prog. for dual sim ...

Hello,
is there any possibility to know what sim of a dual sim is activated???
i want to write a plugin (homescreen eg.) that shows me ok sim 1 or sim 2 ...
maybe there's an internal sim serial or so that we can readout the phone and use??
please help
thx steve

I had the same thought when I got mine.
I just use phonealarm - the scroller can be set up to display the current phone number.
Takes a couple of minutes to update, but works well.

Folks
Can I ask which dual sim adaptor are you using with your Hermes, and which networks?

Dual sim adaptor 10th generation (with Sim Tool Kit) and two 64k or more SIM cards, network doesn't matter.

sim status switcher
Hi,
i have become the wm2003 software of wiVmobile to run under the tytn...
only problem i have is that i don't become a phone nr. of my sim???
what is the problem??
did not all operators show the number??

ok... a few steps more...
to view the nr. i have to add under program /sim/ extras/eigene nr...
but how can i read out that volume in programming???
the sim swichter tools is very unstable...
i only want 1line in today wheres the nr. displayed nothing more..
can someone help ??
please+

If you want to program yourself...
I saw many apps showing IMSI code of the SIM. This code is unique for each SIM.

...
anyone knows a programm that reads such fings? and shows on home screen??
or is there any app available that reads out the phone nr. of the sim and shows on home screen??
steve

Apologies for delay in replying.
PhoneAlarm does do what you want, you just need a skin with a scroller region. Not all skins have them, including the ones you get by default. Try the SWIIQVGA or HGS6 skins. You'll also need to go into config to set the Telephone # as being displayed in the scroller.
You can create your own skins too. If you want you can create a skin with only a scroller region and set it to only display the tel # I suppose. Should be able to set the size of the text too.
BTW I use the sam as Pof. Works OK, if you can overcome your fear of taking a pair of scissors to your SIM cards.

Network Problem!

Hey guys...i've just installed onyx 4.7 WM6.1 on my HTC Touch, and it never selects the network when it starts, i have to turn off the phone the cellular radio and turn it on again everytime the phone starts to select the network so any one got answer to this problem please?!

Mmm, this problem is quite unheard off.
Anyway, I have a quick solution for you, go to:
Start -> Settings -> Go to the Personal Tab -> Phone -> Go to Network Tab -> and under Network Selection you might want to set that to manual and select the operator of the network.
Do remember, when you go and roam (Travel Overseas) Make sure you set that back to automatic, so you can connect to other countries networks.

i have made it on manual already and i didnt work either...look i have removed the sim while installing the rom..mayb i should try and install it again with the sim in the mob?!!

mmm, have you tried other operator's sim?
If they can work, means your sim fault.
Vice Versa, if the new sim card dont work, thats most likely your phone's fault?
Have you tried hard-resetting?

well...about that i found what's wrong and i installed 2 different roms and the same problem exists!!
the problem is when the fone starts it doesnt ask me for the pin while it requires the pin 2 start....soo when i enter the pin in the phone setting it runs normaly
so what i've currently done is making it not 2 ask 4 the pin code
but i still dont like that option but i dont know what 2 do?
in the same way when i put my sim in my old fone..it runs normaly and asks me 4 the pin before it starts?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

mayb this's a radio problem?!!!!!!!!! i tried to install the new one 3.39 but i'm still facing the same problem?!!

What pin can that be?
Is it your sim card pin?
Check with your operator if there is a 'PIN Code' locked on your sim card.

yes..the sim card pin!

Yup, call your operator for details.
Your operator is the person who charges you for your monthly bill!
They will guide you through it, just tell them that you lost your PIN code for your sim card.

I'm going to try to downgrade the radio version...but i want 2 be sure if that is ok, and wont destroy anything in my phone

Yup, no problem, its okay to do that.
Whats the problem now

No Service on Spica

Hi,
I have bought a a Simlock free Spica at ebay; Austria.
First start works good, Wlan works perfect.
But if i put my SIm Card in it it says no service.
I've checked it with a cheat code and it is unlooked
The IMEI is complete and the same as on the back of the Spica.
i made a factory rest, two time.
But still no service.
I've contact the seller, he told me that the Device is working for one year with an Orange and a 3 SIM, he had never problems with it.
It has the FW 2.1
PDA: I570EXXJF2
Phone: I570EXXJD1
CSC: I570EOXEJF1
That will be ok, i thought.
I have tested the spica with a Simyo Sim and an over a year old O2 SIM.
Both tell me it is a O2 or a Simyo Card, but no service.
Ah, as i left the simyo card over night in the spica, the nitofication bar tolde me Unregistered SIM.
Please Help me,
i'm new to android and i need theis phone
PS Sorry for my bad english.

It seems that the phone is sim-locked.
And that only Orange-Sim-cards work on the phone.

Can not be, cause if i checked it with
*#7465625# = Check the locks
it say no locks.
Network lock
off
Subset lock
off
SP lock
off
CP lock
off

trying to change yout sim card ?
if doesn't work, try to update your spica to samdroid mod.

I had a similar problem on a Samsung 5230 phone when i was in Thailand. It did not recognice the network what ever I did. Restart did not work.
What i did is:
1) Take the battery out of the phone.
2) Take the sim card out of the phone.
3) Start the phone without the sim card.
4) Switch off the phone normally.
5) Take out the battery
6) Put in the sim card you want to use
7) Put in the battery.
8) Power up the phone again and pray.

LG Optimus Unlock -- Strange Security?

Hey guys, strange problem:
Got a Telus LG Optimus 7. Want to unlock it to Rogers. Got the unlock code, however when I use my Rogers SIM the Optimus asks for a 'PUK' number.
Long story short, I called Rogers, they gave me the PUK for my SIM. When I enter it I get 'SIM Error'. So I went to a Rogers store and got a new SIM card with a new PUK--same error. Tried someone else's Roger's SIM--still asks for PUK.
I called around, no one has any idea what's going on. Google can barely help. Telus tells me I have to pay $50 to get it off their network, but I can't trust the rep knew what the problem was and they won't just give me an unlock code I already have. A 'cell phone repair shop' tells me LG phones are impossible to unlock anyway (? really?). So my question is:
How do I unlock this phone? What kind of security is this (could the PUK refer to someother other than a SIM's PUK)? Anyone have experience unlocking a Telus Optimus? Can I flash this thing and see if it'll bypass the PUK part?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Other wise I have to try and resell this phone.

So, I re-flashed the phone anyway, just to see if it works.
Now it's a little different. Now it asks for a PUK and once I enter that it tells me to create a PIN. When I do it says SIM ERROR! So while I can get a little farther it still errors out!
I've tried both the Telus flash and the Mexico flash.
So if it's not the firmware, what could be causing this?!

PIN & PUK security depends on SIM card functionality, in this case phone software is transparent and does not verify PIN. IMHO it looks like incompatibility between SIM card and WP7 phone or strange configured SIM card. Try on another non-WP7 phone, maybe if you set or disable PIN code card will function on WP7 phone.

Thanks for the tip elektryk. I think you're on to something.
I have tried the SIM in a non-WP7 phone. It works fine. I put it in both an iPhone and BB. Using the iPhone I created a PIN then tried the Optimus. It now asks for a SIM pin--which I input, then goes back to the PUK screen which still fails.
It seems to be a very strange incompatibility with the SIM, even though I've read reports of Telus Optimus being unlocked for Rogers SIMs.
Bad luck I suppose?

I have exactly the same problem. I put a SIM with PIN security enabled, and after I enter the correct PIN requests the PUK!! and if I disable the PIN secure, request inmediatly for the PUK. The Phone say: Your phone is Blocked. Contact the Service provider for an unlock code.--- the only problem is that I don't use the AT&T service, so I can't contact them!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Fabian, I could not find a way around the problem so I sold the phone. Luckily there was another e900h which was unlocked for sale. The guy followed the same steps I did but it never asked for a PUK. Weird how some phones do and others don't (especially considering both phones were from the same provider).
EDIT: Hey, try this, see if it works: Try without sim card for enter the unlock code. and type 2945#*900# for enter the unlock menu

Hey, start the phone without sim card, but no unlock code required, no where to type.

I've a E900h where none of the 5 unlock codes provided worked for some reason. Haven't ask for PUK yet but lost as to what to do right now.
Typing 2945#*900# just produces a failed msg - top left hand corner is a file icon with lock on the left.

In our country ones you buy a sim from network provider.
they give us a card with a PUK code for the sim we buy.
Try to contact your service provider.
Unlock codes is For unlocking SIm Only.
you can switch different SIM f u have unlock codes.
it is different with SIm Pin Code.
You can get Ur PUK Code to your service Provider.
what country were u from??
PRESS THANKS IF I HELP!!

Wrong number showing in About Phone > Status

Hi all,
I recently upgraded from a Note 2 to a Note 4.
Will try and explain the issue - it's only small but bugs me.
My previous sim was Orange and the new sim is EE 4G.
As this was an upgrade I was told my number would transfer to this new phone (Orange and EE are basically the same company in the UK - in fact my old Note 2 showed EE as the network carrier with the Orange sim).
My problem is when I put the new sim supplied in my new Note 4 according to the phone company the sim will take on a temp number until the transfer is complete. However when I make calls to others, my number appears correctly on their phones (same number as was in Note 2). I can no longer make calls on my Note 2 so assume the transfer has been actioned.
HOWEVER the phone is still showing the wrong (temporary?) number in About Phone > Status.
I can find no way to clear this and display the correct number.
Any ideas?!?

Mine does same too.. Im on ee but transfered my old number over but phone shows only number ee gave me

I dont think you can do anything until your provider remotly update your sim.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

Thanks guys,
I received an update this morning requesting I reset phone.
After reset I now have correct number albeit the international dialling version - starts 00447 rather than 07 but that's near enough for me.
Strange how all other sims I have display normal non-international number but meh.

Mine is on o2 and shows international number as well. Guess this is how the new 4g sims work on the Note 4.

I recently switched to EE from 3 and the sim had the temporary number, so that was displayed in About Phone. I popped the card in an iPhone, edited the number and put it back on my Note.

>I bought my sprint note 4 and it was sim-unlocked r(I'm not in usa) .
>Bricked it while rooting
>.Odin stock rOm .
> surprise ! Sim locked
>.tried everything .
> give up ( last option seems I'm gonna need a box something )
> use it for months
> for music transfer download KIES .
> get a software update and W'allah Sim is unlocked again .
> Now I'm using etisalat sim .
> But the number in phone info isn't mine ( looks international )
so there's that thought I'd share .
ThanKs

the number is stored on the sim
android phones dont offer the feature to edit it for some reason
pop it in an old dumb phone
Sony Ericsson K800i etc and edit it there
then pop back in your android device
