[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Has anyone else noticed their Sensation getting hot even when in the Bootloader?

And I'm not talking about the screen or the battery (those stay cool), but the bottom part of the phone, mainly the front, on the buttons and at the bottom of the screen.

This might be part of a problem I describe here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259247) but I just wanna see what people say
[HTC Sensation] exxpired:
I think it gets hot in bootloader due to the screen being on constantly and it being white using more energy? Plus if its plugged into to the pc aswell ti will get hot.

PS. In regards to your other thread, I had this issue at first but it has calmed down, But when using mobile data the phone gets hot sometimes in the 40s (used to be alot worse) and also playing some games it can heat up. After peaking o HTC rep they said aslong as its under 50C its safe to use.

Its a very common issue and pretty piss taking but hey, its the cpu thats heating up.
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Thanks for your response mate.

The issue with the phone heating up was one I did NOT always have - it just suddenly appeared. Before that, it would only get hot while playing 3D games - otherwise, it would always stay nice & cool, or just a little warm, even when using 3G etc.

So, I don't think it's normal. I think it's a problem. Whether HTC wants to admit it is a different question.

So I'd been looking for a dual sim adapter for my galaxy S2 for a while. I didn't want to cut my sims and I needed it to let me use all my phones functions like 3G etc for data. I'd tried a few different types in the past and almost gave up but after reading about It here I decided to give the Magicsim 28th+ a go.

I was really impressed with this product... Not only did it arrive real quick it was dead easy to set up (it's basically just plug and play) and it works. Takes about 5 seconds to switch sims and it works flawlessly with 3G dataconnections etc. another massive plus was that it works with my 'three network' sim which I've had problems with from other dual sim adapters. Anyway, Id defo recommend it for anyone after a dual sim adapter. The exact models ordered is this one...

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Aerobotix:
pictures would be great.

did you get the cut or the no-cut model ? the cut model seems nice, doesnt take up much space either.

which other dual sims did you try that did not work ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
I got the 28th+ no-cut one as I didn't fancy cutting my sims but that's only because my second sim is a work one and my boss is a bit of a d*ck

In the past I've tried quite a few. I tried a expensive simore one which was rubbish and their customer service was appalling, I tried one called HyperCard which didn't work for me, and I tried a really cheap one on eBay which again just didn't work at all.

I'll upload some pics later when I get home of how it fits for anyone that wants to see it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Here is a thorough discussion on the 28th magicsim in case some of you are interested in it. Photos are in there some where. Wonderful product, work just as it should.

I bought one of them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Twin...734?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item53ea838666 for £3.78 and it works perfectly with my Orange UK sims (with data and all)

Cant go wrong for that kind of money
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
Haha that's the exact one I got on eBay before. It does not work with the Samsung galaxy 2.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cz.marcin:
Haha maybe You didnt put it in right :P Works perfectly, just bought another one for my friend...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
Hmm looks like 3G isn't active.. That'll be why.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
Well I've just ordered one of the cheap ones from the eBay link posted above so I'll report back on weather it did the job once it arrives.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cz.marcin:
Hmm that's probably cause there is a Wifi icon...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
Ah yea true...can you post a pic demonstrating 3G working too?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cz.marcin:
Will try to get a snapshot but only place with 3G in my city is in Orange shop downtown... Everywhere else is EDGE or GPRS
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
Ah ok, id make a bet with you that it doesn't work with 3G. Like I say I've tried all these things out and spent a lot of money in the process so I'm pretty confident it won't work...

If you find out otherwise post a pic please as I'd love to see for sure! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Aerobotix:
Me too. I certainly don't wanna pay the bigger price. A buddy asked about a dual sim. For more that 10 bucks, imo its just as fast to switch sim card. Maybe not fun tho..

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Holgott:
Well, even when it works to have two sims working together, there should be much more battey drain i guess
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
Well I'm running the MAGICSIM one that I posted at the start of this topic. I'm pleased with it and wasn't bothered about the price ultimately because I need this function and I need to be able to access 3G etc on both sims. Ive not noticed any extra battery drain to be honest and I have it set to auto switch every 30mins to pick up any messages/ missed calls so I use it a lot.

Like I say, having a lot of experience with these, I doubt that cheap one works with 3G
[Galaxy S II Accessories] decodertje:
waiting for a snapshot ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
I think you'll be waiting a long time... Mine arrived today off the eBay guy and it definately does not work with 3G :mad:

I guess I'll order one from the magic-sim.com link wrightywright posted. I'll post my results on here to confirm it does infact work as advertised!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cz.marcin:
Bad news, tested it today in different city, and it doesnt support 3G :(

still good enough for me though as there is no 3G in my city ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
Yea I thought the same. Like I said I've tried pretty much every option going and the MAGICSIM one is the only option that works fully.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
Received the dual sim from magic-sim.com today. I can confirm that it works well, works properly with 3g connectivity and even works with my three network sim.

Pleased with the all round service. I guess you get what you pay for.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mattsnap:
Yea I can also confirm that I got a dual sim adapter from magic-sim.com for my Samsung galaxy s2 and am very happy with it. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Kurai Kitsune:
I just got one of these £3.78 ones, but my sgs2 says emergency calls only. I believe I fitted it correctly, with the official 2000mah battery I had to fold it back on itself to fit inside the cover.

Can someone please tell me how to turn the auto switch function off? My Sims keep switching after few hours which I don't want.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] subhani:
Wow, I may get one as I travel a lot. Does the back cover create any problems when closing over the second sim? I can't imagine where it would find space.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
No it fits fine, the back cover on the SG2 is so flexible that it's not a problem

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

I think you need to select the "2 sims online" option to turn that off.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gma388124:
Thank you, thats worked.

However my phones auto rebooted once (while on phone) and another time gone to flight mode. Never done that before so its either due to the official Samsung 2000mah battery or magic Sim 28th gen no cut. Has anyone else had this problem
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
Not had any issues like that at all. It soundalike the battery. What firmware you running?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] daim01:
so would somebody really recommend this? i'm switching all the time between three cards and the solution sounds nice but is it worth the shortcomings?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
Well yea, I had exactly the same problem (but with 2 sim cards) and I'd definately recommend it as its been a great solution for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
Maybe just email the company for some support?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] IOnlyEatJunkFood:
I bought mine (magicsim 28th-A) from Euro Dual Sim:

http://www.eurodualsim.com/

I bought the cutting version.

20€ and it didn't work

! :mad:

My advice? You can try the cheap alternatives in eBay and keep trying until one of them works, but don't spend 20€ in a miracle SIM! if they don't work you'll end up mad with yourself.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
Well its probably worth noting that a friend of mine also got one from the www.magic-sim.com site and he was very pleased with the product and service. He required some support to get his working and he said that they got back to emails very quickly and went out of their way to make sure it was up and running for him.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rewrew:
Hi all!!

I was thinking in buying one of these for my new phone, but i'm concerned about the battery drain.

Have you noticed anything about this? Does the phone work the same amount of time?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
No not noticed any additional battery drain really and I switch sims a lot.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Hello and thanks for the all this information.

2 little questions please:

1- However just one question, when you are set for sim-1 and you do recieve a call on sim-2, do you get any notification? or you have to wait until you switch (auto/manually) to sim-2.

2- Do you thing there should be any issue to install the adapter in French dedicated phone? Hardware wise I would say no, but I am not specialist! And software wise, any idea?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
1. No there's no notification when you are on the alternative sim.

2. I can't see there being any issue with any languages to be honest given that it's a plug-and-play type installation.

Looks exactly the same as mine. Didn't work for me. In fact, I'm willing to sell mine for ~9€ :D (if interested PM me)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] GullRaDriel:
Hi, I'm willing to buy one of these dual sim adapters from magic-sim.

Is there anyone reporting it not working for the SII and SFR ? I have both my professional and private sim from SFR.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] samaliset:
Thanks for the reply.

One more question if possible.

What difference is there between the 28th and 29th releases?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] liamhammond:
From what I gather 29th version is not a genuine MAGICSIM product. The most up to date option is the 28th gen PLUS one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 7gismo:
Well all I can say, it works fine for me including 3G mode on both sim cards;) and yes, it's worth the money (19.99 british pounds)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wrightywright:
17.99 british pounds is what I paid.... www.magic-sim.com

[Galaxy S II Accessories] 7gismo:
to be honest now (after I checked my paypal account) it was 19.29 pounds including posting fee of 1.30 pounds, are we clear now?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] skimforevermore:
can we use both sims at the same time using this adapter? and is this adapter compatible with Philippine sim cards?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] pharaohs:
So i've been using a dual sim adapter in my HD2 for a while but sold my HD2 on ebay to replace with the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Stupidly i forgot to take my sim cards and dual sim adapter out so i've had to get new SIM's AND a new Dual Sim adapter!

Thankfully i read this post! I got a 28th PLUS no-cut from www.magic-sim.com which is brilliant as previously i got the cut version and had to cut my SIM cards. Fortunately the no-cut was simple to install and i didn't need to cut my SIM's or anything! This is my second dealing with magic-sim and both times i received a great service.

Cheers guys!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] mynameisjon:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] browngeek:
Hi

Just testing CM9 and can't get magic sim to work with it.

With that rom, the sim toolkit / stk menu is not showing up and the 007 method does not work.

I have also tried it with Cyanaogenmod 9 and the sim toolkit / stk menu does show up, but when I select sim 2 it shows network as unavailable. Further, when I try going back to sim 1, it won't let me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
Maybe move to a stock rom? I'm on a stock and it works fine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] browngeek:
Yep. Spoke to the supplier and they have it fully tested with stock rom.

Grr. If I have to choose between custom rom and dual sim, I will choose custom rom.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
It's not the decision Id make but I use my dual sim functionality A LOT
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Battletux:
I'd be careful with these dual sim adaptors. I have one of the magic sim no cut ones and it does work, however it has cracked my rear cover after a few months use.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] csalt:
That's unfortunate although me and my brother have had one in our phones for over 6 months now and there's no signs of any problems with the cover. Maybe you've been very unlucky?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] danielmelo:
Bad news for me, I really liked this product, but using the stock rom is out of my plans!

Great product thought, looking foward to it, will try on my phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] patience_gnr:
Is this work fine in dual mode, side by side network.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mynameisjon:
How do you guys fit the sim in the back of the phone? I'm using the extended battery and cover, it doesn't seem to fit.

Okay managed to get it to fit. Had to cut the "honeycomb" support structure above the sim card on the back cover.

Also, this DOES work with CM9, the only thing is that you'll need to reboot after switching from SIM1 to SIM2 and vice versa to get everything working.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaxRabbit:
Do you use the 007 method or the STK app? The numbers are not working for me and the STK app is not showing up when I search for it. Advice?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mynameisjon:
there is a sim toolkit app. I just select sim2 and sim1 as and when.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] giorgios80:
wooww thanks gonna order now!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaxRabbit:
I reflashed to stock. Everything works now, except after selecting the other SIM I have cycle airplane mode for it to work.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaxRabbit:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] mynameisjon:
rilj wake lock. I posted a logcat in the discussion thread.

I don't think they're interested in fixing that though, like FM radio, not many people use dual sims.

So I'm looking for my brother in law, who has a work phone and a normal phone, so what I'm wondering is, if for his work phone he doesn't need network data, will both sims be able to receive calls at any time (unless he's already in a call of course)? Or will you have to switch to receive calls on each sim individually?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MaxRabbit:
You must switch to receive calls.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] twousertwo:
Hello all,

Since i can´t post in Developer´s page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316632) I hope someone can help me out here. The ROM is btw gorgeous (made me thinking of getting one real HTC Sensation).

My HD2 has latest EU radio, MAGLR 1.3 and CWR 210, as required and provided by that ROM developer for his ROM.

I went through the setup process, everything went fine, except for 2 issues, when installation finished. I soon noticed that besides only having around 70mb free out of 410 (which makes it really slow) which I admit is surely due to my inexperience in this (and I´m sure that if I install A2SD properly, this won´t be an issue anymore) the real problem for me is that now the download speeds have gone down from usually at least 150BKps to tops, 55KBps, whereas, strangely enough I´d say, the upload speeds are far higher than the downloads, at least 3x as much. I have tried everything, from trying each and every of HD2´s available radios, to reinstalling WM6.5, both 1.60 and 3.14, and different Android ROMs (tried reverting to Hyperdroid GBX v12, awesome ROM. Strange also, the fact that all wording of "GSM" or "3G" or "HSDPA" have been replaced in both ROMs for something like WCDMA, which even with Hyperdroid, never happened.

Anyways, my SIM card is new (got a new one few days ago). I also tried my new SIM card in another cell phone (Galaxy Sii) and it reached around 7.1 mbps (which is 1/3 of my current mobile internet plan subscription) which is ok.

I did read a lot last few days about this issue but seems never get answered.

Anyone else having this issue?

I hope someone can help.

Cheers!

Hi, I was running Android on my HD2 for almost 9 months, currently HyperDroid5.5.2. Till now, without any problem whatsoever. Suddenly, when I checked my phone this morning it didn't respond. So I waited a while, then tried pulling the battery. Booting got stuck at Android logo. No problem I thought, I periodically do nandroid backups just in case. Tried to restore it - stuck at restoring data. Then I tried advanced restore, only boot and system... either of them didn't work. After this, I decided to reinstall from scratch - task29, radio, magldr, cwm. The ROM installation got stuck again. So I tried flashing stock SPL and stock ROM from HTC site. SPL okay, ROM not. Got error 262 from the RUU. Tried searching the forum but there is so much stuff that it's impossible to get through. So please don't bash me from beeing a noob. Can anyone please help?

Edit: After the phone finally accepted WM back, I want to put Android back on it... ROM installation gets stuck at restoring Batterystats.bin... any ideas?
