Hi All,
Just bought Mate 10 ALP-L09 via Vodafone (Spain) thinking its was dual sim version, both nano sims fit in the device but only 1st sim is working, Then I discover there are different sku's for dual sim version. Is there a way to activate this into a dual sim version via firmware rom upgrade?? Its been a while since messing with my phones

You can use FunkyHuawei to rebrand it to ALP-L29 Asia version, and both sims should work. However it will cost money to do.

I don't have a single sim device, so I can't be 100 % sure, however, based on my experience with other Huawei phones, if you use the rebranding tool, it should work to enable two sims.
Note that IMEI for both sims will be the same, which, depending on your carrier, may or may not be OK.

Ok..thank's.. maybe i will wait some weeks before making something wrong.
I have a mate 9 and had many trouble with it. So.. Huawei is very special... Better is to wait a little bit..
Tx for all

Hi there! I'm in the same boat.
Have you decided to try activating the 2nd sim?
How much will it cost to do it through funkyhuawei?
that means losing warranty, no?
This worked (by mistake) on my Mate 9, I just had to order a dual sim tray from aliexpress.
No idea about Mate 10 though
Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L09 dual sim
Hi,
I'm new on this site and I already have a question regarding Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L09 which I have.
I bought this device from someone and receive it by courier without box and accessories(knowing that). When I open the phone to see the model number, I was sadly surprised, knowing that I was ordering the dual sim version. Anyway, my phone is ALP-09, theoretical the Global version of single sim. Instead mine have dual sim ports, two IMEI numbers and working 100% in dual sim mode. Even I have seen couple of missing settings, for example, Dual sim settings and second sim Ringing tone, etc. I have read information regarding this situation and I understand that it's possible using FunkyHuawei or Ministryofsolution help. But, my question is: if the previous owner have made this operation and also change the sim slots, in order to physically have dual sim properties, why did not also change the model number, or this is not important? My concern is if I will be able to receive OTA updates in this situation?
Thank you in advance for yours comments and advises.

Hi.. I bought a mate 10 pro and had hoped to set it up as a dual sim device... Imagine my horror when I pulled out a single sim tray :crying:
If I buy a dual sim tray will the phone support dual sim or are there different versions of the phone.?
TIA
Look for posts on xda from funkyhuawei that mention about rebranding to a different model/version which will enable dual sim function.
Hi
received my Mate 20 Pro 256GB Dual Sim from Trading Shenzen.
So far great device, but missing Wifi calling.
There is no option to activate in settings.
My phone details:
Modell: LYA-AL10
Build Nummer: 9.0.0.161(C00E155R1P20) GPU Turbo
So maybe i had to switch to another firmware.
Wondering in hiSuite: Got information there that i have the newest Developer Version?
So can some assist / help to get wifi calling?
Or is it possible to flash LYA-L29 to this device?
thanks
I've never had WiFi Calling on any Huawei phones running EMUI or Xiaomi phones running MIUI but I am in the United States. MIUI doesn't have any option for WiFi Calling but maybe EMUI does depending on region.
You have the Chinese hardware version so I don't think you will be able to flash any international firmware on it but your best bet to find out would be to contact FunkyHuawei.
In case you haven't heard of them FunkyHuawei is a paid service many Huawei owners use to flash firmware updates, rebrand their phones to different regions, obtain bootloader unlock codes, etc.
I'm not personally endorsing the service (although I have used it) but the person who runs FunkyHuawei would probably be in the best position to answer your question since he reverse engineers the software on Huawei phones and owns Chinese and international variants of the Mate 20 Pro.
Can’t go from China to Non-China
Hi I have the same problems (want to move from Chinese LYA-AL10 to a non-Chinese version such as LYA-L29 for instance).
I ask FunkyHuawei and they replied to me «*cannot go from China to Non-China*»
If someone still manage to do it, please let us know !
Cheers
I have the lya variant I picked up in Malaysia on vacation. WiFi calling does not work with my T-Mobile (US) SIM card. However it does work when I had a Malaysian Sim card in it. The option would show up in the sim settings. From what I read WiFi calling does not work outside of Asia.

It does work outside APAC...I'm in Canada and while my provider (Videotron) has NOT enabled VoLTE and VoWIFI for this phone, I borrowed a Rogers (other CDN provider) SIM and VoLTE and VoWIFI were available. The provider has to enable these features for a particular phone.
Hello everyone,
i could take this phone as an upgrade with my current plan, however it is of course single sim.
In EU there are any differences in the hardware between single sim and dual sim (other than the sim tray slot)?
Thanks

I wish it was that simple, could use that functionality tbh... Unfortunately you can not convert a single sim card phone into a dual sim card.
This is because the phone lacks the necessary connections/hardware internally for dual sim card support.
When you check the specs on https://mobile.mi.com/de/mi-10-pro/#specs you can see, it is a single sim version. Is there a dual sim version?

it is a dual sim phone: https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/xiao...-128gb-chn.html?search_query=Mi+10&results=89
look where it sims sim tray.
Mi 10 Pro in Germany is Single SIM
Currently the Xiaomi online shop as well as Saturn and Media Markt are offering onyl a Single SIM Version of the MI 10 Pro
I'm 100% out of it. It's a shame that Xiaomi did it, what's the point? Juicy surcharge and now only single sim .. Megafail.

big step backwards at Xiaomi will definitely change the brand. I need Dual Sim now.

Mi10 in this video is probably a China version.
I can confirm it will be only single sim, even in Kong Kong they sell only single nano sim.

Cheers, that makes my new phone decision easier. It won't be a Xiaomi this time. ?
You can check some unboxing on youtube from Hong Kong. All Global version got EU charger.
It's been possible in the past to convert some single-SIM models to support dual-SIM (the P20 Pro L09 could be flashed to a L29 to support 2 Sims) - considering that this phone also does exist as a dual SIM variant in China, maybe it'll be possible to do something similar to enable dual SIM support?
It'd be interesting to see if the two modems required in this phone once we see a teardown of the global version. (would that even be visible? Idk)

Hi I live in the Netherlands and the pro version is listed as dual SIM in the title off the product.
I pre ordered this phone but if it turns out it's single sim I will return the phone.

I got the Global Mi 10 from GIZTOP and its only a single nano slotholder free, however the second slot is filled. Maybe "fluffy" can help.

This is disappointing Xiaomi. I will have to cancel my order. Thinking of waiting for the OnePlus 8 pro or just getting the oppo x2.
Hi guys,
Does anyone know if the T Mobile Nord N200 have dual sim support? The one I got from t mobile the sim tray only support 1 SIM and 1 microSD, it seems there is a filled in space in the middle that has a size for another sim, do you think if there is a Oneplus dual sim tray we can buy and use it for the N200 and have dual sim support?? Thanks!
If I understand it correctly it's capable of one sim and one esim. I could be wrong however that is the way they explained it to me.
I wonder if they will market an international version of the same phone like the 6T. With the 6T you can convert it by flashing the international version of the firmware and replace the sim tray with a dual slot tray.

The Nord N200 5G does not has esim. Just single physical sim

That could be. The TMobile lady wasn't the brightest person in the world.....
Spec on GSMarena says it's dual sim capable... https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_nord_n200_5g-10961.php
So I'm hoping the tmobile version retained that functionality just need a dual sim tray...
If it was just a matter of needing the tray, I think both IMEIs would be shown. However, only one IMEI is shown so either it doesn't have eSIM or a new firmware/ROM is needed.

Dual SIM works just fine on my TMo 8T with a single IMEI, tray replaced & rom flashed. So I doubt having 2 distinct IMEI is a requirement for dual-SIM support.
If I recall correctly with my 6t it did not show the second IMEI until I flashed the international version

Having only 1 IMEI should not generally be an issue. If the dual SIM tray trick works on the N200, then both SIMs will get that same IMEI number. As long as you use the 2 SIMs on two separate cellular networks - which is usually the most common use case for dual SIMs anyway - it will work just fine with that 1 IMEI on both SIMs. I think there are multiple posts on the other Oneplus threads on XDA about this working out for them, when the dual SIM tray trick indeed was possible for that specific phone.
I think the crux here is testing out a dual SIM tray on the N200. Since I am not aware of any dual SIM N200 version released anywhere in the world, there is no easy way to purchase an actual dual SIM tray for the N200. The best test scenario I can think of is for folks who have both an N200 and any other dual SIM tray Oneplus phone - like international or factory unlocked OP8 or OP9 - they can perhaps visually verify if the dual SIM tray from the OP8 or OP9 is the same geometric shape and size as the N200 tray (which already has a filled in dual SIM tray). If so, simply try the OP8/OP9 dual SIM tray out on the N200!
Anybody who has the dual SIM tray for OP8 or OP9 as well as the N200, who is willing to look into the above test scenario for dual SIM tray for N200, and sharing their experience with us?

not sure about OP9, but I can confirm the SIM trays for OP8 and OP7 (two SIM cards overlapped with chips facing outside) have different shapes from the tray of Nord N200 (SIM1, the potential SIM2, & MicroSD slots are next to each other).
