Currently I am not able to find the option to use the mobile data for secondary SIM as well.
As I checked the options, we are only able to use the Mobile data of primary SIM which is a bit irritating because I was able to do it on my 2 year old one Plus 3T.
Does anybody know the option by which I can use the Mobile data of secondary SIM card without swapping the SIM cards manually?

Go to network setting and then sim cards and then data sim.
Select whichever sim you want
Thanks man. Found it.

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.

Hi everyone.
It's m'y first experience with Android on HTC device. I have two number with data plan so I want whether it's possible to switch between the two sim cards to go on Internet and how to do it.
Thanks
Only the first Sim slot connects with 3G so there's not much of a point for using snail paced data on second Sim.
that said, you can easily change "preferred data network" in "Dual Network Manager" section in settings.
Thann you for your seekfind but I don't have the option to choose a preferred network.

I don't know about 816d variant but generally 816 has this option in settings>Dual Network Manager. at the same place there is an option to turn on and turn off your sim slots. also, have you setup your Access point names(APNs) correctly for each sim card in mobile data section?
Yes the APN are good and I use both of them for internet, but for now to use internet with the second sim, I turn off me first one so I can't receive call anymore. My friend has a LG dual Sim too but his phone has a function to do it easily without turn off the first slot, maybe it's the same for HTC but I don't know how activate it.

Hi,
I've a Dual SIM phone (Oneplus 3) and I'm thinking about getting the FreedomPop Basic Plan (the free one) which offers 1GB for whatsapp data.
The thing is that I would like only Whatsapp using data connection through that SIM (even with 2g velocity) while other apps use my main SIM, so I can save the 200MB just in case I run out of MB on my main operator.
I've not found any app that can do this on Google Play Store (there are only apps to choose set a default SIM depending on the contact you want to call.
Is there any apk that can do this? Or some way to develop it?
Thank you!

No its impossible... you have to choose in settings which sim is for data... You cannot get 2x data's simultaneously ... Its either sim1 or sim2

Hi guys,
I can't find the switch, where I can change the mobile data usage from Sim-card 1 to Sim-card 2. The data limit of Sim Card one was reached and I can't find the button to utilise the data volume on Sim Card 2. In the settings it says "Standardsettings for mobile data" under Sim Card 1 settings while on Sim card 2 it says "available"?? (Sorry I translate from German here)
Bug?

I think I found the problem. In both Sim Card settings there's a switch for enabling mobile data. Both were set on. When I switched them both off and on again, it stated that the other one will be disabled if I activate it here! Is that kind of a bug? Now it's working as expected.
Hi, I'm using Galaxy s21fe running the latest one UI available, and for some reason I cannot set a SIM card for data connection and the other for calls, there's just a Primary SIM, which do both with no choice to make a SIM for just one use, it's data and call for one SIM only, how can this be fixed?
You can select the use of the SIM card in the settings in the SIM card manager, only when you turn on data transmission in the phone and both SIM cards are active.

Sorry, i don't understand what you mean
This is the way Samsung phones work - you can't set one for data and one for calls like you can on the Pixel or iPhone.
