I have a Galaxy S and recently bougth a SIMORE dual SIM CARD Adapter.
It works fine but I have suggestion for someone to develop a Android App to give a better support to such devices based on SIM card ID.
1) Identify which card is running (I know there is MultiSIM but it's not working on Galaxy (at least with this Simore adpater).
2) Based on SIM Card ID change APN Settings. There is an app called APN Switcher but it only force closes on my Galaxy.
3) Maybe have an option to create a short cut to switch between SIM Cards. (that might be a little more trick since one has to know the codes from the adapter right?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

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?

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

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.

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.
Is this feasible? I am trying to export the contacts from an old SIM card using the D2G as sort of an "adapter".
Insert the SIM card, then start the Manage SIM Card app, it comes preinstalled.
«Import SIM Card» will let you import contacts from the card. You don't need to perform band unlock for this to work, although I'm not sure if it's possible to import contacts if your phone is SIM locked.

Hm. If I've never bothered to deal with the SIM card feature I would assume that my phone is still SIM locked. It is rooted though does that make a difference?
The SIM lock can only be removed by entering the unlock code. There is no way to circumvent it.
You might be able to get the contacts from the SIM if you bypass the SIM unlock screen, though.
Well, I'm not seeing a "SIM manager" application. There is an applications installed called "SIM Toolkit" which I definitely didn't install, and doesn't seem to open up any options.
The phone seems to support SIM devices.. :
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/name
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/type
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/sim_availability
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/class
Are you on 4.5.x or on 2.4.x firmware? “Manage SIM Card” appears in my app drawer on 4.5.608 and it's a stock application. I don't remember its name in 2.4.x, alas.
The app won't do anything if you don't have a SIM card installed, however. Upon inserting a SIM card and powering the device up it should ask you for the SIM unlock PIN (obtainable from VZW for free provided the phone is active, and you have been a good customer and paid all your bills on time). It won't happen if your device is in CDMA only mode; the SIM card reader is only activated in Global and GSM modes.
settings > about phone > android version = 2.3.7
I'm guessing the sim card manager is a few versions newer :-/
You're looking at Android version, not System version.
There is no official firmware for the DROID2 GLOBAL that runs Android 2.3.7. You're probably using custom firmware (CM7?), and you should refer to its developers to learn how to import contacts from the SIM card.
Most probably the contacts app supports it itself.
It doesn't seem to matter how I set the default SIM in the Dual Management settings. The SIM physically installed in slot 1 will always make the calls. If I try to set calling default to SIM 2, it still goes to SIM 1. The only way I can make calls with the other SIM card is to physically swap them. Is it supposed to work this way? If so, what is the dual SIM management settings for?
I have a FreedomPop SIM in one and a T-Mobile one in the other.
Hi
I'm working on an app to automatically manage APN settings for my company's sim card.
I got it to work on single sim phones, and on dual sim phones if the sim is in slot 1.
When the sim card is in slot 2, I get an exception stating "No permission to write APN settings"
Has anyone ran into this / has any idea of why the different behaviour from slot1 to slot2?
Thanks.
Hello,
I purchased that phone off eBay since it was listed as Dual sim, the sim tray support Sim+Sim/SD Card, but only has 1 IMEI, so inserting a sim card in the second sim slot, do nothing. I read that dual sim will be enabled with software update, but I updated software to September 1 security patch level, but nothing has changed.
Service provider software version is: SAOMC_SM-A536U1_OYM_XAA_12_0009 XAA/XAA/XAA
Maybe your card faces the wrong direction ? Contacts have to show to the outside.
Check in the settings menu 'connections->sim-card administration' if there is a (greyed out) second sim slot available and look at 'phone info->status information->IMEI-info' if there is a second slot entry with corresponding number just to be sure that there isn't a software issue.

No. There is no sim card manager settings. Sim card is inserted correctly, only one IMEI, so that's why 2nd SIM is not working
Expected that all sm-a536 devices support dual-sim. Maybe it's a restriction from your carrier or firmware since you still got the Sim+SD/Sim2 slot. Seems the us variants are a bit cut short with no unlockable bootloader ec..
Helloo!! Any progress on this? IF I install another version like the EU one, would I see the dual sim options? I can be believe the phone is hardware capable but the firmware blocks it
Hi every one !
Anyone has an idea of how to unlock the dualsim capability ? Maybe by flashing a different region/country firmware ?
Thanks !
I just checked for a software update and I got the Android 13 and UI 5 update (near 2GBs) and the dual sim capability was enabled with this update. A second IMEI appears and the 2 sim cards got both signal.
Before installing the update, I took out the SD card and placed a 2nd SIM. Don't know if that had something to do with the dual sim capability enabling.
The Dual Sim Capability is not the same as with other Samsungs. You have no option to set a SIM card as default for calls and text or always ask before making a call, and the other one as default for DATA, only as primary, and the primary is the default for everything. But with the Google phone APP I was able to set the SIM Settings to either one or always ask.
It doesn't have a separate Network Mode for secondary SIM either.

Glad I'm not alone in this. It's like pulling teeth with people convincing them there's an unlocked dual-sim us version sm-a536u1 (sm-a536uzkdxaa). Obviously Samsung is little help in this. I've removed the actual IMEI numbers for obvious reasons.
