Hi
I really would like to turn my two phones into one and am considering getting a one M8 dual sim but would like to know how well the dual sim functionality work?
I know the mod support is properly bad but I don't mind that if I can get rid of a phone.
It's works perfectly. Only drawback is that the update s are slow in coming compared to the single sim type.
Can anyone try to enable dsds using *#*#4636#*##. DSDS is dual SIM support, using physical and e Sims, I don't have 2 SIM cards. So maybe one should try and confirm if it works or not.
I have Fi esim and Verizon. Everything works ?.
Good to know this works. Has anyone been able to get an esim activated on Verizon? I have two Verizon lines and would love to use both on my Pixel 3aXL. Verizon chat tells me they only activate esim for iPhones.
Hey there just a random stuff want to know is there any way to get dual sim dual volte in our beloved mi mix 2
Any suggestion is appreciable
Is it possible to root this device, install some SIM manager app and to use this device with two providers in the same time?
What standard does root-ed Pixel 2 XL support?
Dual SIM Standby (DSS): Only one SIM can be used at a time, 1 radio chip. The phone has single IMEI number.
Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS): Two SIMs can be used at a time, but if one opens a call or data connection, the other is offline. The phone has two different IMEI numbers.
Dual SIM Active (or sometimes Dual SIM Dual Active) (DSA/DSDA): Two SIMs can be used at a time, 2 radio chips. This enables both SIMs to open calls and/or data connection. The phone has two different IMEI numbers.
Thank you.

I am very sure. Single mode only. I am reasonably sure the 3 is like that as well. Maybe the 4?
I've read that this isn't going to be possible on the Pixel 2 series b/c we only have one IEMI where as the other phones that support dual sim have two.
Pixel 3a and above devices support Dual Sim Single Standby
Single Sim Single Standby (1 IMEI) :
Pixel 2 -> physical sim (or) 1 eSim (Project fi supported operators only),
Pixel 3 -> 1 physical sim (or) 1 eSim (All operators who can provide eSim)
Dual Sim Single Standby (2 IMEIs):
Pixel 3a and above

Pixel 3 and 3 XL got DSDS once in Android Q beta 3 but then it was removed they were working pretty well.
I have issues with Pixel 2 XL esim. It doesn't bring the QR code scanner to scan esim QR and works fine with Google FI
I'd like to buy a OnePLus 11 from amazon but does it support dual active sims? I'd like to be able to load balance my data between the 2 sims from different carriers. Is this possible?
Or combine the data throughput from 2 sims from the same provider. Is this possible?

Yes it does. You can use two physical sims or one physical and one esim. I use two physical sims. Verizon and T-Mobile.
As for how dual sims work in Android... You select which sim you want to use data one. You don't use data from both sims at the same time. Though, you can easily pick which one you want the data for.
Both will be able to send and receive calls and texts. Though you pick your primary/default sim for what calls and texts default to.
Thank you!, Now if I can just figure out rooting so I can get call recording going.
That's not dual active. That is dual standby. You won't find any phone with dual active sim in US.
Did you need to buy a dual Sim tray?
Thanks
Oneplus has 3 sim slots: dual nano sim tray and one esim.
Tried to dual esim and sim together but some reason on sim can do nothing but text can't use it for calls since I want esim for data
Well if u use esim and sim, sim can't be Verizon
