Hello to all
Is it possible to have different contacts profiles?
So, when i put one sim to activate the one profiles with specific numbers nad with another sim card the other.
Or there is any application for this?[/b]
Hope you all would have used "Automatic SIM Selection" or "Remember SIM for a number" features in dual SIM Moto G (XT1033).
When "Automatic SIM Selection" is enabled, the phone will learn from pattern of use and automatically selects that as a preferred SIM when calling that contact.
"Remember SIM for a number" is available when you set “Ask every time I make a call” option in “Dual SIM settings->Call settings->Making calls”.
Once these are set, the dialer no longer asks for SIM for some contacts that have their preferences set. But you can always force a SIM for all calls by selecting a SIM as default in call settings.
The SIM preferences for a contact can be changed either by:
Tapping “Change SIM” during call. While this is the only option for unsaved numbers.
By opening contacts application and manually changing for each of the contacts by long holding the contact number
Though these are useful features, it can sometimes be frustrating if you dial a contact/number with wrong SIM (when rate cutter gets over in the SIM you have selected as default ).
You have to keep changing SIM for each and every contact/number for which you have given “remember SIM” or a SIM set automatically by the phone.
I was very much annoyed when I accidentally gave “Remember SIM” for an USSD code (the pop up dialogue to select SIM no longer appears). The code wasn’t saved on the phone or I didn’t get any calling screen (to tap change SIM) to change the SIM while dialing. The only option I had was to change the SIM in SIM settings whenever I wanted to dial that USSD code.
I tried clearing data of dialer/phone apps in settings, but of no use.. then I saw an built-in app called “Automatic SIM selection” (in Android 4.4.4, in older android versions - 'Smart Sim') under “ALL” category in settings->apps. Clearing data of this app deletes all the SIM preferences in one shot for all the contacts (even for unsaved numbers/USSD codes).
I googled a lot to find where these preferences are stored and how to clear them, but I wasn’t able to find. So I wanted to share this with you all.
Please click thanks if you find it helpful or share your ideas how you manage your dual SIM settings. Always happy to learn and help!
Mods, please delete/move this thread if this information is redundant/irrelevant.
Very well documented thank you for the clear cut points and procedure

Thanks Man!!!! Awesome!!!
Not working with CyanogenMod resurrection remix rom
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
I found a way to remove remember sim on USSD code on my Moto G
Just add a new contact with number is the USSD code you are using (include special characters e.g. *, #). Then go to the new added contact, tap and hold the number then choose 'Clear default calling SIM'.

I believe this information is relatable to the successors of the Moto G too since the feature has been integral to the entire device line. I have a Moto G Turbo Edition from last year currently running Android 6.0.1 stock OS. The issue is that even after clearing the data of the Automatic Sim Selection app, it doesn't make a difference. Neither does it remember "smartly" which SIM to use nor does it allow me to force a particular SIM as the preferred SIM for calling. Which means no matter what I do, I always get a prompt to choose between the two SIMS and that's very annoying. What do I do?
is this applicable only to the stock ROM. cant find either 'Automatic SIM selection' or 'Smart Sim' in CM
Automatic SIM selection is not part of most custom ROMs i've tried. but wierdly enough, i can't select SIM for all landline calls i make. i just thought this might fix that.
ok, this may be irrelevant but I need "always ask" feature both for call and sending sms. but for sending sms this feature does not working on every custom MM 6.0 rom. only ID6 and CM13 has this function working. anyone here, knows any cause behind that?
Is it possibile to extract the apk from the stock rom and try to install into a custom rom ?

it is possible, provided that the system app/apk you are referring to does not depend on external components/libraries which are part of the stock ROM and not part of any custom ROMs.
Hi,
is there an option to force set the default SIM for texting/SMS ?
I'm using stock ROM - 5.0 (Russian) and stock messaging app.
When I'm using Google Now and saying to send text sometimes it tries to send it through SIM2 instead of SIM1.
In the SIM Manager I've got everything set to SIM1 but that seems to not be enough.
Any ideas welcome.
Cheers
This is a known issue, check the message centre no. set it correctly, sometimes it on its own sets the same for both the sims.

Thanks for the answer,
I've checked the message center and numbers are correct - SIM1 and SIM2 have their own numbers (which are OK)
this issue is really annoying .. it works OK for few times (sends text from SIM1) and one of a sudden tries sending text from SIM2... (which btw fails - luckily because that's the SIM from different country and it'd charge me more )
Hello guys,
I flashed exodus rom (cm -- MM) last week and I am having a set back. Ive searched around and tried a few things but I cannot find a solution.
On oxygen os, in the dialer app, you could call from SIM 1 and SIM 2 even if you have set a preferred SIM in the settings. That was really handy.
On Exodus, I am using the Google Phone app from opengapps (Aroma installer) and I cannot find this option (as expected). I know I could set the settings to "Ask every time" but this would not be handy when I am calling from my car via bluetooth. Making a call from the car dashboard would not be possible since I will not be able to select the sim while driving.
I have tried a few dialers which apparently have this option but I cannot seem to enable it or something. I have tried zero dialer (for example) but when dialing a number I can see only 1 call button which uses my preferred sim settings. Of course, if I set the settings to "ask every time", while making the call it opens the phone app which asks for which sim to use. I am starting to think that these apps are not aware that the phone is a dual sim phone.
Has anyone faced this issue and found a solution to this?
Thanks
Edit
Check post 3 for solution
I am facing the same issue. I am on CM.
Well I found a solution.
True Phone Dialer and contacts actually gives you the option to choose sims. After installing the app, go to settings and enable dual sim. Now after dialing a phone number, hold the call button and a menu will pop up which will allow you to choose sims!
Since you do not need to set the phone settings for the sims to "Ask every time", you can still make calls via bluetooth connected devices. These calls will go through the preferred sim set in the phone settings for sims.
Hope this helps someone.
Hmmm
You should be able to set this in the sim options to ask every time.
Google phone doesn't have dual sim support, use default app..
Can't remember if default Exodus app has this option I guess it does

Are there any apps available or options that will enable me to assign numbers to a specific sim card as the default?
I've installed my work phone sim into my OP6T and find it a bear to use voice call because it always asks for sim card to dial call with. I can go one by one and assign defaults but... there's gotta be an easier way.
I've found that long pressing allows you to assign in the original OnePlus dialer, not the ported Google dialer I was running. Now my issue is supporting voicemail/visual voicemail for both a metro and Verizon sim card installed.
Using the stock contacts app on my 6t. After I set up a contact, I can click on the 3 dots (by the edit pencil) and set a default sim for that contact.
