Honor 8, lte on both sim card slots possible? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, is it possible to have 4g speed on both SIM cards on custom ROMs or is it hardware issue? On stock ROM only one sim slot can run 4g speed. Thanks.

you cannot run 4g on both sims.

Not simultaneously, but both slots support 4G separately.

You cannot use 4 on both sims at the same time.

Only very few phones have this ability.

My Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 can do it, so I was wondering if Honor 8 is the same or not. Thanks!

it not the same, but you can switch lte to 1 or 2 slot while using phone. No restart needed

Dual sim adapter

I'm considering a dual sim card adapter for a S2 I'm running wanamlite ROM.
Do I need to switch ROMs to one that supports dual sim or will the dual sim adapter work out of the box or will I need a specific app.
Advice is greatly appreciated.

Can anyone give me an insight into the above question...
Meanwhile...
I went ahead and purchased a dual sim adapter.
Had to cut the simcards 1st (to micro size), once installed only ever one sim was displayed, no options to select 2nd.
Bad sim adapter or just not compatible with s2, or I need a custom ROM that supports dualsim adapter??

I've used a few custom roms with a www.magic-sim.com dual SIM adapter before over the years which have worked fine.... although i'd maybe email them before you buy to be sure?

My phone's Model number is SM-g930FD

I couldn't find the firmware of this model on sammobile.... Can I use odin to flash SM-g930F ??
Would I brick my phone?
I have found a TWRP flash instruction , can it be applied on the model SM-G930FD??
You have a dual sim phone, i wouldn't flash a firmware from a single sim phone.
In the title it mentions fd so it should work http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770

Are you from UAE? I had this is in mind when I was buying this phone. Thought about waiting few more months for Souq and SharafDG Online to show up with the Global version(Single SIM). But decided to go with the DUOS for warranty purpose. Moreover I love TouchWiz now. How is your battery life and device temperature like? You pre-ordered?

I am from Taiwan, here, we can only get the international version, which is a dual sim card. The battery life, to be honest, not as good as other 3000mAh phone such as xioami 4,my last used phone. But with the quick charge, it almost get full charge after I plugin for 60 mins, so the battery life wont be concerned :good:

There's no custom rom yet for our s7, even the kernel isn't working well just yet. However, I've just deodexed my stock rom, I'm trying to make one simple custom (TW based) rom.

If we can flash the TWRP why can't be the ROM of the GLOBAL version(SM-G930F). Just we'll lose the Dual SIM capability, Right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
PS: I didn't buy S7 bcoz it had dual sim slots. Just bcoz I couldn't get Single SIM variant here in Dubai.

You're right. I will test it after a firmware for G930FD arrives so I have something to go back to. I too want a single sim variant only but here in the Philippines, only dual sim variant is available so I had no choice.
Hi..Long time lurker here..Just want to say something..
I got my S7 G930FD from Globe on March 14..Able to Sim Unlock it just the other day using a Paid Legit Unlock Site..But even if it's sim unlock there is still some bloat Globe had left in my phone...
To shorten my story I decided to flash a G930F rom..Specifically G930FXXU1APB6-G930FXXU1APB6-G930FOLB1APB6 that came from Samfirm.net..
All is working fine..I still have dual sim..I can both use 3G/LTE on both Sim(Not simultaneous of course)..
So I can confirm it's safe to flash Single Sim Rom to the Dual Sim Variant as long as both is F (G930F - G930FD)..

That's great news! I don't like how the messaging app shows an indication that sim 1 or 2 is being used. Was that removed after flashing G930F? Also what's your model number now? Thanks in dadvance.
Right now im not using a second sim but a microsd..Unfortunately there is still a number in the messaging app..Mine still shows 1 because im only using Sim 1..
Mine still shows SM-G930FD..

Too bad. That's what i've been trying to remove, the indication that the phone is a dual sim variant. Heck, if i can also remove the "duos" on the back of the phone i will gladly do it.
Anyway, if that is the case, doesn't that mean that there will be no official firmware to be released specifically for G930FD? Interesting.

You can change the icon in SIM Manager..I changed mine to an Envelope Icon..

Flashing single SIM software on dual sim

I've got dual SIM version 955FD and would like to flash UK EE 955F software via odin so I can take benefit of VoLte function. Is this possible and will both SIM still work?

If you were to flash, would you be requiring Root and TWRP or simply via Odin?

You can't possibly do that since many extra features will be present in the dual sim firmware than compared to the single sim firmware . Play safe :laugh:

The dual SIM variant uses the SAME firmware as the single SIM variant. You CAN flash other firmware with no problem. You will lose nothing at all.

How's your service on the F version? Are you getting VoLTE etc?

Service is fine, just as it is on my F s7 edge and note 7 FD .
I dont think VoLTE works with it out of the box but that's not overly important to me anyway nor is wifi calling etc.
Id rather lose some unimportant features that i dont care about then get stuck with a locked bootloader piece of junk device that i cant mod if I want to

Features such as, Settings/Connections/SIM CARD MANAGER which allows you to chose from one SIM or both and more. I believe the normal version does not have this section, it does not make any sense. Can you confirm?

Both 4G Volte sims

Hi Guys,
I am using a 4g+3g sim in my s7. I am planning to upgrade the 3g sim to 4g. Will both 4g sims work fine simultaneously?
Thanks
You can have data active only on one SIM. Also, no phone supports dual volte.

Thanks for replying. I am not interested in data. Can we enable 4g sims at the same time so that both can receive normal phone calls?
Well 4g does not support calling its volte that supports. As mentioned earlier no phone supports dual volte connectivity at the same time. As of now there is no phone chipset that does this.

now new update from s9 firmware brings dual4g support,seems we can do that by flashing the same csc to s7 oreo update

Yes. And it has to be an AT&T sim card. Be careful if you have substratum themes installed. Several people here experienced problems with updating if they were using that. There's a new bootloader in the update.
