requesting big button dialer for dual sim dual standby ACER DX900

I have recently purchased ACER DX900. As it supports 2 sims together, the default dialer has 2 call buttons : 'talk1' and 'talk2' enabling user to decide from which sim to make the call. As usual the default dialer is with small buttons. Is there any custom dialer available that supports 2 sims talk buttons or can any kind developer make a new one please.
Thanks in advance

having the same problem
Hi all,
I have the same problem with my Acer DX900. It would be nice to have a small tool running in the background that asks you what SIM to use after you pressed the "call-button".
For example, if you call a contact within SPB Mobile Shell, there is no way to select SIM1 or SIM2.
It would be great if someone has a clever solution.
Thank you in advance.

I'm actually going to have a dual sim for the first time in the end of this month. If its registry-based (and will probably be) I'll do a Flash app or a WM6.5 plugin to toogle cards.

as of now, there is no wm6.5 rom for dx900. hopefully you can make one
as for the dialer i am not sure if it's registry based, but the sms sending definitely is. i've already mase a simple switcher for it.

oh i didnt knew it could be so compartmentalized, i thought that one HAD to be inactive so that the other could run....

Dear tWolf
how 's the progress? Did you get Dx900?

Sorry, I completly forgot about this... I wanted to use my ISP offer to have a 3G connection with free slow internet, but I ended up changing to another operator where I have free limited internet.

That means no more dialer for dual sim dx900.
So sad..

Any news about it?

i dialer for Acer dx900
can someone of the tech masters on this site tell me how I can have large dial pad on my Acer dx900. you know idialer will 2 sim selection ? please

not many help
got this device (DX900) from 2 days, but i must admit, suport for this is poor like hell. From 2 yeras I have also Kaiser and every 4-5 months my phone changed drasticly because of ROM cookers. Unfortunately I had enough to take my 2 phones everytime and uodate them both, so thats why dual sim is better even without so many features like on Kaiser

I want a big dialer too can anyone make this happen please ?

Any solution?

standard telephone dialer and dual SIM dialer
Can you please tell me where to find information about Android standard telephone dialer? Where is this software and function? I assume this is part of the telephone manager?
Can you please tell me the technique and software to make dual SIM work? Where can I find info?
Thank you.

[Q] Looking to Purchase a G4 and I Had Some Qeustions

Which variant should I get? I just walked out of the store (Almost bought one) and they are telling me that it's a dual SIM. I honestly like the idea but I have several requirements which my next several questions are about.
Is ROOT, Busybox and a custom recovery available for this device?
In relation to question 2, is Xposed available for this device?
Is a reliable call recorder available? I badly need this since I speak to a lot of clients and recording my conversations with them helps me when I forget something that I discuss with them.
Is there an available kernel that will allow me to tweak the volume of the headset (much like Boeffla for those who have experience in this)?
Looking forward to your answers mates! Thanks!
Edit1 - How do I edit the title? Spelling mistake

1. the one which offers warranty in your country. is warranty available for both variants where you are ?
where i am there is only the dual sim and its a variant on dual sims available elsewhere. dual sim means no wireless charging possible at all. dual sim means only one sim can be used at a time because G4 dual sim is a dual standby not dual active ie it only has one radio and not two. So the other sim goes into standby if you use it all that is.
There is another point, whether you have 4g service in your country or not and whether it can support voice and data at the same time on one sim. Where i am 4g cannot (no VoLTE from the carrier) only 3g can. so if on 3g data, and get a call then i get the call and data stops but if i'm on 4g data then the caller gets a busy signal if using data at the time they called. Conversely if i get the call then i cannot browse the net while on the call (!)
This is where dual sim comes in. they can call the voice number (set up to forward to the other sim) and the data stops otherwise can continue to enjoy data at 4g speed.
In effect this means if you want to use 4g you need a second sim due to lack of VoLTE. otherwise put up with the slower speed of 3G and use just one sim.
2. root can be injected, there is no recovery available as bootloader unlock is not yet available for any variant besides the euro h815.
3. yes but its not completely stable. some modules work others don't. i'd give this some more time.
4. there is one in the stock but otherwise try ACR, it works quite well for me with another device.
5. not yet. this will only happen when botloader unlock becomes more widespread.

1. I'm unsure. I'd have to go back to the store and ask. I beleive(from experience) you cannot use voice and data at the same time on my carrier(s).
2. Read about that a bit, and from my understanding, the dual SIM is the H818, which I haven't found a root for. (This is honestly most likely a dealbreaker for me) But should I be expecting a reliable root and bootloader unlock soon?
3. I think this is applicable for all Xposed for 5.x and above no?
4. That's pretty neat that LG has one in built. I may not need root if this is the case. I'd have to check which applications use root and see if they are absolutely necessary.
5. Sounds good.
Quick question that I forgot to ask about though, I use AirDroid to manage, send and delete SMS from my device as it's a lot easier to do this on a computer screen. When I updated to KK/LP on my device, a whole plethora of problems arose such as not being able to delete/send SMS if an application was not the default SMS app.
In addition, I use Avast Anti Theft which heavily relies on SMS Commands. Is it still the case today?
Sincerely appreciate the well informed response mate

H818 has root for both dual sim variants. Check the dual sim thread in general. roosta has been doing a good job with it.

ACR does not need root, which device do you use now, try it with that.

Well, I went ahead and done it. I just got my device
Checking it out now. In fact, I already posted a question there about the root.
Well, I suppose I'll be finding out the rest soon enough.
Can't located the inbuilt call recorder though. Any directions as to where I can find it?

Oh, it's a voice recorder that you need to turn on manually? Will check out ACR and see if it works okay on the device. So much stuff to look at and migrate. Just spent the last 2-3 hours on migrating my data.
Thanks for all your help matey. You seriously helped convince me to buy this device.

Mi Max Helium strange Sim-Card Behaviour

I own a Mi Max Helium and from the first day I use it with open bootloader and Custom Roms.
After 4 Weeks of using the strange things began:
- I lost network sometimes, but most of the times it was back in seconds. (once or twice a day)
- then randomly the MiMax said there is no sim card installed. Ok reboot phone and everything was okay. (once or twice a day)
- then it happened every hour
- and then sometimes after some hours or some minutes - not replicatable
- as a last step rebooting the phone doesn´t help. I have to kick out the Sim, wait some seconds and put it in again
Ok I thought it was a fault with the custom roms.
Made a real big factory reset with mi flash tool and cleaned the whole phone like a new device after the delivery.
After the first reboot it wasn´t able to find any simcard (IMEI und EFS was okay), so I thought phone or SimCard has a defect.
Took a simcard from my girlfriend - everything was working fine. Took my simcard in the MiMax and curiously everything was working fine
Flashed Xenon HD Custom Rom and everything worked well the last 4 Weeks and now the whole Sh*t begins again in the same way like described above.
Wtf is that behaviour? Can anybody report similar things?
Using SIM-Slot 1 or SIM-Slot 2 makes no difference. Its not logical or reproducible for me

T-Mobile? There has been reports not only fo Mi Max but One Plus X and some other Chinese brands killing particular tipes of T-Mobile sim cards by constantly trying to write on them. Sounds exactly what you are describing.
Solution is call T-Mobile, they know the issue and should replace sim card with the right tipe.

Interesting. No I´m using a german multiple provider called 1&1 and they use Vodafone D2 Network here.
They also use Telefonica (ePlus & O2), but the reason for that behaviour could be the same. I will call my provider and hope the know similar cases.
Thanks for the advice so far :good:

Well I share you problem I am.from Chile and this started to happen after updating to official ROM 8.2.3.0
I tried for months to find a fix but in the end I've noticed in my country all operators started using 4g band 28 (700mhz aggregation) band is not compatible with my Max prime (helium)
This doesn't explain why the card is lost until rebooting the Phone though.
A good thing is to set auto turn off in security app at 7:00am then enable auto turn on at 7:10 am this way your phone will work in the morning and not lose any important phone calls.
Check out this thread
Do you have any similar symptoms? Can you search for networks manually? I can't

Try cleaning the sim card with acetone.

travel problems with lineage: gps and mobile data

dear community,
we have two identical wiley fox swift with lineage os 15 (crackling), working fine for years since cyanogen and LOS14.
traveling from europe to panama showed us following problems:
we could not use a sim card from panama to use mobile data. we tried changing slots, only using one sim, having everything checked by local customer support. the sim worked fine one someones phone with android firmware, also from europe.
I found out that it might have something to do with "baseband". as this is beyond my understanding, i hope for your help. will the problem solve when I upgrade ot LOS 16?
related to the mobile-data-issue is the gps issue. I only can use gps with mobile data. i checked with google maps and maps.me.
the "gps test" app always finds and uses sattelites, even in flight mode with only gps on.
these issues make the LOS quiet unhandy for travelling.
any recommendations.
I hope this post is ok, as this is my first one.
kind regards
regina

Question Using LTE version in other countries

Hello.
I am living in Norway and I have the opportunity to get the Pixel watch from the UK.
Will it be restricted here so just basic functionality like notifications and health tracking will work, or can I take use of e-sim, and google pay?
Maybe there is a way to spoof it if ever it is restricted?
Thanks in advance!
Update: I got it working with help from @lxrable , all kudos to him!
lxrable said:
Hello! I live in Sweden and i got LTE working on the Pixel Watch. I am using the carrier Telenor.
Ordered a esim from a supported carrier/country. (Vodafone De Pay as you go free esim)
Activated the eSim, and restarted my phone making sure I had connection with the supported carrier.
Launched the Pixel Watch App in my phone.
Went into the eSim/Carrier section and clicked on setting up the connection with the supported carrier.
Changed to the phone settings, and deactivated the temporary eSim and activated my primary eSim
Switched back to the Pixel Watch App, with the request to scan a QR code still active.
Scanned the QR-kod I got for smartwatch at Telenor SE

Ok. Can you elaborate what you did? And did you get LTE to work?

Hello again. I recieved my LTE Watch today.
When it come to adding E-sim to the watch it only say "set up your mobile service", but there is nothing to click after that. Seems some options should show up under the text. I talked to my provider and they said it should work.
Secondly I added my card succesfully to Google pay, but when I open Google wallet on the watch it says it's not supported in my country. Google pay on wearos should be available in Norway so can this be because of the watch not being sold in Norway?
After tinkering with the watch and the phone, I made Google Pay work by clearing data on wallet app on watch. (I did try it before, but didn't do anything then)

Has anybody been able to setup the esim in an unsupported country?
I have an esim for my Pixel watch but like others, the page to set it up in the app is blank.

Hi @hippos78 , i live in Italy too!! How did you setup the esim? I have Tim...

I was able to order an eSIM from Vodafone Germany (pay as you go, 0€).
After adding the eSIM to my phone I was able to scan the QR code of my unsupported carrier successfully.
However, my carrier requires custom APN settings, and I don't know how I can change them, so I can call, but I have no data connection.
Does anyone have any idea how I can change the APN settings on the Pixel Watch?

Good idea with the Vodafone eSim! I will do some testing when I get home in a week!

Italy here.
GPay works wonders, no way to put an eSim or another plan on it.
I have Vodafone (IT) which has a secondary plan for watches, but even after activating it, the page in the app is blank.

Did you manage to solve the APN settings problem? Can you tell me how can you get a QR or SM-DP+ code for the multipoint/ multidevice sim service, I could only get a QR for the esim which can be used in only 1 device.

Have been trying with TIM for a week. No progress yet. We can't get a QR for the multisim in Italy. Best solution so far is to use a very mobile esim on your watch (no problem with APN but different number so no calls unless watch is connected).

How you guys got those pre-paid esims from other countries? Did you actually went there? I can't see any option to send those abroad... :O (sending this from Poland, while nearest "supported" countries are DE & GB)
