Dual SIM adapter

Hi all
I been reading several old threads regarding dual SIM, but none with actual information about it.
Can anyone please recommend a place in USA to buy a working dual sim adapter please?
It´s for Raphael (AT&T Fuze) device.
Thanks in advance,
Bump!
Q&A great an experienced team!
Any comments?
Thanks in advance,
Hey Orb,
I didnt think HTC phones supported dual sim, ive heard of people trying with limited success.
Thanks timmy
I have read several threads regarding some dual sims working but very old ones, so I´m wondering if anything new has benn launched and how is working?
Cheers,
I had a ghost dual-sim for my Universal and Polaris.
It required cutting the chip from each of my SIMs to fit the adapter.
To switch from SIM to SIM, you either powered the phone off and on, or engaged flight mode for 10 seconds.
The biggest problem was that it wasn't 3G/HSDPA compatible. If you tried to catch a H signal, it lost the signal and restarted from G. In the end I had to disable advanced networks in Connections.
Now if a dual-sim that works with HSDPA has come out in recent months, I'm very interested.
Thanks ZenithUK
I´m looking for more comments from members!
Orb,
I have such a dual SIM adapter in use since one year now, and it works fine. See thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389928
When I bought it, I had WM5 on my device. Upgrading the ROM made it even better:
On my Wizard with WM 6.1, the OS detects the phone card in use after booting and makes the right settings after asking if this should be done.
On my Himalaya with WM 6.5 it works, too, but does not make the settings automatically. Most likely this feature is not implemented in the ROM I use (or in WM 6.5).
No idea where to get one in the States, but it obviously has to be the "Switch on/off" type to work with WM devices. The cheap ones you get on *bay will not do the job.
Thanks a lot for your comments mate!

[Q] No 3G?

Hey fellow Nexus S users.
I Would like to get some help from you out there!
Some days ago i decided to get an internet subscription from my carrier (Telenor) and it got activated today. The thing is that it seems there is no 3G signal which is essential for going online. The strange thing is , that we got the same subscription on my mothers , kinda old Nokia phone, and she has 3G and we live in the same house.
I started to suspect there was something wrong with my Gingerbread so reinstallted the stock 2.3.4 ROM form xda. Still nothing. Did a hard reset, still nothing.
Could it be a hardware failure? ( God I hope not :/ )
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
By the way its the i9023 GRJ22 version.
Best wishes
Khemist
EDIT: Also, is there any way to force the phone to use 3G insted of GSM or something?

[Q] HTC One S, hotspot connected but no internet

Hi,
Firstly I have read similar threads for other mobiles, most notably the One X but the solutions there don't translate to my One S. i.e. the menu structures explained and headings given are not a match to mine with no obvious, to me, , alternatives.
There was also a mention of wifi tethering with a link but no description. I assume this is DL'd directly to the phone and then...?
Mine is currently running Android 4.1.1 provided by Vodafone Spain (my country), which is where the problem started. (i.e. all was well before)
The mobile shows the laptop (Dell running WinXPpro) is connected and the laptop also says it's connected to the HTC HotSpot.
However, no internet is availaible. The One S and the Dell work perfectly on other wifi networks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As a footnote, I will soon be changing to Jazztel Spain (provided via Orange Spain network), so if a solution is known for that system as well/instead I can wait/resort when the changeover happens.
TIA
T-Mobile is pretty picky about Hotspot. If you have less than 5GB 4G Unlimited, it doesn't work.
Or else, there's really somethin' wrong.

Try using your laptop when the phones screen is on. On some version of the software wifi wasn't working when the screen was off.
Many thanks for the replies folks.
In the end the answer to my problem was extremely simple.
All I had to do was change the hotspot name and password on the HTC and just follow suit on the PCs to connect. I guess, in hindsight, I really should have tried that!
Apparently (according to Vodafone tech. dept in Spain) the upgrade has be known corrupt the above data.
Easy when you know how, as always.

[Q] Bluetooth headset problems

Hello
I bought the HTC SV two weeks ago. I hooked it up to a plantronics m25 unit. This unit worked perfectly on my old samsung phone. When i'm making a call or reciving a call the voice is just crazy bad. The people i talk with just hear alot of scramble and really unclear voice from me. I tried hooking up a brand new m55 and a voyager unit, but still the same problem. Voice trough phone is perfect.Problem is just with bluetooth. Went back to the dealer and got a new phone,same issue with this one. Is this a known software bug? or maybe it's an hardware issue? Tried to hook up all the headsets to samsung and LG phones,works perfect.
hope someone got some info on this
Weird. I own an old Nokia HS-54W headset (it's maybe 6-7 years old) and i've just tried it with my SV. It works like a charm.
Do you use a custom ROM? Are you up to date with the software updates (from HTC)? What kind of SV is it - K2_U, K2_UL (standard, LTE)? Give us more information.
I have the same problem.
plantronics m18, 20, 55
I tried with stock 4.0.3, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and ViperSV
k2u
