Hello,
a few days ago i got my HD2.
Now the problem i have is to switch between the two numbers of my dual SIM card.
I installed Dual SIMToday.
But this doesn't work with HTC Sense or SPB Mobile Shell.
does anyone has an idea which sw i can use?
thanks in advance

hi.
Where did u get dual simcard?
Hello,
i use a dual SIM from Vodafone with two different nummers
(company and Privat)
Does this Matters?

Dual Sim's
Usually, Dual Sim Card's have their own chip embedded selection menu, which can be accesed from the phone menu...you should look in the Start menu or Settings area for a new icon called soemething like "Dual Sim Card" or "SIM Toolkit" or such...if you can't find any, then most probably you have the STK Service turned of on youre phone.
The easiest eay to verify the STK Service Status is to install BSB Tweaks 1.6, and just check the menu for "STK Service" if it's turned off, enable it, reboot youre phone..and you should have the Sim Change Icon Appear.
Dual SIM
Hello,
i only have one SIM Card with two numbers.
No Dual SIM adapter between.
So there is no SW for the Duals SIM adapter on the phone.
Regards
Esip
No settings icon?!...nowhere?
There should have been an option somewere in the phone menu for the dual sim card. (i Know it's not a "Hardware Adapter" Dual sim..nevertheless it uses the same principle so it's should act as one)
In Vodafone Greece for example there is an icon called Vodafone 2gether that allows for an easy way to swap the primary number.

Hello redman8x8
in Germany Vodafone doesn's have these options.
there is no SW on the HD2 (no Branding)
and you don't get any Software when you get the Dual SIM.
thanks for the info anyway.
Hello,
Jellybean and below versions of Android have 2g/3g/4g only mode in the network settings only so this guide is basically for KitKat and above versions.
With KitKat and above versions the network settings are changed to "Preferred Network Type" and then 3 options (2 depending on the phone) are shown viz 4g (LTE),3g (Wcdma),2g (Gsm).
This means that when a user selects 4g in preferred network type and once he is in a low 4g coverage zone the phone keeps fluctuating between 4g and 3g/2g.This might result in an unpleasant internet experience.
So it is necessary to keep the phone in a single network mode to use a stable network connection -> This is true especially in countries like India where there is patchy 4g and 3g coverage.
DISCLAIMER:- The below mentioned steps for unrooted phones are completely safe and no harm may occur if followed correctly.
Rooting your phone may void the warranty and some hacks (such as xposed framework) may not be supported on your ROM (phone). Please read the respective threads for rooting,xposed framework,gravity box which are available on xda before installing them.
SINGLE SIM MOBILE :-
[A]- (unrooted) It's pretty easy. Just dial *#*#4636#*#* in your dailer and then select
'Phone Information' and then select LTE only ( or WCDMA ) in the drop down menu above "Turn off Radio".
- (unrooted) Use an app like 'Phone Testing' by diewland instead of dailing the code.
[C] - (rooted) If [A] and don't yield the desired result, then you must root your phone then install xposed framework and then install gravity box.
DUAL SIM MOBILE:-
SIM 1 :- For sim 1 follow the same steps [A] or or [C] which are mentioned above for single sim mobile.
SIM 2:- For sim 2, first disable SIM 1 in " Dual sim settings " and then follow steps [A] or or [C] .
Once your done then re-enable sim 1 . The sim 2 will continue to remain in whatever mode you selected.
PS 1 :- Although it can be argued that a simple sim swap will do (in dual sim phones) , this is faster than a sim swap.
PS 2 :- You have to perform these steps after every reboot. There is no way (not yet discovered) so that these settings aren't overridden after a reboot.
PS 3 :- Though there are numerous posts on xda, guides /videos on the internet which explain the exact same thing but I couldn't find any post/guide/video on the internet which explains these settings on a dual sim phone which doesn't require a sim swap.
Thank you.
this works on both single and dual sim and the settings will "stick" after reboot... requires root

Dear All,
I have a question and i would like to know if fellow users also face this problem. In my dual sim S7 930FD, I have both sim slots used. When i use internet from Sim1 and keep Sim 1 default for calling as well as internet i can use 4g/3g with no issue but when I want to use Sim1 for calling and Sim2 for internet only then when I make a call using SIM 1 the internet stops working on SIM2.
Is there anyone else also who face this same issue and is there a solution so I can atleast use 3g parallel to calling when I have to make calls?
Hi, Does your dual sim s7 shows G930F in cpu z and in download mode? please check

For those on dual sim, does data on the secondary sim ever get used. In Sim Card Mgr there is a toggle to use it during a phone call but other than that , say my primary data sim is poor, I wish it would use the one with the better connection automatically but I do not think this is an option

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note, SM-N986B/DS.
No, my experience is, you can't set data usage to automatically,
But why don't you just choose Sim2, for data usage.?
While back i had 2 x Sims in my device.
(One Sim is a just a data Sim, loaded with 10 gigs data each month )
The other Sim only had 1 gig data on it, each month .)
I set my preferences as follow in Sim Manager ......
Calls.... Sim 1
SMS.... Sim1
Data ( mobile)... Sim 2
Worked fine.
No issues.
If i switched my mobile data on it would
use Sim 2 data.
However,
I have since changed my setup.
Took second Sim out of phone,
as i experience
"more battery drain" (overnight )
than when i was using
only one sim and/or sd card.
Good luck.

Yes ,it's was just the opposite situation for me ,where i had more data on Sim 2 .
However,overall i guess it never worried me, as i am 90% on wifi .
I also noticed ,more battery use age of keeping mobile data on ,than wifi.
I guess the only option left ,would be to manually, change to preferred data Sim .
As far as i can remember the best option ,
( when i had 2 Sims in my phone )
i would swipe down to expand phone quick settings
and my Sim preferences , showed ,just under the phone ,quick settings icons .
I would then long press on the preferred data Sim choice and change it there.
It was better than going all the way to Sim Manager .
Good luck

Hmmm, the battery thing is interesting. I've tried so hard to get dual sim, flashing TMB onto Unlocked but now the battery thing is a bummer. If that is what causing it. I just turned off 120 refresh rate to see if that improves battery
In Quick Settings I see where I can click on one of the sims on the top and it takes me to the sim card menu but I wish it were just a toggle instead of taking to the menu

Firstly,
Yes, only thing you can do
is "toggle" it manually, like you described.
Secondly,
with 2 x Sims in my phone
i found that my average "sleep" over night
was example......
+- 12 % battery drainage, over period of +-8/10 hours (sleep.)
Further the way i see it,
is that even with phone in
sleep mode, it still trying to get better signal reception.... x 2...? whilst
This i checked via Betterbattery app.
Secondly,
I am back on one sim.
My average sleep overnight is
8 % for 10/12 hours sleep.!
Bottom line,
It's your phone.
That battery diffs, is no big deal...
For me it was an irritating issue. thats all
If you happy with 2x sims
keep it that way!
Good luck

Previously, say I had Sim 1 for data and Sim 2 for calls and i got a call on Sim 2, then Sim 1 was unable to access data but this has now changed with N20U
If I understood this correctly then I think my device is different cos regardless of which Sim is primary or secondary, I have an option under settings>connections>mobile networks> allow all Sims to use data in calls, which I can toggle on or off. I have found selecting this allows the other sim to use data which was not possible in some earlier android versions.

But not when I'm in a call. I needed to use data from my secondary sim because I was in a dead spot for first sim. I had to go to sim card menu in settings and change primary sim and then change it back eventually. I did use the shortcut from the pull down menu but I wish I had a toggle , ideally from Nova Launcher
I am interested to purchase a SM-N986B DS for my dual sim work/personal cell in the US near NYC. I have metro PCS and Verizon. Will this phone allow verizon to operate as the second sim? It would be a non-data sim. I know it is a GSM phone and not CDMA but also read that the LTE bands may be compatible at 4g/5g. Curious before I take the dip to buy and find out it won't work...
