Really? Is that a thing? I have never heard of such a thing as dual SIM causing the phone to lag or anything.
It certainly depends on your preference. As far as I know, Dual SIM phones are great since you don't have to carry multiple devices, which can be a good thing or a terrible thing. Good thing because one device, duh! Bad thing because, two connections, 1 battery. But if you are like me and don't care for carrying too many devices in your pocket, go for the dual SIM. It is great and it certainly doesn't lag.. (where'd you read that it lags?)

I use single sim. and it's fine. I never heard of the phone lagging on dual sim.
What I can say is, it's depends on what you need. If you don't want to carry multiple phones, buy the dual sim.
especially more people (at least here) uses dual sim, and also more custom roms are available for the dual sim.

Thank you dear william tanaya, I want to use one sim for general communications such as Calling, SMS and MMS... and other Sim for internet DATA. So Dual sim is necessary for me.

has anyone used or is using a Dual Sim holder in a HTC Desire, or know of one that works/fits nicely?
I currently tuck an alternative sim between the battery and the back cover but have to take the battery out etc to exchange, would like a simpler solution.
lol same as me mate..i also keep spare 8gb card behind my case too been looking into this apparently it has to be 3g compatble ones- gonna take a punt and try one from ebay-will post a link and let you know results.
apparently some folks are using on nexus 1 so shouldnt be too difficult- also hypercard are selling some at £70(well euros) but not far off. fcuk that gonna look for cheaper alt.
Any news on this dread123 as its something i was thinking about too.
Ive never had any sucess with a dual sim, i just use a super sim in my desire so i can use three sims and dont mess around with any extra bits. Just 1 sim card thats it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714903
check there..got the dual sim working perfect now
hpsda and full 3g speeds..no call dropping ...no problems at all.able to switch from sim toolkit app on phone.
I am using Hypercard V3 which works on 3G too. It only reboots after switching too my vodafone card. Switching from vodafone to O2 no Problem works without reboot. You get a SIM Toolkit Icon on the Home Screen for switching.
Thanks for the replies guys, time to do a bit of reading up

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.

How exactly does it work ??
yeah id like more info too as i should be a proud owner of a DHD hopefully if it arrives tomorrow and will be looking for some sort of dual sim option
I would like to know if it works or not.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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?
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?

U have to search for it, i am using xolo a500 it has the options in default, also i have seen similarities with most models like celkon a98, but have'nt came across the options in samsung or other such models. I think except samsun models others have such functionalities

I am about to get a new phone and I am quite lured by Moto G but the only issue is that we only have dual sim model available here in India. I don't use more than one sim, So, I just wanna know is there any difference in User Experience, ram usage, battery life and Rom development between the two models. And also is it possible to use single sim model's rom on dual sim model? Thank you very much.
I only used a normal cellphone as dual sim before, but with that the battery life was decreased big time because both sim cards had a constant connection.
Might be different on android since you might be able to change more settings than with an old cellphone, but it is definitely a danger to battery life.
The OP's question remains unanswered
The OP's question remains unanswered. Does battery life performance of a 'Dual SIM' model reduce(at least considerably, say by at least more than 1% ) compared to single SIM phone even if the second SIM slot is kept vacant?
A GSM arena comparison of Xperia E1 models (singe Vs dual Can not post the link due the forum limitation ) does show a reduction in battery life, however, they haven't mentioned whether the performance was checked with both SIM slots occupied by functional SIM cards. I've already written a query to them, would post the reply here in case I get one.
Would be great if others can share their experience on the subject. :angel:

So, the dual-sim version uses more battery in order to make the two sims work, but I think if you'll only use one sim, u can go ahead and buy the dual-sim one, after, u can convert your XT1033 into a GPE or in a XT1032

I can't find any support BOTH active 3G(WCDMA).
Thanks,
I researched it a little bit, there is no DSDA chipset that doesn't drop one sim down to 2g that I could find.
Look at linked threads here: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/m...3g-dual-card-dual-standby-mobile-5415843.html
*maybe* you'll find a model but its a long shot. Dual Standby is easy to find.

What do you mean by standby? both connect an wait for call? or sleep and disconnect from the tower?
