Hi,
I got EMUI 10 and together with Android 10, it introduces some new small things that are very nice to have (on top of the new visual which is a very good improvement on my view). For instance, when connected to Bluetooth on my car, I've the option to redirect sound to the phone or car.
Now one thing that stopped working correctly is that I've a dual SIM - one for voice / SMSs and one for data - and now my car dashboard shows SIM 2 network name and status and not SIM 1's as before (SIM 1 is configured as the default for voice). Anyone knows if / how can I fix / change this?
On this topic and it was always like this, I use Google's Messaging app and it has a tendency for sending SMSs from SIM 2 which shouldn't as SIM 2 is only for data. Anyone knows if there's something to prevent this? Sometimes I send SMSs which come out using the SIM 2 phone number (data SIM) and when someone replies I can't see them because it's a data SIM only (doesn't receive SMSs).
Thanks in advance for the support / feedback.

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.

I was thinking about buy an Oneplus 3 A3000 model. Does anyone know A3000 support dual sim. Does it has 2 separate imei numbers?
Thank you!
Yup, dual SIM and different IMEI numbers for each slot.

You should be able to.
i think it has u choose, u can use sim 1 to make/receive calls/text and sim2 for data, i am not sure if u can have calls on both
You have a primary there is an option to make calls with the secondary if you want.
i have a dual sim setup. i have tried to make a call from sim one. connect to a land line, then from another cell phone call sim two..call on sim 2 goes to voicemail
sim one is my primary number so i set it up to call out from there and make me choose before a call goes out.
when a call comes it, it will tell you sim 1 or 2. you can also label the sim cards now in the latest update.
you can set sim 1 to be data and text, sim 2 can then only do data. one sim card with data at a time.
this works perfect for me since personal phone gets text/calls/data and work line gets only texts and calls.
cool things, textra app can differentiate between sim1 and 2. lets you choose which one to send out from.
i would like it to have different ring tones for each line, but right now i super fine with only carrying ONE awesome phone instead of having to buy another smart phone for work. i would have been carrying around my personal android and then company issued stupid iphone. eeewww, the thought of being a wall hugger with the iphone.
ask me any more questions about dual sim.

i too have a personal and a work phone. dual sim phones are awesome. i currently have a dual s7. i'm thinking about switching to the OP3 because it has 3g on both sim cards and doesn't limit me to 2g on one of the sim cards. my current set up is:
sim 1: 2g - calls and texts (ATT)
sim 2: 2g/3g/4g - calls, text, data (TMO)
it has a sim manager built in so you can switch this at any moment. i can receive calls and text from both sims throughout the day. Is that the case on the OnePlus3?
I am having a problem. I have 2 sims. One for data and one for calls / sms.
I noticed that if the phone just sits there(asleep), calls don't come through. I will get a voicemail notification.
Even tried calling the phone myself. Goes straight to voicemail. If the phone is awake, calls go through no problem.
I have reversed the sims and same problem.
Any ideas. Does doze maybe have anything to do with this?

I do the following,
Sim 1 T-Mobile LTE, text, data, voice
Sim 2 T-Mobile text and voice, turned off data
My settings are sim 1 data, sim 2 text
Calls come in on both lines when ever and how ever. I found that if I didn't set sim 2 to text. Calls and texts didn't work for some reason.
I do have backup data on sim 2 of 2gb.

Any updates on this behavior with latest fw updates? I'm getting a OP3 and will be using dual sim setup. Do I need to get a 3rd party dialer to select which sim to call from, associate certain contacts with certain outgoing calls/sim? I've read about several 3rd party apps for this, but hoping OP3 already has this functionality.

i bought this phone because of dual sim about 3 months before i needed it. Had a second SIM for the last 2.5 months
Well let me tell you, i got the job i was going for, exactly 10 days ago.
It is awesome, i figured out my setting finally. I have it set now for calls to go out to default to SIM1, texts to default of SIM1.
Changed to PROPER network on SIM1, tmobile has a few to choose like fast.tmobile, (e) something or another. i set it to fast.tmobile.
Your dailer will know. you can choose 1 or 2 SIM. Stock, downloaded apps, everything will know. I really like using true caller app now because of this. I now have a potential DOUBLE amount of spam calls!
As with text apps, i like to use textra for one main reason. Delayed text sending. using stock app, i sent MANY texts using the WRONG SIM by accident. I set my delay to 5 seconds.
I set my sim card 1 to be blue, sim card 2 to be red. so the dailer comes up red or blue depending on the sim getting called.
I do wish i can get different ring tones on 2 sim lines. Only custom roms can do that BUT i like to have WORKING bluetooth and Android Auto. So far i have tried Ressurection Remix, both official and the other one floating around. No good when it comes to Android Auto AND working bluetooth. Freedom OS doesnt have different ring tones for dual sims. If you find one that works please let me know!
Hey champs,
I got a strange issue with the swift. Last year I bought 3 Swifts for my wfe and kids. All of them equipped with two SIMs (1&1 for wired phone connections only, Simyo for cheap data flatrate and calls to mobile phone numbers). All phones have been upgraded to Android 6 so far. We use dual sim selector pro to do the call routing to the correct SIM, works like a charme. But regardless what I set in mobile data settings, after reboot the mobile data will always connect to 1&1 mobile networks (in fact it is vodafone) giving us one time a very high bill.
In the meantime I amended the vodafone APN to get rid of it, but this only leads to the situation, that after a reboot there is no mobile data at all. And since my son's phone is locked by funamo parental control, he is even not capable of swithcing mobile data by the settings.
Is there any chance to make the setting permanent? Is there any API call available, so I can get it managed e.g. by tasker? Is there an app available, that deals with data settings on dual SIM phones with Qualcom chipset?
Tnx in advance!
Glad to see I am not the only one with a problem, I live in Spain and use Orange SIM for data and voice, I also have a tesco voice only SIM which I use when in UK. Fine. I have exactly the same problem after a reboot or flat battery, "No Data Connection" when I check the settings it has changed to Tesco (which does not have data) Its only the data scource SIM that changes - voice and SMS remain as Orange. It is very annoying.
Same problem here with stock Android 6.0.1 Cyanogen OS 13.0-ZNH0EAS2NH and EE sims in slot 1 and 2... (one work and other personal).
Was thinking of returning phone, but apart from this problem, I really like it.
Latest Cyanogen OS update, (just installed), appears to have fixed my problem...
I updated, did a battery pull just for good measure, and with several restarts, the correct SIM appears to be selected each time.
I just started a new job and have a new (additional) number. I have my own sim in tray one & work in sim tray two. SMS & Data are on sim 1... I have been through my most common contacts and associated them to the relevant sim.
All was working fine for a few days (using android Auto on phone, not car stereo), but after an Android Auto update two days ago, the app won't allow calls to connect... It just stalls. If I quit the AA app, the call then connects.
Anyone found a workaround or even a solution? It's quite important to me....
Before OnePlus 9 Pro I used to have Huawei P30 Pro that automatically switched Mobile Data to SIM card that was used during a call. It gave me an ability to use internet regardless of SIM used for call (important scenario when driving, for instance). It's noteworthy that none of my 2 carriers support VoLTE / VoWiFi. Now for OP9 Pro this mission became impossible and it feels like a downgrade compared to 3-4 yr old phones.
Is there any solution for this? Maybe custom ROM, hack, whatever...
So at the moment you have Sim1 with data and Sim2 without data?
In settings you can set your preferred Simcard for calls, messages and Data.
Does setting Sim1 as preferred Simcard for data not work?

My both SIM can be used for Mobile Data if I select explicitly, and regardless of preferred card (1 or 2) for data, I can't get data working in case I call from the card that was not selected as a preferred one.
The switch in SIM settings that says there must be VoLTE active on second card in order to make data working during a call from first one does not help. Simply because there is no VoLTE available from carrier.
For instance - I have preferred card SIM1 and I call from SIM2 (and need phone to switch to using data from SIM2 during a call), in this case during a phone call I have no data available at all. Very inconvenient in a car (navigation) or just if you have to check some info from internet during a call. Previous phone allowed to use such feature without VoLTE (same cards, same carriers), OP9 Pro doesn't. I wonder if it's a software limitation or hardware.
I am looking forward to change OP9 to Mi 11 Ultra now due to this... ((
My model is LE2120
VoLTE is unchecked in settings?
Otherwise, no idea dude...
Maybe check in Oneplus forums?
Hi I'm in almost the same situation like you.
The only way that i thought it can be done on the op is using tasker.
If you know how to use tasker and manage to do it, please let me know
Tasker will wait for and event like receiving a call, identify which sim the call in coming on, switch active data to the same sim the call comes in on, and viola
I've opted for the most radical way - switched to Samsung S21 Ultra. It was hard to tolerate such caveats like absence of mobile data auto switching, mid-end camera & fast-dying battery in flagship phone...
