Hi.
Is there any dual-sim adapter available to use with sensation ?
I have one sim with 3G ( free ) and the other is for normal gsm service and i would like to use both in my htc sensation. i know gmate but if i could use any adapter inside the phone , even if i have to change the carrier to use 3g its not a big problem.
just found this one :http://www.the-internet-shop.co.uk/htc-sensation-xl/78742-htc-sensation-xl-twin-dual-sim-card-adapter.html
would it work ?
Hmm what about battery life?
Sent from my HTCSensation using xda app-developers app
dual sim
funziona? dove lo si puo acquistare?
im interested to know if this works too
One sim, i have a weak battery.
Imagine 2 sims.
Some one try it!?
so no dual-sim adapter?

it works .... kind of, i got one adapter from magic sim, had to cut the 2 sims so they could fit and after some strugle to get it to get recognized by the phone i got the following :
with my normal sim with no data service it worked OK, if i tried to change to my data card i got no service, so i had to fully reboot the phone and after the boot i get data service.
With the data service ON if i tried to change to my normal sim card with NO data service with changed OK and it worked, but if i needed to get again data i needed to change to sim with data service and again reebot.
So i send it back ! realy bad mistake to send it back and ask for a refund ! they say to me that they did not get the card back , and i am now with a complete loss ! no card and no money even for the return of the card that was sent at my expense ! in my postal service provider i have information that the card left portugal , but after that it vanished !
I would NOT recomend anyone to get such card !
ok thanks, so I´ll save some money for a china-dual-sim smartphone, thanks =)

That is a good idea, a phone that isn't meant to have dual sim, would be heavy.

Hi.i got a touch cruise before 2 weeks and i face a serious problem.it loses signal from my provider all time and i must enter comm manager to enable and after disable airplane mode.sometimes it says that my sim is missing.anyone has an idea where the problem is?
I had this problem with my Orbit 1 and never did find a solution. Other SIM cards from other providers did not have the same problem. I also found that it was effected by other devices such as a transceiver that uses Tetra. I would love to know if there is a solution.
unfortunely everything i tried cannot solve the problem.i feel like i threw 800 usd into trash bin
its really a shame.i have nothing more to say

News report well i send my device to htc here in cyprus and they change me the simcardreader,as it seems that was the problem.now my mobile runs as it should.i am happy to have it again
man they work fast over there. less then a week for the repair, not bad.
When I purchased my sensation i used my old sim from my HD2.. everything worked good internet bandwidth a lil slower than what people have been posting. ~1.2mbps
last night i decided to give tmobile a call to use the new sim that came with the phone. bad mistake. now my service is verry spotty, internet keeps getting stuck with the lil up arrrow on . (next to the 4g) and i get a huge lag when trying to refresh a page and or facebook... just did a speedtest .7mbps
is there any new setting i need to configure on the phone? very dissapointed. and to top it off. tmobile is making me wait couple days till i can change back to my old sim. I dont understand why this would happen when using the sim it came with? any help and or ideas?

Are you on an older data plan? Does the data work or not at all?
EH Im upgrading two HD2 phones to the Sensation. Is there any reason I need to use a new sim? I had just planned on using my old sim cards.
OH and one of the above links says I need a 3g/4g capable sim card. I get 3g/4g fine with my current sim in my HD2 but honestly it must be 6 years old.

new sim cards come with the phone so it would be in your best interest to simply use them... a lot of people with the g2x and sensation had apn/data issues because they were using old sim cards...

Call tech, tell them to cancel your location (you'll need to power cycle). For other poster, if your sim card works, don't change it. No benefit.

If they are the SIMs that came with the HD2 then you are good. That's what I'm using & have no issues

If they're not "Android approved" plans don't be surprised when Tmobile blocks your IMEI until you "upgrade"

I probably know some of them : ) cancel location is what they call it, tech will know. It means they fully remove you from the network, letting you re register from scratch when you power cycle
Thanks I will give that a try

Hello, I purchased a galaxy tab 7 plus in Hong Kong. All work great until 2 days ago, I inserted another Sim card then it now says no Sim card. I tried with several other Sim cards but no luck, I did a factory reset, flashed with firmware from Sam mobile but still no luck, I don't know what else to do before I send it to Samsung for repair that gonna be expensive, help is greatly wanted, thank you.

Try to insert the sim card with the tablet on. Does it restart? If not are you sure you are inserting it with the correct side?
Hello, thanks for the answer, I tried all that already, anyway the Sim only fit in one position so you cannot take wrong.
The tab restarts when inserting card yes.
I tried also taking the battery out for 10 mins... Clean the head of the Sim compartment but no luck.

Just removed the back by pushing under the sd card slot then inserted a flat tool to unclip the lid, then removed the batery connector.
However i still have the issue, its driving me crazy as it is my working tool...
does the original SIM still work in it?
perhaps try flashing original & latest frimware updates for new/different modem.
I know one chinese version of tab plus has locked bootloaded dud to China's restrictions, I would not be surprised if they have locked down modem as well.
And for the heck of it you could always try Galaxy S Unlock app, to be certain you're unlocked.
Strongly suggest backing up /EFS folder (twice) just in case.
Thanks for the suggestion, I flashed the device twice already but there is only one file. Could you direct me to the files you are referring to please I'll take a look when I'm back home, thanks again.

I would try EVERYTHING else before flashing a new modem. Toggle airplane mode. disable/enable packet data, etc.
First, does the original SIM still work?
If so I would give the Galaxy S Unlock a shot for the heck of it.
These other SIMs have you tried them in other devices to either make sure they work or activate them?
did you purchase device on a SIM contract??
sim issue
The original sim does work, i have put it in other phones and it works fine, i have also tried other sim but still same issue, message still say "please insert sim card"
I have purchased the tab sim free in hk so no, no contract, it did work fine since december until 2 days ago where i input a data only sim card, when i insert sim card it does reboot, meaning it detects the card in the socket but thats it.
Concerning Galaxy S Unlock my tab is not rooted i have used only legit firmware until now so im not sure about that.
PS: looking at my phone servie status it says:
Service State: Out of service
Are you sure you havent been sold a bad or expired sim card?
Id try to give samsung customer support a call at least, they will probably tell you to send it to them anyway.
Can you try exchanging this for another one where you puchased it?
Well, i bought it during my holidays in hk but i live in norway, so... bit difficult to chage it, the sim card works just fine in other devices so it should work in tab.
I tried the galaxy s unlock and during step 1 it says error for efs backup, so either because im not rooted or because my efs is corrupted.
Probably because youre not rooted.
Im wondering if the SIM could be from a small provider which isnt recognized by the device?
It should at least dected then say something like network provider unrecognized, etc.
I really dont what to say.
I would keep trying other sims, try to get a 5$ pre pay from a major carrier like O2, 3, tmobile, etc. not sure what carriers you have over there.
Well i use Telenor which is the biggest and also quite big in europe, i will call customer service tomorrow and hear what they say, but i fear its gonna rip my pockets...

did you push the simcard all the way to the bottom of the slot?
I need a pen to push it....so I wonder if you insert your sim card properly.

yes, since the first time, repair shop said they cannot help since device has been purchased in hong kong...
No solutions until today...
Solved
After dismantling the tab completely (hard work guys...) i confirm that the sim card reader is defect, the cushions that reads the card did not press completely on it so i applied a temporary fix by adding an extra layer to thicken the card so it can press correctly on the cushions. I did try this fix before with the tablet in one piece, however i could not get it to work correctly.
Anyway thanks for your help and i'm happy that i can use it again
is it possible to use one sim for data and a 2nd sim for calls? or do you need to switch from using sim A 100% to sim B 100%?
if so, what kind of device/adapter would be able to accomplish this
TIA

I don't have any dual sim phone (I have never had one).. it just seemed like an interesting idea due to phone plans.. I currently have a note 2 - could I put in some dual sim adapter to get it to work like that?

Which is why you shouldn't purchase a non compatible phone, for use in another area?
This is why you shouldn't buy this phone from the scalpers. The chinese version does not support many of the worldwide bands that the "global" version of the phone does. My advice would be to try to sell it to someone who can use it and sign up on the OnePlus forums and wait for an invite for the CM version which supports the bands you need.
Get a new sim, sounds like an old sim that doesn't have the updated CellID info in it.
I had to change my 3 sim when I had my SGS4 as it wouldn't register because it was too old.

I had that happen to me on the interational one and felt quite dumb afterwards...
Make sure the SIM card tray is rotated DOWN so that the contacts on the sim card look to the back of the phone.
It will fit both ways (imho a very strange design choice) but with a tiny little space left when rotated the wrong way.
In other words: turn the phone on it's screen before inserting the sim card facing you.
I have _NO_ clue why the phone thinks it has a SIM card when obviously it cannot access it...
