I'm using two SIM cards in my TA-1046 running Pie, October 2018 patch, build 00WW_3_22D, MPSS.AT.3.1-00770-GEN_PACK-1 baseband, 4.4.146-perf+ kernel, etc... Stock out of the box.
On the status bar, I see three signal indicators, one of which always shows no reception.
When I pull down the quick settings, I see "No service - OperatorName1 - OperatorName2" scrolling at the bottom.
In Settings -> Network & Internet -> SIM cards, I see both my two SIM cards active, but when I tap op i.e. "Preferred SIM for Mobile data", there are 3 options in the popup - the first two are identical, and both of them are selected (despite being radio buttons).
I've googled this, and searched the forum, but apparently I'm the only one seeing this nuisance. It has no real impact on phone usage, it just bugs me to see the additional signal indicator all the time.
Attached screenshot for your viewing pleasure.
turn off phone, take out sim, restart, go to apps and find the settings app and clear the cache for the settings app. turn off, put in sim, start phone.

Guess I should have thought about that... Thanks, it actually worked!

If you access the "hidden menus" by long pressing the desktop, shortcuts, activities, CQAtest, Sim card....do you get an error stating the iccid's don't match?
I have been having a signal issue I'm trying to track down and wondering if this is the culprit. Basically what happens is I lose 4g and go to 3g even though the 4g signal is still very strong at my house (all other devices show full LTE). If I toggle airplane mode on and off I always get 4g back at full strength. Sometimes it will stay and sometimes I'll lose it again after a few min. When it happens it usually happens for a period of a few hours(mostly at night) and will be fine for 12 hours straight during the day. This is on a Moto X Dev edition on VZW.
Thanks in advance.
I added the SIM card item to my home screen in ADW and when I click it I see the app open, but it closes again right away, so I can't see what it says.
Edit: only other place I see the ICCID is in Settings > About Phone > Status, it is listed there, but I don't see a second number to compare to. Not sure what your phone would be looking at, because it doesn't have two SIM cards...
That's strange. I did it three times to make sure it wasn't a fluke and it worked each time.
I'm stock 4.4.4 using xposed and apex launcher. BL is unlocked.
Edit.
Not sure either. It shows an ICCID for the phone and then one for the sim. The numbers are different and it has a red error message below.
Hi all, I know this part of forum about S6 Active is not much frequented but I just purchased the phone for personal use, It's unlocked and I'm using it with Vodafone operator.
I'm on 5.1 firmware but on 5.0.2 was the same.
First of all, it is normal that there is not a toggle for Data in the quick settings menu but I found a toggle is located on use management app?! Crazy...
Second I noticed that is not possible to select the speed of Data, i'm forced to use 4G only as I found nowhere the option to switch to 2G/3G to save more battery.
Third, there are no options to wake/sleep by double tap, I'm a bit scared because the buttons are fast going then.
Can someone confirm all those and if you have any suggestion/tweak I'll be pleased to hear, thanks!

Hi there.
I completely agree with you. The phone is a bit weird when it comes to toggling data and selecting the preferred network mode. However, if you want to change your preferred network mode, dial *#*#4636#*#* It will open up the service menu. From there, go to device info and select the preferred network mode from there.
As for the double tap feature, I haven't seen it in any Samsung phone. LG has it on their flagships, but if you want this feature, there is a PAID app in the Playstore for you.

Thank you! Strange thing data show me 4g icon but in service menu is set on WCDMA preferred, must be a bug. Do you suggest that app called Tap sleep on/off ?

4g Icon is displayed on all AT&T devices, even if u are using 3G.
I don't remember the name of the app, but you can check it out on playstore. If only the S6 Active had a fingerprint reader.......
If you go into settings, personal,accessibility,dexterity and interaction then turn on gesture wake up and all you have to do is wave your hand over the phone and it will turn on the screen for a few seconds and then shuts off by it self.
So today i turned my P9 (eva-l19) on, and i noticed something was off, first thing i notice is the sim signal indicators, now, even when connected to wifi they show 4G and 2G symbols, never happend before (attachment "0.png").
So, i start investigating in the mobile data menu to see if my phone is planning on using data on my second sim (which doesnt have a data plan), and luckily it didnt, but i notice that most of my settings (apn excluded) in that menu are changed, carrier aggregation was off, mobile data always on was turned on, instead of off, but the most strange thing is the default network type (basically there are a lot of options instead of 4G/3G/2G, 3G/2G, 2G). None of this options work btw. (i cant choose any actually, it just goes to automatic; only Global and below work).
(attachments "1.png", "2.png", "3.png", "4.png")
automatica means automatic
solo means only
globale means global
senza means without
preferita means preferred
Some other settings were modified, such as my battery indicator (it didnt have the % anymore), and my battery saving options (it was set to intelligent, instead of performance). Also my display time out was set to the default one.
For now i haven't found anything else and i really hope i wont.
This is really strange and annoying behaviour, as i didnt do anything that could have triggered such an event (no resets or anything), i really dont understand, i hope its the first and also last time it happens.
Anyone had the same thing happen?
Did you recently get a firmware update?

No, i didn't get any firmware updates, the last one i got was when i first turned on the phone, a month and a half ago :/
It's really strange behaviour, but i got an hypothesis going: i think the phone somehow acquires the location through the phone network, and displays the options related to that country, but in my case it failed, and glitched out. In fact, some of the extra network options that work are related to US networks (at least i think, EV-DO is a Verizon technology, which is US carrier if im not mistaken).

Same thing happened here!
It all started when i switched to 2nd SIM card for more data (both my SIMs has some limited ammount). I noticed, that Im running out off battery, so i switched battery saving mode from Performance to Intelligent. It didn't help much, my phone dies anyway. When booted, the story was same as yours...
Lots of various settings were changed:
-carrier aggregation was off
-battery indicator (% inside battery icon was gone)
-system sounds turned on (dialer, keypress, lock, and screenshot)
-all ringtones reseted to default
-all my defined alarms ringtones reseted
-display time out set to default
-default network type (basically there are world wide options instead of 4G/3G/2G ; 3G/2G ; 2G)
and the MOST ANNOYING: 4G/2G symbols in notification bar!
Conclusion:
It seems, that P9 modem/radio settings is somehow corrupted. Check attached screens..
Btw: noki57oo did you figure out, how to get rid of 4G, 2G symbols on your device?
Anyone else: Any idea, how to deal with this strange issue? Before I will do the Factory reset..
Same thing happened to me today. All I did, I have decided to restart my phone after few hundreds hours on stand-by.
All settings you've mentioned been set to default and more annoyingly, the icon of current network persists in status bar.
Only good thing is, I can now force the phone to use 4G only in network settings, haha.
Hi all
A couple days ago, mobile data stopped working for me. Whenever I disconnect from WiFi, I can see the 4G icon next to the network icon, but in the bottom right corner of each one of them (I have two SIM) an 'x' appears.
I have tried resetting the APNs, the connectivity settings, did a factory reset, downgraded the phone to a previous version and removed and reinserted the SIM cards. I can still send and receive calls and SMS but no data even on 2G.
Do you have any ideas about what to try next?
Thanks!
I wanted to see if anyone else had issues with their signal for tmobile and after updating to android 9. I am running into an issue where for a few days I would have LTE 4G signal but at some point, I would lose signal completely. This issue persists once every one to two weeks. Here are the steps I did to see if it would resolve the issue:
- Reset Network Settings
- Reconfigured the date & time so it would be the correct time and date and timezone
- Removed automatic set date and time
- Did both a soft and hard reset
- Cleaned out system cache
- Booted into safe mode
- Checked the service hidden menu and ran tests and all came out pass
- Reset Access Point Names
- Ran Search Networks in Network Operators Menu and failed
- Ran Select Automatically in Network Operators Menu and failed
This issue has been annoying ever since I updated to Android 9. If anyone has a solution please advise. My phone is not rooted and is stocked image.
I'm on Tmo and received the pie update some months ago. I haven't had any issues with signal strength since. I'm racking my brain trying to come up with some advice but wow you have some everything I can think of. How about trying a new SIM card?

I actually did replace the SIM card. Here is the weird thing... When I removed my sim card, I would get the icon showing that there is no sim card inserted so of course no signal was showing. After inserting the new sim card, the phone would see and recognize the sim card but still no signal bars would be showing.

Download this app, "LTE Discovery" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery
There's a feature that logs your LTE data, wait till you lose signal again and then review the logs.
