does anybody know to one out there ,to switch between simcards without switching on/off to keep doing it pls
Assume you have a "ghost" sim card holder that holds two sims... If so, then the easy way is to just select the signal strength indicator form the today screen, switch "flight mode" "on", and then switch flight mode "off" This will toggle between the two sims.

Ghost Sim.
Can you recommend a ghost sim replicator that fits the XDA2s - ive been unable to confirm that one will fit.
check this out http://www.wivit.com/
I do not know of a sim-replicator, but provided you have to contracts ( and acompanying sims) that you want to use with your device, try a Dual SIM adapter.
See this post for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=63003#63003
Works very good
You might also want to check www.wivit.com , they are planning to release a dual SIM switcher program as a today plugin
Here is where I got mine

As I understand it the term "ghost sim" is for these kinds of holders that do not require you to change the battery. They hold both sims and fit between the battery and the back cover of the xda 2. Bit tight, but they do fit. A "dual sim" generally involves replacing the battery, which has a space built into it for two sims. Have not found this type for the xda 2 though...
Like the "Dvit" app. Probably more convienent and informative than switching to flight mode and back. Registered to try it when it come out.
Hopr this helps

Let me correct you:
(I know, the site you mentioned only names the Dual SIM adapter & the Dual SIM Cover I mention below)
Ghost SIM is the name for Dual SIM adapters that fit TWO SIMs into the standard SIM slot. This is accomplished by cutting the two sims and attaching them to a VERY small piece of electronics and putting that whole lot nto the SIM slot. No experience, because I did not want to try to cut my SIM's.
Dual SIM Adapter is the general name for all types of Dual SIM solutions, but mostly the ones that consist of a thin holder for two 'normal' SIM cards, a SIM-card style connector and a piece of thin ribbon-film that connects the two. The SIM-style connector is put into the SIM slot and the ribbon lets you position the holder between battery & cover.
This is the one I have. On eBay these are sold for much less (see link above) than in most (internet) shops.
A special type of Dual SIM Adapter is the Dual SIM Cover. This is common for a lot of Nokia phones and requires you to changes the cover (and / or battery) of your phone. his one is (afaik) not available for GTC PPC Phones.

Many thanks! I stand corrected...

I've been searching these forums for dual SIM adapters. All I can find are the cut ones working. I would rather not cut, anyone using a no cut adapter and it work for the HTC TyTn (Cingular 8525)? Much appreciated. Thanks.
All the ones i've tried for the wizard, which i believe has a similar sort of space between battery etc, have not worked as the battery and cover would not clip on with the adapter in
I damaged(torn off) two of the pins from the sim card reader under the battery from the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, while taking the sim card out (its a pain taking it out)
now it will not read the sim cards...
PLAN A) i will try to convince HTC to replace it under HTC's manufacturer Warranty...
PLAN B) buy another T-Mobile Touch pro 2 cheap damaged and swap the mainboards, or buy the mainboard if possible alone...
PLAN C) fix it myself by replacing it with one from eBays "Blackberry Curve Card Holder"
PLAN D) leave it on my desk until the dust covers it, and i no longer remeber of the phone...LOL..
so anyone else damaged the sim reader or any other part of the phone???
and yes, i will post pictures of the phone...and the progress of the fix(if i fix it)...and that is not the actual picture,...its a FCC pic. that is where the sim reader is....if i choose to fix it, i think i don't even have to unscrew the back housing since i can even see the solder connections with the battery removed
Hey, how did you damaged them? I have just realised that I have the same problem in one of my xperia x1. When I look at sim slot I can see two pins which looks different from the others and from this in my second (working) xperia. Now I am thinking how to get to them.
I'd like to hear the "ran over" story...
After 7 months of daily heavy usage
Nothing really, only a few minor scratches here and there, that´s it
Hello,
does someone use a micro SIM inside its Arc S with an adapter? I've read over the internet that some SIM housing might damage if you use micro SIM with adapter...
I use micro sim in my Arc wthout the adaptor,as long as you get it the right place it should be ok

ooh, really?! and how does it keep in the right place without moving? I mean... standard sim slot present in our Arc / Arc S is much wider than the micro sim!
lick and stick.

all sim cards are the same thickness so it wont move,you know the metal strip going across the sim tray,when you insert the microsim you want it centre to to the strip and equal distance either side.

Got it, thanks! I just was wondering if the SIM moves while I insert/use it and short circuits may happen and damage the circuitry...
if you clumsy enough, i wouldn`t suggest to use any micro sim card in any regular phone a lot of people do brake their expensive devises cause of microsim adapters
but mine works fine just in this way
For a free micro sim adapter, order a giffgaff sim below as it comes as a microsim inside a normal sim so you can either use the new sim or use it as a template to cut your old sim to size.
Order from below
Hello, I accidentally damaged my sim tray and now only one of five sim cards works. I put crappy nano sim adapter in tray and when I pull it out, adapter rip off one golden pin. There were three and now is only one.
Is it something which is repairable?
Whoaes! That aints no goods..
DO you still have the pin? You night be able to work it back into the hole and have it connect well enough to be used again.
Otherwise, you can look online for Gnex parts and attempt to replace the component that holds the sim card. But if you are really stuck, you might be advised to either take it to a professional for repair, or replace the phone entirely with a new model. Either a different, phone, or another Gnex, which you should be able to find used all over the place.\
I really don´t need that phone, I have new one few months, but I want to sell it. Maybe I would find someone who will buy damaged phone but hoped that it is not as bad.
It ´s sad, beside this the phone is in excelent condition
One thing, some sim card work like normal and other sim card from differetn operator is not recognized.
Has anyone been able to use the sim extender which sticks the second sim layered on top of the microsd to simultaneously use both 2 Sims and the microsd all at once?
Been trying to slip it in for hours...
Maybe have to superglue the sim film ribbon on top of that part of the microsd? It's too slippery and won't stay in one place!
Did Sony intentionally disable the detection of second sim when microsd is detected??
Most manufacturers don't do that, but the Samsung s9 had updated software with error message saying a foreign object is inside the sim tray hahahaha
This is how it looks attached the gizmo.
