Anyone know if the 5g version is dual SIM... Two different people say two different things. If I pay to get a dual SIM tray from eBay...
Regards
The 5G version, which is currently only sold by EE, is not dual-SIM. It can be flashed to the dual-SIM international firmware but you lose the ability to use 5G by doing so. You would also need to replace the single-SIM tray with a dual-SIM tray.
The international firmware has no firmware, drivers, etc. to run the 5G X50 modem. Unfortunately, that is only contained within the 5G firmware.

Is this something that can possibly be fixed software-wise in the future?
I wanted to get the oneplus 5g but I needed dual sim as well (plus the relatively worse support as updates have not yet been seeded to Oneplus 5g unlike the non-5g versions) - sounds like EE and OnePlus bamboozled consumers with a more expensive but poorly-supported 5G version

You can restore the original firmware to restore 4G, but you will lose dual-SIM. However, you could try flashing just the OTA on the %G to see if it leaves the 5G enabled while enabling dual-SIM. I haven't seen anyone doing this specifically on the 5G model but flashing the International US OTA on the T-Mobile stock firmware leaves you with a T-Mobile dual-SIM hybrid.
Hi, how did you get on with this as I was considering the 5G, but like others didn't want to lose dual SIM?
I have ordered dual SIM tray to give it a go as was told by rep at OnePlus the 5g does support dual SIM it's set to single sim at ee request ?
Please update when you receive it.
I've made one of the SIMs to fit in the tray without buying a dual SIM tray and it's not dual SIM capable. So I think it's the EE firmware to be blamed for single SIM use....?

The activation of the dual SIM facility will be in the firmware. The 5G version has two modems the x50 for 5G and the soc 855 built in 4g modem. Until EE/ OnePlus releases this and the Wizards on xda find what's blocking the function,we are batting blind!

How were customers bamboozled?
It was always indicated the the 5G version was single SIM.

That might well be true, however even the store salesman said it was dual SIM. Though personally I'm not concerned

The dual-SIM hardware is there. If you flash one of the international firmware versions, you will enable dual-SIM, but at the cost of losing 5G. You only have 5G with the 5G firmware, because that firmware is the only one that contains the X50 modem support.
what firmware will work on my op7 pro 5g as i want dual sim not bothered about 5g
Sorry to bump an old thread. But any idea what firmware I'd flash on the European (EE) variant in order to enable dual-sim?

Flashing the Global firmware would, but you will lose 5G. There is no dual-SIM 5G official firmware.

This is incorrect, there is no way to enable dual SIM on the GM1920 or GM1925. This would require a modem.img with the SDX50 dsds configs, which we don't have.
you can however the flash the European 10 update on to the Sprint model, there are issues with Sprint data, but non Sprint carriers work fine.

The only difference between the 5G and non-5G models is the add-on modem. All devices have the dual-SIM slot, just the SIM tray needs to be swapped if the firmware is changed. The global firmware does not have anything to run the 5G modem, meaning it won't work, but 4G will. Whether flashing the Global, EU, or another firmware, only changes the bands and carrier support. Clearly you didn't fully read my post before saying it is incorrect.

Clearly you dont own one and havent tried, or you'd know it doesn't work.
I have.
I'm well aware the hardware is there for dual sims, but we have not found a way to enable it, the non-5G firmware WILL NOT BOOT FULLY when flashed via dd and fastboot and we have no way of using an msm to see if the result is any different... I've worked closely with the "guac for all" devs on this matter...
If you're actually interested in knowing more or think you can get it to work somehow, pm me and id be happy to brainstorm with you.
But myself and a group of others havent been able to enable DSDS, it's not just as simple as you are implying it to be if it is possible at all.
Hey all, as from today I'm a OnePlus 7 pro 5G owner... With a bit of a downfall.
Before I bought the phone I made a bit of research about this device to see capabilities and if it's worth the money.
As I know this device is dual SIM from factory and I was expecting my op7pro 5g to be the same... and it is in a way, but has no functionality of dual SIM phone.
When I've pulled the SIM tray out I could see inside the phone on both sides of SIM tray has SIM pins to make contact to the SIM, so I've made one of the SIMs to fit in the tray because is not a dual SIM one, but you can adjust the SIM card to fit there.. and I know it's not the SIM faulty because I've tried it on and works.
Any idea how to make it work dual SIM... I have to specify it's on a contract from EE UK.
Please give me some ideas, I know to all the stuff with ADB so I'm not afraid to use it ?.
If the phone came from EE instead of OnePlus directly, then it might be subsidized (payments) through the carrier. If it is not unlocked (cannot unlock the bootloader), then you probably won't be able to fix it.
Here in the States (USA), TMobiles OP7 Pro is locked and the second sim disabled. But you can fix that by unlocking the phone and flashing the International Rom to unlock the second sim slot (second slot is software locked, not hardware locked), allowing dual SIM if you can get your hands on another sim tray with the dual slots.
Don't know if this is the same for you, but it is worth looking into if your carrier does lock the phones down and allows them to be unlocked.
It's not dual SIM as it's a limitation of the 5g modem
The 7 Pro 5G IS dual SIM capable. It has 2 modems. The Qualcomm X50 5G modem and the modem built into the SOC for 4G. It's the firmware that's restricting dual SIM functionality. If you wish, you can convert to the international variant but you WILL lose 5G connectivity (if you have it).

yes I own the Oneplus 7 Pro and that sim tray is the exact same one that goes into the OP7T Pro Mclaren.
I have t-mobile and i bought my sim card slots from amazon for both the OP 6T and OP 7 Pro. I was able to successfully convert each of those phones using msmtool. But the damn OP7T Pro Mclaren 5G from t-mobile I can't find a solution.
I have the Oneplus 7t Pro Mclaren 5G Edition and all I want is to activate dual sim. At this point I don't even care if 5G works. I would sacrifice it if there was some way to install OP7T Pro onto the OP7T PRo Mclaren.

sure, which phone? the 6T or 7 Pro?
Can I confirm that you tried using a OP7Pro international firmware via MSMTool on your OP7PRO5G? Did you ever fix the issue?
I'm just trying to workout if using a OP7Pro international firmware makes it work as a dual 4g sim (I really dont care about the 5G)
FyI I have a OP7PRO5G(EU)
I tried to use msmtool to make it a op7pro international (was a fail or I wasn't doing something right....I get "Param pre-processing") Can someone please advise me.

Nope..you can just have 5g on one sim card available. Second sim can be still used for phone calls etc..

so you say when 5g is enabled, phone is only single sim? I thought one 4G + one 5G. Could you please try if SIM2 can work with 5G? or 5G has to be SIM1?

When 5g is enabled, phone is only single sim and sim1or2 doesn't really matter.
Yes poco said that when you use 5G phone will be single sim till they will give update that will make 1 sim 5G and other will be 4G
You just have to read the user guide.........
About Dual SIM:
• Supports Dual SIM cards with no carrier restrictions, single 5G or dual 4G
connectivity ①
• Supports Dual Nano-SIM card slots, either card can be set as the primary
card
• Supports single SIM 5G/4G+/4G/3G/2G
• Supports Dual SIM 4G+/4G/3G/2G
• Supports Dual SIM VoLTE HD calling ②
Note ①: 5G support depends on the local telecom operator’s network; if
the primary card 5G is enabled, the secondary card will not be available;
subsequent software upgrades will include support for primary 5G and
secondary 4G/3G/2G card mode function in dual-card situations.
Note ②: VoLTE service availability depends on the local telecom operator’s
network and service deployment
Not so complicate....
So according to the user manual dual sim support while 5g enabled is coming with a future update? the phone is five months old, did the promised update come through yet? are all other ROMs available for this device have the same issue?
The promised update is yet to come .

The phone was launched 5 months ago but probably due to the pandemic there is surprisingly little development and discussion from the community's side. Barely 4 roms.
I have been waiting 2 months now to upgrade because there is no way I ever use MIUI.
Last week LineageOS was released, but it's Android 10, and only initial build.
I will probably wait or lineageOS 18 before I buy this phone, but this means waiting few months the way things are going.
Dont forget that very few people use dual sim on their phone... Not a priority to fix ;o)

Hello
Why Poco F2 pro have only activate 1 SIM for 5G?
why is it not possible to use SIM 1 with 5G and SIM 2 with no internet or 4G (3G) at the same time?
I only want to be able to make calls on Sim 2 and Internet on SIM 1 with 5G...
can't the Sapdragon 865?
does this come with a later update?
it works now on the Poco F1 ... Sim 1 with 4G and Sim 2 without or with 4G at the same time.
Kind regards

Not a fix cause it's not a bug.
It's in the specifications from the beginning, and inside the manual (first pages).
They will provide a update but maybe not...
As we all bought the phone knowing that, they don't have to speed up to provide a 'fix'

Here the exact sentence in the poco Manual :

well thats rather naughty isnt it!! I always liked Xiaomi on my second phone but this will make me think twice about buying their products now!
In the instruction manual it is also written that with an update they would have added the dualsim with a sim in 5G but have not yet done so after a year. It's a shame, I will never buy a Xiaomi smartphone again!

The Poco F2 Pro has great potential but is very limited, even the 5G bands are limited compared to new cheap smartphones such as the Poco F3.

I have two sims in the Poco F2 Pro and I am using xiaomi.eu
I use the second sim for data and the second sim gives me 5G among the preferred networks while the first sim does not.
So I think 5G is usable among the preferred networks based on which sim you use for the data.
