Dual Sim not run on Universan??? Help me!

dual sim
Hi
I Had also a problem with dual sim.
I only have a workaround if you dont need umts.
go to settings-telephone-band and use for network type gsm instead of auto.
umts doesnt work now but gprs is still available.
if you still have problems you can use a separate programm for switching, look at www.wivit.com and try the sim status switcher.
good luck

defekt adaptor
Hi
Sorry thats all i can advice.
maybe that your dual sim adaptor is defekt or simply the cards are not contacted. it happened to me also once.
If you have another dualsim adapter try it.
bye
PS i use generation 10 sim adapter .

I've actually tried one of these ghost sims.
My problem is that I cannot reliably "switch off" the phone to make it switch.
How do you guys do it.
I'm trying a softreset, radio off/on.
But although I do occationally get it to switch, it is not practical enough to use.

I too have the samew problem with trying to install WiVSSS10.cab
Has anyone actually had it running on a Universal or on WM5 for that matter ?

Dual Sim Wivit 1.0
Hi All,..
Im using Windows Mobile 6.0... And downloaded Wivit1.0. The problem is that I Cannot Use Wivit1.0 on a Windows Mobile 6.0 device.
Since I use on my MDA-Pro Windows Mobile 6.0, I would not like to be going back to WM5.0.
Can anyone tell me if there is a Dual Sim switch software available for the windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.0?
Regards
arjan

CDMA owners using sim capabilities, no internet and texting with new zimage builds?

I've been watching android a bit and the development has been stellar. I've been using my sim card on my cdma device to test and so far all has been working. But with the recent builds, internet or texting does not work. Is this because of 3g? I've tried switching to 2g but that didn't help either. My question is what should I do to get data and sms working on my rhodium 500 (CDMA world) touch pro 2?

Try removing your SIM card, i'm running the latest version of Android for TP2 by MrPippy on PPCGeeks and its running great, 3G Data, voice calling, Wifi, keyboard, marketplace etc.
the last time i tried running android i left my SIM in the slot, and i couldn't do anything except look at the phone's interface,
the world phone (only version of TP2 from Verizon) uses Vodaphone services by default when it detects SIM card on Android for some reason, so this is most likely why the Android developers tell everyone to remove the SIM card.
Hope that helps

i'm using my gsm service as main so those suggestions wouldn't help

You're using the GSM service on your CDMA TP2 domineus?? Did you take a Verizon or Sprint TP2 and bring it over to AT&T or T-Mobile's network? Either way, you may have a more unique setup than most of us.
For the most part, I'm experiencing the exact thing as schwartz1; my Verizon TP2 (CDMA) works GREAT with the latest MrPippy Android release. Like schwartz1 said (as well as in the detail instructions from the thread), you need to remove your SIM card for it to work. I verified with VZW a while back that it's just there as a placeholder; you don't need it if you'll be within the USA.
Good luck

I'm in the same boat... I'm using my sprint tp2 in germany and the cdma android builds the voice and data don't work at all but the gsm xdandroid cab worked for voice and data once out of 8 times I booted... can't figure out what got it to work that once though.

surprisingly the gsm cab worked well dated march 8
but the zimages have been giving a lot of issues for me...

What does that SIM toolkit do?

I got the Nexus from Bell Canada and I noticed that I have something called SIM toolkit in the app drawer. I clicked on it and it loaded but it didn't do anything. What is it and what does it do? Is it a bloatware?

In Europe is STK often used as an authentication channel for internet banking
or if your provider sim has built-in functionnality ,like shortcuts ...or services

So no way to get rid of it?

can't you disable it? (long press app icon -> app info -> disable)

Or freeze it in Titanium Backup or uninstall it.

Ya, I was just wondering if it's some bloatware that was installed by my carrier.

No, it's the equivalent of the SIM menu that exists on just about any GSM standards-compliant phone if the carrier chooses to present a SIM menu. Remember that the SIM is actually a small computer chip that runs authentication algorithms and other simple programs. STK just queries the SIM to ask if it has a SIM menu, and if so it presents it to you. On Bell it doesn't do much - just lets you visit the account self-serve web portal and dial common customer service numbers. On WIND you can use it to request an SMS with your account balance and usage details, and also under certain circumstances to force it to look for roaming networks.
I think it's also responsible for pop-up messages that come from the SIM - for example on AT&T GoPhone, you get a pop-up every time you do something that decrements your balance, so that you know how much it cost you.
Short version - it doesn't do much, and it does absolutely nothing when you aren't running it. Leave it on, because every once in a while it's useful.

For me stk menu is important , i use an dual simcard adapter in my nexus
But in most custom rom it didn't appear ...

I've deleted it in every ROM for the last couple of years with no side-effects. (T-Mobile UK).

There is truly no advantage in doing so... it consumes no resources, and on the rare occasions you might need it again, getting it back is a pain.
If you are using a SIM that does not have any SIM menu programmed into it, the icon will vanish automatically. For example my LG Optimus One shows the STK with a Bell SIM but it vanishes with a Fido SIM.

it's a simore platinum adapter
http://www.simore.ch/en/two_sim_cards_in_one_mobile/dual_sim_card_platinum.php
but it's impossible to use 2 sim at same time, but i can program it to switch automatically (1 hour on sim 1 ,10 minutes on sim 2 )

[Q] Data features on the HTC M8 dual Sim

Dears,
Am in the process of researching/buying an HTC M8 dual SIM phone, can someone please advise if it is feasible to STOP Mobile DATA on a certain line (Ex: Line1) and ENABLE Mobile Data on the other line (Ex: Line2).
Thanks for all your help.

Bad dual sim management
Better late than never, right?
You find "dual sim management" in the phone's settings.
This is where you can activate and deactivate each sim and where you set the preferred sim for mobile data.
So, yes, you can easily switch the sim that's being used for mobile data.. However, the BIG restriction is, that the sim 2 radio only supports 2G (up to EDGE). So, in order to use high speed internet from the provider whose sim is located in slot 2 you actually have to swap the sim cards. Also, there's no way to automatically switch to the other network's mobile data in case you lose mobile data coverage on the preset network . You really have to tell the phone manually which network to use.
Another big issue for me is that I can't preset the network I use for calls. So, my sim 1 is for data only. sim 2 is for voice calls and texts. Remember: it has to be this way because only sim 1 supports 3G/4G. Now, when I initiate a call via voice or via my car's bluetooth unit the phone automatically tries to use sim 1 as the default for calls. I can't set it up to use sim 2 as the default call handler and there's no dialogue asking me which sim to use like when I dial manually. That's really bad, all other companies that offer dual sim phones have better management options in their software's settings.
I tried using alternative phone apps which give you the option of choosing a default sim for calls but this only works for voice-dialing; bluetooth still overrides the alternative dialer and always goes with the stock one.
I hope this helps - so actually I'd advice agaist the M8 dual sim despite it being beautiful and having really good hardware.

EMUI 10 & dual SIM issues

Hi,
I got EMUI 10 and together with Android 10, it introduces some new small things that are very nice to have (on top of the new visual which is a very good improvement on my view). For instance, when connected to Bluetooth on my car, I've the option to redirect sound to the phone or car.
Now one thing that stopped working correctly is that I've a dual SIM - one for voice / SMSs and one for data - and now my car dashboard shows SIM 2 network name and status and not SIM 1's as before (SIM 1 is configured as the default for voice). Anyone knows if / how can I fix / change this?
On this topic and it was always like this, I use Google's Messaging app and it has a tendency for sending SMSs from SIM 2 which shouldn't as SIM 2 is only for data. Anyone knows if there's something to prevent this? Sometimes I send SMSs which come out using the SIM 2 phone number (data SIM) and when someone replies I can't see them because it's a data SIM only (doesn't receive SMSs).
Thanks in advance for the support / feedback.
