Hi,
Does anybody know if there is a plugin that displays the carrier and phone number of the current sim in the phone (other than Wivit Sim Switcher which does not yet work on WM5)? I travel significantly so am always swapping pre-paid sims and having to search for the number when on a call and it would be much easier to have it on the today screen.
Thanks
...why don't you use simmanager and put in your (simcard)number into the list with a name like MY NUMBER than it's always by hand...
Thanks, an option, but means I have to search through menus etc, to find the number and also key it in initially. I was looking for a small plugin that would automatically display the provider and number as soon as I put the sim in.
Hope you all would have used "Automatic SIM Selection" or "Remember SIM for a number" features in dual SIM Moto G (XT1033).
When "Automatic SIM Selection" is enabled, the phone will learn from pattern of use and automatically selects that as a preferred SIM when calling that contact.
"Remember SIM for a number" is available when you set “Ask every time I make a call” option in “Dual SIM settings->Call settings->Making calls”.
Once these are set, the dialer no longer asks for SIM for some contacts that have their preferences set. But you can always force a SIM for all calls by selecting a SIM as default in call settings.
The SIM preferences for a contact can be changed either by:
Tapping “Change SIM” during call. While this is the only option for unsaved numbers.
By opening contacts application and manually changing for each of the contacts by long holding the contact number
Though these are useful features, it can sometimes be frustrating if you dial a contact/number with wrong SIM (when rate cutter gets over in the SIM you have selected as default ).
You have to keep changing SIM for each and every contact/number for which you have given “remember SIM” or a SIM set automatically by the phone.
I was very much annoyed when I accidentally gave “Remember SIM” for an USSD code (the pop up dialogue to select SIM no longer appears). The code wasn’t saved on the phone or I didn’t get any calling screen (to tap change SIM) to change the SIM while dialing. The only option I had was to change the SIM in SIM settings whenever I wanted to dial that USSD code.
I tried clearing data of dialer/phone apps in settings, but of no use.. then I saw an built-in app called “Automatic SIM selection” (in Android 4.4.4, in older android versions - 'Smart Sim') under “ALL” category in settings->apps. Clearing data of this app deletes all the SIM preferences in one shot for all the contacts (even for unsaved numbers/USSD codes).
I googled a lot to find where these preferences are stored and how to clear them, but I wasn’t able to find. So I wanted to share this with you all.
Please click thanks if you find it helpful or share your ideas how you manage your dual SIM settings. Always happy to learn and help!

Very well documented thank you for the clear cut points and procedure

Thanks Man!!!! Awesome!!!
Not working with CyanogenMod resurrection remix rom
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
I found a way to remove remember sim on USSD code on my Moto G
Just add a new contact with number is the USSD code you are using (include special characters e.g. *, #). Then go to the new added contact, tap and hold the number then choose 'Clear default calling SIM'.

I believe this information is relatable to the successors of the Moto G too since the feature has been integral to the entire device line. I have a Moto G Turbo Edition from last year currently running Android 6.0.1 stock OS. The issue is that even after clearing the data of the Automatic Sim Selection app, it doesn't make a difference. Neither does it remember "smartly" which SIM to use nor does it allow me to force a particular SIM as the preferred SIM for calling. Which means no matter what I do, I always get a prompt to choose between the two SIMS and that's very annoying. What do I do?
is this applicable only to the stock ROM. cant find either 'Automatic SIM selection' or 'Smart Sim' in CM
Automatic SIM selection is not part of most custom ROMs i've tried. but wierdly enough, i can't select SIM for all landline calls i make. i just thought this might fix that.
ok, this may be irrelevant but I need "always ask" feature both for call and sending sms. but for sending sms this feature does not working on every custom MM 6.0 rom. only ID6 and CM13 has this function working. anyone here, knows any cause behind that?
Is it possibile to extract the apk from the stock rom and try to install into a custom rom ?

it is possible, provided that the system app/apk you are referring to does not depend on external components/libraries which are part of the stock ROM and not part of any custom ROMs.
Hi
Anyone know if the dialer codes such as (*#0*#)(*#0808#)*#1111# even doesnt show imei when dial *#06# have been disabled in the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 ,s6,s4 etc ? Nothing happens when I dial them how to enable these codes ?
Hi All, I have a connection with H2O wireless in USA. I have this weird problem with my S7 Edge G935FD where whenever I dial an International number, I get a message on screen that says "Number changed by sim" and then the number changes to an US number. This only happens when I dial an International number.
I tried the sim on a Note 2 where it's working fine and the number doesn't get changed. So I'm pretty sure it's something with the phone.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue because whatever International number I dial, I'm finally getting the US number in my call logs and it's impossible to know which number I dialed.

Bumping up. Any help guys?
Bump
Bump.
look if you have some sort of SIM management app. If not look under networks and advanced dialing options. You need to disable the automatic code. I think it's set to something and that's what would change the numbers.

I don't see any option where I could disable the automatic code. Looked everywhere in the phone. I don't have advanced dialing options either. I just factory reset my phone and still the same problem. Any help please?
I ran into the same problem and found that if the phone number is listed with a + in front of the area code, i.e. +4051112222, it will be changed by the sim.
To solve this, dial a 1 follow by the area code & number.
Where do I find the setting for this. It's on my S10 but not on the tablet.
At my S8 mobile I had to open settings menu from pulling down status bar. Then I pressed the search icon. I typed in
SMS
The phone will be searching a while before it popups. I also found in phone:
Settings -/ Advanced -/ Allow others SMS and Call
And one of the options showed SMS control which happens also to be Call and SMS message continuity. It shows only other devices like your tablet S5e or Tab S6 that have the same Samsung account.
First configure your tablet and enable it at your tablet first! Then start at your mobile phone the instructions. The menu in your mobile is somewhat hidden for now.
After success try calling your voicemail e.g. from your tablet and see what your mobile phone does.
Both devices must be online. So actually you have to read this guide twice. Would be nice if others post here too if it for them also works.
