[Q] Can you have both SIMs activated on Duos (GT-9092)? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you have both SIMs activated on Duos (GT-9092)? Specifically I want to know if you can use voice over one and 3g data on the other sim (from different companies). I just ordered this phone, I didn't specifically care about dual sim but it was cheaper than the vanilla version for some reason.

Yes you can.
They is a setting in Settings/My Device/SIM Card manager Tick the box next to Receive incoming calls via other SIM card while using data service.

[Q] can anyone still receive calls if they disable the sim slot, using i9192

can anyone still receive calls if they disable the sim slot, using i9192.
The problem.
I have 2 sim card
A = NWmobile
B = China Unicom
whether i put sim A in slot 1 or 2, and having sim B in the other slot, if I disable sim A, somehow calls just comes through, if I do the same with sim B and disable it, the calls does not come through, is it possible this is related to the network, since this only happens with sim A, it does not seem to be the problem with the phone but the sim A.
Has anyone tried this and have the same problem.

Are you also from HK? I got similar SIM cards as yours: NWmobile and China Mobile. If I disable the SIM card, the call cannot go through and it is forwarded to the voicemail.

Same plan as yours.
My China Mobile card has no roaming and so I switch it off when I am in HK. When I travel in China I do the vice versa.
I never enable "Dual SIM ALWAYS ON"

Ooops my China Mobile card has only 1 number and enabling SIM ALWAYS ON is meaningless since there is no service.
Perhaps you can call forward your NWM to CHU and vice versa when you cross the border as a quick fix. Just add the **21* and ##21# in the phonebook. Not nice but a temporary solution.

I have no idea. To test the NWM card you can put it onto another brand of DUAL SIM phone.
You can also replace the CHU card by another local calling card and see if the same behaviour persists.

I think i've sorted it out, it turns out that the "dual sim always on" function had a affect on my china unicom card, and keeps getting a read out fail if i tried to enable it, probably because it does not have a call forwarding function.
I put two different cards in the phone and cleared both cards of all call forwarding, then turn on the "dual sim always on", and it comes out normal, previous I always get fail, now I then turn the "dual sim always on" off, then use both nwmobile and china unicom, now it works normal, as long as I dont touch the always on function on with the china unicom.
thanks for all the help

[Q] Data features on the HTC M8 dual Sim

Dears,
Am in the process of researching/buying an HTC M8 dual SIM phone, can someone please advise if it is feasible to STOP Mobile DATA on a certain line (Ex: Line1) and ENABLE Mobile Data on the other line (Ex: Line2).
Thanks for all your help.

Bad dual sim management
Better late than never, right?
You find "dual sim management" in the phone's settings.
This is where you can activate and deactivate each sim and where you set the preferred sim for mobile data.
So, yes, you can easily switch the sim that's being used for mobile data.. However, the BIG restriction is, that the sim 2 radio only supports 2G (up to EDGE). So, in order to use high speed internet from the provider whose sim is located in slot 2 you actually have to swap the sim cards. Also, there's no way to automatically switch to the other network's mobile data in case you lose mobile data coverage on the preset network . You really have to tell the phone manually which network to use.
Another big issue for me is that I can't preset the network I use for calls. So, my sim 1 is for data only. sim 2 is for voice calls and texts. Remember: it has to be this way because only sim 1 supports 3G/4G. Now, when I initiate a call via voice or via my car's bluetooth unit the phone automatically tries to use sim 1 as the default for calls. I can't set it up to use sim 2 as the default call handler and there's no dialogue asking me which sim to use like when I dial manually. That's really bad, all other companies that offer dual sim phones have better management options in their software's settings.
I tried using alternative phone apps which give you the option of choosing a default sim for calls but this only works for voice-dialing; bluetooth still overrides the alternative dialer and always goes with the stock one.
I hope this helps - so actually I'd advice agaist the M8 dual sim despite it being beautiful and having really good hardware.

You should be able to.
i think it has u choose, u can use sim 1 to make/receive calls/text and sim2 for data, i am not sure if u can have calls on both
You have a primary there is an option to make calls with the secondary if you want.
i have a dual sim setup. i have tried to make a call from sim one. connect to a land line, then from another cell phone call sim two..call on sim 2 goes to voicemail
sim one is my primary number so i set it up to call out from there and make me choose before a call goes out.
when a call comes it, it will tell you sim 1 or 2. you can also label the sim cards now in the latest update.
you can set sim 1 to be data and text, sim 2 can then only do data. one sim card with data at a time.
this works perfect for me since personal phone gets text/calls/data and work line gets only texts and calls.
cool things, textra app can differentiate between sim1 and 2. lets you choose which one to send out from.
i would like it to have different ring tones for each line, but right now i super fine with only carrying ONE awesome phone instead of having to buy another smart phone for work. i would have been carrying around my personal android and then company issued stupid iphone. eeewww, the thought of being a wall hugger with the iphone.
ask me any more questions about dual sim.

i too have a personal and a work phone. dual sim phones are awesome. i currently have a dual s7. i'm thinking about switching to the OP3 because it has 3g on both sim cards and doesn't limit me to 2g on one of the sim cards. my current set up is:
sim 1: 2g - calls and texts (ATT)
sim 2: 2g/3g/4g - calls, text, data (TMO)
it has a sim manager built in so you can switch this at any moment. i can receive calls and text from both sims throughout the day. Is that the case on the OnePlus3?
I am having a problem. I have 2 sims. One for data and one for calls / sms.
I noticed that if the phone just sits there(asleep), calls don't come through. I will get a voicemail notification.
Even tried calling the phone myself. Goes straight to voicemail. If the phone is awake, calls go through no problem.
I have reversed the sims and same problem.
Any ideas. Does doze maybe have anything to do with this?

I do the following,
Sim 1 T-Mobile LTE, text, data, voice
Sim 2 T-Mobile text and voice, turned off data
My settings are sim 1 data, sim 2 text
Calls come in on both lines when ever and how ever. I found that if I didn't set sim 2 to text. Calls and texts didn't work for some reason.
I do have backup data on sim 2 of 2gb.

Any updates on this behavior with latest fw updates? I'm getting a OP3 and will be using dual sim setup. Do I need to get a 3rd party dialer to select which sim to call from, associate certain contacts with certain outgoing calls/sim? I've read about several 3rd party apps for this, but hoping OP3 already has this functionality.

i bought this phone because of dual sim about 3 months before i needed it. Had a second SIM for the last 2.5 months
Well let me tell you, i got the job i was going for, exactly 10 days ago.
It is awesome, i figured out my setting finally. I have it set now for calls to go out to default to SIM1, texts to default of SIM1.
Changed to PROPER network on SIM1, tmobile has a few to choose like fast.tmobile, (e) something or another. i set it to fast.tmobile.
Your dailer will know. you can choose 1 or 2 SIM. Stock, downloaded apps, everything will know. I really like using true caller app now because of this. I now have a potential DOUBLE amount of spam calls!
As with text apps, i like to use textra for one main reason. Delayed text sending. using stock app, i sent MANY texts using the WRONG SIM by accident. I set my delay to 5 seconds.
I set my sim card 1 to be blue, sim card 2 to be red. so the dailer comes up red or blue depending on the sim getting called.
I do wish i can get different ring tones on 2 sim lines. Only custom roms can do that BUT i like to have WORKING bluetooth and Android Auto. So far i have tried Ressurection Remix, both official and the other one floating around. No good when it comes to Android Auto AND working bluetooth. Freedom OS doesnt have different ring tones for dual sims. If you find one that works please let me know!

Question Xiaomi MI11 - dual sim settings - 1 sim for calls 1 for data only

Hi,
I have 2 sims with 2 different phone numbers, but i want the second sim to only be used for Data, and not receive any calls on it. Is there such an option?
Thanks for the help!

If u use the 2nd sim for dat, it has to be switched on, so... Anyone will call it.. Unless you use call blacklisting to block all calls on that sim...
The only options are to block all calls to the data SIM or not to give out the phone number to people. Another option is to find an application that can limit the network on the data SIM to 4G only.

Question SIM card manger, make internet from different SIM

Hi, I'm using Galaxy s21fe running the latest one UI available, and for some reason I cannot set a SIM card for data connection and the other for calls, there's just a Primary SIM, which do both with no choice to make a SIM for just one use, it's data and call for one SIM only, how can this be fixed?
You can select the use of the SIM card in the settings in the SIM card manager, only when you turn on data transmission in the phone and both SIM cards are active.

Sorry, i don't understand what you mean
This is the way Samsung phones work - you can't set one for data and one for calls like you can on the Pixel or iPhone.
