Is it possible to use jio sim on sim slot 2 ?
I'm using moto x play dual sim indian with latest marshmallow update.
I know both slots are 4g supported .
But When I inserted jio sim in sim 2 slot a pop up msg shows if u want to use LTE then insert jio sim on slot 1.
What to do ? Sim 1 is my primary number (Vodafone)
And in network mode selection phone is not showing VOLTE ,it's just showing 4g.
Need urgent help.
sim 1
i am using jio sim in sim slot 1 and it gives upto 45mbps
you can use jio sim in sim 2 but you need to select sim 1 to 2G only and sim 2 to 4G(recommended)...
note:YOU CANNOT USE SIM1 IN 3G OR 4G UNTIL YOU CHANGE SIM2 PREFERRED NETWORK TO 2G..

Why I'm getting this pop up ?
I put jio in sim 2 n I had this pop up too. After putting it in sim 1 I got new option in cellular network called "enhanced 4g LTE mode".maybe both slots support LTE but only slot 1 supports volte.
PS: (sorry for off topic) I just got my jio yesterday n the guy at digixpress mini said it'll take 15 days for activation. I'm getting 'no service' right now.is it okay? Or should I at least get signals?

U got signal only when sim will activated...til then it show either no service or emergency call only.
Sim 2 doesn't support VoLTE. Please put it in sim 1 to make calls using jio

It's normal it will show no signal or emergency call only. Activation time depends on your state and place. if the store has more sim activation pending then your request will be get delayed.
When your application has been updated to jio by the store then you will receive an sms.
After one of that your sim will show signal .
Can I have 1 sim for data & voice running at 4G, while the other sim for voice & sms only in 3G? Or only 2G supported?
Because I read at 1+3 forum that it can actually do this, so I was wondering if the Axon 7 can as well. I don't see why not, correct?
Has anyone tried this? I'm in the US, and would like to be able to run a tmobile mvno sim (4G+voice+sms) + an international sim (voice+sms) that's roaming on AT&T who will shut down 2G soon.
It's a dual 4G sim slot, so yea you can run it like that.

Go to settings - dual sim settings - network mode and on sim 2 tell it GSM only. It will keep sim 2 on 3g. Also on settings -dual sim settings you can turn off mobile data for either sim. Just put t-mobile in sim 1 and at&t in sim 2, shut off mobile data on sim 2, and tell sim 2 gsm only. Done
Thanks for the info, I didn't buy the device yet; but this makes choosing a device even harder since both can do this now (1+3 & Axon 7).
Until recently this was NOT the norm I believe, best I could find was a dual sim phone with 1 sim @ 4G while the other @ 2G only.

Doesn't GSM-only mean 2G? While both slots are hooked up for 2G/3G/4G, I think only one slot can be connected to 3G/4G at a time, the other slot goes down to 2G.
When I have my Verizon SIM in Slot1 (chosen as data connection) and a T-Mobile SIM in Slot2, using apps like LTE Discovery show my A7 connected to Verizon LTE, Verizon 1x (2G for voice calls), and T-Mobile GSM (2G), not T-Mobile HSPA (3G). When I switch the data connection source to Slot2, it connects to T-Mobile LTE and Verizon 1x (2G), not Verizon EVDO (3G).
Yes I was able to confirm LTE and WCDMA simultaneous operation
Hi! Amazingly, yeah this works...you can have LTE on one SIM and WCDMA 3G on the other (voice only). I tested this with two T-Mobile SIMs and was kind of shocked as in the past it seems like all dual-SIM phones are limited to GSM-only on one of the two SIMs, as has been mentioned above...
But...strangely, this won't work when using a CDMA SIM in slot 1 (i.e., Verizon). I have no clue why...I can definitely confirm that my experience is the same as that stated above by xtermmin - the GSM SIM will be limited to EDGE (2G only) when the CDMA SIM is active as the data SIM. But with two GSM operators yes one can be LTE/WCDMA and the other can be WCDMA/GSM. I'll confirm real quick just to make double sure but I seem to recall seeing this in the specs and was able to confirm it myself. I've attached a screenshot showing this - I have SIM 2 enabled for data as you can see but SIM 1 still shows voice-only on UMTS and thus is not just limited to 2G. I hope they fix this phone so that CDMA SIMs will have this same functionality...for now though I can say confidently that two GSM SIMs can be operated as LTE/WCDMA on primary SIM and WCDMA/GSM on secondary SIM simultaneously...really great news considering all the EDGE networks seem to be on their last leg!
EDIT: Oh - and don't mind the fact that the "Cellular Network State" is shown as disconnected - in slot 1 I have an old T-Mobile SIM just for this test - it isn't active at the moment on an account. But for demonstration hopefully it does suffice as it definitely has the phone connected to 3G service on SIM 1 while having LTE service on SIM 2. Also - I've included a 2nd screenshot to show that with Verizon LTE/CDMA on SIM 1 (shown as carrier '123456'), SIM 2 will be limited to GSM-only on T-Mo...really weird - not sure why this limitation exists for CDMA users - I think it's a ZTE bug as simultaneous CDMA 1X and WCDMA is possible with T-Mobile as the data-SIM.

Ah, so it's another CDMA quirk. Good to know!

Yeah for sure...I love the phone and all but I really hope ZTE will just fix these annoying CDMA bugs already...Seems like they could fix this stuff with or without Verizon's approval - from the beginning they've kind of hamstrung CDMA and I've never really understood why. Another bug I noticed was that when switching calls to the T-Mobile SIM, VoLTE has to be kicked into gear by toggling the VoLTE toggle and sometimes even putting the phone into airplane mode for a second...from what I've heard this is a unique problem to CDMA use as well.

Thanks for the info. Has this issue been sorted out to your knowledge? We livein 2 different regions, but would only consider getting the Aussie release of this phone this month if it can seamlessly handle 4g/3g, using 2 SIM cards where both are capable of LTE. Will this work? Does it automatically switch data to SIM 2 in order to take 3G voice call, or does it temp. disable data on sim 1 (4g) to allow SIM 2 call?

Actually, worse than I thought...but only a bit

Hi - I just tried this and here's what I found:
If active data is on SIM 2, a call to or from SIM 1 is possible on UMTS (WCDMA 3G) but this will terminate the LTE connection on SIM 2 for the duration of the call. However, a call on SIM 2 will not be a problem for data unless SIM 2 is on EDGE or less...on UMTS or LTE (i.e., a VoLTE call) you'll still have data during the call.
If data is on SIM 1, a call to or from SIM 2 is only possible on EDGE!!! I didn't know this! I guess SIM 2 will always be GSM-only if SIM 1 is the active data SIM. And also - you will lose LTE data on SIM 1 if you receive or place a call on SIM 2 EDGE/GPRS.
So...it looks like the situation isn't as good as I'd hoped - if 3G calling is necessary on a particular SIM card at all times, that SIM should be placed in slot 1. And it'll work well even when SIM 2 is the active data SIM. But, if you need 3G calling at all times on both SIMs, you may be out of luck.
Also, the Axon does not seem to allow you to change the data SIM in the middle of the call...in this scenario, SIM 2 was on LTE and was the active data SIM, and SIM 1 was on UMTS (calls only). I made a call on SIM 1 and then changed the data to SIM 1 to try and get 3G data during my call...but it didn't connect to data until I hung up the call...so it seems that the service state gets frozen when you make a call, in a way.
I hope this info helps...seems like kind of a mixed bag, unfortunately.

Thanks for the. That's pretty backwards by ZTE. Makes no sense. SIM 1 and 2 need to work the same way regardless of WHICH SIM had the 3G incoming call and which had 4G data active at the same time. I read the above as SIM 2 can be 2G only, or is the main SIM for 4G data....so 3G calls can be taken on SIM 1. Yep, backwards!
Axon hasn't sold me. Audio on a phone is important, but the HTC front facing speakers get easily clogged, then it looks horrendous. I'm favouring one of OP3T (as i believe this too has unlocked bootloader and root), or worst case - LG v20 or G5 dual...but neither will be given unlocked bootloaders.

So, I just tried it again and it looks like I was able to achieve a UMTS 3G connection on both SIMs even during a call on SIM 1...perhaps my initial test was in error somehow...not sure. But it looks like dual 3G is possible after all...there may be hope!

Are you sure both are running 3g, because I have had devices that always showed 3g even when connect to 2g networks, really need to test with an app the can see both sims at the same time like network cell info mini.

Yes I'm sure. I was using LTE discovery and the Settings --> Phone Status...not just the signal type indication. It can run dual 3G UMTS and/or HSPA+.

Also, if you look at post #6 of this thread you'll see two screenshots in the attachments that show dual LTE/UMTS connections on SIM 2 and 1 respectively.
Awesome and Thanks...

Sure thing. Just to make double sure, I just put my FreedomPop (AT&T) SIM in with my T-Mobile one and set both to WCDMA...And it's confirmed that dual 3G works fine (see screenshots below). So you should be ok! AT&T has decommissioned 2G completely so the fact that I could sustain a dual T-Mobile/AT&T connection when T-Mobile is active for 3G data should hopefully prove that the Axon 7 can get dual 3G. One caveat though - with a Verizon SIM in slot 1, slot 2 is still 2G only...So you will be limited to 2G in slot 2 if you have a CDMA SIM in slot 1 which is data-active. But two GSM SIMs should be ok. Good luck!

So Awesome, does anyone if the same is true for the new ZTE Blade v8 Pro, I sure hope so as I am looking to add both of these to my collection, Using prepaid H2O wireless for calls and text and FreedomPop LTE or Global sims for data... What would be the best setup for that data ( FreedomPop ) on sim 1 or sim 2. H20 is a AT&T MVNO

The only limitation vis-a-vis SIM 1 vs. 2 slot I know of when it comes to GSM SIMs relates to WiFi calling... You can only get WiFi calling on SIM 1. But that shouldn't matter for FreedomPop or H2O I would think so it shouldn't matter. Also, CDMA SIMs only work in slot 1 but of course that should affect you either. So either slot should be fine I'd think!
