Lol! 2 esim work on latest stable February realese
Thanks Dr! I searched but couldn't find anything mentioned, and wasn't about to go and convert my second SIM without being sure about MEP...
I think he means dual active with multiple esim profiles. As of now it's only one at a time.

Dual SIM with eSim, and multiple eSim profiles, has worked for years.
Dual eSim MEP is a different story...

Some people have been randomly getting dual eSim MEP since back in October. You may just be one of these isolated cases.
Anyone else having success?
With the March update now live, the answer appears to be a resounding no...
(Edit: or at least not mentioned in the notes)

Not sure it this makes any difference. Received an update for SIM Manager version D2.1.510475198-google. However I do not have another eSIM to experiment

Me too! I also haven't risked turning any more Sims to esim, as my esim is the only one I need on permanently, so don't want to risk converting my others.

My eSIM is a travel one. My permanent one is a normal SIM since the telco does not offer eSIMs. Both work together nicely in dual SIM mode. Would be great if dual eSIM works since it is the way forward. Looking forward to being able to move eSIMs between device

It does work now and I'm very tempted to try it since my primary line is physical sim and secondary line is eSim. When connecting to my networks the eSim is almost immediate and the PS takes like forever sometimes needing a reboot. The only issue with the eSim is finding the right tech support person to send you the QR code that works.
Speaking of which, has anyone tried it on stock March update non rooted?

Can anyone with 2 US SIMs (or eSIMs) confirm if you can use the data from one SIM with WiFi calling from another?
The iPhone seems to have this and Android's "backup calling" option should enable it too. Thinking of getting this phone for foreign roaming but want to keep my US SIM. Thanks!
I have two sims one physical and one esim. One of my lines I can't get WiFi calling on and I'm not sure of the reason. But I can set data on that line and enable wifi calling on the other. It's the esim that I can't enable wifi calling on.
Does anybody has the same problem?
My main number is esim, with a second number on physical sim. Sometimes I can't turn on physical sim, have to disable esim and reboot to turn on physical sim.

I got the same set up, work sim is physical and I turn it off during the weekend. Being on the latest beta android 13, it has some delay on the button so it seems for me it would not work enabling it, but after ~3 seconds it get turned on.

Sometimes a 3 seconds wait will do the trick, but after the recent update, it just won't turn on even I waited for few minutes.

Hi everyone,
I know this is an obscure one and I may be the only one who wants this sort of thing but I live in the mountains and like to use T-Mobile but also keep a Verizon (PagePlus) SIM on hand with a cheap plan as sometimes I have to enter T-Mobile roaming areas and need more data than is allotted for roaming use.
Anyway, I have a Verizon Moto X (XT1060) and a dual sim adapter which works awesome (i.e., I can switch back and forth between T-Mo and Verizon service without rebooting using the Sim ToolKit (STK) app, which pops up when the phone sees the dual sim adapter installed).
I've installed the dual sim adapter in my Nexus 6 (Play Store unlocked version) and while the Sim Toolkit does seem to pop up once the adapter is inserted (and the T-Mo SIM seems to work still - see attached screenshot) it then crashes when trying to switch between sims and disappears from the launcher altogether (you can try and resurrect it via a "Activity" in Nova Launcher but it still doesn't work and just says the app isn't installed). In doing some research it seems like the STK apps in AOSP ROMs don't work very well (which might explain why this scheme works well in the Moto X) but I was curious as to if anyone has had any experience with this problem.
Since the Nexus 6 has such unbelievable cellular radio support across pretty much any network, CDMA and GSM/LTE alike, it seems like it'd be a great platform for the use of a dual sim system, which is why I'm kind of surprised it wasn't a dual sim phone to begin with...expecially since Android 5.1 is allegedly adding dual sim support but I think that may be mostly just a GUI to facilitate switching more than anything else.
I'm running the May 14 Euphoria 1.1 (OFFICIAL-20150514) with baseband MDM9625_104446.01.02.98R. I've tried a the .95 baseband as well, to no avail...and rebooting after switching SIMs doesn't seem to work either (and neither does just "waiting" a minute or two). I've also tried the stock ROM and it doesn't seem to work either...same sorts of issues. Finally, I should concede this might work better with a GSM / GSM SIM situation as opposed to a GSM / CDMA/GSM situation so perhaps it's a lost cause.
So yeah I just thought I'd throw this up in case anybody had any ideas on how to make this work.
No idea how, but out of interest, which adapter have you got? I'd like one.

Hi! I got mine on Amazon...XDA won't allow me to post a URL but the name of the accessory is "LOPURS 2 in 1 (Dual SIM Card Multi-SIM Card + Tray Holder) for iPhone 5/5S/5C(Dark blue)." Even though it's for iPhones allegedly it does seem to work ok on the Android platform as well (at least, on my Moto X).
It's definitely weird looking but with a case around the Nexus it seems to fit alright.
Here's one for the Samsung Galaxy S5 on Amazon, but seems there's quite a few different ones to choose from:

Curious with the 5.1 update if this will work natively. It's been advertised that dual sim support is built into 5.1.
What's your experience? Any updates?

Unfortunately the adapter doesn't work with 5.1 or 5.0...one is able to launch the 'Sim Cards' activity (this gets you to the new SIM Cards settings menu in 5.1) via Nova Launcher by setting up an Activity widget but since (I think) the adapter can only work with one SIM at a time (it seems to block one or the other altogether depending on which is selected) the new functionality in 5.1 appears to not be useful in working with the adapter...I think it'll only work with phones that are dual-SIM by default.
I accidentally destroyed my last adapter (they're extremely delicate, and are hard to install with SIM tray-type phones) so I'll try this again once I get a new one using the Android M developer preview...fingers crossed!
Thanks for the update! 'Preciate it.
So...this can be marked resolved. It turns out that the Nexus 6 accepts the dual SIM adapter just fine (takes a reboot or two, but it eventually settles in and works great) and I successfully used it with two T-Mobile US SIM cards. The issue was the Verizon SIM containing some sort of CDMA code that was (I'm guessing) fouling up the changeover and crashing the adapter's firmware and/or the STK app. The odd thing is that it did work on my Moto X XT1060...but after trying again I noticed that voice support never actually worked on the Moto with the SIM adapter installed (nor did eHRPD or 1X data - only LTE worked) so it appears that CDMA just isn't compatible with the adapter(s) I've been using. I did see that MagicSIM offers an adapter that's allegedly compatible with CDMA but I'm a bit skeptical honestly and these adapters are just too delicate to spend $30-$40 on.
So, in conclusion, this functionality is absolutely do-able but it requires two GSM SIM cards as opposed to one GSM and one CDMA/LTE.
In any case it'd be totally awesome if LTE/CDMA-GSM changeovers could be accomplished with a different adapter...so if anybody ever has any luck with that please post! Thank you for the replies.

With the GSMx2 sims, how much functionality did you get? Could you receive calls on both numbers? Did you get a prompt when dialling which number to call from?
Unfortunately you only get very basic functionality. All the adapter is capable of is switching between the SIMs...once it's switched to one or the other it can only see that one SIM. You can set it to automatically switch back and forth in time intervals but I bet that can get really annoying sometimes if you're in the middle of a call or web browsing session or something...not sure if the adapter is smart enough to know not to interrupt a call or download with a switchover...I bet not!
I know that actual dual SIM phones can do what you describe but unfortunately none that I've been able to find have the vast frequency support of the Nexus 6 so it's kind of a conundrum...I really wish Google had made the Nexus a dual SIM setup...big missed opportunity IMO.
But in any case the adapter can help if you're a frequent traveller or have a work and personal phone or whatever and you don't wish to swap SIMs all the time...or if you're like me and just need two carriers to fill in each others' coverage gaps and can use Google Voice to route your main number to both carrier numbers.

That wouldn't be too bad I suppose as long as a reboot isn't required. I forward work to personal anyway and just turn work phone on when I need to make a call.
I had this happen in 3 different instances:
1) Come back to the phone, which was lying on the table, to find that it was restarted. Happened 3 times in 5 minutes.
2) Another time, the phone restarted for no reason - I came back and it was asking for pattern instead of fingerprint because it restarted.
3) In a 20 minute drive, the phone restarted twice, which was announced by the Bluetooth car unit. I stopped each time and verified that the phone actually restarted.
At first, I thought it was me holding the power button wrong and it getting stuck.
But I have tried my best to not push the power button in any weird way, and then it still happened.
Moreover, here's an interesting exchange between, apparently, ZTE and users. Credit to oberio28:
5, sometimes the phone will automatically restart, how is this going?

"I use ATT as as carrier, and I tried several of their sim cards. As soon as I install the card, that Sim slot (1 or 2) truncates its IMEI from 15 to 14 digits, so it thinks that's it's a CDMA sim card. I think this is the reason why I cannot access GSM calling settings such as Call Forwarding. It says "Network or Sim card error."

I use ATT prepaid mine does the same but the last digit is a check, meaning once sim is activated it helps hide your full IMEI. I get 4g LTE and no Voice HD calling, hence it always reverts to 4g/3g in calls. Got to love US carriers.

However, can you change Call Forwarding settings (I cannot, and I am not sure what the problem is):

?
Mine gives me reply "Call settings error , Network or SIM card error."

Yeah I get the same error, I don't think it's phone though. My other phone is Poco F1 and its all custom ROM with no LTE bands and it does the same. But both can transmit/receive calls with same sim though...I think its more the network and not being AT&T branded phone.

Thanks. Here's more info that may be relevant.
1) Oneplus 6, global version, doesn't have this problem, that is not being able to set up call forwarding from the phone.
2) Whenever AT&T sim card is inserted into a slot (1 or 2), that slot truncates its IMEI from 15 to 14 digits by removing the last digit.
So, if without the sim card IMEI 1 is XXX...XXX5, it becomes XXX...XXX when the sim card is inserted into slot 1. Same happens to IMEI 2 if the card is inserted into slot 2.

Done.
I can confirm DSDS works with Google Fi and Verizon. This was one of the main reasons I wanted the Pixel 4. I ordered directly from Fi so they added a second Fi sim. I removed that and put the Version sim in and reactivated with the Google Fi app. It asked me if I wanted to use two sims and completed the setup. I then went into the mobile settings and changed the sim i wanted as call/sms and data.
I am using the eSim with Google Fi. And I am in the boondocks. It is great so far.
Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
Yeah my Fi service is fine. That's not my issue, I have a work phone with Verizon and now I just need the Pixel 4 with DSDS. No more keeping two phones with me. The other plus side is if service for Sprint or TMobile is bad I can switch to Verizon.

So, while I use AT&T & Fi this is what happens for me.
If AT&T is primary calls & text, as well as mobile data, I cannot enable RCS (as expected).
If I switch to Fi for calls & text, as well as mobile data, RCS becomes enabled.
I haven't tried it without data, but will get around to that eventually.
Unfortunately no one to check out if it actually works!

Its already fraught with peril. It's still gonna be a half-cocked implementation. Doesn't look like it will be universal profile, but may ne compatible with it.
The only hope for me is that it integrates with the Android Messages app.
I won't use a carrier supplied piece of software to do it. They probably will try and charge for it as well knowing the greedy carriers.

And now RCS is gone once again. Worked for a day now disabled.
@bobby janow to clear the air i'll explain my response that you think is unrelated to your question. I tried RCS with the Verizon sim as call/sms/data and I was not able to enable it in messages. "not supported" When I tried with Fi esim call/sms/data I had issues because I use hangouts for calls and sms so RCS is not compatible with this configuration. It tried to enable it but I never got the code via sms. So I turned off Fi hangouts integration and tried again but was still unable to get RCS working and that was surprising because I was using just Fi esim for calls/sms/data with hangouts integration off. I tried clearing carrier services and messages cache, data and stopped the services but it would still fail enabling RCS in messages. I also tried with Fi esim call/sms and Verizon sim data but that did not work. It seems while using DSDS no mater what configuration is used it has issues with RCS. I will keep messing around with it and report back if i find anything.
@cursixx That most certainly applies to my experiences. Now the thing is when I set up the P4 last night I had RCS working with dsds. Verizon physical fi esim. Then this morning it's gone. I opened a case with Fi today and they acknowledged there were issues. So we'll see where that goes. I might temp remove the Verizon sim just to test. Very weird.

I thought about doing the same and removing the Verizon sim because I expected RCS to work with the Fi esim set to call/sms/data and it did not. I did notice after clearing data + cache for carrier services and messages the sms from google was in there with the code. I messed around with RCS when google enabled it early this year but haven't used it since because getting calls and text via hangouts on my computers was more important. I'm just happy having working DSDS on the device.
What I found. Mine 'disappeared' after I switched back to AT&T for all services.
When I switched back to Fi for all services, it wouldn't connect. I rebooted phone, and when it was done, it connected again without issue.

Physical SIM (AT&T) in the whole time.

Thanks but I just tried that to no avail. Glad you got it working but obviously it's quite problematic. Maybe one day. Was reading about the new messenger app Vzw, Att and Sprint were going to roll out next year. Sounds like a battery draining POS. I'm not going to obsess over it for a day or so then I'll revisit it at some point. It's not really all that crucial.
And thanks for the dark animation fix. That worked great.
edit: omg I've entered the Twilight Zone. Just for the f of it I said.. ok bj check RCS. And now it's enabled? Really? I give up this makes no sense.

Take it with a grain of salt.... so far hasn't worked for me, but plenty of others say it works.

Holy cow, that thread has taken off. You did all those steps and still nothing? I'm afraid to mess with it since it's still working. I have a feeling that Fi support or Google did something in the background to enable it. Because I didn't do anything and all of a sudden it was active. I know it wasn't Verizon because my wife has it working on her P3 single sim and has for some time.
Has anyone been able to get DSDS working on Google fi? Any help would be great.
I've been trying with limited success. My question to you is are you trying to use the esim and physical sim with the same Google Fi number? (This is my case)
Mine seems to use both sims when connected to Sprint and only one when connected to Tmobile....at least I'm assuming. Under settings-about phone-sim status it will show both connected when on sprint (I can tell which carrier via Signalcheck Pro app). But when connected to Tmobile only slot one is connected. It still does tend to prefer Sprint, although seems to switch faster than before

Was the dual sim automatically set up or did you do something to set it up? When I tried to set it up in the past I ended up having two different signal icons in the status bar and we should only have one according to Google support. The Google FI app is showing that I have two IMEI numbers but I only have the physical sim active.

What do you mean? One carrier or two?

I don't think that's available yet. They said 2020 IIRC.

It's on the webpage on how to do it. But they don't know how when I called customer servics

I can't seem to find that. Can you post a link please?
edit: reading about "dual connect" but there isn't an accurate description of how it works, how to set it up, and even if it's live yet.
It has not rolled out to use Google Fi with both the e sim and SIM yet. There's a thread on the Product Forums. I've burned through two SIMs trying before looking it up.

That article is confusing at best and ridiculous when you actually figure out what they're trying to say. They don't know what they are doing.

I tried to set up esim first then insert physical sim as instructed by google fi help chat. I got the two signal icons too. Then I found https://support.google.com/fi/answer/7540641?hl=en and pulled the physical sim, wiped the esim and then inserted the physical again and activated. It was working then
edit...where in the fi app does it show imei numbers?

I don't think you can see that on the fi app. You would have to go to about phone and see it. Also, it will work with the physical sim. I tried that and it still stated that their is a free Sim slot.
Anyone been able to use H2O wireless SIM from the old phone in this phone? It does not even recognize there is SIM is present!

I know I tried to use an old sprint sim in my 3Xl once I upgraded to Barbet and TMobile said that the sim was still tied to the old device. It could be that you need a never-used sim if that is even a thing. I have figured out how to double-tap the back of the device to launch an app, you could google double tap back and then have that open a flashlight/routine of some sort maybe. I believe there is also a Magisk mod released for all google devices that changes some functions of the notification/time etc. Look around more and you'll find some of your answers either in the forum here or through google search.
Good luck!
Solved!! H2O wireless problem. Got a new H2O starter SIM, the phone recognized it. Then I called H2O to swap my old number to the new number. Now I have both Fi (eSIM) and H2O SIM card working. If it did not work, the phone was going back.
Put the new SIM into the old phone it works there too.
Still looking for answers to items 2,3,4 from my first post.

2 and 3 are build into LineageOS. Don't know about shake to trigger flashlight.
Shake to trigger flashligh - Really missing the convenience. I think it was native Android feature wish Google would put it back in.

Pretty sure that's a motorola specific feature, not android. Either way, it does have it's uses.

My Samsung phones also had the feature.
I did find an app that appear to work well, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.rnazarevych.shaketorch. I needed to adjust the sensitivity to max.
I am from India, where Google missed Pixel 6 series, and Pixel 5a launch is coming soon. Should I buy 5a or wait for my brother to get it from Europe?
