How can I get rid of the sim lock? - Samsung Gear S

My sim card has that annoying sim lock where I have to enter a 4 digit pin every time I switch on the watch. Is there anyway I can disable that from within the watch? I know it would be easy to do on a phone, but I have no device that takes nano sim.

Just try to remove sim unlock in a phone, after that insert your sim in the S. This should work.

Settings -> Gear Info (At the Bottom) -> Sim Card Settings -> Uncheck Pin lock

[Q] Save "Pin" of SIM card in Galaxy S II

Hi,
I have a prepaid sim card. When ever i start my phone, i have to enter the pin of the sim card.
In Nokia I was able to save this PIN in one of the phone settings and thus it enabled me to restart my phone and use it without me entering the PIN.
Is there any setting like in Galaxy S II? Searched couldn't find it.
My phone is unbranded just in case
thanks
you can disable the PIN in security settings. No idea if that works the way you want it to but give it a try:
go to Settings -> Location and Security -> Sim Lock (translated roughfly, maybe it says something similar) -> untick "Lock SIM Card"

[Q] SIM PIN

Hello All,
I recently rooted my ATT SGS2 and now it doesnt allow me to set a pin for the sim.
"Lock SIM card" under "Set up SIM card lock" is diabled and when I try to check it, it asks me a pin and when I enter some pin it says its a wrong pin. It only has 4 or 5 attempts and now I have only one attempt left. What is happening here. Any ideas?
I am unable to post link.
I just picked up my S2 last week and just started exploring this very thing. I thought it would be good to lock my SIM but, when I clicked on to use a pin and then change pin, it asks me for the old pin which I don't have. It went from 5 attempts left to one, even though I only entered one pin thinking I was setting it up. Now I'm afraid to touch it and I can't deselect the "Lock SIM Card" checkmark without entering a pin. I'm so confused. I've searched in XDA about it, but can't find anything.
Any gurus out there that might be able to help a twit that was smart enough to leave BB and come to Android?

Most likely its all 0's zeros.. that's what all my cell phones uses by default.
so if you purchased the phone brand new never used then 99% all zero's
Well, doing a little more searching and a -lot- more reading, I discovered that the 8 digit code is under your cell phone account at your carrier's site. I went to ATT, found the PUK code (eight digits). That's the pin. You enter that first, then you can change the pin to whatever you like. I opted to leave it alone.

Network PIN and Keyboard in Free Xperia on Xperia Mini Pro

Hey,
it took me a while to figure out these two simple things to get FXP114 working on my Xperia Mini Pro, so I thought I'd share them, maybe it'll help somebody else.
Issue 1: Phone asks for "SIM network unlock PIN" after input of regular SIM PIN. No PIN works, and just hitting "Dismiss" results in the phone being offline.
Solution: In Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Mobile Networks, enable "National data roaming". Then reboot and hit "Dismiss" for "SIM network unlock PIN". The phone works now, and you can disable "National data roaming" again. On subsequent boots, just hit "Dimiss", the phone will work regardless (apparently "National data roaming" only needs to be enabled at boot once).
Issue 2: Keyboard doesn't work
Solution: Go to Settings -> Device Settings, choose a keyboard layout, and reboot.
Hope this helps someone!

Dialler - am I missing something?

Is there a way to pick which SIM to make a call from from within the Dialler?
At the moment (without using a 3rd party dialler) I have to change the Dual SIM settings - changing the default calling SIM, which then refreshes all the SIM info. Seems a bit long-winded just to make a phone call from SIM 2 for example, when SIM 1 is the default in the settings.
Maybe I'm missing something?

Under Dual Sim Settings there is the default calling Sim option, if you set this to "Not Set" then you get two green phone symbols within the dialler, allowing you to choose which network to dial with for each call.

Dual SIM Selector

Having issues with this app - anyone else got it working?
It seems to disable the ability to call out on SIM 1 and only way i have found to renenable it is a hard reset (it says 'radio off' when using it).
I find this app essential to use dual SIM phones with android auto.
Hi,
Am having the same problem.
Dual SIM Selector didn't work properly untill I disabled automatic energy management for this app in the battery section of the phone's settings menu (together with either of the two SIM cards selected for calls in the phone's dual SIM menu). It worked well after this.
Then (don't know if this is in any way related) Google Assistant (G Apps?) started asking questions about which SIM to use for data, calls and sms-messages. I tried to ignore it for a little while, but it kept popping
up. So eventually I figured I answer questions, get it over with, event though these settings were already set in the phone's settings menu. And so I choose to set all the settings in accordance to how the were in the phone's settings menu: use SIM 1 for data, calls and sms-messages.
Since then, I can use SIM 2 for incoming calls, but not for outgoing calls. During automatic selection (beit when Dual SIM Selector knows which SIM to use, or when Dual SIM Selector needs to ask me) the app shows SIM 2 is being used, but it turns out SIM 1 is dialing. Have tried different settings in the settings menu, as well as in Dual SIM Selector. Keeps on using SIM 1. Even when I set the menu to choose which SIM card to use at each call: I get the option to choose for SIM 2, but it uses SIM 1 no matter which SIM I pick.
And when I disable SIM 1, and set all phone and/or app settings to use SIM 2, my phone tells me "radio off" and stops dialing. It really feels to me some app (G Apps?) is overriding my phone and/or app settings after a one time configuration.
Do you recognize any interference of Google apps?
Have you been able to fix the issue, or found alternatives/workarounds?
I have same issue.
Somehow I resolved it by manual carrier selection, but it came back when i rebooted my device.
Did anyone elese had same issue?

I reached out to the developer to report the issue as the app is clearly doing something to disable outgoing calls on the non default sim. Not had a response sadly.

And ? Any news ?
Not a sausage.
I just use true phone dialler now. Android Auto works fine with dual SIM selector so no need for it anymore.
