Hi there,
Some time ago I purchased a KING OF DOUBLE CARD for my MDA Compact. It seems however that this card is not functioning in my PPC.
I am using a MDA Compact with the original T-Mobile ROM. I only partly installed the cabs because I wanted to get rid of the ugly T-mobile colours.
Could someone please provide me with some help?:
1st: does anyone make use of the KING OF DOUBLE CARD
2nd: What Rom do you have
3rd: Do I have to install something in addition?
etc etc.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards

dont know any answers, but I do have a question...how did you make it fit?
I thought it didnt fit in the HTC Magician....so I bought another and carved up my SIMs
works fine though, using Wivit SIm Status Switcher with it to switch SIMs..
you could try it, its a great app
which model did you buy? what do you mean by "carved up my SIMS"?
He probably means a ghost sim, where you cut the chips out of two sim cards and out them into the ghost sim which is normal sim size.
Hi there,
It is a model where you don't have to cut your sims.
Yes you are right: it doesn't fit that easy however with some pressure on the back of the phone it fits.
The problem however is that my phone doesn't recognize the damn card.
I am cosidering to throw it away and take a second phone with me for the other SIM. Again waste of money. hmmmmm

Double SIM work fine on my XDA mini
Hello all,
Just want to share some info, I use Almighty Bicard on my XDA mini, and it's working fine on it, just turn on your flight mode, then turn off your flight mode than you will get your second SIM.
Or you can use SIM master or SIM MAX, it can handled 8/12 SIM no. on 1 SIM card, but some time you have problem to scan your original SIM card.
Thanks, Vireman
Can you point me to the specific dual sim you use??
I bought the ghost sim and couldn't get it to work, I tried on 4 old sim cards and decided not to cut up my work sim and personal sim.
I have been looking for the other typoes which take the full sim cards.
On another note it may not work because you will need to get the T-Mobile phone unlocked to work with another companies SIM.
My work sim is o2 and would only work after the MDA was unlocked.
You can phone T-Mobile ans they will send you the code to do this for £15.
Hallo ishgrnod,
I use Almighty Bicard, You need to cut your SIM chip and put it together on Almighty Bicard. It work like a switcher, If you restart your phone it will switch to another SIM.
Mostly in my country there no phone lock from the operator, I think your problem come from this side.
Thx. Vireman
Isn't there a universal phone unlocker already on the forums?
I use this cut up dual sim in the UK:

from this user:
http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=slam1416&iid=6415916094&frm=284
Works fine. Just have a steady hand when you cut, measure twice, cut once
I use an O2 contract and orange PAYG. Some reports say O2 contract doesn't work. Mine does, no problems.

I bought a King Of Double Card for my MDA Compact. I cannot get it to fit at all.
I don't really want to chop up my SIM cards either :?
OK, UPDATE:
I got it to fit but the phone will not recognize the cards. I'm using WiViT SIM Status Switcher.
Can anyone suggest recommend a different tool ?
I'm on
ROM Version : 1.12.00 WWE
Radio : 1.12.10
ExtROM : 1.12.131 WWE
WiViT isn't likely to be the problem - it just reads the operator from your network, and the sim phone number stored in your Sim; you may not have one stored in there (I bloody didn't and thought my EVC programming was at fault). See WiViT's faq, or basically open up Sim Manager on your phone.
But, ignore wivit, just ensure you can make a telephone call with either sim. Then, switch over with STK or flight mode off/on and see if you can make a call with the other Sim. If that works, then your problem is with WiViT. If it doesn't your problem is with the sims. See my other posts on these cut up sims - basically, i think Magician doesn't put enough pressure on the back of the "mini sims", and you need to stick some paper down the back of the metal sleave.
V
PS See the thread on Magician today screens to see my Wivit type software...
Hey V, thanks for the advice...
My problem was down to the single SIM end of the Dual SIM not making contact with the connectors in the phone. I have the King Of Double Card Type, as shown in my crude mockup below. ( I dont dare take mine out to take a picture since it took me all evening to get it in right. So please excuse the picture.)
WiViT is working perfectly now, i made sure my own numbers were stored correctly as you suggested, and all is well.
The only problem is, the back of my MDAc is slightly out...but i can live with that i guess (until the MDA Pro (HTC Universal) is released)

am interested in using my 2g O2 sim & my 3g O2 sim in the exec, as i have 2 separate contracts. What product would you recommend? will the XDA II ghost dual sim holder fit/work? and is the combination of 2g & 3g sims possible? Thanks
dual sim holder
just oredred an xda exec and have the same query regarding dual sim holders. i will be using orange and 3 network sim. has anyone found out if the xda2s dual sim holder is compatible with this device?? thanks in advance
How do these work then? Say I'm using one sim for voice and one for data, obviously I can't use both at the same time (or can I?). So, when I want to go online, do I press some key combo and then the handset soft resets? Can it be made to automatically redirect all calls to the other sim and then cancel diverts when I swap back?
normally 2 sim cards go into a holder and the holder has a single sim which goes into the phone. you turn phone on and ONLY ONE sim card is active the other is effectivtly off. turn phone off and on (in our case flight mode) and the SECOND sim is active and first one is off. with some software from wivit you can actually control which sim is on/off from the phone itsel without switching phone on/off and some digital holders provide that facility via STK software built into the XDA phones. that is how twin sims work, but the main question is has anyone tried this with the EXEC model just yet???
So xiasma you could use one for voice and one for data and try to remember which one is on and which is off.
just to update everyone
i took the gamble and bought a dual sim card holder designed for the II/IIi and tried it in my EXEC, and............ IT DIDNT FIT!!! hehehe
guess we'll have to wait for a dedicated EXEC dual sim holder

I made it fit!!
I have the same dual sim card holder and in order to make it fit I removed Exec's sim card holder. You can easily remove it by pulling it carefully out. It's pretty easy. Afterwards, place the dual sim card without the sim holder and overturn it. Then place the battery over it and with little push you'll hear the "clip" sound which means that the battery is placed. Finally, place the plastic cover and voila!
nope, tried it. there is no way u can place it under the battery without causing IMMENSE pressure underneath it. will wait till they release one that can lay over the battery as opposed to under it.

Yes, actually a dual sim holder that could lay over the battery would be better.
However, it's not that bad as you describe. Did you REMOVE the pda's sim card holder before trying doing what I did?? This way you gain more space under the battery.
Hi all

No, I haven't tried to mix a 2g sim card with a 3g one. Ive done it only wit h 2g ones.
I have also trimmed cards but not for this specific dual card holder. I did it for another one that you had to switch off the phone and on again to change the active number and it worked pretty well.
Hi Demon

It's the one you have to switch off and on again your phone and I bought it for my XDA IIs I had before from the guy of your link.
Just bear in mind that sometimes it doesn't work on Exec. I mean that even if you switch off and on again, the sim card doesn't change and you've got to do it again. I don't know why this happens, I didn't have such problems with this dual sim card on my XDA IIs.
Did anyone manage to find a dual sim holder that works with 3G USIMs?
I could really do with one, but am struggling to find one

For a start that's a fake product, so god knows how it will perform.
see here http://www.sim-max.com/?language=en...d.php&main=newspage.php&down=en_copyright.htm
I have a sim max reader and 12 in 1 card, but they only work with V1 sim cards (All I've managed to clone is a cpl of really old Orange sim cards)
All the others either just don't copy, or don't copy and feck your sim card!
Nice idea tho :roll:
Hi Hollinshead
Were u able to use them as advertised , like change to different no.s and were able to make calls with them (the old orange sim cards u copied)?

hi folks,
i ve got a mda vario aka wizard. i am looking at using 2 sim cards in it. i believe the options are either to cut the sims and use an adapter. i am not very confident with cutting as i have messed it once.
the other option is the no cut dual sim adapter which does not need cutting. the link for it is below
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5831841323&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
has anyone got any experience using this in a wizard. please let me know.
HELP MUCH APPRECIATED
CHEERS
Cutting the SIMs is a dangerous business. I tried a cut adapter in my Magician once, did not work. The adapter was too slim and the sims did not get well enough connected to the Magicians SIM slot. Adding a bit of paper did not help as well, only stressed the battery cover of the Magician too much. Luckily two plastic cards are delivered with the cut adapter models that you can stick your cut out sim chips in, but they are too thin as well, so bits of paper have to be added to get proper contact with the sim slot. After a while the pressure compresses the paper too much, so more paper is needed etc etc. And that is without taking in consideration the risk of destroying your sims by cutting them too enthousiastically.
Those sim adapters in the link you provided are a much better choice, no cutting needed etc, BUT they will not work in a Magician. they will not fit between the battery and the cover. I have not tried them in the Wizard, but since the battery is very tightly inserted in the Wizard even tighter then in the Magician, my bet is it will not fit in the Wizard either.
The good news is that brando (http://mobile.brando.com.hk/) recently released a twin sim adapter like you are looking for that will work in the magician, according to this thread in the Magician forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33658. You can try to email them and ask them if it will fit in the Wizard, i have been looking for one as well. Let's both email them and ask them if it wil work. I'll post their answer here. Good luck!
h there
thanks for that.ive anyway ordered the twin sim mentioned. will let u know when it arrives on its compatibility. was only risking 5 pounds!!
cheers
hi, I am curious if it will fit and work in your Vario, I will wait patiently for your experiences! Good Luck!

I'd be intrested in hearing how you got one as well.
Terran
at a guess i would say it will fit, at the moment i have another sim ontop of my sim in my wizard, all i did was fold the flap thats use to pull that battery out to the other side and now keep my other sim ontop of the one i'm using, it fits fine and the battery cover fits on as normal. i'm planning on getting the twin sim too
that's good news! At least we now know it fits, all we have to get confirmed now is that the SimSwitching software works...
Hi rags_999,
You say you ordered the twin sim for £5 - yet the one in the link is like $27 - can you post a link to which one you ordered
Thanks
Scott
Hmmm, just got this email from Brando. Not very good news...:
"Dear Jeroen Kok,
I am sorry that we haven't tested it on HTC Wizard. Also we have experience that this product may not work properly on Pocket PC.

Well i got my twin sim today and couldnt get it to work. it would pickup the orange sim i had as sim2 but not the one that was stuck onto the thing as sim1. I think it was more of a connection problem than anything else. I only got to play with it for about half hour as i had work to do so i will have another play and see if i can get it going. It does make the battery cover stick up a bit but i wasnt really concentraiting on getting it to fit flush, i just wanted to get it initially working first. The sim switching software shows up under the program list but as i could only get it working with one sim i couldnt test how it worked.
I'll have another play tomorrow or something and if i get it working i'll let you know. i'm really hoping i can as it would be very handy to be able to swap between my person and work number without swapping sims.
Dean
That's a shame Deanj, let us know what happens,l also when you don't get it to work. BTW, what adapter did you try, so we can learn from you which one to buy (or not)?
i actually own a magician and i've always orderred from Brando. so far all the product i orderred worked as adverticed/it should. i recently orderred from them a no sim cutting, 10th era dual sim card adapter. i started a thread in the magician forum discussing this product product. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33658
hi folks,
:lol: just to let you know that the twin sim adapter fits and works. switching is fine. recognises both sims. able to use new menu to swap between cards. though there is a small bulge of the back cover. you can get around this.
anyway wil write a step by step guide soon. its simple.!!
Rags_999
Great!
I am interested. Will your step-by-guide be posted on? here? and When?
Thanks
i shall try and do it this evening
Hi,
How big a bulge on the rear casing - anything I should be worried about long term?

hi scott,
i dont think the bulge is worrying. but there is a way around it. i am yet to try it. will let you know later today

I too would like this info. I travel a lot and my company gives me a prepaid sim when I am traveling for them.
Later.......
There is already a thread on this, use the search to find it. basically you have two options: The one where you cut your sims (try not to destroy them, with me this method did not work because the dual sim adapter was dead) or the one where you put your sims into a dual sim adapter. the last method leaves a large bump on the back of the device and causes the battery cover to bulge. I tried it, but the bulge is too ugly for me and the chances are that the cover breaks. use search to find more info on this subject.

Worked for me in my Motorola Razr V3 but was troublesome in the Cingular 8125. I haven't tested it since I upgraded my OS on the 8125. But will do that soon.
the vavolo (sim clone) wont work in many countries due to the type of sim.

Hi !!
I have a problem with my Qtek S100, After a hard reset due to change the housing, the PDA doesn't recognize the sim card. Everytime time I switch on the phone it displays "Invalid or missing SIM". The sim works ok with other phones.
Thanks in advance.
i changed my housing too
lucky it went back together - this shouls not be done by an amateur
i think you much have stuffed it and not put it back together properly
