Hi Lads,
I bought an Honor 7 EU, because it was the only one can run two SIM connected to 4G and 3G at the same time also with active data connection. The only limit is that the first SIM must be connected to 4G to allow second SIM linking to 3G networks.
I saw the review on an Italian Blog (by A.Galeazzi on HDBlog) were the phone was on 4G on SIM1, and 3G on SIM2 and was explained also a sort of download boosters which use the two data networks simultaneously.
Unfortunately for me (ut of the box with release b100 and later with updated b121) the phone has always been connected to 2G networks on SIM2.
On a side note, I have a Wind Plan in Italy, that is correctly connecting to 4G Networks, while the second SIM is 3IRL which theoretically should connect to a 3G network Three UK/ITA. Unfortunately the issue is that the second SIM is roaming not on 3 sister Network but in 2G on a different network.
This for me is a big deal because with 3 IRL I have free calls and sms even when roaming (3 Like Home), as long as the phone is connected to a sister network (ergo 3ITA or 3UK). I use 3IRL for work, this means i'm an heavy users, so it is vital that the second SIM is on a sister network (3Italy/3UK) to avoid crazy roaming charges.
By the way, on the SIM 1, I would also like to have the data from Wind Italy in 4G, when staying in Italy, so I can get connected to 4G network in Italy and UK and Ireland.
How can I fix? Anyone out there who can help or point me in the right directon?

Have you found a solution ? I have two 3UK sim cards and can't use them both, have to switch between them. Please let me know, thanks!

Are you sure this is the case? As far as a I knew the Honor 7 EU can run one SIM on 3G/4G and the other on 2G only when both SIM's are in the phone at the same time. It's the Chinese version which allows 3G/4g on both SIM's at once (and has 64GB internal storage). I could be wrong but I'm sure someone else can clarify.

never had two sim in my eu honor, but only one sim can do 4g, and the other i think it is 3g and not 2g
correct me i am wrong
Any updates on this? Can any phone actually run 3G/4G or at least 3G/3G at the same time? (or full autoswitch on call to 3G?)
I'm interested in the voice part only, for both cards to be 3G, without having to manually switch. 4G/3G would be a bonus

how tell you Chinese version allows 3G/4g on both SIM's at once ( I have 64GB internal storage ) this not correct. the chinese version the same EU version not diffecult .
I have this problem. SIM1 connected 4G, SIM2 can only use 2G. Phone was bought in Beijing. Settings allow you to make either one of them but not both triband.
Second SIM is not connecting properly unless i switch the setting to allow SIM2 slot to be triband enabled. Then i get on, but the SIM1 becomes useless for data.
I have looked all over for a dual sim phone that will allow both sims to connect using 3G or 4G at the same time.
Does such a phone exist?
There are many dual sim phones that look quite nice, such as the LG G4 or OnePlus 2, but it appears they all allow only one sim to use 3G/4G while the other has to use 2G
This seems like a ridiculous restriction since 2G is no longer supported by many carriers and soon won't be supported by any carriers in some countries. Surely there are dual sim phones which allow two 4G connections? Or even 3G+4G.
Is 1+X dual sim active?

According to the official site it's DualStandby.
"Go anywhere and be connected. Your OnePlus X is unlocked and capable of using dual standby SIM cards with 4G speeds right out of the box. You have the freedom to use it all over the globe, no questions asked." https://oneplus.net/in/x

Yes, I'm using two simcards. :good:
Also check with your service provider before you buy! I just got OPX and put in my korean and my austrian sim card....and well, surprise! The 3G network here in Korea (and apparently in Japan) does not allow 2 active sim cards in one phone. I'm screwed...
Jep, its working.

I asked and got this answer from UNDERkg on youtube: It's not the matter of allowing or not. Dual SIM phones only support one 3G/4G at a time at which the other SIM gets to only pick 2G signals up. Korean networks do not have compatible 2G networks and therefore the secondary SIM has no signal for itself.
I knew that korea had no 2G network but the OPX description says something like 'dual sim 4G standby' or that's what I understood. so I thought it would be working in korea...
There seems to be a bit of confusion here. I'm very curious to know if the Oneplus X is dual sim ACTIVE?
To be clear there are basically two types of dual SIM phones, active and standby. Standby means you can only use one SIM at a time, so you have to switch back and forth. Active means you can use both SIMs at the same time. In other words you can receive a call on either SIM without switching.
I need to know if the Oneplus X is active or standby.....thanks
Hello my everybody, Happy July 4th to you all.
Please does any V10 H962 owner experience this same issue?
Please do you have an idea of what might be wrong with my phone. My dual sim is no long standby. Sim 1 usually get 4G LTE and Sim 2 Gets 3G and 2G voice. Now I can only use either Sim 1 or Sim 2 at once. When One sim on 4G LTE, the second sim will Not get signal/coverage until I switch back to other one. Pls what can I do? I have migrated from MM to Lollipop, still the same issue.
Please any help will appreciated.
In which country are you living?
Most of the mobile carriers are switching off 2g networks. So make sure they are not doing so in your country.
The Lg V10 dual sim puts one sim on 4g and the other on 2g, since the 2g Network is shut off the phone has not signal on the second sim card.
I think it's time to get a new phone that supports 4g on both sims or 4g/3g
I know that you can choose either SIM for 4G data. My question is, if I'm using one SIM for data, will the other SIM be 2G only, or 3G as well.
The reason I ask is that the US carriers are phasing out 2G entirely, meaning that soon you will need 3G for calling (not just data) and any device or SIM slot limited to 2G will not work at all.
2G only.
