Hey guys,
so I'm looking currently for a replacement of my Lenovo Vibe Z which really annoys me because of the buggy ROM and the data connectivity. Since the Xperia Z3 Dual, and the LG G3 are to expensive I'm eyeballing the S5 Duos, but I need some explanation to the data connectivity.
Can both SIMs use LTE/3G by just selecting which SIM should use data? That is really annoying with the Vibe Z, because only SIM1 can actually use 3G, while SIM2 is restricted to EDGE (2G), so you would need to switch out the SIMs physically. Any clarification on that would be greatly appreciated!
wrong section q's go in Q&A
Ok thx.
But common guys - there must be some SGS5 Duos users who can give a quick answer.

Thank you very much. Well in this case the SGS5 Duos died for me. I need to have the possibility to just switch it in the software.

Wrong answer. Either sim can be selected to have data. Obviously not at the same time. I do it quite often and possible through software only. No need to swap sims

Well yes - this is the obvious functionality. But are you suggesting, that either SIMs can use LTE? or is it as @ jagardeen described it?
Either sim can use LTE though one at a time and you can switch this in "more network" settings.
Well if that is the case, this would be AWESOME. Ordering right now!

Probably because it's so easy to get prepaid sim cards of different carriers =/ I myself bought one for about a dollar.

Because carriers here typically have very cheap offers for unlimited calling and texting to subscribers of the same network while its relatively more expensive to make calls (and text to some extent though this isnt the case so much anymore with texting) to subscribers outside the network. (and there are basically two carriers only competing)

I noticed that Smart sells an S6 duos in which both SIM slots are locked to Smart. seems odd for anyone to have two SIMs from the same network carrier.
by the way, if you've experienced using the S6/edge, then the N5 (and possibly S6e+) will virtually feel the same in processing. but if you're doing some more heavy multitasking, then you may feel the difference the extra 1GB RAM of the N5 offers. the screen real estate is always appreciated, but handling of the overall phone might be a thing people actually consider more and so they may go for the physically smaller handset. I mean, there are actual iPhoners who think the iPhone 6 screen is too big, and miss the smaller screens.

Hi, I thinking of buying the dual sim version. Can you receive calls on both numbers? I assume you have to specify which sim is used for data. Thanks in advance.

for Calls, there's the option to select either SIM or both. but I don't seem to be able to dedicate any one SIM - they both just work anyway (as long as I have service).
for SMS & MMS you only have the option to select either/or.
for Data, one SIM is dedicated to 4G/3G/2G while the other SIM is limited to 2G. or you can just turn data for both SIMs off while talk and sms & mms are still in service.
when you're making a call, you have two call buttons - one for either SIM.

make sure, first, that it will support the bands you need for the network you plan to use it on.

Preordered the Note 5 here in PH, haven't claimed it yet though.
http://www.samsung.com/ph/galaxy/note5/pre-order/
Just learned that no 64GB available here and 32GB without SD Card for expansion is a serious drawback.
I can live with no IR and no removable battery but lack of SD Card, with all that 4K video recording and all, is really a tough pill to swallow.
Just my two cents.

especially if you use the Cinema 4K app...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frozenvolcano.android.cinema4k
the native app records 4K @ 48 Mbps. Camera Mod (for S6/e) bumps it up to 70 Mbps. well, Cinema 4K amazingly raises the bar to 200 Mbps.
here's a sample from someone that's popular in the M43/Blackmagic community...
https://youtu.be/1fzrLChc_48
he used a different handset, but I've tested be Trial version on both my S6e and N5d with no issues, even with the Flat profile (for colour grading).

Haven't tried that one yet. Looks awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
That confirms I need at least 64GB for GN5, too bad.
I have friend living here and I want to buy the dual sim version, just want to ask how much for the Note 5 32GB dual sim. Thank you
Anyone tried rooting the N9208? There's a chinese site that has instructions of rooting it. Are there differences between the OS of TW and PH N9208? I'm afraid that if I followed the chinese instructions, I'd end up with a TW language device.

Hi i just had my note 5 for about a week or so... its the dual version issued by globe philippines... i didnt notice anything wrong with the phone until i tried making calls. 1 out 10 tries pushed through.... so my first thought was to reboot my phone to fix it unfortunately it didnt. Then a text came through feom my friends tling me that they have been trying to call me and all they get is that im out of coverage when I'm just at home. By the way im connected to Lte when this happebed. So I tried to look for another way thought of changing the mobile network to 3g/2g. Calls started pouring in and out. It was fixed. But when I switch it again to LTE same thing happens all over again. Has anyone have the same problem?
Globe LTE doesn't support voice with data unlike with other carriers outside our country with VoLTE

To clarify, the question is about enabling 3G/4G for both SIM-cards at the same time AFAIK.
Using 3G/4G on SIM 1 or SIM 2 works, just not at the same time.

Unfortunately, thanks for the answer.
BTW. do you know phones that are using 3G/4G on SIM 1 or SIM 2 at the same time?
I thought that there is a way to enable it on Honor 7, that is why I bought the phone hehe, Thanks!

You and me both, I just made the "cutout" trick so that I can have a microSD and two SIMs at the same time but apparently my work SIM only supports 3G and 4G while my own supports 2G, 3G and 4G. I have 50 GB data on my own and 500 MB on my work SIM, so I wanted to split them that way but now I'm stuck with 0.050 Mb/s data speed on my own SIM and a microSD with a glued SIM-chip from my work phone which I don't know if I dare remove without damaging it - and if so I don't even know if I can manage to put that chip inside another phone again
Strangely enough my work SIM allows 2G roaming to Denmark (in south-western Sweden we can easily reach the Danish cell phone providers) but I don't think my employer would be happy with me racking up roaming fees of several hundred dollars per month.
I really hope there will be a fix/ROM-hack for this but I fear that it has to do with the hardware - I think it needs two 3G/4G radio chipsets (don't know what it's actually called) and only has one, just like a cheaper TV does not have PictureInPicture because it has only one receiver
But to answer your question I found a thread on another forum, but I checked the rules and I don't think I'm allowed to link it so google
"Best DUAL SIM android phone?" post 1993
and you should find it
On Chinese version, you can combine the data of both Sims to get a faster overall network speed.

A dump question. Does anyone with the plk-al10 vervion noticed that when changing from 4g -sim 1 to 4g sim 2 the phone remains for one second on 3g on both sim's? I believe that the hardware is no problem. The only restriction is by software.

Hi Friends,
I'm on the Canadian side. Bought the phone with Wind Mobile, had to activate with their SIM, but then unlocked it with an unlocking code Wind provided like two hours after.
I'm now on Telus network, but the phone does not show LTE. I do recall it showing 4G/LTE when I was using the Wind sim.
Anyone have any solutions? Suggestions?
Anyone? Many thanks
Does telus has LTE? Wind doesn't have LTE, it has 4g...i am on rogers... Just another question.. Do you have Mobile Data toggle? I don't hve it.

Yes Telus has LTE. Wind doesn't. I'm using the same SIM card I used on the iphone 6, and the iphone 6 displays LTE no problem with this SIM.
I don't think I have mobile data toggle.

Did you try changing the CSC to Telus? Maybe the fact that it's a wind phone disables the LTE. Just thinking out loud.

Sure thing! You need to go in your dealer and dial *#272*(insert imei)# this will take you to the csc page. If you don't know what your imei is dial *#06# and write it down. Make sure you write down the first 15 digits as it might give you 2 extra. (after a dash of course)
Once you're in there you should see your csc as GLW I think that's the wind one. If what you want is Telus then select tls.
If it's already tls leave it. That's won't resolve your issue.
***Warning***
This will wipe your device
Hope that works for you bud :thumbup:

Your phone supports LTE+. All Canadian Galaxy s7 edge models are same regardless of carrier and contain all network bands offered by the respective carriers. I believe Roger's offers 4g if I'm not mistaken which is quite similar to LTE+. If you want LTE+ just change your CSC to BMC and put in a bell Sim card as long as your phone is unlocked. Then u will get LTE+.

Hey Everyone,
So I just purchased a second hand S6 Edge international unlocked phone. I am in Ireland and on the Three network.
What I have noticed is that the phone see's 3 different networks for three but none of them are 3G or 4G
If I search for a network on my S5 it will again see 3 networks but they are distinguished by a 3G or 4G after it.
My phone will not connect unless I drop it down to 2G only and I also noticed that under network mode I have the option of LTE/3G/2G (Auto connect) or 3G, 2G
Same menu on the S5 give me LTE/wcdma/GSM ect..
Is there an issue with this phone and it not been compatible on the Irish network?
Hope someone says no
This is the Edge + forum, you say you have a S6 Edge. Correct? Different device. If that's the case you need to post on the Edge forum.
Fwiw I've tried a lot of SIM cards from different providers without any problems - unlikely to be a hardware fault.
