Can you receive message from Slot 1 SIM [HTC Desire 816D] - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am planning to buy HTC Desire 816D. There is a seller on ebay.in which is saying in description that:
NOTE : SMS WILL NOT WORK ON SLOT 1 i.e. you can not receive sms on slot 1 on any sim. But you can send sms.
ON SLOT2 YOU CAN SEND AND RECEIVE SMS ON GSM SIM.
ON FIRST SLOT YOU CAN USE ANY SIM CDMA OR GSM . 3G WILL WORK ON BOTH SIM ON SLOT 1. ON SLOT 2 - 2G WILL WORK ON GSM.

What could be the reason? Is it hardware related or software?

SIM2 Not Working

Hi all,
Just got my Zenfone 2 yesterday and was super stoked, however the SIM2 component is not working. I have two SIM cards, one with Telus and one with Virgin Mobile. (Canadian carriers). No matter which order I put them in, the SIM2 card never works. The Zenfone 2 is able to identify the phone number associated with the SIM card in the SIM2 slot, but it is unable to actually make a network connection.
Anyone know how to get SIM2 working?
just update to the latest rom... I did and got my Sim1 working again!!

SIM2 is 2g only. So it needs to be Rogers (or network that uses Rogers) to work

Only SIM card slot 1 can access 3G/4G/LTE data. SIM card slot 2 can only be used for 2G service which include voice and basic text messaging (Not multimedia messaging services MMS or internet browsing). http://www.asus.com/us/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_knowledge/

I know this is an old thread but i was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this issue? I am having the same issue trying to get Sim2 to recognize a network. The number on the Sim card is recognized. I have tried switching the cards around and the result is always the same. Both providers that I am with are in Canada. One sim is with Bell and the second is with Virgin Mobile.
Are you saying you can't even make calls on sim2?

[Q] M8 Dual Sim internet sharing disconnects on incoming call

Hi,
I have 4g data sim in sim slot 1 and regular phone calling sim in sim slot 2.
Slot 1 is used only for data and slot 2 only for phone calls (and mms).
When I'm sharing internet connection with sim slot 1 (regardless of network) and I receive phone call in sim slot 2, the data connection disconnects in sim slot 1.
Is this a bug or a feature, does someone know?
BR,

WP 10 and Dual Sim - trouble with Data in Slot 1

Hello,
I figuerd out a curiousity with WP10 and Dual Sim phones. I have a Lumia 640 and 2 Lumia 950 here. One L950 has a SIM Card from Vodafone and run perfect in SIM Slot 1. Data work fine when Wlan is of from 2G to LTE as it should be. In the L640 and the other L950 I use SIM Cards from Provider Telekom / Congstar (which is also Telekom and use same network). Both phones are not able to provide any Data connection when the SIM card is in Slot one while both connect imeditaly once I move the SIM card in Slot 2
I won't care at all to use Slot 2 instead of Slot one but all contacts are without SIM card then and you have to switch all manualy to SIM 2 which is anoying. I verify that I use the exact same settings on Slot 1 and Slot 2 and I also switch back the card but again no Data in Slot. I already find some user with simmilar Problem but nobody had a better solution then to switch to Slot 2. Does anyone here run into simmilar trouble and / or have an idea how to fix that bug?
which sim did you choose for the data connection? 1 or 2
I select 1 once I had the sim in slot1 and 2 when the sim was in slot2. However, with the latest update on fastring it is fixed on the lumia 640 and it has now data in slot 1 as it should be. Unfortunatly the 950 dont take the update. I read that a factory reset can fix it !?
I was traveling recently to Poland and had that exact issue. Polish SIM in SIM1 slot, my homeland SIM in SIM2 and I had issues with getting a data connection. Swapped the PL SIM to SIM2 and it worked.
Issue now resolved with the latest update. Why don't you just enrol your 950 into the slow ring and get the updates?

Using Dual SIM On XT1676

Ok, and advice appreciated.
Have just put a SIM in the second slot in my G5. Am running a Vaya SIM (voice, data, sms) in the actual primary slot and a Telstra (voice only) in the second slot.
If i select the Vaya as primary SIM for all three (voice, data sms) in settings it works fine.
But using an app (Dual SIM Selector) to select what SIM on a call by call basis, it wont send or receive calls on the Telstra SIM and tells me mobile network unavailable for voice calls.
If i go to settings, and set the Telstra SIM as primary for voice, data and sms (needs to be set for all 3 regardless no data plan on that SIM) then i can make and receive calls from the Telstra SIM no probs.
So both SIMS are active, and both SIM slots work with a 3 or 4G card. Have swapped SIM cards in the slots and all as above. SIM cards are good and slots both work.
What i was hoping for with a dual SIM phone was for the Vaya SIM to be active for making / receiving calls, SMS and data as normal, but for the Telstra SIM to be "listening" , be able to receive calls , and make calls when selected on a call by call basis.
Now,being in Australia and having had the 2G network shut down late last year (3 and 4G only now) i am wondering if that has something to do with this??
Anyhow, wondering if there is anyone out there who knowing more about this dual sim thing than i has any ideas??
Hmmm........did some checking and think my problem with the dual sim thing is due to the 2G network on telstra and optus being shut down.
Seems under the software on the G5, whichever SIM card that is NOT set to handle mobile data, tries to default to 2G as preferred network (under Settings / More / Mobile networks) and the "Preferred network type" button is greyed out and inactive.
Of course no 2G network when you try and make a call it tells you no network available. Sadness.
So, unless Motorola come up with a fix, or deal with this in their next update for Australian phones, i think i'm stuck on switching between SIMS, and NOT having the second SIM able to listen out and receive calls, which even if both SIMs share a radio seems a no-brainer capability to have to me. Have sent a begging email to Motorola asking if they have a fix / workaround and would they consider thinking about this for next update? Pretty much all i can do, although if there are other Australian users with similar issue wouldn't hurt for them to contact Motorola support as well??
Anyone know how to set up a "shortcut" direct to the SIM config page in settings?? App or widget for that??
Am hearing on the G5 Whirlpool thread that there is an update / fix in the works and maybe on the way from Motorola to deal with the dual sim issue (defaulting to 2G) on the Australian G5.
Got the below from Motorola support today. So, fix is on the way.
Good day!

Dual Sim issue

Hi
I have an issue with my dual sim S9. Sim one is on Three UK and sim two is Vodafone UK. " Dual sim always on " is enabled but when I'm connected on a call the other sim card will not accept incoming calls. The sim I'm connected to for the call will show via call waiting if another incoming call is waiting but only for that sim card. It effectively means that the other sim is offline until I end my call. Being my first dual sim phone I thought I'd be able to be notified about incoming calls on both sim cards at the same time (if I'm on sim1 and a call comes in on sim2 for example)?
The other issue I have is that the Three sim is personal and the Vodafone sim is work. When dual sim is enabled it automatically forwards calls from sim1 to sims2 and vice versa when the phone is unreachable. This means personal contacts end up leaving messages on my work voicemail and work customers end up getting through to my personal sim. (I'm also assuming my network will be charging me to forward calls to the other network)
If this is how it works then I'll have to go back to two phones as I can't mix personal and work calls like that.
Thanks.
Me also i go this problem.. This is a very FAKE DUal SIM ! it does not receive all on both sim at the same time. Huawei p20 pro receive call at the same time
