[Q] Dual-Sim Management - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I've just got the phone for 2 days and I'm little bit surprise with the following:
- I can add specific color to each SIM but when I receive a call it's always the same color on the screen (blue) so I cannot see quickly if it's a personal or pro call.
- Furthermore impossible to add a specific ringtone to each SIM.
1. I've missing something into phone parameters?
2. Is there a mod or another a ROM allowing to modify this?
Thanks
Nicolas

I dont remember about stock...
but on CM 12 or 12.1 you can do all that. See pics (in pic blue and gree, i remove the number calling, but it shoes too, next to Mobile, Eu means I :silly...
Try to do the same way i do on CM maybe it work on stock...
to change the ring...
open phone app, click on ... tree dots on the shears bar/ settings / Calling account/ SIM 1 and SIM 2... and change the ring
to change the color and name is on config/ sim card / click on it sim (but that you have try i think)
I have a XT1069 and use the last version of blisspop V3.2 android 5.1.1 :good:
BTW using a custom ROM lose the warranty in some places, because is need to unlocked the bootloader.

Thanks for your reply.
I did not manage to add this option on the stock ROM, so I've moved to CM12.1 and now everything is as it always should be

[Q][SOLVED] Update the phone number after porting

I recently had my old phone number ported to my new network, but in the Settings -> About Phone -> Status screen the phone number is still showing as the temporary one assigned by the network while I was waiting for the port, which was different to the SIMs original, and it changed then.
Is there anyway to get this to update? I've tried restarting the phone, with and without the SIM in but it's still showing as the temporary number. The port has definitely taken place as people have phoned me on my old number and I've phoned them and it's shown as me.
Any help greatly appreciated
No-one know then?
It sounds to me like this may be something that is programmed into the simcard and doesn't change when the operator changes the number (or something like that). I doubt you will be able to fix it yourself, seems to me that this is either due to some delay in the operators system (unlikely after 4 days) or its just coded on the simcard and doesnt change. Maybe there is a program to edit that somewhere but I have no clue.
I've had almost the same problem since the beginning. There's no number on the info field.
I had a new contract and a sim card for the phone, but there was no number. I also have no idea how the number is defined in the field.
Try This and see.
Australian Sim Cards do not have any number Details Programmed so you may be able to program the Sim via your Phone.
Go to Contacts -> Menu Key -> More -> Settings -> Own Numbers.
Here you may see your old Number. Just open this and change the Info and Save.
you may have to Reboot to see any effect.
Keep us updated if this change works.

Hi, I have the same exact problem as above when I had my number ported to T-mobile. I was really searching for a way to fix it then I came across this, I tried this but I do not see that option for me, do you know of any other way to update or fix this? I find it a bit annoying haha. Plus I want to root and do not want any possible mishaps. I am on the Galaxy Note 4 by the way. Thank you.

I rooted and it was fine so I am happy there but I still do want to update the number. Recently I sent my friend a picture message and she got it form my temporary number and it annoyed the heck out of me, a few minutes later I resent one and it was fine so I guess it was a tiny mess up. I wonder if going in and buying a new sim or something would help because if it does and the sim is $10 I'd be willing to do that.

[Q] Can Galaxy S change sim phone #?

Went to install an app and noticed my number is wrong. I actually just now remember YouMail would have the wrong phone number for my default login as well.
So somehow when my sim card was setup, they missed a digit. Ive read the iphone is able to write a # to the sim card as can some other phones (though not all write it in a way the galaxy s can use it i guess?).
So my question is is there a hidden dialer code or app or anything im able to use to change the number, or does this have to be done OTA by the carrier or in one of their stores? Im hoping im able to just do this myself and get it done with.
Thanks!

The only rom which you have the possibility to change your number is CM7/miui , but somsung roms don't give you that options , with cm7 you can go into setting - calls - advance setting , then you will see your phone number options

Volte and samsung stock sms limit change when volte turns on

I dont know if anyone notices this but my stock messanger had it's limits changed from 12 pages 150 some charachters per page to a 999 countdown just like it would when id activate volte on my note 5. I communicate by large texts a lot so this kind of sucked for me. Seeing there was no way to check right away cause of no volte setting anymore im thinking volte isn't activated right away till a call is made that can use volte cause i always had the larger character limit till today. Finally a little while ago i used App Shortcut Maker from the market which allowed me to make a shortcut for the volte setting/hd voice, i have no clue where the setting is buried to find normally but in the shortcut creater it was under the 2nd phone icon then under /kthdvoicesetting, but sure enough it was checked & after i unchecked it now i have my larger up to 12 page 150 some character per page limit back. Hopefully this can help some people out who need the larger text limit or others just wondering why this is happening out of nowhere or wanting to turn hd voice on or off. Just create a shortcut for your homescreen & you can change the setting.

Are you trying to remove the volte icon in the statusbar or something? Just asking cause i seen that folder holds them icons in it i think. If so there's a very easy setting to turn that icon off. It's also another setting without any normal way to get to it but i know how.

No Mate i need that file for S6 Note 7 Port rom please if you can send me that.
It's Advanced messaging that turns on. Also you get a 10MB file limit instead of 1MB. Without VoLTE you cant keep those limits.

Hey thank you so much for that info. I never even knew i could send a mms larger than 1.2mb even with that on. I always wondered why in the world there was options to send videos straight from the camera if they always said to large to send. Now im just going to make an on off switch for my home screen so i can always leave the hd voice setting on & just click it off when i need to send a larger msg that i dont want to send as mms. Much appreciated.

Question Individualized Notification sound in SMS setting changes all contacts.

When setting up individual notification sounds in messages or any other sms app, it changes every contact to the same sound.
Am I missing a permission?
I am on 12.54.0 global rom.
Thanks for any help.
Would like to know the answer to this as well as it is rather annoying.
Did read somewhere that you need to safe all you contacts to the phone or it only works if you have 1 SIm card active (which is a bit dumb) as I have a work SIM and a oersonal SIM in the phone.
The MIUI is so full of bugs it's laughable.
I can't get even get a custom ringtone to work. It just reverts to stock one (dual sim).
€1200 hardware with software made by potato heads..
I guess there is some comfort knowing it is not operator error.
I am using an app BuzzKill as a work around to get customized notifications.
Hope a more elegant solution will come with future upgrades.

If you go to themes - ringtones - you can select your own from storage, should be a text line under the top graphic banner (I put mine in the download folder)

Tried that. Even tried Zedge app. It just ignores the Ringtones folder even if I can go there and pick a file. I'm not on rooted or unlocked but I bet a 100 bucks it's a permission setting or something dumb like that.

Oppo Find X5 Pro PFEM10 - Bugs

I have had Oppo Find X5 Pro PFEM10 for over three months and observed some issues. Some might consider minor but very annoying and I feel if I cannot find a solution this phone will go to garbage. My current carrier is T-Mobile.
The first issue, the built in clock application widget which has also weather integration, most of the time shows incorrect location. For example: I am in Florida, and it shows weather in Atlanta. Dual clock widget while I am in Florida, shows current location somewhere else. I tried to remove location, set it again but the issue repeats. The other applications that are not default shows accurate location.
The second issue is related to location and camera. I take pictures and it shows inaccurate location here as well. It is very annoying.
The third issue is related to the WhatsApp application. When you on the mobile data, you can receive messages but you cannot make or accept callsl, it shows as Connecting ... but it doesn't go through.
There are other issues with this phone like Google Pay doesn't work and apps that depend on it. Nike App payment doesn't work. etc. less annoying but honestly what is wrong with the manufacturer? Why this phone such a piece of "art"?
Anyway I wanted to pick the greatest brains of this holly place and see if the issues I mentioned can be solved to save this creation of one kind from becoming the trash.

I have the global version on C39 firmware and that one FINALLY fixed the biggest issues I had with the phone. No 5G, no Google Pay. They both work flawlessly now on T-Mobile.

So you have the same issues, right?
As for the sound, I have the same problem. If I am not mistaken I had to reset the custom notification settings for the app, and then let it run in the background. And now I have notifications. The problem with this firmware, you need to enable permissions/notifications/settings in multiple places, and some of them are not intuitive.

Exactly. Its working fine for me now, after i setup permissions and set a notification tone from system settings
How are the notifications working on this Oppo Find X5 pro version? Are they fine or delayed?
All fine with the notifications.
