Hi.
Am I being stupid or does my UK version not have dual SIM support? I cannot see how to fit in the 2nd SIM.
uk version doesnt have dual sim

if i was you i'd return and get amazon.de to deliver to uk address.
There is space for a second SIM on the UK version. Maybe its just software holding it back from being dual SIM?

I was thinking the same thing! I know the BLA L29 dual sim software can be flashed no problems it's been confirmed as working. What hasn't been confirmed is if we buy a dual sim card tray will the second SIM work?
It's been confirmed that if you rebrand using FHRebrandTool (NOT FHMate10Tool) the second sim becomes usable with a new tray.
Just flashing new software will not work. You must rebrand to L29.
But what about the second modem? I believe your phone has one IMEI number, hence single modem. It should be a hardware issue rather than software.

Yes. It will use one IMEI for both sims. But it works for people who tried it.

Wouldn't using 2 SIMs on the same network with 1 IMEI cause issues? Based on my understanding previously working for a UK network Provider.
It doesnt sound very promising.

You'd think so, but people have reported it works. I don't have a single-sim device to test it on, but at least in Spain it's confirmed working.

Hi guys, I've just got my replacement SIM card today but there is no signal for the SIM on my Galaxy SII Gingerbread 2.3.3. I popped the SIM into my old Nokia phone and it is working fine so I'm pretty sure it's not the SIM. I googled and looked around the forum but found no solution. Already message the carrier and they say the phone is not barred while the SIM is working fine on my old Nokia phone.
In the "About phone/Status" the phone number is unknown, network is O2 UK, signal strength is ok, mobile network type is "HSDPA", service state is out of service. IMEI number is normal. When I dial any number it says "mobile network not available".
If this thread existed before, I really apologize for making a new one. Any help is really appreciated
Have you entered the network details in the phones settings ??

Where'd you get the phone? Sounds like it's a SIM-locked phone...

I believe you're referring to the 3g network? If so then my problem lies in calling and texting itself. There is no network signal as there is only a circle with cross. If not, how do you enter the network detail

This phone is an international version I got from my home country Vietnam and it's already unlocked. I was using UK SIM fine until the December holiday. After I returned from Vietnam, the SIM stopped working and I ordered a replacement. Can flashing new kernel affect this cuz I tried some new one during the holiday? The IMEI is still normal though, I checked
i have a problem ...
with miui or wiui , my debit of 3G is bad. I download at 20 ko... with official rom i download a 300 ko ...
why ?

Have you tried the SIM in another phone? Or a different SIM in this phone? Could be either the SIM card is bad (which the replacement SIM will fix), or the SIM card slot on the phone went bad (which the replacement SIM WON'T fix).

Kind of rude to hijack someone else's thread... But I'll answer anyways. My guess is that your official ROM has modems more suited for your country and carrier, and MIUI (or WIUI - never heard of this one) doesn't. You can probably fix with flashing a different modem. But I can't tell you which modem to try.
I have always try e few modem and it's doesn't work .

Try some more. I doubt you've tried them all. Maybe some kind soul who is also on your carrier (which you have displayed on your profile as Orange) in your location (also in your profile as France) can tell you which one.
I popped the SIM into my old Nokia phone and it worked fine so it's not really the SIM. I was thinking maybe there is something wrong with my software but you brought up a good point about the SIM slot I'm gonna try it out and see first
ok . i will try another modem.
thanks
no, it doesn't work ... i have tried a modem who is ok with checkrom or ics or official samsung but don't work with miui . it's strange because it's ok with miui NDT
Hello XDA!
After reading here that all verizon S4''s are network free, I bought an almost new one to use in Europe(Romania).
But even after i checked global everywhere , the phone says"NO SIM-insert sim card", and refuse to work at all, no voice, data wtatsoever. Also, i cant change the APN (but since there isnt even voice or sms, it isn relevant at this point)
Is there any tutorial for a newbie that i could folow to get the phone working in 3G?
Thank you very much. P.S. I'm on 4.3 stock
I have the same problem. It says no SIM when I put my country's SIM card. When I put ATT sim, the phone shows that there a SIM inside the phone.
its odd, since it is supposed to be a global device. Maybe flashing a custom ROM should remove the restriction?

Sounds like you have a bad SIM, or perhaps something wrong with the way it's cut. My i545 works fine with European SIMs (other than the annoyance with the "Non-Verizon SIM" warning).
You can't change the APN since you don't have a SIM installed, and you can't use GSM without a SIM.

BTW, eKit is also gosim.com.
No, I'm not using CDMA - the service in the UK is all GSM. You install the SIM then set the phone to GSM mode to use it. I've used the eKit service for years, starting with my incredible 2 which is another CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.
When moving about, I get service from Vodaphone, O2, AT&T UK, and probably others. I really don't understand why your phone isn't recognizing the SIM.
Is the service in your country CDMA by any chance? You don't use a SIM to activate a CDMA phone, so perhaps what you have is some proprietary thing that's not a standard GSM SIM.
I fixed my problem by using a different SIM card. When I put it, it picked up the network automatically.
Hi, I recently bought a second hand s6 and the weird thing is that when I put in my SIM card it will only allow me to make emergency calls and says it's not connected, what could be the problem?

Is the sim detected or does it say "no sim"?? When my dad had that problem on his iPhone it was because the sim card needed to be adjusted.

Another theory is the sim card is incompatible with the particular model you have. Have you checked that out?

I would guess that your carrier will not work with that particular model of this phone. For example, I have Verizon as my carrier, and if I put my sim card in an AT&T branded phone I get the same issue as you.

That app shows it's TT network which is Telia and Telenor's combined network and my SIM card is from Telenor so wrong brand cannot be the reason.
I am kinda at a loss. All my ideas have been exhausted.
My next suggestion would be to contact Telenor and ask them directly about the problem.

It depends on the variant you have. Most don't have two full modems for it.
You need to check calling your SIM 2 number from SIM 1 and vice versa.

You can use one sim for 3g/4g and the other works on 2g only..

Nope, you can just go to settings>dual sim settings and change your other sim to perform 4g/3g and the first one to perform 2g. If I remember correctly, you don't even need a restart.
It just takes 4,5 secs and you are good to use 4g on the second sim.

I am new to Huawei. Currently on BLA-L09 8.0.0.125(C34) on Optus(AU). I want to rebrand it to Asia/International version.
The queries I have.
01. Can someone please point me to the right Zone Code (i.e. C34) which I should be using?
02. Is it safe to use ROM's for L29 in L09 set and change the Zone? (i.e. rebrand with L29 Asia/International ROM)
03. If I use a L29 Asia/International ROM and purchase a Dual Sim tray, does both the sim slot works?
Thanks in advance.
This thread is relevant to my interests (I also have a pro w/Optus).
I emailed the good guys at Funky Huawei. They pointed to me that, I need to change to C636. In settings, I can see two SIM support is now enabled. Ordered a dual SIM tray, once I get them delivered, I hope they do work. However, the only thing I am missing is the VoLTE support. The option is not in the settings anymore. I wont certainly wont miss the option much but still trying to find a way. Apart from that, the ROM is smooth.
where did you order the dual sim tray?

I did it because I needed the dual sim support that wasn't present with the firmware I was using.
The process honestly it's pretty straightforward, I can't complain.
Look like there no hope of having a lineage OS for our mate 10. It has been so long and no developer had build any of it.
I am also looking into rebranding.
Did you check with FH guys about support for Optus VoLTE???
I tried to flash firmware from Huawei frimware finder and bricked my Mate 10 pro. Is there any way I can fix it by flashing the stock firmware again?
I also have a m8 10 pro with optus. Thinking of doing this too hows reception any changes? Also does the AI still work i hear if you root then it gets disabled could you confirm it still works?

You don't need root to rebrand using FH tool.
Upon re branding I have lost VoLTE on optus. Today I have got the dual sim tray and I can confirm that it works. Using 131 C636 ROM

You could rebrand back to Optus model and have both VoLTE and dual sim. Even if you rebrand to a single-sim branding, FHRebrandTool gives you dual sim. The only caveat is, if you're on a single-sim branding, you can't put a PIN code on your sim card.
I'm I'm c34 and can't even get volte to work. Optus have been useless.
My Sim has volte enabled, as my wife's mate 10 pro has it working wth it.
After hours of 'tech support's and a trip to the useless staff as the store, the only advice I received was "can you come back tomorrow".
Useless.
