I know there is very few people that have dual sim installed in there mobile but those few all agree that there is little programs that takle there issue, therefore i would asked programmers to think of this software & am the first buyer
1. Ability to switch between cards by (On-Off) (this functionality is in Wivit SW)
2. Ability to connect each Simcard profile to Specified Connection accounts, i.e. If i choose operator A choose its MMS & GPRS seeting & if Operator B is choosen then select another MMS & GPRS seeting
3. Ability to have SIMcard switching Duration, i.e. Run Operator A for 50 Mins then OPerator B for 10 mins (even better if you can choose what days in a week it will do that.
4. Default operator to start with, i.e. Always have operator A on even after reset (so if i reset and it comes to Operator B it switches it back to Operator A
so anybody willing to do the little progy?

I'm using XDA II and what I use is a Ghost Dual SIM holder.
I have two SIMs, let's name it SIM-A and SIM-B. When I'm using SIM-A and want to switch to SIM-B without turning off the phone, I just activated the "Flight Mode" to ON, which turns off the SIM, and when I turn the "Flight Mode" to OFF, SIM-B will be the one activated.
thanks but i was looking into more funtions other than switching network, i have wrote a software using mort scipting the does many usufull functions
my software does the following:
1. Switched from 1 network to another (Manually by Single Click)
2. Software stays 2 hours on network A & 20 mins on Netwrok B (Automatically)
3. Every time it switches to a network it chooses its respective GPRS/MMS Settings
4. Evertime you (Manually or Automatically) Switch between networks you can set a different ringtone to that specific network
* this software is free & its posted in this forum, just look under my contributions

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect to a normal ISP, using a GSM connection, instead of GPRS. I have data calls on my t-mobile account, but when i set up my isp details and dial it, the XDA tells me the remote computer is not responding, when it blatently is, cos i can dial it using my laptop.
Hi Dave,
If you are UK based T-Mobile have released their GPRS service last week. They have a number of packages including 0.075p per KB or £15 for 10MB.
Its not on their website but their staff know about it.
Simon.
Your settings are wrong. Put the correct settings in. Ask someone who knows what the correct settings are in order to discover the correct settings
Maybe it's not all about wrong settings.
After I tried to connect to O2 using GSM from Danmark last week, I called O2 Germany and they told me it won't work. They have no roaming partner for GPRS in some countries and they disabled the GSM for whatever reason. The old numbers I could use to dial in last year won't work any longer. I get timeout error messages or "The connection you dialed does not answer". (It doesn't say it don't exist!)
Considering to quit O2 and use T-D1 again instead. I am very disappointed by the O2 net coverage.

OK, some networks do not support GSM data, and frequently networks will not have GPRS agreements with other networks in other countries.
Can you register onto Telia? In Denmark I believe they have GSM data @ 9.6kbps
You also need to make sure that your home network enables 'full' GSM data, maybe that's what you meant in your post. If they switched it off ask them ever so politely if they'll turn it back on.
I connect to the net using the wap number which is included in o2 minutes on the 250 package, (the gsm internet number was not included minutes) you can change the number dialled in the connection settings box. also set it to "always dial"
check the number dialled as it puts a prefix depending on country settings etc you also need data enable on your sim which is done thru your gsm provider. Sorry if i'm saying the obvious... hope this is of help
Dave, you need to have T-Mobile enable CSD (Circuit Switched Data), which is off by default. There is no charge to have this enabled.
Hi, I have a Cingular 8525, Hermes, but there are no options for me to manually select my network. It is unlocked and it is also bootloader 1.04 ( dunno if that matters), and I can select bands (after using the registry tweak).
What I need is to be able to manually choose what network to be on.
I've done a search and I couldn't find anything on this...
Thanks
None of my tricks work that did previously as far as unlocking this feature. On a T-Mobile SIM network select works perfectly. However, any of my Cingular sims block it.
Cingular blocked that in the US with all their recent SIMs, no way to get around it.
i dont think all of it is the sim, because i was able to enable network selection on my 8125 with my 3g branded sim and it worked fine! i think it still has something to do with the registry! I used the same reg hack on my 8525 and it would bring up the network selections, but it wouldnt let me register on the 2nd cingular selection!
Same here. My 8125 had network selection and it worked beautifully. Also, on my MPx220 I had manual network selection and it worked without a hitch. It definitely is something to do with the ROM on these phones.
Just got back from the BVI. Cingular is available on USVI (can see tower). If I used my old sim from my mpx220 in my 8525 (orange/white) w/cingular international activated, I could not choose between the providers. It would always lock on CCTwireless @ $1.50/min. It was the page that has 'find network' as the only option. If I changed to the new simI got with the 8525 (blue/white/3g) w/o cingular international, I would get the network selection page that had the additional option of 'manual' network selection plus many other options/settings. I then could select 'cingular' and use it w/o charge. It would not let me register on CCTwireless even though it was an option in the dropdown menu, maybe because I didn't have cing int activated on that sim. So the manual network selection page is available on the 8525. It appears not be a 'new sim' issue. There must be a registry hack to enable/force the manual selection page as a default. Any thoughs to do this?
Yes please someone post the reg hack for this. I reside between two towers and likewise two providers - one Cingular and one roaming - and the partner does not have a partner agreement with Cingular.
Unfortunately, the "unpartnered roaming signal" is much much stronger than Cingular's, and therefore takes precedence over Cingular every time my phone repolls the networks every few minutes.
I cannot access data at all on the partner's network. I even called the provider and got their GPRS settings. So I need to be able to manually select Cingular as my network so that I can get on their data network.
I called Cingular and told them this and said that if they would let me do this, they will save a lot of money because they have to pay a buttload anytime I make or receive calls on other towers where they don't have an agreement, which is true - they confirmed this, and they always say that manually selecting networks is not possible. I think they are lying.
I have the HTC TyTN (with the WM6 homebrewed ROM) and the Cingular 2125 (with WM5 MSFP iMate ROM) - both with no dice on changing this.
Someone please post the reg hack!!!

Is there a way to lock my Diamond2 to use SIM card only from one operator (CC 284 NC 03, Bulgaria Vivacom) ???
I want to make my girlfriend to get SIM from Vivacom .
Not so sure about the simcard part but you can configure the phone to use only 1 network. Go to phone setting, personal, phone.
On the network page, set to manual and pick the operator network u wanna use. That'll get the phone to connect to that particular network only.
Changing simcards should result in no network connection, unless the setting is changed back to auto or set to another operator..

Good solution, but when reboot the phone I get message to select network again and she can choose another network.
Lol don't you think you are over-abusive to your gf??? What's the catch? Unlimited Viva 2 Viva calls????
Really strange case:
I got a RAZR M that I hacked to work with US GSM carriers using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542
I am using my corporate ATnT card with it.
I am currently in roaming (Russia first, now Kazakhstan). Only GSM/UMTS networks here.
I have another simcard with me which is from Russian operator (Beeline). This network is present in Kazakhstan, however simcard is Russian, so in Kazakhstan this Beeline simcard is also in roaming.
Status:
On ATnT card, my RAZR wont connect properly to local cellphone networks. To explain better - it will occasionally connect to one of local operators (KCELL, MCC/MNC 40102), but it takes A LONG time to connect, easily disconnects, and it is very unreliable and erratic.
Moreover, in Mobile Network Settings menu there is NO OPTION to select operator (i do have GSM/UMTS mode enabled, not global).
On BeeLine card, my RAZR happily connects to any of chosen networks, AND operator selection option is available in Mobile Network settings.
I have another phone in my pocket - old Nokia S40 based. This one works perfectly with Beeline simcard. With ATnT simcard it wont automatically connect to a network, but manual operator selection dialog is accessible, and I can select any network and connect to it.
So, for some reason, with ATnT simcard in my RAZR, mobile networks settings menu disbles (completely removes!) operator selection dialog.
Any way to get around this? I have scraped around every possible search criteria, but I cant find any way to force that menu item to appear!
However, I accidentally stumbled upon a weird workaround:
I put Beeline card in
Manually select operator (Beeline)
Turn off the phone
Put in ATnT simcard
Turn the phone on
In this case on startup phone throws in notification (from motorola phone app) saying "selected preferred network not available".
If i click that notification, it takes me directly to network scanning menu, happily displays available networks and allows me to connect. From that point on, it stays fixed to the network I chose.
This means that this is not a problem of simcard or radio or ROM directly. It is some weird trigger built into ROM that reacts to ATnT simcard and removes "operator selection" option from setting.
Any idea how to force Operator Selection option to appear, or invoke it otherwise? Or maybe solve the issue alltogether? My workaround is really inconvenient.
Moto X Play dual SIM. Both SIMs are original (not cut) nano SIMs from two different GSM operators. The phone is not rooted, flashed / reflashed, everything is stock. Both signals bars are full but I am unable to make outgoing calls. I dial a number but no any sound coming from the earpiece - no tones or other party’s voice, nothing, just absolute silence. After some time I hear short “beep”, the line is automatically disconnected and the phone returns to standby. Same happens for both SIMs. I can temporary fix that problem by the phone OFF / ON and then it is possible to make calls. As far as I understand during OFF / ON the phone signs-out / signs-in into GSM networks and that fixes the problem. But after some time it returns again. I several times cleared cache partition and made one hard reset via Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory Data Reset. But that did not help. I also tried various settings for Preferred Network Type (4G, 3G) but that did not help as well.
Please assist.

Thank everybody. Trying to fix “unable to call” problem I was playing with various settings in *#*#4636#*#* menu and did the same mistake as in bablu048's link - I clicked USA band and had no network on SIM 1 (( Having checked I found only one solution – to reflash original ROM. Since I was unable to reflash myself I yesterday gave the phone to service shop and it is now not with me. Once the shop do not fix my phone I shall follow bablu048 advice and let you know the outcome.
I got the phone from the service and it is now working well. They did not tell me what they did, just took the money So, I do not know whether they reflashed complete official ROM of the radio only or somehow reset the radio etc. But GSM network on SIM 1 is back and no "unable to call" problem so far. Once I am again unable to call I will try what bablu048 suggested
Unfortunately "unable to call" is back I shall try bablu048 advice as soon as I can but once somebody have any other suggestions please advise ASAP.
Have you tried with 1 sim card only?
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app
No, I have not tried with one SIM only. Actually, that problem is intermittent and it is quite difficult to troubleshoot it. What seems to me is that I am usually unable to make calls when GSM mobile data is turned ON. At least, I cannot recall that I was unable to call when I was in the office or home where Wi-Fi was available.
Is that possible that 3G GSM data somehow prevents voice calls?
Troubleshooting the issue I noticed the following: "unable to call" problem is here when SIM 1 is used for mobile data. If I set SIM 2 as preferred SIM for mobile data the problem disappears. Before I always used SIM 1 for mobile data and faced the problem quite often. But after I turned mobile data on SIM 1 OFF and switched it ON on SIM 2 the phone is OK. Does anybody have an idea why this may happen? Can it be SIM 1 operator-related issue? Can something be wrong with the SIM card itself? Or there is a problem with the device software or hardware?
Sorry to inundate you with messages but I came across exactly the same situation on a Meizu forum. One user there was also unable to make / receive voice calls on two Meizu phones if he enables mobile data on SIM No. 1.
His first post was:
Hello guys. I am using a Meizu MX5 with 4.5.2.7A firmware. My carrier is Orange Romania and I have a problem.
Whenever I activate my data, especially 4G after about 30-45 minutes or so I cannot make/receive a phone call. When I try to place a call the phone sits in the dialing screen without any response, and when I try to call my phone it says that the client cannot be reached. The other functions of the phone work just fine during this time.
To resolve this issue I have to turn the mobile data off and wait for about 15 minutes, or reset the device.
And finally he found the following solution:
Well after a few days with “testing” it appears that (with your help) I have solved the problem.
When you use two SIM cards on your phone, it would be best if the main SIM (voice + data) would be used in the SIM 2 slot because the problems did not appear again. The 1’st SIM slot appears to be able only to handle calls, without data, at the same time. A bit weird if you ask me, but hey…
I was able to keep my data on for days and could place calls or send SMS just fine without any trouble. Swapped SIM cards in my father’s phone also, and the problem disappeared.
So, it seems that SIM slot No. 1 of my Moto X Play is also unable to provide both voice and data. Any idea how to fix that?

If you have unlocked bootloader try these codes
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
hope it works
The problem continues and I have some update: I have two SIMs, one SIM from Operator 1 and another from Operator 2. If I enable data on SIM from Operator 1 everything is OK with voice and data. And if I go to *#*#4636#*#* in Phone info I see “preferred network type LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)”.
But when I enable data on SIM from Operator 2 after some time I cannot make phone calls as I described earlier. And if I go to *#*#4636#*#* in Phone info I see “preferred network type GSM Only”. And I am unable to manually change that “GSM Only” to “LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)”. It always stays “GSM Only” and does not change.
However Operator 2 is similar to Operator 1, it is also a 3G operator.
Why preferred network type for Operator 1 is displayed as “LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)” but for Operator 2 “GSM Only”?
And why for Operator 2 I cannot change “GSM Only” to “LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)”? Why it is stuck to “GSM Only” when data is enabled on SIM from Operator 2?
More updates… Yesterday (when preferred network type of Operator 2 was “GSM Only” and I was unable to change that type) SIM of Operator 2 was in slot no 2. Today I swapped SIM cards – I fitted SIM of Operator 2 in slot no 1 and SIM of Operator 1 in slot no 2. And now all is OK with preferred network type for Operator 2 – it is displayed as “LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)”. So it seems that network type for slot no 2 of Moto X Play dual SIM can only be “GSM Only” and it is impossible to change it.
Any comments?
