not work on other phones, like my LG G3 so I was wondering if you know of any other APP like this that will work on a normal LG G3 dual SIM phone ?
Thanks mate
