HAHA that is freakin hilarious xD yeah, exactly. i could honestly see samsung doing that, but HTC wouldnt i dont think. which is gooood. i think the most un-reasonable form factor+screen is the G2x hahah the whole phone is long and crap with a small screen. i love form factors like the nexus, just mostly screen. i hate when there is so much space (LIKE THE MYTOUCH LINE).
[Atrix 4G General] stratax:
oh lol, that link just went to mobile youtube!
[Atrix 4G General] mjharris65:
I support small technology. The atrix is about as big as I will go, even if that means sacrificing some specs and forgoing some incredible devices in the future.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Yes it did, Im on a mobile. I hope you were able to view it the same.:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] eclypse3demons:
My wife has the Samsung Infuse thats a 4.5" and I think that is my limit on size, I envy her screen because its a super amoled+ and just makes my atrix look like an iphone 1st gen =)

Anything beyond that really is a tablet that that point. I will never go back to anything smaller than the atrix screen wise though.

promising but confused to how an O2 sim card shows as Swisscom and not O2 *country*?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RHOUSMAN:
Avoid simore like the plague.

There's much more reliable options out there for this. I've wasted a lot of money with Simore in the past. My advice is Magicsim 28th PLUS off ebay

Hope this helps!

Does anyone have any advice on a good place to get a dual sim adapter from for the galaxy S2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sophiewyles:
I'd be interested in this too....anyone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
Looks really good. Sadly no videos nor pictures yet but I'll keep this in mind. How do you switch between sims?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sophiewyles:
Well I switch sims on the stk menu by just selecting which sim I want active but you can also set it to switch sims at a set timed interval. E.g. 60mins on sim 1, 10 mins on sim 2
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wayne7511:
How the 'connections' r like with the adapter? do u lose signal or anything?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jbravos:
Under the battery? And the back cover close well?

Can you post a photo? Thanx!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sophiewyles:
Connections been absolutely fine. Not noticed any issues with that at all.

It fits fine under the case....easy enough to close and didn't require any excess force or anything like that.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hansation:
can someone post a picture?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jbravos:
Some photos please!

Thanx!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sophiewyles:
woops for some reason the pics didnt attach... I'll try again...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
Thanks for the pic. Looks really good.

Are there a lot of options in the app?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] davesalmon:
Well following sophiewyles advice I got a dual sim adapter for my galaxy s2 from www.magic-sim.com

It's been working really well sim switching is easy and very quick. No complaints here!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
Quick question do any of you have the official samsung extended battery? If yes does it fit with the dual sim adapter?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
Yes, it fits with the 2000 mAh battery too.

But I have a small problem with it:

- after switching between the cards the APN settings are not changed automatically, so internet connection is gone. I have to reboot each time

I use T-mobile (private) and Telenor (office). If on T-mobile, the T-mobile APN-s are active, but when I switch to Telenor, the T-Mobile APN settings stay there and can even not change manually. After reboot it is OK with Telenor. Phone calls are not affected from APN-s, so they are working without problems.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
I just do a reboot every time, no big problem since reboots are so quick. Unless the Blackberries which literally takes 5 minutes..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NightFreaker:
any shortcut (widget) for reboot :confused: i know i off limit on this discussion :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:

Autoswitch not working

Hello,

I am sorry to repost once again since I could not find any solution to my problem.

I have a Samsung SG2 with CheckROM HD rv6 and the dual sim kit does work perfectly but the switch has to be done manually. No way to let it go auto from one sim to another with preset timing.

Any help?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Jricardogil:
It looks like the Chinese Phones. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
I don't know if you are refering to my post, if yes, I do inform you that I bought the phone in France from La Fnac, and the Magicsim purchased directely from UK. Magicsim replaced the kit with new, but still having the same issue, no autoswitch.

If you have any idea, please don't hesitate to communicate the solution

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LexanderMoon:
Lol here in Brazil ppl call Chinese phone - Xing Ling. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Any information?

Thank you guys for your posts but is there is any way to understand why this autoswitch does not work on my phone...?

Rgds
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
Sure, there is a way, but we do not know. Best you ask the official site for help, maybe they can give you an answer...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
I did already but the answer is so strait, just follow instructions, which I did follow but still not working.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
Sad to hear that. You can request your money back as it is not working as described or you can use it other way (change manually)...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
Where did you order it from?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kok_warlock:
Like people said, cheaper rates for calling to numbers of the same operator, and in many cases, like mine, one Sim for personal use and the other for work.

I hate carrying two phones, I bought one of those cheap ones, but this is a palliative sollutions, I think I'm gonna get those Gmate things, I thought it was a bit big, specially the Gmate+, but I think I can live with that, the pain is that I will have now three things to charge, bt headset, Gmate and the phone, not to mention I think the battery of the Gmate looks at least on paper rather weak for what is essentially a dumb phone with no screen, Standby Time: 96 Hours, Talk Time: 4 Hours.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
Yea it fits the Samsung galaxy s2 without any problems.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Hello,

I got from here: http://www.magic-sim.com/

In fact they were very collaborative but they could not give the right answer how to use proprely the autoswitch.

I am still searching for solution since it is very imprtant for me.

MagicSIM 28thGen+

Just to confirm from anybody who may know, I have held back on upgrading to ICS because I'm not sure my MagicSIM 28th Gen+ NO CUT model will work with ICS.

Can anyone confirm that this MagicSIM is OK with ICS please?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ziroxs:
I want to buy a magic dual sim adapter as well but i heard that with ICS/CM9 the adapter is not working properly.

Any feedback please. thx
[Galaxy S II Accessories] SachsenPowl:
Hmm without Support for CM9, i don't need it! But the idea is cool!

First i thought it is an adapter, gonna plug it in USB and there U gonna plug the second SIM... But now I don't think it would work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ziroxs:
I heard that this adapter should work.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] ziroxs:
I just bought this adapter above and will report tomorrow if it works with SGSII and CM9 / ICS ROMs.

Amazon is delivering until tomorrow morning :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JHimmelbauer:
Oh, very expensive - I use currently this one from http://www.magic-sim.com - costs a one-third and works realy perfect on my SGS2 with GB 2.3.6...

EDIT:

it looks like this is the same of magic-sim, however, three times as expensive...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] alam1971:
Is it working?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mr.newb:
i think dualsim is only for women :D

nah, i just don't need this kind of feature because it is in my opinion not really an improvement for this phone ^^
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
In your opinion...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] saywhatt:
Daaaang.. The only dual adapter here in the Philippines is the Gmate thing and it's really expensive :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
order it from magic-sim, if you are interested in. They sell worldwide, if I'm right
[Galaxy S II Accessories] saywhatt:
How much is it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
26,48 GBP incl. trackable shipping
[Galaxy S II Accessories] messenmack:
I somehow lost the stk menu after calling up the 007 menu?

Can I do anything to reverse this?

I ordered the sim a few days back, and it arrived here in The Netherlands this morning.

Great service, kudos.

BTW, I'm on stock ICS. 4.0.3 baseband 19100BULP6 kernel 3.0.15-19100BULPC-CL332484 dpi@Dell154 3 Build IML74K BULPC

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Okay, I switched off, and removed my sim (1) then switched back on. I got a message saying 'no operator' or something similar, yet was able to post mail, and use whatsapp!

I switched back off, re-inserted sim (1) and rebooted.

Voila. I now have a dual-sim icon instead of the earlier STK one, and when entering the menu, I see that Sim 1 is now 01.

All seems to work, though I'm still puzzled how it does it.

Would love an explanation if possible, and how to rename back to Sim 1?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] messenmack:
How did you do this, I can't see how to?

TIA.

Jim. :cool:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] VooDoo.maGiK:
another good reason to use this type of thing is if you know people overseas but your normal sim charges outrageous fees for international calls/msgs, so you get a cheap sim for those type of calls, saves the hassle of all the sim swapping.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
It goes just direct. Just switch to the sim, you want just receive calls on it and go to the phone settings-call-redirect-all and put the No. of your other sim. Then switch back to the other sim and just use it, as usual. If you get a call from the other sum, you will get a short notification "redirected call' at the beginning of the incoming call.

I'm still on GB because I'm not sure if it will!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Just want to if any one succeed in getting the automatic switch working at a given interval time.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Bl!GhT:
Do both the sims stay online always ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] saywhatt:
i wanna order magic sim but i don't have paypal -.- are there any other options?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
No, they can not, but there is an option to set an interval time to switch automatically from sim to another. Also this option does not work for me.

The best solution I found is to keep one sim alive all time while the other is set to transfer calls to it. I don't if that help, but in case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jscsltd:
Can anyone tell me if they have the magic sim working on ICS please?

I have held back upgrading my S2 to ICS to gingerbread in case this would cause the magic SIM to fail but itching to upgrade to ICS, so any info on this will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

John
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
As far as I know it should work with a non-AOSP version of ICS. So if you are on stock or use a derivative rom you should be fine. Cyanogemod 9 and MIUI won't work.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kaltuzak:
Bought this magic sim from dealextreme. It's working fine on my ICS custom rom from wanam.

Does somebody of you who use "MAGIC SIM CARD" tried option "2 SIM ON-LINE", cause on this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NyJ5H1RjZIc

is shown this option, or maybe that option is just for using with MAGI SIM + GMATE ?

I need some adapter for 2 sim card, which will help me to be both sim cards active, but calling to be possible just from 1 sim card in same time, and recieving calls possible on both sim card ?

This solution offers one of ISPs in my country, on 1 SIM CARD - 2 phone numbers registered at GSM operator, and possible recieving calls on 2 phone numbers (1 sim card), and making calls just from 1 phone number. If somebody knows some adapter similary to this, please post info ?

I don't use this solution from my ISP, cause they don't have stable application for Android OS newer versions :( !

Thanks!

p.s.

i don't like gmate, like saywhat told, it's bad when you have to take with your out 1 more device :) ...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
I am using this Magic sim for the past few months.

- Technically both sims can not be on line at time as I understood from someone thread. The problem is that phone has only one in/out cabibility.

- I could never use the On-Line automatice switch. I found a way that may be helpfull for you. I keep one sim (that using 3G) active all the time. The other sim I set it to transfer its calls to the alive one.

- The Magic sim works wonderfully with ICS 4.0 (Tried it with several ROMS).

That is all what I know, but really I wished that Autoswitch could work.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sucro:
Merci beaucoup mon ami for useful info :) ... Yes, that's limit of this product, or maybe that's related to technical posibility of SGS2, probably this option for online 2 phone numbers on 1 SIM CARD is just in power of our ISPs :( ... For ex. my ISP ofer option for 2 phone numbers on 1 SIM CARD, but their app for this SIM CARD with 2 phone numbers - accesible 2 phone numbers in same time on 1 SIM CARD doesn't work well on new versions of OS Android, like a sandwich ...

Aha, understand :) , but that you can do with 1 SIM CARD too :) , just to make active that another phone number, from another sim card at your GSM operator :) , and then to make option forwarding phone calls from that "non-active" sim card phone number to active sim card - phone number, isn't that same like in your case ?

I don't see then point to buy this MAGIC SIM :) , if you transfer calls from non-active to active sim card, that can be done without magic sim ...

But autoswitch isn't good option too, if swithching happens every 3-5 minutes, and if sometime call you for important call in that interval, and you aren't accesible, isn't so useful ...

However thanks for sharing you knowledge !

Probably i'll ask my ISP for 1 sim card with 2 phone numbers on that card, cause their app works on way that you can disable when you want 1 sim card, and both can be on-line in same time, very good option, but there is no comercial sim card like this one at my GSM operator...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Well, as far as I am concerned my ettings help me using (in my case) my personal sim (3G) and that of my work (only phone). So when I want to make, only, business calls I switch to work sim, otherwise I am always on the personal sim. I am satisified with settings, but I can understand when both sims are private, then that solution doesn't help.

By the way, are you saying automaic swich works in your case. I could never succeed to make work in mine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sucro:
I didn't buy it yet :) , i just plan to buy it, but try to find here some more infou about xda member's expirience with that solution ...

In fact 2 sim cards which i use are - 1 for me private, and another one for some my private business, at all i don't use some sim from company where i work :) ...

I just want to avoid sometimes calls from my little private business, you know, sometimes you want to relax without some calls :) which aren't too important for you, but with option sometimes that you can be acessible on both phone numbers, and call just from 1 sim card ... But it seems this magic sim doesn't offer this function ... So probably i'll have to use solution from my ISP 1 sim card - 2 phone numbers from my GSM operator, and with option to be online on both phone numbers, but calling is possible just from 1 phone number, which is ok for me, at all, i'm just afraid this app for sim card from my GSM operator will not work on new versions of OS Android :( , that's reason why i planned to try Magic sim solution :) ...

I think somebody here shared expirience about automatic switching every 3-5 minutes to diff. sim car, read previous pages :) ...

Once tnx for sharing your expirience !

Greetzz ;)

low audio quality Gmate - Galaxy s2

:( Hi I also have a GMATE and a Galaxy S2 but i'm very unhappy for the low audio quality.

The voice ( through the BT connection) is 'metallic' and clipped ; no improvement using audio setting.

The SW also is quite 'primitive' and is not easy to access to the 'phone book' to make a phone call.

'Lost' call ( when you are not connected) are also notified by a message and stored anyway.

So Fantastic idea but very bad implementation :crying:

:confused: Do you are suffering of the same low audio quality ? [ may be my Gmate or my galaxy s2 are not working]

Gmate client release = 1.9.8 ; fw release 5.1.16

GS2 = android 4.0.3 but same 'bad' result also with 2.3.5 and 2.3.6

With this dual sim are you available on bout sim card at the same time?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] shadowkavi:
SWEET !!!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
I guess you are not rooted? I highly suggest you root your phone, instal a custom rom. For the power menu, I have a reboot button so I only need to press the physical power button, then choose reboot. Quick and easy.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
No you cannot use two sim cards at the same time, I think it is an android limitation.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nyssa1104:
It has nothing to do with andriod... the handsets needs two receivers and transmitters radios to work independently for each sim card.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
It is not a limitation of android but of the phone(s). It just has one antenna. But I believe (don't know this first hand) the app can check for messages and missed calls on a given interval. So you'll only have a pseudo solution.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Yea that's right. I have my dual sim set up to pick up missed calls and text messages by switching automatically every 30 mins.

So in effect it's on sim 1 for 30 mins and sim 2 for 5 mins
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Kamikaze62:
I'm going to pick one of these up form magic-sim. Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eranox:
I'd like to buy the magic-sim Dual Sim 28th 3g No Cut. Does it cause battery drain?

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
Still not owning one myself I can't really say from my own experience. But in theory if the phone would be switching between sims occurs regularly the phone has to register with the providers every time. This will require some energy but I don't think it is noticeable compared to for instance the screen.

I wouldn't know about the extra electronics. I understand the app appears as soon as the adapter is inserted so there must be some memory present. And the connection to the sim become longer that theoretically loses more energy.

Overall I guess you'll will not notice it. If it matters to you you could test it. Just drain you fully charged phone with and without the adapter while keeping it on standby. Will probably cost you a week of not using your phone but you (and us) will know exactly.

dual SIM adapter doesn´t work

Hi ,

I bought the magic sim no cut 28th a few days ago and unfortunatelly it won´t work: no skt menu will appear - so I cannot switch between the SIM cards :-(. I just see SIM 1 but there is no possibility how to switch. Of course - I tried to "call" 002 and 007 or 005 (according to the manual) - but in vain.

I have 2.3.4 Lite´ning. I have no idea where I could made mistake.....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Have you looked for the sim tool kit (STK) menu on your phone? Thats how you switch sims. You cant just dial 002 etc without firstly finding the STK menu.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] herbivor:
Hi,

Yes - I did. There is no .apk like STK - I tried to look it up. And I tried to dial 002 - but no reaction. Only the machine voice : "the number you are dialling does not exist" :-). So, I guess it is problem of SIM toolkit, isnt´t it? :-(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
The STK is part of android right? Every android phone has it regardless of adapter.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] herbivor:
I think you are right........but it is not in my system/app :-). So, I am trying to find the right stk.apk. I tried to install 5 different copies of stk.apk I downloaded from various forums - and the result is: "the application is not installed".
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Yea the stk menu just appeared for me... you shouldn't need to download it. Maybe email the people you bought it off as thats what i'd do!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Iarwa1N:
I just got the magic sim dual sim but i have a problem. Everytime i select sim2 or sim1 on stk menu, the application force closed and after that the stk menu become inactive and i have to restart. I could not manage to switch sim2 until now. i'm using cm 7.1 by the way. any help ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Markoldfield:
Thanks for all the advice guys! got a dual sim for both my LG and my Galaxy S2 from the previously mentioned www.magic-sim.com and all has been great.
