Hi everyone. This is my first dual sim phone so please be patient if this is common knowledge, but I tried to search and couldn't find anything. My device is a Mido, running Pixel expereince. I also posted in the thread for that ROM, but I'm not sure if it's a ROM issue or I'm just missing something so I am posting here as well.
I have the phone set up to use sim 1 for calls and sms, and sim 2 for data. But when it is set like this sim 1 cannot send or receive mms. When I try to send an mms it just stays stuck on sending but never goes through, and when I need to receive an mms, it says downloading but never downloads. If I toggle to use sim 1 for data, the mms then goes through or is downloaded.
On other phones, when I try to send an mms, even when I am on wifi, the H+ signal comes on briefly for the data to go through for the mms. What I have now is the x above the signal indicator for sim 1 never goes away while trying to send or receive mms, meaning the phone never attempts a data connection on that sim, unless I toggle the switch to use data on that sim..
Is there a solution? Is this how dual sim phones always works or is it a problem of the ROM?
Thanks in advance.

Can aybody please help. I have my XDA and at present an NEC e606 phone that came as part of my contrat with 3. The XDA is unlocked and I can use my 3 Sim Card with it and can happily make calls, receive calls and receive text messages on my XDA.
I cannot however send text messages using my XDA with the 3 Sim Card. Whenever I do I get an error that says 'The sim card is invalid. Please contact your service provider for a new sim card.' I do not want to have to use the e606 at all and am desperate to try to figure out why I cannot send texts via my XDA. I have put the sim back into the 606 and it sent texts fine so I don't think its the sim.
Also in the 606 the sim is read fine for the contacts stored within but in my XDA when I go to Sim Manager I get an error every time saying 'Sim is busy. Wait 5 seconds and try again.' Does anyone know why I am getting this error??
Apologies for what are probably basic questions but I am new to the XDA and am not too sure which way to go about this or what settings (if any) may need to be changed. It just seems strange that I can receive texts, make calls and receive them as well but cannot send texts.
Anyone have any ideas??? Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
With thanks

Hi
I STRONGLY believe that a 3 sim will never work on a GSM phone.
the 3 network uses 3G and NOT GSM. 3G is some new way of doing things that allows faster video hence all the adverts involving ducks etc...
sorry
If that is the case surely I shouldn't be able to do anything with the sim. It seems bizarre that I can receive texts on my XDA with the sim and can make and receive calls on the XDA with the sim as well. The only thing I cannot do is send texts with it.
Does this seem right????
With thanks
In agrement
3 is on the 3G spectrum, not 800-1900 GSM.
You are able to use the SIM card though because, 3 have a contract with O2. When out of 3 coverage you are roaming, just like abroad. To maintain service you connect to the o2 GSM network. now as to what level you connect I don't know.
You can receive texts ok. So do you use a message centre number?
You can make voice calls, o2 gsm network.
what about internet, video, data, etc....
Just remember where you are. Simple questions, are never simple!!

I haven't tried the internet, video, data etc as I never had any intention of using these services from 3. I went with 3 because of the amazing deal they are offering on X-Network minutes. All I want ot do is be able to do the normal stuff (make / recieve calls and send / recieve texts) as you would on a normal mobile.
I know that 3 have there agreement with O2 and that I drop onto there network when not in a 3 service area for calls. I am not totally sure about the settings for the message centre number but surely these would be on the sim card itself anyway. As I said I can send texts using the e606 handset but just not with my XDA. Why would I be able to receive texts using my XDA but just not send them.
EDIT: Just tried a 3 sim card and it worked so I will get another T-Mobile Sim to see if the problem is a didgy sim card...strage as the sim works when I put it in a micro sim to sim adapter in another phone!?
Im in the UK, with T-Mobile and randomly cant send/recieve calls or texts
I called T-Mobile and they refreshed the network settings but I still cant call...they said it wasnt anything to do with network coverage as it was displaying i had signal, but in call settings > additional settings or call forwarding > voice call:
it says "Network or Sim error"
my sim works in another phone too so its not a dodgy sim...so it is 100% down to the phone that I cannot call or recieve calls or texts so not just call settings being messed up, problem surfaced 2 hours after flashing Foxhound 0.3 (but in those 2 hour calls/texts were working)
I have done hard reset, and facory reset, restored a backup...also flashed stock XXLF2, and also LF8 but all with no luck
My IMEI number is displayed in about phone, it is displaying full signal, and T-Mobile in the dropdown menu and im able to use my mobile data from T-Mobile so what is wrong, and how can I fix this?
Would be forever grateful to whoever can help me out...even if your not sure any ideas are welcome as my £500 phone is as good as bricked to me!
I will take it into T-Mobile to see if they will replace the handset under warranty but how do I go about making it seem it hasnt been rooted or flashed custom ROM, I know I need Triangle away but what order etc?
Thanks allot

In all of my old non-Android phones whenever i was sending or recieving an MMS, the phone would automattically turn on data then download/upload the messege and turn off data. I don't seem to be able to that with my SGS2.
I can send MMS only when data is on and it won't turn on automattically and when i recieve an mms i have a download button on the messege so when i turn on data, I can download the messege.
I've tried installing external apps from Google Play like go SMS and several others to no avail. tried searching for a solution with my carrier, and in this forum...perhaps I missed something, tried setting up a seperate APN for MMS.
Can someone help me?
I'm running i9100 with android 4.0.3 and Orange Israel ROM, not rooted.
I want to avoid rooting the phone

Hi mate,
I don't think there is a way to do this on the S2. It's frustrating isn't it!!
The only way I can think to do it is download an app called Tasker and set it up that way. Tasker can do everything
Good luck!
There is a way.
You have to separate your APN into two APNs. One for internet, and one for MMS. Then have the internet one be the default. The MMS APN will then only activate when you send or receive MMS.
I have mine set up like this.

I have two APNs. one for the 3g data and the other one is wap data(for all the carrier's stuff) and mms.
3g is set up as default but i kind of have trouble seperating wap and mms as i don't know which deffinitions belong in which APN.
I'll contact the tech support again and ask them how to define this stuff properly or just ask them to send me the apn config.
if that doesn't work i'll try tasker like Obagleyfreer suggested.
thank you both for the help
Trying to solve a problem for a customer at work, dual SIM standby device (kazam trooper) experiencing problems on one SIM only, when trying to make outbound calls, only works roughly one in ten times. 90% of the time will get "not connected to network" error. Incoming calls are always fine, and inbound.amd outbound texts also working okay. No issues with mobile data. Previously worked fine for outbound calls. Nothing changed, SIMs still I'm same slots. Ran through SIM management and mobile network settings with a fine tooth comb. Unable to find anything obvious.
Out my.depth with dual.sim, please help. Could having mobile data enabled on SIM2 affect SIM1 ability to make calls?
Sometimes new upgraded sim card is a solution. Ask operator for replacement its free of charge.
Hey,
I am using an ATT Sim in the Verizon tablet. However I am not able send or receive messages/calls. Tried different dialers and message apps. Is there anything I need to enable for this?
Thanks in advance .
Your sim card has to be provisioned to tablet. I tried the same with an older tablet and couldnt get anything to work. You'll have to call att. I had tried all of the things you mentioned as well
I dropped my SIM into a T715 with Lineage 16 on it and both Google Message and Facebook Messenger worked fine with both SMS and MMS. Didn't try the phone aspect.
Tried same thing on Verizon 827 and it won't let me past "Do you want to change default SMS app."
