Single Sim to double Sim Mod? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have an L09 mate 8 model and was wondering if I flash a L29 Rom on my phone if I will get dual Sim capabilities? My L09 does have the dual Sim tray so physically there is no issue. Has anyone tried this? Any imput would be really appreciated.

i guess it would depend on whether or not the mainboard of the L09 actually sports the necessary contacts for the second SIM...

Is MHA-AL00 DSDA?

Hi. I know that international model MHA-L29 is DSDS (dual sim dual standby).
Could anyone (who has MHA-AL00) make test and call self from primary sim to second?
To clear test you should be on chinese stock rom.
P.s. Additionally, could you make screenshot of SIM Settings?
Hi, a quick test shows it's DSDS.

The L14 and L04 Honor 8s are not dual Sim, they only use the same sim trays as the dual Sim versions. One Sim and one micro SD card and be used. No you can't use a firmware which supports dual Sim to install and active dual Sim mode..
As for the frequency bands you need to check with the American and Indian Honor 8 and see which frequency are being used.. Just check on Honor America and Honor Indian homepages
Thanks. Many sites mention FRD-L14 premium dual sim phone specification, so wonder to activate dual sim.

Band 40 (2300) is missing in L14 usa version. Can I activate this band ?? And if I want to activate VOLTE capabilities, chipset used by honor 8 is listed in supported VOLTE service.

Once again you can't activate bands if they are not embedded into the radio components. As for VoLTE the is network and device dependant. So once again you have to see if you have a 4G Sim card, your service provider support it and your device...

HTC U11 dual sim full active?

Just wonder if the dual sim model is a dual full active like HTC M7, Desire 600/700 Huawei Mate8/P9 which you don't need to do a forward call the second sim when you are on call for the first sim?
Can anyone confirm this?

Dual sim or not?

Hi,
I preordered a sim-only p20 from carphonewarehouse in the UK. Everywhere it says it's a dual sim phone as standard, but have heard contradicting things on posts online.
If you received yours in the UK, is it dualsim or not?
many thanks

Hi,
I pre-order mine in O2 (UK) as they were one of two reselers that supposed to have dual sim version (second was Three), that was at least according to oficial uk huawei site, when you could pick color version: single/dual sim and then list of reselers appeared.
Today I got mine and it is a single sim, even they have ensured my it is dual, I have opened the box at home to see that sim tray has only one slot, second one is kinda blocked.
My model: EML-L09
FCC ID: QISEML-L09
I have checked in the settings if that's only the sim tray that I need to change to dual sim, however there is no option at all regarding dual sim, as I have in my dual sim huawei nova, so software also doesn't support it in this version.
Going to return it tomorrow, or replace with dual sim, if they have it.

It will be surely single SIM from cpw, Voda, EE, 3, O2 etc , dual SIM are only if you buy from Huawei direct and from some other retailer

Received mine yesterday from CPW UK and it is only single SIM card.
Three UK are dual sim models
I'll get mine tomorrow, will return if single sim straight away.
unless there is an adapter one could buy to make it dual SIM
Does anybody know if the model EML-L09 is the single or dual sim model?
I'd rather leave it wrapped unless it was the dual sim model.
Many thanks

As far as I know, only Three in the UK sell the dual SIM version. Their prices are higher than all other providers, but I wanted the dual SIM so went with Three. My model is L29
Singke/dual SIM...

I think only L29 is dual sim. That's mine...
Today after 2 weeks! I have received oficial reply from Huawei, how to distinguish which one is dual sim:
"Regarding you question, please be informed that on the original box of the devices you can found two IMEI numbers (the number has 15 digits and it starts with 86). If they appear on the box means that the device is dual SIM."
Cheers
Can anyone confirm the difference between the l-09 and l-29 in terms of uk useability? Will both work fine on all uk networks or is one a global/non global version etc that will only work in some countries.
Not bothered about single/dual sim atall- is that the only difference?
Thanks

Dual SIM

I'm looking to buy a new active dual sim phone. OnePlus is my first option, but I can't find any solid answer if OnePlus 8 has active dual sim capability in the US. I had a 6 and a 7 Pro and both had active dual sim. Did that change with the 8? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Single SIM slot here: OnePlus 8 IN2015
Dual sim working here. IN2013.
They claim it will be enabled in a future update, its been nearly 4 months. There is absolutely no reason for this in general and if there is a method to bypass this, i'd love to know. Bought it right from oneplus too.
i have in2010 chinese model dual sim does work in 4g however when i enable 5g it won't work until i disable sim2 and it only work in sim1 sadly
Thank you all for the replies. Much appreciated!
