Hi
Just installed a Dual sim card in my XDA2.
I bought a "King of Double card" the other day and it seems to be working fine.
I can jump between sim cards by turning the flight mode on and off
I would like to know if anyone has had any bad experiences with these type of cards?
Hope there is no long-term damage... :!:
Hi Frogger,
I have had the same dual sim card for some months now. All is great. No problems at all.
Have fun.
Frogger / Quenmzar: What 'model' of 'king of double card' dual sim is it you ordered.
On ebay there are about two sellers of 'king of double card'. The quality of those dual sim adapters is good, but one need to specify the 'model'.
(and XDAII/MDAII/iMate/Qtek 2020 is not listed).
Until now I did not get any useable feedback from the sellers other than buying a ghost-adapter for which you will have to cut sim's (which is something I do not want to do.
I can't see where there is any room to fit these in an XDAII? How do you manage to squeeze it in?
This is the dual SIM I actually bought. If you put it UNDER the battery it fits ok. Bit of a squeeze but works just fine.

I know of the mobileplace.co.uk dual sim. It costs GBP 10
The king of double card costs around USD 6
Now you know my motivation to find out the type of 'king of double card' I need . . . .
Dual sim on XDA2
This is how the Dual sim card is installed on my XDA2
Dual SIM Card
I recently purchased the dual sim card holder from mobileplace.co.uk for GBP12. They shipped me the king of double card, so I suppose the difference in price between ebay and mobileplace.co.uk is the very fast and good service I got from mobileplace.co.uk. However, after a few weeks my XDAII started to run slowly and then the other night went dead. A hard reset fixed the problem but I suspect it had something to do with the adaptor. Also each time I would take the back cover off the unit, even with the main battery still in, it does a hard reset. I don't know if other people experience. I really did enjoy using the adaptor but have taken it out for now
Hi, i've been looking for this here in the Philippines but I couldn't find one that is for XDA II. Are there really ones made for XDA II or you're just using the one from other phone models? I tried using the Dual SIM (King of double card) for nokia but it doesn't work, it won't detect the SIM and the cover cant even b closed although the SIM slot fits fine.
I bought one off eBay at the beginning of October. The model is described as
6220/6310i/7250/8310/T230/T68i DUAL SIM CARD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had to tell them what device it was for and I told them XDA II.
It works fine - no problems yet.
I installed it much the same way as seen in the picture in frogger's post above. It's a bit tricky - I needed to feed the flat cable in front of the battery, avoiding the battery connector, then, with the SIMS installed, bend it down flat on top of the battery. Its a bit of a squeeze to get the back cover on, but it will go.
I've got a similar one. The ribbon cable is actually quite strong. I made a 45 degree crease so that the ribbon bends through 90 degrees and folds over the top of the battery ( ithink thats what is pictured above). Only downside is that the rear case needs to flex a bit, and doesn't quite fit flush at the top, allowing some dust in.
I've got 1 sim card with 2 lines. What I have to do is different. I have to go to programs/ sim tool kit/ my lines/ switch lines.
Is there any software around that would give me the same functionality as you guys have? just turning the flight mode on and off? Is there any program that creates macros for this particular function at the press of a button?
Qtek9090 and Dual Sim
Does anyone know whether there is a Dual Sim card for the Qtek 9090.
Cookiem
It will be just a case of trying.
Can you post a picture of the location of the SIM slot location in the battery compartment of the 9090?
Maybe I can give you some advice then.
Personally I prefer the King of Double card dual sim adapters by saintjoy_03 on eBay: cheap, quick, reliable. But you have to specify the correct model as they dont know the HTC devices.
i use this one for some time now
but not for the faintharted cause your sim card has to chopped
anyways nowadays they got 16 in one and so on sim adaptors.
ah well still, searching for a way to use them both at the same time!
tip anyone ?
oh yeah addition: you do get some sort of adaptor in which you can place your downsized simcard. so it can be used in seperately if needed...
hope someone out there can help me out, i've searched for 2 days and i can't find the answer.
my XDA2 seems to only be able to read SDcards WHEN THEY'RE LOCKED. unlock, no card shows up. which means right now i'm writing to my cards with a USB adaptor, blindingly unecessary. cant detect it with pocketmechanic either.
i just got the XDA2 from a friend who apparently didnt use the SD card, so i thot it was an OS problem. so i installed 2003se. no go.
tried cards on other machines and other cards on my machine - my machine seems to be the problem.
does anyone know if there's a piece of hardware INSIDE the XDA2 that could cause this?
pls help
jo
some cards are incompatible with the device
try a search in the forum people report that sd cards made in china are less compatible with xda's then ones from japan and us
searched the forum, but i dont think those problems refer to me... i have 3 cards - a 256 Lexar, a 128 Toshiba and a 128 Sandisk. none of them work on my XDA2, all of them worked on my XDA1 and my uncle's XDAmini
I had the same problem where cards that worked on xda 1 wouldnt work on xda 2, but you say they will work if the lock latch is engaged, is that true for all the cards?
yup, true for ALL the cards. sigh, and i thot i was rid of my XDA1 (which popped up a dialog box saying "unrecognized memory card" EVERYTIME i switched it on when there was NO SD card in the slot)
I would hazard a guess and say that the problem lies with the little metal bit decides if a card is locked. I noticed that sd cards without the lock tab have a solid construction, no indentations on the edge. Why not try a piece of tape over the gap on the edge where the switch resides on the card. Make sure it is strong enough to hold back the little metal tag that is inside the phone. This may or may not work.
Quiz question. I've been doing some research into SDIO wifi cards for WM2005 and my SPV M1000.
What i want to know is, What chipset do Socket SD WLAN cards use? Is it per-chance: "Inprocomm"
Reason i ask is, i've ordered a SAFECOM SD wifi card, which ive heard doesn't have drivers for WM2005, however, it use the above chipset.
Alternativley, does anyone have drivers for this model card, or a way to make it work?
Cheers,
Tim
Hi all!
which is the best dual sim adapter for prophet?
I saw many auctions on ebay, but I don't know which one to buy..
is this good?
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...50007856399&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
Of course I don't want to cut the sim, but I don't know if there is enough room for bending the adaptor, or if it does fit well and it isn't too thick..
I also saw this one (I know that it requires to cut the sims):
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...50007376601&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
is this ok? or is it too thick?
If someone is successfully using such a device, could kindly answer to this thread putting images of the PDA and the adapter?
Thank you
Hey..
