Hi,

My dad got a Samsung S6 Edge Plus from Malaysia with model number SM-G9287C. It has double SIM.

The problem is it has only Asian languages + English :crying: but we need Turkish language, which may be done via root + language apps (requiring root).

Is it possible to achieve root on this telephone? I see there are roots offered for G928C but not for 9287C. Will they work? If yes, will they disable the second SIM?

Really appreciate any ideas and help here!

Thanks.

Does the Samsung galaxy s6 G9200 work in the UK

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] nfribeiro:
It works in Portugal. Yesterday I installed a custom rom on G9200 and i made some calls before given it to the onwer and it worked.
[Galaxy S6 General] flogger:
It works in Portugal because Portugal network providers operate in all bands.

In the uk won't work for Vodafone neither O2 as their only LTE band is not available in the 9200 model. You should get a 920FD that's the one I use in Portugal and UK
[Galaxy S6 General] aerobharath:
No no... Get 920fd... That's what I got and it works very well

Please help take a decision to Duos or not to Duos ??

Hi

I'm about to purchase the Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos ... but I've heard about issues with high end phones with dual sims .. heating, hanging,crashing , lagging , one of the sim doesn't work ... all kind of issues you can think of , then I've come across this huge thread ... I'm sure you have the answer I'm looking for .. unfortunately I don't have the luxury of time to read the whole thread ......and I really appreciate giving me the honest advice .. if I should get this phone or not ... I really need the dual sim function because I travel a lot ... my current phone is HTC desire 616 dual sim .. and I have never had a problem regarding the use of two sims .. yes I may buy a power bank ..because battery consumption is increased .. I can understand that ..

Thanks a lot in advance

Your advice is greatly appreciated

Have you rooted it mate?

You can go for it, it usually works well. I have had only one major issue but can be limited to my handset, where in 3G stops working after sometime and i have to toggle my Mobile data to make it work.
[Galaxy S6 General] haklija:
hi guys, i need help! I use s6 G920FD (duos) and I have a problem with one of the sim card signal. Primary sim card is set on LTE, the other one on edge by default. When someone try to reach me on sim2 very often I am unreachable (like I turned my phone off). When I switch cards in slots, I still have the same problem. Any ideas? To me it looked like I have problem with sim card, I replaced old one with my Carrier, but the problem is still there. Could it be software issue? Should I maybe revert rom to 5.0.2? Right now phone is on official 5.1.1.
[Galaxy S6 General] khaled_abobakr:
Did you have this problem from day one on the stock firmware ??

Hi

I'm about to buy the same phone .. Galaxy S6 Duos ... SM-G920FD... I really need dual sim phone ... but you and the other gent just mentioned issues that make me worry more ...

I don't intend to root or change the stock firmware that comes with it, all I need is reliable 2 SIM phone ... with good GPS performance ...... I don't really care about 4G .... I use 3G/2G for mobile data and phone calls ....

Any advice is greatly appreciated

duos LTE?

I think mine is made in Vietnam, I love it no junk installed from ATT and T-mobile... also while many US users wait for Android 5.1, I was able to connect directly with Samsung and get it immediately :)

Only one down side I think the LTE is not working on T mobile... at least it only shows 4G....

Battery consumption fine, after I disable gmail sync which took lot of power, the battery holds pretty good :)

Maybe because no other junk from the operator installed? :cowboy:
[Galaxy S6 General] scampstom:
I´m using a G9200 for a while now. After all the phone is still the best I tried - and I tried a lot of different Dual-Sim phones. Battery is good as long as you are not a gamer and as long as you disable all unnecessary services and reduce display brightness. Email accounts with push services and the display are the most criticle parts regarding battery life.

Everything else is just working very fine with stock rom without bugs, throttling etc. The camera (though I have the Samsung unit in my G9200) is absolutely great in all conditions.

Dual-Sim is working very fine, though it is no dual sim dual active phone, but "only" dual standby.

So i heard that the sm-g920f and sm-g920fd have the same firmware does this mean that u can root the device and install twrp using the same files and does this mean that the roms that are compatible with the sm-g920f are also compatible with the sm-g920fd and thanks in advance

Hi, congratulations on your new phone.

Disable wifi scanning in MORE wifi settings.

Disable sync

Enable manual refresh on apps like Facebook and Twitter if you use them... Finally wait for marshmallow update as it will have DOZE feature.

Good luck :)

Thanks I did so ... hopefully it will make a difference ... :)
[Galaxy S6 General] ChemicalBrother:
Hi there, 920FD here.

First thing I did was updating the device to 5.1.1 through OTA. Then I rooted flashing Unikernel and TWRP. (Yes, I tripped KNOX, as I dont care for samsung pay nor the encripited security. But I do use the fingerprint scanner, so the "engineering bootloader" method was a no go for me.) Then changed the whole firmware, installed WETA ROM, and even updated boatloader and modem with the latest available for the 920F. (I made a backup before doing all this, just in case...)

Had no problems at all. Only thing I noticed, is that in some ROMS, which are super-debloated or have an AROMA option for taking the debloating script even further, made the "SIM MANAGER" disappeared in the -settings-. I really don't know under which name this specific "settings option" stands for in the system. But I know for sure, that is the only reason some ROMS let me enter the "SIM manager" settings, and therefore letting me select which SIM I want to use for DATA.

So, just FYI: Flashing a 920F ROM, causes no issues, even when they "dont support dual sim". Flashing a 920F Kernel, causes no issues. And even flashing a 920F bootloader+modem through ODIN, causes no issues.

As far as I'm concerned, only ROMs with this "super-debloat script" which indeed DELETE this "SIM MANAGER" option, under settings, are the only ones that I can't use, since I don't get LTE/3G/2G simply because I can't choose which SIM to use for the signal.

For example:

* WanamROM: Only supports 920F, doesn't offer "dual sim support", has Wanams "Adam Kernel" integrated within the ROM which also is "only for 920F", and everything works as intended just because the ROM has a minimal debloat. He didnt remove any system apps or services that would interfere or remove an utility option from the -settings- (except for KNOX, which is totally removed from the system).

*WetaROM: Best example, ROM also "does not support dual sim", but it has an AROMA installer, which let you decide if you want to keep the debloating minimal or take it further with a "super-debloating" option. Installing the ROM without choosing the "super-debloating" = Every thing works, "SIM MANAGER" is there, under settings as It should. Installing the ROM WITH the "super-debloating" = SIM MANAGER IS NOT THERE ANYMORE, it just disappears in the settings and you have no signal whatsoever.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S6 General] merza kheder:
So u don't get signal on any of the sims or just one of them
[Galaxy S6 General] gmlogan:
I am using Weta 8.5 with dual sim, someplace there is a post on how to restore dual sim to any stock ROM.

I followed that, it worked and used ZIPme package the changes to a flashable, zip.

Flashed this on several different ROMs that did not have dual support, so far always works :+)

Did similar for exchange bypass, will search for the article again

[Galaxy S6 General] merza kheder:
Battery life on the lg g4 is horrible the s6 is ok i can get about 5h SOT but im not using lte or a second sim i dont know about the battery life on the one me but if i was u i wouldn't get the one me cuz its a mediatek devices and mediatek devices don't get alot of updates hey idk maybe htc is gonna do something different with the me but all of them are great
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
HTC used MTK not recommended. I will pick G4 because battery switchable for virtually unlimited extra battery life. Single to Single battery race, S6 is better. I like S6 because I don't like big phone(and S6 is already big to me).

S6 Single vs Duos

Can someone please tell me about the interface differences in the single and the dual sim versions of S6?

Does the duos version irritate a lot by always prompting for sim selection on call or sms?

Also, can you use it exactly the same way as the single sim version when only one sim is inserted with no prompts for sim selection at all?

Thanking you guys in advance!
[Galaxy S6 General] aerobharath:
These are the extra things you will find in the dual sim variant.... There is a dedicated sim card manager... Hope this helps...

Yes it looks same as the single sim. In fact I only use 1 sim at time.
[Galaxy S6 General] mjunaidit:
Awedome! I am unable to get my hand on at the single sim version for some reason in our market but duos is widely available. I was not sure how would the interface look but your reply has just saved me some wait. Cant express my thanks in words :)
[Galaxy S6 General] jaswinky:
No differences except a second coberture icon on notification bar.

No sim selection prompts if you don't want it, you can set how ever you want: allways prompt, sim 1 or sim 2 for voice call, and sim1 or sim 2 for each sms and mobile data. You can easily switch between sims for voice call on notification bar, and you can set one home screen wallpaper for each sim selection so it is easy to see from home screen which sim are you going to call from (also a square around the respective coberture icon on notifidation bar will switch).

Hi

Now I face a very annoying issue with my Galaxy S6 Duos ... for some reason .. I need to very frequently turn off then turn on the mobile data connection in order for the google maps to work (load the history , or generate a route ) or whatsapp to send a message ...

I don't have the dual sim always on feature enabled ... I left it as is ...

I really appreciate your help to solve this issue ... It's becoming very annoying and I can't drive without navigation from my phone .. because I travel a lot ...

Thanks a lot

Hi

I haven't tried swapping the sims ... but (main sim ) sim2 is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect ) , and sim 1 is set to GSM only ...

Does it make a difference in which sot I put the sim that is using mobile data ??? .. in this case data sim is in sim 2 slot

I use sim 2 as my main sim for everything ... phone calls , and mobile data ... and sim 1 for roaming to receive phone calls , msgs,

Mobile data status icon missing

Hi!

I got my S6 duos yesterday and I'm very happy with the phone. There is just one bug that is really annoying me: When WiFi is off mobile data is working fine but there is no status icon in the notification bar. So I never know if I'm on Edge, 3G or 4G.

Is this a dual SIM bug? Does anybody else of you have this problem?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] jocaferlo:
I had same problem with my G920FD after I flashed XtreStoLite ROM, I don't know if that happened also with sotck rom because I have inserted both sims with XtroStoLite flashed.

Hi

Can anyone help me please?

how much is s6 duos 32GB (g920fd 32GB) weight? (in grams) with or without glass(without is prefered)?

i bought an used one and is not 138 grams. is it fake or g920f is 138g and g920fd is more?
[Galaxy S6 General] kinghu:
Should be 138g.

How about trying benchmarks? Geek bench should be around 1,450 / 4,800 and antutu around 69,000.

And you could look at AIDA64 or CPU-Z to get hardware info.
[Galaxy S6 General] Babak TechCom:
Thanks. Do you have g920fd and its 138g?

Benchmarks are correct

I just worry about its hardwares like display

Display is yellowish in basic mode.

‫Can anyone do me a favor and weight g920fd 32gb?
[Galaxy S6 General] kinghu:
I have the 920FD but can't weigh it that accurately. I have also had two previous S6 single sim models. All were yellowy in basic mode so that's to be expected.

I prefer adaptable in the day and switch to basic at night as it's easier on the eyes.

TBH it sounds like yours is legit. If the resolution looks great then I'd stop worrying. .. usually benchmarks can be a good sign of fakery along with a low resolution display.

I guess you could always flash a factory ROM. It's unlikely is flash on a fake and won't trip knox if it's a stock ROM. Or how about connecting it to Kies or whatever is called now on a computer and doing a restore that way (it will flag up as fake and not do it).
[Galaxy S6 General] Babak TechCom:
Thanks

I know this is not fake.

When i am looking at screen from an angle in adaptable mode in white pages at low angle it has slight red and in about 45 degrees and more its become bluish

Is it normal?

And I'm still looking for anyone can weight g920fd 32gb in grams???

Your own risk

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387/post63223851
[Galaxy S6 General] jaswinky:
That man is wrong. If he and you look at sammobile or where ever you want for a specific firmware for g920FD, you will NOT find anyone. This is because g920FD firmware is embebed on g920F code. Once installed, if the code detects dual sim hardware (g920fd), it will enable some extra duos features as extra menu settings, extra notification icons, different wallpapers for each sim selection, etc; if it detects single sim g920f, it will disable these features. That's all.

Pls how is the battery life of this s6 dual. That's the only reason i have not gotten this phone. I need your advice guys.
[Galaxy S6 General] JJZZ11:
Maybe blunt but would it be possible to replace my G9208ZMU1AOD5 (from mainland) with G9208ZTU1AOD9? Or would that either corrupt my mobile / Odin would refuse to do so? I'm rather desperate to get my Playstore back :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Ultimatum99:
I am in a similar situation. I have G9200ZCU1AOD9 with China Unicom and I can't use this phone without the Play Store and other Google Apps.

If what wanjieming has posted is true, then I guess it would be feasible to flash G9200ZHU1AOD3, as I understand this is the HK dual-sim firmware and 4G seems to be working for him with China Unicom.

I am unsure whether is there any drawback or risk. Can anyone shed some light on whether or not this would be feasible?
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
From what I've been known, the HK G9200 has little different in LTE baseband with China G9200 though they shared the same model number and their firmwares aren't totally compatible too.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ultimatum99:
I think the Chinese phone has more LTE basebands but as long as 4G works I am happy with that.

Any known implications of flashing the HK firmware on the Chinese model?
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I think G9208 is Taiwan ver ...... not mainland
[Galaxy S6 General] JJZZ11:
TheEndHK I'm aware of that. But the mainland version which firmware id is pretty similar to Taiwan lacks the Playstore while the Taiwan version (I suppose) doesn't. So for me even if it isn't an upgrade, it would still be a huge improvement over the mainland version.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
Some guys tested you can't flash stock China firmware to HK model while no one tested to flash HK firmware on China model so I can't tell but I think it won't work. Flash excluded the baseband might work but I'm not sure.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ultimatum99:
Do you have the source? What exactly happened?
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I've read that on a China forum but lazy to find the source again....
[Galaxy S6 General] JJZZ11:
I don't mind giving it a try though would it be safe? I rather not brick a mobile over such ...

But if with Odin I can simply push a different firmware and if corrupt, push the old stock firmware then I'm more then happy to give it a spin.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ultimatum99:
I just tried to flash G9200ZHU1AOD3 on my Chinese M9200 (G9200ZCU1AOD9) and failed with the result as attached.

I have already tried ticking "USB debugging" and unticking "Verify apps via USB".

Any advice? I really need Google Apps!
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I think you have no way but root the phone to install GApps. That's why there are lots of China Mainland people come to HK everyday and buy phones for GApps.
[Galaxy S6 General] JJZZ11:
The problem for rooting seems that sofar the support isn't out there for the Chinese models on English websites. I've seen some Chinese websites who talk about it but fortunately like myself I'm to limited in it.
