[Q] Android Dual-sim: auto set which sim to use - General Questions and Answers

Is it possible in a dual sim phone to set which sim it will use in a contact based way? I mean, when I call "Home" it should automatically use Sim2, when I call Job it will automatically use Sim1, and so on?
Because as far as I know most dual-sim popups a menu asking which sim to use everytime you make a phone call.

Hello, anybody there?

Should be possible

Hi ,
NGM mobile has that option.
See their manual on ngm-mobile dot com website with extension
images/Documenti/EN/NGM%20Smart%20Dial_EN.pdf
They say to activate "associate contacts" in the Settings -> SIM setting. But on my phone the option to do that just isn't there.

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.

I am using it and no problem at all, If you insert the sim card you won't get the network bars until you enter the APN. To Enter the APN go to setting and Wireless&Networks in "More" Tab you can go Mobile networks then Access Point Names if no apn added the it will be blank,
Press the Option button which is located bottom right corner, press the option button and click on add New APN, Now you have to Enter the correct Info in the APN and save the APN after saving it you have to select the APN then it will work. You can get the APN info from you Mobile Service Provider. I hope it will Solve you Problem.

I followed the steps. Sadly once I press save. It went back to the APN list but still blank.
I tried with two sim cards from different providers. Both results are the same, once save, APN list still blank.

Should not be like this. Anyway try to reset your phone to factory setting but make sure you save your important data before you reset the phone. To do reset your phone go to setting and personal and backup & rest. I hope it solve the problem.

I bought it off rakuten. It says officially unlocked.
Is there any ways to know if it unlocked or locked?
At about page on Sim lock it just stated "-". Not sure if relevant or not.

I'm also from Malaysia and eying at this model or other Fujitsu model, mainly because of the present of IR port on many Fujitsu models. But I won't buy it here for sure. It's not popular here and imagine the cost to own it. Japan or China markets are good way to start. :good:
Just bought this phone here in Japan to swap my SGS III alpha. I am using SoftBank's Black (iPhone) SIM Card after unlocked it. The problem is that I could not connected to the network (Internet) even I already set the APN (using smile.world), I used this setting with my SGS III alpha and had no problems in network. But, this phone seems it is not connected. Found on the Status that Mobile Network: UMTS and Mobile Network State: Disconnected.
I had searched this kind of problem on forums, webs, and chats without having any luck.
Please is there someone have any solution to solve this.
Thanks in advance...

@ari3lz: After factory unlocked this phone at Docomo shop it will noted Sim Unlock below Sim Lock, not the mark (-) as showed on your screenshot. It also needs to put Docomo Sim card into the phone just after unlocked it. It's better to ask the seller if the phone already factory unlock or not. Many sellers on internet (rakuten, Yahoo Auction, Amazon.co.jp) they will say it could be unlocked and assumed that we can unlocked it by ourselves, just like my case I bought it from Yahoo auction and I unlocked to Docomo shop.
Hi,
Please how does one enable internet on this phone?
I have added my network APN and I can use the network but I do not get any internet connection on the network.
Connection to network
I would like to thank hifi.madness for your info on how to connect Fujitsu to our service providers.
The only issue that I have is how to root it or get into Service Menu.
do you have any idea or suggestion?

[Q] Remove Dual Sim Settings

For changing settings of Dual Sim i would rather want to have a application shortcut in my launcher.
Anybody having option how to do that.

Thanks in advance

Yes i want you second sim, but i want to hide the setting option from settings. I would like the dual sim option in launcher instead, so that i can hide the option from their on need basis.
Actually i want my phone to pretend a single sim phone while as administrator configuration for secondary sim can be changed.
Well I thought you need only 1 sim well then you need to code yourself and make a XDA module. As per mine knowledge there is no module that can do so. Also no other ROM gives you this option...

Well... You can Use Gravity Box and Moto CheckBox apps to remove signal icons and other options for secondary sim when there is no SIM Card Present. However hiding only sim settings options from settings is not easy without hard coding that in a module.
Wait for lollipop it might have Multiuser option and it might have that specific part's restriction option for guest mode.
Note: To restrict settings altogether you can use Applock and Guest Mode.

[Q] D6633 automatic sim selection?

So, every time I dial a contact I need to select which sim to use. This is fine when using the dial pad, but its a bit annoying when using direct dial.
Is there any way to pre assign a sim to a specific contact or do something similar to automatic sim selection, like what Motorola has?
Thanks in advance

On stock I don't think so. I use the pixelphone pro dialer where you can select defaults for each sim.
Lolipop Dual SIM automatic selection problem
Hi, well, alternative dialers were always here - I personally use TrueDialer, which automatically detect preffered SIM based on Call history and other parameters
BUT - after upgrade to Lolipop on Xperia Z3 dual sim, this not possible anymore. Since the upgrade Truedialer and others automatically selects the right SIM but then SIM selection from the system pops up anyway . This is an annoying problem - anybody know how to fix it?
Cheers

Android Messages - No preferred SIM selected for sending SMS messages

Does anyone knows where to set the default SIM for sending SMS in HTC U11?
I am trying to use Android Messages but I can't until the default SIM is set.
When searching for solutions, it seems the way to set is via SIM Management in Settings, but our HTC U11 doesn't have this menu in Settings.

I am having the same issue on a new HTC U11+.
I will ask over in that forum as well.
I get the same problems, all the suggestion said that i need go to sim management, in this case is dual network manager.
But in dual network manager, there are only choose sim 1 or sim 2 and preferred data network, none option for sms
Same thing, looks like I can send sms from main app tho. Google messenger has same problem as stated here.
Just go to settings, search for "SIM" there will be 2 options "SIM cards" or "Preferred SIM for" choose either it will take you to SIM cards menu, underneath it will say preferred SIM for Cellular data, Calls, SMS messages, click on SMS messages and choose a SIM you will send SMS from. That is it, you can now go through Google messages setup and use it.

Agree. No option for this on U11+ either.
Having the same issue.
Looks like the performance problems for Google messages have been fixed and now we have this
Ok, I have found the setting in U11 Oreo via create widget > Activity > Setting > Sim card (see attached screenshot)
However, it is not possible to select preferred Sim card which suggest to me HTC have deliberately disabled this feature in favour of their in-app solution.

As far as I know (Android) Google Messages has never been intended for use on dual SIM devices, as Google only produces single SOM devices. This all manufacturers of dual SIM smartphones habe to develop an inbuild solution to go with. No intention by HTC actually.

Yes but not to the App as such but a service it seems. Thus it ain't present on any non Google ROM, such as an OEM ROM.

I have a LG G6 Dual sim (Android 7.0) and I have no problem using Google messenger app. I also have the HTC U11+ (Android 8.0) which has the Google messenger dual sim issue.
From adb run the following:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1

Thanks. I confirm this works.
To get current value: adb shell settings get global multi_sim_sms
Setting SIM 1 as preferred SIM: adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
Note: default value is "null"
I don't understand , so what should we do?
Thanks

Ask which sim every call?

I want to buy a double sim phone, I think about LG G5 H860N or HTC U11. Two questions:
-Whether U11 asking every call which sim-sim1 or sim2 or is possible to set call from sim1 only or sim2 only?
-for flash firmware the phone bootloader should be unlock or root?

When you dial, you can choose which SIM to dial from. Same goes for SMS.
You can also assign a name to each SIM, e.g
Work and Home.

This mean no option to setup permanently from which SIM(1 or 2) to dial from.
For flash oryginal firmware(no custom or any third party) the phone bootloder should be unlock or phone should be rooted?

Got it. That explains.
You can use the Dual Network Manager to toggle the SIMs OFF or ON. If both SIMs are on, specify which SIM mobile data to use.
