Hi everybody, very strange thing happened to me, because of bat drain I decide to switch back to WM5 and then put Core 2.0 back on it, I did this with Molski.biz AKU 3.3 - Crossbow look and I noticed the operator name exists as it should be (never happened before, I always had some digits instead of operator name), and after I've put core 2.0 back, then the digits appeared again instead of operator name.
Hope, I explained it ok
And the question is, can somebody give me any directions how to get the operator name back on my x-plore core 2.0, is there any reg key to change, I found that number (operator number) on two places, one is a string value, and the second is decimal, but if I try to change the string to my operator name, and reboot - nothing happened which is understandable in some point...but...
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
Just to let interested people know:
Customize operator's name
To show specified operator name set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=0 (DWORD decimal)
And then at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names
add the code and the name to display. The value is 5 digits "CCCOO", where CCC is 3-digits country code, and OO is 2-digits operator's code. For example:
"25099"="BEE LINE"
For country and network code, go to wikipidea for mobile country code and network code
To show operator name based on the SIM card used (eg for cases where dual SIM adapter are used), set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=1 (DWORD decimal)
For my dual-SIM adaptor, when I switch between SIMs, the phone with default settings showed always one and the same name, until I reboot the device. Then, it was not able to retrieve operator's name from one of the SIM cards I use. Probably it is an adaptor fault. But anyway, after I changed ONSDisplayRule to 0 and set more up-to-date names for operators that I use, I now always see the name of the operator of the chosen SIM.

when i first got my Audiovox SMT5600 however long ago, all it would show until one day was 310-410. i finally realized that this was simply the carrier's ID number, and can be fixed simply by going into the network settings and changing the preferred network to the actual carrier's name and not the number. i hope this helps, i havent had a problem since this happened, which was about 3 or 4 years ago.. i think it may have saved my settings onto my SIM card which is why.. anyway good luck

My gues is U had a bad flash, try reflashing again with diferent WM 5 ROM.Good luck.
thanks alot, man!
Hello,
a few days ago i got my HD2.
Now the problem i have is to switch between the two numbers of my dual SIM card.
I installed Dual SIMToday.
But this doesn't work with HTC Sense or SPB Mobile Shell.
does anyone has an idea which sw i can use?
thanks in advance

hi.
Where did u get dual simcard?
Hello,
i use a dual SIM from Vodafone with two different nummers
(company and Privat)
Does this Matters?
Esip
Dual Sim's
Usually, Dual Sim Card's have their own chip embedded selection menu, which can be accesed from the phone menu...you should look in the Start menu or Settings area for a new icon called soemething like "Dual Sim Card" or "SIM Toolkit" or such...if you can't find any, then most probably you have the STK Service turned of on youre phone.
The easiest eay to verify the STK Service Status is to install BSB Tweaks 1.6, and just check the menu for "STK Service" if it's turned off, enable it, reboot youre phone..and you should have the Sim Change Icon Appear.
Dual SIM
Hello,
i only have one SIM Card with two numbers.
No Dual SIM adapter between.
So there is no SW for the Duals SIM adapter on the phone.
Regards
Esip
No settings icon?!...nowhere?
There should have been an option somewere in the phone menu for the dual sim card. (i Know it's not a "Hardware Adapter" Dual sim..nevertheless it uses the same principle so it's should act as one)
In Vodafone Greece for example there is an icon called Vodafone 2gether that allows for an easy way to swap the primary number.
Read this for more info: http://www.vodafone.gr/portal/client/cms/viewCmsPage.action?pageId=1278
No settings icon?!...nowhere?
Hello redman8x8
in Germany Vodafone doesn's have these options.
there is no SW on the HD2 (no Branding)
and you don't get any Software when you get the Dual SIM.
thanks for the info anyway.
The majority of dual sim phones have a WCDMA(3G) and GSM (2G) sim card slot as the primary slot and a GSM only sim card slot as the secondary. This means that only one sim can use a 3G connection, the other sim will only be able to pick up a 2G signal. So as long as you don’t plan on using the 3G internet connection on both sims you’ll be fine. The 3G sim card slot is marked with a “W”, the 2G sim card slot is marked with a “G”. There are plans for newer dual-sim Android phones which have dual 3G compatible sim slots.
When you turn on your phone you are greeted with two signal bars at the top of the phone, the first one is for the first sim slot, the second one is for the second sim slot. The majority of phones work in a dual standby mode, whereas a minority work in a dual active mode. Dual standby is when both sims can work at the same time, but say for example you use one sim card to make a call, the other sim card will not work and be on standby for the duration of the call. Dual active is where both sim cards will be active all the time, even during calls. An easy way to get around the Dual standby limitation of turning one sim off when you’re on a call is to set up call forwarding on both sims to each other. This means that if you are using Sim 1 on a call and someone calls you on Sim 2, which is on standby, the call will be forwarded to sim 1 with the active connection and will be listed as a waiting call which you can choose to answer. Simple!

You can manage both Sim cards from the settings. Just click on sim management at the top. Here you get the option to turn the Sim cards on and off at will and you can set the defaults for each sim. For example I use 3 as my data connection, where as I have O2 as my default for voice calls. You can also set the phone to always ask you which sim card to use. The picture below shows you what it looks like when you set it to “always ask”.
You can also assign contacts to certain Sim cards, this is useful when differentiating between work colleagues and personal contacts. The call/texts goes through on the sim of your choice no matter what. This can be changed from the contact itself, or from the sim management settings.
When you get a call or text, or if you send a call or text, the phone will display the Sim used. For example, you can see that one text was from my three number, another text was to my O2 number. You can also change these settings on the go. For example, when in the dialer or messaging service, drag down the notification bar and you get an option to switch to a different sim card as default.
Using a dual sim phone on Android is simple. You have all the options you need at the touch of a button.
how to set to ask ?!
My phone is LG optimus L5, E615, dual sim.
and android version 4.0.4 .
it has a shortcut key for changing primary sim for outgoing calls and messages but i want to set it in a way which ask me each time before making call or sending sms ! because i sometimes will forget which one is set as primary !
but in phone settings there is no option to choose it (
( in my phone, it's not like what you described here )
is there any app for this purpose ?!
So I have SIM1 for private contacts and SIM2 for work in my phone which runs Android 4.2.1.
I've used the Contact Binding to bind all the contacts from work to SIM2.
But when I choose a contact from work to call, the phone still pops up the box to choose via which SIM I want to make the call.
It does show a sort of favourite logo next to my work SIM, but what is the use of Contact binding if it still asks me for the SIM.
Anyone who has a solution for this problem? I can't figure it out.
I think this SDK / API from MediaTek is being used on the Dual SIM Android phones with MediaTek SoC:

I had the same problem with jiayu g4 (is it a problem?)
I bind my private and work contacts to the simcards, and in settings i can choose a standard calling sim or "ask each time".
If i choose a standard sim then contacts binded to this sim are dialed directly, but on other contacts the phone will ask every time.
Is there any solution to dial contacts immediately?

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that
It's not really a problem per se, but because my car sytem doesn't know how to deal with a Dual SIM phone (like every bluetooth connected in-car system here in Europe I guess). It will always dial using the first SIM and won't ask for SIM. The first SIM is the only slot I have with 3G support so I have to have my private SIM in that (first) slot and my work SIM in the second slot.
I also asked Cubot the same question, they were going to look into it (for whatever that's worth)
That was really a great tip!
I've seperated all my contacts with contact binding between both SIM's (private and work) and have set the default for Voice calls to my work SIM.
When calling a work contact it will immediately dial through work SIM, when calling a private contact it will first ask.
I know it's still not exactly as it should be, but at least it makes everything al lot easier
I am happy to help you.

I don't think it's an app. It's some sort of setting. The Allview P6 Stony, Fly IQ444 and NGM Legend XL all use the same hardware.
The Fly IQ444 can associate contacts with a SIM only after adding the following code to the build.prop
Code:
ro.gn.association.sim=yes
ro.gn.association.sim_switch=yes
The P6 Stony can't associate contacts with a SIM at all
(Well ok, if you add the code AND use the FLY IQ 444 settings.APK it works
Finally the NGM Legend XL has an extra option which you can enable (settings -> Sim management -> Default SIM) to direct call with the correct SIM without any popups.
So the same phone with three different versions... why o why can't I find the Legend XL ROM anywhere :crying:
These phones are based on the MediaTek MT6577 SoC right?
And most of them onlu run Android 4.0 ICS?
Maybe the versions of the MRE SDK used for these phones are older than on the newer MediaTek MT6589 / Android 4.2 phones?

In my car using Bluetooth it still doesn't work like I would like it to work unfortunately.
When Voice call dialing has been set to a specific SIM instead of on Always ask, dialing a number will always go over that specific SIM, even when dialing a contact that's bound to the other SIM.
Fortunately most calls I make in the car are work related, so no real biggy. But too bad it's not quite optimal.

Can any one please provide a sime managrment app so that i can port it to my device ....plz

It's not really a sim management app. I's more like integrated in the settings.apk, phone.apk and contacts.apk (for mediatek based devices) oh and a few lines in the build.prop
Freelander PX2 - SIM won't activate (no network)
Hi,
First, thanks for your explanation.
My tablet (Freelander PX2 with Android 4.2.1 with Kernel 3.4.5) sees my SIM card when I put it inside the slot (both of them, the one or the other).
It says "No SIM card inserted in slot 2" when I put a SIM in the first one.
But I can't make phone calls: there is no network signal and when I activate the SIM in Parameters>SIM management>SIM 1, and nothing happens when I click on "Unlock" when he ask for it.
As you say, the tablet is always in dual active mode (both sims work at the same time because there is two empty network signals in the notification bar).
Please, what should I do? I plan to use only one SIM (the 3G) for the moment.
Thanks,
Nick

when you have 2 sim cards in 1 phone and both have internet data flat
..is there a hack to activate both line for data - merge the speed
combine )? do you understand me i want double speed :silly:
Hi, i do have a problem with my dual sim management in a Lenovo A800...
My SIM1 slot is the 3G card, while SIM2 slot is the phone/sms card...The problem is that whenever ia am uding actively the 3g, not in a standby mode, i am losing calls in the second sim...
Is there any way to change thiw?? for example to make the second SIM as the default one??
If contact association/ binding doens’t work the way you want it, check out the app “SIM Selector”. I must say it wasn’t first mentioned by me, but by Zimtsäure in this post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44478879&postcount=83
On my Allview P6 Stony the app also seems to work fine with my carkit. Finally my car dials the number with the right SIM. (Still testing though, but first results look good)
@nick_highj: Seeing two network signals doesn’t mean the phone is dual active.
Dual active is being able to actually use both SIMS at the same time. Like having a call on hold on SIM1 and taking a call on SIM2. In dual passive phones you also see two network indicators, but once you use a SIM the other SIM will switch to voice mail or unreachable.
@ctzulu: This would only be possible on a dual active phone which supports two 3G connections. I think it’s a hardware thing not software. Having a faster provider would be an easier solution.
@morrison100: Strange. Based on the dual active – passive thing I’d say if a call comes in you’d loose the 3g connection. Not the other way around. Like calls have higher priority than data. At least that’s how it works on my Allview P6 Stony. Although I never heard of it your device might have a setting to indicate priority between data or phone.
I think I figured it out, there is a tick box under the "more" tab on wireless and networks menu, where I should have checked the GPRS transfer prefer mode to be Call prefer. If not checked, its getting greyish, and changes to data prefer.
so is there no way that a dual standby phone can be used as a dual active phone? i know its a stupid post but i think that the difference shud be just software related and not hardware related
Hi All
Dont know how many of us use dual sim phones on hear, or how you use it.
I like to give different people different numbers.
I had an app dual sim selector pro working on my s9 but it doesn't work on my S10, I was able to dial a number the app would ask me to select which sim I wanted to use and the next time I dialed the number it would automatically use the same sim.
Dose anyone know of a similar app
Thanks in ad
The built in dialer already does this, it will save the number with the sim icon on the left, if you want to change the default just tap the 3 dots and select call with sim 1|2
I'm also interested since "dual sim selector pro" has been discontinued.
The app provided additional benefits such as assigning a default sim to account. So all numbers in my work account use my work sim, and all numbers in my google account use my own sim.

Hi maddow
I found that by downloading the apk and installing it it still works as before
Why was dual Sim selector pro app discontinued? Why does it consume battery? I can't put it to sleep because it won't work when I needed it to decide for me which Sim to use. I also have a corporate Sim and a personal Sim.
FYI, I found that this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steffen_b.multisimselector&hl=nl
Now does about the same as the old "dual sim selector pro"
