Hi, I have a dual sim Moto G. I have a 3g sim and a 2g sim card.
I wish to use the 2g card for data and calls but the 3g sim for calls only.
Now I put the 3g sim in slot 1 and the 2g sim in slot 2. Now when i choose data mode for the 2g sim it changes the data network type to 3g without me choosing that option. And it changes my 3g sim to 2g network only.
I'v tried all sorts of ways but it still changes the sim network type on its own.
Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance, Ben.
P.S. yes I did search the forums first but I couldn't find any details about this issue.

In a dual sim mobile phone 3g network can be operated from one sim only so what you can do is activate 3g on the 3g sim and disable internet on it and then the only choice for 2g sim would be to stay on 2g and then you enable internet on it.
If it doesn't work try changing slots.
If I helped please hit thanks!

I have tried switching sim slots. What happens is when i select the enable data tick on the 2g sim the network type bar greys out and changes to 3g mode on its own. The only way i can change network mode is to de-select data mode and choose 2g again.
Cheers, Ben.
Got the L29, so dual sim.
My first sim is for calling and sms, so I only need 2G but I can not set it to only 2G. Just the sim for mobile network (it's sim 2) can set to 2G, 2G/3G, 2G/3G/4G and only 4G.
The problem is 3G is really bad for sim 1 and this drain my battery for nothing, cuz I only need 2G for calling/sms.
I got a lot dual sim devices and this one is just strange in some things.
Regards
This is a problem for me, too
Dosen't work, I call already Huwei and they can not help me. Really bad :/
theres a setting in sim card management under mobile networks. it lets you pick which one gets data.
I can easily set 2G only for sim1 here, dont know what you did? Or your carrier doesnt support this, I mean if there is no 2G in your country, why could you change it to 2G?
Same problem on my mate 9 and my axon 7, seems to be an androidwide problem.

Naw, it works perfect with OnePlus 3, 3T, Mi5, Mi5s, Mi5s Plus and all other phones. Set Sim 2 to 2G/3G/4G and Sim 1 only on 2G. Here you can set Internet and this is it, the other sim go 2G/3G.

In "settings/more/mobile networks" I can set the preferred network mode for each sim card. Had this when I used it as dual SIM for my work: sim 1 data mode on 2g, sim 2 on 4g. Works perfectly, even on 2 completely different providers.

I don't believe. When mobile data is default set to sim 1, just to sim 1 can be selected preffered network mode.
In my case: sim 2 -default mobile data- can be set to 2g only/auto 2g3g...evrything. Sim 1 switched automatically to 2g/3g/lte auto-can not be set preffered network mode.
If i switch default mobile data to sim 1, preffered network mode can be modified in sim 1, but not for sim 2, and sim 2 switched auto to 2g/3g/lte auto.
I want like this:
1. sim1 default data-3g/4g/lte
2. sim 2---2g only. But this is not possible because just in this case, sim 2 jump into 2g/3g auto.

Nope... Just the sim which is for mobile network. If I change sim 1 to mobile network, I can set to only 2G but the other one will be 2G/3G

Ah I see what you mean! Have been playing with 3 different dual SIM phones last year so got it mixed up. What I did with my Huawei mate 9 when I used dual SIM was: sim 1 set to auto 4g 3g 2g and on sim 2 I overruled the automatic provider search and just picked the 2g network from my provider. It then still mentioned 2g 3g in dual SIM settings but it didn't connect to 3g because I selected a 2g only network.
Is this how you want it?
on my ZTE it's really funny. the setting is available but disabled lol
Fixed By using Tasker [No Root]
I got this issue fixed by using Tasker so probably there might be an ADB command to set the network mode
My fix:
Make a new task -> Press + button -> Mobile Network Type -> Choose required network mode
Note: Will need to enable USB debugging and use the command `adb tcpip 5555` for getting the permissions. Also this might need to be done after ever phone reboot
So Im using dual sim p20 and Ive noticed that upon selecting one card to be the primary card for data connectio ln the network type on the second card automatically switches to 4g. I can change the network tyoe only on the primary card , the one being used for data connection (I can toggle between 2g, 3g, and 4g). But the other card is set to 4g and there ia no option to change this setting. On my wifes samsung you can for example set both cards to use 2g or 4g.. Is there any workaround for huawei devices? Thanks.
I just found a way to change it lol... Basically one must click on "dual sim 4g" under dual sim setup..after doing so I can go back to network settings and set both cards to use any network type I want.
Hello,
I have 2 sim cards in my device. the default mobile data is set to sim1.
when ever sim1 has no connection but sim2 has, I have no mobile data, because the mobile data is set to sim1.
If I want to set sim2 as the mobile data in settings.
I wish to avoid that.
I want the phone to make an automated mobile data roaming between sim1 and sim2, when ever sim1 is without service.
In the attachment you can see that the mobile data is set to sim1 and sim1 is not in service but the mobile data does not transforms to sim2.
I'm looking for a magisk module or something that will automatically make sim2 the mobile data provider in case sim1 has no connections.
does anyone has a solution for that?
I have a pyxis device with miui 12
Thanks
I think when I select the mobile network to 2g/3g/4g/5g automatic from the settings, it sets the value for both the sim, not only on which sim the mobile data is turned on. For example, if I have mobile data turned on for sim2 and I set network to 'automatic' it sets automatic for both the sim, that means for sim1, it is also set to automatic. Even if I try to manually change the network by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then going to phone information and setting the network to (suppose) GSM only for sim1, it sets GSM (2g) for sim2 also. & then going to sim2, if I set it to LTE only (4g) it is also set for sim1.
I think, it is set for both the sim when I select the value of mobile network for any sim, it sets the value for both the sim which actually costs the battery juice rapidly. How to fix this?
