Hello, can someone help me with this one...i had until now a rn5 pro with 2 sim cards inserted (private and business number). When incoming call arrives it says number and sim2logo on display and i know that call is coming on my business number inserted in sim2 tray. On note 8pro when someone calls me i can see just a number displayed, not sim1/sim2 information. Even my old note 3 pro had that info displayed (and5pro as stated above) but this one doesnt have it? It was important to me because if i see someone calls on my business number i can choose to not accept call if i dont want to, but now i cant see which sim card is receiving call. Anyone knows anything about it? Thanks
Hey. How about installing the Google Phone APK... That displays the SIM as far as i can remember...
It is no problem to install something....but every dual sim including xiaomi until now has that option so i was wondering did they forget it?

Yeah well who knows what's going through XIAOMI's mind these days.... The entire OS is a bunch of bad decisions in my opinion. I'm not at all surprised about what you said to be honest. Your best bet is to install a third party dialer. Try it and see.

Hello. Is it possible to use a disposable number with two lines for whatsapp so that we are able to make a whatsapp account from that number? If no then is there any other way to do the same? I want to have one additional number but don't want to have two sim cards. I had already tried doing the same but I get a message that the whatsapp is not the original one, also the playstore is not the original one, etc. Is there any solution for that? Does that mean that I cannot use 2lines with whatsapp plus? Too many questions. Sorry I am new to this. .

Instead of a SIM card you can get a Virtual Phone Number. Calls made to the Virtual Phone Number will ring to your existing phone, and you can return calls through a system so that number shows up on CallerID. Many services also offer SMS. I've used Tossable Digits in the past, you can get a number for $3.49/month. If you email their support, they can enable SMS for you (it's not public yet). Google their name for details.

Hello there!
I'm just thinking about buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (i9192), but I have some doubts about how it uses its SIM cards, and I haven't found the answers even on the owner's manual available on Samsung's website.
For example, let's say that I have both SIM cards active, SIM1 is the default SIM, and I receive a call on SIM2. If I review the call log and search for that SIM2 call, what happens if I call back to that number?
a) Will the phone use SIM2 to place the call because it was received trough that SIM?
b) Will it make the call through SIM1 since it's the default SIM?
Another question is about associating contacts to a particular SIM. Can I specify a preferred SIM for a contact? If so, how does it work? I've seen some screenshots of the contact list from other Samsung Duos series, and they show a little 1 or 2 next to each contact, but I'm not sure what does it mean, or it that feature is available on i9192. Can somebody please clarify this?
Last question is about SMS. If I receive a message to SIM1 (for example), will I always reply from SIM1 too? Or will it let me choose between both SIMs?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello SilviuMik,
First of all, thank you very much for your quick response.
In the screenshots it looks like you can always choose to call from any SIM, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to call back from the same SIM that received the call (obviously if it's active). Could you please tell me if this is possible?
In one of the screenshots contact "A" shows a pop-up window asking you to select a SIM, but I don’t really know if this means that contacts can be associated to a preferred SIM, or if this window appears after pressing the call button with preferred SIM card for voice calls configured as "Always ask". Would you please clarify this too?
In your screenshots it seems that the each SMS can be sent with any SIM. Isn't that a problem? For cumbersome people like me, you could easily send SMS from the wrong SIM. As you've been using the phone for some time, what do you think about this? Is this feature comfortable/powerful of is it a mess?
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards.

Not without a third party app, or like i said in the next question, if u have 1 SIM always assigned as calls then from that sim
"In one of the screenshots contact "A" shows a pop-up window asking you to select a SIM, but I don’t really know if this means that contacts can be associated to a preferred SIM, or if this window appears after pressing the call button with preferred SIM card for voice calls configured as "Always ask".

Instead of Always Ask u can configure SIM 1 or SIM 2 in that menu . Maybe u have one sim for calls only and one for data only If u select SIM1 for example that pop-up won`t appear anymore
"In your screenshots it seems that the each SMS can be sent with any SIM. Isn't that a problem? For cumbersome people like me, you could easily send SMS from the wrong SIM.

Depends on your fingers i never sent sms from wrong number
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards.

Your explanations were really helpful.
In my opinion, these Samsung dual devices are not mature enough yet, but they will be hopefully better in the future.
Thank you very much!
Hi,
Obviously am new to this forum and new to dual sim phones.
I have got one question:
I see that we can have all calls be either on one default sim or the phone ask you to choose. My question is whether we can somewhere assign a number to one sim, i.e. each time calling this number it will use this sim.
If anyone knows how this can be done please send me the info.
I have tried to look from the sim card manager and into contact for the different options but can't find it.
Thanks
Hi guys
I'm using 2 sims (one personal and one for work)
For me it's crucial to know from which sim am I getting call right now (for new numbers that are not in my contact list)
Thу problem is that in MIUI ROM you can't assign color to a sim card, so the only way to know which sim card is receiving call is a small icon with sim number. Even in a normal state it's to hard to see the number. It gets ten times harder while driving, for example. In AOSP there is an option to assign a color to a sim card so when i am getting a call from specific sim the call screen is colored by the sim color.
The question is, how can I change the dialer of MIUI to a standard AOSP dialer?
I also have tried another ROMs, like resurrect - this is very good but I lack the "dual apps" from MIUI. I tried different "dual apps" solutions from the play market but they all are just bad and can't be compared to MIUI dual apps (for example in whatsapp - where i need to whatsapp account to run simultaneously)
This is pretty interesting. If it's possible to change the default dialer/contacts, how would one go about it? Also, what dialer app would you folks recommend?
Hi, I think the easiest solution for you is just need to setup different ringtone for each SIM

For me it's not a solution, as most of the time my phone is on vibration (to not disturb my wife or other people on the meetings)

Nope, it doesn't help - on incoming calls it's the same.
First of all change ur dual SIM name, Suppose A & B, now u can easily check which sim is receiving call from another no. Incoming call, miss call, everthing
Hello there;
I have been using Hauwei P9+ for some years now and I just switched to Xiaomi Note 8 Pro.
After Unboxed the phone, there was new software updates. I leave it to update then used the phone.
I found many issues, but 2 of them really shocked me.
1- I use 2 SIMs, personal and work numbers. I used to receive calls on both numbers at the same time. I also could be using Data from 1 line and having call from the other line at the same time. Unfortunately in Xiaomi Note 8 Pro, then doesn't happen.
If I'm on a call on SIM 1 and someone called SIM2, the network gives "Unreachable" error to the caller.
Also if I'm using Data on SIM2 and received call on SIM1, data is blocked.
Please tell me that I'm having a problem (software, hardware, settings) and not that this feature isn't available in this phone !
2- I found that Xiaomi uses Google Apps for Dialer, Contacts and messaging. However how primitively these apps work and look, but I can live with that especially after reading some posts here that there are some solutions starting to appear or at the worst cases, I will use TrueCaller dialer. But I will appreciate help in that case as well.
