Hello,
i saw videos on youtube, that it's possible to convert the sm-g930f to an sm-g930fd by adding a second imei-number.
I can't paste the youtube link here but you can search "convert sm-g390f t smg930fd" on youtube.
Is it only with a z3x box possible like in the video? someone tried that?
I think that's impossible, isn't dual sim a hardware thngy?

Well the second SIM uses the microSD slot in the dual-sim version but I am not sure if there is a second SIM card reader and a second radio module in the 930F, but it could also be that Samsung used the same motherboard with a different firmware. A detailed picture of both motherboard could help.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/discussion-convert-dual-sim-to-single-t3350731
I can't resist but have a go.. From what I've read most of the 930s (F,W8,S,L,K) use the same hardware (which may or may not be true). All you gave to do is clone the IMEI but here you need a service tool. see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9exv5bRgWY0 . Then order a dual sim tray (mine as 99p inc postage from eBay).
of course it could be a hoax but I then again it may not
Any luck, or was it a hoax?
Can get a SM-G930F from my provider. But would like to use double lines.

After some research it would appear that to do this might be illegal in the UK so I think I won't bother. Dual sim phones come with two unique IMEI numbers and to have two sims running with the same IMEI would be inviting trouble.

That's theory, most dual sim chinese phone that you can buy come with an unique IMEI, I never saw anyone getting into trouble because of this

You mean both sims use the same IMEI? well I have until the 24th October when my dual sim tray will arrive from china to muse over the ethics and repercussions of this.
Edit:
It would appear that Dual sim phones with one IMEI number are the 'one sim working or the other' sort where as you need two IMEIs if both sims are going to be active - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/Mj86ltfLziE

My moto x play was converted to dual from single sim after flashing a dual sim capable rom. It had one IMEI and both sims were working simultaneously without problem in many EU countries.
I have not tried it with my G930F cause i do not have a double sim tray. I am eagerly waiting for your results. As far as i know, 'FD' devices have HW modem that can support two sims, while devices without 'D' have not. Once again, i am waiting for your results!

it's seem that all S7 version are dual sim capable...
I have found this tutorial.
Since i don't have a z3x box i can't try it, but maybe someone here can. If someone manage it let us know. PS: You do everything here at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any broken devices.
Thanks, will try if I feel brave enough
Any updates?
The tutorial from frkhtc is the missing link to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9exv5bRgWY0 ... I'm just waiting for that gunhoe moment where I don't care if I ruin my phone.. could come at any moment or might never come...
i would like to try it on my phone but i dont have a z3x box and don't know how to buy it. it don't seems to be easy to buy and activate it and i don't know which z3x box is compatible to the galaxy s7. i saw that i also need a smartcard for the z3x box.... i don't know how to get this all in germany

Both sims are active? What impact do it have on battery? On the youtube video tutorial someone commented that his phone has heating issues and battery drains fast.
yes boss both sims are active and working fine no issue at all i reset to factory default as well for test this method stay or goes... but its working fine
no heat up issue coz same hard ware no battery drain coz both models FD and F W8 S L K have same models with same hardware and battery...
only required Z3x box for it or pay USD 10$ for it
your phone should be root and install custom rom as i mentioned before
if in case of your software/rom corrupted your phone will be go back to single sim state if you flash with odin default file.

Anyone found a decent dual SIM adapter that works with the SGS and retains the full 3G and HSDPA network connections? I'm looking for something that can be manually switched between the SIMs without having to turn off the phone.
The only thing I can find is this but it seems very expensive:

Just got the dual sim adapter from dealextreme
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.37817
It's the Q-Power one, works in 3G for both of my sim in Australia (Optus and Telstra).
I'm using the SIMORE option (was stupid enough to spent the 65EU without checking xda!!!).
The adpter works and does what it's suppose to do. The problem I have is that it doesn't change the APN settings automatically. Now I'm looking for an application that changes APNs based on sim card ID.
Any suggestions?
The other problem I see is the scheduling option using Simore isn't that confortable. It's no possible to set an specific time for switching. You have to say the amount of time in HHMM each card will be avaliable and the settings get messed up if you switch between the cards manually.

Dual-Sim Card
Hi,
only a hint and some information for anyone who is intererested in using a dual-sim-adapter in his Galaxy I9000.
I am using the Hypercard V3 Adapter and it works very well. It workes with Eclair as well as with froyo. The adapter was first used in the SE Xperia X1 (I loved it).
The only little problem I have I descrided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946266
The switch takes nearly 30 seconds until there is radio reception. It took a time to adjust both sim-cards the the adapter, but now it works since many month.
Any Questions? Please send me a message (preferred in german, ohterwise english).
Best regards.

there are already dual sim support in android, there are already two phones available, it sold in the asian market only.
Not that users actually requires dual sim capability, and many of those who uses it are generally company executives and can afford multiple phones~
does this really work ? any youtube footage ???and where you get the adapter ? any extra software required

Do you have a picture of the thing itself and how it looks installed?
And I wonder if both telephone numbers will be available at the same time, or do you need to switch them manually every time?
you have to switch between the sim cards manually, but you can set up a automatically switch all 10, 30min etc
with all dual sim adapter you CAN'T use both sim cards at the same time, because you only have got one antenna
there's a pic (not from me):

Thanx for the fast reply.
It still could be usefull tough.
First I apologize for starting a new thread for this, since I did create a new thread earlier today on receiving my phone, but right now I have a problem.
The phone I bought is apparently an M200 and was updated to Stock ICS (according to other members on this board). Well I got off work an hour ago, and went to the T-Mobile store to open a line, but before I did, I wanted to make sure the phone would work, so they inserted an active sim card and the phone just says no sim card installed, or something in those lines. We waited about 5 minutes hoping the phone would recognize the sim card, but it didn't. Then the T-Mobile rep took the sim card out and told me that my sim card slot looks funny.
Here is the pic of the sim card slot.

The T-Mobile rep showed me a Galaxy S2 sim card slot and #2 and #3 had "prongs" but my phone doesn't.
When I tilt the phone to look "inside" the slot I do see the other two, but it looks like it's flat?
Can someone here please help me confirm that is something wrong with my sim card slot or is it software base?
Thank you!
I can only tell you what my i9020a shows, and that's all 3 prongs. I can't say for sure how the m200 is supposed to look, but I assume it would be the same.

The SIM card slot should have 3 pins on top. You might want to check whether Korean SIM cards are different, or you bought a faulty product...
I just opened mine up, the bastard thing about Samsung is the connectors of each different models have different number of pins, so you can't even switch them even if the slot seems to fit, your only chance is to solder a replacement if you know how.
Otherwise it will cost you $80 to replace it with Samsung USA out of warranty. Or buy a broken Nexus S.
Isn't this hardware guaranty (correct English??). Return it to Samsung, or to where you bought your phone!
Greetzz, Jojoost.

I just got off the phone with Samsung USA technical support. They said since my phone is an international model, they cannot support/repair it.
This sucks
Do you guys think a i9020A or i9020T sim card slot would be the same as my M200?
Most likely.
Samsung Galaxy S II (SHW-M250S)
I also have a similar - need to replace the sim card tray/slot.
Can someone advise on the best approach? Is there any good online store for this part?

I have M200 and it's the same slot you are talking about, may be its the software problem, cause when i had HTC WFS and i flashed new version of custom rom the problem was as same that no sim card so i'd change my rom and every things work fine..
I have 3 pins at upper side, 'll add some pictures when i get reach my home..
Root and try another Rom, there are official stock roms available in the development thread..

I am sorry for being late friend
Did you try different sims?
So I know people buying the device with At&t and T-Mobile in mind, however looking at specs for the Mate 8 virtually every sub model has Verizon LTE bands, ones necessary to work on the network. However, it is soley LTE compatible. So, with that being said, will this work on a pure Verizon LTE only basis? (similar to the HTC A9) Has anyone tried this just yet? I happen to be in an area where Verizon has LTE virtually everywhere I go.
Depends, do you know if Verizon rolled out VoLTE in your area?
VoLTE is in my area and the mate 8 doesn't work. Doesn't even read the SIM card? Very weird. I ordered a new SIM. Should be here today. Hopefully that will help.
I actually have a CDMA / LTE Mate 8. Not sure if it will work on Verizon. It sees Verizon's CDMA network but not Sprint, wonder if a sim card would work though.

It's the China Telecom model
http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/China
According to this China Telecom's network is really similar to Verizon. Which is probably why my phone sees Verizon cell towers but my ATT sim won't work in the phone even with it unlocked because it's stuck on CDMA / LTE. I'm not even sure if it's a software issue because even the debranded roms doesn't work. Pretty annoyed since I ordered my phone and wanted it working on ATT. It seems that the gray model of the phone is sold out everywhere expect this CDMA / LTE model. Wish I just ordered the silver model, I confirmed with the seller that the silver model is in stock and supports ATT.
I'm tempting to ask a friend with Verizon to let me test their sim card. Just for fun before I try and return this thing lol.

Yeah it takes nano sim and true I don't think Band 13 would even work if the phone had it because the IMEI has to be whitelisted or something for Band 13.
From my I understanding the only way you'd get a Mate 8 working on Verizon would be to activate a Nano Sim in another 4G LTE phone then put it into the Mate 8.

With the International Rom I got my CL00 Mate 8 this far.. if I had a Verizon sim I'd test it, this is with my ATT sim in, it refuses to do GSM / LTE only CDMA / LTE.
But it sees the towers no problem, wonder if it would work though.

Hey @Blue Viuda it would be superb if you would test your theory out for me, since I'm stuck on Verizon and really enjoy the Mate 8. You would be doing a service to the world good sir, please and thank you
Technically it works on Verizon, but they will not let you use it on their network. You would have to call Verizon and give them the ESN number of the phone for them to provision it but they will tell you no, you can't activate it with them. This is one of the reasons I dumped their a**es a few years ago. I hate everything about Verizon.

Me and @Abumarf were actually testing this earlier this week. You'd get a 4G signal but calls will not work nor will data. Sometimes after a minute or two it just says no service and never reconnects. But if you're saying it needs to be provisioned do you think CDMA Workshop could come in handy? I have provisioned many Sprint phones over to Metro and Cricket so I know what I'm doing.

Verizon is coming around on unlocked phones. I brought my Nexus 6p to them a couple of weeks ago and they added the IMEI to their whitelist and gave me a new sim and it works perfectly, even though they don't sell a 6p. The Verizon guy that did it didn't want to give the phone back because he liked it so much.
Where do you guys go to see what band your phone is using? Is there an app or is it in a menu?

Have you tried force enabling LTE via the code *#*#86583#*#* or setting the APN? Also please let me know if you get it working. Thinking of switching back to Verizon from T-Mobile to get better signal and am hoping this phone will work since the mix 2 does.
Don't you need the "high-end" 8GB RAM + 256GB storage option to have all bands including the Verizon ones?

No, if you buy global version (currently only available in Hongkong) you'll have all bands with 64gb and 128gb model too

I have the same problem on Verizon. Enable VoLTE helps. I'm hoping updates will fix that, otherwise I may have to sell this great phone. Unless someone else.has some fixes. I played with different APNs, everytip I could find, no luck. Anybody who has Verizon I'd wait till if there is a solution before buying.
After forcing Volte like mentioned above I am getting LTE and LTE+ on Verizon but if I try to send a text it fails

From what I can tell the cdma radio isn't being activated on my unit. This would explain why you get data/calls but can't send texts. I'm wondering if the global unit has cdma properly enabled.
If it helps, this is the networks I can see in my area in the US

I have the global unit too. From everything online I see the CDMA bands between the global mix2 and globlal mix2s are the same, but calls/texts do not work with VOLTE off on the mix2s, while they do on the mix2.
Either some of the bands aren't working, or there is some firmware difference preventing the mix2s from working properly on verizon.
I wonder if the dev rom will work, but I can't find any update packages to the dev rom and my bootloader is locked for another week.

How did you access a menu with ATT, Verizon, and Tmobile apns on it? I only see tmobile with my tmobile sim, and verizon with my verizon sim.
Edit: Found it under mobile networks tab w/ choose automatically unchecked
I'm new here.
One of my friend brought me a mi mix 2s 64 Go from China. It works perfectly on verizon.
As I'm not a specialist and wanted the global rom (and i'm a mac user...), I bought on ebay a 128 Go global one. I've just received it and impossible to have a connection to Verizon network!!!! It drives me crazy!!!!

Since he bought a 64gb model in China it has to be the Chinese version (or did he buy it in Hongkong?). Because the 64gb model must be a Chinese model the connection issue must be somewhere else... Are your apn settings correct? You should have just waited a little bit and flash global rom on your own, as soon as a fastboot rom is available it's done in 10 minutes
Not even connecting to the cellular network
So I've just bought a new Mi Mix 2S from gearbest and am having trouble connecting to Verizon in any capacity.
The first and largest problem (at least in my opinion) is that the phone shows no signal at all with the Verizon sim. It just shows unfilled signal bars with an 'x' next to it.
Second is that it appears as though I am not allowed to change the MCC or the MNC. This appears to be the case as when I try to complete this operation, the apn I am editing or creating either gets removed or does not save.
Got any advice?

I used a pre-existing sim/plan. I popped the Sim out of my axon 7 and just put it directly into the mi mix 2S. And for what it's worth, the axon 7 has had no Verizon connectivity issues for the better part of the past two years.
Should I just go to the Verizon store bad have tech support try to help?

I think that's your best option to see what they say, I'm from the UK so I don't have too much knowledge on Verizon themselves, BUT I do know (think I know lol) if you use a device not from them directly, you need to be using a pre-existing SIM/plan

Does anyone think that future miui updates will imporve Verizon comparability?

So, I've read in several places the US N20U has eSIM. I see the eSIM control app is in stalled. But that's all I see of it. Even an article here on XDA says all N20Us have eSIM except Japan, Korea and China. Can anyone confirm? And if so, how? (I've never used eSIM)
Same here, I can't find it. I thought it will have an esim. This is an important feature for me.

Probably as with the S20, It has eSim but it is not enabled. Apparently the US carriers wanted it disabled.
i have esim and worked. German T-mobile
This is brilliant, i just googled about it and my telecom provider in India just started to support esim this year. So finally i can use dual sim and SD card together without carrying an extra phone.
eSIM is CSC feature, In case it is disable then two possibilities to enable
1.If device is non rooted - Try changing one of available CSC that have it enabled
2.In case device is rooted you need a line to add/edit below line
Code:
<CscFeature_RIL_SupportEsim>TRUE</CscFeature_RIL_SupportEsim>
interesting because my Snapdragon/ATT Note20 Ultra 5G lists 2 IMEI numbers on the box and the phone; however, a second nano-sim will not fit in the location the microsd uses.

Thank you Doc. It is crazy that Samsung has been saying they have to "enable this feature via software update" for S20 series in USA, when all they have to do is enable this one line in CSC file and push an update. ?
Apparently they have not enabled it for Note either. Apple/Google have no problems enabling eSIM so I don't get what is the deal with Samsung.

The second IMEI is for the eSIM which is like a virtual SIM. The phone will not take two nano SIM cards, it would only have one nano SIM and one microSD card but if Samsung enables eSIM functionality then you can activate eSIM as 2nd SIM card.
So you don't see this in Settings > Connections > Sim Card Manager?

I have earlier posted on xda and now really worrying
When i was digging over firmware, Surprisingly most of countries (in oxm) now mentioned under "single" in csc partition (now it is called "optics" including INS
So that means they consider e SIM as second sim and not possible to use two physical sim?
Yet I haven't recieved device so can't confirm this.
I live in Europe in two different countries, so I have two fysical nano SIMS installed.
Changing my Voda NL ABO in Esim will not work because they told me that my separate data only card (which I have with no extra abo costs) in my Tablet will not work any more.
But question:
If I already have two NANO cards installed and add an extra Esim. will it work?
Can I use three SIMS together?

A phone having two IMEI's cannot have 3 networks. So it should be limited to two only.

Saw an article where someone tried two nanosims and esim together. So technically only two work at a time, you will have to disable the esim to use the second nanosim and vice versa.

?With INS CSC, having August's "ATH3" build:
2 physical SIMs installed and if you try to add eSIM, it'll disable the 2nd network to replace it with the eSIM.

Yeah but it clarifies that 2 physical SIMs are very much possible with INS and putting it under "single" might be related to something else.

Could it be because Samsung still makes dual SiM variants of their devices and having e-SiM active would cannibalize their own sales? Just thinking out loud here.

ESIM was not enabled upto N10, S20 it was enabled but still not activated on Indian firmware. (but still work's after changing csc)
On N20 it's already available.
