Good Day All,
This is my first posting. Can the HTC HD2 be made into a dual sim (both on standby) phone? I know that you can purchase the dual simcard holder, but you have to manually switch between cards. Is the an app that would allow both to be on standby?
This would be great on only for the HD2 but for some tablets as well.
Thanks for your thoughts
No, reason being> for both to be on standby you need 2 hardware radio stacks.
Well that's not strictly true as I recently got one of these for my galaxy s2 ...
http://www.magic-sim.com/product-details.php?Product=13
it's transformed it into a dual sim phone with 2 sims actually active at the same time. I couldn't say if it works on the HD2 but it's maybe worth emailing them to find out?
It's a pretty handy device and it says it works on android tablets etc on the site.
Well thats not strictly a single dual sim standby device.
gmate is a seperate radio module (basically a second phone) that transfers the call, sms ect via BT to paired device.
Only works with some Android & iphone OS's & if you are going to have 2 devices you might as well have 2 phones.
Well kinda, although I find it more handy than that as its much smaller and lighter than any decent phone and I can't afford 2 galaxy s's so it's a pretty good compromise for me personally
Different strokes for different folks tho
Good point

Yeh wouldn't work for my needs.
Good idea but real answer is down to the handset manufacturers.
Thanks everyone for your replies....I appreciated them...
you should buy a dual sim phone.
It's the easiest way to get a great phone with dual sim i think
If only there were a dual sim HTC HD2 on the market....lol

hi friends
becoz of choice of gud schemes from different GSM operaters ,the demand for dual sim mobiles are increasing countinuously ,
so can we think we can get dual sim on our htc hd2 with some hardware modification
maybe with some kind of adapters.
check the accessories forum, people reported the phone working with several adapters, both the cheap kind and the expensive digital ones, even if there are flaws both ways
It seemms to depend on the Radio version your HD2 is running.
Upgrading to 2.12.50 did the trick for me.
Dual sim adapter (the one u need to cut the sims) works flawlessly!
every day come new rom that vary in appearance and function, but no one ever thought of creating a ROM on an adapter which works perfectly dual sim ...
many of us need to have 2 cards and hence the need for the dual sim.
Great masters think even us poor owners of 2 cards!
thanks

This is the latest Simore Adapter,Just want your thoughts on this,is it worth it?It does work on the SGS2 so thats not a problem,anyone know differences with the other cheaper versions?
Thanks
is it available on ebay or other online shops.. please provide link.
Overpriced, badly made. AVOID.
There are way better, way cheaper options
i had simore once some years back and it couldnt make 3k.
it worked on all phones but just edge
i decided on this one:
http://www.2-phones-in-1.com/en
it wokred well.
But the question is:
do these dual sim adapters provide the capability to have both the sim cards active on reception at the same time?
Because otherwise it's a nuisance...

nope they suggest you put one of the sims on call divert to the other number.
Yeah, I supposed so, however let me point out that this is by no means the optimum solution, since telephone companies charge redirected traffic by quite a lot (actually they apply the same rate of normal calls).
And in addition as we all know, redirection does not work for text messages...

with these adapter you can never have 2 sims active at the same time.
how shall the phone do this?
you are just having 1 radion inside.
hi,
there are any way of hacking my htc to use multiple sims at the same time?
thanks

Yeah. It's called buying another identical phone and taping them side by side.
*end sarcasm mode*
No, its limited by the chipset.
there are 2 in 1 sim adapters you can buy on ebay that will allow 2 sims for one slot. however there are many "versions" and some work some dont, its very hit and miss unless you know sim tech.. the one thats 40$ over the 3$ one with the newer version number is usually the one to go with..
but also know NOTHING about htc devices.

they are only not usable at the same time you need to switch between them
Dont Exist never adapter..
they're are Chines phones with this built in. there is one on youtube that i saw when i was browsing phones.. dual SIM capability and a 1.5GHZ dual core processor perfect replica of the Iphone4 but running android 2.3 G.B. i think it had about 572 MB of RAM but w.e.
either way i have seen it before and i know it is possible
. but i for sure think there is no way in hell you can mod your cell to do it...
Deal Extreme has some things you may want to check out...
Just do a search for "dual sim card" and you'll find a lot of options.
check for nokia c2 03 and above in list
it has range of devices
but they are symbian
just wonderin, whats the advantage of havin 2?

Suppose you go on holiday for a couple of weeks: You buy a local sim card to get mobile internet and you're still available on your normal number for calls/sms.

I found a German website advertising a dual sim android phone. So yes, they do exist. I'm however not sure if Cyanogenmod could support such a phone.
i dont have any idea
I have no idea why dual sim phones aren't yet available in Europe. It is the ultimate solution for anyone who needs to use a work phone. In the times of dumb phones it was no bother to carry two but now when we all have our smart special one people are really struggling. Is there any normal (non-developer) user who is simultaneously using two smartphones? I don't think so.
It is very common in China, they call it "Dual (sim)cards, Dual Standby"...
nope at least not with a stock android phone, why would you want to ? i doubt any manufacturer would make that anyway, impractical feature for most people especially as most phones come locked to one network and are intended to stay that way, they wouldnt see a need for consumers to have two of the same network sims

they would, i should think... think of it this way: they give you two sim cards and you pay for two simcards. all they want is the money, and you using two sims will get them more.

I guess you need to buy a dual sim card phone from china or one of the known brands
Well there's the new Galaxy Y Duos, though i don't think how android would work with 2 SIMs
Although, i used to switch SIMs when i need mobile internet by:
Turn on flight mode >> open phone >> Switch SIMS (depends on your phone design) >> Close >> Turn off flight mode.
worked on a galaxy i9003 & HTC desire S no need to even shut it down.
From memory a lot of ZTE and Huawaei phones do tend to be dual sim. I think there's a few triple sim ones as well.
Seems to be a super popular feature on asian markets for some reason. Exactly why, not sure.
A New Dual-Sim variant of the Galaxy Note 2 has been announced!

Hey There,
Great Post. Seems good to have people already sharing useful information like that.
As a personal request though. Your signature size is a bit unreasonable. Could you please consider resizing or doing something else about it?
Thankyou
I want one if the price difference isn't too bad.
dual sim card sounds interesting, I'd have no need for it though. lol deftone
If it has the same specs as the Note II this will be a dual sim 3G world phone. Are there any other Android dual sim 3G world phones out there?
I wouldn't have a need for one but I guess it could come in handy if i wanted to put a prepaid sim in it.

Maybe, look on Google for ROMs for a regular device with a dual-sim variant. For example, the Galaxy Pocket and the Pocket Duos. They have the same specs just like the Note 2 and the Note 2 Duos do so look to see if anybody has flashed a Pocket ROM on their Pocket Duos. If they did, then I guess it would work.I think you can probably find it in a couple of days. Or you could order from China Mobile, the carrier with the device, and have it ship to you.

Dual SIM Note 2 would be awesome for a backpacking holiday. Local SIM as primary, with home SIM as secondary with its super expensive roaming charges. Each time you change country just swap out the primary.
I wasn't sure about Note 2 vs Note 1 but with 64GB internal, 64GB SD, dual SIM and Seidio case with kick stand and holster it will be an iresistable killer combo
Adding decent GPS App with locally stored maps and an external range boosting antenna would make it the ultimate travel phone

Sounds Good!
does anyone know what dual sim entails? can you have 1 sim for mobile broadband (with telco provider a) and 1 sim for minutes, SMS (with a separate telco provider b)?
both reading at the same time. the note 2 knows which one to use and when? so you don't clock up data on the wrong sim, and calls and SMS on the other?
thanks
The "classical" Samsung DuoS phones (at least mine and others I had in hand) let you choose a primary card that is used for everything by default and a special button that allows you to choose the secondary SIM card before making a call or sending sms. Web connection and other services always run from the primary card. Changing the assignment of the primary card causes a reboot.
Both networks are actively receiving calls/sms.
How this one is (or would be) done is hard to tell, not many people had it in hand (if it really exists). Unfortunately, probably not many people ever will.
Personally, I need two networks, so I carry a "phablet" without SIM plus classical DualSIM phone. DuoS Note would be cool.

No, i don't think so.
so year 2012 and they can't even do what seems to be simple. one uses data, other using everything else. option in an app lets you choose what what simcard does? zzzz
