Hello comrades,
I plan to switch to an e-sim and use a physical sim whenever I travel abroad. I know the battery life goes for a toss when dual sims are enabled. Does this apply to e-sims? Can our comrades here please share their experience running dual sims on their devices? Appreciate your comments.

E-sim or not, the power consumption is still there because the modem is still being utilized.

Gotcha..what sort of a battery drain are we looking at? The other option is to carry a second phone for the international number! Is the trade-off better this way i.e. the inconvenience of carrying a second device < the inconvenience of the battery drain

Well...difficult to answer. It depends on the network coverage, the bands being used, and if you're utilizing 4G or 5G. In my case, having 2 sims increased my IDLE battery usage by about 50-60% approx. So, usually, one sim was around 1% idle, and dual resulted in around 1.5-6% while the DATA was active.

Hey, thanks for this. You nearly caught me there with the 50-60% figure but in real terms, I think the trade-off is small such that carrying a second phone would be an inconvenience. Is your dual-sim setup on 5G or 4G? I'm assuming the drain would be less brutal on 4G than on 5G.
When I only used one pSIM in my device. It easily got 2 days worth of battery life out of it before I wanted to charge it. I get pretty much about the same using one pSIM and one eSIM.

Lol, when I was writing the "50-60%" I had that possibility in my mind.
IMO, it's not that BAD with dual sim. But if the network coverage gets really bad on both sims, those numbers might drastically change.
when i used only 1 sim my battery life was impressive i got easily 8h of sot with around 15% battery left. When i inserted my second sim the first day wasnt so great i got 6 or 7h of sot with 4g enabled on both sims then i changed the second sim to be just on 3g because i use it mainly for calls and the battery life improved a little bit (note that was a month or so ago).
But now i didnt change anything and the battery life improved like i just have 1 sim card installed.
Battery life will hugely depend on the signal quality you're getting from both SIMs as if one or both are struggling to hold the signal, your drain will increase dramatically.

You can not have esim and physical sim at the same time, the phone does not allow it. It has to be 2 physical or just esim.

The U.S. variant does not have two physical SIM slots - only one. And I at least have no issues with one physical SIM active and one eSIM active at all times.
There would be no other way for the U.S. variant to be "dual SIM," since it cannot have two eSIMs active at once.

Well, single sim vs dual sim does have an impact on the battery. Disabling one sim should improve your idle usage by some % (depends on many factors, but the improvement is still there considering that the modem needs less power).
I actually run dual (physical+esim) and the battery life is still amazing mind you my first sim is on 3G/2G because I only use it for calls and sms and second one 5G/4G for data only

We do not normally advertise our products on this forum but get many many requests for compatability.
We have managed to succesfully test a budget dual sim that works with the Hesmes (Orange M3100) as well as o2 Exec Vario 2 (HTC 3300) Spv m700 (HTC 3600) mobiles.
We have used a 3g sim and High Speed Data.
We did need to use a sim card cutter to get a clean cut but it worked a treat.
The trick is to ensure that you use the white padding inside the dual sim to apply presure down on the dual sims.
The dual sim displays a program dual sim card which allows you to switch sims.
The solution to unlock this mobile is available on this forum.

can you go into more detail here, basically from a noob's point of view, how does one go about using 2 sims in the hermes? I'm very interested.
This should be moved to the Hermes Accessories forum but I do have a question.
On your site which adapter will fit a Cingular 8525, and will it ever be possible to have a no cut solution for at least one of the SIM's wince one of the SIMs is my company and I would be killed if I cut the company SIM card. I have no problem with cutting my own SIM. Also I see you do not have any dual SIM for 3G SIMs that have the menu select, you only offer the power off/on for 3G, this is a big pain especially on a PDA using WM5 or WM6 it take forever to reboot.
Advanced MENU Twin SIM (V9.6) with SPV M700
Hi, I have just installed the dual SIM adapter to my orange contract SPV M700 and can’t get the menu to display. I have tried the dual SIM in my older SPV and all seems fine
Does the phone need to be SIM/CID unlocked?
Can you help?

Too early to say - I'm hoping Freeyourmobile can advise how he got it working!
The fitting is good, little tight but ok - as soons as I get it working I'll update the post!.
I bet the battery life blows!!
I used the latest dual sim, I think it was version 10 or 11, and my battery was murdered compared to without. I read in another post that this is due to the auto switching function, and that the only dual sim you could use without the battery drain that Pof refers to is a plain, turn it off and reset manually - Dual sim holder.
Which, given a flat battery, is just fine by me...

Use a simple power on-off dual sim holder and the program posted here. For me it works perfectly:
. no battery problem
. current sim always known
. easy switch

I noticed that the SIM cards keep changing every so often.
The new SIM cards have a smaller gold-metal surface area, whereas the older ones have a bigger gold-metal surface area.
Any ideas why?
Is there any benefit to swap out your SIM card to the newest? The SIM that comes in the box has a smaller gold-surface area.
(When was using previously using the iphone, my SIM was pretty beat up from switching phones all the time and the gold-metal part practically had indentations, which did give me reception problems. When I swapped it out with a new one at the store it did fix the problem. Obviously a surface contact problem.)

Idk I change sim cards for all my phones since g1 since there's nothing on it ever since using google contacts

There is typically no need to replace your sim card unless you are having problems with it (ie not registering on the network.)
However older sim cards have a restriction on how many times they can register on the network, and after they hit the limit the phone will stop connecting, so if you want to prevent this issue (usually takes a couple years, and is a lot more likely in areas where your signal drops, for people who travel a lot, and in 3G coverages areas where you swap back and forth between 3G and 2G) you can use one of the newer sim cards. To Identify whether your sim is the newer variant with no registration restriction look at the back where the gold contacts are, if its a newer sim it will say in small lettering "TMXXXX" (where X is a number, ie TM4322) and it will also have an expiration date printed (it must be activated by this date or it becomes unusable.)
In terms of 2G/3G the sim card itself and its age should not make a difference as the capability to connect to those networks is dependent on the phone, not the sim. You can think of a sim card as a gateway that connects your phone to the billing system and authenticates it.
Having had said that, if you are having connection issues it could just be a defective sim card, to check, just place the sim in a phone that isn't having any connectivity problems, if it starts having problems, replace your sim.
In terms of the digit you highlighted in that picture, I believe it has to do with the manufacture year, although if I remember correctly its digits 4 and 5 that make up that information, but otherwise isn't anything important to a consumer.
well i got curious and checked ....i have the bigger sim ...i don't think the numbers matter much

That's what I thought...until a lot of people started noticing better 3g connection/speeds with the new sim cards. Just a placebo effect perhaps?
The size difference could also be for users who want to make it a micro sim so they can put it in their unlocked iPhones. I don't have either of these sim cards to compare, so I'm not sure.
hmm.. the sim im using is almost 8 years old. its been moved from phone to phone so many times there are wear marks on the contacts. still works fine though.
When I first got my g1 a few years ago I had issues with the market. There were apps that I knew were available (private apps) but I could not download them. I went to a T-Mobile store and looked at the display phones. One of them was able to see private apps, the other like mine, could not. I talked it over with the rep and we decided to replace the sim card. It was a random, no other ideas, decision. Started the G1 back up and Market was now working as expected. There were no other benefits noticed. Since then, I tend to replace the sim anytime a new phone is purchased.
Your milage may vary.

When I got my Vibrant, coming from the g1, tmo wanted to just pop it in the Vibrant. I made them put in the new sim card just to be safe, figured the one that came in the box brand new SHOULD be better.

Its only on the newer ones, the old ones don't expire, they just stop working after a set number of registrations on the network.
In regards to sim issues, they really shouldn't have any impact at all. Changing a sim card refreshes the billing information in the system (like what kind of services your phone is supposed to have and what not) customer care can do this without the need for a new sim.
Hoenstly though, sometimes a sim replacement is needed, I've seen stranger things.

When I bought my phone out right, the rep opened the box and took out the SIM then sold me the phone.
I guess it doesn't matter since swapping out your SIM at the T-Mobile corporate stores is free.
I just tried this since there is a tmobile store across from where I work. I used SpeedTest app and ran it 3 times before the swap. Average was about 2500 kbps download and 300 up. I swapped the sim out, went back to the spot where I originally tested and ran three more times and got about the same rate with the new sim. My old one was about 3 yo from when I had my Dash.

I'm thinking the only time one would see a difference is if they are having poor contact surface from the SIM wearing out. I've seen ooolld SIM's where the metal had indentations like no other.
Just read the thread and said why not had the same sim card since I first signed up with tmobile 5 years ago.
When I talked with the rep on the phone and explained this to him and asked could this help he stated that the official tmobile policy is if the old sim card works no need to switch. However, because of the technical specs on the card could cause better reception, they just can't guarantee it, they only guarantee it will not get worse. He asked if I was having issues and I said no i'm just a nerd and wanted to know if it would help. Just swapped it out going to give it a test around the house and will report back.
Back Story:
Upgraded from G1, perfect 3G everywhere in chicago, couldn't even get it to drop from 3G no matter where I went. With the Vibrant and and old sim card, constantly dropped to 2G no big deal still was speedy
New Sim Card:
will report after testing
Old Sim Card
My connection constantly jumped from 2G to 3G all over my house constantly
New Sim Card
Solid 3G all through the house, will report back after tomorrow when I travel all over chicago
I would like to ask questions as far as how it works, how does it handle both sims? Which one can be assigned for data plan? And battery life? I'm under the impression trying to find or deal with 2 signals kills the battery faster?
Assuming you are talking about Mega 5.8
- It handles both sim pretty well.
- Either can be assigned for data plan although only one can use 3g network at a time.
- No issues with battery life, runs all day long and some.

Thanks, the other model I was looking at was the galaxy s4 mini dual sims, but due to battery life may be leaning towards the 5.8" Mega
I assume you also get two icons for each sim to seperate text messages?

Hi everyone!!
Some time ago there was a discussion about data only sim cards (in Japan). Basically data only SIM doesn't connect to network like normal voice sim so the os boosts radio signal in search for that (non existing) signal. Then you have a huge battery drain and phone gets hotter.
Apparently the fix was some docomo sim patcher module for xposed. The module is removed if you search in xposed but it can be found online. In all discussion I dont see nobody mentioning kitkat, only ics and jb. I saw somewhere that this problem is supposed to be solved in kitkat but its not. In kit kat there is signal bars but cell standby is high and battery drain is huge. Have in mind that this happens exactly the same on various devices ( Im now on OnePlus one).
I installed the module, and it solved the cell standby (it used to be 100% and now is much less) but time on says as long as the actual time on of the device and although battery life is better it still drinks too much battery no matter if on LTE or 3G. Mostly i notice that battery drain is way too huge when cell phone is in stand by.
Did anyone finally got around this problem? Is there some up to date fix? All I found is very outdated, and no clear solution either.
Thanks
I guess the solution is to pay a little bit extra for sms function, that way phone should connect normally to network and I think there shouldn't be no problem. Somebody please confirm if you tested. Thank you.
So turns out that patch did fix part of the problem, but now here is another problem. Patch is a xposed module and as you all know ,xposed doesnt work in Lollipop.
What is the possible workaroud?
Is there any way to change the code so that phone doesnt look for network when sim is inserted?
I get signal bars but it says no service and in battery settings network signal is red (as if signal is terrible all the time while Im actually missing only 1 bar). When I set apn lte sign appears and internet works (along with huge battery drain)
I am currently in Japan and having the same problem on my Nexus 5 and Android 5.0.1. Is anyone having a solution by now?
Thanks, would help a lot if my phone isn´t discharged after half of the day...
Well, nexus 5 and battery are not best friends to begin with. I am also on Nexus 5 currently. The best bet is to activate sms option which is only 100yen more monthly, and that way phone should register to network probably. Only problem is you have to buy sim again (at least in my case with biglobe).
You can also toggle airplane mode every time you dont use internet ,thats what Im doing right now,although wont save that much.
Interesting thing is that I didnt have that problem with HTC's 4.1.2 jelly bean..

I have a Nexus 4 (Android 5.0.1) and I bought one chip in BIC Camera with Line support, which means I can receive SMS (no voice). My battery is draining if the mobile network is on. The best thing I can do for now is, like you said, toggle airplane mode when I have a WiFi connection available and carry a power bank if I need to use 3G...
I have a Nexus 6P on Android 6.0.1 and use a data-only SIM card on Docomo's network in Japan (purchased from BIC camera). This issue has not been solved.
Some have claimed that a previous Android update from 4.x has solved the issue, but this is not the case. I've used multiple Android devices in Japan over the past 2 years with these "MVNO" SIM cards and every single one has the issue of battery drain. The iPhone does not have this problem.
Has anyone solved this? There was an Xposed Module fix for this, but that was ages ago and I presume it does not apply to Android 6.x.

I currently have dual Sims running on my s23 ultra. Both Sims are from Verizon. Phone is unlocked and originally purchased from Google fi.
However, I am unable to designate one sim for data and one sim for calls only in sim manager. There is only an option to designate a primary sim.
Does anyone have any idea if there is a command to unlock all the features in sim manager? I tried searching, but have been unable to find anything.
This is a feature that Samsung doesn't offer. You have to choose a default SIM for both and then tap the indicators in the OS to swap between them. Like if you're making a call, both SIM names will show up at the bottom of the screen and you can tap which to use. When sending a message, you'll see towards the right of the text box there will be a number 1 or 2 in a SIM card. You tap that to switch between them. You can set custom labels and SIM icons/colors to help differentiate them further.
It hasn't been a big deal unless I need to download or send an MMS on the line that's not set as the default and I also appreciate that Samsung adds an option to set a specific ringer for the second SIM - allows me to just silence my data SIM.
I'm from South Africa and I use 2 physical sims on my phone. It gives me the options to decide which phone to use for calls/messages/data as per your screen shot. I see you have on e-sim and one physical sim. Maybe that is the reason you don't get the options I have. I have my primary sim for calls and messages and sim 2 for data setup. When configured it also gives you the options in the drop down menu to change on the fly without going into the settings menu
I definitely agree that the North American dual-SIM (pSIM + eSIM) options are lacking. Unlike the dual-pSIM model, pSIM + eSIM in North American models are DSDS (dual-SIM dual standby) instead of DSDA (dual-SIM dual active).

Definitely going to look into trying that over the weekend. Unfortunately, I have two flights to catch today so I won't be near either of my desktops until tomorrow at the earliest.

The last post in that thread seems to imply it was fixed/patched with OneUI 5. s23 Ultra users don't have the ability to roll back to Android 12
I must have missed that in the thread, that's unfortunate. Hopefully we will have a work around in the near future. Appreciate the info!
I also have this problem and hope it can be solved.
it's a little annoy because I have a sim for data and another sim for call and message.
I prefer to have my devices ask which SIM for every call. Depending on the country I am in, would determine the SIM I want to set for data.

I have a similar setup since I use this phone for work also.

This is a feature that Samsung doesn't offer. You have to choose a default SIM for both and then tap the indicators in the OS to swap between them. Like if you're making a call, both SIM names will show up at the bottom of the screen and you can tap which to use. When sending a message, you'll see towards the right of the text box there will be a number 1 or 2 in a SIM card. You tap that to switch between them. You can set custom labels and SIM icons/colors to help differentiate them further.
It hasn't been a big deal unless I need to download or send an MMS on the line that's not set as the default and I also appreciate that Samsung adds an option to set a specific ringer for the second SIM - allows me to just silence my data SIM.

I disagree, because i had 2 sims in my samsung Phone and it let me put from which shall be for data and which is for calls, sms/mms. So Samsung does have it, unless they removed it.

Apparently international variants have it, which I wasn't aware of, but US variants do not. This is a stupid thing for Samsung to do and I hope they fix it at some point.
I am using a s918b version. If I flash EUX Home_CSC , I will have option to select which sim for call, sms, data, and the data switch option as well. However, if I flash XAC (Canada)home_csc, then I only have one option to select which sim to be the primary sim. So I dont know, if it's a CSC related feature or not.
So If my device havevthe csc code with xaa, I can reflash with the csc which provide the dual sim manager?
