can i receive calls on both number

hi there, i am going to buy hipercard 3g, but plz could you or anyone who is using Hipercard let me know if it is poss to receive calls on both number regardless of which one is active and ofcourse can make only calls from whichever is active that time?
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
no, you can't... you would need a double radio for that purpose.

Chinese phones that do that actually have two internal systems that manage the connection so both sims are online.

Dual dim adapters for single sim phones, no matter the brand of either, only allow to have 2 sims physically inside the phone at all times, but you have to select each time which one sim you want to be using

I can confirm that Simore Sim platinum works in HD2, but can not fit it in.

i have no cutting one, and there is no way how to close battery cover - only solution would be to remove thermo rubber.

[HD2 Accessories] Palmchen:
a question to all with following adapter:

http://www.dual-sim-adapter.com/english_eur.html

not so expensive ... but there are differnet adapter , some are working with UMTS.

and one kind - in the middle of the side for iphone - looks like very nice.

But I don't know if it's fit in HD2 and will work with windows mobile...

And if I get the one to cut the sim card's , will this adapter fit in HD2 or not ?

so many questions

will it fit in HD2 if I try an cutting UMTS adapter, or

will it fit in HD2 if I use spezial adapter for iphone 3g, or

is it better to use a noin cutting UMTS adapter

could anybody try it first or check the situation with the supplier?

hi..

today i receive a simore dual sim platinum.. 75 eur + 20 eur for custom... and not work!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
did you read this thread? If I'm not wrong, other people tried the simore and said it didn't work correctly.

Anyway, as I already said, I'd never spend that kind of money of a piece of plastic.

70 EUR is what you pay for a chinese dualsim phone with tv and radio tuner
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:

Could you give us some more feedback please? Does it fit well and easily? Did you test 3g on both sims? How do you switch between the 2 sims? Is the operator name updated? etc. etc. Would be very good if you can take some pictures with the thing in your hd2.

Thanks in advance

Working dual sim's for hd2!

Guys,

First of all, a word of advice: DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON EXPENSIVE DUAL SIM ADAPTERS!!! Anything more expensive than 10 $ or Euro is definetly a steal!!

If you're looking for a cheap and working, dual sim adapter, search and look for this type and design: http://www.dualsim.ro/pd1140809872.htm?categoryId=7

me and my friends bought this (initialy with little expectations..since it cost's 300 lei in Romania, that's about 10 Euro's or 7 $!) and we were very suprised to discover that this thing works on every htc model we had..and we have been using this without any sort of problem on all kind of network types and bands, for about a 8 month's now.

For those of you that are scared to cut your Sim Card to pieces (myself included :)

you should know that there is a special SIM Cut Tool to do this, it looks like this: http://www.dualsim.ro/pd846215580.htm?categoryId=7
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
hi friend..

this type of dual sim is no cut.. this is make for iphone but work great in HD2 and work well.. i have pay only 20 eur :)
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
Thanks for the feedback. Just a few more questions: what do you mean by changing to 256? Can you also take a picture with the battery cover closed after it is installed?
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
Thanks, but I still don't like the idea of cutting the sim cards, even with the tool.
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
in italy TIM mobile have make a sim at 256 kb of memory..

this type have same problem in dual sim.. but in this adaptor work. :)
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
Grazie mille per il feedback mannyy, avevo perso la speranza! Ho due sim sotto i 256k quindi non credo avrò il tuo problema... se le uso in GSM normale nella tua esperienza è possibile fare lo switch avanti e indietro tra l'ìuna e l'altra quante volte mi pare senza dover riavviare? Se sì, posso liberarmi di sto nokia 3310 che uso come muletto wind :D

[ENGLISH]

thank you VERY much for the feedback, my sims are lower than 256k so should be okay. Do you think I can switch back and forth between them as many times as I want without needing to restart the phone? I use simple gsm, and not 3g ;)

BTW I've found a cheaper one directly from hongkong here http://cgi.ebay.it/Dual-Magic-SIM-C...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f01d28b7f which doesn't say "26th" in the name, but looks identical, I'll buy that one first ;)

...just bought, should need *at least* couple weeks to arrive here in italy, more likely 3wks-1month, won't miss to report results in here, and thenkyou again mannyy!
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
buongiorno.

questa mattina cominciano i test...

ho trovato qualche scheda sim

primo test:

sim TIM 256k + sim WIND 64k = il passaggio da TIM a WIND è OK. il passaggio da WIND a TIM necessita riavvio.

secondo test:

sim TIM 128k + sim WIND 64k = funziona perfettamente in entrambe i sensi, circa 30 secondi pere effettuare il passaggio.

tutte le schede funzionano in 3G!!!

ENGLISH:

Good day.

begin testing this morning ...

I found some sim card

first test:

sim TIM 256k + sim WIND 64k = switch from TIM to WIND is OK. the transition from WIND to TIM requires restart.

second test:

sim TIM 128k + sim WIND 64k = works perfectly in both directions, about 30 seconds to switch pears.

all cards work on 3G!

vedendola sembrerebbe la stessa..

ma la confezione è diversa..

visto che la differenza di prezzo è piccola e che la spedizione arriva direttamente dall'italia.. io comprerei quella postata da me.

oggi ne compro un'altra di scorta.

ENGLISH:

seeing it would seem the same ..

but the packaging is different ..

since the price difference is small and that the shipment arrives from Italy .. I buy what I posted.

Today I buy another stock.
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
mi stavo dimenticando..

per far chiudere perfettamente la cover della batteria bisogna rimuovere la gomma interna e, con un pezzo di carta vetrata, bisogna rimuovere tutti i bordi interni.

esternamente non si vedrà nulla.

a breve allego le foto. :)

ENGLISH:

I was forgetting ..

to fully close the battery cover must be removed and the rubber inside, with a piece of sandpaper, you must remove all the internal edges.

Externally you will not see anything.

Short enclose photos. :)
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
Thanks for the feedback, especially for confirming the problem is only with 256k cards, I'm much more confident now! 30 seconds are a big lag, one minute back and forth, but I suppose I can live with it :)

The price difference anyway is still big in my opinion, 6.30EUR shipped, against 19EUR+6EUR shipping, that's four times as much :D Since that's just an italian distributor, I am sure that card is sold somewhere else for much less, and 90% it's the same I bought.

It's a pity you need to remove the rubber, since that is also needed as a heatsink, will try to keep as much as possible of it.
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
hi.

I begin to believe I'll be lucky.

I see everytime you change the SIM you get the automatic network configuration dialogue... that stinks! I have disabled 3G connection via advanced networking settings, so I need to restore that everytime I change sim? I need to find a way to disable that dialogue at boot

[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
that only will be shipped to russia. Also, it's scammish, it's not "for the leo", they sell the exact same adapter for each and every phone, when you load the page they display

$phonename accessories: 2 sim adapter for $phonename

they didn't actually test the adapter in the hd2, and they probably don't even care :D

Anyway, HTC should make all its phones 2sim compatible. Not online at the same time obviously, that would require 2 GSM cores, but they should put couple of slots, and a simple switcher code in the radio firmware. Would cost to them no more than 1euro more for each phone, and would be 100% compatible since it's builtin.
[HD2 Accessories] DrATty:
I am a surgeon and I found cutting the SIM cards extremely tricky. The 2 SIMS did work and I could change between them but I had trouble getting them to work individually again later.

Aggiornamento nome dell'operatore da SIM-1 a SIM-2

Ciao ,

Anche io ho acquistato (da Italia) questo adattatore che sembra funzionare correttamente anche se non ho eseguito tutte le prove di connettività .

Però ho notato che nel passaggio da SIM-1 (TIM) a SIM-2 (TRE) in nome dell'operatore non viene sempre aggiornato,rimane cioè sempre "TIM".

Qualche volta l'aggiornamento del nome dell'Operatore viene aggiornato.

Chissà se c'è un motivo...

Grazie
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
Hi ephestione, have you not received the adapter yet?
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
... news ...

this type dual sim works good in ANDROID HD2 :D
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
nope :(

Apparently the seller sent me couple of led lightbulbs I ordered and "forgot" to put the dualsim in the envelope, so before I file a claim I'll wait couple more weeks ;)
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
:) bad luck
[HD2 Accessories] wangiles:
hmm..interesting find. Will try the one by the mannyy. Bought 1 online and waiting for the delivery. Will see if claim is true. Will update again.
[HD2 Accessories] Rencx:
So mannyy where did you boght this dual sim? Is it still working good?

You can also PM me to be sure I get this..
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
Hi..

yes works well...

i have buy on ebay.. this...

http://cgi.ebay.it/ADATTATORE-DUAL-...t=Accessori_per_Cellulari&hash=item1c1560b10d
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
The bloody shipment finally arrived. I opened a paypal claim just yesterday, at the 40th day, to be on the safe side, but irony of the destiny, the package was in today.

Works perfectly between two sims, needs less than one minute to switch, the only BIG PAIN in the you-know-what is that everytime you make a switch, the automatic network configuration wizard kicks in. Since I do not have any data plan, I do NOT want to use 3g/edge, and I should manually go to wireless preferences/connections/advanced/select networks and put "office network" in both slots.

Make this TWICE at every call to the gf, and you have the recipe ready to kill yourself out of frustration.

Anyway, this is the url of the product: http://www.13shopping.com/Show.aspx?PID=2908

Stupid ebay removed the auction who knows why, but the seller has his own website where it sells this product at a slightly lower price.
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
Thanks for the feedback guys. Maybe there is a way to disable the auto connection setup thing, but personally I prefer to have it since I have data plans.
[HD2 Accessories] JLowe:
Can also confirm that the Dual Sim for 20,- Euro works fine with 2 Sims from O2.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
still a rip-off by the italian seller, you can buy the same thing from china for 9USD
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
adapter not working for me anymore, when I try and switch sim the signal indicator will go black for a while and then report there is no sim.

If I reboot after that, the phone will reboot "into" the sim I tried switching to.

I am not too sure it's the adapter's fault tho, while trying to disable the auto network setup, I did some nasty things to the registry and deleted entire trees instead of just changing some keys names :-(

So that may be somehow the cause.

Now I don't have a registry backup so I cannot restore those keys I deleted... hehe, silly me.
[HD2 Accessories] xlr8me:
I can live with the 1min changeover automatic network config. Just purchased my dual sim adapter from 13shopping. Will report back how it goes. Love this phone even more now having the flexibility of 2 sim cards.

Can anyone tell me this 256k sim what does it mean?

Cheers all..
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
Hello everyone ..

now I try to help you ..

I bought all the existing types of dual sim adapter and I tested them.

the small problem is that these adapters do not work well with sim latest from 128kb.

Anyway here are the solutions to try:

1) before making the change sim set only on GSM network

2) if you do not find the menu in your phone is very likely that double sim works in 007 (then hidden) you can just dial 007 and then hang up, so making the menu should reappear.

Android now I'm using a dual sim adapter cut the 23th generation, purchased on ebay from china to 8 eur and it works fine by setting before the change only gsm.

I use a card from WIND 64kb for web browsing and it works perfectly in 3G HSDPA

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
I just got that 23th dual sim cut adapter as well, is that the one with the pictures of the chinese guy on the box, with silver shirt and red glasses? ;)

It's called Magicsim 23th-A. It's got two kinds of metal covers.

Is that the same one you got? And does it work fine in switching like the 26th no cut?

I could try it but am afraid of cutting the cards, and I am not even sure if it fits inside the sim slot since it seems big
[HD2 Accessories] takis1ri:
?

End up in (Hypercard 3g) the only thing that scares me is this: is not working properly with the network of my country but I think not. Any help someone; Thanks.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
my 26th card seems to be locked in 007 mode.

I switched to 007 from the dualsim menu under start, now even if I dial 007 and hang up it will not switch back to STK mode.

001 and 002 also do not work :-(

Putting the adapter in another phone and trying shortcuts doesn't work as well... dam!
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
you can insert in other old phone (nokia for example) ..

need you have a mobile operator signal..

ad after you can change again..

dial 007 and 3 second after pull down.. :)
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
yup, made it work inside a nokia 7210, the hd2 was a no go ;)
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
????

but now work again ???
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
yes yes, I couldn't deactivate 007 mode from the HD2 so I couldn't switch to the other sim or anything, but now that I disabled the 007 mode in the nokia, it works again perfectly in the hd2 ;)

By the way, you said that you were using the dual sim cutting 23th adapter with the hd2 as well, is it the 23th-A? I also have that one but didn't try it yet
[HD2 Accessories] mannyy:
... yes ..

now i work whit dual sim cutting..

two cut sim.. one TIM at 128 kb and one WIND at 64kb.

one secret for you.. WIND offert internet unlimited at 9 eur for mount

http://www.wind.it/it/internetmobile/scheda542.phtml?sez=Privati

works very fine in H3g :)
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
interesting offer, even if it goes down to 32kbps after the first GB of traffic, it's still unlimited, so not too bad, still good for text browsing and email.

Anyway, I already pay 20 euro per month at home, no point in spending other 9euro per month just to always have internet on my phone :)

Maybe in some time the prices will go even lower, and also tiscali mobile will have its offers

Anyway, I decided not to use the dual-sim on the hd2 anymore. Even if the 26th adapter works perfectly, I cannot afford to have the first sim offline when I use the second one.

My main sim is for work, and I don't want to lose precious calls if I am using the second sim for personal conversations
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
I just published a guide on my website putting together some details got from mannyy and some other things I found myself:

[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
heh, thanks, also for your finding, otherwise I would have never discovered the 26th, nor the cheap chinese store that sells them ;)

I am now reselling both 26th and 23th-A here as I won't be using them, I absolutely need my first sim always online because it's for my job

[HD2 Accessories] emperor_gr:
I would like to thank ephestione for his precious information. Has anyone used the adapter and observe how much impact the battery takes with two sims? Also do you know if there are any difference between 23th and 26th version of magicsim, not all online shops ship both items...
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
26th is the no cut version, so no need to put hands on the scissors with your sims, while 23th needs the chips to be cut out but should fit better. I tested 26th only, and own the 23th-a, which mannyy tested and says is working.

No higher bettery drain should be there, since the second sim is "sleeping" when you don't use it. Maybe it drains a little more only when you switch, because the radio must look for the new signal all over.
[HD2 Accessories] emperor_gr:
Thanks for your answer. i do believe that both the 26 and 23th versions have cut and un-cutt builds ...as i have checked at the magicsim. com/en/dual_sim_class.asp?sort2name_id=14&new_id=10 website, probably the 26th has more compatibility or better 3G speeds..
[HD2 Accessories] Smartphoner:
i don't think it's practical to switch off the phone everytime i wanna use a different local line, unless it's another country's which will be unecessary to have a dual sim adapter for, but it's cool though!!
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
nope... 26th is only nocut., 23th is only cut; there are two versoins of 23th, the plain version and the A version, but they are both cut. Anyway, when you receive yours, you will beahble to give use even more feedback ;)

you don't switch off your phone, you just "turn off" one sim when you activate the other... the phone is on all the time
[HD2 Accessories] cid.mbx:
what about this one HTC-HD2-DUAL-SIM-PHONE
[HD2 Accessories] emperor_gr:
Chinese copy?
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
exactly. off topic :p
[HD2 Accessories] cheahcl:
You are actually right based on the website, both 26th generation and 23rd generation have A and B version with signifies cut and uncut. A being cut and B being uncut.

Thanks for the link to the 23rd-A version but I think I'll hold out to find a cheap 26th-A version.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
d'oh! I didn't realize it myself.

Just now tho, I also discovered that the one dualsim adapter I was using isn't a 26th, but rather a "generation-less" Iphone 3g dualsim adapter, since the proper 26th uncut has a different design, which would never fit inside a hd2
[HD2 Accessories] emperor_gr:
As soon as i get my cut/uncut versions will report back to this forum about my findings...
[HD2 Accessories] xlr8me:
Ok....

Some great news I have had now my dual sim for 24hrs and everything perfect.

I can confirm if you wish to disable the auto-config just go into comm manager/hit data connection/menu and detick auto-configuration.

That's it nice and simple and I can now use the dual sim app to swap between both cards within 30seconds. Not bad huhh>??? :)

This has elevated the operation duality of this phone to such a high level I don't think there is anything that can beat it.

Totally orgasmic.... :eek: :D
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
HEH! I'm officially stupid, as I went so far as to identify the autoconfiguration exe, dig the whole registry for occurences of that exe call, and delete them. While a 10 seconds operation would have dealt the same effect :rolleyes:

Will edit the guide on my website crediting you to ease the pain of this.
[HD2 Accessories] emperor_gr:
which version did you get?
[HD2 Accessories] xlr8me:
The one from the 13th shopping link.

Works great on 3G too :)
