[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Kiwyxda:
Well, what I can I tell,

this phone has the greatest size factor in my opinion, the screen is fantastic, the proc is good the phone quality is OK, it works great even with game, well all the things you can read in bad quality test.

Now here's some fact you will not read in most review and not event mentionned on the samsung official specs or user manual:

This phone does have 2 stand by sim card support active sim card support , which mean you can you can receive call on the 2 sim card but if one sim is on call the other one will end directly to voicemail,

There's a feature to walk around this behaviour, that allow you to use call forward from one sim to the other but depending on your provider this can cost you a lot but it's possible and very nice.

The dual sim features for people who tasted to the simplicity of "the sheap almost AOSP dual sim chineese phones" like the Wiko Cink Peax in France or the Micromax in India , is terrifyingly complicated,

I still don't find a way to allow sms sending from one sim only, I can't find a way to automatically switch from one card to another to use 3G, you need to step at least 3 step for this:

- first go into the dual sim menu and change the data provider

- second goes into the network settings of the old 3G sim card provider and switch it to 2G only

- third goes into the network settings of the new 3G sim card provider and switch it to auto (2G/3G) mode

Compare this to the simplicity of a cheap chineese phone where you only select the 3G card and everythings goes smooth... it bother me so much.

This phone on the lastest version come with most anoying security issue I ever faced, Samsung Knox (a sort of virtual context app you can find plenty of information about that f**** protection which can be great in company context and so annoying in a power user context.

Well to conclude this and I'm on a stock samsung version and I test several before installing one with knox and not being able to change anymore:

THE SECOND SIM CARD SLOT DOES NOT WORK IN HSDPA MODE BUT IN GPRS SOMETHING BETWEEN GPRS AND UMTS MODE ONLY (though the phone show a small H next to the network signal and not a G) I do not succed in having more than 140 kB/s and most of the time 40kB/s only) on that second slot. If I invert the 2 sims I endup with a more reasonnable 700kB/s

I wish I found someone to say that on a forum post before I buy that expensive useless dual sim phone, yes the GPS is working so much better than a Mediatek based phone but god damn it, how can a dual sim phone can't support real 3G on both slots.

Now with that in mind be carefull before buying this phone and consider seriously its cheap chineese competitors with a poor GPS ship but with a so much better easier and efficients settings. I now really considering to sell mine and get something that will work as a real dual sim phone and that I can root without loosing my warranty ( even if as a european I think this issue is not a real one).

Happy new year XDA power user !

PSOne: if you have found any solution to the issue I issued please let me know, and if you find my post usefull please it thanks ;)

Edit 1: It seems that it's almost impossible to share connection in tethering (any mode) when using the 3g from the second sim

/!\ Seriously opinion based: I do not except any answer about that part of the post/!\

PS2: If you're an android simple user in my opinion Samsung Android TouchWizz is the most complicated rom you could ever find.

PS3: I used to hate Samsung for there volounteer to become the Android Apple equivalent but though I give it a try, this is the first and last try. They made complicated software Android does not look like Android and everything is complicated and the bloatwares are everywhere.
