I want to buy the I9192 and i wanted to know if it supports 2 sims that work only on 3g networks?
Or the second sim slot is only 2g?
Thanks!
Both the sim slots can be used for 3g reception.. but only one sim can be 3g at one tym.. i.e either sim 1 or sim 2 can be 3g at any given time...
by 3g you mean that i can use data only from 1 sim?
I have 2 sims from a networks that uses HSDPA 850 / 2100 - would both of the sims will work at the same time? (I don't need data on both of them, only on 1 sim, but i need reception for calls & sms on both sims)
Will it work?
Thanks!
Yes. Only one sim will be used for the data connection.

yes, both sim cards can recieve calls/sms at any given point,
but for data, only one sim: either sim 1 or sim 2 ( whichever is choosen by you)

I made all possible tests, it will only work 3g or hsdpa data speeds on slot 1. if you switch your data service network from SIM1 to SIM2 it will only work 2G, if you go back to SIM1 you will have 3G normally again.
hope this helps. BTW, in the Manual or user guide for this phone this feature is not clearly explained.

I confirm: both sims works on 3g but only one at a same time.
You have to mannually select which sim will use mobile data on settings > my device > sim manager > data service network.
If you choose sim2 for data, sim 1 will automattically switch to 2g network and sim 2 works on 3g.
Make sure your data provider has 3g coverage on your area.
hth
check my post on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490419 for the solution.
Well both work in 3G but only the slot 1 works on HSDPA/HSDPA+ the second slot is locked into GPRS mode and I have experienced this behaviour on 4 rom before knox samsung proctection avoid me to flash my phone as I want.
For those who have it, is it possible on the dual sim version that when one SIM is on LTE voice/data, can SIM 2 have voice on 3G? I have 2 SIMs with the same company but the company doesn't have a 2G network only 3G/4G LTE.

yes in the settings you can assign each sim to do any function exclusively.
SO to confirm, SIM 1 can be on 4G and SIM 2 can be on 3G? Can you take a screen shot of the menu? Thanks

The phone will use whatever the carrier gives you access to. If for whatever reason SIM 1 gets 4G and SIM 2 only gets 3G, then that's what the phone will get. The sim card looks to your phone carrier and signal availability to determine what service is provided to the phone.
If you also want to limit it to only go as high as 3G, I believe there is also an option for that. I have a Dual SIM Z5 with only one SIM atm. So pictures from my phone are going to be useless for you. But the pathway is as follows:
Settings\Dual Sim settings\Sim card for data Traffic.
hope this helps
I have a Note 5 Dual sim and when SIM 1 is 4G, the second one only has 2G as an option. You wouldn't happen to have another SIM you can throw in and see if sim 1 can be 4g and sim 2 can go to 3g? Preferably the second sim would be either Bell or Telus since they have no 2G network. I really appreciate it. Don't want to buy another 900$ phone to find out that it won't work.
Thanks

Unfortunately I don't have another one. The Z5 uses a micro sim and I don't know many people with one. You're likely able to call up Sony's sales line and have them ask a tech who does know for sure though. If you do, please report back with what you find so this might benefit another person in your same situation!
Good luck!
It won't work, I just looked up the user manual:
Selecting mobile networks
Your device supports the use of two different networks at the same time. You can
select from the following network mode combinations when two SIM cards are
inserted in your device:
• One LTE network and one GSM network
• One WCDMA network and one GSM network
• Two GSM networks
For each SIM card, you can set your device to switch automatically between mobile
networks depending on which mobile networks are available where you are. You can
also manually set your device to use a particular mobile network mode for each SIM
card, for example, WCDMA or GSM.
Different status icons are displayed in the status bar depending on the type or mode
of network that you are connected to. Refer to Status icon on page 35 to see what
the different status icons look like.
Thanks for your help. I'm out of luck...

And that is exactly the case.
One sim is 4G/3G and the other only 2G.
If in the mobile network settings you try to switch SIM 2 from GSM to 3G or 4G you get a notification that SIM 1 will switch to GSM and that SIM 2 will be data traffic SIM card.
I have Z5 Premium Dual and if I set SIM 1 as 4G or WCDMA (3G), SIM 2 will be 2G only. If I set SIM 2 to be 4G or WCDMA, SIM 1 will be 2G only.
You can not set to WCDMA for both or 4G for both slots. But you can set to 2G for both slot, only it's useless to you.
The combination for SIM 1 and SIM 2 is:
- 4G preferred and 2G only
- WCDMA preferred and 2G only
- WCDMA only and 2G only
- 2G only and 2G only
- 2G only and WCDMA only
- 2G only and WCDMA prefered
- 2G only and 4G prefered
So if your carrier do noth have 2G, it's better you use as single SIM or find another dual SIM phone that support 3G on both slots.
I add a last detail to this useful discussion:
You can set mobile data both in the 4G SIM or in the 2G SIM, doesn't matter. You can use voice calls on 4G SIM 1 and keep 2G SIM 2 for data and voice.
I have a dual SIM Z5 premium:
The worst bit is not the fact that only one SIM can have 4G at a time, which seems not to be a problem to most people. The real issue is not even the fact that I have 2 4G Sims and changing from one to another takes many seconds, in which it goes into no signal. The real issue is that when you are at a call in the none-internet assigned SIM, the other internet SIM stops working and you lose your internet connection. The only way to maintain your internet connection is in the only case that the phone call is been made by the same SIM that is currently giving the internet. And no, you cannot change in the middle of a call, since changing disables both Sims for to many seconds and the call would be hanged.
Please if any other user has found a way around this, beside connecting to Wi-Fi, please tell

Yes it is possible that you can use LTE and 3G sim in your Sony Z5. Even it is also possible that you can use LTE sim in both sim ports in all Sony Z series phones. But there is one condition that you have to run data access only from one sim. You will be not able to run data service on both sim cards. You can do this by going to settings option and set your one sim card for call/messages and another for data service only. Check Sony Xperia Z5 Manual- guideusermanual.com/product-name-xperia-z5-manual&po=570042&lang=English for details.
I just brought a One plus 3 last week.
I m using jio in sim slot 1 and bsnl in sim slot 2.
If I select cellular data on the Jio sim, both sims have network. But if I select cellular data on Bsnl sim, jio does not get network. I m using on oxygen OS 3.2.6.
It is hardware or software problem?

thats probably because jio is a 4g only network and oneplus 3 doesn't support both sims running 4g at the same time.

That doesn't matter, you can only set 4g network on the sim that has an active data connection. Suppose you have idea and Airtel and both have 4g, which ever sim is your data sim will be able to have 4g access.

When I'm using 4g Internet services on my sim1, my sim2 is on 3g by default.. Everytime I'm manually choosing 2g but it's getting back to 3g after sometime.. So how to set secondary sim to 2g and stop it from getting into 3g on H8P mobile??
I can't call through Airtel network. Robin only shows lte network no 2g. Please help. Tried every ROM and stock also. During call it doesn't change to 2g network it stays on LTE.
