Hi to all,
I am looking for a dual sim adapter for my galaxy note. I tried searching over the net and found something called magic sim which is claimed to work in galaxy s2 but there are mixed reviews about it. Some say that it works fine but some say that it has problems. I need your opinions and especially those who have come across dual sim adapters for galaxynote. Cheers to all.....

Thanks for the link. I had seen a similar video where a similar adapter was demo-ed on sgs2. And surprisingly on both videos the same guy was showing things. Lol....Thanks once again....
I have been using Magcsim (cut version) for my Note for months already, working well.

That was the kind of information I was looking for.I myself want to buy one but the problem is in India I don't think I can find one because searching for it on the net didn't help me.I think I have to order for it from outside only....let's see...

Man those are spendy for a little piece of plastic. Anyone know any sub 10 dollar ones that have the proper corner shelf tabs or whatever to hold the sim in the adapter ?

Very neat and complete review....
I'm using a Magicsim (cut), too.
It's the second one, cos the first one died after four month.
The embossed contacts became flat -> "No SIM-Warning in Android".
So it's a really good idea to get it from a good seller.
Another thing is, that the SIM-holder in the Note is not ideal placed.
Had problems getting the whole Magicsim (with cutted cards and coverplate) in the holder.
I've also put the coverplate shifted 180° on top of the Magicsim,
because it seems risky to me otherwise (like shown inside the manual).
The coverplate could be stuck in the SIM-holder while retrieving the Magicsim out of the Note.
For proper switching between two cards, you've to enter the flight mode,
otherwise you wouldn't be able to send any sms.
Disabling the "Google-Services-Framework" when "Accounts changed" in Autostarts is a good idea, too.
Worked fine under GB2.3.6 but under ICS4.0.3 I always gets an "SIM-Dienste" dialog...
Regards
Hi
I bought mine here. Works with 3g etc
Perfectly working and the seller is so helpful !

I have been using magicsim from past couple of days and this thing really works the way as described on their Web site. I ordered mine directly from their site and it was delivered to me in around a week's time. I am using the cut version for my note. Sim cards were easy to cut and fix inside the plate but inserting and taking out the magicsim repeatedly might cause damage to either the phone or the magicsim itself. I Have installed an application named dualdial from play store which is one touch operation for switching between the Sims.

Hi Guys.. Im using Samsung Galaxy ACE Rightnow..
I hve planed to move-on & YES to Either Galaxy S II (OR) Galaxy Nexus..
The choice i hve is Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2 and HTC One S. and the choice is due to my budget.
i know the NEXUS 4 has launched...but as for the news i heard.. LG gona either sell it for above 30k or don't launch it India as samsung did..
The problem i found in getting the Gnex is that,
1. its not yet been officially launched in the India, so no HW & Software warranty.
2. Prob in the GSM Network Getting Locked.
3. lower spec compared to the S2.
My cousin has jus bought GNEX frm ebay las month, n a week before his gsm module got locked while he try to update to 4.1.2..he says like its asking for " SIM Netwrok unlock Pin ".
The cons i hve with the S2 is ..
1. Poor design.
2. No quick android update... the current update of Android is 4.2 & still s2 got just the ICS. Dono y samsung guys forgot their device after selling them..
3. Absence of dedicated notification light.
So pls do help me buying a correct device...
Either GO for the nexus Device or the Samsung galaxy S II....
Thanks in advance...

It is strange that ur cousin got network locked Galaxy Nexus. Normally the ones that sell on ebay are factory unlocked.
I and several of my friends have GNex for past seix months and its like no issues at all since 4.1.1. If only network unlock is an issue you can buy it from reputed ebay vendor, see his feedback. As regards warranty, I have the serve pro thing but I do not know how would it benefit me if the phone develops some hardware snag.
you can get Nexus 4 16GB from shopyourworld.com for about 26k, agains warranty would be an issue.
But in any case S2 stands no where even miles close to G Nex. Galaxy Nexus is "Galaxy Nexus - sheer beauty"
1) I've yet to come across anyone with any really serious hardware problems with the Galaxy Nexus. From what I've read around, there are people who can and do repair hardware faults with the Nexus. Just have to look for them, I suppose. And software-wise, it's almost unbrickable!
2) Again, never seen this issue either. I got my Nexus running 4.0.4, upgraded to 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and now to 4.2 without any issues whatsoever. Just make sure you're buying a factory unlocked piece and you're all set.
3) What lower spec?! Apart from the camera and the microSD card slot, the SII has nothing on the Nexus! The Nexus even has a bigger screen than the SII. And add to that the fact that the Nexus already has 4.2, which the SII will take time to get, and definitely not officially, I'd think the Nexus would be a no-brainer!
gnex has a much much better screen at 720x1080p where as s2 is 480x800p

software wise dont worry at all since it is a nexus, i assume anyways you will root it ( main reason to get a nexus i presume ) so when you are rooted you will unlocked worldwide so not a problem at all
still if you want to check the phone then the best you can do is make few calls and check if everything is working, other than that i cant think of anything

While searching on EBay i found out a ebay seller who lives in my hometown...And he gives software + Hardware support or warranty dono wat he will provide, only if bought if bought around my home town.
But He has only the chic white version and not the black one...
So guys pls tell me some solution..COz i really Love the black one.
And when i went to his shop he also told me that i can get it in person if i pay the cash in hand...
I'm really thinking of this coz i haven't purchased anything on ebay.in.. i'm also afraid if bought in person i couldn't hve a ebay Warranty.. So pls do suggest me which is best.... buying in ebay with ebay Warranty or buy it in person..... ?
And when he showed me a Gnex unit it was sealed with a small samsung sticker with bar-codes it it...Is that it...? is that how i wana confirm the unit is factory unlocked or hve to do check some other thing before buying it..and i also said that my cousin's device got locked only when jumping frm 4.1.2 to 4.2 and not b4.. he said he wasn't came across such thing if will happen to the device i purchase he will provide me with unlock codes...

I do owe a galaxy nexus which I bought from US Google play store so I have a takju device and I have always got updates quickly
No problem with that because its of course unlocked
But the only problem with gnexus is it gets way too hot during charging if I keep data packets on or play games for 10 -15 minutes (sometime even crosses 48 degree Celsius Mark)and I am not alone which has got this prob
My cousin has got one from a store in Jaipur and he also has got this overheating prob while charging
I have googled this topic and found that this is a common problem with Gnexus
And this overheating occurs only when I am using my cell while charging
I am on stock but will now consider changing my kernel to under volt my nexus
Hope this will solve this over heating issue during charging
BTW any one with same problem of overheating while charging?

Its a common issue with all multi core devices! While charging and surfing or playing games simultaneously, your device is bound to get hot.

Hi, I'm afraid my audio jack is dead on my S3 and when I opened the phone I saw it was pretty easy to just replace the top part. I was wondering if the part # SAMO-I9300-05 on the site tvc-mall.com (sorry can't post link) will work on my SGH-T999V (Canadian Videotron)?
Thanks
Trust that site? No idea, I don't know it. Replace that part? I would be very catious, maybe it's worth the extra cost to go to a repair shop and let them do the job, because if they ruin the phone that's their problem, if you ruin your phone yourself in the process you have to pay for a new one...
Maybe you still have warranty on the phone? Check it before doing anything that could void warranties...
I recommend you to bring the S3 to the Samsung Official Service because you could think it's something easily to repair, but you don't know if it will work or will cause some problems to your phone. And the S3 is so expensive to "play" with it if you don't know what you are doing
No clue

Hey guys,
I am going to ask the question in this thread because I don't know where else to go. I am a little lost as to where to place this question. Don't get mad. :cyclops:
I have a NOTE II (Samsung), however, my aunt went to a website called AhappyDeal and she bought a Note3, the phone is made in good quality and it has a responsive screen with nice resolution, dual sim card slots and all that. I would post a link except that I dont know if I can post links in this forum so I wont.
I put the phone on WIFI and have been using it as a tablet all day because when we insert the Tmobile Sim Card, it detects the network fine but
when you want to make a call, or send an sms or go data there is no network available.
I am not sure that the phone is unlocked correctly. I also, already went to Tmobile and called Tmobile they could not do anything about it. I am guessing the question is .... how do I unlock an unbranded phone? It is running Jelly Bean

First there is no note 3 yet. Also probably wrong place to ask because every phone is different. I would say to try the generic samsung dialer code the note 2 uses, but that appears to be running AOSP so probably won't work. You can post the link so post it so we can try to figure out what hot actually have.

I'd be very suspicious. The Chinese love putting Happy in the names of places, especially their restaurants. They also love to make similar items and sell them as the real thing. See small USB drives being sold as larger, but with firmware that reports the larger size.
Do they even make a dual sim Note 2? If so it's possible they either put Note 3 as a typo, to get more hits, whatever. My father in law is actually looking for a dual sim S3, but I dunno if they make them.
