[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] t-shock:
I would probably have to drop my second sim card....

OP6 seems like an OK option but no VoWiFi (which is important in my area) and no IP rating (I'm clumsy so.....)

Also I had bad experience with thier customer support with my OP3, so it's a no-no from me
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlexanderKgr:
also no wireless charging...I don't use cables anymore. Every night before go to bed i place the phone on the charger...!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] rockykv2:
i also have the same issue i am trying to downgrade so at least my memory card can work along with 2 sim cards
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] t-shock:
True that

Although I dont have many wireless chargers, is very useful nonetheless
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlexanderKgr:
downgrading works as usual but is not an option
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] rockykv2:
then what should we do i brought the s9 plus 64 gb that i can use memory card & 2 sim card if that doesnt work then the phone is not worth as i am in sales having two number is very imp for me....
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
I'm an expatriate and needs my home sim card + my local sim card. Plain and simple.

Please note that this was working perfectly prior to BRF8, they just added a check to prevent the use of 2 sim + a microSD although the phone totally handles it...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ir0n_guy:
I'm also facing the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Jluisserrao:
Same problem here, any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] corwin_amber:
Well, write to Samsung support. Every single one of you. Threaten to give it back, since it was working fine before and is not anymore. Only one way to get this handled - have Samsung revert the change, I think. Wishful thinking, I know, but what else can you do (especially wothout root)? If disabling packages does not help...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] silegeek:
Ah OK. I notice that you put S9+ DUO in your first post is that significant? Its not something I've heard of unless it related to a dual sim model, in which case they shouldnt have blocked anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
Of course it's significant: it's the variant that supports 2 SIM cards.

Yes, they shouldn't have blocked anything. And it's without notice or any information in the changelog (which is already a joke as the famous "optimized performance and bug fixes" on google play store).

I opened a topic on samsung members + asked a direct question/bug report to support.

https://community.samsungmembers.com/en_AE#/post?postId=338519&categoryId=491&page=1

Would be good as suggested to inform Samsung directly although I don't really have hopes...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] corwin_amber:
That is a good step forward. Please like and comment the thread linked above. Please stay constructive :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] badaru1:
Another alternative is to root the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
I don't want to trip know yet.

Thanks to all who participated on the samsung member forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] rockykv2:
Hope we can find some solution for this..

Final I will downgrade tommrow the software and give you guys a update...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlexanderKgr:
With downgrade no problem. It works
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] rockykv2:
Is there any way without losing my data I can downgrade pls guide me if possible
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlexanderKgr:
I have tried without full wipe and the begging everything was working. After 2 hours some apps fc. Full wipe I think is recommended for downgrading

This check makes sense, it ruins the waterproofing if the Sim tray is not sealed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] marujixs:
Moved from BRF8 TPH to BRF7 TCL .. portugal general to vodafone branded with security patch 06.2018. 2 sim hack is back to normal working with my 256gb card. Now checking volte

After the update the sound in the calls was horrrible. Lets see if it improves

For me, on earth, it's to separate/differenciate my pro and personal life that works great that way.:svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] corwin_amber:
Well, then they could always make it an optional advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Jluisserrao:
Guys, any update without downgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
Not true. There is a way to completely seal the tray by melting the plastic of the nano sim. Then just glueing the SIM chip onto the microSD and you can fully close the tray (this is not what I use).

Of course with an extender as I use, it places wires pushing the joint. But that's not the subject.

If I want to use my device like this, I should be able to do so ! In any case, Samsung is protected since the IP68 certification is only under certains precise conditions.

The after sale service can ALWAYS say that we didn't respect depth or duration of immersion. What I mean is that even though I bring my phone stating that there was water ingress (lying about the extender), Samsung can refuse warranty stating that I went deeper or longer than the standards.

So this check is a non sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] silegeek:
Then my next question is, do you absolutely need to use an SD card? And have you tried removing that and just using two SIMS in the tray as intended and see if that works, if you haven't.

I'm the last person to question anyone's need for an SD Card, and the fact that we still have that option is great. But I have 128GB model s9 plus. The only reason I'm using an SD card us because I cannot be bothered to copy all of my mp3 files over to the phone. Otherwise I'd never fill up that much storage, its ridiculous. I'd struggle to fill even 64GB I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
I have 64gb variant and uses the SD card a lot yes (maybe too much needs but I was sold a phone with microSD support, I'm gonna use it).

Of course putting 1 SIM + microSD or 2 SIM only works, but then I'm losing on of the functionalities...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bdulber:
Only is you use an externally mounted sdcard. I modded my SIM and attached it to the sdcard. Its an even easier insert unlike in the Note 7 and S7 plus. Since S8 plus and now S9 plus the mod sits nice and secure inside.

---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

Use the phone with VR and see how fast that 128GB goes away. I also have 128GB S9+ and a 128GB SDcard plus 2 SIMs. We all use are devices differently so best to hear how users with those needs cope with what they have.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] silegeek:
I dont know anyone who uses their phone for that, so its not the first thing I think of, indeed VR is not something that is even on my radar of cares. AR is, but VR is just largely a gimmick to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlexanderKgr:
back to BRE5. in need of capacity! after restoring everything i had a notification to upgrade to brf8....time to say goodbye to s9+. 64gb is nothing!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] obi-lan:
Dang, just bought phone and was just planning to glue sim and sd card togheter. Oh well I can survive with 64Gb internal storage
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bdulber:
Samsung Concierge via Samsung members replied to my request regarding the matter. They do not recommend the "hack" and stated it could void my warranty apart from the usual yadda-yadda. So they aren't doing anything about it "officially". I understand that but why do something to it at all in the first place!? I can go on ranting but those in a similar situation get it. Let's wait for the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
Stupid answer as usual.

If I want to avoid my warranty it's my choice, not theirs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bdulber:
Unfortunately, that's the best the concierge person could do apart from elevating the request to next level. Now looking for actual Samsung supported enthusiast channels - if there is one. Or they should employ XDA enthusiasts instead and grow their business exponentially.;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dr.ketan:
Samsung have made it intentionally and this may remain like this only, Anyway I have fixed it for my ROM on latest version too but unfortunately this require to fix every time with new base. I mean no joy for non rooted stock lovers ! :(

Could you please tell us what is the tweak in this ROM so that we know how to replicate for S9 ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlexanderKgr:
any news?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dr.ketan:
You need to patch framework and not app, if you need I can patch same for S9+ but that's temporary solution because you need it everytime with new firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] AlexanderKgr:
It needs to be routed?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dr.ketan:
Of course. Whenever something need to patch in system, it needs root.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
You mean framework.jar ?

Is it as easy as pinpointing a line in a file to edit/remove ? If yes, you can give tell us which file is responsible and then we can edit it again in new firmwares so we don't have to ask you everytime.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] asertori:
It is posible trough ADB comands?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dr.ketan:
Its services.jar and look for these file StorageManagerService.smali (and few related to it) for changes and revert like previous firmware

Edit : For reference, here attached files from old firmware, replaced newer with these

If you mean only adb command without changing system files then NO
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiliarou:
Thanks a lot !

Downloading latest BRF8 XSG now but takes times at 500kb/s...

Going through the smali storage manager you sent from previous FW, it's much more hardcoded in the system than I expected...

Not missing the other SIM while staying in country. Missing data on the old card definitely. Sigh and it looks like theres no official positive reply from Samsung.

There is 99% chances that we won't ever see a "fix". Samsung is considering this as a normal check.

Don't expect any official solution.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Davey Dual Sim:
This is simple for me, so I don't have to carry 2 phones.

I do about 5 hours work on a phone a day, being a field manager, so having a good phone is vital and luckily my employer allows me to to chose my own phone on their contract.

Simpy no point carrying two S9s is there?

Dual SIM perfect for me
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] wuub:
The easiest option seems to be to use.a rooted ROM (like soldier's) which integrates the hack.

Sadly, I switched from wonderful rooted S8 to the S9 for the dual SIM and because I need Knox for work.

I don't understand why Samsung bothered with this.

It's not for the 0.00001% of people who uses this "hack" that they lose money on cloud storage for example. It might cost them a lot more by losing customers who will go for other Chinese brands.

Bad move Sammy. Very bad move.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tyrone1:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] joluke:
The only way is to use a custom rom with duos + sdcard patched services.jar

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tommyvercaty:
Hello, thanks for the reply. Actually using a custom ROM or rooting the device is the last option for me as I need Knox for work. Someone has even released an xposed tweak for modding the services.jar on the stock rooted ROM.

Is there a way out without root? Since my work is involved, I'll probably change my device than rooting my current one.

Sorry, not related to the subject, but does anyone know a way to convert a dual sim galaxy s9+ to single sim?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] wuub:
... By only putting one SIM inside, no?

Troll a part, what do you mean?

Because it's a hardware matter and it's just that one can do 2 things whereas the other can only do one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] crossdeath:
I see what you mean :P

But i want to get rid of the SIM1 icons throughout the UI, for example the icons for vowifi and volte have a little number 1 next to them (indicating sim1), the send message button also has a tiny sim1 card next to it, etc. I hate that and want to get rid of it. Maybe by flashing a specific FW or something?

Hi, i updated my moto g4 play (xt1602) to the android update in india. Unfortunately it is in bootloop and wont start to lock screen. Oem is locked and usb debugging is disabled. developed options also not enabled. i used LMSA (Lenovo moto smart assistant) to recover it by flashing original firmware but it is still in bootloop. i have searched on google and forums and found that due to these i.e.(Oem is locked and usb debugging is disabled) i cannot flash any recovery and cannot install any rom through fastboot. Also "

adb devices

" command does not recognise but "

fastboot devices

" command shows serial number of my device. i also got oem unlock code from moto website but it said remote failed for "

oem unlock

" command in fastboot.

(Also i was wondering is there any way that i can edit oem.img and bootloader.img file in official firmware that LMSA downloads and flashes in the device and can that unlock the oem and bootloader )

Is there any way to recover the device or is it bootloop bricked to eternity.

Note: i had my screen replaced and after that i did the update. can it be the issue. (i' ve kept the old broken screen module, can it help recover the device if it is connected.)
