I can't seem to send messages on SIM2 or choose how my call gets through, there is no sim icon in either messaging or in the call settings. I have H818N.
I can assign contacts permanently to either SIM - which gets used for calling but not for SMS.
Also any way to assign SMS also to particular sim for particular contacts?
EDIT: I can change global setting on which sim to use through the notification icons, but any way to do it on a per call/sms basis?
PS1: I have updated the firmware to the latest version
PS2: Any dual sim good SMS app?
Same problem here on h818n.
Did you find out yet?
As you said, you can assign the default sim for calls and sms from the quicksettings in the status bar dropdown. Couldn't find a way to make the dialer just ask wich sim to use each time tho.
As sms app i like the Google Messenger app.
As dialer i'm trying TrueDialer.
On both u can tap the sim icon and pick a sim b4 calling\sending the sms.
Has this issue been solved through software updates by LG, Or do we have to resort to using third party apps?
Nopes not yet. I still can't put a default sim for SMS. Also if I have set a default sim for a contact, I can only use that sim, which is a major inconvenience. There should be an easy way to call from the other sim.
Also would suggest using the default sms app - dual sim support of other apps is sketchy at best.

I don't find preferred sim setting for messaging in the dual sim settings on ZF2!
Everyone knows there is option to choose to send message from sim1 or sim2 when sending the message manually.
But it is needed for messaging (when using tasker or when anyother app wants to send a message from your phone).
Any one have a work around of some kind?
Thanks.

Secure Settings has option under Device Settings -> global -> multi_sim_sms 1 or 2
It even not require reboot.
I was wondering if there is a possibility if there are apps with a function that blocks calls based on receiving simcard.
For my specific situation I have 2 simcards in my Oneplus 3. Sim1 is without data. Sim2 is for with 4G data.
Now during my holiday I would like to make use of calling via Sim1 without data, but only use the data from Sim2, without the possibility of being called on the Sim2.
I was wondering if you guys ideas to make this happen, thanks in advance!
You can bar incoming calls on any specific sim in the call settings.
Go to dialer. Tap. The 3 dots options menu on the top right. Go to settings > calling accounts > click on the sim on which you wish to bar incoming calls. Choose call barring and then from off put it on all.
That should work. But this might be network dependent. I mean this sends a request to your service provider. And it happens at their end. If your service provider allows this. It should work fine.
Hi guys
I'm using 2 sims (one personal and one for work)
For me it's crucial to know from which sim am I getting call right now (for new numbers that are not in my contact list)
Thу problem is that in MIUI ROM you can't assign color to a sim card, so the only way to know which sim card is receiving call is a small icon with sim number. Even in a normal state it's to hard to see the number. It gets ten times harder while driving, for example. In AOSP there is an option to assign a color to a sim card so when i am getting a call from specific sim the call screen is colored by the sim color.
The question is, how can I change the dialer of MIUI to a standard AOSP dialer?
I also have tried another ROMs, like resurrect - this is very good but I lack the "dual apps" from MIUI. I tried different "dual apps" solutions from the play market but they all are just bad and can't be compared to MIUI dual apps (for example in whatsapp - where i need to whatsapp account to run simultaneously)
This is pretty interesting. If it's possible to change the default dialer/contacts, how would one go about it? Also, what dialer app would you folks recommend?
Hi, I think the easiest solution for you is just need to setup different ringtone for each SIM

For me it's not a solution, as most of the time my phone is on vibration (to not disturb my wife or other people on the meetings)

oh I see, so you can try to use pixel phone dialer on GG Play.

Nope, it doesn't help - on incoming calls it's the same.
First of all change ur dual SIM name, Suppose A & B, now u can easily check which sim is receiving call from another no. Incoming call, miss call, everthing
Dual SIM phones are becoming more available in the developed world, and I think there is a great use case for them here that seems rather untapped: the consolidation of work and personal phones.
At the moment, the way that dual-SIM communications is handled is tailored to combining communications from both SIMs into one place; I want to keep them separate.
For calls: the app "Dual Sim Selector" is essentially exactly what I want for calls, however it's interaction with LineageOS seems to be slightly disjointed (if anyone knows how to suppress the OS's sim selector prompt whilst not overriding the above app's selection, this app would be perfect). The critically valuable part of this app is that I can, carte blanche, automatically assign contacts from any given account (google acct, exchange acct) to use a particular SIM; all other numbers it prompts.
For SMS, however, I've yet to find a viable solution: I want separate inboxes for each SIM. Tabs within an app, separate SMS apps, I don't care; I just don't want to accidentally send one of my clients a sexy text message by accident.
So my two questions:
How can I get the Dual Sim Selector to work nicely with the dialer? and
How can I keep my SMS inboxes separate?
Dual Sim Selector's behaviour on LineageOS on my ZTE Axon 7:
With OS's SIM settings to "Ask every time": Dual Sim Selector app works as expected, however OS prompt still present. Dismissing OS prompt by tapping outside terminates call; selecting any option changes theme and information on dialer but does not affect the SIM choice, the app's SIM choice is used.
With OS's SIM settings to default to one SIM: App's choice is disregarded.
I've contacted the developer, they've pointed the finger at abnormal implementation of LineageOS's sim selection dialogue.

I have a similar issue with my Honor 5X and Lineage OS 14.1.
If I set, in options, to "always ask" which SIM to use when calling, I cannot make calls from my car using bletooth, because the phone wants to know which SIM to use.
The best solution, in my opinion, would be to have two buttons on the dialer, one to call using SIM 1 and one for SIM 2 (just like it is in the standard EMUI dialer).
That way, I could set, in options, to "Use SIM 1 for calls", be able to easily choose which SIM to use for calling and be able to make calls in car using bluetooth with the default SIM.
Hello,
I recently moved from Turkey to US and replaced my SIM. When people call me, the calls do not register at all until I receive indication that they have left a voice message. When looking at my settings, the SIM cards & mobile networks setting shows the SIM card, however, the Default for calls area is gray and is set to the third setting, which is a circle with a line through it (not SIM 1 or 2). I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of and cannot change that setting, which I suspect is the issue for not seeing my calls. Any thoughts out there on how to change this?
Thanks!
