Hello
I hope this is the right place to ask and I feel at this point I have been searching Google dry over the past week.
I have a HTC one m8 with dual SIM, as I live in Sweden and work in Denmark, I have a Swedish tre.se in SIM1 and then a Danish 3.dk in SIM2
While I'm in Denmark, both SIM card works and connects to their network, but the second I enter Sweden, SIM2 won't find a connection.
I tried to switch the two cards, but then it's just the Swedish card in SIM2 that won't connect.
From what I have been able to Google , SIM2 should only be using 2g network, but this should be a problem for either of the subscriptions as far as I know.
Is there some special trick, setting or some I need to do to make it connect to 2g
It is original OS on it. I unfortunately can't root it, as my company mail will detect it and block my access. (Worx home by Citrix + touchdown)
What I have tested so far:
Factory reset of the phone.
New SIM card for both cards.
Activate and deactivate flight mode.
Deactivate and activate each SIM from the dual SIM manager.
Switch cards in slots (1->2 and 2->1).
Disable SIM1 ( SIM 2 still didn't connect)
I have also contacted each phone company, but they were to no use and just said it should work hehe
Any suggestions or ideas ? I'm open to all suggestions that doesn't involve getting another phone
Also this is not one of the cheap Chinese dual SIM versions.
Thanks
I may have managed to get a little closer to the cause.
It seems that SIM2 is actually only running over GSM / 2G for god knows what reason, and that is not supported by my phone company i Sweden, which is why it only works in Denmark.
I will try with another phone company called TDC and see if they have the same issues over there or else its bye bye useless dual sim

My TP2 works fine with Vodafone and Avea (another Turkish service provider), but it does not work with my service provider Turkcell?
When I insert the sim card for the first time, it recognizes the service provider and makes the configuration, then restarts the phone, but then it doesn't work with that sim card..
Is there any way to solve this problem? or any idea why it may can be happening?
Hi all,
Just got my Zenfone 2 yesterday and was super stoked, however the SIM2 component is not working. I have two SIM cards, one with Telus and one with Virgin Mobile. (Canadian carriers). No matter which order I put them in, the SIM2 card never works. The Zenfone 2 is able to identify the phone number associated with the SIM card in the SIM2 slot, but it is unable to actually make a network connection.
Anyone know how to get SIM2 working?
just update to the latest rom... I did and got my Sim1 working again!!

SIM2 is 2g only. So it needs to be Rogers (or network that uses Rogers) to work

Only SIM card slot 1 can access 3G/4G/LTE data. SIM card slot 2 can only be used for 2G service which include voice and basic text messaging (Not multimedia messaging services MMS or internet browsing). http://www.asus.com/us/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_knowledge/

I know this is an old thread but i was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this issue? I am having the same issue trying to get Sim2 to recognize a network. The number on the Sim card is recognized. I have tried switching the cards around and the result is always the same. Both providers that I am with are in Canada. One sim is with Bell and the second is with Virgin Mobile.
Are you saying you can't even make calls on sim2?

This was first flagged up by @ShootistUK on the Eragon ROM development thread but thought I would open a thread for it here as the other thread is getting long and is probably not the place to discuss this sim card.
Mine arrived today and I have spent many hours trying to get it working in my phones(Galaxy S3, Moto G 4G as well as the P8000) - I did manage to send and receive a text and make a call after installing their own messaging app(which they tell you to do) but so far have not managed to get data working at all despite it being basically a 3UK sim so it should use the same apn I would guess. I already have 3 other 3UK sims so am quite well versed in getting them working but so far the freedompop one has defeated me!
Hopefully ShootistUK will let us know if he has had any success(I doubt or if there is anyone else who has one of these sims please let me know.
Well, you have had more success than me. I fail to even get the application to work. It always gives me an error about using up all my premium minutes (or something similar) and to turn wifi off which does nothing at all to help. However I cannot get my 3-2-1 sim from 3 to work unless I make it the default data sim which pretty much defeats the object of having the sim in the phone alongside my vectone unlimited sim.
Hmmm, interesting - so your main sim is your vectone one(which is an EE mvno) - The problem with the 3 sim is that it cannot function in 2G mode and the p8000 doesn't allow you to run both sim slots in 3G mode so you are going to lose some functionality somewhere. What is your ideal setup by the way? I suspect it's not going to be achievable unfortunately...I am currently running my 3-2-1 sim as default for data/sms/calls and have a Vodafone payg as backup in case there's no 3 signal(so really for calls and the odd text too. I also have a tpo sim which I could use for backup but I don't think I can use the FP + 3-2-1 together and in fact can't even get the FP one fully working by itself. I may try again tomorrow in a different location in case it was a case of weak signal?? I'm sure I saw that error too but I'll see if I can replicate that issue again!
Well I have got both sims functioning at the moment by enabling default data sim as the 3-2-1 sim (but disabling data in the other menu so it doesnt use the data connection) and relying on wi-fi at home and work. At least this way I can receive and make calls/texts on both sims even though I can not use mobile data on the vectone sim and do not want to use the data on the payg sim. This is not in anyway a perfect solution but I suppose an issue with dual sim phones.
Yes, that's not ideal I guess but at least the vectone sim functions in 2G mode, I don't think it's possible to get two 3-2-1 sims working together.
Well I will now see if I can get my 3 pay monthly sim to work in the phone instead of the 3-2-1 sim using the same method. Just very annoying that they only work together if I have disabled data on the vectone and enabled and disabled the data on the 3-2-1 sim. Is there anyway to get the 3-2-1 sim and another sim working together with the data set to the non 3-2-1 sim? I like vectone for the price but willing to get another provider if I can get them to co-exist.
So you enable the data in the sim cards settings and disable in the data usage section, is that correct?
Simple answer is yes, make the 3-2-1 sim the preferred data sim and then disable the data in the data usage menu. Then both sims work for calls and sms. If i need mobile data I then make the vectone sim the data sim which turns the 3-2-1 sim off.
yeah that's a bit of a clunky solution but it's the only one that'll work unfortunately but you won't be able to get 2x 3UK sims working on 3G/4G at the same time I suspect...
Hello,
I figuerd out a curiousity with WP10 and Dual Sim phones. I have a Lumia 640 and 2 Lumia 950 here. One L950 has a SIM Card from Vodafone and run perfect in SIM Slot 1. Data work fine when Wlan is of from 2G to LTE as it should be. In the L640 and the other L950 I use SIM Cards from Provider Telekom / Congstar (which is also Telekom and use same network). Both phones are not able to provide any Data connection when the SIM card is in Slot one while both connect imeditaly once I move the SIM card in Slot 2
I won't care at all to use Slot 2 instead of Slot one but all contacts are without SIM card then and you have to switch all manualy to SIM 2 which is anoying. I verify that I use the exact same settings on Slot 1 and Slot 2 and I also switch back the card but again no Data in Slot. I already find some user with simmilar Problem but nobody had a better solution then to switch to Slot 2. Does anyone here run into simmilar trouble and / or have an idea how to fix that bug?
which sim did you choose for the data connection? 1 or 2
I select 1 once I had the sim in slot1 and 2 when the sim was in slot2. However, with the latest update on fastring it is fixed on the lumia 640 and it has now data in slot 1 as it should be. Unfortunatly the 950 dont take the update. I read that a factory reset can fix it !?
I was traveling recently to Poland and had that exact issue. Polish SIM in SIM1 slot, my homeland SIM in SIM2 and I had issues with getting a data connection. Swapped the PL SIM to SIM2 and it worked.
Issue now resolved with the latest update. Why don't you just enrol your 950 into the slow ring and get the updates?

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Xiaomi redmi note 8T.
I bought it in belgium. I live in belgium. I have a belgian SIM card, and everything works fine.
Context :
I have put my second SIM car in it, which is a french SIM card.
This second SIM CARD is then using Roaming data. Which i allowed.
I want to use this one as i have more data on my plan than with the belgian one.
Problem :
I have limited access to internet.
I can send and receive messages on what'sapp & messenger for instance.
I can also find where i am on Maps & Waze
BUT i can't find a destination, nor calculate an itinary.
I can't use google or opera.
I found the option to setup to use one or the other SIM card for "Internet".
I also tried to connect to ALL belgian mobile networks with my french SIM card, all the same results.
I have added the speed so i can see i go above 10KB/s (and more when updating apps) with my belgian SIM card.
With my french SIM card, never above 2KB/s.
I deduce i have some limited access to the internet with my roaming french sim card.
However, i used to havemy french sim card on my HTC U11 (before it broke down / same configuration, using both SIM cards) working jsut perfectly fine.
Therefore i don't think it is from the belgian networks operators.
So i suppose i have this limit setup by Xiaomi... correct ?
Anyone has any idea how to fix this please ?
Many thanks for your time and your help !

It should be nice if you share this solution, so the answer for this question can be found by someone else that has this specific problem in a later stadium too.
