Dual SIM indicators - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have a problem with my GSM indicators, I don't know which one is for which SIM card. One of them is in square, and there's a icon of one of them on the taskbar. What does that mean? I switched to Note 8 from GALAXY S4 so I don't know much about that note.

Thanks for help!

It should tell you in the sim card manager settings

The one in the square tells you which SIM card is the default one (which will connect to LTE services), the one at the left is the SIM 1 and the one at the right is the SIM 2.

wonder if someone has some advice please.
i bought a dual sim card holder where you cut the sim cards and fit them into one holder.
fitted in my phone, my main number comes up but i seem not able to select and swap the numbers using the sim menu that does show.
i was wondering if maybe this is because the phone is set to 3G?
can i switch to GSM on the diamond and wonder how i do this please?
my "main" number is a TMobile contract number and shows up fine.
my other number is a PAYG Virgin sim

[Q] Unlocked ATT device no signal after switching SIM

Hello.
I have an Atrix HD from ATT, I bought it unlocked at Ebay. I used it with my ATT sim Card, then with Movistar in Colombia for vacations and everything was working great. Then I came back to the US, used a T-Mobile sim card and now I can not use any other sim card. The only one it accepts is the T-Mobile one and it works fine. If I pop any other sim card it gives me no signal (a white cross appears in a red circle where the circle bars should be).
My phone is rooted but I have not flashed any ROM or done anything else beyond installing Superuser and Titanium Backup. I already did an internal and an external reset and none works: The only sim card that gets signal is the T-Mobile one. Called T-Mobile and they said they cant help me since the phone is not supported.
My hint is that somehow the T-Mobile sim card switched my frequency bands. Whats funny though is that now I am in Colombia and when I insert the T-Mobile sim card and check which network is my phone connected to it shows Movistar and the signal bars are great. If I pop up my Movistar sim card it gets no signal at all.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
You must have setup the sim card lock disable that and then try putting in another sim

tab s T705 LTE micro sim card problem

Has anyone had problems with LTE tab s 8.4" sim card ?
the signal bars all the time are full as if there is sim card in the device. i tried inserting two nano sim cards with micro adapter it immediately asks to restart as Sim card detected..
I place sim card, restart and NOTHING !
same full bar signal all the time with/without sim. Still says no sim card inserted.
Device from singapore.
Now i know 8.4 LTE tab S is 3g/4g sim card compatible and sim cards work perfectly otherwise. i reset factory settings with no results !
going to mobile networks trying to chose networks also gives error of no network available.
ANy ideas/ Help !

I have the same thing as well when no simcard is inserted. Per understanding, the phone automatically logs on to any network so you could dial the emergency number (in your country)
