I'm currently using two 3G enabled Sims in my Galaxy Core GT-i8262.
My Sole purpose of getting the Sim 2 was to use 3G Data/Internet on it, while using Sim 1 for Calling and texting only.
I went for Galaxy Core only because i have to use Voice and Data on 2 different Sims separately.
Therefore , i inserted the Sim 2, Went into Sim Manager > Enabled both Sim > Dual Sim Active
I also enabled "Receive incoming calls via Other Sim card while using Data service" in Both Sim 1 & Sim 2.
But when i selected this setting i received a popup "This might slow down the data transmission"
>Also i have Set Data as "Sim 2" in Sim 1, (So only Sim 2 will ne used for Data)
And Sim 1 as GSM Only while Sim 2 as WCDMA Only
But still, when i'm on a call in Sim 1, i can't use the 3G service of Sim 2 simultaneously. Only after disconnecting the call, Sim 2 3G Data starts working,
So the whole purpose of using Dual Sim goes wast when we can't use 3G internet on one sim while on call in the other.
Can anyone suggest how to enable this feature and also to avoid the "The slow data transmission" due to Dual Active Sim.. Otherwise this phone is just a piece of trash as i'll be on call most of the time and i won't be able to check my mail or Whatsapp msgs.
Please.. Anyone reply..
Ask this to samsung CEO he cannot answer that:sly:
Sent from my GT-I8262 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
While u r on a call on Sim 1 you cannot use the data connection from the Sim 2 even if its on WCDMA. But u can use 3G on the same sim on which the call is being recieved or done ...means Sim 1 can be used for both purpose simultaneously for Calling & Data connection on WCDMA ...even if u r on a call on sim 1 the data connection wont be lost...
hi! i'm not shure if i understand
i want to purchase this phone and i'm not shure if i can use in one sim voice over 3G and in the other one data over 3g.
I don't want to use voice and data in the same time...
Please help me
nobody can help me?
Hi Luciand, are you from Brazil?
My guess is that it is impossible to use voice on SIM 1 and data on SIM 2 because the smartphone have only one modem.
Even if it is capable of receiving calls on both SIM 1 or SIM 2, it is not possible to actively use the two SIMs at the same time.
For some smartphone to be capable of doing what you want, it should have two modems, which I believe would increase its cost and nobody would buy it...
I hope this helps, and if anyone knows better, please correct me!

You are able to select which SIMs data service the phone uses in the sim card manager under Data service network. However, you cannot use voice and data at the same time, regardless of which sim is set to be used for voice or data (at least here in the US on EDGE network.)
Need help guys. Hopefully this is okay since I'm using the S6 regular Dual-sim Philippines model. I'm using 2 sims (Globe and Sun network) and I always use my Globe network for mobile internet since it's faster. Now, when I use the LTE capable network for mobile internet for a couple of minutes (possibly hours as well), both of my sim cards would suddenly shut down (their mobile icon turns hollow, mobile internet disconnects. Sorry I can't provide the screenshot since i forgot while making this post). After a while, both networks will have their signal back and I can resume browsing again. This usually becomes a problem when i play online games since the game constantly checks for a working internet connection and it cuts me off the server if i'd lose my internet for a few seconds. What i've tried is that I'd turn off the other sim card (Sun sim card) but since I also use this sim for communicating with people, I can't turn the sim off permanently. Can someone please enlighten me on what to do or what might be the problem? Is this supposed to happen to the dual-sim variant of the S6? Hope you can help me out guys.. Sorry for the long post though.
TLDR: Using dual-sim variant of S6 (Philippines). Using two sim card networks (one for internet, one for texting/calling). When using mobile internet (LTE mode) for a couple of minutes or hours, both sim networks would suddenly shut down and I would lose my internet connection. Turning the non-internet network/sim off somehow fixes the issue but I need both networks on since people would call me at the non-internet network sometimes. Is this expected from a dual-sim variant or is there anything i could do to fix this. Thanks guys!
Is VoLTE activated?
Hi there
I have a U11 international Version (401) and two Sim Cards.
SIM1: with Data Plan
SIM2: no Data Plan (if i use data it's 3$/day....every day!)
My Problem is, when i connect my phone to the car over RSAP, it autmaticly switches to SIM2 and i have to pay.
I was not able to activate mobile data in SIM1 and deactivate mobile Data in SIM2. They are both on or both off.
I tried in: Settings/ more/ Data usage / SIM1 or SIM2
Any idea how i can seperate them? Is this a Firmware Bug?
Regards
+1, I have the same question. In the dual network manager I can set the "preferred" SIM card for the data connection, which is not what I want, I am looking to completely forbid the data connection with one of the SIM cards. Anybody?
Good evening I turn to you because I have a problem with my slot sim 2 I do not have a 4G. When I activate it I have no network. Roaming and any other settings sound activated. At least I hope so.
Although the phone tells me that the network is available, I can not call or receive calls (same for SMS). On the other hand, a priori, no problem to access the internet via 3G. When I try to call I have the following message: Mobile network not available
Help me
Have you tried any other SIM?
You need to go into your mobile network setting and Dual Sim setting to make sure Sim 2 is active.
Now if you want Sim 2 to use 4G you will have to select this in the Dual Sim setting. By default Sim 1 is the default mobile settings.
At any one time 2 sim are in the device only one will use 4G or 3G the other will use 2G.
here are the tests I made with reboot

Hi. I`ve got an MHA-L29 and I`ve got a problem with dual sim settings. In dual sim setting menu if I select default mobile data (4G services associated with default SIM) on SIM 1 then I lose the signal from that sim (Emergency calls only) and I`ve got SIM 2 signal. If I select default mobile data on SIM 2 I lose signal from that sim and I receive signal on SIM1. Basically, I can`t have both sim working (network signal) because I need to set 1 SIM on default mobile data and the one that I set it`s losing signal.
Maybe someone can help me. Thanks

This is strange behavior.
By default there is no problem. See my screenshot.
I suppose it is mobile operator's problem.
What is your full version (settings / about phone / build version) ?
What is your country and mobile carriers?
It`s not a mobile operator problem. I use the same sims on mate 8 and it`s fine. It`s exactly like in your screenshot, sim 1 default mobile data and I lose signal, and I have signal on sim 2. If I select sim 2 default mobile data I lose signal on sim 2 and receive signal on sim 1. So basically I can`t use dual sim and mobile data.
I`m in UK with BT and Lycamobile.
Build version was MHA-L29C432B198 but I`ve tried different things and now I`ve got nrd90m test-keys.

Agree, C432 region is for UK too. So your bug must not exist, but it is here.
Nrd90m test-keys means that metadata from oeminfo does not match with current ROM.
Did you try to rebrand? If yes, just flash ROM again what you flashed last time.
I`m trying now to rebrand, watching tutorial but I`m stuck at
After device enter TWRP, connect to USB cable.
Press ENTER key to continue...

Something blocked adb. Maybe HiSuite. Turn it off, then check that pc recognises device.
adb devices
You can issue to refresh adb
adb kill-server
Phone must be in twrp.
I`ve managed to do all the steps, but after restart I can`t get past the Huawei logo, phone enters in Huawei eRecovery where I have Download latest version and recovery (restore your system with wifi) reboot or shutdown. I`ve tried to restore the system with wifi but I can`t (getting package info failed). I don`t know what went wrong during the process but the phone it`s stuck at huawei erecovery.
So now I`ve managed somehow to update emui to 8.0 and android 8.0 and I have build number MHA-L29 8.0.0.321 (C432log), but the initial problem it`s still there.
I still can`t use mobile data or both sims in the same time. The sim selected to be default mobile data lose signal.
I`ve tried to use 1 sim and sdcard but I don`t have signal because the sim it`s set by default to be mobile data.
Anyone?

Seems to be hardware issue. Do you have warranty?
I don`t have warranty. Both sims slots work fine one at the time, not together.
I need 10 posts on the forum so I can upload a screenshot.

OK. Last thing - try to delete and recreate apn settings.
Don't think that they all incorrect, but maybe one of them...
The Mate9 is active/passive: it's impossible to make a call using sim 1 and using mobile data with sim2 but in stand by you can receive calls on both sim. This limitation is not present on mate8 and mate10.
Piergiorgio
I`ve tried other sims, put new apn and it`s the same.
pgmunzi I can`t because I don`t have signal on one of the sims. In dual sim settings, I need to set sim1 or sim2 to be default mobile data. With sim1 set on default mobile data, I`ve got signal on sim2 and no signal o sim1 (emergency call only), not even to receive. With sim2 set on default mobile data, I`ve got signal on sim1 and no signal on sim 2.

You can only have data on SIM1. Both sims can be used for calls and SMS (to my understanding). If you have two SIM cards from the same network it should not be a problem, overall. If you have two different networks (one on each SIM) then you might have some issues.
If you have the SIMS on the same network, and they use the same APN, you might want to copy the settings to two different APN's a label them for SIM1 and SIM2.
Also be careful of what version of OS you use. If you download a version that is originally branded for something else, then expect problems. There are also "Gotcha's" with firmware that is taken from one device and reconfigured to work on your device. Usually this is a matter of rebranding and copying underlying code over. This too causes issues with dual SIM phones. I have found this to be true with my MHA-L29C567. Sadly, I would love to have a memory card under the second sim slot along with a second SIM, but I have yet to figure that one out...

Just got the same problem (2 sim cards from same network, only obe working at a time) and thanks to you it's solved. I just had to rename the second APN differently.
I have the same problem. Is it solve? Hv been searching for solution.
Hello guys.. I have the same problem in my mha-l29. Did you solve it?
