[Q] Dual Sim on desire HD

Hi,
Anyone tried dual sim adapter in Desire HD ???
I want to use Dual Sim in Desire HD, need some information.
thanks

Have you tried DUO sim?

I have Ordered Duo Sim. Expect to come by next week. Just curious, if somebody has already tried.

dual sim adapter
I ordered this one http://www.mobileguru.co.uk/acatalog/Twin_SIM.html#a26 . Comunication with them is very poor. 1st one didnt work, had to get paypal intervention to get a replacement. Second one didnt work, just comes up on the screen 'INSERT SIM' Still waiting on a reply from them.
Just bought a dual sim chinese phone instead. Only use it with my worldsim while on holiday...not for a 'skank' sim

Please keep us posted on that DUO sim!!

I got a MAGICSIM 28th plus working on this. Took a little fiddling but it's working nicely now.

It was pretty simple. You cut down your sims (which is dead easy and straightforward) then insert as you would your normal sim. Then a sim tool kit menu appears which let's you manage switching of sims etc.
Working brilliantly on my Desire HD now.
One thing to bear in mind is that the MAGICSIM item comes with 2 diff metal sleeves and you need to use the thinner one with the rivets in.
Hope this helps guys!

So... no 2 sims at the SAME TIME right?

No both sims arn't active at the same time. I switch between them.

Oh... Pointless

MagicSim is the best available in the market. Rest are just crap.

They still don't allow us to have 2 sims operating at same time.
So it's pointless I need to receive and make calls on both sims!
Need two phones really...

Hmm. shame we can't have two cards same time..

this ****ed up to put a dual SIM?

why would you need 2 sim cards on a high end phone?...

Better Dont use the dual sim adapter

Why?
@Topic: do you have any issues by switching between the sim cards?
when i swap the sim on the go, in have to reenter the passwords of g-mail, facebook and twitter? do you have something similar?

Micro SIM to regular SIM card adapter?

Does anyone know if there's any kind of SIM card adapter that will work with this phone's micro SIM? I work around coal and power plants daily and I'd rather not ruin my new phone, so I'd like to be able to switch back and forth between the One X and my old Samsung Captivate. Anyone have any idea if this is possible with an adapter somewhere?

A micro sim is a micro sim.

if you use a piece of scotch tape the micro sim should fit into the captivate no problem. just set it properly over the contacts and then put the battery over it

I would be curious to hear how you guys are using this. I am carrying 2 phones, one work and one personal. Exchange on work phone. It would be nice to just carry one phone and maybe use GV for work messages.

I think the only option you have for both active is something like the Gmate or Socblue devices i've read about. They sell them on the same website but i've not used one myself

yeah S4 Chinese version is dual sim, perfect choice for 2 sim active

Absolutely, get the i9502, FTW!!!

this looks crazy awesome

Why would you go through the trouble of posting this video and asking for subscriptions when you do nothing to explain this is depth? Is the software on the phone already set up for this? How does the messaging app handle it? Is there any setup required?

do your phone have to be rooted or not to use it

I have this, 2 sim active, the only problem is it will only support GSM, data is usable, but you need to root or jailbreak for data, gmate promised a 3G version, but this was over a year ago.

Also if people are after a dual sim adapter, instead of paying the high price for the magicsim, go to ebay and get a iphone 4 or iphone 5 version for about 5-7USD, these will also work for android phone, I'm using one right now, no root is needed and supports data.
details on using it, when the dual sim adapter is connected, a icon will show up in the menu, this menu allows you to switch sim.
This is on my note 2, but all android will work.

I pass this on to friend that need this exactly. No fast data just 2 line's on one phone.

But the question is, could you use both phones at the same time with the dual sim adapter. How it works? How the phone discriminates both?

did you have to trim your sim card to fit the cards. does one card with adapter go in reg slaot and the other into extension or do both go into extension. will the extra stuff with sim inserted into sim slot damage sim slot on phone. looking at this and triple sim adapter for s4 and n3

For the adapter the main sim is the microsim that goes into the phone with one end of the adapter which goes under the microsim, the other end supports a full size sim, I actually have the ipnone 5 version so the size is slightly smaller, you should get the iphone 4 version, the fit into the sim slot on the phone will fit without any problem, as most sim sockets are made slightly thicker, about 0.1-2mm, as sim cards vary in thickness due to manufacture process.
As long as you have one microsim and one full size sim, you are ok, you do not need to alter it in anyway, if you do have different size sims like me, as shown in the photo's you can use sim adapters, data will work with either sim.
The photo's show some close shots of the adapter, even with the adapter in the slot, it is slightly loose, so I have used double sided tape as shown in the photo.

Sim Won't Read

I've got a Telus Htc One X that's been rooted, bootloader unlock and s-off'd. I installed CM 10.1 on it and it ran fine for about a week and then it quit picking up the sim card.
I've tried factory resets on both CM 10.1 and stock rooted Telus sense rom with no luck along with the acclaimed tape on the back of the sim card trick. I have also tried two other sim cards and taken the backing off the phone to give the sim holder contacts a shot of cleaner.
Warranty is out of the question, anyone have any ideas?

Seems to me like you've tried everything short of replacing the sim card tray.

I think that's where the problem may lie. I cannot find any info on replacing the sim card holder although they are readily available on Ebay.
The thick paper won't work, with the phone apart I can apply pressure to the backside of the sim holder and it does not remedy the problem.

Was worth a shot. But if your manually holding it on place I doubt replacing the tray would help

[Q] What size SIM card? Micro or Nano?

Can anyone who has actually received a Nexus 5 confirm the size of the SIM card and whether it is Micro or Nano sized?
Please don't speculate, I'd really like to hear the absolute facts. I need to know whether to order a nano-size SIM cutter ASAP because my carrier doesn't offer nano size.
Thanks!

I believe it's micro, because the only phones I'm aware that use the nano sim is the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S

It is a micro Sim confirmed many times on here.

Same as the one x

It's Micro Sim.

its micro sim just as what everybody else said.

Ok thanks folks, I'll go with Micro, which means I don't need to order a cutter.
But just as a side note, I was hoping to hear it from someone with an actual phone in their hand. I know it's been posted before (that it was Micro) but I've never heard an actual first hand account.

Moto X has a nano as well

according to the google support page on installing the sim card. (here)
Before you start using your phone, you may need to insert a micro SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” appears on the phone’s lock screen.
