[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
nice to know. i ordered one of the 3$ ones just for the heck of it. my extended battery cover has plenty of room in that area for almost any of the adapters out there.

ebay "dual sim adapter" make sure to get a full- size to full-size adapter or you will have to cut up your old one to fit. they also have mini to big and big to mini and mini to mini. I phone4s take mini sims

i love the package notes!

avoid change crust!

avoid change mobile!

Wisdom sim card~ lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
So I am home from work now and dug out my old dual sim. Its a magicsim 20th-A and it doesn't work. I realize its 3 years old now but thought I would give it a shot. The package says 2008 just like one of those on the review link I posted earlier. So take that into consideration. I sent a bunch of PMs to people who had posted about this same subject on the I9000 forum so maybe one of them will reply to help us out.

edit: After looking at the one on extremedeals again, the picture is exactly the same as the one i already had. i am going to look around for a newer version. they are up to 28th now. although it seems the 26th version might also work?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
learned something!!!

the adapter i bought is GSM. gsm only covers upto 2g

3g is now part of the WCDMA group.

oh well thats why i bought a 3$ one! to learn!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
That is kinda funny. I have been looking for a 26th edition at least but I am not having much luck in the US. From my research i think the 26th edition will work. There are 2 28th editions on eBay but they are in Australia. And the shipping is almost as much as the adapter. +$25 Or so.

I also think an iphone4 version would have to work, but the trick would be fitting it and also the main slot is a micro similar size. I am still looking. :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I can't believe how difficult this is going to be. It looks like eBay, the source of all my goodies, has very little to offer as far as current edition dual sim adapters. I spent a bunch of time searching over the weekend and cant find a US supplier.

I may have to bite the bullet and order a $90 version from Simore. although I have procrastinated long enough that they now have a new adapter, the Infinite, v8. apparently that is better than silver, gold, and Platinum. LOL.

I have read lots of unhappy reviews about Simore but they seem to have a new technology with a more flexible adapter plate.

I just wish there was more information here on xda about happy users. I did a bunch of searching and sent some replies and PMs but got no replies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
more info

I found a bunch of good information on the German amazon.de website.

It appears most users are happy with the newer adapters. Some are using them on the I9000. My concern is if they have the same type of high speed networks over there as we have here. Its a bit hard to follow the Google translations but its worth the effort I think.

But apparently they are only selling them in Germany as I cant find a corresponding item on the US site.

So I am still searching.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Bought one finally

I purchased one through a guy in the UK today. I went with the Magic SIM 28th cutting version. He assured me it would work and there are a bunch of posts on the HD2 page about it working for them.

I will post back when I get it.

Wow, at over 1,000 views apparently I am not the only one wanting to try this out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr_Floyd:
Yea, this dual SIM business is a no-brainer. Why is this not standard out of the box on devices like the SGS?

Can you put up some details of how to find the one you bought and what you paid for it?

Eager to find out how this went for you, mate. Best of luck. Cheers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I bought it from a company called direct devices. They have an eBay store but if you want the cutting version you have to email them.

I did a bunch of searching and reading , here on XDA and anyplace else I could find on the web.

On XDA the best thread was in the HD2 section under Dual/Ghost SIM. They had a very long discussion on them there.

One problem I think there is is that the faster connections dont like the dual sim adapters. But for just voice, 2G, GSM, that kind of stuff, even the cheaper adapters seem to work ok. But only the ones designed for the iphone.

The other problem was finding a vendor in the States. I really wanted to get one from here but could find nobody.

On eBay there is a vendor from Australia selling the 28th version. But the shipping was as much as the adapter.

I ended up paying 19.99 GBP plus 3 GBP for shipping to Utah which was about $38.

I will definitely post back here my results once I receive the adapter. I figure sometime next week.

My phone is unlocked and I will be running an ATT sim and a TMO sim.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I received the adapter today. It took 2weeks.

It seems to be working just fine so far. It switches back and forth between the ATT sim and the TMO sim fine. It automatically adds a program called sim toolbox and you just select sim1 or sim2. I only got of a few hours ago so I haven't played with the 007 mode or anything. So far its working as I wanted. If only the TMO connection wasn't only on Edge. I may get another ATT similar instead. I hope this info helps anyone else contemplating such a purchase.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Interestingly it doesn't require me to log back in to my Google account when I switch back and forth. A simply swap of sim cards would require it every time. The software switch has somehow fixed that. Still haven't fooled with the 007 settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuey25:
dual sim

I read through the thread but I'm still unsure of something ..so is it possible to have two phone numbers running on one phone? I have two lines with att and....I'm using call forward but I cant get sms foward to work rite..so this dual sim thing sounded like a possibility
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
You can run both sims in the phone. Just not simultaneously. Forward one line to the other or something like that. I have unlimited data on one sim but not the other, so when I want to download I switch to the second sim.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Also, SMS and mms wont forward. At least not to my knowledge. So yes, you would have to check the other line occasionally. The adapter can be set up to spend 'x' minutes on one line then 'x' minutes on the other and do so automatically. Like 55 minutes on line one ,then 5 minutes on line two. So it would be like checking your messages every hour.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idotdot:
Hi,

I plan to buy the vibrant and may move out of US in a few months.

The Tmobile rep tells me that the phone will not work outside the US even after unlocking because it uses some special google towers and the phone is deigned to only work with tmobile!!

I told him that the phone supports the bands required by the country I will move to, and the carriers there have a 3g service but he insisted that it won't work.

I don't see why the phone shouldn't work.

Is there anything else that will stop the phone (specifically 3g internet) from working in India?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
My bf bought his Vibrant from Tmo while we were in the US and they tried pushing that crap on us. Thankfully, we knew how GSM/3g works and what bands we needed so we weren't fooled. Your phone should work overseas just fine but make sure you double check on the 3g bands just in case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idotdot:
Oh thanks. I suspected that there was something fishy in the tmobile reps response :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Special Google Towers?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
Yeah T-Mobile WILL lie to you.

They told us that if we cancel our data plan our phone won't work...

it does.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_wolf88:
WTF !

Are you sure they told you that ?!

I ordered Vibrant 3 days ago from ebay and now after reading your post I'm worried that it won't work with my Service provider !!

This is weird !

I had HTC HD2 before from T-Mobile and internet was working perfectly with my service provider !

I think they just don't want you to use it without there plan so that's why they're telling people that !!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
wolf, the only way that phone wouldn't work is if you're carrying it from a GSM carrier to a CDMA carrier or something like that because GSMs have SIM cards while CDMA phones don't use the same technology.

The vibrant should connect with any carrier that have these frequencies:

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900

3g: 1700 (AWS*), 1900, 2100

Personally, the only place you should worry about the phone not completely working is in Japan and that's because although they do have 1700 3g, it's not the same as AWS. From my research, I believe that most 3g carriers rely on either 900 or 2100, so I guess as long as you have a phone that can do 3g with just 2100, you should be good in the majority of places. (BTW, if I said something that's completely untrue, then feel free to correct me).

The main source I used for coming to my conclusion was wikipedia:

Search UTMS and then scroll all the way to the bottom of the article and click the link "List of Deployed UTMS networks" under See Also.

Okay im not a big poster but this just pisses me off. TMO reps are morons they are not trained in phones. They are just regular people trying to make money off commission. I know this cuz i use to work with them. I would laugh that i knew more about phones then the damn managers.

But anyways yea your phone should work. They lie about unlock codes and phones getting unlocked because they make no commission on selling phones only on selling contracts plans and data plans. I use to unlock so many phones outside of tmo for a small fee (i am a student my time is valuable only ten bucks or 5 bucks) because tmo reps would just lie to these poor people.

Do not go to tmo store for anything unless u cant get it online stay far far away.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
+1

They tried pulling the same crap with us before we left the US and we went to multiple stores. All of them said that the phone wouldn't work outside of the US. They actually tried to get us on a plan and refused to unlock even when I said that we'd be leaving the US within the week when we bought it off contract. I'm honestly reconsidering going to Tmobile when I return to the US later on. Simple Mobile runs on Tmo's network anyhow and after this experience with their store clerks, I'd almost rather go with them.

First i would like to say thank you to all the devs for their hard work and effort they put into these froyo roms. Let me just say that WOW my phone is 500 times better off than it was on froyo cuz i went back to superd 1.1 man, talk about a major improvement on, speed,battery,look,and stability... i missed my 1.6 and froyo is just overrated lately... but i suggest people go back and see what were missing out on some real speed and improvement..... will someone at least try it, and let me know your results/opinion. thanks
[G1 General] protomanez:
This should be general. Yes I am being bland about it.
[G1 General] tKoHaXoR:
I'm holding out on upgrading to Froyo. They are too slugish for my G1 and those roms drain my battery really fast.

I'm on a custom lite version of SuperFast v1.3.3. My battery life on the g1 is averaged somewhere in between 12-24 hours depending on the settings and daily use.
[G1 General] etu_aty:
I felt the same way about froyo... overrated... Im on donut as well (supercsdiv4) and im very happy, the rom flies the battery life is good and i can play almost any 3d game i have tried.

there are a few good froyo roms but they are still a bit slow... im gonna wait for a while and see what the devs come out with :D

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, but as the other guy said, this should definitely be in general.

Hey guys well i crashed the software on my old evo due to rooting lol. IM getting a new one shortly. What Im asking is a REALLY GOOD step by step guide, with the links to download the right files, to root the 2.2 stock froyo it comes with BUT ALSO nand-unlocking it while im rooting it. The reason im asking for this was I had a hard time flashing cyanogen mod 6 after i used the root method from djr3Z from the droid demos website (It was downgrading the stock 2.2 to stock 2.1, rooting 2.1 and then finally going to a rooted 2.2 with Amon Ra recovery) Please help me! Im a noob and i would really appreciate it. Thx in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Nand wasn't unlocked fully with the method you used. Many people had that issue. You can either unlock nand and be done, or wait a few days for the latest unrevoked to come out.

Here is how to unlock nand :

http://theunlockr.com/2010/07/20/how-to-unlock-nand-on-the-htc-evo-4g/

Unrevoked if you wait :

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom085:
If you followed regaw's complete tutorial, including unrevoked-forever, you unlocked your nand and have the ability to flash custom roms. I know because I did it and am currently running Fresh 3.2. I also made nandroid backups and boot between them.

You can't jump right in to Cyanogen because you're on the wrong hboot. Cyanogen requires hboot 76, and you're probably on 93 or similar from regaw's method. Boot phone holding volume down and check it out.

I can't post links, but you can search the forums for "ENG hboot 76" and probably get the right post on how to get hboot back. Also, I believe it may be easier to find the link in the actual Cyanogen forums.

Keep in mind this downgrades your PRI to 1.3 instead of 1.40. Find the fix for that in a different thread.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgallos1:
Ok thx for that. The only question is when i get my evo and its on stock 2.2 should i do the nand-unlock, will that also root the phone in the process?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
By the time you get your phone unrevoked will be out, with unrevoked, you just do a couple of mouse clicks and your done.

Also, unlocking nand is different than rooting. You must be rooted first in order to unlock nand. Just wait for your phone first, unrevoked will make it easy and painless for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
Unrevoked all the way

Unrevoked is a great tool that truly makes it easy. When i rooted without it, I lost everything. But unrevoked doesn't delete anything at all. Will the new one unlock and or will you still need forever and .76 boot img?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Not sure, still no details on their site. I recommend getting the .76 hboot because roms like cyanogenmod wont flash on other versions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgallos1:
yea i got my evo back that i broke. They fixed it and brought it back to 2.1. I turned it off to charge it. Whne it was done and i turned it on instead of it booting up the sprint music with the 4g symbol, it went into htc with the cursive letters popping up quietly brilliant. Anyone has had this issue? I mean after that it goes smooth im on the interface and all goes well any advice?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
Sounds like you have the oldest version of 2.1 like they did a factory reset. No issue. Your phone is primed and ready for rooting. If you are going to run CM6, then I would suggest using Toast's method to root and nand unlock. This will give you the necessary eng hboot 0.76.2000 to run that ROM. Although you may want to do search through the forums for a means of unlocking nand without downgrading your PRI to 1.34_003 (current is 1.40_003). The eng-PC36IMG.zip in Toast's part 2 "How to unlock nand" will downgrade your PRI.
