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!
I want to buy the I9192 and i wanted to know if it supports 2 sims that work only on 3g networks?
Or the second sim slot is only 2g?
Thanks!
Both the sim slots can be used for 3g reception.. but only one sim can be 3g at one tym.. i.e either sim 1 or sim 2 can be 3g at any given time...
by 3g you mean that i can use data only from 1 sim?
I have 2 sims from a networks that uses HSDPA 850 / 2100 - would both of the sims will work at the same time? (I don't need data on both of them, only on 1 sim, but i need reception for calls & sms on both sims)
Will it work?
Thanks!
Yes. Only one sim will be used for the data connection.

yes, both sim cards can recieve calls/sms at any given point,
but for data, only one sim: either sim 1 or sim 2 ( whichever is choosen by you)

I made all possible tests, it will only work 3g or hsdpa data speeds on slot 1. if you switch your data service network from SIM1 to SIM2 it will only work 2G, if you go back to SIM1 you will have 3G normally again.
hope this helps. BTW, in the Manual or user guide for this phone this feature is not clearly explained.

I confirm: both sims works on 3g but only one at a same time.
You have to mannually select which sim will use mobile data on settings > my device > sim manager > data service network.
If you choose sim2 for data, sim 1 will automattically switch to 2g network and sim 2 works on 3g.
Make sure your data provider has 3g coverage on your area.
hth
check my post on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490419 for the solution.
Well both work in 3G but only the slot 1 works on HSDPA/HSDPA+ the second slot is locked into GPRS mode and I have experienced this behaviour on 4 rom before knox samsung proctection avoid me to flash my phone as I want.
Hi All,
While fiddling with the CM12 for couple of days, I have found a Work Arround which will activate SIM-1 Mobile data connection. After installing CM12, I found that data only works on SIM2, and its a 3G connection. Which should not be the case as SIM2 is only meant for 2G connection. Whatever the reason may be lets move on the steps that we need to follow to switch data to SIM1.
Please note: Dual sim is still not supported by this Cm12 on A5_DWG variant. If you have inserted 2 sim cards, DO NOT try to call using the SIM2. System freeze will be inevitable. So its advisable to use only 1 SIM.
Step 1 > First, insert the sim in SIM2 slot. Let is detect. Couple of minutes after, Mobile Data will activate.
Step2 > Once, you see a (E) or (H+) icon, activate Airplane Mode.
Step3 > Now while on Airplane Mode, take out the sim from SIM2 slot. Deactovate Airplane Mode.
Step4 > Now insert the sim in SIM1 slot. Data will activate.
Now, go to Dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and change the mode to WCDMA Preffered.
Profit: SIM1 data works, Signal reception is stable. Call quality is good.
Remember, that you need to follow all the steps every time you reboot your phone.
Laslty, hit thanks if I was able to help you.

Yeah, it shows 3G connectivity but speed is very slow. Similar to edge connection you can say. I'll test sim 1 tomorrow.
VoLte from different service providers are going to be rolled out in India very soon. Is our Phone support VoLte feature?
Or shall we wait for another software update?
Any Custom Rom support VoLte feature at present ?
Pls reply
its supported in OOS 3.2.1
using JIO
I activate it (T-MOBILE Germany) and I can't find the settings in the menu [emoji20]
Any idea where to find?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
yes, but may depend on carrier, and it's worked since before 3.2.X for me
USA T-Mobile VoLTE works fine.
I've heard USA AT&T VoLTE isn't working yet though. Outside the USA don't know.
Not only is it supported, but you get this ridiculously stupid VoLTE icon in your status bar when you're connected! Hooray!
Yes its supported. Using JIO

Stock Launcher
Long press anywhere on the screen you will get 3 options Wallpapers Widgets Customize.
Go to Customize Swipe right Twice to get to the icon pack changer. The icon pack in the Screenshot is Rifon.

Currently you can buy a LYF phone and you will get a JIO connection with it. But it will be locked to that specific handset.
To get a Sim free from handsetlock you need a employee/retailer demo sim.

Im using idea on Sim 1 and Jio Sim 4G on sim 2
Make sire you put the network type to lte on JIO and gsm on the other one.
If you choose LTE for your other sim, since the handset can only support lte fir 1 sim at a time it puts the JIO sim into gsm. And JIO has only LTE band. No 2g or 3g bands. Hence the network drops.

As far as i know. When you choose the mobile data sim in sim cards menu. The option of network type disappears from the settings of the other one. For example. Please look at the attached screenshots.

Yes thats true.. since u told me to set lte for jio sim and gsm for other sim i was confused. At a time only one data connection will be enabled. so i guess the frequent drop is not related to that. Do u face any issue with network drop? im using jio in slot 1 and after couple of hours the network drops and it goes to no network.

The data drops sometimes but comes back usually within seconds. If it doesnt i put on airplane mode and take it off again. That works. But its too rare. I use idea in slot 1 jio in slot 2

Not sure if I made a wrong setting on my Mi A2 Lite somewhere. I'm new to using 2 SIMS from Network A (TouchMobile in the PH) and Network B (Talk and Text). The phone will only use mobile data from Network A.
I see the setting where I can shut off mobile data for individual Networks, when both networks are ON, the mobile data comes from Network A (regardless if the SIM is in Slot 1 or 2) . When I choose ON for Network A and OFF for B, mobile data still works.
The problem is when I turn OFF mobile data for Network A, and ON for Network B. The Mobile Data icon automatically turns off also and when I press to activate, mobile data for Network A will turn ON also.
I've tried swapping the SIM cards but still same. The only way I can get mobile data to work using Network B is to remove the SIM card of Network A. Thanks in advance for the help.
go to wifi & network - SIM card settings - and select prefered sim card for mobile data
Ah, there it is. Thank you!
