Dual SIM standby for the Samsung Galaxy S2

Hey guys,
I mentioned this on another thread but thought it deserved it's own...
So I have a dual sim adapter for sim switching on my galaxy s2 which im happy with but noticed a new product I'd not seen before called Gmate which seems to let you have 2 sims actually active on your phone at the same time.
I emailed the website to see if it was compatible with the Galaxy S2 and they confirmed it was...Obviously this got me excited so I've ordered one!
This is the item and company I've ordered it from...
http://www.magic-sim.com/product-details.php?Product=13
I only ordered it today so can't confirm if it does what it claims to do yet but as soon as it arrives I'll give it a whirl and report back. Hopefully it's going to be as good as it looks!

Thanks for info. It would be nice if you would give us a feedback as soon as it will be with you.

Right so this has been an unbelievable service...
Ordered yesterday and the MAGICSIM Gmate arrived this morning. Took all of 5 mins to install and it's an incredible device. So so impressed.
It's well built and easy to use and best of all I have 2 sim cards active on my galaxy s2 now.
I can confirm that both sims can receive and make calls, SMS and browse the web.
Couldn't recommend the product or the service highly enough.
Hope this info helps guys!

Awsome! Could you make some pictures of it? I dont think i really understand what it is...
It is a 2nd device that enables your phone to have 2 sims active at same time?

Yea that's exactly what it is. Both sims are now active.
Yea I can take some pics later. Any specific picture requests?

preferably pictures that show the size of the device
found a youtube movie, looks awsome!
for some reason, the movie isnt showing for me, so here is the link aswell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAFBler2wWI

Yea well I'm loving it. It's light and sexy
Like I said im really chuffed with it and I'd like to give a shout out of support to www.magic-sim.com for offering such a great service.

How do you charge the device and how long does it last?

You charge it off a USB cable to your computer. Well I can't say for definate how long it lasts as I've not ran it dead yet but according to the manual it lasts around the same time as my Samsung battery.

I am also keen on ordering! However, I usually use my sgs 2 with either a Bluetooth headset or my Metawatch / Bluetooth watch.
Can you try using it simultaneously with a Bluetooth headset?

Yea I did try this yesterday very quickly actually and it worked fine. I'll have a more extensive test later on tho

Any updates from your Bluetooth test?

I was driving my car yesterday using a Bluetooth headset alongside the Gmate and it worked well. Didn't find any issues or problems with it.
Hope that helps!

Thanks! That's great! Looks like I should order one too! cheers pal!

No problem... I've been on the quest for a product like this for a long time so I understand the need to make sure it's what you're after!

I've recently started to use the gmate as well; however I find that it would just suddenly disconnect from time to time. To get it reconnected I would normally have to switch off my bluetooth and than swith it back on again...

I've had mine running constantly since I got it and am yet to have any issues like that. What phone is it SGS2?

I bought a MagicSim 3g dual sim and this is my experience:
- After installation i had no problem. It worked like a charm in STK mode and in 007 mode
- With original samsung battery, there is no way to close properly the phone cover, using a battery replacement, a little bit slimmer, the cover close properly after some efforts.
- After some days (3 days) MagicSim stops working, maybe due to some battery changing. Maybe I damaged the mailard.
I will not buy it again
Cheers

Had one before I got the Gmate and only had good experiences with it so I can't share your woes. Was a useful little device for me!

The best smart watch for the One X

I was initially intending to purchase Sony's Smartwatch, but am concerned by it's compatibility with the One X - does anyone here own both products?
Upon further research and am now thinking this may be a better alternative: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android/
What do you think?

I'm a backer.
Think that thing is going to be amazing...

I want this too, but there's no guarantee on the release date. Last time this company did a kickstarter it took them almost a year to produce and ship the device. More info on the on the phonedog website.

Tempted to get one of these

Let's wait
This one is VERY expensive!!!
I think I'm going to wait for the Pebble smartwatch as an ultimatum, and if something worthy comes out in the meantime, I'll get it.

The sony smartwatch DOES work just fine with the HTC One X, but it does not support email notification for HTC's email app as each vendor makes their own email app. I am sure at some point someone will come up with an HTC compatible notifier as it has an open API. Someone has written one for Gmail.

motoactv
i use a motoactvhttps://motoactv.com/ this the best option if your the sporty type its the only one that has gps and it link up to hart rate,speed and step sensors as well as your phone. it also has 8 or 16 gig for music.

You guys havent come across this one yet ...
HAVE YOU

Hev you read the OP?

I know every technology needs it's first users... But isn't this a little soon for that type of things ?
My points are :
- My new One X with a quadcore, a camera,etc... will be thinner than my watch
- Having to reload it every night or so will be a pain
- It's ridiculously expensive
- What will it bring ? If you see you have a mail or a SMS, you'll check it on the large beautiful screen of your phone
(BUT, if they were less expesive, I'd definitively buy one of thoose )

Yep I ordered the Pebble, I know people with the Sony Smartwatch and the imWatch, which are ust too big and need frequent charging. The Pebble is most importantly a watch with other functions secondary.

I just bought the Sony ericsson LiveView watch.
What a crap! Don't buy.. Loosing connection intermitently..
Perhaps im not using SE phone, that's why..

LiveView's the old version? Do you mean the smart watch?

There are no intermittent connection issues with the Smartwatch. The original Live View watch DID have lots of connection problems even with Sony Ericsson phones!

just put an order in for the sony smart watch

stay away from Sony Liveview. Tons of problems...

Any reviews on Socblue?

Has anyone tried using Socblue in the note?
http://www.amazon.com/Socblue-Bluetooth-Transformer-Converter-Android/dp/B008NZFZV8

Socblue user
Hi, how are all of you out there?
Yeh, i am a socblue user. It is working fine well almost fine, it does not work via BT on my car sadly. There is an application to download an then you pair the device after loading the battery and inserting the 2 sims.
Really, it is a peace of cake when you read the instructions well. I did not the first time and could not pair the device. Standby time is a couple
of days now. (Bought it about 4 days ago) I think i am on 50 %. Stupid they made an apple plug only. i am using it one android an iphone.

that's wonderful news. so the android application works fine on our note. how about the battery of your note? since it must be connected all the time to socblue via bluetooth, how long does your galaxy note typically last in a day, with bluetooth on and always connected to socblue?

Where did you find the app ?
Can't fnd it in the market place.

the socblue app is not on marketplace. try searching google for the manual of socblue and you will see in the manual where it is supposed to be downloaded.
i have not yet purchased socblue, as i am still waiting for a review as to typical battery life of both the note and socblue, where socblue is connected to the phone continuously.

That sounds fishy, it's no problem for us to install whatever but this is retail product (and not a cheap one). Marketplace is the ueberstandard for installing and upgrading apps.

well not really. i believe marketplace imposes a charge (US$25 i think) for uploading an application, even if its free.

i just downloaded the android app for socblue android here.
http://apt.fise.com.cn/android
i'm also planning to purchase one for myself to be used for my Note 10.1

Hi,
So sorry for my late response.
I now use the N7100. I sold my Note 1.
Sadly it won't function on my Note 2. I have been hours away trying to connect. I have mailed the sellers but no result.
Sad sad. So i took another step and bought a h7100. A chinese copy of the note 2 with dual sim. Briljant!!
Good luck, gues, with your socblue!!

do you think because N7100 is already running JB?
have to hold off my purchase then. is gmate+ better?
*update
just got myself a gmate+ instead of the socblue. paired it perfectly with the Note 10.1
unless you really need 2 extra sims, i would recommend gmate+.
btw, im not connected with the gmate company, just one happy customer.
=)

Hello yesterday I bought this one amazon.com/Quad-Standby-Adapter-Android-Phones/dp/B009EN28MM
I have a htc rezound with the latest OTA.I download socblue and I can pair my phone with i-partner through bluetooth and I can see the second sim from i-partner.But when I try to make a call or send sms then the bluetooth close and nothing happened...Anybody have any idea??Thank you all

galaxy note 2 and bluetooth car stereo

im trying to purchase a car stereo that has bluetooth hands free calling and is able to play music streamed from my galaxy note 2.
the salesman said however, that he cant guarantee any of the stereo units would work correctly with the bluetooth 4.0 that the note 2 uses.
...has anyone had any problems connecting to their car stereo, or can recommend a model that will work with the note 2 ?
thanks in advance.

I have a JVC navigation all in one and it works great with it.
It's a 2011 model.

yup, i have a flip screen with bluetooth and it connects perfectly, i have a full system btw, woofer, speekers amp the lot.

thanks guys .. any links for those models if possible?

If you want something literally cheap as chips, try one of these from Halfords.
I know it won't appeal to an audiophile, but if you're the sort of person who's generally happy with the manufacturer supplied head units, one of these would be a more than adequate replacement, and works fine with the Note II.
Regards,
Dave

bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatibility with all the older versions. So it works !!!!!!!!!!! No problem watsoever. The car salesman should get his facts straight or quit the job

Kenwood has problems
I have a DNX7190HD and the Note 2 will not work with the Pandora app at all through bluetooth. It will play Pandora through the Bluetooth menu option of the head unit but you will not get any song list or album art, but pause and play buttons do work.
Kenwood says the phone is not supported and there is no bluetooth software update coming.
Older Android phones work perfectly.

yes , it was something on those lines that my dealer was saying, and therefor couldnt guarantee any of the other makes would work untill he got some feedback.

As far as audio goes, you should be fine, as m4sta2k stated bt4.0 is backwards compatible. I have a Parrot MKi9000 handsfree installed (old one) and everything works, audio and controls. But, maybe on some radios not all the controls are supported (and also, whichever display functions it may have), as it seems that stuff is not 100% standard across all the bt devices, as opposed to audio profiles.
Best thing would be trying the radio on the store before buying it.

To be honest, I've not really noticed or cared much as I'm usually streaming from Spotify and thus have the phone screen on and can see what's playing there.

i agree with you , it connects everything perfectly.
but instead of a track listing on the headunit screen i just see AD2P ... its no big deal but if im missing a button press or something that shows the track info instead i would prefer to see it.
what does yours show when streaming from bluetooth / note 2 ?

Was in the car today.
Like you, it only shows A2DP on the screen and not the track. Tried with both Spotify and Google Music.
My other three BT speaker devices (2 headsets and some speakers) don't have screens so I can't say if it's the headunit or the phone.
Luckily, I don't care!

[SEAT] Leon: Mark 3

Hi guys,
Hope I am not wrong in posting this thread, if I am then just remove it.
I have a SEAT Leon mark 3 and ever since I bought it the infotainment system has not once been updated in regards to software. It does have a software update section but it doesn't say anywhere to check for updates. I have tried google and cant find anything, any help please?
Thank you.

my gf "just" got a leon (2014 facelift) too, nice drive by the way.
why do you want to update anthing? i think updates will only be distributed if there is a really big error in the device/software ... and there will (in my experience) NEVER be new features for something they already sold ... buy a new car in 3 years is the deal here
by the way the speed recognition is a major pain as its extremely slow ... everything else is OK from what i can tell.

actually i meant to write *SPEECH* recognition instead of speed ... sorry for that
anyway yeah ive seen some VWs with friends & family, big/small nav-devices. never a really up-to-date functionality, CPU almost always too slow if you are used to a top smartphone/tablet ... but the units work for some good 10 years.
the future belongs to mirrorlink or whatsoever its called, smartphones are just faster and are being replaced at least every 2 years by the user.
cheers!

Hi guys, just a question about BT connection, probably It's the same on all BT system, I don't know, but why It's not possible to connect two devices (for example 2 smartphone) at the same time?
I have to switch and connect only one of them every time, It's a BT protocol or depends from SEAT software?
Thank you!

it is only possible to connect one (1) device at the same time.
i do not know if it is a BT protocol thing or just a restriction in the SEAT software, but it is the same with pretty much every headunit i know... (VW/AUDI/SKODA/SEAT, Mercedes, BMW, Alpine, Clarion, Pioneer...)
i guess it is like that because modern BT connections also get the phonebook and 2 simultaneuos connections would mix that up ...
in my opinion this makes perfect sense unless you really need 2 phone personally.
start thinking about a dual-sim-phone if you really need this.

The updates for the car radio is bringed by seat, but at the moment, seat no have updates.
Also, Seat is oferring a new model of radio card with mirror link

As a person who works in the automotive industry, I can only tell you that most, if not all updates are only possible in a service. On another note, updates rarely, if ever, bring new features.
So the only thing you could do is go to your local official VW service (or one where you know someone) and ask for an update. Be prepared to pay some good $$$ for getting a few (unnoticed) bugs squashed.

Here you can find the software updates for your 5F w w w.clubseatleon.n e t/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=118140, it's a spanish froum, use translator

well if anyone need i found a update for the mib 1 and the mib2 screens
it can update to version 480 for the mib 1 and 0330 for the mib 2

I updated my 5F0 MIB1 Unit to 480 in early January but since then my TMC Traffic hasn't worked - That's the "Traffic Button" it just contantly says "No Reports Found" but a guy 10 miles away receives loads.
Any quick fixes for this?
