I have the Dual SIM model. I use 2 SIMs one of which only works in LTE.
The problem is, whenever I switch mobile data from SIM1 to SIM2, it changes SIM2's network mode to LTE. So, SIM1 will not work. Is there any workaround for this?

I have a dual sim Note5 locked with smart (but suprisingly, it is not really factory locked. I was told that I should place smart on sim1, but i tried just placing globe on sim2 and it still works even without a smart sim). I know that you can only use one (1) LTE sim, so globe is set to automatic, meaning it will be in GSM mode, since Smart is in LTE. Anyway, both sims are set to AUTO (LTE/WCDMA/GSM) mode.
Note that Smart sim1 is in LTE Band 1 2100 and globe sim2 is in LTE Band 3 1800. Both sims are LTE capable, and with existing LTE data plans.
Any way, here is the issue:
I noticed that i could not get a data connection using my smart sim everytime my globe sim is present.
Thus, if I have two sims inserted (smart LTE sim in sim1 and globe LTE sim in sim2, both set to AUTO LTE/WCDMA/GSM), LTE data access on smart (sim1) would work for maybe a minute or two, and afterwards, it would no longer connect to LTE. Even if the phone displays a 4G connection, it does not really connect (after a minute, no LTE connection). Because of no data connection, I would try using my Globe LTE sim (smart on sim1 becomes GSM), and surfing in LTE appears to be continuous, unlike with smart (using LTE in sim1).
When i switch back to surfing using smart LTE (Globe becomes GSM), i can again surf using smart LTE for a minute or less than 2, but eventually it will disconnect. Even if the phone says 4G, i cant connect to the internet.
Today, i removed the globe sim, and it seems that i can already surf with smart LTE, without disconnection of LTE data. I noticed that i can now use LTE continuously (using sim1) after physically removing the Globe LTE sim card.
My question is, is there some form of signal interference between two (2) sim cards, that prevents me from using two (2) LTE sims (both are set to AUTO LTE/WCDMA/GSM, and LTE is in sim1, GSM in sim2) at the same time?
Does the presence of two (2) LTE sims (although one is in GSM mode) affect the LTE data connection?
This is really a strange issue and hope anyone has already encountered this.
The problem im facing with my Xiaomi Mi5 is that whenever i switch the data connection from Sim 1(Jio 4G) to Sim 2(Airtel), sim 1 loses the signal and remains unavailable for calls both incoming and outgoing. I tried to change the preferred network type and swapped the sim slots but nothing seems to work. If you guys can help plz do so.
Note: Sim 1(Jio 4G) is 4G only network it doesn't work on GSM or WCDMA.
the non-data line only does 3g, or 2g if 3g isn't available..

I'm also facing the exact same problem!!
But I think it is operator-specific because Jio 4G does not support 2G/3G networks but only 4G LTE. However, Airtel 4G on the other hand switches to 2G/3G networks when not using data services.

Thats what I thought until I checked it on Asus Zenphone 2 it works perfectly fine with other sim on 3G and Jio on 4G.
When I'm using data on 4G on Mi5, the other sim gets 3G network but fluctuates very much and if you change it to 2G only, it will automatically get back to 3G network.
Hi.
I have two 4G sims in my phone, I wish to use Data from one sim and Dial via VoLTE from other sim, but I can't.
The sim that is set for Internet only works the other Sim is blank.
Or is it that only if other sim has 3G data it can work?
Can anyone help.
Xiaomi mi5 is 4g+3g standby. You can use Volte from the 4g sim and data from the 3g sim.
mi 5 supports only one sim slot to be used as LTE at a time. Jio does not have any network other than LTE so your second jio sim will not work because of absence of 2g/3g network in Jio.
Hi,
i rebrand my P9 eva-l19C900 to c432 with success and i upgraded my android's version .. but i still have a problem with my network when i activate the 4g on one sim after twice minutes the second lose the signal and become deactived.

In Settings / Wireless & Networks / Dual SIM, see that only one SIM (you can choose which) can be 3G/4G
Hence one SIM will be on 3G or 4G, second SIM must be on 2G - but if your operator for that second SIM does not provide 2G you will not be able to use that SIM
In Settings / Wireless & Networks you can disable 4G and in Preferred Network type you can force GSM (2G) only - that way you can test which of the two SIM cards / operators provide/have 2G signal

In Dual SIM Settings you choose one which is 4G, the other will be 2G/3G
Cannot help you more, I have both SIMs 2G/3G/4G, hence no matter how I set, both work
Try playing yourself, test both SIMs one by one only, in one and the other slot, with various settings (4G enabled/disabled, Pref net 4G, 3G, 2G only)
Maybe you have problem with one of the SIM cards or one slot
Hi.
Maybe stupid question, but how can I use 2 sim in the same time? Because when I make call from sim1, the sim2 is offline. During call on sim1, the sim2 is unavailable for data connection. I tried 2g 3g 4g on both sims. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible on this phone?
