Identifying SIM for incoming call? - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using the s3 duos variant here, back on stock due to the tools problem.
Anyone know how to identify which SIM an incoming call is from before I answer it? (I have to pay to receive calls on one of my sims -- international roaming).

There are apps for this case.
I use dual SIM selector. I think there are settings for this case.
Maybe you should give it a try.

Tmobile 3g+voice..

People are trying to flash modems of Tmobile tab to enable 3g+voice.. There are so many assumptions.. MAYBE information are programed WITHIN the SIMS card... that so you can't make it work via flashing modems.
Just wondering....

i noticed that after flashing roto's 2g modem (only way to have voice calling as of now) i still could not make a call, a man would come on immediately saying "this phone cannot place outgoing calls"...something like that.
so i tried my g2 simcard and it worked perfectly. (t-mobile tab btw) so, even with slow speeds, it seems t-mo has it locked down by disabling the sim they give you.
comparing my g2's sim to the GT sim, seems that there are more contact points on the phones sim than there are on the tabs

First of all - "Not another TMo US 3G+Voice thread!". Please, no more!!!
I'm guessing here, but you're using a SIM you got with the Tab which has a webconnect plan? As far as I'm aware, these plans have no voice - so it's not the SIM, it's the plan it is linked to!

Can't make calls when on LTE mode

I have n9005 rooted TouchWiz stock on 5.0,
when my phone is on LTE mode i'am unable to make/receive calls.
Kindly help me solve this problem.
Is the phone set to LTE only? If it is, does the carrier support VoLTE?

LTE/4G is a Data-Only network. To make calls over it your carrier needs to support Voice Over LTE, or VoLTE for short. Which is the mobile equivalent of VoIP.\
If your carrier does not support VoLTE, and your device is only allowed to access LTE, you can't make calls. Change to 'LTE/WCDMA (Auto)' (4G/3G) or 'LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Auto)' (4G/3G/2G) mode so the phone can automatically change to a network that supports voice codecs.

Something appears to be preventing the automatic switch from LTE to 3G/2G. Did you do something in the Servce menu?

My device didn't had the LTE option first so i did something which i don't remember now, what it was, i did it when i never used LTE, but as now i'm using LTE and came accross this problem. also i have installed a network type toggle app.
Sorry for being such a nub but where do I go to change the mode? Option > network operation? Thanks

Not receiving incoming calls on AIRTEL 4G LTE
Iam facing peculiar problem with the phone. Need help with the problem.
I am using samsung note 3 LTE. When ever some one tries to call me, my mobile is Not reachable or out of coverage area even when my mobile is in my hand , perfectly working with the second sim. outgoing calls are working fine. Again, when I am in call, then if any one tries calling me, then I get call waiting. So incoming call waiting is working for me. But incoming calls are not able to connect. LTE data is working fine though incoming calls are not working. 
Tried the following but no luck. Problem still persists:
1. Reset phone and erase all data
2. Hard reset phone (volume down + poweroff and clear all data in drive)
3. Tried changing SIM to second slot
When I switch the sim back to 3G mode or 2g mode , incoming calls are working perfectly fine . I googled it and found that most people had same issue and was resolved on switching back to 3G or 2g . 
But I need to use 4g . Please tell me a solution.
I had that same issue until I took my note 3 to Rogers and they said that the note 3 doesn't support Lte
Your rom must support VoLTE.
I would unroot and go back to stock firmware, and see if problem still happens,? if it does ,its most likely the sim card.sd card reader slot, (flex cable),my Galaxy s4 had the similar symptoms , but LTE would work with a custom rom, but not if I used stock firmware, replacing sim card reader flex , just google your mak and model and search ebay. mine cost a few pounds for a decent quality part, so dont go rushing to buy the cheapest. No problems since replacing that part, even after resetting phone 3 times to see if it was a fluke. I know its a bit late for a reply, but this actually worked , I am 99% sure it would work for anyone else who has this problem with lte not connecting when 3G, and 2g do connect. If you have tried swapping sim cards, putting sim in another phone,, etc,etc. this part mentioned(sim card/sd card reader) is your culprit. Took me just over 5 hours of testing to find the solution. thanks and fair well android users

For many people having issues with LTE not connecting and diverting to voicemail on android, I am here to offer a solution to your woes. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, GT-I9505, and recently in in 2018 in July, I had the same problem, phone calls connected on Gsm, Wdcma, BUT when I tried LTe mode, NOTHING, WENT STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL.Anyway I tried almost everything mentioned on certain websites and forums, with some luck, Changing LTE mode to GSM worked, and I could receive and hear phone calls. So I investigated further, I tried re flashing stock firmware, factory resetting phone.(nothing worked). I then rooted my phone and flashed a custom rom (do not try this) as it could damage your device if flashed wrongly. Yeah, so I flashed a custom rom, and low and behold problem disappeared, so I used my phone on LTE for 2 days, with no problems, I then decided to go bacjk to stock firmware, ...problem came back, not connecting to LTE mode..........being as patient as I can be, never gave up, and had a spare phone which was dead, just laying in the drawer, ..so ,I took phone apart and thought, it must be where simcard contact make contact with sim card reader contacts ( broken sim card /sd card reader part, and was I wrong, no, it actually was the sim card reader part which coonects with th motherboard, Voila, I am 99% sure if anyone else has this problem with any android that has LTE capabilities, and you know its not the sim card, then try this fix first, MAKING SURE YOU GET SOMEONE YOU KNOW TO HELP YOU , IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHERE TO BUY AD HOW TO FIT. hope this has helped,and I know it is a long thread, but hopefully it will be a solution that works for whoever reads and trie this, over and out. yours in sincerity, Tech82, from Surrey, England.

In fairness post might be useful to some .
Where it is actually the sim holder .
But 99% of the problems are not the sim holder .
Though very odd that S4 user makes only one post and that's on a Note 3 forum not his phones forum .
i am facing the problem with my LGF180
This is Note 3 forum not your phone .

Please help! S5 not making/receiving calls. Works with one sim card not the other.

Got the S5 the other day from my sister and tried to swap my spanish sim (from galaxy nexus) into the phone only to find it takes a micro sim. Had a look online and saw that you can try and cut the other one down. I have done this and sms and 4g work fine, but when I try to make a call it cuts out and says "call forwarding". I thought I'd try my english sim which is a micro and macro (has a pop out border). I can make calls with that in.
So... Is it the sim? Maybe network settings or something needing updating? Strange that data and sms work but calls don't.
Thanks for reading.

[H990DS] SIM1 and SIM2 simultaneous voice call issues.

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) ?

Lumia 950XL Single Sim after network dropped 3g.

I purchased a brand new 950XL Single Sim to still use on Puretalk an ATT carrier. Strange it only drops call and will not call out? I have a prototype 950XL ss that makes calls with the same sim. The prototype is stuck on a really old version of Windows Phone.
The new phone I purchased took the entire day to update to the latest release and refuses to make a call. Texting works fine.
Any ideas?

First, ask the mobile operator of your SIM card.
Ok, I tested everything with my carrier. The new 950XL can text and surf but it will not call out. It says drop call immediately.
Any help is appreciated!
Does it drop toll free emergency number without SIM and with SIM in phone?
Did I understand correctly that it receives incoming calls?
It drops all calls. As soon as you hit the call icon it drops the call without trying. Incoming calls do not work either, they go right to voicemail. My other 950XL SS that is a ATT prototype and stuck on an early windows version calls out just fine.
It is possible that the Radio Interface Layer is partially corrupted (software, by an incorrect update or hardware).
Switch to GSM or HSPA and try.
I don't see where to do that in settings?

			
				
I tried this and it didn't fix the problem. Maybe something is corrupted? I did notice that I don't have the double tab to open screen option.
Thank you.
It seems to be because the international versions of the 950 XL do not support VoLTE.
Do you have a suggestion what firmware I should flash for success?
Just started trying to get this phone working. Does anyone have a success story with the 950xl single sim on a US based carrier?
I have that phone in Spain and I can't call too. I just rescue it and I would love to make it run.
