[Q] A simple question about Motorola Droid X from Verzion!

Hello, a friend of mine is sending me a Motorola Droid X from Verizon USA, I live in Romania, Europe. Is there any chance I can get make this phone work in my country?
What should I do? Change the firmware? Network unlock? Can anybody give me a solution to this problem?
I really like that phone and I want to use it as my secondary phone.
Thank you!

Droid x is coma only, so it has no gms sim card slot
Not sure about non us coma, maybe able to find a local phone shop that can flash it
Don't think that is likely
edit: cdma not coma, I'm blaming that on spell check

maybe if they were released there than they could find what radio it use. Just a thought

Depends if you have cdma in your country. I was a bit shocked when my dx arrived because in new Zealand we dont have a CDma network. Most phones are GSM and unlocked. So I just use my dx for web browsing. Etc

the droid has a sim card slot
dear friends, I asked this friend of mine if the Droid X has a sim card slot and he said yes. so is not a coma phone. I think if it has a sim card slot can be made to work on my network in here. However must work also in South Africa because I leaving in there soon. I own also a Samsung Galaxy S1 unlocked but to be honest I think the Droid X may be better!

The package is on the way. I tooked a little bit more than I expected, so I don't know exactly the model. However my friend told me he got it from Verizone (so I supose is locked on that network) and it has a sim card slot. He told me is a Motorola Droid X but who knows? I found on gsm arena however that they have a mini sim card slot. You know..the small sim ones?
What's the catch?
In my country only one network provide CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (as the phone specifies on gsmarena), and this is Cosomote. Whatever, I don't mind if I can make it work! Is a nice phone isn't?

Hello I just got my Verizone. Well what can I say, is useless in my country so I try to resell it whatever. I put it also on ebay.com for USA. Does anybody know how I can get and flash the European ROM version? I know is this Verizone and the standard Droid X ROM also for European Countries. I did a research but no results.
I rooted my phone though and I got rid from some Verizone Junk.
Any idea though?

Dual SIM Version of Note 4/Note Edge

Hi,
Do you have any info on DUAL SIM Version of Note 4/Note Edge, just like the Note 3 CHINA Version?
Please suggest as having Dual SIM version would make me to wait from buying Note 4. Please Share your views

Interested in this as well. Let's see if anyone chimes in.

I need dual-sim, been searching for info on the Note 4 but not much to go on. Hopefully they will release a dual-sim version.

Etotalk as usual has the dual sim version for pre-order.But will only release mid november and not earlier

I'm using Note 3 Duos N9002, quite happy with it. I'm looking upgrade to Note 4 if it can use 3G/4G on both sim and has good battery life. If not, Z3 Dual Sim maybe my choice!

Does anyone know how long after release the dual sim versions are available? Do they get released at the same time as single sim versions or later?
Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk

No usually 40 days after the c release of single sim

No problem with me about nanosim. I'm looking highend looking, feeling, really good battery life, quality experience device after along time stick with Samsung ( S1 to Note 3 Duos - all plastic, scratched after some months ).
With Dual sim vatiant, I also concern dual 3G HSPA enable on both sim instead of only sim 1 on Note 3 Duos. As I read somewhere, Z3 Dual can access 3G on both sim.

I am tired of Samsung too. After the problem with Knox and the early impossibility of changing SIM on Note3 (such a bull**** policy), I really want to move on and change brand.
But nanosim is a very bad choice: I do have many sim with me (I travel a lot), is possible to change to nano, will think that

Dual SIM N9100
I just bought the Dual SIM N9100 model in Shanghai. I feel I made a terrible mistake because I'm not sure a root will ever be released for this model, preventing me from ever using Google Play, where I have purchased all my software on.
If you don't need to use Google Play at all and have invested in another marketplace available in China (like Samsung's), then this phone is great. Otherwise, wait until Chainfire maybe provides a root. He did for the N9106W China model, but that's not dual sim I think.

Sorry, I was uncertain when first checking as another source didn't explicitly list that model as dual sim. However, after double-checking, it is indeed a dual SIM model. Thx.

Dual sim active means you call and receive call at the same time from both numbers (you can call your self from sim one to sim 2) if its one at the time that's called standby.

Galaxy S6 Duos (dual-sim)

I created this thread for users of the dual sim variant of the Galaxy S6. I'm excited for my phone that will be released on 04/18 here in the Philippines. I pre-ordered the Black 32GB . How about yours?

Already owned Duos 32GB now

What is the model number of the dual sim variant and which country is it from?

Awesome! I'm also interested in the model number and which country is it made. Can you share it to us? Thanks!

http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/mobile/smartphones/smartphones/SM-G9200ZWUTGY
The model name is remained Galaxy S6, not named Galaxy s6 Duos. The model number is SM-G9200 and available in four colour in HK(with Green will be available in next month probably) and only 32GB listed, no 64/128GB offer as selection. The official price is USD$730.5 here.
http://www.wilsoncomm.com.hk/product-display-990
WCDMA SIM 1 / SIM 2: WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100, TD-SCDMA: 1880/2010
LTE SIM 1 / SIM 2: FDD:AWS/700/900/1800/2100/2600, TDD: 1900/2300/2500/2600
It does support a wide range of WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE, TDD including almost all network in HK, China, Europe and USA. I can't find out where is it manufactured, it's odd that doesn't mention in the box. But since we are part of China, safe guess is made in China.
There are still two more dual sim variant available in China with other model number as I known and not sure if they got 64/128GB.

SM-G920FD might be a dual sim phone... not sure yet
(SM-G920F is an international unlocked phone... FD suggests international unlocked + dual sim?)

weird..hmmm. i found this at samsung philippines website and it says SM-G920FD ...i'm sure that it is a dual sim version as announced.

Did someone ever have a dualsim card phone and can comment if it uses battery much faster. I live in China and it seems that the Hong Kong version is available as dualsim but I am hesitating as battery life isn't great already and I am sure there won't be any custom rims targeting dualsim phones.

Hi the HK version of dual sim as mentioned above is G9200. I am also based in China and currently in hk for few days. I just bought the s6 32gb 2 days back. Yesterday it gave me 4 hours screen time with 3g data on all the time. I had a lot of google services on yesterday which i have turned off today and will report how it goes.

This time we are all on the same and only exynos platform, custom roms for dual sim model is easier and possible in the future but unliky there will be a lots appear. Indeed, with 3gb ram and so powerful cpu you are enough to live with stock rom and kernel except that you want to get the best battery performance out.
Speaking to the battery life, it just getting better everyday. After a few times of recharge cycle plus the latest ota update yesterday, my battery life seems to be improved up to 50%. You have to be power saving mode enabled if you want to use it full day however. Second sim should consumer a bit more power but it is limited to 2G when your first sim is in 3g or 4g mode, I think 2g only use very little battery.

Hi
Is the phone dual sim dual active mean both sim can receive calls same time not dual standby ?
Is the phone dual 3G/4G mean both sim can have 3G/4G?
Thanks.

Both sim can receive calls at the same time. However, with one being used as 3G/4G and the another one is limited to 2G. Not dual 3G/4G standby.

Thanks for your reply. So it's dual full active not dual standby and you can switch 4g to sim 2 but in this case sim 1 is 2g correct?

Got mine today!
Got mine today but I don't really like the Duos logo at the back. I would prefer just "Galaxy S6".

As you can see from the screenshots, it already told you almost all things. I've got a couple of sim card but currently I only got one nano sim so I can't test the sim2 yet.
Voice call: You are free to pick which sim you would like to dial out and ring people.
Data service: You are limited to use either sim1 or sim2 to go on Internet but you can switch it here easy anytime. Only the data sim will get 3G/4G access and the other sim will switch to only 2G mode.
Dual Sim Always on: When you enable it, you can always receive phone call from both sims at the same time even you are during calls.

Good for you!
BTW
...As I check the model number inside the settings it says SM-G920F..But on all the stickers at the phone box and on the phone it says SM-G920FD....I think we can't just use a SM-G920F custom ROM in the future as there's a dual simcard settings in the phone.

Thanks TheEndHK
I think It's a dual sim dual standby and with the option dual sim always on as it shown in your screenshot you enable call farwarding from sim 2 to sim 1 when you receive a call to sim 2 and talking to sim 1. It's not a real dual active.
Regarding data service if you put your sim card to sim 2 tray and set data service to sim 2 can you get 3G/4g access to sim 2 ?
Thank you very much again.

I don't think so. How it worked in G3 was that u could choose either sim 1 or sim 2 as your preferred sim and can activate 4g on the sim of your choice. But if you chose sim 1 as your preferred sim and chose 4G/LTE, sim 2 would automatically be switched to 2g and vice versa.
In moto G4 you don't get the option to use 4G on sim 2 at all. If you choose sim 2 as your preferred sim for data, you will only get 3G speeds. So if you want to use a 4G connection, you will have to place the 4G sim in sim 1 slot.

I just got my moto g4 and it is dual 4g like it says on Motorola website

I am getting 4G option on SIM slot 2. But what i am seeing that i am not getting any data network on 4G in this slot. 3G works like a charm on this slot. Let me use Slot 1 and see if i get 4G data.

That is really strange. I am pretty sure that the 2nd sim does not support 4g as i saw this info on various sites n reviews before buying the phone.
As for u not getting 4g on the 1st sim, that has to be a network issues imo coz 4g is working with no probs for me on airtel in two different cities too.

My Moto G4 Plus UK dual sim can do 4G on Sim1 and Sim2 but NOT at the same time, if Sim1 is 4G then Sim2 is 3G (or 2G), if you make Sim2 4G then Sim1 is 3G (or 2G)
Most importantly is that when one sim is running as voice+data 3G or 4G, the other sim can still connect at 3G which is not common on most dual sim phones.

It is dependent on which SIM you set as your preferred SIM for mobile data. Which ever SIM is selected 1 or 2, that can do 4G and the other SIM can do 3G/2G only.
So I keep one on 4G and the other on 2G save battery and also have a more stable connection (well that varies from provider/region).

The Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 617 (and the close related 615) cannot do simultaneous 4G/LTE on both SIM's, only one at a time.

How did you set one on 4g and other on 2g.
My first slot is on 4G.
My second slot is not showing option to select 2G, it is dehighlighted and set to 3G.

Step 1 : Set the preferred sim for data, this is the sim that can do 4G.
Step 2 : Update the network type for the other sim.
As you can see from my screenshots, it's the SIM in slot 2 that is doing 4G and the first slot is set to 2G. If you select the preferred sim for mobile data to be the first sim, then that will be the one with 4G and the second slot will be restricted to 3G/2G.
Hope that was clear?

As you can see from my screenshots, it's the SIM in slot 2 that is doing 4G and the first slot is set to 2G. If you select the preferred sim for mobile data to be the first sim, then that will be the one with 4G and the second slot will be restricted to 3G/2G.
Hope that was clear?

I tried it, but still one sim which is not my preferred network is on 3g. Check screenshot

Snapdragon 617 cannot do 4G/LTE on both SIMs in the same time, just one at one time.

S8 Duos

Any info regarding the Duos version of S8 ?
Is it going to be released at the same time with the single sim ?
Is going to be an Hybrid (SDcard or second SIM) or a full dual SIM )+ sdcard ????
Thanks

Can any one confirm if sim2 is 2G Only? (when you have a s8 Duos in your hand )
The model number SM-G955FD denotes that Samsung would launch the dual-SIM variant of the Galaxy S8 Plus in India. The device is expected to feature a 6.2-inch curved Super AMOLED display with QHD resolution, an Exynos 8895 or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, iris as well as fingerprint scanners, and a USB Type-C port.

Recently, from my experience in the European, Middle Eastern and Asian versions, unless its locked or sold by any telecom company, its always a dual sim. Like the s7 and rest his soul note6 (and all A and C series).. Best way for you when its released is to buy it online from one of the top online sellers in any of these regions, and they are alot. Personally never seen a single sim version from Samsung in the last year or 2 in these regions.. Funny enough, US market is what gets the single sim always..

No, in Western Europe, it's only single sim unfortunately. We also have to buy from ebay resellers to find dual sim version. However, I'm not sure I want to spend that much money to buy a phone on ebay with limited support & warranty (the phone coming from a different region)

Check it out! (single-sim and dual-sim models)
Galaxy S8 - All models:

Galaxy S8+ Plus - All models:
www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus/models/765
Dual-Sim version is hybrid slot
Best regards

We will have to do the simcard glued on the sd card hack again then. I might even recycle the one I have got in my S7 edge dual sim
So if the hybrid tray is the same that on the S7 edge we will be able to get 2 simcards + 256gb sd card

I agree with you. I did not think the limited warranty was a big deal until I recieved a phone with a defect. As nice as it is to have a dual sim and not have to carry 2 phones, I will not be buying out of country again.

Agree too. I love my dual sim S7Edge. But I don't root anymore, and I want it to be local.
Bought 2 phones from Amazon, both went wrong, I didn't even know they were from abroad. One from Brazil, one from France. They wouldn't honour the warranty and I was £70 out of pocket both times.
Do love duos though! Just wish they would do it in the UK.

Dual sim by default?
Nope. You have to order the DUOS version. I ordered mine on ebay from UAE last week.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

The UAE and Indian version of S8/S8+ are dual sim variants. 1st slot is SIM only, while the 2nd slot is a hybrid, where you can decide to insert either a SIM card or a MicroSD card.
Both the SIMs will be 4G (Dual 4G), unlike the S7 edge which was 4G+2G.
And no, there will not be a Duos branding on the backside of the Indian Variant, while the UAE variants do have the branding.

They are being sold online.. Only the 955FD models are dual sim. Middle East gets dual sim by default (only choice).. Go to any online shopping store (based in uae that ships overseas) and you can buy one easily.. I recommend mike&smith or mygsm (add Dubai or UAE to the Google search for the local stores results and contact them)..

Yes in Morocco we got dual SIM as well by default I was surprised when they handed me the box and read FD instead of the usual F we get

I have my S8 duo from Dubai since Saturday. You can only have one SIM as 4G whilst the other is 3G.

Whether it's right or not, who knows.

It's either you have got dual SIM or a single sim with micro SD card.

Oh, my bad then. I was misinformed. But, even 4G+3G is good for me.

Can you please confirm this? I'm in the US and 2G has been shutdown by one of my carriers. So when I switch data to the first SIM, it forces my second SIM into 2G and I get no reception. If the standby SIM on the S8 is 3G, and not 2G, that would resolve the issue for me.

Second one is definitely 3G on my phone. I am attempting to attach a screenshot for the first time so if it works you will see it.
