I'm currently using dual sims with AT&T and T-Mobile on my Z5 Dual. However, like many before have noticed, I am irritated by the fact that I can't set one SIM as default line for voice to dial automatically instead of prompting me each time. This minor annoyance intrudes into google now because I cant "voice dial" because the sim/line selection has to be pressed in order for the call to be placed. Lastly, does the regular Z5 has the big ugly Sim Card 1 Icon in the status bar? Mine has both, it takes up a ton of space and its irritatingly ugly. Come on Sony!

Xposed can remove the SIM icon.
A different dialer can fix default line, from what I understand (don't make voice calls so I don't have that problem lol)

I'd rather not unlock bl/root on a new phone so soon! The icon thing I can deal with the but dialer thing is super annoying. I'd rather not use an aftermarket dialer. On other sony dual sim phones the option exists!

Same problem for me. I haven't found a way to hide the 2 monstruous SIM icons.
The only way my phone makes my calls with sim 1 without asking me is when i call someone from my car. Opel bluetooth controller uses by default sim 1. Only solution so far is aftermarket dialer.
Let's hope they add a few options in LL update.
I use true phone dialer, you Can set a Sim by défaut. It's the only way for the moment

Nope, no SIM icon on single SIM Z5 (E6653).
Any chance that SIM icon display is configurable in Settings - Display - System icons, i.e. the same place you configure icons for battery/time/Bluetooth, etc.?
so a quick update: I upgraded to MM. Now there is an option to select which line to have as the default voice line! Also if you do the system UI tweak you can get SIM2 to dissapear. SIM1 still shows though, better than nothing!

LS,
Does anyone know of a way to remove both the SIM icons from the pull down menu of an S5 mini Duos?
Like here for the GT-I9082: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283514
(which I'm too afraid to flash on my S5 mini).
I've seen suggestions to use Xposed modules, but I can't figure out which one(s) to try...
I'm using stock 4.2.2.
Thanks in advance!
After som etrial end error, I managed to cook something up myself (see attachemnt). For use with TWRP.
It only hides the ridiculously big dual-sim-switch icons in the pulldown, leaving more space for other stuff.
Hey there, nice job!
I use the icons quite frequently but would love to make them smaller. Would you have any ideas to help?
Regards
Keliuss
Probably, if I can find time in the next 2 weeks
But out of curiosity, what do you use them for? In the phone settgs, I enabled that the phone is askimg me to use which SIM every time I make a call. Never had to use the pulldown icons again after that....
I guess the banner of the dual SIM icons can be made smaller. If I remember correctly, there are the icons with the SIM name / number beneath the icon. I think the banner itself can be made smaller, or the little icons can be removed, or the SIM name can be removed.
Tell me what you want and I'll give in a shot somewhere in the next 2 weeks...
Hey there IcyK,
Apologies for not getting back sooner but I've been too busy. First of all I'd love to know where that setting is that asks you every time which sim to use. Damned if I can find it.
Anyway I'm living between two different countries and so I switch sims fairly regularly depending on where I am. This switching doesn't bother me at all. In fact I think I'd prefer it to being asked every time I make a call. What bothers me is the amount of space the two buttons take up on the drop down menu. If Samsung had done it right there would just be a toggle button at the top with wifi etc. to toggle between sim1/sim2
I've played around with systemui.apk before (I have customised sim icons in the notification bar) but I didn't do it the proper way with flashing a zip file. I did it the easier (and clumsier) way of modifying the apk and just replacing it.
So I'd love to know which settings to mess about with to reduce the size of the sim icons
Regards
Keliuss
Hi Keliuss,
I'll try to explain how to find the setting that asks which SIM card you wanna use. I have a phone in Dutch language, so maybe the wording of the menu options can be a bit off (because of translation Dutch -> English).
It can be found by going to (Apps ->) Settings -> SIM card manager (the purple icon).
At the top, there are the 2 switches to switch the individual sIM cards on or off (making the phone operating on a single SIM )
Below that, there are three options:
- Voice call
- Video Call
- Data service network
When you tick one of them, you can choose either
- Current network
- Always Ask
- SIM 1
- SIM 2
Needless to say, you'd probably wanna select 'Always Ask' for Voice Calls
After that, when you enter a phone number, of select a number from the logging history, you're presented with the choice to use SIM 1 or SIM 2 for your call.
Could anyone tell what's the meaning of the highlighted icon and how I can get rid of it?
It's next to a speaker icon, so don't confused.
Thanks
Accidentally thanked your post...what is the icon? There is no attachment or anything.
NFC?

Have you got any other dialler apps installed? Everything stock? Is that icon always there or only when you are connected to a call
The icon is always there. There's no other dialer app installed. I have my phone for about 2 days. Uninstalled all the bloatware that came from carrier.
What variant of the S6 do you have?
If it's G920K, G920S or G920L, the icon is normal.
If you have one of the other variants (G920F or G920I), the icon has something to do with accessibility and/or hearing aid settings. I had a similar icon on my Galaxy S3.
Just got a reply from Samsung tech support. It seems it's the icon for VoLTE: voice over LTE. Nothing to be changed in settings, just a network dependent feature which enhances the quality of the voice calls
I have 2 sims installed in my phone, a USA sim and one I use when I travel. I keep the second sim disabled when I'm in the US and vice versa when travelling. The issue I'm having is with the notch, status bar icon real estate has become VERY precious so I'm perplexed as to why the inactive sim icon is always present. It's turned off, I turned it off, why do I need an icon to show me that constantly?
Is there a way to fix this that doesn't include removing the secondary sim from the phone?

hi everybody, is there a way how to see incomingcall for sim1 or sim2 when phone locked?
there is no issue when phone is unlocked. it is showing the sim information on top panel of caller screen. but when phone locked, the top panel is hidden.
You could use different ringtones

thanks for answer but this is known method. Is it possible to see it on caller screen when phone locked?
Look at the status bar at the top - Mine shows a little phone icon with either a 1 (for SIM 1) or a 2 (for SIM 2) next to it.

Hey guys,
I´m commuting between Switzerland and Germany and used OnePlus devices for years. On OnePlus you can comfortably change active SIM card with a tile in quick settings (pull down notification bar, where you´ve got WiFi, BT, GPS and so on). I´m now looking for an opportunity to quickly change SIM slots on my Moto G100 instead of struggling through menus. Any idea how to do so?
Cheers,
kischde
I'm having the same problem.

I'm having the same problem. Long pressing "data" toggle is the fastest way I've found, but I've also started using Macrodroid to automatically open the menu under condition geofence "reached work" or under contidion "No internet connection". It doesn't change the setting directly but it brings you to where it's just one tap.
1. Download NOVA LAUNCHER
2. In your homescreen, open widget picker
3. Drag Nova Launcher "activities" widget to homescreen
4. Go to Settings > Network & Internet
5. Uninstall Nova launcher. You don't need Nova launcher to keep the widget settings shortcut.

Any way to "install" that feature on generic LineageOS? OnePlus f...ed up badly with their Android 11 update, so I am back at custom rom'ing... Everything great so far, but I miss the quickly-switch-data-sim badly.
