Goodevening everyone
I have an Alcatel One Touch Star (6010d) , a dual SIM phone. IN the status bar I have 2 signal strenght icons: 1 for the first SIM and one for the second SIM. But I never use a second sim, so I am looking for a long time how to remove the second signal strength icon (sim2 icon) from the status bar. Is there anyone who knows which line I have to edit?
Greetings
My wife has this phone too, we just bought it for her, but it looks like you can not disable the second SIM which in our case will not be used.
So we have a dual sim phone, but only use one sim. It is annoying to keep seeing the SIM2 status icon which says you have no sim card inserted.
Can it be disabled?
My phone network is Orange, and therefore EE, in the UK. (for non-Brits Orange is owned by EE so I should connect to the EE network). As you can see at the bottom of the attached image my Nexus 5 is showing a weird status message for the network I'm connected to. It says
Code:
EE - @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
That's 16 @'s!
These are the places I've seen it written like that:
Lock screen
Bottom of the notification drawer (when mobile data is turned on)
On the tile in the quick setting in the notif drawer.
I'm not sure what it's meant to be saying instead of the @'s. Maybe connection type? If I go into Settings>>About Phone>>Status It correctly says EE for Network and HSPA (or whatever else) for Mobile Network Type.
I should note that it is a brand new microsim and I followed my network's instructions for changing sim. I can receive and send calls, texts and data as normal and my old sim has been deactivated. So as far as I can tell this is a purely cosmetic bug, but it's friggen annoying to look at! My previous phone (Nexus S) never had anything weird like this.
Any ideas? Is it the phone or the microsim card? I've tried restarting it with and without the sim in
I have been using my Nexus 5 for a while and I noticed something very strange. On my status bar it will show a cellular connection but I will not actually have connection. Then when I go to quick settings it will show emergency calls only only with no connection. I then need to go to airplane mode on and off to reconnect. Weird.
Any solutions?
Anyone else?

Hey there I have the same issue as well!! By any chance are you using a nano Sim card with a micro Sim card adapter as well? I am worry it is the contact between the pins??
Airplane mode
Just try to look at one of: lock screen, notification bar (after connected with WiFi), settings - APN Name, ##4636# mobile phone status.
If you can find correct mobile service provider name, it seems that your SIM card is recognized correctly. If not, try another sim card.
After it, try ##4636# select GSM Only or CDMA only, to see if it can connects. And some info shows if you are using sprint card, you should connect sprint service to provide your MEID. Search if you using sprint.
Hello! I'm in search of a signal manipulation app, if one even exists.
Why? I don't have a sim card in my phone, so I'd like to have the signal bars show me a "placebo" cellular signal strength. Is this possible to do without masking the icon?
I know that phones that have the status-bar demo mode shows the cellular signal as full/or sometimes empty, so is it possible to have an app control what signal icon is shown on it's own, so that I don't have to see the "No SIM" icon or an empty signal?
(NOTE: I have disabled the "No SIM" icon under System UI Tuner, but it doesn't feel right without cellular signal bars being there.)
Hello guys,
Now from what i know about this phone it is dual 4G and i have it enabled in developer options.
I also have volte service activated from operators on both sims, but only one sim displays the volte option and 4G icon in status bar. I have tried switching the sims and then volte/4G icon appears only for sim 2.
According to Network cell info software i have 4G/4G+ on both sims and Data Network is lte for both, so in theory both sims have volte and 4G enabled, but it displays only for one operator.
My question here is if anyone has volte/4G icons for both sims in status bar and if you can share a snip as proof.
Thanks.
Only works in Sim 2 for me, see attached screenshot.
At least you have 4G for both. Mine only shows 4G on the active data sim only.
Would appreciate if anyone posts a snip with both 4G/volte for both sims. i have a ticket opened at Huawei and want to give them an example that on how it should display.
I will show you tomorrow with 2 simms from Orange and Digi Romania.
Take in consideration that here Vodafone has VoLTE without showing a VoLTE icon on any phone. On Vodafone I can not switch off the VoLTE because is no slider/option on network menu. They activate VoLTE from their server so if I want to deactivate it I have to call them. You can verify if you are in the same situation as follow:
- keep data mobile on this sim (no WiFi).
- Network 4G
- initiate a phone call
If remains in 4G means you have VoLte activated but no icon (carrier option). If commute in 3G means you don't have VoLte activated
I will change the Vodafone Sim with Digi one to see 2 icons.
LE: Orange Romania + Digi Romania
Hi,
Ok, I can understand the volte icon is carrier dependent on Vodafone, but what about the 4G icon? For me it only shows 4G icon on the sim where I have data active only. Check attached pics.
And yes, I know about the test you mentioned and yes, it stays as 4G during a call. I know I have the option active(since for vowifi I get icons on both Orange and Vodafone) and I checked with Network Cell Info program and it says Voice Network is lte on both sims.

You have to use Tweaker for Huawei.

Apply and restart.
LE You can ask also here: https://forum.softpedia.com/topic/1148606-huawei-mate-30mate-30-pro/
Thx for the tweak tip.
@Sathelp : did you use the tweaker to get the 4G icons on both sims? Or maybe you see both because the phone is 5G model..
No, I hacked to get the VoLTE working (search for my thread) but the 4g is standard, sim one is Sky (O2) and sim 2 is EE (UK) . I have reasonable signal levels.

You must be root-user to apply changes.

And with that app what that you get?
Can I make VoLTE calls or enable the VoLTE icon in the Mate 30 Pro's internal menu?

Follow the discution from the beginning. In this case, you can enable the network icon on the second Sim.
To be honest it asks me for root also to enable 4G icon on second sim. No idea why it works for you.
It asks because some functions need that. Not this one. It is better to try it. It is easy to do it.
I found the setting to display the 4G icon on both sims with SetEdit:
isShowNetworkType to be changed to 1
Sure. The same thing, different app. No root needed?
