Mi Mix2 Global ROM MIUI 9 and Axon 7 Nov. 2017 Update.
Test condition - 1: Verizon post-paid SIM and Mint SIM (T-moible).
Mi Mix2: both sims can be in both sim trays. both can be active for voice call. obviously only one can be active on data. both sim gets LTE and VoLTE. when data is set to Verizon, Mint SIM connects as 3G (UTMS).
Axon 7: only tray 1 can work with Verizon SIM. both can work with Mint SIM. if put Verizon Sim on tray 2, no signal. both can be standby for voice. obviously only one line for data. when data is set to Verizon, MInt SIM connects as 2G (GSM). which might be problem for A&T as they already shut down 2G.
Test Condition -2: Verizon post-paid SIM and Xfinity Mobile (Verizon MVNO).
Mi Mix2: both trays can work. but only one can be active at one time, and looks like determined by data. when data is set to one of them, the other sim won't even get signal (shows emergency call only). but can switch between two sim back and forth no problem. so, not possible for dual sim voice standby with two CDMA lines
Axon 7: only sim tray 1 works with CDMA.
Will data still be connected when in a call using Verizon?

Thanks much for providing such a detailed comparison. I have a question regarding test condition 1. Hope to get some insights from you.
Assume that you set data to T-Mobile, and you are in a voice call using Verizon, is data via T-Mobile still connected? I ask this because phones such as Le Max 2 will have data disconnected when in a Verizon voice call.

Hi!
Can anyone confirm
1) the SIM 2 is 2G only, and not 3G.
2) what the bands for 3G on SIM 1 (in case the places I'm traveling to do not support LTE on band 3 and 7, 1800 and 2600, and I need to fall back on hspa)
3) Since its Dual Standby, when I'm surfing on the phone (data from Sim 1), will a call coming in on Sim 2 ring/get through?
4) Related to 3). If I'm using the phone as a mobile hotspot or USB tethering with the data from Sim 1, will a call coming in on Sim 2 ring/get through?
Would really appreciate if anyone can shed some light on the above.....
Thank you

Hi!
1) Yes, Sim2 only 2G
2)SIM1- GSM,WCDMA, LTE (I'm using band 3)
3) Calling has priority, you will receive call on SIM2, data on SIM1 will be interrupted until you talk on SIM2
4) Same as in 3), until you talk on 2 no data on 1

just need to wait for official updates as i am also waiting.
Sorry to hijack this thread,I just want confirmation also and decided not to do new thread .
My question is, is it compatible to flash firmware from HTC M8(older model) with single sim only?
Tnx guys..
Was wondering if anyone here with a 3 subscription in Ireland or the UK can use data on the 2nd sim when abroad (with the 3 sim in slot 1)? I'm currently a 3 customer and had an LG G4 dual sim phone before and it wasn't possible to use 3G or 4G on the 2nd sim because 3 can't run on 2G or Edge. So the 3 sim always had to have data access enabled.

You can only have data access on one sim at a time. You can switch which sim has the data access but the one with data access will have 4g/3g/2g and the other sim will be 3g/2g. I use EE and Three in mine both are able to get a signal and use calls and texts. EE is the data sim on mine and Three can still make and receive calls and texts.

I used to have this problem with my dual sim HTC M8 - because only one sim could be run in 3G/4G.
Be reassured, I now can run a 3 sim happily as second sim, the OP3 allows the second sim to run in 3G.
Many thanks for the replies! Just wanted to make sure I can use the local sim for data access as the 3 Like Home option is not very good for data speed
Looking for a clarification here before I make the jump to a dual sim phone. Located in the US.
My goal is to combine 2 services into one phone. I have a primary Verizon MVNO service that I use for Calls, MMS and Data. I want to add a second SIM, preferably also a Verizon MVNO, for Calls/Text.
I have seen some comments indicating that you can't use 2 CDMA SIMs at the same time.
If that is the case, the only option for the second SIM would be a GSM service, correct? If that is the only option, can the second SIM can only be used for Calls and Text? How about MMS? I assume NO for MMS on the second SIM.
I was considering this phone because it seems that both SIM slots support CDMA carriers. But, if you can only use one CDMA SIM, and am forced to go with GSM for the second SIM, I will reconsider the cheaper ZTE Axon 7 option.
MMS doesn't work on this phone.
When I spoke with Verizon about this, they stated it was due to the phone being "unknown" on their network, so MMS limitations are enabled as they can't identify the phone. This is because Xiaomi doesn't register devices with all carriers.
Personally, I would keep looking. SMS, calling and Data have been working fine.
Last year my wife and I took our Samsungs to Israel and they worked great with their system and wifi. Now my wife is there with the P2 xl and her wifi is fine but her system calls are spotty.
Has anyone used any systems while in other countries that could have some advice.
Google support said to clean or replace the sim.
I purchased the Pixel 2XL through ebay and currently use it in Latin America with a SIM card from my local carrier. No issues whatsoever. Might need a new SIM card most likely, I doubt they charge you for getting a new one.
New sim or try this one first. Go to mobile networks and switch to 2G/3G. Bad LTE/4G coverage together with VoLTE enabled can give reception issues.

Thanks, I'll tell her to try a new sim.
FYI, the default setting for our Pixel's is Global. The 2 other settings are: LTE/ CDMA . or . LTE/GSM/UMTS
I get this option.

I like that more
Alternatively you can use:

Under preferred network type she can change to WCDMA Preferred (3G/2G) or GSM Only (2G) or WCDMA Only (3G).
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
