Having a quick look on the site would help you.
http://www.magic-sim.com/model.php?model=4332
Is there also a adapter where both sim cards work at the same time?
Yea I can also vouch for www.magic-sim.com
I got one for my Samsung galaxy s2 and it works well

One of the FAQs:
12. Can both SIM cards receive calls at the same time?
As mobile phones are currently only built with one transmitter and receiver, it isn’t possible to have both SIMs active at the same time. However, our ‘autoswitch’ function enables you to switch between your two SIMs at a timed interval, to notify you if you’ve missed a call, received a message, etc.
So the answer is no
The only samsung phone i know that can do this is [email protected] 222

The website says it fits but I don't trust them. I can't see how it would physically fit in a Galaxy S as the sim card slot facing the wrong way, in which it would mean the adapter orientated on the long side across and this is wider than the phones width.
Unless anyone can send a picture of their galaxy s (not II) with the magic sim fitted successfully and working I don't want to chance it. I even tried looking at market stalls that used to sell twin sim adapters in the hope I could see if one physically fitted, but they say they don't sell them anymore. Either they don't work on 3G or they have no market for them now is what they said.
£18 is a lot of money to throw if it doesn't fit/work.
Well my girlfriend has a standard galaxy S so I can check it on there for you if I get chance. Not sure I can be bothered to take pictures etc but I'm happy to confirm weather it fits and works or not.

Is it possible to autoupdate SMSC
Hi!
I have the magic sim adaptor and it works very good but I have one issue:
When I change the SIM the SMSC (message center phone number) isn't changed.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
The APN settings change automatically so I don't understand why the SMSC couldn't do the same.
maybe we have to wait... The Beginning is just been made....
idk y people buy such a bull****...where is the problem to have 2 phones with you (maybe one smartphone to surf & one just for call/sms)? best solution ever

Hey there.
I bought a Surface 2 Pro 128gb last week. Today I encounter a "big" problem: neither the touch or movement of my pen are not recognized anymore.
I've already tried to uninstall the second USB INPUT DEVICE under HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES in the Device Manager and it did not solve.
Did that happen with anyone of you guys??? Any ideas??

Have you tried the refresh?
Also somewhat obvious and I assume you have tried but best to cover anyway, you havent simply had the tip fall out of the pen have you?
Otherwise it might be time for an RMA.

If the digitizer is dead then you should be able to get the device replaced under warranty.

Not only will they replace it under warranty, but when I took my SP1 with a dead digitizer into a Microsoft store they let me pay the $200 difference and get a SP2 as a replacement.

Are you jokeing? O_O My rear camera is dead, but i need my SF for work, so i didn't consider sending it back so far (as i don't really need the cam anyways)...
Anoter problem is: i didn't buy my SF in a MS-store... Do you think i can get this offered at the online store? (as there is no Microsoft store in my country atm...)
Maybe i'll give them a call tomorrow i'll let you guys know what they said

Tell us!! What did they say???
I almost never use my phone to communicate, and I have lately accepted and embraced my creeping paranoia. So, I'm looking for a device that does what my phone does, but without the phone, GPS, or microphone.
Does such a device exist? Is it possible to physically modify a smartphone to the same effect?

With root you can disable GPS, Phone and microphone

That means someone else can enable it via software too. I'm thinking more along the lines of physically disabling those components.

You can take out from the system these stuff and then unroot your phone. So no app can still install something to the system.

I suppose you're right. I've just never seen a question quite like this. I'd follow the previous instructions of rooting and disabling.

I'm kind of fixated on this idea of doing it at the hardware level at this point - I doubt it works that way but maybe get in there with a solder gun and pull some stuff out
Removing certain physical components would be a bad idea. If the device even turns on properly, you'll likely get crashes and FCs and whatnot. Even freezing/disabling certain functions like the phone can cause problems, since the ROM expects them to work. For example, being a phone, it has to be able to make emergency calls even without a SIM or service set up.
You could, however, use a ROM that lets you deny permissions to certain things (like calls, microphone, GPS). CyanogenMod, for example, or any of the number of ROMs that incorporate this CM feature. You'll have to disable them on a per-app basis, and you should always do a back-up first just in case things go awry.
Do you think Samsung will fix Bluetooth at some point- or shell I refund this phone? It's not connecting to 50% cars currently available on the street.
mine works in every car i own perfect
I, like many people, I would imagine, only own one car, but it works perfectly with mine both on it's own and in use with Android Auto.
no issues here at all with that.
not working with BMW 2007 and 2010
No issues with BT at all.
Working fine for me as well.
I would be looking at the cars, not the phone. The BT in this phone is top notch.
This is second S8+. And the question is do Samsung fix it? There is whole Internet posts about non working Bluetooth on S8+ so no car problem.

...so blame the car. I'm not sure I understand the point of this thread. There's nothing wrong with the Bluetooth on the s8 and therefore nothing to fix on Samsung's end. What do you expect them to do about it?

If it was phone problem, it would work in zero cars.
Just accept the cars in question are just not up to scratch or do not play nice with android. Car's fault.

That does not mean it works with every car and as I said there is a lot of proved cases that is not that great. And just to add I've had no problems with S3, S4, S5 and S7Edge, and this post is not competition that it is working or not because obviously it's not for me. I was hoping someone already got some info from Samsung about it.

What I'm saying is, it's not the PHONES fault. It would be the fault of your car/radio. If it was the phones fault it wouldn't work on anything. Just because your car uses old technology, or bad technology, doesn't mean it's the phones fault.
But I'm saying and provided a link, there are other thousands people with the same problem, so you still think it is just my car(s) problem? And phone is ok? And also no problems with previous galaxys?

Search for any phone in existance and you'll find a thousand people complaining about Bluetooth for said phone without them doing any real troubleshooting to try to narrow down possible factors. Sadly, its usually down to user error, an app or setting that's been altered unknowingly by the user or the fault of the device they're trying to connect to.
I don't believe there to be a widespread problem with the s8 at this point. If I see more evidence in the future I'm happy to concede and admit that there may be a problem but right now this is just the same rehashed complaint that you get with every device these days.

Can you connect to anything via bluetooth? If you can, it's not your phone. Pretty simple answer and how to get it. If you can't connect to ONE device, they might not be compatible, that's part of technology always changing. What kind of vehicle bluetooth are you trying to connect to? Exact make and model, of either the car with built in bluetooth, or the device if it's aftermarket.

Pretty simple- it is fixed by latest Samsung update! I would say thanks for all your advice ie user error or car issue. You're the best!!!:crying:
Hi guys, i'm coming from the Moto 360 Sport, and interested in getting the Huawei Watch 2 Sport, simple because Moto crippled it after the AW 2.0 upgrade, ridiculously slow to use now.
With the Moto 360 Sport, it did have a display feature called "AnyLight ", that displays in 'any light' and i loved that.
Motorola accomplishes it by combining a traditional backlit LCD in "transmissive" display with reflective backing. Or something like that.
Anyway, I really like this feature, see screens attached.
I was wondering what the Huawei Watch 2 Sport/Classic screens look like in dim/ambient mode. Does it have this idea?
Anyone care to share some photo of this, as I've read/watched so many reviews, but cannot see what this looks like.
Thanks a lot.
Darren.
Hw2 is amoled so in ambient modes is uses much much less battery because of the black pixels being off, but this feature that you're talking about is not available in hw2, however the watch display is very sharp and shiny even in direct sun light.
also be aware that amoled screens get damaged (burn-in issue) if a pixel is on a particular color for a long time, meaning that for example on ambient mode there are numbers around the screen that are always on, this may cause those numbers to burn in the screen so even when you are in a completely different screen, you will still see those numbers! (for more info google Burn-in)
Just adding to what was already said regarding burn in. Most watch face makers that support ambient move include a feature which shifts the pixels around ever so slightly to prevent burn in. A very simple yet elegant solution to the problem.

yeah if that's as you said it would be great, I havent noticed it yet
So I just found something interesting. Under developer options > Wear Developer options there is a "force anti burn" setting. Set this up now to give it a try.

I actually forgot to check this and you are right. So stupid.
hi seems like relevant topic for my question.
are there many disadvantages to get the wifi only (non 4G) of this huawei watch 2? (i get the obvious i cant put sim card and get direct internet connection of course). for example:
will the NFC still works on the non 4G model?
how about the xda community ie root twrp and custom rom? less or more than global version?
any other important things i need to know when deciding to get wifi only or 4G?
thank you.

ah, so GPS is independent on the 4G versus assisted ie need to be connected to phone for the wifi only.
i can live with that. i dont run alot yeah lazy me.

No, GPS independent.
Live tracking = data connection for mapping run location remotely.

sorry got it mixed up. before, i thought GPS live tracking need constant internet connection and you dont want to carry your phone while jogging.
ok got it now.
also by googling i think NFC works on both model but ofcourse the wifi model will need to be connected to phone to be able to use NFC android pay for example, i assumed
