Is there any way to make my phone believe that the primary sim is not on roaming?
My primary sim is on roaming and I use it for all downloads but Nougat doesn't let me download from play store.

Can a regular SIM work on a 3G network? Or to be able to access 3G, does a 3G SIM need to be used? If so, can a regular SIM's info be copied over to a 3G and it will work?
Hi
If services provider supports 3G than only thing u have do is to call the services
provider and subscribe for same . I think no need to change the SIM...
I just got my Galaxy s5 as an upgrade and I put in my sim card. Everything works as expected, good call quality, good texts but when I'm on the train for work, where there isn't any wifi, my data doesn't work, nor does any other place without wifi. I look under system settings and it says not roaming and other things. I look under my data settings and there isn't an option to turn on roaming. I'm right now paying for something I can't use, what do I do? If it matters, I'm on consumer cellular right now.
Roaming means it allows you to switch to a different carriers network, when you are outside of the coverage of your own carriers network
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaming
If you are within the coverage of your own carrier, you should be able to use data normally, if not, call your carrier and ask them what's wrong, probably just need the service settings sent to the phone to set up data
Or try adding the APN settings manually

Hey Guys
Here is the deal..my G935FD is having connectivity issues (service unavailable) on the SIM card that provides backup mobile data but only when on 2G network. My assumption is that this carrier have move away from 2G and have limited connectivity capabilities in 2G. When switched to 4G, works just fine... however I want to use this carrier only for voice services and not data.
I already updated my modem to latest version with same results.
My goal is to disable data completely on this SIM, but the minimum setting on the Edge is 2G and on top of that is not possible to have both SIM running 3G/LTE. I also tried using a fake APN but no luck.
Do you know a way to accomplish this?

From what I could understand, you want mobile data on your primary SIM, and use the secondary SIM only for voice but the carrier is re-farming 2G and you can't have 3G on the 2nd SIM slot?
Well, there's no solution for it. One SIM Slot can do 2G/3G/LTE whereas the second one can only do 2G. No way around it.

Thanks for your help. So no way to only shut down data completely on the second SIM? Shutting down mobile data from settings shut it down for both SIMs, couldn't find a way to shut them now independently.

Under SIM card manager, when you see the Mobile Data tab, isn't it set to SIM 1? That would automatically disable Mobile Data on the 2nd SIM, however you can't get past the network mode restriction. So SIM 1 will be on 2G/3G/LTE, whereas SIM 2 will be on 2G only.
Very easy
Via the settings tab, get into mobile network tab, select access point names.
Choose the sim u want to deactivate and then select the APN and delete it with the menu option on top right hand corner.
using 3g doesn't mean it will use data.. when u chose the primary sim for data the other will never use data even on 3g.
I have two sims A and B connected to networks .sim A is selected for cellular data but when i change it to sim b , the network on sim b stops coming and until i change the cellular data to sim A and restart the phone Sim B wont connect to a network, error while searching for network is displayed while trying to search for network manually. Does anyone know is it a sim problem or with the mobile. I have even factory resetted the phone and changed the sim slots.
Is one of the SIMs Jio 4G? For it to work, you'll need to set it as the primary data SIM. As soon as you change the data SIM, it will deactivate itself from the network.
So, likely my G4 plus did the same while activating data on another network, JIO4G automatically turns off!

tried that did not work , one sim is airtel 4g and other is vodafone
That's a model and/or mobile operator dependent problem. I have XT1642 in Germany and never had that problem with both sim slots.
What model did you have and in which country?
it's only due to jio sim in india
I have the latest firmware update, and I'm using it with 2 SIMs; Sim #1 is a Google-Fi on roaming, and Sim #2 is the local default sim. I choose SIM 2 to be the default for everything (calls, SMSs, and data). However, I kept seeing the mobile for some reason switches the data to SIM 1, however, I disabled data roaming, and surprisingly, the mobile still randomly changes to SIM 1 (Google Fi) and also consume data!!
