Hi!
My Op3 is only allowing me to set a data limit warning for one of the sim cards..
For Sim 2, it show the chart and "Set cellular data limit" option and, on the chart, the two line bars to set up the warning and maximum limit.
For Sim 1, it only show the chart, but no "Set cellular data limit" option and no line bars to set the up the warning and maximum limit.
Weirdly, for SIM 1 it show the date interval, which it doesn't for Sim 2..
Also.. where can I change the date interval?? It is assuming a wrong interval...
Thanks!

Phones with 2 sims usually only use 1 of them for data, I haven´t seen a phone where you could use data on both. You would have to select sim for every app you have on the phone then and that´s to much of a hassle for users, so you select one sim for data and then you can call and send sms with selection of sim.

Hi,
That was not the question. I know that you can only use one sim for data at a time. And the SIM 1 is the one that is set up for data connection. And, if I wanted, I could also change and use the data on the SIM 2, of course, disabling it on SIM 1.
The thing is that you should be able to set up the data usage alerts for both.
In the meantime I figured it out and I just had to have the data ON. Once I did that, the option to set up the data usage alerts showed up with also the possibility to manually define the date interval. Now I have the data usage alerts for both SIMs. But of course, I can only use data from one at a time..
Thanks

Ah ok sorry then, I misunderstood you. Good you sorted it out :good:

OK, I took the plunge and got one. Checked a few things out, then went for the ICS update (official AT&T, at least for now) before I got too wrapped up in it. Seems I may have forgotten to check out that the data plan worked before the update -- I think I may have had Wi-Fi on all the time. Yeah, it was a dumb mistake.
Now I cannot get any data with any application when outside a Wi-Fi zone. Not even 2G, much less 3G. No connection and no indicator at the top. Phone is working on 3G just fine.
I have AT&T, though it's an old "Smartphone Unlimited" plan. It works just fine on my LG Expo (which is 3G). The phone is supposed to be unlocked (at least until I updated it, don't know if that affected it), but I have no non-AT&T SIM with which to try it. Have made no attempt to root it or load a custom ROM.
Are there some settings somewhere that I have to change to go through my old "wap.cingular" gateway (either rooted or not)? Should I try going to a custom ROM? Back to the original software (link, please, if that's the case)?
I'm going to see if a co-worker's T-Mobile SIM works with it (voice and/or data). But is there anything else I should try? Has AT&T finally caught up with me and my old, cheap, unlimited data plan and my SIM keeps me from connecting?
There should be no issue putting in a SIM from a working phone. If you go to System Settings->About Phone->Status, what is the network status? "Unavailable"? "Unprovisioned"?
Do you have signal, just no data, or do you have no signal?
I have full phone and text service, just no data (though, oddly, it says I have used 9.92KB of data). That occurs both at my home where I connect to my microcell and elsewhere. Of course, at home, I can also use WiFi for data.
"Mobile Network State" is "Disconnected". "Mobile Network Type" is "UTMS:3." If I turn the data network off and back on, it goes to "connecting" for a while, then back to "disconnected. I did find the location where it specifies the Access Point Names and it is set to "wap.cingular" just like my old phone. But unlike my old phone, the user name and password are "not set". These are uneditable fields.
I also went to the place it allows me to select my network operator and it offered me three different "AT&T" options. Two of the three gave me a message that my SIM does not allow connection to that network. When I try to switch to one of them, I see the data indicator go through Edge, 3G, and 4G, then off.
Only other odd thing I've noted is that the serial number is all zeros. The IMEI is correct, though; and I think that's what matters.
I'm becoming more and more convinced this is a problem with my SIM and the data plan it's tied to. It is from an old EDGE-only Windows Mobile 5 "smart phone" when that meant a device without a touch screen or QWERTY keyboard and a "PDA" was something that had either of those. The "Smart Phone" data plan was half that for a "PDA" but more than for a plain phone, and that's what I'm still paying. I've been buying phones outside of the AT&T system to hang on to that inexpensive, unlimited plan; but I may have reached the end of the line with it. I definitely need to try a SIM from another 4G capable phone,. both AT&T and T-Mobile, to see where I stand.

In the Access Point Names make sure that the profile you were talking about is selected. Or from that screen if you hit the menu button it should give you the option of entering your own APN. If you've had data working on another phone I would suggest duplicating the APN settings from it and try making a new profile.
It could be the SIM/plan you're currently on but honestly this sounds exactly like what happens when your APN settings aren't configured correctly.
Turn the phone off, remove the SIM, boot it with no SIM. Go into Access Point Names and remove all the entries. Turn it off, put the SIM back in, turn it back on. If it doesn't autocreate an entry in Access Point Names, or the autocreated entry still doesn't work, take it to an AT&T store and ask them for help.

There was no way to select the plan. So I made a duplicate of it, which did have a select button, selected it, and it now works great. Thanks so much for your help.

That would have ben last resort. They would have wanted to "upgrade" my data plan to something that cost more and isn't unlimited.
Your solution might have also worked, but the first one offered led me to a solution, so I never tried yours. I'll keep it in mind, though.

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

Thanks for posting this, finally i can have 3g on sim2!
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.

Thinking of getting a 5T (or maybe 6 depending on timing) and have never had a dual-SIM phone. I would have one SIM card for my U.S. Cricket account and use the other slot for a pay-as-you-go "travel SIM" for use in Europe.
So are there settings or a built-in app provided so that I can activate one card at a time? I know it's possible to have both in "standby," but that's not practical in this case since I wouldn't want one of the cards causing the phone to be searching for a tower constantly -- a real battery-killer. I also would want to be able to assign one or the other for data, etc. (The particular travel SIM I have in mind will actually work in the U.S., but then I'd be paying per call, text, and data chunk).
You can enable or disable each card independently. You can choose a default SIM for calling, messaging, and data. The built in messaging app also lets you choose what card to send from with a convenient button in the text entry field. I have attached some screenshots that show the SIM options in the settings menu. I've been using dual SIM for a few days now and find it very easy to manage. Hopefully this answered all your questions.
Perfect answer. Thanks!
Before OnePlus 9 Pro I used to have Huawei P30 Pro that automatically switched Mobile Data to SIM card that was used during a call. It gave me an ability to use internet regardless of SIM used for call (important scenario when driving, for instance). It's noteworthy that none of my 2 carriers support VoLTE / VoWiFi. Now for OP9 Pro this mission became impossible and it feels like a downgrade compared to 3-4 yr old phones.
Is there any solution for this? Maybe custom ROM, hack, whatever...
So at the moment you have Sim1 with data and Sim2 without data?
In settings you can set your preferred Simcard for calls, messages and Data.
Does setting Sim1 as preferred Simcard for data not work?

My both SIM can be used for Mobile Data if I select explicitly, and regardless of preferred card (1 or 2) for data, I can't get data working in case I call from the card that was not selected as a preferred one.
The switch in SIM settings that says there must be VoLTE active on second card in order to make data working during a call from first one does not help. Simply because there is no VoLTE available from carrier.
For instance - I have preferred card SIM1 and I call from SIM2 (and need phone to switch to using data from SIM2 during a call), in this case during a phone call I have no data available at all. Very inconvenient in a car (navigation) or just if you have to check some info from internet during a call. Previous phone allowed to use such feature without VoLTE (same cards, same carriers), OP9 Pro doesn't. I wonder if it's a software limitation or hardware.
I am looking forward to change OP9 to Mi 11 Ultra now due to this... ((
My model is LE2120
VoLTE is unchecked in settings?
Otherwise, no idea dude...
Maybe check in Oneplus forums?
Hi I'm in almost the same situation like you.
The only way that i thought it can be done on the op is using tasker.
If you know how to use tasker and manage to do it, please let me know
Tasker will wait for and event like receiving a call, identify which sim the call in coming on, switch active data to the same sim the call comes in on, and viola
I've opted for the most radical way - switched to Samsung S21 Ultra. It was hard to tolerate such caveats like absence of mobile data auto switching, mid-end camera & fast-dying battery in flagship phone...
