Hey everyone.
Since Samsung's decision to unify all the devices sold to vendors into one unique device spread to all providers in the USA (the Snapdragon version) isn't it possible they did the same with the Exynos version and just changed the tray for the dual sim models, the hardware being in fact the same for both? (dual modem, dual sim reader, etc)
It would be nice if someone tried to fit a dual sim tray into a single sim S7/S7E. I've heard there are some S7e phones in the wild that do not have the DUOS name written on the back but are in fact the FD model.
Thoughts?
I'm in middleeast and yesterday i went to samsung store to buy one and store guy offered me the s7 edge 935f but as he said i can use either with two sims or one sim with memory I'm confused so i didn't buy it
Im not sure its the snapdragon or exynos
I think they only sell the Exynos outside of the USA

Anyone able to try a dual sim tray in a single sim S7edge?

It would be very interesting.
dual sim tray into a single sim S7/S7E
I have the s7 edge single sim G935F but want the dual sim capability and wondered about whether it was just the tray, so i purchased a dual sim tray using just the one sim, i thought if i put it in the second slim slot it would still register but it didnt, so now i am considering trying to install the G935FD dual sim firmware. i have found threads where folks have done it the other way around, dont understand why but cant seem to find anyone that has tried changing from single to dual.
It will not work...
The G935FD has two IMEIs, one for each SIM slot. Even if you got a G935F to recognize both SIMs, the second SIM slot wouldn't have an IMEI, and you wouldn't be able to register it. There's no difference in G935F firmware and G935FD firmware at all. Its a matter of low level software and processes that recognize the SIM and assign the IMEI.
Hi guys,
Can I activate a dual sim functionality in Galaxy S7 edge sold by any UK's providers?
Three, O2 etc say I can't use S7 edge as a dual sim phone.
Is there any workout for this? I need a dual sim phone, but dont want to get S7 edge dual sim off ebay because my upgrade is in a few days......
Thanks
On everything i have already searched and seen on this subject, no you can't
Have you actually tried to put 2 sim cards in s7 edge at any shop selling mobiles in the UK, or you just read, please?
I asked the same thing. 2 reasons why you can't
1) the sim / sd card holder doesn't have this shape to add the 2nd sim. So you'd need to change / mod that
2) whilst the 2nd sim circuits and connectors are in the phone there is no 2nd IMEI assigned to it
Adding an IMEI would be illegal under UK law..

Hi,
I am looking for a good quality Dual SIM mobile so I would like to ask you about couple of thinks:
1. Does the Second SIM can work with 3G instead like P9 Plus only 2G only? I know data can be only from one SIM but calls from two. Here in AU there is no 2G
2. Does it worth to buy it?
Regards
On a recent trip to Taipei, my AT&T global roaming SIM was my primary (4G on Chunghwa network) while my China Mobile SIM was secondary/phone only (3G on 大哥大 network). So, I believe the phone only secondary SIM is capable of more than just 2G.
However, this looks to be network dependant as when in China and the AT&T SIM is my main driver, the China Telecom SIM stays on 2G.
Thanks for info. I have confirmation from dealer that SIM2 can work on 2G/3G but I am confused because in user manual there is information that second SIM can work only on 2G'.
Can someone confirm it in practice?
Regards
Second SIM should support 3g no issues, see attached screenshot
Is the phone full active or stand by ..
very happy with my mate9 pro - dual sim. LON-L29C636 working great on AT&T in the USA. Only one sim (you can select between SIM1 and SIM2) is for data. I was in the middle east and asia the last few weeks and dual sims worked great (I have AT&T and Singapore (Starhub) SIM's in my phone). This was my note 7 replacement and I've been very happy with it. Amazing battery life and supercharging is fast (but you have to use their dedicated charger/cable or you just get regular charge speeds). i bought mine off ebay (it's a UAE model) and had no problems.
quick question
I am looking to get the mate 9 pro
Are any of you on Tmobile in the USA, and, do you get 4G/LTE?
The reseller I have been emailing with on Amazon says you do NOT get 4GLTE on Tmobile in the USA with this phone, but I have read that you do.
Thanks if you can help with this! :good::good:
I've read that the phone will come in two versions, one without the second SIM card slot (but still the uSD). Is there a way to know which version will ship in Europe? You can see the versions number on the official website: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/mobile-phones/huaweip10plus-en-sup.htm
VKY-L09 is single SIM
VKY-L29 is dual SIM
I don't get why they would remove this functionality for some parts of the world.
A lot of companies are backwards having this hybrid slot, giving you the choice of one (dual SIM) or the other (single SIM + expandable storage), although they are stuck in the 2013 bubble...some companies have actually moved on from there, but I'm surprised why this has not developed with major phone manufacturers.

There is also the VKY-al00
VKY-AL00

I received my pre-order yesterday, it's the VKY-L09 single SIM variant in the Netherlands, so I suppose the same is true for the rest of Europe.
I was speaking with a Huawei 'expert' at Carphone Warehouse yesterday, and asked about the dual/single situation in the UK. He said he has been told by an insider that a ROM flash wil be made available to enable the dual sim mode in single sim phones. He said the actual board and connector inside the phone are already in place, it's just the ROM that disables it and the sim tray that are different. He said his source said the ROM will be available in a month or two and the SIM trays will start popping up on eBay.....
Sounds like either the biggest marketing play ever to sell phones and hope no one really cares it doesn't happen, or Huawei realise the issue, and despite the UK networks not wanting it when they provde the phone to us, Huawei realise the potential of offereing a dual SIM option. I have to say he did not give me the hard sell at all, he said they only have a black phone in stock (and only one) and if I wanted white/gold (which I do) to wait a few days and try again. He had a P10 of his own, and was gushing about the P10 Plus like a schoolboy geek!
So there is hope yet!
Just been speaking to a senior manager at Huawei UK who picked up on this when I asked their Twitter account when the update would be available...
IT IS NOT TRUE the actual hardware is different with the single SIM version only having a single aerial so there's no way it can be flashed to make it duel SIM
WHy h why do sales people feel the need to say things that are not true!
Anyway my (probably single SIM) P10 Plus should be arriving today .....

Hi this is the reason I came here, the SIM tray for my VKY-L09 capable to put two SIM card, just the software not support. So maybe if Flash the dual SIM ROM can use as VKY-L29.

I have dual SIM software on a single SIM phone, let me know how I'd put 2 SIM cards in and I'll try it.

My SIM tray is capable to accept two SIM card with no user modification, that is why I though is only the software is different, but I already got answer here as the two model has two different hardware capabilites.

What I'm saying is people at any company will tell you anything to stop tampering with it both software and hardware. I have a dual SIM firmware on my l09 edition. If i can get a dual SIM tray or nodded tray I'll give it a go. Until both phones have been disassembled and had a look then all we can do is hope and try

its possible, Chimeratool .com does that, once you have the hardware hint in form of the second sim slot on most Huawei. Its the first hint possible conversion.
thanks

So that means Huawei lied to me? I guess possible..... not wanting single SIM to be easily changed to dual SIM.
So ALL we need is the SIM tray? The hardware definitely inside?
Wonder which country have the L29. UK only L09, I am thinking dual sim L29 as it will come in handy to have 2 sim if needed.

Hi all,
I've get my P10 Plus in UK couple of days ago. I was really disappointed that model doesn't support dual sim. Huawei Support also told me that my phone is single SIM only plus SD Card. But when I took a torch and flash inside SIM card slot I can easily see second set of sim card pins right upon empty space in tray. So I think it's highly possible to change ROM only and get Dual Sim Version. We need to wait couple weeks to release files for both devices and than check that
If you rebrand to a dual sim model, you can use both sims. Many people reported success already. Google for rebrand huawei p10 plus -- most success has been reported if you rebrand to VKY-L29C636 version.
Confirmed, i rebranded and flashed the VKY-L29C636 on my single sim and it worked, the only thing that i lost is the theme function. Somebody say how can i fix it?
Here in the middle east all the galaxy s8 are dual sim SM-G950FD, I'd like to know if this will not get updates as fast as the SM-G950F because if so i'l reconsider buying it as i don't really care about the dual sim capabilities.
Thanks in advance.
Anybody?
I have S8 from Dubai as I need dual sim. Firmware is same on single and dual sim models, my phone has OXM firmware and gets updated at the same time with single sim models.
I also have dual sim from Dubai. I flashed with EE UK firmware and get updates as soon as EE release them.
Great, thanks guys.
I'm gonna go for it.
