[Q] Moto G Removing Dual Sim icon - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
It's not like a I'm a noob or something..I did own a Galaxy Ace previous and I have surely done a lot of experiments on it.
So,I just got a Moto G XT1033 from India (That's where I live).So it was like I was forced to buy the Dual SIM edition as there is no Single SIM edition available.
So I wanted to know if you could remove that 2nd SIM Icon on top by any way without rooting ?
I don't wanna root my phone soo soon maybe after a few months.
Thank you !

Just curious . Is the single SIM variant better than a dual SIM variant in any way ? I would think other way around

It's totally similar.
But yeah if you use both the sim slots..there would be a great battery consumption.That's like a obvious in almost every dual-sim device.

So, Enjoy your dual Sim even if you use only one for now. Why even bother with the query?

I saw a previous post that said to put your SIM into 2nd slot and then switch aeroplane mode on and off. It would hide the dual SIM status

Simply flash the single sim stock firmware. Did it on mine instead of rooting just to hide an unwanted icon for "design" purposes.

There is no other way other than rooting. Personally I changed mine not only for the icon's sake but also for the freakin' updates that took nearly 3 weeks to arrive in the dual sim variant in Brazil after the single sim started. Up to you buddy.

Thanks a lot bro.
I think I'm just gonna leave it that way.
Couz I don't wanna root my phone so soon.
Maybe few months later.
Thanks anyway

To those who want to try my primitive method:
Step 1 -Insert your one and only SIM card in 2nd slot.
Step 2 - Power ON and switch ON the Airplane mode then OFF Airplane mode back.
Step 3 - Walla! 1st SIM icon should be disappear.
Note:
* If you ON WiFi the 1st SIM icon will be back but just ON Mobile Data will be OK.
** You can repeat Step 2 to make it disappear again after OFF WiFi.

There's no need for a custom rom, simply flash the stock XT1032 and it works wonders.

It worked perfectly for me at first even with WiFi but after I restarted the phone it won't work...

is it only for Moto G?

Few questions about Moto G XT1033 Dual Sim?

Hi everyone,
I am going to buy Moto G soon and interested in single sim variant XT1032 but unfortunately it is not available in my country, the one available here are only XT1033 dual sim variant. I have not much choice other then to buy dual sim
So, I just need some info from XT1033 owners before pulling the trigger:
I read some where that some of the Gravity Box and Xposed Framework functions are not 100% functional or compatible with dual sim variant? Is that true?
Can we install a single sim rom on the dual sim version and basically make the dual sim a single sim phone? I will be OK if the 2nd sim do not work with single sim rom since I am not interested in 2nd sim + any single sim custom rom like CM e.g will work with dual sim one?
If the single sim firmware/rom works on dual sim variant? I think Gravity Box and Xposed Framework functions will be 100% compatible and functional with that? Correct me if I am wrong?
Any other thing you guys want to let me know about dual sim related?
That's all the questions I have right now in my mind.
Your feedback will be much appreciated and thanks everyone in advance.

Yes it does work with only one sim active, but there will be a lot of bugs incl. FC for certain apps and system UI. Test these ROMs for yourself.
Yes for everything you asked, I am currently running a XT1032 firmware on mine and it's perfect.

It does not happen on all ROMs. But a few like Carbon ROM, the System UI Force closes, making it almost impossible to use the phone. I have not experienced any force closes for apps, but few of the members have.
You will have to ask other dual sim users for that. Or just skim through the ROM's forum and see if any user mentions anything about dual sim.

Yes, yes and yes! I was in the same boat as you, i.e. unavailability of single SIM variant (my case was slightly different though, but not related to your queries). You can turn your phone into XT1032 without any problem. In fact, its basically XT1032 with the options to install 2nd SIM if needed thanks to the possibilities we've. With these things in mind the dual-SIM variant seems more logical choice.

I've used CM11 when I was on XT1033 ROM and it worked like a champ. Haven't tried it since I flashed single SIM ROM though, I'm currently on Google Play Edition ROM and before that I had Retail UK ROM. Might also give a shot to CM11 as well once it reaches in stable phase.

YES. In order to turn your XT1033 into makeshift XT1032 you'll have to unlock your bootloader meaning voiding your warranty; if it's a big deal to you then beware. Also, I'm not too sure whether you need to unlock the bootloader though, but considering the benefits it offers and too many restrictions it has you'll have to unlock it anyway.
Dual sim.Because it is more practice than you carry 2 devices at the same time.

Thanks buddy. I have one more question hope you would answer that too.
Today I was using a friend qmobile A900 which has 1GB ram. I tried different launchers on that and we got +100mb ram left around. It was working fine I didn't saw much lag but I noticed slight delays. It was on 4.2.1 OS
So my question is 1GB ram on moto g is enough? It will handle all the launchers and other tasks good enough? Have u ever felt that you need more ram?

Absolutely not. I've tons of apps running with Google Now launcher and I still get 350MB+ MB left (even on 4.3 JB), I get the same even while using Nova Launcher.

The thing is, these phones built by reputed manufactures utilize memory very efficiently compared to those built by let's say your local manufacture.

Damn I can see the difference between both phones now. Even that A900 have something 900 or 927mb memory. Nvm I am going for Moto G

forgive me if I am asking a stupid question but I really need to confirm..
you had an xt1033 and u installed xt1032 firmware on it and it really worked like a single sim..??
and then did you have any bugs while installing roms made for the single sim version.??
Actually I am also considering moto g as my next choice but only dual sim variant is available here.
To make things simple:
Flashing the XT1032 (Single SIM) Motorola Stock Firmware on XT1033 should work fine and you will have no bugs.
Flashing a Custom ROM can cause you to experience many bugs.​
I suggest you stay with Stock Firmware for some time to begin with, and then you will have a better perspective on how well the Custom ROMs do or do not work.

[GUIDE] Switch 3G on both sims on MTK devices

Guys, how does it feel to always be forced to change the sim slots to use 3g in a sim?
Too tiresome, isn't it? Who has time to power off the phone and remove sim from slot 2 and then put it in slot 1 :silly:
Not everyone has Moto G!
Some people already know this trick but there is no thread for others to follow, so this guide will help a lot of android users.
*Mostly works only on Chinese based custom roms.*
So here's my guide which will enable this

}
Step 1: Dial *#*#4636#*#*. This should open up this
Step 2: Select first option - Phone Information.
Step 3: Scroll down and select the GSM only option. Mostly it would be WCDMA preferred as default for many people. Selecting that would open up drop down list box like this
Step 4: Now first press Refresh then click Update and you're done.
Now go and manage your 3G services to manage 3G activation in any sim. :victory:
Don't copy paste this in other threads. If you wanna share then just link others to this thread. Piracy is for noobs.

Actually the whole idea of your Thread is Wrong! Man... If U Want #G Service on both Sim, then u must MOD the Phone.apk & Also the Settings.apk and put the 3GModemSwitch Patches in the smali source! What you did is really awkward! This does not make any sense! This wouldnt Work if Your Phone.apk & Settings.apk isnt patched Properly

You see most of the custom roms are already patched but what they lack is actually the option to choose the sims.
What's the use of patching in which you can't select the sims? Doing this will enable the switching option and as per the reply here and on FB, it's working quite well.
Actually bro when we create a custom Rom.. we actually add more & more features! but its upto the developer of the rom if he wants to add dual 3 G and patch the 3gmodemswitch... because its quite difficult! And no such guide on xda about how to do it! So what's the use of this if there is no patched 3gswitch?? this works only on the ones that are already working fine.. lol

There are 10 custom roms for my current device (iris 405) and all have this patch but NONE of the rom have that 3G switch option ANYWHERE in the rom and without following my guide they won't ever be able to enanle the option.
Anyways, the *#*#4636#*#* code does not work on the Samsung S4 Mini Duos (i9192). There seems to be no option to enter the Service mode menu.

Indicator in lockscreen is ok. Only in Quick Setting and in Setting it show u which Sim online. That much more than 4.3 and 4.4.2 have to use software to move second icon Sim2.

Really a big Q, because Android L may come or may be not for Moto G..
I have 2 Moto G so rooted one.. for another will wait till release of L..
But even when you root.. i am hopeful our Dev will provide a better Custom ROM then L version..
So go ahead.. Just take care of warranty concern...

Umm..just had a look at the notification bar.. I guess, i my phone , in dual sim mode, it doesn't show the signal strength like that. it comes side by side..
No updates yet

That is because I'm on Reliance CDMA. It shows a separate signal for 1x and EvDO.. Also, I don't even use the dual SIM.. I just use it with one..
Hi guys
I just updated from 1.26.720.5 to 1.26.720.6 today
I can confirm that my sys r/w boot.img works on the latest update, so you all can use it too for perfect root !
As per improvements i haven't noticed much other than the USSD code problem.
I use to have a problem with sim 2 before the update.
Whenever i try to check balance on sim2 (airtel) using *123# i use to get error , BUT after the latest update it is fixed.
Njoy!

Your current firmware is probably 1.25.720.3. That's why. I guess we need to go to SVC to get it updated. -_-

One of my friends went to the service center and spoke to HTC Support as well and he was told that there are no updates over 1.25.720.3.. Isn't that strange!

It's not really, from what I know, it also depends on the availability of the latest software with them, which needs to be coordinated beforehand. In any case, I'll be finding out soon at the Bangalore SVC, since the Kolkata one didn't have the 1.26.720.5 too. I want my phone to be up to date. They are not even pushing out OTA. This is bull****, I'll create a ruckus if they say no update is available. :/

But then HTC Support should at least have this info. They don't.

He has got the Update because he Using reliance CDMA. This update should be carrier based update. .. and hope that's others didn't receive...
It isn't carrier based. My phone was on a newer firmware to begin with. I didn't buy it from the carrier anyway.
Lollipop update corrupted
On my HTC E8 dual SIM Indian phone (bought from Flipkart at 32k), I checked for update and got 1.25.720.5. After updating successfully, checked again and updated 1.25.720.6 too. The next check said Lollipop update 2.33.720.3 (863.75 MB) available. Ever since then (yesterday), I've downloaded the update three times unsuccessfully. After completion, which sometimes takes 6-8 hours, it says the update file is corrupted, and to download again. I started the download for fourth time.
Question: Anyone else facing/faced similar problem? What's the remedy?
I have done NO software tweaks on my phone since purchase.
Thanks in advance.

4G doesn't work on my nexus 5

hi guys, hope you are fine.
the problem is the 4G doesn't work on my nexus 5, if i go to network settings i found that the LTE is active, the carrier network which i use, supports the 4G, and 4G coverage available, and the 4G bands are 1800 MHz and 800Mhz are supported by the phone and the carrier, but i only got the letter H ( mean 3G ), i took my phone to a technical and he said me that my phone needs a flash (ROM), but he said me that currently he haven't the ROM.
i hope that you can help me to make the 4G works on my nexus 5.
Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem but mine only connects to edge .. I called T_mobile and they gave me updated APN settings but nothing works ... Maybe it will for you. Contact your carrier and ask for the apn settings

thanks friend for your reply, the problem is not on apn settings because when i put the same apn settings on another phone supports 4G it's works, it's mean that the problem is not on the apn settings

yes friend i have tried before, and it's works on note 3 and phones that's supports 4G
Same problem here
I have the same problem, it is very frustrating.
The phone manages to connect to 4G, but there must be something missing as I don't get any data, sms or phone calls. There usually is a '!' next to the reception bars, it delivers nothing and I end up forcing it back down to 3G when it doesn't do it on it's own.
I am in Australia, and recently moved to a plan with 4G on the Vodafone network. The N5 should cover all those bands and the device is known to work well in these conditions.
I have always been running stock Android and have the same baseband version and build number than the OP. Same result on Android 6.0 and 6.0.1
The SIM delivers 4G with no problems when put in an iPhone 5. There is good coverage where I am.
Who to talk to?
