I use the second sim only to make a few calls during the day, because i have diverted the incoming calls to sim1 i activate the second sim only when i need it.
Do you know a widget to activate/deactivate the sim without passing in the preferences settings?
i've tried several applications but none seems to work.
Could you explain how dual sim works?
Does it work at the same time or have to switch between sim1 or sim 2?
For example
Use SIM1 one for internet browsing – somebody will call me on SIM1 or SIM2. Will phone ringing on both? Or for SIM2 calls have to switch to SIM2?
interested to know as well.

You have to turn call forwarding active.
Under sim card manager, lase section general you need to select dual sim always on. with this if you are speaking on sim one and you get a call on sim two it will come on sim one as it will get forwarded. so you wont miss calls from either sim even if you care on a call.
For internet both card slots have 4g but only one is active 4g and second will be 2g. you can select whichever you want.
I have N9208 and assume it is the same for dula sim Note phones.

So there is no way to get calls to both SIMs without calls forwarding?

Not 100% sure but don't think so mate.
You'll get calls to both sims when idle, unless you're already talking on one. That's when you need call forwarding, so you won't miss second call.
SM-N920?

It is sounds better
What about situation when use internet data? For example downloading file using SIM1? Can I still get calls to SIM2?

Yes. While downloading if you're setup to use data on sim 1, you'll get call on sim 2. When you pick up that call download will stop I think. Not 100 percent sure cause different phones have different arrangements... If your call comes on sim 1 the data will continue to download. Vice versa.

Hi. I have a galaxy note 5 dual sim (n9208) and when I'm on a call on sim 1 (configured as 2G), automatically i lose the internet connection in the sim 2 (configured as 3g/LTE, but my network is just 3G) and I stay without internet connection all the time while I'm on the call.
I have set the sim 1 only for calls (2g) and the sim 2 only for the internet (3 / LTE but my network is only 3g).
It is very inconvenient not to have internet connection while you are talking on the phone you can not receive a whatsapp or browse.
There is a way to solve this problem?
Thank you.
hi, I use *#*#4636#*#* dial code to set sim 1 network setting, but whats the code for sim 2?
I want to set sim 2 to LTE ONLY but there isnt this option in androids normal setting menu, it just has 4g preferred, but i want 4G/4G+ only.
anybody knows any way to do it?
sorry for my poor english
Hi I have a Nokia 8 (TA-1004) which is dual sim.
I have a 3 sim and a plus net sim installed.
When I select the default sim for data it works, same for messaging.
BUT when I open the selection for calls i cannot change it from "ask every call" to either of the sims though it looks like it should be possible.
Anyone come across this before? what is the answer? phone is latest OTA updates.
Nokia 8 not permitting selection of preferred sim for calls
Hello I have exactly the same problem as described below by Pontprennau. Also on a Nokia 8 (TA-1004) in the Network & Internet screen under "SIM cards" and then "Calls". Setting preferred sim for sms and data are permissable for both Sim 1 and Sim 2, but setting the preferred sim for calls is not permissable and continuously force-defaults back to the "Ask every Time".
Can't imagine that the network provider has anything do with this problem though ie whether it is a T-Mobile, 3 or any other network.
If any information/resolution on this are available would be much appreciated. I have the latest OTA updates provided by Nokia/HMD Global.
Thanks

I had same problem in Oreo, but Pie update fixed it.
Sim selection option available in call settings not in sim settings
Hi All,
have anyone experienced problem when using dualsim?
Slot1: private, 4G data
Slot2: company, only call/sms
Default settings: use slot2 for call
Sometimes the phone using slot1 for call.. After hangup, dialing again without any changes, using the slot2 as normal.
It's very uncomfortable because need attention before every call, what slot used for call..
That's normal behaviour for dual sim as far as I understand it - if you make a call from SIM1, it will be set to us SIM1 next time you make a call unless you change it?
You can setup a default setting which sim to be used for call. Somehow its not working sometimes
