Has anyone else used the second sim slot yet?
I've got 2 sims. I use the first one for everything. The second one is just for incoming texts (calls are diverted to the first one - history). Sometimes, when I look, it shows no signal on the second sim. I reboot the phone and it gets a signal. This has happened twice now.
Anyone any ideas?

You can't use both simcard at the same time. You can only choose which sim can do what. Example: SIM1 uses calls and text. SIM2 uses data. or Vice Versa.

I thought that was for outgoing. What happens about incoming?
Just checked. My wife sent me a text to my second sim number and it came in OK

The phone is dual SIM dual standby https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_SIM#Standby both can be used but only one at a time

Can anyone answer my question?

I have no idea but I use both sim slots. One for work and one for privacy. I have had no issues with connectivity.

False, that's just for the defaults outgoing. You can actually use both SIMs at the same time to receive calls and SMS.
Only thing you can't use at same time on both is DATA (you can't have both data connections active at the same time).
About your specific issue with the signal drop. There was a bug (apparently for NL only) related to signal drops.
I had something similar too on Voda IE and updating to 4.5.4 seems to ahve fixed that.
Worth giving it a try maybe.
Thank you. I can wait for 4.3.4 to be delivered.

Hi,
I have a problem with the dual sim connection. I have a sim that i use only in 3G for data and another in 2G for voice.
The problem is:when the 3G is active on the first sim, i can not receive calls on the second sim. For example i have the 3g active, then i put the phone in standby.To receive a call, the other person must try 3 or 4 times in order for the phone to ring.
Is this normal?

that's natural,however in order to rec calls from other sim:
from settings>device>sim card manager>tick (recieve incoming call options)

Hi guys,
like the title says I want to use 1 SIM only for mobile data and the other SIM only for calling. I know there are settings for this and that this is possible but I want to know if I can use the "mobile data SIM" in LTE mode while receiving normal calls using the other SIM?
Is it even possible to use a mobile data only SIM in this phone? (just to be sure )
Did someone have experience with usage like this?
Thanks!

If you would have played with the settings first then you wouldn't have had asked this.
Anyway, you can choose preferred Sim for Data, Sms and Call. You may choose same sim for all 3 or 2 different as per your choice.
Whichever Sim you chose for Data will always allow you to choose from different network types like 4G/3G/2G but the 2nd sim(2nd sim in the sense the another sim, you have have chosen sim in 2nd slot for data, so in that case the sim in 1st slot) will always be on 2G. You won't be able to change that.
And I am sure you wanted to know exactly this.
And it's upto you for what purpose you use the sim.
1 use 1 sim only for data. Talk time on that is always 0. And another for call and sms.
The Sim I use for data is PrePaid and the other one a PostPaid. Just in case you had this confusion.
If you have any other confusion feel free to ask.

Yeah, thanks! I had no second Sim to test it, that's why I asked.

Oh! My bad. Didn't thought that could be a possibility too.
Feel free to ask any dual sim related issue/confusion. Will try my best to help.
Yes it works and you can put them in either SIM slot. Both slots are LTE capable and it works in both configurations. Just make sure the network options are set to "LTE/4G preferred" as they might not be by default, on the data SIM.

Hi guys,
For anyone with a dual SIM model of the LG V20, can you please do myself and others a big favour?
I need to determine the phones capabilities and functionality when it comes to dual sim capability. We know this is only dual standby, but I need to determine a few things. Can someone please answer these questions ONLY if you have this phone and ONLY if you've tested it?
1) Can a 3G phone (voice) call be received on a SIM whilst the other SIM's 4G data is in use (Y/N)?
2) If yes, does the 4G data SWITCH OVER to the other SIM to allow that voice call to come through, or:
3) Does the 4G data temporarily cut out on the "data active" SIM for the other SIM to allow inbound 3G voice call?
4) Can you deactivate test to confirm with 100% accutracy only 4g and/or 3G is being used on both SIMs?
Any help from current users (or if anyone can post a video oft he settings/functionality), that would be awesome!
Thank you

Hi. Cant exactly verify this because in the Phillippines H990DS. We dont have voice call over 3G.
But if it helps, i have a viber account on SIM2s number. I use SIM1 as Data provider.
When i get a viber call on SIM2s number, it doesnt switch but instead uses SIM1s data.
But not entirely sure if that works the same as Voice over 3G
When one sim is in use the other is disabled, I think the only phone that does this is huawei mate 7, but that's 4G+2G or 3G+2G.

Not entirely. Yes, they are dual standy by...but when 4G is active on SIM and call comes in on SIM 2, it should eityhert SWITCH the data to SIM 2 to allow call to come through, or temporarily disable 4G on SIM 1 for the call to get through. See other models that dpo this:
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/dual_sim_4g3g_phones
This phone has the new chipset that can allow this. Have you actually tried this, or have any images to confirm your findings?

You have the HK model, right? Makes no sense why two dozen or more other models out there with this chipset can allow 4g/3g (evenif 1 is temporarily disabled) and this new flagship doesnt.
i got the H990DS today. I have Tmo and AT&T. it has 3G standby. No matter which SIM i select in 4G the other always holds 3G.

Perfect. Thanks for confirming. Sorry to be a pain in the butt but could you screenshot that on the phone and post to confirm {if signal at top left status bar shows this}?

Sure thing. :good:
..
here is my findings for a few days, i bought a data sim card (only internet) and added to my LG V20 as SIM2
1) yes, you can receive calls while the data is working on the second sim
2,3) in my case, when i receive a call from SIM1 (4G), the data SIM2 still connects between 4G and 3.5G, but in both cases the data is been cutted off and unable to do anything
(this was tested via hotspot the SIM2 and getting a call on SIM1, happened multiple occasions)
4) until now, SIM1 and SIM2 in my device works both on 4G (battery drainage is surprisingly holding up)(tested via switching between SIM1 and SIM2 Data connection)
one note to be considered, the data speed was very low, i called my provider and adviced me to switch to another device (portable router adviced), i switched the sim to another device (Note 3) and the net speed was signifacantly better for a while

Your answer is helpful, Silver Mask! Just to confirm, if I'm on a call on SIM2, I would not be able to use the internet on SIM1 at the same time? (e.g. if I wanted to use Google Maps with SIM1 sata while I have a SIM2 call on speaker). If I understand correctly, you're saying I can receive a call on SIM2 while I'm using SIM1 data but once I pick up the call, the data from SIM1 will be temporarily disabled?

Either disabled as an extream case, 50% of the time it switch to lower band (from 4G/LTE to 3G), even then the data feels slow, but usually any navigation app and social messaging apps doesn't get affected that much, it is just annoying
Hello,
Is anyone else having an issue with dual call?
Explanation :
When i am on a voice call on SIM1 i can't get a call on SIM2 and vice versa.
If i go into : Settings > Call > Common > Smart Forward and i try to save, it gives me a "Network or SIM card issue"
Anyone replicating this issue?
Just for precision : i am using two SIMs from different countries.
For what I know huawei mate 7 and I think their current phone supports this, no others brands will allow this.

You mean the SIMs from two different carriers ? As when i tested two SIM cards from the same carrier it worked fine. Just wondering if it's the "etisalat" SIM that is messing things up.
are you sure, when one sim is in use, the other will be disabled, even during browsing.
I think smart forwarding only works if both sim has call forwarding.

What do you mean while browsing? you mean like internet browsing? I think the issue is only on the phone, talking. I only had this issue when i was on the phone with the "etisalat" SIM. As i mentioned above, it works fine with two SIMs from the same carrier.
Can you also elaborate on what you mean "call forwarding".
a) like the normal forwarding (unreachable, off, or busy it forwards to you voicemail)
b) forwarding to another phone number
c) ?

There could be 3 possible ways.
1) Software bug
2) sim slot pin breakage
3) sim card chip problem
Identify the root cause at first.

2nd and 3rd not possible. Since data and messages are working.
Can you provide more information.
Are you on 4g network.
What type of error do you get.
Your circle.
Have you changed your network settings using *#*#4636#*#*?
Have you tried calling using 3g and 2g only?
If not choose WCDMA only (use above code). Also try with GSM only.

Same problem here. Solution for now is to change to 2G network, at least for me. When I try to call with 4G preferred sometimes it work, but when it works they can't hear me and I have to scream. This Pie update have so many bugs it is ridiculous. I can't believe they put such ****ty update to the masses it seems like BETA version. In Oreo when making call phone switches from 4G to 3G instantly now in Pie switches worry slow if it even switch and the signal is so bad that the call drops and that is in places where the signal is perfect
Hi, since last 4 days i am facing same ptoblem cellular SIM in slot 1 not working for incoming and outgoing calls and outgoing sms but internet and sms service (invoming) is working perfect on 4G

But when i inserted this same sim in slot 2 all things work perfect. same problem occurred even when i inserted other network sim in slot 1 (internet and sms(incoming) worked but unable to do calls) I had factory reset but problem not solved
I am using poco x3 nfc
I anyone have solution plz tell me
