Hi,
I just received a Motorola One Zoom phone and I have dual SIM, is there a way to have dual messenger apps for each SIM number?
Apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Casperzito
You could try using apps like Parallel Space or Clone App. There are multiple apps like that on Play Store. Maybe they will work for you.

Hi all
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).
Anyone figured out how to add contacts to the watch?
I select "Contacts" from the menu. All that is happening is the spinning animation with the text "Syncing contacts". I can't add a contact from the message app or the call log either.
I dont want to go back to memorize numbers again.
edit1: tried to add some contacts to SIM card. Not picked up by the watch.
edit2: added some contacts to SIM card. They do appare on incoming calls, and appares in phone application when searching in the dialer.
You can't. Majority of the functions of this watch requires a Samsung phone. The only thing you can do is make or receive calls, send or receive SMS. That's about it. Some built-in apps may work (weather, HERE) to certain extent. Most apps won't without a phone.

Yepp, unpaired and alone this thing is dumber than a dumbphone. Not a problem for me actualy, I have a dual sim phone, so I just dump all the contacts to the sim card. I can see who's calling me and search my name in the dialer. The "contact" homescreen does not work, but that is fine by me.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to run the gear s as stand alone and getting my contacts to appear was the main issue holding me back. I was happy to discover the trick about activating it without a Samsung phone and your contact trick might be all I need.
I carry two phones - work and private. My private phone is a phablet that I love (Nokia 1520) which I do all my emailing and browsing on. My work phone is just for calls and sms so the smaller the better (carrying two phones is a pain especially one being a phablet), but I need my contacts to sync via my exchange account so I use a small smartphone (Nokia 800). I'm hoping I can go Nokia 1520 and gear s stand alone using the tricks posted here.
The gear s seems like a perfect solution - I actually need the two phone numbers (and, yes I have thought about a dual sim phone but there are issues with that scenario). Although, I am suspecting that as much as I love my 1520 I might end up getting a Note 4 to make it all more convenient, but I just hate the thought of android, sorry.
My SIM contacts automatically shown in Gear. But i want to add new contacts. Is that not possible?

I think Samsung may have out-of-the-box disabled that feature simply for that reason-- to encourage users to have to use it with a phone. However, on the Tizen Developer website they list the source code for a simple contact manager (ah! New user, can't post links yet... just Google the Tizen SDK) that is able to interface the contacts API. This should be pretty simple/straight forward to compile and implement for the watch with the SDK.
I haven't quite made a decision about whether to purchase the S, or if I had more time at the moment, I'd do it. However, my point being the contact restriction I believe is only concerned with the built in contact app... I see no reason why another app should not be able to access it and thus get around the apparent limitation.

Adding contacts to your Gear S2
You can add contacts. I just did it. You have to log into your online account via your cell phone provider.
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).

What do you guys believe are some of the best free calling/SMS apps for android. Only ones that go over the internet, but reach any phone without needing the app installed on the other phone.
So not like Skype etc, but like groove ip, and dingaling. I need it to be free, (excluding data charges of course), and to be able to make calls/texts from Australia to Australia. I don't mind if you suggest two separate apps.
The reason I would like this is I am considering getting a tablet data plan for my phone, and just doing everything over the internet.
Thanks for the help!

Viber or WhatsApp
But i prefer viber.
There's also: BBM (but it's laggy )
Free sms would be like @MihailoZoric
Whatsapp, Viber, telegram , we chat , line,
There is no exclusive "free" calling app
Hangouts can call other users but they charge after 1st minute at different rates.
You will need play stre credit
Same thing with viber,skype and other calling apps.
Thanks for your replies, but I was looking for apps that can call/text phones without the app both people having the app, eg dumbphones and landlines.

Hangouts ,skype and others can call landlines and dumbphones. Except you have to pay for calling to landlines and dumbphones. If you want free communication then you need to have app installed.

Yeah, I'm looking for something that gives me free calls to landlines and dumbphones. I have found apps, but they were mostly US only. That's why I'm asking for suggestions.

Set up a Google Voice account and download hangouts & hangouts dialer. In the hangouts settings menu check voice and text options. Verify you have linked the apps by going to the Google Voice app settings & there should be a new notification indicating you have successfully paired the apps. Now you can call and text free over WiFi via Hangouts Dialer
Hi there, I'm looking to buy a cheap smartwatch purely for replying to messages while at work, where my phone is not an option, however most messages I receive are through Viber, and not Hangouts. I'm wondering if Minuum, or any of the other keyboard options allow typing wherever voice input is available, or if somebody could at least confirm compatibility with Viber.
Thanks!

Nope sorry viber is voice input only the only thing minuum is good for is using apks from apps designed for normal android and for apps that have keyboards in them like all of appfour wear apps
Viber is in the Android Wear marketplace on Google Play.
Hello everybody,
I been using different dialer apps over the years like
DialerOne
True Dialer
DialerEx
What I always enjoyed about them is how they (in the call history) combined the calls by x contact and showing each person only once (last time... And I can go in for all their calls) and not each time they called shown separately....
Now that I once used my friend's iPhone I saw how it's phone app shows all calls from apps like whatsapp, messenger, Viber,... All in the same call history list.
Is there any good dialer app for Android that has this integration feature??
Help would be appreciated. Thank u in advance
Dear Experts,
I just got a dual SIM phone, but I am very disappointed by the contacts apps for dual SIM phones...
I am looking for an app, that will show the contacts,
stored in each SIM card IN A SEPARATE TAB
And it shall show the name and the number below.
Right next to it, there shall be a button, which allows me to call that contact.
The closest I found is SIM contacts manager, but the design is terribly ugly - all red and even the green button is red !!! And the dialer is really stupid, no letters for quick search - terrible !!
What I need is something like RocketDial but with two tabs for each SIM card...
Many thanks in advance !!
