Hi,
Got the note 9 since friday. working great. but i noticed that when i call on sim2, i can use mobile data of sim 1.
Default mobile data is from sim1. and phone calls are set to ask every time.
now my sim2 is my work number. during the working hours i call alot with this number.
my sim 1 is my private sub from t-mobile. and i mainly use the data plan of it. since i dont wanna use the internet that my boss pay's for for my personal use.
Now since i got this setup. what happends is. some one texts me a foto through whatsapp. and then calls me to sim2 before i can look / dowload the picture. then when i pickup the phone they ask me did u see the picture i sent you. i then open whatsapp. but i get the msg no network.
what i noticed is that when i call on sim1 i still have LTE data. (cause sim1 provides the data)
so it cant use data from sim 1 and voice from sim2 at the same time?
also is there a way to set certain apps to use data of a specific sim card?
lets say i open my 2nd whatsapp that it loads the images sent there from my sim2 network
but when i open my 1st whatsapp (2nd app cloning) it uses data from sim1?
or any other apps for exmp chrome and samsung internet?
is there any tweak that automates the switch data to sim2 as soon as i make a call with sim2?
now i can just click on the sim settings menu and change the default data to sim2 to receive data during the call. but when im driving in my car this are alot of buttons to press and i rather not.
i don't own N9 yet. read about dual sim technology varieties on the net, theoretically N9 should be able to get dual VOLTE feature on both SIMs (assuming it supported by carrier(s), and phone shows VOLTE icon on both SIMs). in the event you are making call on SIM 1 & trying to get data on SIM 2 or vice versa, this requires dual sims dual volte (DSDV) feature kicks in and liberates you to choose which SIM to get data from.
might really want to consult with your carrier(s) if both SIM support VOLTE.
Are you able to get VoLTE and WiFi calling to work on the international dual sim F variant of Note-9 on US T-mobile network?

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
Could you explain how dual sim works?
Does it work at the same time or have to switch between sim1 or sim 2?
For example
Use SIM1 one for internet browsing – somebody will call me on SIM1 or SIM2. Will phone ringing on both? Or for SIM2 calls have to switch to SIM2?
interested to know as well.

You have to turn call forwarding active.
Under sim card manager, lase section general you need to select dual sim always on. with this if you are speaking on sim one and you get a call on sim two it will come on sim one as it will get forwarded. so you wont miss calls from either sim even if you care on a call.
For internet both card slots have 4g but only one is active 4g and second will be 2g. you can select whichever you want.
I have N9208 and assume it is the same for dula sim Note phones.

So there is no way to get calls to both SIMs without calls forwarding?

Not 100% sure but don't think so mate.
You'll get calls to both sims when idle, unless you're already talking on one. That's when you need call forwarding, so you won't miss second call.
SM-N920?

It is sounds better
What about situation when use internet data? For example downloading file using SIM1? Can I still get calls to SIM2?

Yes. While downloading if you're setup to use data on sim 1, you'll get call on sim 2. When you pick up that call download will stop I think. Not 100 percent sure cause different phones have different arrangements... If your call comes on sim 1 the data will continue to download. Vice versa.

Hi. I have a galaxy note 5 dual sim (n9208) and when I'm on a call on sim 1 (configured as 2G), automatically i lose the internet connection in the sim 2 (configured as 3g/LTE, but my network is just 3G) and I stay without internet connection all the time while I'm on the call.
I have set the sim 1 only for calls (2g) and the sim 2 only for the internet (3 / LTE but my network is only 3g).
It is very inconvenient not to have internet connection while you are talking on the phone you can not receive a whatsapp or browse.
There is a way to solve this problem?
Thank you.
I have purchase the Note 5 Dual SIM. Both SIM's are active, one in 4G and the other in 2G.
I want to use data from the 4G sim (emails, browsing +Phone and text) and that the 2 G SIM should support Phone and text only.
My issue is that I am able to receive calls and text sent to either SIM, but if I try to make a call or send a text I am only able to do it from the 4G SIM. If I try to go it from the 2G SIM I get the following error "Mobile network not available".
It is not an issue with the SIM card as I can switch them back and forth and both work fine in the 4G slot.
Call forwarding is not allowed by my 2G sim network provider.
I can only make call if i convert it from 2G to 4G.

Please anybody can help.
I saw something a bit odd here. It says here on specs that secondary sim only supports voice but from what I know is that both SIM cards support data. Is there something wrong here? Do both sim slots not support data? To the best of my knowledge with this phone you can have two SIM cards and use data on both of them allowing you to download two WeChat apps and have two numbers for each WeChat account on one smartphone. Is this not the case now?? See link from HK below and look at the bottom of the specs page for supported bands on SIM card tray.

Hi
I don't have a second SIM handy but looking at the settings you set the phone with a default SIM for calling and a default for data. Makes sense you would have to do this. So outbound calls and default use of data is pushed through either SIM. Don't know if that helps....
Found a SIM and popped this in. I now have another option enabled which says switch data connection between calls. So the option moves the data to SIM 2 when taking a 4g call on SIM 1....
Dual SIM options
Single SIM only in Canada VOG-L04 model.
Hi,
I use dual sim and one is for phone calls and one for internet connection. When I make a phone call, there is no connection to the internet. Navigation with google maps says that it is offline and no messages or mails are received. When the call ends. The connection is working again. During the call the Mi8 shows 4G for both sim cards.
Is this a configuraton problem?
Hi!
There is not active-active SIM card slots, it means that if you do a phone call with SIM1, SIM2 will be off-line during the call.
Try this, go to settings and in the search bar on top write: unrestricted data
Open the menu, more, show system and find Phone... Enable it and try it again see if this solve your problem.

Try this: set your region to Hong Kong, then reboot your phone. Once it's on, go to the Sim Cards & Mobile Networks option and enable VoLTE on both Sim 1 and Sim 2. Then give it another go.
Hi, thank you for your replies. It works now with VoLTE, but only if the connection is set to SIM1. SIM2 is off during calls.
