Hi
I'm newly registered but a long time lurker.
I have a UK dual SIM note 8
When I am in an app and someone rings there is an icon saying which SIM is ringing, however when I'm not in an application or phone my is on the lockscreen the dialling page is full screen and does not show which SIM is ringing.
Any way to sort this out?
Thanks
Bob
Could you not just assign two different ringtones, thats how i have mine setup unique tone for each sim, sam e with messages
That's a good suggestion, however, I tend to leave my phone on silent as I also have the gear S3 watch that alerts me to my phone ringing.
Ideally I want to keep it silent as better when I'm in the offoce. If no other suggestions then maybe I have to go the ringtone route

My last 2/3 cellphones had the function whereby on a busy tone I would be prompted to RETRY... when I did so the phone would keep trying at intervals until the number began to ring - my phone would then ring once to alert me that the call was now in progress and ringing at the other end. Very useful. Is this network or phone feature? Either way I do not seem to have this on the XDA IIi which seems like a huge ommission. (I still use same network and SIM card as per my previous cellphones).
Hi everyone,
questions for those using Note 5 with 2 SIM cards... how DUAL-SIM functions?
I've read one review where they stated it is not organised well in the phone software and that it is buggy to use it with 2 cards.
Please share your experiences
I've got the N9208 and I find its adequately organized. You can select which Sim is primary, used for voice, data, sms, etc. I've not tried to save numbers on my Sim so can't comment on that but you can certainly choose which Sim is used for voice or data.
I found it to be pretty well handled. As stated above set defaults then off you go. When making a call it asks me which line I wish to use and messaging has two send boxes one for each sim
Incoming calls and messages also show which sim was dialed so you can respond on the correct one. Notification and ringtones can be set for each sim independently.
What would be nice would be being able to set the default sim per contact it may be possible but not tried yet
So, how do I get the phone to make I call when I activate OK Google and say, Call "Jim" etc.
Presently, as I am not using the SIM and disabled the cellular network it will tell me I need to turn off airplane mode. I though I had it figured out when I set it to forward calls to my phone, however I think that is intended for when both have a SIM. It seems like a massive oversight if this is not possible, given the fact that the Style does not have the HR monitor and Fit. The two reasons, other than the spinning selector, I went with this model over the style.
I have cellular turned off, and if I say "ring Fred", it immediately calls Fred through my tethered smartphone.
If there are multiple phone numbers attached to a contact, it then does not dial straightaway, but asks which number to dial first.
Whether I use the phrase "ring" or "call" it does not matter, works with both phrases.
I know this is an old thread but did you figure out how to initiate a phone call on the tethered phone without the sound coming through the watch?...I want to say"ok Google call Bill" and have my phone call Bill and not hear it through my watch. If I disable call audio on my phone then the watch says check blutooth connection...this seems rediculous that Mt Sony SW3 can easily intiate my phone to call any contact through ok Google but my lg watch sport wants to blare my conversation from my wrist.
Is the LG call app installed from the PS
Hi everyone, I have been struggling to build up my idea with tasker but can't make it work.
I have Dual Sim Android 6 phone and I want to make some automation like this:
Schedule week days and hours so when I receive incoming call to SIM 2 and if I don't answer in 5 seconds or intentionally dismiss the call, the sms should be sent from SIM 2 with my text (for example "Hi, we are not working at this time, please call 0800....") to that number which called.
Is this possible?
Sounds simple, but I have tried to play with tasker plugins and so but not much luck... I am not guru on tasker, just have made few tasks work in the past, like turn off screen in 5 seconds after charger plugged in and so.
I don't have dual SIM experience so all I can do is make some guesses unless you are more specific as to how things work.
If there is a notification that pops up when the phone rings, to tell you which line the call is coming from, then intercepting that notification should be possible.
Have you played with Dual Sim Control? The guy who does that app also does autotools and is very responsive on his help forum.
This blog post isn't exactly what your looking for, but maybe it'll get you pointed the right way.
Great, will try out! Thanks!

Google Voice did not ring on incoming calls for my Pixel 5. I tried all the online advice I could find but still failed. After 2 weeks of experimenting, I stumbled on a workaround today! I am still asking this question online so that I can share it with the public.
Many online blogs acknowledge this is a Google bug and the most prevalent workaround is to “use carrier only” for “Making and receiving calls” under Google Voice settings.
"Use carrier only" unfortunately is not much of a solution for those who travel internationally! Google Voice would expect this carrier to be a U.S. company during configuration. Roaming internationally on a U.S. carrier number runs up a HUUUGE phone bill! It begs the question of why even bother with GV if I want to involve my U.S. carrier number when I travel overseas. If I were in the U.S. today, with my unlimited plan, I would see no reasons to use GV either except if I just want to have a separate phone number that is always mine. "use carrier only" is totally brain dead from the cost perspective.
When I was on my Samsung S4, I didn't have this problem. Finally, I decided to upgrade to Pixel 5 and GV stopped ringing for an incoming call.
After I upgraded to Pixel 5, I wiped clean my S4 thinking I would either donate it or give it to a kid as a toy. Out of curiosity, I installed GV again on my S4 today to see if it still works. GV does NOT treat my S4 as a separate device but as the same "Android Device" on my Pixel 5. I guess this is due to both phones are logging into the same account. I then called my GV number and my Pixel started to ring! Curiously, S4 didn't ring. As an experiment, I opened the notification settings of the GV app on my S4 and customized it to the way I wanted it. Now, when I called my GV number, the Pixel didn't ring but the S4 rang! After that, I tried both disabling notifications on the S4 for GV and turning off S4, both methods would enable the Pixel to ring again!
Since the Pixel 5 would ring when the S4 is turned off, what would happen if GV is uninstalled from the S4? Well, the Pixel 5 stops ringing! I re-installed GV on the S4 and called my GV number, the S4 started to ring while the Pixel remained silent. This contrasts the situation after the 1st installation, ie. the Pixel rang instead.
Here is my observation:
*Both phones must have GV installed to work.
*GV would only ring one of the 2 phones, but it's hard to say which phone would ring if both are on and the notifications are enabled on both
*By disabling notifications on the S4 or turning off the phone, the Pixel always rings
*Now I can use GV either over Wi-Fi or my European SIM (traveling in Eu currently) to receive and make calls
For those who are writing these what to do with an old phone blogs, I guess they can add this workaround to their list, ie. to fix a bug for Google! I assume the old one has to be a device that doesn't have this problem to begin with. Haha.
