Hi,

I've just ordered mine from magic-sim.com a week ago (28th no cut), but I've no info about shipping, no confirmation mail. Only the paypal transaction ticket.

I've contacted them, but no answers for the moment...

I don't know if I'll get one a day ....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
I bought mine off the ebayer directdevices, he says he owns magic-sim.com as well. His service to me was great when I emailed him about something. Otherwise, expect no confirmation, no info on shipping, the magic sim will magically arrive at your door steps.

Double sim

Someone has tried a reliable double sim device for Galaxy s2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
If you'd read the thread you'd known that the magic-sim no cut 28th(+) works fine
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Wow, where have you been? :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markdj57:
If someone gets this, it would be great to see photos of how it fits in as I didn't think there was room inside the back cover for another sim!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Someone already has posted a picture earlier in the thread... this one...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
Really, if you read a book do you always start at the end?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markdj57:
Thanks for the photo, must have missed that.

Ok, just catching up on the thread. Is there certain roms that will work with this ? Will all stock roms work with this? Simtoolkit is in the apk list but it never appears on any menu...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
Ah, that is nice you thanked me for that nasty reply (sorry for that). I'm not sure about the rom compatibility though. Mine arrived yesterday and I must say I am not impressed. It fits and all but it doesn't really work for me. I'm on cm7 (siyah kernel) and have the stk in my app drawer. It goes haywire on 007 and NO. hide modes so that is a no no for me. From the stk it sometimes switches once after a reboot but back and forth won't work. If it does work I get a force close of com.android.phone (any of you experiencing this?) and if it doesn't the stk just hangs up. Can't even access the language tab.

Am I the only one or are you guys having similar experiences.

Going to write an email to magic sim now.

Btw. Ordering from magic-sim.com worked well got delivered in a few days (within europe).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
No I can't say I had any issues at all. It just worked.

Maybe it's your CM7? Probably best to see what they say as its more than likely there's a workaround to your problem considering no-one else has mentioned it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
I figured that. I probably go back to stock tonight and see if works. Just to make sure.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
I take off the silver metal bracket lightly glued to sim2, just use some scotch tape to tape the 2nd sim card to the sim2 plastic, and now I have less of a bulge(that's what she said).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] woaloo:
Not Working

Hi, I've just received mine today, and it's not working. I only can use the sim card on the N°1 slot, the second one is never recognized.

If I dial 001, it tell me SFR Sim-1 as operator name, and if I dial 002, it still says me SFR Sim-1

Same thing if I reboot my phone.

I'm very disappointed :-(

Now, I need to buy another GS2 as second sim holder ;-)

Never heard about this android app to manage sim cards.

My rom is Androidmeda French and my operators are SFR and Leclerc Mobile
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
You can't just dial 001 without setting it up to accept that mode in the stk menu. You need to use the stk menu on your phone to switch sims or activate the "007 mode"- if that makes sense?

Find the stk menu and I reckon you'll be on track

:)

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Also I don't think every single rom variation is covered.... I'm using 2.3.5 If that helps and it works perfectly
[Galaxy S II Accessories] woaloo:
Ok, but where I can find this STK (Sim Tool Kit) Menu ?

I've search the app drawer but nothing....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
Well yea, for me it just appeared in the app drawer. It's more than likely your rom. Try moving to a version that is known to be compatible, like I say I'm on 2.3.5 as that'll fix it id imagine.

Failing that why don't you email the people you bought it off and get some advice, they'll probably deal with this sort of thing all the time.

anyone using gmate http://www.magic-sim.com/product-details.php?Product=13
[Galaxy S II Accessories] martincolclough:
Not yet, I got a 28th gen plus for my galaxy s2 from them the other day which Is working great... but I noticed the Gmate yesterday on their site and it caught my eye.

I'm very tempted, if it does what it says it does and can handle 2 active sims at the same time it would be awesome!!

Hmmmmm I might bite the bullet and order one. I'll email them now and check its all good with the galaxy s2

I'll report back if anyone's interested?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] martincolclough:
Ok so I emailed magic-sim and they said the Gmate will work with the S2. I think I'll order one tomorrow once I get paid. I'll let people know what it's like once it arrives.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] woaloo:
Finally, I've got it to work properly with the STK. Now, everything is fine.

This mode is far more quicker than the 007 mode.

But now, I've seen this Gmate....Life is a big struggle.....
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
STK is part of the simCard itself

I claimed because I ordere insured and did not receive my within 5 days. On the 6th day is arrived with normal delivery and one more a week later insured:) So I have now two
[Galaxy S II Accessories] martincolclough:
Hahaha I hear you on that! Well I ordered a Gmate today for my Galaxy S2, will let you know when it arrives and how I get on!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
Just as an update. The dual sim no cut 28th from magic sim (and I believe this is true for all adapters) does not work with AOSP roms. So it will not work properly with for instance cyanogenmod or miui. Stock and stock based roms are fine.

It is not all bad the adapter is still usable for AOSP roms but switching requires a reboot or turn on air plane mode before switching. Although the latter doesn't work for me (yet). Two sims online is out of the question of course.

My guess is there is something different with the com.android.phone process. If there are any "wizards" reading along it would be much appreciate if one could look into it. Or give me some pointers as to what I can do myself to investigate. I think I'll try a logcat first.

edit: the logcat seems empty.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] woaloo:
I've the Androidmeda rom, and it's working as you say.

007 mode doesn't work properly, and sometimes freeze the phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markdj57:
I have just got the magic sim non cut and on stock rom a new app appears called dualsim.

Unfortunately I have not been able to get the internet working AFTER changing sims. If i turn on the phone, apn is set correctly but if i switch to sim2, apn doesnt switch.

Has anyone figured how to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Blueyes990:
magic sim 28th work with 3ita and wind?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] manmad:
what happens if you set the apn again on the other sim? Will internet work after switching sims then?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markdj57:
After going in and out of flight mode the internet works on sim2 but the dualsim app disappears until a reboot.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
What android version you on?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] markdj57:
I am using the latest stock firmware from samfirmware, XWKJ3

EDIT: Which firmware do you use?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Danieldewsbury:
I'm not sure that would be a supported firmware. Why don't you email magic-sim and find out?

I've said before in this post I'm on android 2.3.5 and it works flawlessly if that helps?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattsnap:
Massive thanks to you guys for this thread. Got my MAGICSIM 28th plus no-cut following your advice and I'm really pleased it works!

Couldn't be happier with it.

Thanks again, so glad there's online communities like xda helping share advice I've this.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
it's strange. On my SGS2 it works, when I go in and out of flight mode. I have 2.3.5 XWKI8. Dualsim disappered, but I have SIM-Tollkit app with the same in it, as Dualsim. So it seemes, only the app name has changed.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] martincolclough:
That is strange! But I guess if it works, it works. So don't worry about it ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] herbivor:
Hi,

first I had some sw problems - no icon stk on my screen. So, I had to flash new rom and suddenly the STK app appears. But. Although it seems ok and I can switch between my 2 SIMs I can´t make any call: after dialing, I can hear 3 or 4 beeps and the device hangs up "by itself" :eek:

But what is more weird - I can send and receive SMS. I don´t really understand. Some revolution - or what :-)

MagicSim 3g dual sim stop working

I bought a MagicSim 3g dual sim and this is my experience:

- After installation i had no problem. It worked like a charm in STK mode and in 007 mode

- With original samsung battery, there is no way to close properly the phone cover, using a battery replacement, a little bit slimmer, the cover close properly after some efforts.

- After some days (3 days) MagicSim stops working, maybe due to some battery changing. Maybe I damaged the mailard.

I will not buy it again

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
I can't really agree with you there. I've had a Magicsim 28th gen PLUS in my Samsung Galaxy S2 for over 2 and a half months now. I use it constantly and it works dead well.

Also i only have a standard battery in my S2 and the no-cut version fits absolutely fine :confused:

I'd say its probably the most useful thing i have for my S2 as i was constantly having to take my sims out to swap over before.

Anyway thats my $0.02
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asheg:
how does it work at all?

i can use them to have 2 local mobile operators working in any country with any operators ??

shall i ask a new operator to program it or what?

so i will use my own old simcard as normal plus i can connect that magicsim to the phone and have another operator?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Markoldfield:
I love this thing. Don't know how I managed before I got it. Such a great gadget and it's so useful. Just installed 4.0 and was biting my nails incase my Magicsim no longer worked but it's all fine!

Couldn't recommend this highly enough to people that are sick of constantly physically changing over their sims on their Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] davesalmon:
Hi guys!

I can also confirm this is working flawlessly for me on my Galaxy S2.

I recently upgraded from the standard Galaxy S to the Galaxy S2 and moved my Magicsim over to the new phone. It works great and I'd even say sim switching is a little bit faster on the S2.

It's a great little device and it's probably worth noting that I have it working with a 'three network' sim (something I've struggled with in previous dual sim adapters)

I have this version for any interested....

[Galaxy S II Accessories] maaximal:
I'm using a dualsim I bought from Amazon for about 30$. Works fine. But I think the Galaxy S2 is to new for it. I can't switch the sim without rebooting my phone :/ On my older phones (Nokia N95 8Gb) the dual sim works perfect. I'll have a test with my Sensation XE later.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] martincolclough:
Yea it sounds like you've got an old dual sim. You need the MAGICSIM 28th gen PLUS for the galaxy s2. Try the link posted above.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
try it without reboot. Try to go in and out of fligt mode only
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ynl078:
hi i have just received my magicsim 28th+, for my sg s2 everything seem to work, except when changing sim through stk menu dualsim, when switching from sim 1 to sim2 , it changes, then i do flightmode on and off data off then on to restore data, but when switching back to sim1, the above procedure to restore data and apn dosent work my apn is empty, even after rebooting phone. 007 mode dosent work, any help thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
Try to contact magic-sim, sounds interesting, that from 1 to 2 it's OK, but from 2 to 1 NOK.

When you get out the magic sim from your sgs2 and try your sim cards, then both are ok?

Besides: I never did data off and data on, I have only set flightmode on and flightmode off.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] albsat:
In my past, using dual-sim adaptars was fun only at beginning and not practical at all. I guess the future coming dual sim galaxy S2 duos will be a good solution for those wanting a dual sim card.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
but till then it is the best solution, I think...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Hi guys,

I've had my Magic Sim 28th for a while, used it between Hong Kong and China successfully. However, I let my friend borrow it a month ago, and when he returned it, adapter no longer works. It wouldn't read the sim card no matter how many reboots. The STK no longer shows up either, despite the .apk being installed on my phone. I am using CheckRom, which was working great with the Magicsim... Anyone else experience this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
Not yet, but also not borrowed :) I think your friend has to buy a new one for you
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
You tried calling "007" from the phone? He may have put it in 007 mode?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Thank you for the suggestion, I have dialed "007," I fully expected James Bond to answer, but unfortunately, it said "mobile network not available." It doesn't seem to pick up the sim card in the sim 1 slot at all..

I do know that my friend was silly and messed with the STK (he admitted he was selecting random things on the STK menu), but there is not way to back track since STK doesn't show up anymore...

Any other suggestion?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
I'd probably suggest to your friend that he buys you a new one! :eek:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iEthos:
Hahaha called james bond :DDD It depends which bond did u call :D if Daniel he is on holiday :DDD

So about sim

I had problem with this as well

remove one sim and leave one in magic insert in mobile turn on and try dial 007

If not try other bay if not grab screw driver and run it on that chip legs short it and it might reset but that one sim and dial 007 helped for me it turned off

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Kurai Kitsune:
Previously had the £3.76 version from eBay. Couldn't get it to work.

Now I have the proper magic sim 28+ version, works fine.

My only problem is apn switching. It takes quite a while to load my Orange one, but the other for TalkMobile doesn't appear. Only gives me Vodafone.

Anyone know of a useful apn switching app that can force a custom apn on? I've tried some switchers but haven't been able to get it just right yet. Anyone else have this setup?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] trhush:
y use this on my phone, this can auto switch on each card setting by time.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-SIM-...448155?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6ec4181b

the only bad thing is that you need to cut the simcard.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
after switching between the SIM cards I always put the phone to airplane mode and back. With this step it always finds the right apn
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asheg:
hey guys. i have a lil' question for magic-sim users or whatever are u using...

when simcards inside and phone is on, are they both standby so i can receive any phone call to any simcard or i need to choose only 1 manualy (the one i want to be active)?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ozaric:
I have the extended battery, would one of these fit or would the back cover not clip down correctly?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] browngeek:
I presume these will work with ICS?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
Yep! You'd be right, it does work with ICS.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
I had this question before and somebody (don't know if it was this thread) said it worked fine. The backcover is very flexible so it might bulge a bit but nothing major.

I can't see a reason why not. Keep in mind right now it doesn't work (fully) with AOSP roms (e.g. CM and MIUI). Hopefully the ICS AOSP's will fix this.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ozaric:
Ok thanks for that Wil have a look into these and report back
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
only one (the actual choosen) will be reachable (single-standby), but you can set up an automatized changing cyclus between the two cards (f.e. 30 minutes on sim1 and after that 30 min on sim2). Or you can redirect your incoming calls from sim2 to sim1. In this case it doesn't matter which of your sims will be called, you can answer it

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

I was it, the back cover fits with the extended battery too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Carnelain:
On what device did you test? More importantly did you use stock or AOSP?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
wow, really? it can redirect calls from one sim2 to sim1? That is awesome, my magicsim 28th broke, but if that function works, I may get another one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
I use is this way. Call-redirection is set up directly on SIM (not in the phone). So what I did: switched to SIM2 - set up call-redirection all incoming calls to the Nr. of SIM1 - switched to SIM1

And it works perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mljjlm:
What is the meaning of having two SIMs then? :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gpo2307:
Question

Hi all,

I have a question :

I have a first SIM Card, let's call it SIM1, and a second one, let's call it SIM2.

I would like to go on internet and write SMS/MMS with SIM1. SIM2 must just receive call (it mustn't go on internet or send SMS/MMS or my boss will kill me). Will Gmate work like this?

How communicate GMATE with my phone? By bluetooth ?

Thanks by advance !
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
I can receive all incoming calls (office and private) via office SIM and i can lauch outgoing calls via office SIM (as my company pays it for me) or if I want to call from my private Nr. (people, who aren't allowed to know my office Nr.) or vica-versa, than I can switch to private SIM and make the call. And I don't need two phones or manually change SIM-s to that. Besides on my private SIM I have free mobile TV, free SMS, free calls, which I can use only from that SIM. So for me it is worth the money.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
I'm new here but i just wanted to say thanks! I've been wanting this function on my Galaxy S2 for a while and really didn't know what to look for or how to find a reliable option. Its great to have access to all this information and help from people on forums like this!

After reading about it on here (and seeing the video) i got one for my phone and it works! I'm very pleased.

So thanks again! :D

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Markoldfield:
Yea I've looked at this but for me I'd rather have an adapter in my phone especially considering I'll want to upgrade my phone in the next year. Being able to use an adapter in my phone is nice as it doesn't restrict me too much...

Unless all phones are made dual sim I think I'll stick to the www.magic-sim.com type adapters as I'm pefectly happy with it and it does everything I need it to.

MagicSIM 28thGen+

Hi,

Just for your information, I have installed a MagicSIM 28thGen+ in my S2.

Does mostly work but often when you switch SIMs, calls and SMS will fail and you have to power off and on to get the calls and SMS back.

I have two TMobile SIM cards installed and it the adapter does fit although there is a slight bulge in the back cover.

I do wonder if SIM switching might work better with SIM cards from different providers.

In my opinion, not perfect but still better than carrying around two phones.

Hope this helps anyone.

John
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
never had this issue. The only point, where I have to power off/on (I do only fligtmode on/off) is for the data connection (changing APN-s)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jscsltd:
Could be ROM versions I guess.

I'm on an unrooted S2 with XWKI4 and Android 2.3.4.

Hopefully Samsung will update the XEU phone I have soon, although I'm getting more tempted to root by the day.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Hello,

Ok I followed and bought one too. My question relating to the function of (2 sim on-line).

I tried to understand its purpose but still need help. Can some one correct me if I am wrong? The purpose of this function, is it right, to get the phone switching from one Sim to the other one automatically at given selcted interval time?

Ok I did it but noticed nothing hapen.

Any idea or help if I missed some thing.

Otherwise the dual sims function right with no issue.

Thanks for your advices
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Markoldfield:
Yea it's for timed switching. You set it to 'on' and select in minutes how long you want it to be on each sim.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Thanks for your reply. This in fact what I thout understood, and would appreciate. But how concretely that works. I am asking because I set it up on with 15 min on Sim-1 and 45 min on Sim-2. tried to observe what then would hapen after one hour, I did not notice nothing at all.

Should I see some thing and what?

thanks again
[Galaxy S II Accessories] doongoo:
You won`t see anything, until you don`t try to call. Or you can simple check every 30. minutes on which sim you actually are

It happens using STK and 007. With online mode as well.

I've tried to enable Two step verification on Google. Tired to disable it. Activated application password. No success at all.
