I have been trying to use a dual sim adaptor with Athena but would not boot with it on. Anybody had any success? It will be great for me to be able to use both 3 and standard without removing the sim. it is a pain to remove it on Athena as this is under battery and sometimes needs a flat screwdriver to remove it...

Do you mean dual SIM or dual SD?
Dual sim of course not dual SD
Well, i've got an old DualSIM adaptor (anlog) which worked fine on my Himalaya.
My Athena boots without problems when i use this adaptor, but it takes me 3 or 4 restarts of the phone to get the DualSIM adaptor changin the SIM.
But i guess i have some issues with my SIMCards, they really look screwed up, makes me wonder why they work anyway
Maybe a newer Radio could have an impact on this Issue too.
Right now i use Radio 1.50 and AP Dual PK3.
If your SIMCards are screwed up the Athena won't boot, also my SIMAdaptor needs both SIMCards entered. With only one SIMCard in it, the Athena won't boot.
BTW: SIMDisplay (can be found on sourceforge.net) is the perfect Todayscreen Plugin for Displaying the active SIM.
I have one running but ...
finally I obtained a Simore dual sim working. But my problem is due I have one line for voice and other one for data, if should be possible to have some mechanism that in base to which sim is activated obtaining working the data connection or not. Do you know if it is possible?
Hi Beginner. Could you please post the model info of the Simore dual SIM you found worked with Athena? I'm currently looking for one. Thanks.

The Connection Setup Wizard will detect the network that you've just switched to and offer to set your data connection to match it. It'll do that every time the network changes.
If you're looking to buy a SIMore dual SIM adapter for the Athena, DON'T. The SIMore dual SIM won't let you connect to WCDMA network so you won't be able to use HSDPA or 3G!!!! I bought one from them and in the process of getting an RMA to return this piece of junk back to them now. Their online ad is fraudulent when they say it's 3G compatible. It is not. It only let you connect to GSM which only offers up to EDGE.
Is there any dual SIM adapter that will let you connect at 3G speeds out there?
PS: If you're only using EDGE at the moment and don't think you will ever never for the rest of your life upgrading to HSDPA, then by all means, flush your money down the toilet and buy this expensive piece of junk.
Thanks for the warning. Thought it was useful to have.
no dual sim
shame there is none yet. it will be great to have a truely dual phone. Networks will hate it
I think it could be posible but not easy to create a soft sim somehow. instead of having to change my three.co.uk hdspa compat sim between Athena (why the hack they do not do the sim reader as a slot accessible without removing battery) and my mac laptop is a nightmare. I tried to use Wifirouter, but it crashes athena quite often.

Under the factory ROM I never had it crash, even with hours of use at one time. I haven't used it under AP4 yet. Maybe you have a conflict with another program?
not installed anything apart tomtom 6 legal

Iam not sure what are you explaining.
are you using a dual sim system?
does it works? which is it?
thanks.
i tried using few none worked. I find very difficult in swaping sims without the add o a flat screwdriver, also removing battery is not fun.
I am wondering if it will be possible in developing a virtual sim card that will copy the info from our sim card allowing the phone to work with it?
I have seen a few dual sim card adaptors that sellers are claiming work with the Mini Pro. Has anybody tried them or have any thoughts/advice regarding them?
I don't expect they will be dual standby (both working simultaneously) but I am still interested to do this rather than carrying 2 phones around.

If it worked it would be great. Does anyone know if it works? Maybe booth could work together with some app... I don't know, when it comes to Cellphones I'm a total Noob..
Waiting answers..
I have a double sim (one sim with 2 number) from vodafone, wich is basicaly the same as a dual sim adapter.
It works as it should.. the only bugger is that every time you change the active sim, it forces you to re.login to your google account.

How do you change between the two numbers? Did it cost you extra to get this from Vodafone?
The double sim is a product from vodafone.. About 15euro once for it. You give them your numbers and in 1- 2 days you get the new card.
To change betwen numbers you have several options. Either the sim menu and select the numer you want.. Boot the phone and and use he pin you want.(each number has a pin) or dial 0 or 00 to reboot the sim. The phone asks for the pin

Anyone using these adaptors? I need to order one for my phone.
I have a Vodafone and an O2 sim using an Xperia Mini Pro and want to have both in it at the same time.
Just want to know if it will work on an Xperia Mini Pro which might not be the same as the X10 Mini Pro for compatibility or whatever. Never done this before.
Check out www.magic-sim.com I got one for my Samsung galaxy s2 from them and it's a great little device. There's a compatibility checking function on the website so you could check the mini pro there.
I used it, 3 years ago... You only require a phone with a "sim menu", (the one with your carrier options... And a case big enough to be able to close it with this sim that is a little bit thicker.
The one I tested made disappear your carrier "sim menu", and replaced it with a custom menu that allowed to change the sim... Even allowed to schedule the changes...
The bad thing is the time it takes to obtain signal after making the change ( the same time it takes when you turn on the phone), and that you have to cut your SIMs to be able to insert them...
Now I sow one that did'n require to cut the Sim, but I think that's too big for lots of phones.
The one I have from magic-sim fits really well. Sim switching takes about 4 seconds. It sounds like the technology has improved a lot since you used it.
how it connects, in layers?
so, this adaptor don't make the phone work with the two sim at the same time?

I've seen 3 presentations...
One next to the other, In layers, And in standard sim size, (croping your two sim cards and inserting them inside the other)...
Depending on your device It can or not fit the phone case.

No. For that purchase a chinese or a black berry with 2 3 or 4 sims.
Is there any android with such a feature? It would make grate "spy phones"
Hey all,
Through a combination of misfortune and greed, I ended with a possible clone Galaxy S3 last night. I think it could be a clone, as the About Phone options are not complete (No Hardware/CPU info) and lack of Samsung Apps.
Also, the internal memory is less than 1GB.
Externally, the phone looks real, including the identification sticker at the back. Internally, there are some issues.
The phone is only connecting to 2G networks on Edge or Gprs, even though the SIM will connect to 3G or HSPA on another handset (means the SIM is correctly working on 3G).
In addition, there boot logo also splashes Android logo between Samsung, unlike normal S3.
Unlike my work mate's S3, which I compared it against, the SIM card and MicroSD card slots are located towards the top of the battery. Whereas my colleague's SIM card and MicroSD card slots are located towards the bottom. My phone takes a normal SIM, whereas my colleague's phone takes a Micro SIM.
I believe I have ended up with a clone. What is the best I could do with it (technical suggestions) ? I did not buy it to use, as I have another working handset with me.

You won't get any support here as you don't have the genuine S3. What you can do is sell that one to buy a genuine S3 or find a forum that supports that clone.
Here you won't get any so tough luck for you. You should've been more careful on buying such devices.
Can you kindly confirm if this is indeed a clone, as I am unsure myself.

Sorry it does not respond to the code, meaning it is a clone.
yeah.. if it was on stock rom.. check the android version if 4.1.9 and if it is, it was a clone
The android version is 4.0.3

The 'minor' hardware differences are the clincher, it's very difficult to exactly replicate both form and function when reverse engineering. Some clones can look very similar from the outside but take the back off and it becomes clear that they are working from a limited bin of parts to get something that will even switch on.

lel2asaf your phone is a clone :/ Try checking the paper under the phone battery , or download a game to check its performance
Your phone is a copycat. Sorry.
Hello XDA,
As the title states, I would like to know the difference between single SIM roms and dual SIM roms. Searching around didn't give me any real answers.
To further specify, I would like to know as to how much of the OS has to be modified in order to bring it from single SIM to dual SIM state in full detail, preferably until file names. As to why, I would like to create a virtual GPRS/3G module and for that I need to modify RIL but I would like retain OS's native RIL, so instead I was thinking of taking a single SIM rom and just add dual SIM capability on to it. Obviously to do it right I will be taking dual SIM rom from somewhere for comparison. The difficulty of this task would be that since the module is not on the same chip as most phones have them on, its virtual, there probably will be difference.
And do you guys think this is possible?

I just bought tab s7+ wifi (T970). While i was trying to insert microsd card into the tray i realized it also has space to insert sim card in it. First i thought it might just be it so that Samsung doesn't have to make another tray for wifi models. Then i saw sim connectors inside the slot. I tried searching it online,what other people had to say. Most of the people said that there is no modem for it,some said it might be a software limitation. As far as i know the snapdragon 865+ has an inbuilt 4g modem.If there is no modem in it, then why add connectors for it on the first place.
It would be great if anyone with a rooted device can try flashing firmware from carrier,or just check if it was possible to get sim working.
My T870 has the same thing. Instead of producing two different trays, Samsung put a blank where the SIM would go on the WiFi only models (T870 and T970). Just because you can pull that blank out and insert a SIM card doesn't mean it will work in your T970.
You can try of course, but it won't work. Nor will it likely hurt anything.
Yes, the Snapdragon 865+ has a built in 4G modem, but unless it is enabled in the firmware, it won't work. By firmware, I am not talking ROM/OS level. I am talking chip level firmware.
And even then I'd assume there are no 4g antennas in the WiFi model!
This has been discussed before.
The SIM tray is simply plugged with a blank on WiFi only units.
The SIM/SD Card slot is there (most likely to keep parts and manufacturing costs down), but it lacks a 4G modem and does not have any cell antennas.
