[Q] dual sim auto switch 3g services to non roaming sim? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have googled a lot about this in the past few days, but came up empty. So I hope you can give me some pointers here.
I have a star x18i dual sim china-phone running gingerbread 2.3.4,rooted
I have one dutch sim with data plan for 3g in Holland and one german sim with data plan for 3g in Germany. I work in Holland and live in Germany, so I have to switch the 3g services from one sim to the other twice a day. I have to do the following steps then:
Settings / wireless & networks / mobile network / 3g service / enable 3g - choose sim
Then
Settings / sim management / data connection - choose sim
Now I'm wondering if there is any way or an app that can automatically switch 3g services and the data connection to the non-roaming sim?
Anyone?
Thanks!

[Q] Dual SIM phone roaming / not roaming question

Hi
I have a Zopo ZP950+ with Etotalk ROM, from China, it is a 5.7inch Phablet running stock JB, with Quad Core and DUAL SIM.
http://www.etotalk.com/zopo-zp950-16g_p3854.html
I am in UK, with UK SIM installed (T-Mobile), so at moment not roaming, but phone constantly tells me I am roaming.
I want to use the full 3G/HDSPA connectivity so do not want to disable data.. Under Settings/More/Mobile Networks, there are no options for roaming settings to change, though there is a "data connection - off" option, but I don't want to turn data off, and the roaming warnings are intrusive when sending texts or making calls.
If I can''t "fix" the fact that Roaming indicator is constantly on, even though phone is not roaming, can I hide the warnings every time I make a call or send a text?
Any 3rd party apps out there to help?
Thanks
While I wait for an answer, I will add this: I just tried a giffgaff SIM using O2 network, all is fine, seems to be a problem only with T-Mobile SIM, called T-Mobile they said I needed a replacement SIM card, but this SIM is fine in 2 other un locked (though not Dual SIM) handsets.

Hi there I have the same issue with my Star Note II N9599 and it too reverts to Roaming and I use Orange UKeven though its now part of EE Network UK but I did find out that the handset is actually Roaming! To check this go into Dial Pad and type *hash*hash3646633hash*hash* then goto Connectivity then down CDS Information the to Radio Information then to Phone 1 and you can see if the Sim in slot 1 is truely Roaming or Not?
I have yet to find a fix for this issue but did also stumble across my Associated Network Radio Bands as follows:
GSM MODE ( SIM TRAY 1 & 2 )
EGSM900 (selected)
DCS1800 (selected)
PCS1900 (selected)
GSM850 (selected)
UMTS MODE ( SIM TRAY 1 ONLY )
WCDMA-IMT-2000 (selected)
WCDMA-PCS-1900 (greyed out)
WCDMA-DCS-1800 (greyed out)
WCDMA-AWS-1700 (greyed out)
WCDMA-CLR-850 (selected)
WCDMA-800 (selected)
WCDMA-IMT-E-2600 (greyed out)
WCDMA-GSM-900 (greyed out)
WCDMA-1800 (greyed out)
WCDMA-1700 (greyed out)
Now at best guess I take it these settings are not correct for the U.K.
If this is so then which BANDS Do I Need and how do I go about changing the greyed out ones that I cannot select to be selected as a usable Radio Band?
I have looked as best I can on Google etc but Im all new to this and not entirely sure what to look for or how to do it if possible?
I have read other sites of users being able to change the Radio Bands for other types of Handsets so I know there must be a way?
I still have the issue where I can set my phone to Register on the Orange network and it connects and gives me 3G with Data but soon after the connection decides to reset to Roaming and drops Data unless I choose to select Data Roaming?

[Q] Choosing 2g data on dual sim moto g

Hi, I have a dual sim Moto G. I have a 3g sim and a 2g sim card.
I wish to use the 2g card for data and calls but the 3g sim for calls only.
Now I put the 3g sim in slot 1 and the 2g sim in slot 2. Now when i choose data mode for the 2g sim it changes the data network type to 3g without me choosing that option. And it changes my 3g sim to 2g network only.
I'v tried all sorts of ways but it still changes the sim network type on its own.
Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance, Ben.
P.S. yes I did search the forums first but I couldn't find any details about this issue.

In a dual sim mobile phone 3g network can be operated from one sim only so what you can do is activate 3g on the 3g sim and disable internet on it and then the only choice for 2g sim would be to stay on 2g and then you enable internet on it.
If it doesn't work try changing slots.
If I helped please hit thanks!

I have tried switching sim slots. What happens is when i select the enable data tick on the 2g sim the network type bar greys out and changes to 3g mode on its own. The only way i can change network mode is to de-select data mode and choose 2g again.
Cheers, Ben.

Please Help to force switch 3G network on SIM2 on Huawei G730-U00

I have a Huawei G730-U00 that support dual sim. But only Sim 1 supports 3G network. Is there any help to switch 3G network on Sim2 without power off and change Sim Card?

I got it now, to change 3G network without power off and changing SIM cards.

HTC U11 Dual Sim, SIM1 mobile data on, SIM2 mobile data off

Hi there
I have a U11 international Version (401) and two Sim Cards.
SIM1: with Data Plan
SIM2: no Data Plan (if i use data it's 3$/day....every day!)
My Problem is, when i connect my phone to the car over RSAP, it autmaticly switches to SIM2 and i have to pay.
I was not able to activate mobile data in SIM1 and deactivate mobile Data in SIM2. They are both on or both off.
I tried in: Settings/ more/ Data usage / SIM1 or SIM2
Any idea how i can seperate them? Is this a Firmware Bug?
Regards
+1, I have the same question. In the dual network manager I can set the "preferred" SIM card for the data connection, which is not what I want, I am looking to completely forbid the data connection with one of the SIM cards. Anybody?

The answer is coming a bit late, but for the protocol: Both SIM slots can use every network standard from 2G to 5G. You can even disable 2G and force 3G only.
