Can 3G DATA Work With Dual Sim Card Holder on Diamond? KW: Adapter, HSPDA, DualSim

Hi guys,
I got a voice plan on one sim and pure 3g HSDPA Data on the other sim and was thinking of getting it to work together on my Diamond.
The Sim Adapter I am looking at is found here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250262371185
by the name of MagicSim
Well I was wondering if there are any tested and confirmed dual sim solutions that work on the Diamond, that allows switching between:
3G DATA GPRS via HSDPA
3G Voice Calls
Reason I asked is because I read that some adapters/holders do not work with 3G and this one supposedly "supports" 3G.
"Supports" is rather vauge because I can pop in a 3G sim under GSM mode and it is still supported.
Thanks!
Gerald

Anyone?

I would assume you would need a special soft to switch between the sims, and even more if you want to have different settings. In the best case you're looking at 3rd party apps. Unfortunately, I never had the need for double SIM, so I can't help with a specific suggestion.

Kinda dug out this last night but just wanted to confirm 3G GPRS works before buying the adapter

Hi there, I've got the same problem as you haha. Anyone can confirm this?

I'm very sure it'll work.. these DualSim connectors just switches the circuit to the active SIM card... doesn't really modify anything..

Well on the older versions in the past year didn't work with 3G so I just wanted to be sure in case I lose money on this

How are you ordering it btw?

Not necesarily! Most of them also have a sim toolkit menu to switch the sims. That means they intercept the data from the sim to the phone and simulate that menu. If you can't turn this off, and the dual sim itself can't understand 3G commands, it wont work.
You should ask the seller if it works with USIMS.

"Works on , both 2G and 3G (USIM)"
Switching through stk so it should be supported by the today plugin

I have the same problem. With my Trinity and my Orbirt I the same adapter works fine, but not with the Diamond.

they are selling a analog one here:

if anyone could test it... i'm still waiting for my diamond...

That´s my...no way!

I have an XDA Orbit 2 with that exact type of dualSIM and can categorically tell you that it works fine with 3G.
My personal SIM is O2 (3G) and work is Orange (GSM). To switch between the two, all you need to do is switch flight mode on, then flight mode off. It takes maybe 10s to change between the two networks.
Oh yeah I've had G,E,3G and H symbols on O2 so I take that to mean I have the ability to connect to all the data speeds.

Yes, it works fine with my Orbit 1, with my Orbit II and with my Trinity, but not with the Diamond!

[Q] new moto x dev edition unlocked, sim undetected??

Hi,
I am a newbie here, so bear with me
After much research and trying to understand what each model was, i bought a moto x (1st gen) developpper edition unlocked.
It is supposed to be new. has the white back and the black front.
I am using it with ultra mobile. Got the sim cut to nano size with a punchout tool.
Thing is the sim goes undetected.. the phone does not get a signal (although I think it can detect networks). but shows the sim undetected icon in the top.
The sim has been checked and works perfectly fine in several different devices.
What am i missing here?
While I did not realize the seller listing did not list GSM as a feature, it does list the following:
3G UMTS bands: 850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)
4G LTE bands:700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2), Wi-Fi: 802.11a/g/b/n/ac (dual band capable), mobile hotspot

From what you mentioned you definitely have the GSM version. No worries there. The developer version, besides being half Oreo, will also say Developer Edition on the back.
Not that any of that matters for your problem. A sim undetected issue is between sim and phone, the network is not involved yet.

Did you check the sim after you cut it to nano or before? Make sure it works in another phone in it's nano form (no putting it back in the cutout). You'll need another phone that uses nano sim.
An improperly cut sim will have issues. If sim is the problem easy fix just replace it.
If sim checks out then check your phone with another nano sim to make sure it's not just that one sim it doesn't like. if it's the same result then you might have a hardware issue.

Yes, thanks I checked the sim in other devices, it worked totally fine.
Thanks so much for your reply..So i received the cutter i had ordered and we did a last ditch effort, using it to make sure the sim got cut properly.. Surprise it worked! Phone is good to go and completely working.
This was simply an issue of the sim not being cut properly

[Q] Dual Sim issue with Three UK network.

So my brother got the Moto G 2014 Dual Sim, and it is a really nice phone, but there is a problem.
His data SIM is on one network, and his other SIM (pay as you go) is on Three UK.
Since Three's network has only 3G and 4G, when the data is truned on the first SIM, the second SIM is put to 2G mode, and since the network does not support 2G, the SIM does not work...
So the question is, is there a way to force both SIMs to stay on 3G mode no matter which one has the data turned on?
Thanks in advance!

That's one of the reasons i switched. H3G is an awful company

If your bro decides to swap because of this I use (and can recommend) GiffGaff (or the one he's already with) in one slot for calls and texts and a T-Mobile sim (normal sim for calls/texts/data) in the other, the T mobile sim is then using 3g internet on the 6 months data plan for £20 at 1gb a month download + unlimited browsing.

If there is no way to force 3G mode on both, he will move his sim. The only reason he has it is because it's the cheapest PAYG (1-2-3).
I myself am with Three UK, and I am pleased with the service so far. I am on a 30 day rolling contract (15 quid a month unlimited internet/texts and i think 200 mins), so if I am only staying with them if I feel like I am getting a good enough service.
I hope there is a way to force 3g mode but if not then he will move his PAYG three sim to something else (most likely GiffGaff).

How does dual sim work

Hi. I have a GB xt1068 (dual SIM) and am wondering what the second SIM will allow me to do. It it simply like having two mutually exclusive phone lines in one handset (e.g. need to activate one or the other) or can they work together (e.g receive call from either)

Dual SIM is useful for various situations. I personally use it to both have a cheap 3GB mobile internet (tablet contract) and a cheap phone/SMS (prepaid), since there are no contracts for that much data+phone for a low price where I live.
When you are travelling a lot, you can use the second SIM slot for a SIM from a local carrier, so you don't have to roam but still can be contacted with your number in the original SIM slot.
You can also use it for your work SIM, if you don't handle crucial company data, so you don't have to carry around two devices. After work, you can easily disable the SIM, if you don't want to be contacted any more.
However, AFAIK, the Moto G 2014 only has one GSM and one HSDPA modem for both SIMs. So you can not have two calls or two data connections at the same time. But it is easily possible to switch the SIM (for example right before a call, you can decide from which SIM to call).
Hope that helped

Note that one sim will use 3G only and the other will be 2G for phone calls. So if you plan on use a three network sim for phone calls then the other sim will be downgraded to 2G so you will not be able to use data on that at the same time.

[Q] dual SIM question

Quick question for you dual SIM users.
Does the Moto G2 support 3G on both Sims?
I intend using two three SIM cards, but they only support 3G. So if SIM two is only working on 2G it would be no good to me.
Thanks

The data connection is for one sim only, you get to choose if you use data on sim one or two, data is automatically change sim, for example from 3g sim1/2g sim2 to 2g sim1/3g sim2

Thanks, I'm with you. So with my two three Sims there would be only one SIM on at any one time.
I have I signal SIM moto g1 now, and if I switch to 2g only the three SIM no longer works.

Both Sim work at the same time while I'm using 3g in any Sim.
Data is available only for one Sim at a time, but the change is really fast and automatic when you select which Sim to use for data
I use mine with same carrier, it uses the 850mhz band.
Remember this phone is dualsim standby, it means if you're using voice in one Sim the other is unreachable.

Yes just on most networks if you are on 2G the sim still works. On three they don't.
A three SIM won't work on 2G no calls text or anything.
So even with both sims in standby only one would receive calls, am I right?
Only way to receive calls on either SIM (from standby) on a moto g is if at least one SIM works on 2G?

I've own two dual sim phones s4mini (lost it) an this moto g 2014, both are stated as dual sim standby, I haven't notice any difference in the way they handle simcards/data/voice.
On both phones I've use same carrier/numbers, one is personal (same number for 10+ years) the other from work (same number for 5+ years).
I've never missed a call on either Sim.
Even if I'm downloading something I can receive calls and text messages on that sim the download stops but my phone core functionality is still a phone for both simcards with any combination of data in 2g/3g or 2g/2g.
I'm never going to carry two separated phones, for me is enough the dualisim standby functionality.
For you is a pain that your carrier don't support 2g network any dual sim standby won't work, you need a dual sim phone with two separate modems

Thanks for confirming that, only other thing I can do is use one SIM and activate call divert on the other number.
That's the main drawback with three only supporting 3G/4G
