Thanks froestel
Any problems fitting the dual Sim into the HD2?
I would prefer the option of using the full size SIM cards in an adaptor if possible instead of cutting them down

No for me no problems.
This adapter can also UMTS.
GSM adapter is also available, where you must not cut the SIM.
I hope my bad English is understandable ...

Your English is Fine froestel, do you have a link to the GSM adaptor which uses the full size SIM card please?

Anyone know if this will work with any of the Irish networks? I tried a similar card a few months ago on Meteor and 3 Ireland but none of my Irish Sims worked but all my Dutch ones did though (Vodafone,T-Mobile)

the only issue with Hypercard 3G, is that u need to cutdown ur SIM

how does it work?
Hello,
can someone explain to me how this works?
can I get calls on both numbers?
witch of the two is the active one and the one I call from?
Or is it a soft switch so that I can only use one sim at the time?
Sorry for the questions but I could not find the answers...

Well, it supports HSDPA but I have a problem switching between SIMs.
As soon as I choose the second SIM in the Hypercard menu, the "select" button (left softkey) disappears.

what about the battery drain with the Hypercard 3G, perhaps someone can write his experiences?
Thank you!

Hi,
I don't realize any battery drain. Under normal circumstances, my battery lasts for 1 1/2 - 2 days.

Thank you for your information!

I used Simore for a previous phone. I will NEVER buy anything from them again. The adapter didn't work and when their tech support ran out of ideas (and when I asked for a refund) they just ignored me after that.
Disgusting customer service!

The International GALAXY NOTE N7000 DOES NOT SUPPORT T-MOBILE`s 3G bands. Just EDGE, Thats all you will get and nothing more. Only the AT&T Version can work with T-Mobile`s 3G speeds

And one more question - is that issue related only with T-Mobile 3G? Will other providers 3G networks work with that GNote?

[Q] Tmobile US questions

Hi
I'm planning to get the Z3C soon and have a few questions that I'm hoping some users with the device using tmobile could help me out with.
1. Does the SMH (wifi tethering) work on the phone? My current phone doesn't support it for some reason, and they say it's because my phone is unlocked and not from tmobile. It has the option, but just never starts.
2. How is the LTE speed? Faster/slower than what you had before? Or about the same.
3. How is the reception on the phone? I read about how the phone is displaying less bars even though the signal strength is good so I'm not worried about that.
4. Does wifi-calling work? I assuming not cause it's not from Tmobile, but I thought I would ask anyways since no one addressed it yet.
That's all I could think of that isn't already answered in one of the other threads.

No, WiFi calling will not work on any non T-Mobile branded phones. The WiFi Calling aspect is baked into t-mobiles ROMs. Non one has been able to get this to work, on any phone that is not T-Mobile branded, AFAIK. However, Hangouts and SIP calling works quite well.

Since the Z3 (non-compact) appears to be headed to TMO, will that ROM be able to be loaded onto the Z3 Compact to enable Wi-Fi calling? (I am assuming that the Z3 will be able to use Wi-Fi calling, since I think all smart phones sold by TMO now support it)
Still keeping my fingers crossed that the C is available from TMO also!

Possible ... but, I have no idea. It seems plausible ... but there are differences between the Z3 and Z3C that may not make it possible. Keep your fingers crossed, as I would like that as well.

thanks guys for the prompt replies :good:

[Q] Root, Unlocked Bootloaders and AT&T/T-Mobile

Okay, so I just bought an S6 (coming from a S3) from AT&T. I came on here, like I did with my S3 years ago, to see the status on Root. From what I'm reading, it seems like the consensus is that AT&T phones won't be getting root or unlocked bootloaders?
My main questions is, if I return this phone(I bought it outright), and go buy it from T-Mobile, will it basically be the same as I have now but with unlocked bootloader and root? Are there any disadvantages to doing it this way? (e.g. No LTE, etc)
Thanks!

It's the same phone but good luck getting it unlocked. Even if you pay in full for it it's a pain. The only thing that may not work is VoLTE.

Buy the unlocked version. SM-G920I. You can find it on eBay, thepowersellers.com, and a couple other places. Works perfect on AT&T, LTE and all. Unlocked bootloader, no bloat, faster updates, no AT&T bs.

Does AT&T HD Voice/VoLTE work with the unlocked version?

Not sure how to test. My wife has an iPhone 6. Can I test with a call to her or does the iPhone 6 not support it.

So this isn't scientific, but I called someone with an iPhone 5, which doesn't have HD Voice / VoLTE, and it sounded like a typical phone call. Then I called someone with an iPhone 6, which does have HD Voice, and it sounded much clearer to me. She said I didn't sound any different than usual, but she doesn't notice the difference between an SD and HD TV either. So I think it's working, but I don't know how to confirm 100%.

Thanks for checking. To confirm if it's working or not, just look at the data icon in the status bar during a call. If it drops down the 4G/H+ then the call is not VoLTE. If the data icon stays on LTE during the call, then VoLTE is active.

Nope, drops to H+ so I guess VoLTE isn't working at the moment, but I wonder if it just requires an APN change or something trivial. Anyone have an AT&T model that they can screenshot all of the APN settings on?
Even if I can't get VoLTE working, calls already sound great, much better than my Nexus 5, so it isn't a huge deal.

Bah. Thanks again for checking. I have 10 days left to decide if I want to return mine or not and get an unlocked S6. Not having root is killing

I'm in the exact same boat as you... Biggest problem I can see is that I can only find the Black SM-G920I in 32gb...

I would be interested to see how rooting goes. I believe it took the community raising $20,000 to the first person able to root the S5. It took a long time but somebody finally did it. But if you root, news today said you will NEVER be able to use Samsung Pay. Not really a game changer for some people. But for me, I use Google Wallet from time to time, but I plan to fully convert to mobile payments with Samsung Pay.

I'll start it off with $20 for bootloader unlock on the AT&T S6

Agree. That capability far outweighs any reason to root. Wish they would hurry up about it.
I do remember, however, that Samsung tried this trick with Soft Card, but all it took to use it with root was someone making an Xposed script that masked root status from that app.

bump. i got $5 on it.

Xiaomi Mi5 GSM issues. (Resolved)

Resolved: Wouldn't connect to T-Mobile networks, connected fine to AT&T. Guessing it was band limitations. (Should have checked bands.)
Here in California, USA and can't seem to even connect to the 2G/3G services on T-Mobiles networks. Popped in my SIM card last night and got a MetroPCS banner for about a second. Haven't been able to get it to work since. Always no bars, no service. Any tips?

Here's a screenshot of my lack of signal. I seem to get signal for a second, then it just disconnects. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I bought new xiaomi m5 and straight away got problem with the touchscreen. If anybody had similar problem, will go to the shop to see what they say anyway.

Just a hint: Try your frend sim card, if it doesn't work with that too, I would write to the shop to send back for repair or replace.

Yeah, hasn't worked with any SIM card. They do returns but not repairs/replaces.

What do you get when you dial: *#*#4636#*#*
Maybe you can optimize the settings?

I always get emergency calls only, it reads that there is a SIM card inserted for both slot 1 & 2 plus it reads the phone number of the card AND even contacts on the card but doesn't connect to the network. :/

is that some Quality Assurance issues or a general problem?

Also getting issues with signal, weaker than any other of phones , sometimes drops call, or caller hear me with pause, ( i'm techinician, repairing phones, having a lot of tests), i'm in EU. Because lack of band 20 4g+ isn't working here i think. Overall a lot of people got defective units. Mine also have loudspeaker problems, tryed to calibrate via service menu, still the same.

Please let us know how it's working on AT&T. I'm on AT&T and am very interested in this phone.

just as a 2nd review....I am in NJ on ATT and works very well.
although, it's a pain to debloat everything everytime I tinker with settings or try to unlock!
