Hi I just got my new mini duo, after using Note 2 for a year. I am happy with the phone, I needed something small, powerful, and with dual sim. Some questions please:
1. I use "Network signal info Pro" with the same sim card, Note 2 shows me HSPA* 21.1 Mb/s but Mini Duo only 14.4 Mb/s, why is that please?
2. is it possible to do screen shot as it was in N2 just by swaping your palm from one side to another?
3. SIM CARD Manager - Dual sim always on - after choosing it the screen says:
sim 1
call forwarding: Failed
call waiting: Enabled
sim 2
call forwarding: Failed
call waiting: Enabled
and the Dual SIM always on is not activated
Is this correct or all the options should be ENABLED?
4. Any chance to have LED notification?
5. Is there any way to connect Mini to TV as I could N2? Seems I can't use the same cable
thanks for all the answers.
I'll probably be posting some more questions
5. No. MHL and OTG are not supported
6. I got a 32mb samsung sd card. Everything works fine till I start moving apps from device memory to sd card in Application manager from Settings. After moving one or more app, I can't use sd card, can't make a folder, can't make camera recording to sd card etc.........what the hell ?
1. mine shows hspa * 14.4Mb/s
2. feature not suported by stock, and haven't seen that mod, good luck in your search.
3. these feature have to be supported by your network provider, for me its enabled, this is how it works
if the feature is off
while you are on call-A on sim1, Call-B to sim2, call-B rejected as if the phone is off.
if the feature is on (as in mine)
while yo are on a call-A on sim1, Call-B to sim2, call-B is forwarded to sim1, yo get the option to hold call-A (put in waiting mode) and answer Call-B
4. you will need a kernel that suports bln and use leds from touch keys or something, still there is no kernel with that.
6. i have a samsung 32gb class10 and cant reproduce your problem moved apps and everything works fine.

Thank you for your replies guys.
1. Any idea why N2 shows 21Mb/s? Does it mean the same network works faster on N2 than S4 mini Duo?
3. Hmm I thought Three UK is one of the best networks in the UK, shame they dont support it
6. I have exactly the same card. the problem is still present although I formatted the card twice in the phone...........
After moving apps from the phone to sd cards, X-plore shown me many folders and files with unidentified letters........some of the apps can't be transferred back to device memory.......do you think the card is broken? what else can I do?
This is the card I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281156918962?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Do you have enabled the "Receive incoming calls" in SIM Card Manager? because when it is enabled the data transfer speed will be reduced.

Thanks for that but it doesn't help.
My old Note 2 still shows HSPA+* 21.6 Mb/s while the same sim card (3UK) in my Mini Duos shows HSPA* 14.4 Mb/s (so there is no "+" and the speed is much lower)
sorry to tell you this, but S4 mini duos supports only 14.4 HSDPA.
i too used to own a note 2 and the data speeds on the mini are clearly lower.
:crying
Edit:
I just noticed on the back of the box it says the mini duos supports 21.1 Mbps, but i never saw it connect betond 14.4 or get any speeds that may reach 21.1.
:
I believe that may be the "current speed" against "default speed", mine shows 14.4Mpbs most of the time too.
However, if running the device with wifi, then deep sleep, wake up the device, run the apps, it firstly shows UTMS 384kps, then 21.6Mbps and falling down to 14.4Mpbs eventually. It means that the device does support up to 21.6Mbps and mostly depending on your telco and the distance between your device and the base station.
Similar to the wifi, it can shows up to 144Mbps if it closes to the wifi hotspot and drops to 72Mbps quickly once leaves for a few metres.
the s4 mini seems to have lower speeds or have less stable connections in the same areas and useing the same sim where the Note 2 excelled.
i noticed that from day one, as with the note2 used to get stable h+ connection and upto 5 mb/s on speedtest, while with the mini never get h+ and the max i got is 2 mb/s in the sam spot at my house.
seeing that i actually paid more for the mini that i sold my note2 for, and that the mini is marketed as an upmarket/premium handset for those that don't want big screens, this is actually very disappointing and depressing.
i really like its size and don;t want to lose money selling it for an s3 or s4.

Did you or anyone else happen to get H+ rather than just H ? I own the s4 mini duos and i never get H+ on kitkat....no matter which stock firmware or modem i flash....and it is considerably slower the the H+ I am used to on my note 3 that was sold.
Am also Facing the same problem H+ is not showing before it was oke now its Just STUCK On H ..
I have a few question hope someone can help. Background - rooted stock 4.4.2 with cwm recovery.
1. I have a i9192 that is a Trinidad model TTT is there something I can flash to get it working on H+ 42.2mbps right now it is only getting H or 14.4 mbps was using Sim from slot 1 in my I527 Mega and it got 4G LTE, 4G, 3G and Edge ! Running data only on from at&t with StraightTalk Tablet Sim 1 ( same setting as on the mega) and prepaid t-mobile on Sim 2 for calls and text.
2. Any way to get a working t-mobile wifi calling app or apk for 4.4.2 ?

I bought my n7100 on taobao here in China, and it's a Korean version. I put my China Mobile sim card in, and it makes and receives calls, and text messages and can use wifi with no problem.
The only thing is the mobile data doesn't work. I rooted and tried tweakker, and HiNet, to reset my APN and MMS settings, but that didn't work. My phone still thinks I'm roaming.. it displays
this message "Data Roaming, You have lost data connectivity because you let your home network with data roaming turned off".
I've also tried updating the APN and MMS settings manualy with information i've found on the web.
I've googled and searched this forum and I can't find much. I thought it would be an easy APN settings fix but it seems not to be...
I took my phone in to the local China Mobile store they couldn't fix it. I took it to a local android expert here and they didn't know what to do.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If you bought a Korean Note 2, you don't (shouldn't) have an N7100. I also purchased one through Taobao.
You should have an SHV-E250S, E250L, or E250K. Which one do you have? Check the baseband version under Settings > About device page.
No matter what, you're going to be limited to 2G only with China Mobile.
You're right, It's SHV-E250S, and I'm fine using the 2g in China on China mobile, but I'd just like to know how..any help?
Baseband Version is E-250SKSVLJK
Try removing all modifications to your APN settings.
Next, go into Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network mode and change it to GSM only. Also make sure that Data roaming is not selected. Run a new scan for network operators while you're in there to refresh your APN settings to the right ones.
In data network mode I only have 2 options "3g only" or "LTE Preferred" I have it on 3g only. I have now unchecked data roaming, but I don't see any place to scan for network operators. I have included a few screenshots here, sorry i don't know how to insert them.. http://tinypic.com/r/2198djn/6 http://tinypic.com/r/24dhfmx/6 http://tinypic.com/r/2zof98w/6
Now it's obvious why you don't have data. Is this the stock Korean ROM? Are you rooted?
I can point you to a decent ROM that will fix all of this, provided you have the patience to fix it. It's relatively easy.
Yes it seems to be the stock Korean ROM. I am rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2 I'm more than willing to flash another rom. I've put about 20 hours into this so far, I imagine I can muster enough patience to finish it
Once they give us a damn Korean Note II section, this kind of information will be a lot easier to find.
Try this ROM for now, it's the one I've been using for a few weeks and I love it.

Thanks a lot the rom (715mb) is downloading now, I have tried to flash ROM's on my old galaxy nexus, and on this note II, but I never succeeded, can you please link me to a good guide, on how to flash this rom? thanks.
Odin is included in the download. If you're using Windows 7 you may or may not have the drivers for the phone, and can grab them out of the All-in-one Toolkit. Just installing the toolkit should install the drivers necessary.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
The ROM you're downloading has two files and two pictures, as well. Open the pictures and follow along. All you have to do is click two buttons, select two files, then hit start. It WILL wipe your phone.
I installed that rom you suggested, I went into settings and did GSM only, and had it automatically find my network (china mobile) selected it, rebooted, and still it says i'm roaming so there is no connectivity... any more ideas?
Can you try somebody else's SIM?
There's no reason you should not be getting service unless something is not right with your SIM or phone.
I installed the rom you suggested, i went into settings and made it GSM only, also had it automatically correctly locate my network (china mobile) and it said "registered on network".. but it still isn't working, same problem, it says no connectivity cus i'm roaming.. any ideas now?
my gf will be home from work in a couple hours, I can try her sim card then.. my sim card was cut by me for my old iPhone.. is it possible or likely that the phone can still make and receive calls, but that somehow data connectivity was affected by me cutting the card? also one guy at the phone fixing store tried his sim card (from another company) and internet worked fine he said..

China mobile have various sim plans, from local to province to national. Are you using the sim in the same city in which you bought it? If not and you don't have a national plan, it could be why the phone is showing roaming. In China going from one province to another is already considered roaming unless you have a national plan. This is from my experience back 2 years ago. Also, you best check at a China mobile shop if you have data activated, gprs/edge is not activated by default, you need to ask them to do it.
I would advise you to switch to China unicom as they have 3g/hspa which is much faster than china mobile.

For clarfication, I am in Hainan, and the card is from hainan. I use the same sim card in my galaxy nexus without any problem. I tried my gf's card just now, it didn't say any problem with connectivity, and did not display roaming.. And it shows the G symbol (for 2 or 3 G I assume), and has up and down arrows next to it.. but it doesn't actually work for browsing the web or using apps over the data network.. I even reset all the APN settings and let it automatically find the China Mobile network, but it didn't help.. what if I try to set the APN settings manualy? and any other ideas??
Showing the G symbol is GPRS, which is 2G. You will not get 3G on the N7100, N7105, or Korean model Note 2 on China Mobile.
Sounds like you need a new SIM card. You can try to set the APN manually to make the data work with hers. I've never had to set an APN manually and I've used many phones here with all 3 carriers, so it's a bit odd to me. No clue why your card doesn't work, but since hers is working fine, it's definitely not your phone.
For the record, her card displayed G, but even after messing with settings, I couldn't get it to have working data network..
Today I bought a new card, and had it officially cut to size, put it in the note II and it's still telling me no data connectivity due to i'm roaming.. i'm so frustrated
edit: after restarting a few times and trying to automatically make it register on china mobile .. it worked on the 4th attempt.. it still displays data roaming, and I had to enable data roaming... but now it works, even though it says i'm roaming?? wtf
Ive the same problem with my Korean galaxy note 2 all voice service work perfect but when I tried to turn on data it says insert Usim Card to access network please help
[Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows
Hi,
I'm in the Philippines. I bought a Note N7105 last week (not from my provider) and installed 4.1.2 with baseband N7105DXDLL1. All good until a few days ago I received my LTE card from GLOBE Telcom.
Now I have a problem. I can make calls and send SMS using the card but when I try to enable data services it tells me "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services", and will not enable data or let me see anything under "Mobile Networks".
I have tried a different Globe LTE SIM card (my son's) and the same thing happens.
If I put this LTE SIM into my Galaxy S II (Baseband = I9100XXLPX), it runs fine (but 3G of course). So it's not a faulty SIM card.
I was wondering if the problem might be the modem ? Any ideas ?
Globe runs LTE Band 1800
thanks
Could it be the modem ?

When the SIM is inserted, the whole mobile settings menu becomes unavailable, because the phone thinks no SIM is inserted (even though calls and SMS works).
UtkarshGupta suggests its the APN not the modem so I'll look into that too.
For now, I have a new problem - the SIM slot is broken, due to using one of those stupid Nano adapters, because my provider does not have micro SIMs. So until I get that replaced, I can't try anything !
Re: [Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows

Hi
I'm from the philippines just as you. I'm also using globe's LTE and recently have bought a note 2 (N7105). My note 2 works perfectly. But a few days ago, my friend who was interested in getting the same phone that I have, decided to buy one. We went to the same store hot gadgets to buy another phone exactly like mine N7105. We encountered the same problem as you. All other simcards would work except for my Globe LTE sim. It seems like its a new batch of note 2s from their supplier abroad. What i noticed about the new batch that arrived is that it was previously locked to a foreign network and just unlocked. the box also has a "cityzi" logo which is a carrier in france. the seller claims that all their units are locked and just unlocked.
but i believe that the batch i got was factory unlocked in the first place because there is no logo on the box and no logo when starting up and turning off the phone.
I have a feeling that it may be a firmware related problem. what i would like to ask if you have tried updating the phone to the current DMC3 firmware. you can read up about it.
there is a forum on tipid cp on n7105 sadly im just a new user on xda so i cant post the link. just search for it.
if you check sammobile.com there is an n7105 firmware for the philippines. im not sure if flashing it with this new firm ware would fix the problem. i flashed my phone with it and it worked fine but im not sure if a previously locked phone would create problems when updating firmware. maybe some people in the forum could help. thanks.

This is an English only forum. Ask in English if you want an answer. Also, this section is for the Note 2. Ask again in the S3 section, in English.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
big thanks to this thread! i had problems with my N7105 from HK as well but now it works fine on Globe LTE!
only problem i encountered was downloading the file which was 1GB, kept failing to download until this morning hehehe. :highfive:
Hi everyone. Might there be a torrent for the firmware file? Download keep terminating on my side. Thanks guys
Hi!
First I want to thank you for pointing out that only XXDMC3 will work with GLOBE LTE.
I think it is the SIM card itself because I have an AT&T i317 Galaxy note 2. First I wasn't able to get it to work. Same issues with you. Can call, text, but will not allow me to access mobile services.
I also tried flashing it with the modem from here (XXDMC3 (Philippines / Globe) N7105DXDMC1_modem_GLB) you can use this modem if you have the N7105
I misread the instructions and had a bootloop. But was able to reflash the stock AT&t firmware.
So instead of going that route, I downloaded this International ROM for ATT Galaxy note 2 As it is already XXDMC3 baseband.
It works very well. But I still have to wait for the activation of my LTE to see if that really works. But now I can access the menu's and H+ works on my phone.
This is using the Stock AT&T Modem.
I hope this helps folks with international phones and want it to work with GLOBE LTE.. =)
This firmware works fine with globe, but not so sure about Smart. A Smart prepaid SIM works fine, but a postpaid SIM does not work at all, not even for calling / texting. Smart are unable to explain why this would be the case. They made up some BS story about the phone being locked to Globe (a 7105 International edition !!) I was not able to test it fully because I sold the phone, so I can't say for sure it was a firmware issue. But we tried several Smart postpaid SIMS and all did not work. Just throwing it out there.
i have been experiencing several problems with S4 mini 9192 since i bought it one month back and one of these is that the phone does not switch data between the 2 sims correctly.
to have the data work correctly on any sim, all the below must be done
1-select the sim you want to use for data in sim card manager/data service network
2-have the same sim configured as gsm/wcdma (auto connect) on connections/more networks/mobile networks/network mode
when you select option one, the phone tries to perform task 2 too, but fails, thus the data sim is left in "GSM only mode" and will only have edge data, never connecting to HSPA/ 3G.
here is what i have to do each time to switch data from Sim-1 to Sim-2 (screenshots attached)View attachment Screenshots.zip
Screenshot 1- you will notice data is set for sim 1 and HSPA is active
Screenshot 2- select sim 2 for data
Screenshot 3- the phone will disconnect data on sim 1 to switch
Screenshot 4-phone will try to set sim 2 as "gsm/wcdma (auto connect)"
Screenshot 5- but gives alert message and fails
Screenshot 6- sim 1 is still on "gsm/wcdma (auto connect)" and the data connection for sim 2 is only edge
Screenshot 7- Sim 2 is still on "gsm only" and does not connect on hspa no matter how long you wait
Screenshot 8- for data on sim 2 to work properly, first change sim 1 to gsm only
Screenshot 9- then change sim 2 to "gsm/wcdma (auto connect)" and wait for 5 seconds, the phone will connect on HSPA .. success
now my big question is, does this happen to everyone with s4 mini 9192, or is it just me??
by the way, this occurs on both my Egypt stock firmware and the j2 india firmware i just flashed.
i tested a friend's Galaxy Mega 5.8 Duos, and the phone performs both steps by itself, with no need to perform the 2nd step manually.

I have had the same problem with my model that I bought in Australia. Your solution worked well for me as this is one frustration that I've been blaming on the network rather than the phone for the past week (because I was ignoring the error messages). I would hope a software update is in the works to fix this issue as it will get quite annoying in time.
I have the very same issue, plus the second sim slot only work in GPRS, and I try 4 rom before getting block by ****ing knox problem.
Sorry to dig this out but i havent found any answer to this yet.
is there any way to get a widget or a script or anything so that one can easily switch data connection from one sim to the other by one click? Or even automatically depending on which sim is in its home network?
This would be awesome as i'm hopping across the border twice a day and switching data connection all the time is a pain in the a**.
Thanks a lot for any answers!
I am also looking for answers for this.
Out on the site I work at they only have 3G towers but I have no data access on my work phone so I need to use my personal sim for checking email, then switch back so I can use work phone again.
Known issue on the phone it sucks

Screenshot 7- Sim 2 is still on "gsm only" and does not connect on hspa no matter how long you wait
Screenshot 8- for data on sim 2 to work properly, first change sim 1 to gsm only
Screenshot 9- then change sim 2 to "gsm/wcdma (auto connect)" and wait for 5 seconds, the phone will connect on HSPA .. success
now my big question is, does this happen to everyone with s4 mini 9192, or is it just me??
by the way, this occurs on both my Egypt stock firmware and the j2 india firmware i just flashed.

Thanks for posting this, finally i can have 3g on sim2!
Good morning!
I recently bought Samsung Note 2014 10.1 (5.1.1) P607T.
Because the tablet has a feature to send and receive txt messages I inserted my sim card from the cellphone. It worked, but 4G LTE internet didn't (symbol is on, arrows blinking but won't let you go anywhere just sometimes t-mobile page pops up). TMobile said the tablets have a special plan, means the moment they will turn it on, my number would be gone or I should register an additional line.
I found it kinda archival strategy, I surf internet on my cellphone for 500GB, tablet just a bigger phone. What a ..... secondary why would you offer txt/mms feature on your tablet if it won't work.
I released, since the broadband gives you the ability to actually "connect" 4G LTE via regular sim card there should be a way around how to make it work.
The moment I insert my sim card in S7 internet works without problem. Back to tablet - blocks and sometimes sends to a page where with the statement that they won't be able to give me an internet.
My guess:
Since the 4G LTE symbol is on, arrows are blinking and they send me to that page the connection actually works. How do they block me? I have a guess that they block me because they recognize that I'm connecting from my tablet.
The way how they recognize my tablet (as I guess), by IMEI, and maybe by Model and Serial Number (unless they left some other "marks" in their build for this tablet). So, if I will root my device and will use something like IMEI Engineer app to change IMEI, model and serial to my old S6 cellphone (which I still have, it's just bugging) , it suppose to work?
Any advice would be highly appreciated!
I have the dual SIM. Was having a horrible experience on calls in the US, and I noticed device dropped to H from LTE as soon as I made a call, and wifi calling wasn't working.. Also got v choppy data.
I spoke to ATT and it took a while but I explained the issue, gave them ONE IMEI only, and asked them to register it so I could get VOLTE and wifi calling.
It took 2 weeks to get a response. I just got an email saying they had resolved the issue. Meantime NO CHANGE in my service ...
...Until ...
I put my sim in an iPhone and registered for WIFI calling. That was the missing link, the thing that I couldn't do on my Note 10! Get it to register the way ATT likes it.
Once I got the confirmation on the iPhone, I put the sim back in my note 10 and now I have VOLTE, WIFI calling and my data speed has improved significantly.
So it's fixed.
(BTW I did a speed test and iPhone still consistently got better data speed, but that is probably because the F doesn't have band30)
I hope this helps someone out there!

Thank you ever so much! I had to go a slightly different way, but I got Volte working.
First, I had to call the nice ATT Agents a couple of times. I finally got hold of an agent that knew how to do this. Even though I previously had an international Note 8 working, the ATT system had the IMEI of the new Note 10 plus.
I gave her an IMEI of a real AT&T Branded Samsung Note 8 I no longer used and she pushed it into the AT&T Systems for me.
I did not have a Iphone to activate WiFi calling on, but I then stuck the SIM into an old Note 8 that had previously worked with Volte but would not anymore. After booting, I was again able to active wifi calling. That seems to be the key.
I moved the SIM back to the 975F which was still configured on SIN (Singapore). For some reason, the Camera on phone contacts were no longer present! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was previously present on contacts which indicated that Volte was not working. I changed the CSC to BTU where it also showed up and rebooted. Not joy - no Volte
So I extracted the ATT CSC file from CSC_OMC_OYN_N975UOYN2ASJ8_CL16989516_QB26837495_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5. I then ran it through lz4.exe to uncompress it, and SVAImgUnpack to unpack it, and was able to access the contents using ext2explorer.exe
I copied the OMC directory from that partition to the SD card of the phone.
On the phone, I then used Total Commander to copy the omc/single/ATT directory directly to /product/omc/single/ATT - just that one CSC.
Then then copied the /efs/imei/mps_code.dat to the SD card. I then edited the SD card copy of mps_code.dat and change the content to just the three characters ATT. I then copied the file back from the SD card to /efs/imei.
Reboot, and walla! Volte worked (the camera showed up under contacts that have Volte cabability. Wifi-calling then appeared under settings. I was able to enable wifi calling on the 975F perfectly.
All good!
I hope this may help other ATT customers.
@ekerbuddyeker, Do you still using ATT network with N975F (Note 10 International model) ?
My company HQ in USA, so I frequently contacting to US HQ guys with ATT Wifi calling. (using Google Pixel 3)
I've Note8 International(N950F) model and I want to ATT Wifi calling via this Note8 device.
I checked that this Note8 / Android9 support T-mobile US and another many Carreir/country(Vodafone, Beeline-Russia) wifi calling enabled by this phone.
If your N975F has still VoLTE and VOWIFI works smoothly on the ATT netowrk , Can you share the screenshot of ATT's VoLTE and VOWIFI working?
Your guide saying, First Wifi calling provision on the iPhone then put the SIM back to Samung Galaxy device,
I followed your direction, But no luck.
