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!

Nokia bh-505 headset and nfc

Not sure if this is the right place to post this if not sorry..
Just received my Nokia bh-505 and tried to connect it via nfc but all i get is a unknown tag type and does nothing was wondering if anyone has been able to connect it using nfc and how they did it

its a bluetooth headset you connect it through bluetooth not NFC

It says that its nfc compatible and if it wasn't im guessing it wouldn't get a tag when touched

wow they actually shipped yours from that deal?? or did you purchase it seperately?

i have to say these do sound pretty nice the bass is good, volume gets pretty loud. overall they are over decent! they sound way better than the earbuds that came with the SGSII, but they do not compare to my Klipsch S4.

Did you received a tracking number if so just check to see where it is. So far im happy with it sounds good music plays good thru it and for the price we paid can't really complain lol.. Just trying to figure the nfc out saw a video on YouTube where it connected with a Nokia 701 phone with no problems using nfc and if it wasn't nfc enabled it wouldnt turn on and phone wouldn't get an unknown tag from it just by touching the bottom back of the phone with the back part of the headset

You could always call them back and ask them for the tracking number on your order then go to the order status page on tmobile to check

np glad you were able to get it straighten out now im kinda wishing something had gone wrong with my order so i couldve added 1 more for my girl and not need to worry about her taking mine which i know is gonna happen in the end unless i wear it enough so it dont fit her head ..lol

ok , so i recieved my headsets today, and i opened one of em up to give it a try, i enabled the nfc thing, but i didnt seem to instantly pair like the instructions specified...... however they did pair via bluetooth, and seem okay, although i did have to change the original earbud ends with a larger set; but the quality is pretty clear, and seem comfortable, ill be able to test them fully when i take them to work tomm!

It took me a couple of light taps to get it to tag with nfc have to touch the bottom part of the phone right above the curve where the speaker is but all it does is give an unknown tag type and doesnt do anything just wanna know if there would be a difference in sound quality if paired with nfc rather than Bluetooth but maybe its just not compatible...

i ordered 4 and i got them -D like in 2 days super fast shippin i was surprised!

So has anyone figured out how to pair this headset using NFC?
As I understand, if your phone has NFC (such as GSII or Nexus S), you only need to tap your phone on the middle part of the headset and they will pair up automatically - no need to even turn on bluetooth or go into bluetooth settings.
Granted, they are still connected via bluetooth, but NFC will initiate that connection without prompting the user to do anything else.
I tried tapping my Nexus S (on ICS 4.0.3) and collected a "Unknown tag." So apparently the NFC chips see each other, but the phone doesn't know what to do with that NFC tag.
Any clue on how to get the phone to recognize the tag?

what deal are you guys talking about?? I want in!

Lol you're about a month late.. T-Mobile had them online for 1¢ plus shipping which was about $6 it lasted less then a day.. original price was like $50 or so. Also the phones nfc just gives it an unknown tag think it only links with Nokia phones via nfc

D'oh!
I'm a big Nokia fan, would have stuck w/ an N9 or an N8 but decided to try the GS2 this time. (previous N95,N900 owner)

Any reviews on Socblue?

Has anyone tried using Socblue in the note?

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.
anyway, it's not really for me to say because i have not even purchased one yet.

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

Did i buy a fake note 4?

hi , i recently bought a note 4 off of kijiji. i just realized that the box it came in was the fake box where it says n910 on the bottom left corner, yet when i check odin its all in english and shows n910-a, see the attachment, the phone on the left is my coworkers who got one from rogers ( local carrier here in Toronto Canada), mine is on the right side. when i try to run antutu benchmark i get 42-44000 points. the stylus looks like the original stylus but it doesnt activate air command when it comes out, i tried my friends stylus and it worked fine, cpuz shows that i have a snapdragon 805 processor and 32gigs of memory (24ish usable). did i get screwed or what? oh i checked the camera settings and its the same as on my friends camera, and it shows samsung logo during startup. i can take more pictures if anyone else needs it.. also i just noticed a tiny amount of backlight bleed from the bottom right corner where the screen meets the frame.

They look the same to me. Hard to tell, although the batteries look different for sure.

i watched this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoCdjzEDQ5U
now here is what is confusing me :
1. my friends stylus pen is the same as mine, his will turn on air command and mine wont in either. ( bad pen?)
2. my camera settings are the exact same as his,
3. i have the cheap plastic backcover and his is kinda like leather,
4. i have a tiny amount of backlight bleed between the frame and back button on the bottom right corner.
5. cpuz shows that i have snapdragon 805 processor
6. baseband version shows as a legit phone.
see attachment below i took a screenshot of the about phone section
its like a bought a real note 4 that didnt pass quality control and got put in a fake note 4 box lol

You checked s pen settings for the air command?

yes it is all on, my s pen looks exactly the same as his except its a tad bit lighter, it does not look like the fake one, mine wont work in his or mine ( the air command part, the actual pen itself works on the touchscreen) his s pen is detected by my phone and air command works fine on my phone.
did another antutu benchmark, 48000 was score.

One of the tell-tale signs that I started checking for a fake phone was A) processor (which you said was verified to be SD805?), and B) screen resolution. To actually check the resolution quickly and easily, take a screenshot, then open the screenshot in gallery, view info, and see the resolution. Typically fake phones come with 720p screens cuz they're dirt cheap. A 1440 screen, not so much. Maybe take a camera pic as well and do the same and verify the resolution of the image matches what its supposed to be as well (16MP).
I bought an International GS5 last summer off Swappa to use on ATT and be unlockable bootloader. Got the phone and immediately noticed weird things similar to you. Then checked the items I just told you about.... my screen resolution was actually 720 rather than 1080, my camera was only taking 5MP images, my processor was listed as 'unknown', and I had a random build number that there was no record of online. Kinda weird when your phone's build, when put into a google search, comes up with ZERO hits.

Bought my Note 7 from Hong Kong. Still 100% battery!!

Hello everyone
I bought my GN7 coral blue back on 1st/OCT and I'm using the phone as daily driver since that date. The unique about this phone that it's came without Samsung letter on the front and always using fast wireless charging with no issues.
My question is now how most people getting force update to limit the battery to 60% but mine still can be charged up to 100% and I even received an update around 10 days ago (130mb) for improving stability
Will not return this phone
By the way I have a green battery indicator and this phone for Hong Kong market.

Yea.... I would double check it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=63uA1YuIa_s

Although everything matches real one, unlike the fake shown in that video!
