[Redmi Note 10S] stuntdouble:
Certainly sounds like a manufacturing error, with a machine just not stamping out the plastic part properly. The second sim slot should work out of the box saying "unknown" or "not available" (if using in English) in Android phone settings. You could contact Xiaomi to see if they'd send out a functional sim tray, or you could cut a section out yourself, it is very flimsy plastic though.
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
you'd think that it was a manufacturing error except we got 2x of the same phones and the second IMEI on the box of each phone has a blank sticker pasted over it by the service provider we bought it from as well. (Vodacom) I tried cutting my own but I'm not getting much success in that regard.. I am very confused honestly. Very happy with the phone, was just looking forward to putting both my numbers in the same phone :(

(IMEI is still shown by the sticker on the back of the phone though since they did not break the factory seals it seems)
[Redmi Note 10S] stuntdouble:
Sounds like this 'Vodacom' carrier might have some deal with Xiaomi to limit customers to their network. I don't know which country you're in and I doubt this is the case here but according to Xiaomi there are plenty of clones of their products circulating, or so they claim, so there's also a possibililty it might not be a genuine device.

The note 10s was advertised worldwide as having 2 sim slots so it shouldn't matter where it was purchased, but maybe you signed up to a service in your country that only allows one sim on their network, you'll have to re-read your t+c's you agreed to when you signed up.

I'd be surprised if it was locked down in the hardware though, which regional rom is your phone running?
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
I'm South African, and it does not seem to be carrier locked, only that the secondary sim slot isn't enabled I guess? I do believe the hardware is there since I do have 2x IMEI numbers on the back of the phone, why would they do that if the hardware wasn't installed? where would the secondary IMEI come from otherwise? Where can I find a rom that might "bypass" this if I might need to flash a (in samsung terms) modem that circumvents this?

I'm loving the phone, but I really needed the dual sim functionality and it was one of the main reasons we took the phone in the first place since everywhere we checked it was advertised as a dual sim, however vodacom does not list anything other than space, ram and camera quality.

I do believe it is a legit xiaomi since I would notice if it was not in terms of GPU and software. everything looks legit and the phone is better than my old Samsung galaxy S9 in terms of graphics (gaming FPS etc.) etc.

Battery is the most amazing I've had, camera is 64mp as advertised, 6gb ram 128gb storage, phone is fast. MIUI 12.5.1. Charges super fast. great charger. I love the "click" when plugging in a charger, it is so satisfying vs how flimsy it felt on my samsung galaxy S9
[Redmi Note 10S] heinhuiz:
Why don't you buy a spare sim card tray on AliExpress or somewhere else and try for yourself?
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
because shipping to and from south africa is a problem atm most of the vendors on ali express charge over $100 just for shipping now. Where I used to get free shipping. also I did cut the tray open and attempted to insert a simcard with no luck. There is a vodacom app etc installed on the phone so not sure if they locked the slot on a software level. but if I do get my hands on a tray that isn't selfcut I will try it as well, but no luck so far.
[Redmi Note 10S] stuntdouble:
I wasn't saying it couldn't be functional. It would cost a network provider money to make those kinds of changes so they probably wouldn't go to such effort, although they clearly spent something to have a different sim tray in your model. Your best bet is to buy a sim card slot tray as heinhuiz suggested above if you can't get your sim lined up in a diy tray to test it. You can find them on ebay/amazon, etc, too, I'd be surprised if you couldn't get hold of one somewhere without paying daft shipping fees to SA.
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
I'm just wondering if they couldn't do a disable of the secondary slot on a kernel level or something? I'll look around for a tray and hope to get one without a major shipping price.
[Redmi Note 10S] Mistress123:
You can get a replacement tray from mydailydeals.co.za I have ordered one it should be here in a week or 2
[Redmi Note 10S] Mistress123:
Meant to say R109 plus R95 shipping. I am also waiting to see if it works.
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
Thank you! will order one as soon as I can! would you mind sharing your findings with me if possible? I'm self employed in a small town with one stop street total :D so I gotta gather enough for emergency expenses and month end expenses before I gather spending money and month end is around the corner so I'll probably only buy next month since February was a little short so cutting things a little close. (sorry if I'm over explaining myself)

anyways I'll be taking a look this weekend if I get some time to try some software changing, maybe flashing a different Kernal or downloading a stock rom online and loading it instead of this RSA rom.

btw do apps on Xiaomi usually have adds? I find it a little odd that file manager and the security that pops up after you install something from the play store both have adds imbedded in them is this a world wide thing? I don't mind it the adds are super non intrusive or in my face at all but it is rather weird that stock applications have adds in them so if it means better cheaper phones then by all means. loving the phone for R199 a month and 175 worth of airtime, I'm basically paying for my xbox game pass Ultimate (R150) with the contract so in all fairness the phone is costing me (with 25 rand worth of airtime) like R50 a month?
[Redmi Note 10S] Mistress123:
I checked my Redmi note 8 tray and found it identical to the 10s . I tried 2 sims in the 10s . No luck the phone does not recognize the second sim. it looks like I might have wasted R200 Vodacom stated that they did not advertise as a dual sim tough luck to us was the impression I got.
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
yeah, I think it is software locked they don't advertise much of anything probably for this very reason. but what fascinates me is the fact that on the back of the phone, that sticker has 2x IMEI codes on them, the one being my simcard one IMEI so the second one should then be sim slot two, even on the box of the phone vodacom / ICASA just put a sticker over the second IMEI, but is on the box if you peel that off

welp gotta wait 168 hours before I can unlock my bootloader >_< but yes I do believe we have a custom version of the stock ROM since no one else has MIUI Global 12.5.1.0 (RKLZAVC)
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
I did it! I unlocked my bootloader and loaded one of the Global fastboot roms and I have access to sim slot 2! I now have a vodacom and MTN simcard in my phone without any issues!
[Redmi Note 10S] RandomGuy21:
Hi there. Pleese share more details on how you did this
[Redmi Note 10S] Cryptonite26:
1. Unlocked my phone bootloader with Miunlock (register an account if they prompt you to)

2. wait the cooldown period if there is one.

3. Download any FASTBOOT rom from the list here, if you click details you can choose between recovery rom or FASTBOOT rom, download the fastboot rom

4. Flash the rom onto phone from PC.

5. enjoy dual sim.

Hidden in a app folder?

Did you accidentally hide it?

Clear system cache.

Does it show in safe mode?

[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Think back to what happened before this occurred. Any new apps or unusual behavior?

Malware or spontaneous corruption is a possibility.

Factory reset if you give up trying to track it down or can't. Reflash stock rom if that fails.

didn't really do anything. must have been inadvertent. Opened up my phone to take a pic and the icon that used to be att the bottom of my home page was gone.

Hi,

I have an HTC Blueangel that my brother set a PIN lock to, now he cant remember it. I had previously reflshed it to WinMobile 6.0. I have tried reflashing but the user area must be seperate or something but that did not clear it, and the PIN prompt is always there.Any idea any one?

Thanks in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dark_prince:
dude, if u r referring to the PIN Code Lock problem, then seek help from your network service provider. Coz the PIN Code is only applied to your sim card. No fault in the handset :)

just contact your network provider to retrieve it back
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Phonedestructer:
1. Root your phone

2. Install "Franco Kernel Manager" from the Play Store

3. Open it

4. Click on the 3 bars in the bottom right corner

5. Click on Battery life tips

6. Click on Underclock there.

You can change by how much you wanna underclock it by clicking on the settings button in the box.

As far as i know it works with most kernels.

Does someone else also experience issue with Android Auto?

- When using the cable, it only charges, the S10+ works flawless with AA with the same cable

- When using AA Wireless, it is very laggy, while the S10+ is running smooth with AA Wireless

Any ideas how to fix this?

Saw similar issues on Google Support:

Compatibility with Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Android Auto does not work on Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and 2020 Škoda Scala

Update 25-2-2022:

I was able to connect with wired AA by using another USB-C cable, while the USB-C cable that came with the AAWireless device works just fine with my S10+.

But with AAWireless and with Android Auto wired, the screen is very laggy. I don't know if it is related to Samsung's hardware/software or Android 12.

Android Auto Known Issues (Updated: 2/21/2022)

To make AA work, try these steps:

Remove your new and old phone from your car's list of Bluetooth devices

Clear Cache/Remove storage data of the Android Auto app

Uninstall/remove updates Android Auto

Go to Google Play Store and install/update Android Auto

Turn on Passtrough option in AAWireless (works for me without, but it always disconnects after 5 mins, also on the S10+)

For Wired AA, try another cable, that worked for me!

For other detailed steps, try these (thanks to gadinaveh):

Same for me. my S21 was working great before on my AAWireless and with cable (Honda Pilot). I tried to connect with S22 - wired does not work, neither does wireless. Removed all devices from the car and retried - nothing still. very frustrating.

I did see something else that might be related. I can successfully connect my S21 to my Dex on Desktop running on my mac. The S22 will not detect the same Dex (same cable, same laptop). It will successfully work with an external monitor with Dex and with Wireless Dex on my Windows laptop.

So has anyone tried uninstalling AA? Then reinststall?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I have the U.S. Unlocked and after removing my S20 Ultra Unlocked from my 2020 Honda CRV the S22 Ultra connected without any issues at all. Make sure you remove the old phone and the Bluetooth connection settings for old phone before trying to connect with the new phone. Worked for me but then again this is the Snappy version. I have had it 24 hours and not had a single issue yet and I used Smart Switch to setup phone exactly like the old one so they look identical.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gadinaveh:
Thanks Paul for the info.

I used smartswitch but initially did not remove the phone from the car., when nothing worked, I removed all previous devices and cleared storage/cache for AA on the new phone.

Did you (confirming)

1. remove the devices from the car

2. remove the bt connection from the new phone

am i missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
My old phone was in there twice in the settings and had to remove both entries. But I didn't do anything to the new phone. I just plugged it into the entertainment port with a cable and made sure Bluetooth on new phone was on and the car recognized the new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gadinaveh:
Thanks Paul

Started the same steps on the other honda (civic 2019) and was able to connect with Cable (yay ;-) ).

I then tried to use AAWireless, and while it shows successful connection (phone shows "use AA on your car screen", AA icon shows up on the car screen), AA does not open on the car. In addition, when going into audio when AA is the selected audio source, I see a message of "Loading..." and is stuck there.

Any idea or suggestion will be appreciated

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] XBOHDPuKC:
It seems that AA should NOT be transferred from the old phone - after I cleared cache data for both AA and AAWireless it started working albeit VERY slowly - not sure what's up with that. If you are getting just a blank screen - wait for awhile it might come up with the setup screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gadinaveh:
I cleared storage andn cache, and then tried AAWireles (with the AAWireless device) after successfuly completing the cable connection.

I was finally able to make it work. Please note that I am using an AAWireless (an external wireless device), not a builtin wireless capability in the car head unit

Cleared up the phone connection list of the cars (wifi, bluetooth and the AAWireless devices)

Removed all devices listed in the head unit android auto list of devices

Removed the relevant devices from the car's list of bluetooth

Reconnected the phone to the car with cable and ensured working correctly

Reconnected the AAWireless device to the car and ensured working correctly

that initially did not work

Turned on the passtrhru option in the device and AA started working with the AAWireless device

Turned the car off and on a few times to ensure still working ;-)

Repeated the process successfully on the second car

So, as of last night, I had it all working. Will probably check today it still works :)

Kinda hard to guide you cause I can't see what you are seeing. What Honda model are you having trouble with is it CRV and what year? Maybe going to the dealer and asking one of their techies to help? Also did you try clearing the android auto cache on phone? Maybe disable it too then Renable and update the app?

Kia Xceed and AAwireless - after installing the newest version of AA via .apk and resetting all bluetooth connections in my car the wireless AA kinda works - sound loads normally but the screen is black for maybe a minute but then all icons jump on and it works as it used to on my previous phone.

If I disconnect from the car I have to wait through the whole thing again. I also tried to scream "Khaaaaan!" into the void of the universe but that didnt help. My guess is that this is caused by the new Samsung refresh rate abilities and we need to wait for a fix on their side.

KIA Sorento MQ4 2021 + S22 Ultra = super laggy wired AA. Not usable. Nothing helps. With Note20 Ultra evetything was smooth.

Kind of weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bignazpwns:
Aa wireless sucks. I had one and got rid of it. Definitely not ready for release nothing but problems with my note 20 ultra and verious other phones.

But I use wireless Android Auto on my S22 ultra and with the Motorola MA1 it's been flawless on my 2021 ZL1. No issues and it also connects much faster.

Honestly I would ditch the AA wireless and pick up a MA1 the AA wireless was nothing but problems. Problems with Samsung phones the. Problems with Chevy. Updates would cause new issues with other phones and kinda fix some stuff but introduce new issues. Feels rushed and slapped together. My friend who bought it from me has had a few issues with his 2022 F150 and a OnePlus 9. If you use AA wireless you just have to accept there's going to be issues at some point. I can see why it's being sold as a perk and not an actual product.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
I've never had any issues with AA wireless. I had a pixel 4xl, a pixel 6 pro, and now the ultra. Zero issues with it. The problem I had was android auto. It didn't work at first, then someone in here said use passthrough, which worked, but it would crash after a while. When AA 7.4 was dropped I updated, clicked off passthrough and zero issues again now. 2020 Audi A5 SB.

I may have to try the Motorola unit, but unless it's instant working or something that awes versus AA wireless, I'm staying. I like supporting fellow XDA folks. Also, AA wireless typically starts within 10-20 seconds FYI.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] XBOHDPuKC:
Fixed the last lag issue with S22 Ultra - just reset the AAWireless - stick a pin in the Reset hole and hold it for 5 secs. Works like a champ now.

Did you have then to go thru the process of re-pairing with the device?
