Next question, has anyone managed to get wivit sim switching software to work properly?

it seems to work with the 3 (Three) SIM, but when I switch to the T-Mobile si, it just says invalid or missing sim?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jatt:
hi

For unknown reasons, i dont seems to get sim switcher installed on my Exec, it keeps on saying cant be installed in this location and it does not matter whether i choose device or storage card??

Any thoughts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
The cab won't install, you can install it manually by creating a registry key and putting some files on the device.

It doesn't like my T-mobile SIM tho.

You need to make theses reg keys

And use the files in the attached zip

@l6cum

Hey,

Just tell customer services 2 mrw that ur sim is not working but an other 3 sim is working alright in ur phone, dont mention anything about cutting sim etc

If u save some £££, make a donation to any charity

@hollinshead

I m sturggling to get it worked as u said in ur post above

Made a directory as u listed above but cant make other registery changes, basically dont know how to do so, help!

Jatt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
You need to use a registry editor to make changes to the registry.

I used resco registry editor, but any should do.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jatt:
Hi

I use total commander,

Was able to make a directory

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\SIM Status Switcher

But cant do all other things u listed and also

what do i do with the attached files ( programme file and windows).

Do i copy paste them in programme files and windows folder of Exec?

i tried that but nothing happened?

Some more help!

Thanks in advance

Jatt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
It requires the registry keys to work.

Hold on and I'll try to export them.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
Right, I've included the registry settings in a .reg file.

As for the files in that ZIP:

\Program Files\SIM Status Switcher

WiVSSS.dll

WiVSSS.lang

WiVSSS_DEU

WiVSSS_ENG

WiVSSS_FRA

\Windows\

WiVSSSHelp_DEU.htm

WiVSSSHelp_FRA.htm

\Windows\Help\

SIM Status Switcher

Place all the files as listed on your PDA, import the registry key, then reboot it.

Once rebooted, go to Start > Settings > Today > Items and tick SIM Status Switcher

It should now appear on your today screen, not that it likes T-Mobile SIMS :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jatt:
Hi,

I did everything as u wrote, moved all files from the ZIP folder to the 3 destinations and then copied reg files and pasted it on HKLM ( thats the way i could)

tried soft-rest nothing happened

then changed the values on the HKLM as u wrote above in ur post but after several tries could not find SIM switcher as option in todays menu

Dont know where i m going wrong,

Will try again 2mrw, otherwise hard reset?

Bye
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
That reg file don't seem to like working, try this one.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jatt:
@hollinshead

Thanks a lot buddy,

Its working all right for me now.

Unfortunately, it does not recognise T-mobile sim, i tried it alone in my Exec but says missing sim, god knows why?

I noticed a problem, if u switch between sim cards using the sim card switcher it keeps showing that the sim is registering..... although the sim is up and ready?, Will this eat up battery?

However, it shows correct information if u soft reset ur phone or switch between sims through flight mode, it works more of a Current sim info utility for me rather than switcher cos it keeps on saying registering for ages...

Sorry troubling u a lot

Jatt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
Personally I think it still needs a hell of a lot of bugs working out, its beyond me how they expect people to buy it!

It doesn't even recognise T-Mobile SIM cards!

Hello

Finally i shall be getting a new H3G sim. they asked for it to be tested in a proper '3' branded phone before they would even consider replacing the sim and for good measure i told them that my friends 3 sim works in mine and re-itterated faulty sim. so they gave in and are sending me new sim, only problem 3 - 5 days!

A tip DO NOT THROW THE BITS OF THE SIM CARD AWAY AS THEY ASKED ME FOR MY SIM NUMBER, LUCKILY I HADNT EMPTIED MY LITTLE BIN AND WAS EASY TO FIND!!

thanks

will try again in a few days and will post result!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jatt:
Hi

For all those who are scare/ worried about trimming their sims, here are few important points which will ease off some of ur anxiety.

First, Please divert all ur incoming calls of the sim u r about to cut to any of ur another mobile number, the sim of which u wont be trimming (of course it will use up ur mins if u recieve incoming calls on ur other mobile)

Then

From my experience with trimming sims (9 in total), i would recommend marking the golden metal part with pen /pencil as per the sticker and then rather than cutting it from there, cut out the golden metal part in full first and keep trimming slowly from both sides to reach desired size, check the final version in sim card adopter to know whether its working alone in ur mobile before u try it in dual sim card holder. Try ur dual sim in any other mobile first before trying in Exec cos u will know for sure that it was working b4 u say its not working in Exec.

Please post if anybody else has other ideas and experiences to help others who are worried about cutting their sims

I m so happy that i dont carry two phones anymore!

Hello again

Got my sim card from H3G finally after 2 weeks, but decided to wait a week before trying again.

was getting bored so took the plunge 10 mins ago and...

SUCCESS!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

I now have an EXEC with the ghost dual sim holder and 2 sims installed

Orange and H3G.

I took Jatt's advice and used my template to create a mark in pen and then took the scissors and cut round the metal first before using a knife to trim to size.

So i can confirm that GHost dual sim with Orange and H3G in an EXEC is a success!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] remixme:
Cutting these sims is a real pain.

Is it just my vodafone UK sim or does the template get you to cut in the wrong place.

The sim card seems to have three layers:

Layer 1: Metal contacts

Layer 2: Plastic with the IC embedded; these first two layers are inseperable.

Layer 3: Plastic cover with provided logo; removeable with a sharp knife.

Heres the story, I cut my sim exactly according to the template, by first lining the template up with two lines on the sim card as instructed. It indicates that you need to cut through some of the metal contact layer, but even the first cut I took which was outside the radius of the template; i looked at the edge to see black. I must have cut through the IC packaging as well. Needless to say the thing doesn't work.

So with my T-Mobile sim card I looked at the plastic cover layer under strong light so I could try and make out the outline of the IC, that also seems to extend beyond the template as well. So theres no way I'm cutting that!

Has anyone else had this experience where the IC's seem to big for the template? (I dont just mean the metal contacts)

One sim is 6 months old, other is 18 months old
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
I've done 2 of these now, and both times I just cut them with the supplied templates.

I've done a T-Mobile, O2, H3G and Vodafone, all without a problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] remixme:
Well I've ordered a couple of orange sims, so I can test this out on those.

Just one question for those who have cut these succesfully, are any of the edges of the cut sims black or are they just white plastic?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
Hello again,

Finally, with thanks to Hollinshead for the registry tip and i have finally managed to get the Wivit software to work without any problems.

It switches between H3G and Orange without any problems whatsoever and changeover time is quick compared to manually turning flight mode on and off etc.

So can confirm that all works perfectly well. Now just need to purchase the liscence!!

thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hoss:
Right I have that working (Ghost dual sim).

Wivit says that both of my SIMs are missing (Swisscom, Sunrise) but it works anyway.

As someone said before, how they expect us to pay for that s/w in that state is unbelievable.

Next goal would be a Dual sim which lets me receive call on both numbers at the same time.

Anyone know if that is feasible? (or is that only possible on the old V1 sims?)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hb328_dtdd:
is everyone here using the same dual sim from simbirley? the one costing £15 (I think that was the price) ?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] edsub:
I read a couple of times people are compalining on the WiViT SIM Status Switcher on WM5 devices (Universal / Wizard)

I hope you all read SSS (still) is

not approved for WM5

. Its only WM2003 compatible.

Only thing that might make it work is to ask the developer (he also surfs this forum) to make it WM5 compatible.

Complaining here wont do the trick.

I found this piece of s/w VERY good in practice, but I am running WM2003 offcourse.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
Re: Help - N00b here...

Hi there,

1) Just download the cab file i created above and that contains all the files and registry entries you need for the software to work on Universals. Yes Edsub is correct in saying that it is not WM2005 approved but IT WORKS so i am using it, (and as a bonus the 15 days trial doesnt run out, well not yet on mine) :D

2) answered in part 1

3) Hoss gave us an ebay shop id i visited his ebay shop and the price is perfect, I paid £15 for that item myself and he is selling through ebay for £3.99 plus i think £1.50 P&P and it is the same thing so i recommend get it through ebay.

Hope it helps
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skoop99:
Hmmm... Got my Ghost Dual SIM adapter... My SIMs seem to be too big, tho? Both my Orange 2g and my Hutchinson 3g SIM fall well outside of the template sizes? Do I have to cut the metal bits as well? A bit reluctant to do that, y'know... :-S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
Cut the sims very carefully.

use the template and the metal bits will get cut a little bit but once you have cut the sims they will fit properly within the single sim. and you then put the metal cover over the 'circuit' sized sim.

just have a read through some of the earlier posts on tips to cut the sims, as i did mess up my H3G sim. and do it carefully.

Guarantee that they will work, coz i am using Orange and H3G with WiVit software.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] allegro16:
Hi,

Any idea of an WM5 update of Wivit Sim Status Switcher?

I installed the cab found here, but had to alter the registry to reflect the Dutch ROM (had to change "Program Files" to "Programmabestanden")

Would be great if someone could create a cab working on a Dutch WM5..

However, possibly due to the STK on the dual sim (cut version) i can't switch operators with it..

And the STK option is gone too (even after (soft) reset)

So, a WM5/STK compatible version would be nice..

It seems like just the tooli need.. However, don't get any response from Wivit..

If someone knows how to get it to work or could alter the cab that would be great..

Thanks,

Allegro16
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] weasel:
Forgive the probable idiocy of this question but....

Will the Ghost dual SIM adapter work with a mixture of 2G & 3G SIMS? I have an O2 2G SIM and an O2 3G SIM and would like to use both in my new toy. I previously had 2x O2 2G SIMs in my QTEK 9090, but now I've upgraded to the O2 Exec, I'd like to continue having 2 SIMs on one phone. I've asked my employer if I can swap my 2G SIM for a 3G one, but no deal; so I'm stuck with 1x2G plus 1x3G SIM.

Thanks in advance

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Cods:
Even more likely to be a dumb question, however, can anyone confirm that this (the cut-and-place-in-dual-adapter method) works with just 2G SIMs? I assume that it does, if it works OK with 3G SIMs, but it's worth asking.

Anyone in Australia tried this? The SIMs I'd be using are an Optus SIM and a Telstra SIM.

Cheers,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Cods:
On a different tack, it seems that both my Optus & Telstra SIMs are potentially NOT the incompatible "COMP128v2" SIMs (see http://www.nowgsm.com/supersim.htm) and may be the "A3A8 COMP128V1 SIM" that the page mentions as compatible. This is based only on a simple check of how many phone book entries are available (in both cases, 250 only).

Soooo, has anyone with a Universal had any luck with using any of the Lots-in-1 SIMs, such as the supposedly "SIMMAX" 12-in-1 SIM, listed here http://mobile.brando.com.hk/SIMMAX12in1.php by Brando in Hong Kong?

This may be one of the few times that slower uptake of newer tech by Australian telcos may be in my favour. Or perhaps I'm just a tad optimistic.

Again, would be great to hear from anyone in Australia who has had luck with using either the Lots-In-1 or the Cut-The-Gold-Bits methods with the Universal.

Cheers,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
no problem in using 2g or 3g sims in the twin sim adaptor that you cut and paste. i am using 2 lots of 3g at the moment and for testing i did use a 2g sim aswell and it worked fine. thanks

I just received my Ghost dual SIM adapter and have eventually managed to get it to work :D :D :D

I ahd two problems - leavingthe sticky tape over the SIM after cutting :oops: and then I had to swap the SIMs around in the adapter in order to get the 2G & 3G recognized - otheriwse I got a good 3G SIM and no 2G.

So it all works fine now; I just need to install WIVIT

Re: Sim Switcher CAB

It sounds like the phone aborted the installation hence why you cannot find it in the menus.

can you check if you have a folder in PROGRAM FILES called SIM STATUS SWITCHER, in the Windows folder you should have Wivit files aswell. if you havent then you will need to try and re-install the app.

thanks

Re: Sim Switcher CAB

Solved.

Using TRE registry Editor I've found the root

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\SIM Status Switcher

changed DLL value from Program Files/Sim Status Switcher/WivSSS.dll to Programmi/Sim Status Switcher/WivSSS.dll ('cause I'm running ITA OS)

Working smooth after tick SIM Status Switcher in Start > Settings > Today > Items.

Thanks very much
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Snith:
I've succesfully installed the cab file and then I changed the path to the DLL in the registry to 'Programmabestanden' as I have a Dutch rom. I see Wivit on the today screen but it says 'Waiting for signal'. Is this because I just have one sim in my phone and I'm not using a dual sim adapter? On the Wivit site they say that it even works without.

I'm using a Vodafone sim.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
sometimes you will get that message. this files are a little temperamental as they have not been designed for WM5 just yet.

i personally find on my universal it works most of the time and sometimes 'waiting for signal' is displayed but that doesnt stop it from working properly.

as soon as the official WM5 is released i believe these issues will be resolved.

thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] weasel:
I find that the Wivit software regulalry gets "stuck" displaying the message "registering..." Doesn't stop the phone working though. Also I often get "Invalid SIM" with my 2G SIM (3G is ok). Again, the phone works correctly etc, so I think these two issues are minor bugs rather than real problems because the SIMs switch fine and the phones work 100%
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mynarrowboat:
Sorry - just wanted to tripple check - the vodafone 3g PAYT chip, that looks so much bigger than the template is ok to cut to size for the ghost dual sim?

My Orange SIM will be fine, and I have a new O2 3G chip on its way.

Google throws up a lot of other cards that say "Not suitable for 3G sims", but you guys seem to have been ok. I got my dual sim from ebay, as recommended on this post...."Mommy, I'm scared!"

does anybody have informations about an alternative sim status switcher software that works with most commonly used SIMs and WM5?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ZenithUK:
Since O2 brought out the latest ROM upgrade (1.30.162) there is a program on the Today screen that shows you the operator name, your wifi and your bluetooth status. It is much better than the SIM Switcher program as it actually reports the operator correctly now.

Question

I am interested in buying this case but I don't like cases that stick to my pocket while pulling them out. Does this matte case have any problems?

I notice that there is a line/indentation around the back of the case - does this trap dirt/lint? I am wondering why they placed it there in the first place.

Thanks.
[G2 Accessories] Semantics:
It goes in and out of my jeans pockets with no issues. If you wear skinny jeans, then I can't help you. :D It is remarkable to me how little dirt/lint stick to this thing. It is made of hard but flexible rubber, I haven't found anything sticking to it. Keep in mind, its a barely bigger than the phone and it does push up my screen protector in the lower left hand corner. My Spigen case didn't do that, but it made the phone feel huge to me.
[G2 Accessories] ainstushar:
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. What kind of screen protector do you have? I have purchased Invisible Defender (screen protector) and diztronic case. Hopefully they wont cause huge problems.

Thank you.
