Hey guys!
I am looking to buy the Note 7 as you know it comes with two versions the single N930F and Dual SIM version the N930FD, currently I am with AT&T and I using the Note 5 SM-N920I with NO problem. My question is, If I need a custom development support and using the phone in the (US and Asia) which variant should I get the single or the dual?
Are both models working smoothly with a custom ROM without any trouble specially the dual sim N930FD?
thanks,
Any suggestion?
The Dual Sim version of the phone allows you to insert two sim cards. If you move between Asia and the US a lot, then it could be a great option for you. But, you can't use the SD card and both sim cards at the same time.

or you use this HW hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz_sLdIzJfM - this should work with the N930FD too

So I decided to buy a G4.
I know about the boot loop issue, but LG fixes it if it happens, so that's okay.
My Samsung devices all had issues (multiple), so yeah.
Anyway, I have a couple of simple questions regarding the dual sim edition.
They cost the same in the country, so I figured I might buy the dual sim one...but...
- Does it have the same, latest (MM) firmware?
- Do you get any annoying notification if you just use ONE sim card in it?
- Does it still have a microSD card slot besides the dual SIM slot?
The thing is, MNOs are becoming popular in my country.
So you can finally get cheap mobile internet, but on a separate sim card, of course.
This way I could just toss in a second SIM once I get a good deal, and hook my mobile data on that.
Thank you guys!

1. Yes it has lastest marshamallow.same as single sim variant.
2. 2nd sim will show message as "service disabled" if you disable 2nd sim
3. yes it has micro sd card.but it doesn't support wireless charging.
Sooooooo I've noticed there is 2 variants maybe more but the 2 I've noticed are single SIM and Hybrid SIM
Does the single SIM also have a microsd slot? Or do I have to get the hybrid version ?
The single SIM version should have a SD card slot.
Get a hybrid dual SIM version if you can, often it doesn't cost any more though not offered in all markets.

Both have the ability to use a micro SD card the hybrid version allows you to use 2 Sims at the same time or 1 SIM card and 1 SD card, get the hybrid SIM it costs the same
I live in Europe and thinking about getting the G8s (we only have this version). Did anyone try to use the dual sim+sd card hack that you have on samsung phone? Cut a sim, polish it down and glue it to the bottom of an SD card. Then you can use two sims and and sd card simultaneously. One can also use a sim extender to achieve the same result.
Samsung implemented a software block on this since android pie, not sure if LG has the same.
Thanks in advance!
edit: it does work. Just tried on a phone.
Please post instructions so I may try this....
could you let me know how you got the DUAL SIM to work? what settings/software/app's you had to use? I'd like to make it work thru factory software if possible
THANKS,
MS

Hi, yes the phone will take 2 Sims. However if you want SD card in, you will need an esim from your provider. The SD card takes up a sim slot. I have mine from EE, 1 sim, an esim and SD card. Look in SIM card manager and it should show option of adding an esim. Which provider are you with?

When you mentioned that you inserted 2 sim, did you remove the sdcard? Or did you use an adapter to enable 2 sim cards and sdcard to function in the phone? If you are using the adapter, or the mod (heating up a simcard, remove the metal chip from simcard, file the microsd card slightly and stick the metal chip of the sim card on the micro sd card), samsung has blocked that since Android 9 with one ui.
For me, i use 1 esim, 1 simcard and 1 microsd card. Works just fine.
Edit: just googled SM-G986B/DS doesn't seem to have esim support. So it's either 2 simcards or 1 simcard and 1 microsd card.

Am with three and ee problem is I can't get through to customer services to get the esim and ive tried online and they say that some of my details are missing (on contract with three and pay as you go on ee)
I have now managed to activate my ee sim just was expecting it to be instantaneous but it took a couple of mins
I've got truephone for data which is o2 and Vodafone at moment until I can get a e sim ...
Question if you use normal sim and esim will they both do 5g ??

it's possible to do through online acct.just check exactly what your ordering as can be a bit misleading, or just go on the chat. Usually takes about 2 days to come through.

The good thing to know is that you can have both 2x sims card + a sd card even on a Global variant with only a single hybrid sim tray.
All you need is to be fearless, a candle and some glue
Used that method on mine, working like a charm.
Regards.
thx for tip?

I suppose you put the sdcard on top of the sim. How did they fit in though? The slot is quite thin.

Yes. I wont lie to you you kind of have to brute force it back inside, but it gets in and out in the end with some patience and some located strength (as long as you do not keep taking them in and out all the time it is ok).
To make it work you have to 'peal' the Sim chip off its plastic support. That's basically the trick. But that's an handy one.
What I wonder thought is if the Indian flavor of the phone with that extra dedicated Sim tray, has an hybrid tray bellow, meaning wondering if that trick could make them have 3x sims + 1x SD. I suppose not, but still curious.
