Hello,
is there any possibility to know what sim of a dual sim is activated???
i want to write a plugin (homescreen eg.) that shows me ok sim 1 or sim 2 ...
maybe there's an internal sim serial or so that we can readout the phone and use??
please help
thx steve
I had the same thought when I got mine.
I just use phonealarm - the scroller can be set up to display the current phone number.
Takes a couple of minutes to update, but works well.
Folks
Can I ask which dual sim adaptor are you using with your Hermes, and which networks?

Dual sim adaptor 10th generation (with Sim Tool Kit) and two 64k or more SIM cards, network doesn't matter.

but how can i read out that volume in programming???
the sim swichter tools is very unstable...
i only want 1line in today wheres the nr. displayed nothing more..
can someone help ??
please+
If you want to program yourself...
I saw many apps showing IMSI code of the SIM. This code is unique for each SIM.
...
anyone knows a programm that reads such fings? and shows on home screen??
or is there any app available that reads out the phone nr. of the sim and shows on home screen??
steve
Apologies for delay in replying.
PhoneAlarm does do what you want, you just need a skin with a scroller region. Not all skins have them, including the ones you get by default. Try the SWIIQVGA or HGS6 skins. You'll also need to go into config to set the Telephone # as being displayed in the scroller.
You can create your own skins too. If you want you can create a skin with only a scroller region and set it to only display the tel # I suppose. Should be able to set the size of the text too.
BTW I use the sam as Pof. Works OK, if you can overcome your fear of taking a pair of scissors to your SIM cards.
I have a Vodafone's TWIN sim card in which I have 2 different numbers: professional number and private number.
I am not concious about what SIM I have switched on in every specific moments so I am spending my money in professional calls and viceversa.
Everytime I want to change from one number to the other I have 2 possibilities:
1.- Turn off and Turn on the Phone in Comm Manager and enter PIN
2.- Use STK Service, selece which number I want ot switch on and enter PIN
I have been searching for a long time a program that changes the Wallpaper (or that writes anything in the main screen) based on the SIM I have switched on so I can be aware about what is the current active SIM at every moment. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything yet.
Also, is there any program to turn off and then turn on the phone with just one click as I am using it very often? Something to switch between sims in a TWIN sim card without entering the PIN?
Could anybody give me any idea? Any program that could help me for some of the mentioned purposes? Any forum in where I could continue my search?
Thank you very much in advance...
for no pin just take the pin of the sim card from the sim card settings. A nokia phone may help you...
Is not there anybody who can help me a little more?
Thank you in advance.....

I have the same situation!!! So I'm also interrested!
i have a g1 but it doesnt made the unlock code request.
and it show a message
NO SIM CARD have NO SERVICE.
the sim is working perfectly on another phone.
how can i check the sim card reader..?
or any tip....
no body...????? heeeeeeeeeeeeelp....
Go to Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.
Select the new network, and you'll be prompted for the code.
Also (for your silly simple checks) ensure the sim card is inserted in the correct orientation.. the key on the sim needs to match the diagram on top of the sim slot.

Unless something's broken, it won't even be able to go in backwards. The key cut needs to be in the right place in order for the BATTERY to be installed.

Why so it is (my fault for never actually trying.. had someone say they tried backwards [and it failed] but they also previously opened the phone without the right tools and the plastic of the battery case was a bit of a mess..)
hi to all, thank you by your help.. but i still with the same problem.
1. the sim is install in the correct positions
2. if i try to search my network it show,,,
your sim card does not allow a connection to this network, and never ask for the sin network unlock PIN
3. i installed 3 or 4 diferents sim and the same history, doesnt asl for sim network unlick pin
i found this link.

i try all but noting...
hello, me too i try to use my but i can't when i put the sim card it always shows "no sim card in phone" now what can i do to display the enter code screen?
food for thought
Just curious, have you gone to Settings-Applications-Manage Applications and searched for Google Apps and cleared the cache.
I had a similar issue with the unlock screen and my calls never ring through, they went right to voice mail. I cleared the cache and that resolved the issue. Not sure if it will take care of the network issue, but give it a try.
any update about..???? no body know the problem..?
Hey guys, strange problem:
Got a Telus LG Optimus 7. Want to unlock it to Rogers. Got the unlock code, however when I use my Rogers SIM the Optimus asks for a 'PUK' number.
Long story short, I called Rogers, they gave me the PUK for my SIM. When I enter it I get 'SIM Error'. So I went to a Rogers store and got a new SIM card with a new PUK--same error. Tried someone else's Roger's SIM--still asks for PUK.
I called around, no one has any idea what's going on. Google can barely help. Telus tells me I have to pay $50 to get it off their network, but I can't trust the rep knew what the problem was and they won't just give me an unlock code I already have. A 'cell phone repair shop' tells me LG phones are impossible to unlock anyway (? really?). So my question is:
How do I unlock this phone? What kind of security is this (could the PUK refer to someother other than a SIM's PUK)? Anyone have experience unlocking a Telus Optimus? Can I flash this thing and see if it'll bypass the PUK part?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Other wise I have to try and resell this phone.
So, I re-flashed the phone anyway, just to see if it works.
Now it's a little different. Now it asks for a PUK and once I enter that it tells me to create a PIN. When I do it says SIM ERROR! So while I can get a little farther it still errors out!
I've tried both the Telus flash and the Mexico flash.
So if it's not the firmware, what could be causing this?!
PIN & PUK security depends on SIM card functionality, in this case phone software is transparent and does not verify PIN. IMHO it looks like incompatibility between SIM card and WP7 phone or strange configured SIM card. Try on another non-WP7 phone, maybe if you set or disable PIN code card will function on WP7 phone.
Thanks for the tip elektryk. I think you're on to something.
I have tried the SIM in a non-WP7 phone. It works fine. I put it in both an iPhone and BB. Using the iPhone I created a PIN then tried the Optimus. It now asks for a SIM pin--which I input, then goes back to the PUK screen which still fails.
It seems to be a very strange incompatibility with the SIM, even though I've read reports of Telus Optimus being unlocked for Rogers SIMs.
Bad luck I suppose?
I have exactly the same problem. I put a SIM with PIN security enabled, and after I enter the correct PIN requests the PUK!! and if I disable the PIN secure, request inmediatly for the PUK. The Phone say: Your phone is Blocked. Contact the Service provider for an unlock code.--- the only problem is that I don't use the AT&T service, so I can't contact them!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Fabian, I could not find a way around the problem so I sold the phone. Luckily there was another e900h which was unlocked for sale. The guy followed the same steps I did but it never asked for a PUK. Weird how some phones do and others don't (especially considering both phones were from the same provider).
EDIT: Hey, try this, see if it works: Try without sim card for enter the unlock code. and type 2945#*900# for enter the unlock menu

Hey, start the phone without sim card, but no unlock code required, no where to type.
I've a E900h where none of the 5 unlock codes provided worked for some reason. Haven't ask for PUK yet but lost as to what to do right now.
Typing 2945#*900# just produces a failed msg - top left hand corner is a file icon with lock on the left.
In our country ones you buy a sim from network provider.
they give us a card with a PUK code for the sim we buy.
Try to contact your service provider.
Unlock codes is For unlocking SIm Only.
you can switch different SIM f u have unlock codes.
it is different with SIm Pin Code.
You can get Ur PUK Code to your service Provider.
what country were u from??
PRESS THANKS IF I HELP!!
I dont know about the rest of you, but is this just the Galaxy S4 phones feature that whenever I reboot the phone, at the top of the SIM PIN enter prompt window, it says: 3 ATTEMPTS LEFT. Or, is it my Service provider which is T-Mobile?
Is this normal?
I NEVER EVER had even ONE failed SIM PIN code failure before as I know the PIN in my head.
This is NOT my Screen Lock PIN code, I am refering to the SIM PIN code once the phone is rebooted.
Is this just T-Mobile to have 3 SIM PIN code fail attempts or is it the Samsung Galaxy's S4 feature?
And, just in case I type in 3 failed SIM PIN codes, then would a "Factory Reset" reset the number of tries to 3 attempts again?
Or, would I have to contact T-Mobile?
Thx

That has been standard on all my SIMs and phones I've used (Telia and Tele2 in Sweden). If you fail 3 times you need to use your PUK code.

How do i do that???
Just so you know, its a unlocked phone.
So is 3 failed attempts the standard policy?

You just enter it. But you only need to if you fail the PIN code 3 times in a row.

Ok, but do I obtain the PUK number from my Mobile Provider by phone or it can be somewhere else on a website?

It should stand in the papers that came with your SIM or on the internet if you have an account you can log in to with your provider

Its stashed somewhere and need to find it. In the meantime, I have it written down and stored in a locked place.
But my question was, that since I never typed in an incorrect SIM PIN before, is it normal to show at the SIM PIN logon screen that I have 3 Attempts to try?
Or, was it more than this?
So in other words, is 3 the normal failed attempts for most phones?

Yes, 3 has been the limit on all of my SIMs and phones. My S4 also shows that "warning".
OK, I wrote my SIM PIN code down and stored it in a secured place.
But, I managed to find the part of my SIM card with several 4-digit numbers and one of them is a 3-digit number (the last one at the way bottom).
But in case I do loose my SIM PIN (the one that I created or changed myself when setting up the phone), should I use one of these numbers as a backup SIM PIN to unlock my phone after a reboot?
Please see "PARTIAL" image of the numbers (for security reasons) of the portion of the SIM card.

Yes.. It is normal and 3 attempts is normal. Mine does it also... It is probably just to avoid problems with people today that don't understand anything.. Like don't eat batteries, it can cause severe internal damage... It is logic for most of us

My PUK code is 8 numbers (see attached image). The card also says that I can see the code if I login to my providers website so you probably can too.
I'm in the same boat. Problem is once the SIM is blocked the only place you can go is to the phone dial pad to call an emergency number. There's no place to enter the PUK code. If I enter the PUK in the dial screen and press "call" it says it's not a valid emergency number. Restart just takes it back to the screen that says the SIM is blocked, and the options to call emergency or SOS #. No PUK entry.
Anyone?
Edit: Found the answer on a T-Mobile support site:
When the device displays 'SIM card is PUK-Locked. Please contact Customer Care’, tap Emergency Call.
Enter the following: **05*PUK*NEWPIN*NEWPIN#
Message is displayed that it's reset. Tap OK.
This works.

No, not that card or those numbers. The BIG card, the credit card-sized one. It should clearly state "PUK" and 8 digits.
