Hi All,
This will be my first dual sim phone so was curious if anybody has been using this on the HTC U11+? Hopefully will get it the end of this week (if they stick with UK release time scale) so just have a few questions for this device.
Does it really kill the battery?
Does it support taking calls/texts on both sims?
I'm assuming you have to pick which sim to use data from?
Any other comments are most welcome.

Hi
I am using this fantastic phone since a couple of months. It's amazing. Good choice.
Back to your questions:
- No, it doesn't kill the ? Battery
- yes, it's a active dual SIM and support both options
- Yes, you can choose your preferred Data SIM
Really good choice. The phone has recieved an 600Mb update early this morning. It's perfect.

Hi guys,
Am thinking about getting one of these :- http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=14
Anyone got one already?
Does it work well?
How do you switch from one sim to the other?
Thanks! All help appreciated. :roll:
I use it all the time i did a review at
http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2444&highlight=dual+sim+card
works brill everytime turn it off then turn it back on up comes other sim card
Thanks for dual sim revue
Thanks Jim,
I was just about to buy this dual sim, when I checked the forum & saw your revue. The crucial bit was where you have to divert to receive! As I work most of the year touring through 12-13 countries a week, this would not work as one sim is work & other is mine. this would mean that I would have to pay the bulk of any incoming work calls when my sim was on. And work would have to pay for mine when it was on.
So it looks like it's back to 2 phones, 2 kits, 2 chargers etc.
Ain't technology wonderful! :roll: :lol:
I use this all the time and the good thing is that you can switch between sims without turning your phone off - all you do is turn off flight mode and turn it on again.
Hi,
Anyone tried dual sim adapter in Desire HD ???
I want to use Dual Sim in Desire HD, need some information.
thanks
Have you tried DUO sim?
I have Ordered Duo Sim. Expect to come by next week. Just curious, if somebody has already tried.
dual sim adapter
I ordered this one http://www.mobileguru.co.uk/acatalog/Twin_SIM.html#a26 . Comunication with them is very poor. 1st one didnt work, had to get paypal intervention to get a replacement. Second one didnt work, just comes up on the screen 'INSERT SIM' Still waiting on a reply from them.
Just bought a dual sim chinese phone instead. Only use it with my worldsim while on holiday...not for a 'skank' sim
Please keep us posted on that DUO sim!!
I got a MAGICSIM 28th plus working on this. Took a little fiddling but it's working nicely now.

How exactly does it work ??
yeah id like more info too as i should be a proud owner of a DHD hopefully if it arrives tomorrow and will be looking for some sort of dual sim option
I would like to know if it works or not.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
It was pretty simple. You cut down your sims (which is dead easy and straightforward) then insert as you would your normal sim. Then a sim tool kit menu appears which let's you manage switching of sims etc.
Working brilliantly on my Desire HD now.
One thing to bear in mind is that the MAGICSIM item comes with 2 diff metal sleeves and you need to use the thinner one with the rivets in.
Hope this helps guys!
So... no 2 sims at the SAME TIME right?
No both sims arn't active at the same time. I switch between them.
Oh... Pointless

MagicSim is the best available in the market. Rest are just crap.
They still don't allow us to have 2 sims operating at same time.
So it's pointless I need to receive and make calls on both sims!
Need two phones really...
Hmm. shame we can't have two cards same time..
this ****ed up to put a dual SIM?
why would you need 2 sim cards on a high end phone?...
Better Dont use the dual sim adapter

Why?
@Topic: do you have any issues by switching between the sim cards?
when i swap the sim on the go, in have to reenter the passwords of g-mail, facebook and twitter? do you have something similar?
Am about to buy a Note 10.1 in the next coming weeks and wanted to get an indication on which variant is getting the most XDA developer support. My preference is for the N8000 but it's not available directly in the UK or US so am concerned that no ROM development will take place for it.
Which variant do you think will become / is most popular with the developers?
So far it seems the n8000 has the most dev, as far as i know.
Not by a lot though, just buy whichever one suits your needs better
Sent from my HTC Glacier running CM7
Yep, I think I'll go with the N8000. Just need to check the US networks to make sure the 3G/HSDPA will work properly there.
All the version with respect to hardware are the same except for the voice data services being absent in some versions and limited in some, I do not see how an 800 rom will not work will not work with other versions though I may be wrong as I am not an expert.
It will however you might find you have battery drain as an 8000 rom will be searching for asim card and network... You might also have an annoying notification popping up all the time telling you that no sim card is installed....
yes that will be the case as there is no way you can disable sim services and secondly its an annoying thing that when you remove a sim it will show that notification and there no way to stop it the funny thing is it wont happen until the first time you insert the sim card

That's interesting to know as my intention was to get the N8000 but not use a sim card in it initially until I got to the US early next year. So as soon as I put the sim card in it will start continually nagging that there is no card after the card has been removed. Also, I guess the battery drain would also occur in the N8000 without a sim card as the service cannot be stopped.
Would a possible work around be to put an old expired pay as you go sim into it?
I just got this device, model D6633. Seems that it's just the same as regular Z3 except for dual SIM card. I was wondering if root will be achievable on this model once its out for the single SIM Z3?
Thanks! Fantastic phone by the way. best allrounder on the market
As my experience with Note 3 Duos, there is no differences in rooting and recovery conpare to 1 sim variant.
Ps: is Z3 Dual enable HSPA on both sim, OP?
Im actually curious about this as well as I have the opportunity to get the Dual sim version but need to root

Where did you buy it? Online? I'm looking for importing it from Poland, the only European country who looks to be receiving it.
How's the dual sim's functionality? For example when you receive or do a call or a SMS, is there a button to switch lines or what? Where do you put the second SIM? Is the flap bigger? Sorry for questions, never had a Sony Dual...

The microSD card is moved next to the charger which now has a bigger flap. Both SIMs go next to each other in the right side flap. I'm only using it with 1 SIM card right now, but on the Call buttons and so on there's a small "1" so I'm guessing if I had two SIM cards there would be two buttons or some way to make the call from whichever SIM you want. You cannot also use two simultaneous data connections. the whole setup is pretty neat to be honest. Loving this, can't wait to travel now. lol.
I bought it locally (I live in Beirut, Lebanon) for 800 USD. Pretty steep but that's the way things go around here.

1. Yes
2. I'm extremely sorry, I made a (big) typo. I meant you CANNOT do that. post edited.
3. 16GB. The supplier said only the single SIM Z3 had a 32GB variant. he may be right and just as easily wrong.

According to this only the D6616 has a 32GB option. That's disappointing as the D6603 will be the 'mainstream' model.

Could you change your sim to sim 2 slot and test 3G/HSPA with your phone? On my Note 3, sim 2 slot only work in 2G/Edge mode.
how is the battery life on the dual sim version? is it similar to the D6603?

I got 7 hours of screen on time and 20 hours of standby and I still had 9%. Unreal. All this without even Greenify and debloating.
Oh I got the answer when OP did not answer my question . I'm looking to buy Z3 Dual in next some days.

That is inaccurate. check my post on page 1 containing a screenshot that clearly shows you can only use one SIM data connection.
Do you mean, that you can only use one connection at a time or that one slot is 2g/3g/4g and one is only 2g?

Are you going to import the phone from Poland by going there yourself?
I am also looking for a place to order this phone and ship to Finland.

He misunderstand my meaning. He installed one sim and don't want to change sim slot to test. As Z3 D6633 manual: only one 3G/4G connection at a give time but on any slot/sim.
My Note 3 Duos has 1 slot can be used as 3G connection, another only for 2G

I'll order it online
But I'll wait one or two months for a price drop.
I just ordered one from eBay. It comes from US.
Hi,
I have dual SIM version of the Velvet. Previously I used Xiaomi MI9 (also dual SIM), and when I switched I was so surprised the way you get to choose from witch SIM card you are making a call. Is that really it that in LG you need to choose SIM card in notifications menu before making a call?
For example MIUI gives you different options, one SIM to be default or ask before making a call, or you can always tap and hold contact to choose a SIM card...
That's weird, or am I missing a setting?
Hi have you had an answer for this? I'm hesitating between this and a Xiaomi device and dual sim usage is really important to me

No, I just got used to it, that I must double check which SIM card is currently selcted. It's annoying but well... it works, though. I switched from Mi9, but it had terrible battery life. I still see people annoyed from battery problems in their Xiaomi.

You can always preset a SIM card to certain number.

Hi thanks for answering! I can get the Redmi Note 10 pro and the LG velvet for the same price; that's why I have been hesitating, but my current phone is still working so whichever is cheaper will be my next phone haha
How is your transition from MIUI to the Velvet UI? I have never tried MIUI before but from videos I have seen, I really like the way it looks, LG's UI on the other hand, I still have mixed feelings...
Velvet UI and MIUI are a bit different, but can't tell which one is better. Maybe one thing I miss is gesture navigation. I have chosen Velvet because of Dual Screen case - the one thing that distinguished that phone among others.
