I cannot see from the screen which SIM the incoming call is on. - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi I apologise in advance if I am posting in the wrong place or I'm just being a numpty.
I suspect it's me being dumb that's the problem but when someone rings one of my 2 SIMs in my Xiaomi Note5Plus with Global ROM from Xiaomi not flashed, I cannot see from the screen which SIM the incoming call is on. OK, I have 2 different ring tones set-up and that is fine but on silent/no vibration or if I miss the call, it's a real nuisance not knowing which SIM received the call. As an example, if I make a call to each of the SIMs from another mobile, then my phone just shows that I have had 2 calls from that mobile, rather than one call on each SIM from that mobile.
My old THL2015 did this automatically and so I could always tell what was going on.
The reason that this is particularly important for me is that SIM1 is for use by everyone who calls me and SIM2 is my back up line. If someone calls me, I need to know (if they are not in my contact list) whether this is a "real" call or a junk call on SIM2.
Hope all that makes sense and one of you kind people can suggest a Settings solution or an app please.
My thanks for any help offered.

I don't receive incoming calls!

So, with the stock root rom, with a few different roms, and even with different kernels and radios, I don't ever receive incoming calls (though if I make an outgoing phone call, it works just fine).
Anyone know if this is something I can fix? Or is it an issue on Verizon's side? They had to go through three 4G SIM cards before finding one that my phone could actually activate with, so I'm wondering if that's the problem.
Did you set up call forwarding? Try calling *73 as this disables all calls to be forwarded, and try again.
You know what? I think you might be right... before I got my Thunderbolt, I had an OG Droid set to forward calls to a different temporary number...
My phone is going through a restore right now, so the INSTANT it boots up, I'll be dialing *73.
EDIT
VICTORY! It must have kept the call forwarding on the line. Thank you SO MUCH.
you're welcome.

[Q] No incoming calls

I've had the Galaxy S2 for about 2 months now without any problems.
As of last Friday, I can't receive incoming calls. People who try to call me hear one beep and then they get my voicemail.
Outgoing calls work just fine, as does SMS (incoming and outgoing).
I've put my T-Mobile SIM in another phone and then it is able to receive a call. Another SIM in my phone -> same problem: no incoming calls.
So I figured it must be the phone.
Customer support has started an investigation but that can take up to 1 week, so I thought let's ask XDA.
Can it be a simple setting that I've accidentally changed? Pretty often when I take my phone from my pocket, the screen is unlocked so that could be a cause.
If anyone has a clue or an identical situation, please let me know.

Does your phone ring when a call comes in and also does it go straight through to your voicemail?

Straight to voicemail. But I've figured it out after 3 days
There's an option to automatically block all incoming calls in the settings. Must have accidentally been activated when the phone was in my pocket.

In my case, the phone does not ring when I get a call at all. I have searched hi and low and I cant find a solution. I have rebooted, i have reflashed, I have changed my ringtone and nothing seems to work, please help!!
Hello my girlfriends SGS 2 has almost the same problem it cannot receive calls sometimes even though she can call everyone. The problem seems to fix by itself sometimes and it appears random.
I read that there was a problem with the samsung galaxy s when using 2G/EDGE connection with data activated and the problem was that the user could not receive calls randomly.
Can you confirm that you are using 2G/EDGE connection and Data activated? I am also trying to find the cause of this problem...
Hope my research helps good luck and waiting for your reply. (http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...eive-incoming-calls-and-sms-while-using-edge/)
Later EDIT ---
She also has a vodafone provider but i have the same provider and never had this issue. Also no call filtering is done.
Make sure Call Forwarding is Disabled under Settings- Call- Call forwarding. And also try to delete the Voicemail number if you had set any.
Regards.
it's nothing Call Forwarding is Disabled related it is because of EDGE connection you can't have a sync or internet connection and while "dialing" data receive calls if you want to call anyone the network prioritizes and let's you dial whoever you want but it is not the same thing for incoming calls
^ Went over my head !
had the same problem in a bad 3g/data coverage area. solution was simply to turn data off and the calls started to come through.
turned data back on and now working ok.

Not getting missed calls?

Hey guys,
I'm with Vodafone (Australia) and lately I've been working in my garage a fair bit where I don't have reception. During this time numerous people have called me, however I don't receive any notifications of missed calls at all. And when I go into phone log it doesn't show any call logs.
Is this a setting on the phone or should I contact Vodafone to get this sorted?
Cheers
Good question Jonno. I'm also with Voda & honestly couldn't remember if this feature was working properly or not as I haven't missed a call for ages (people know not to call me at unsociable hours when I have the phone switched off ).
Soooo...I plonked my mobile broadband sim into my Nokia backup phone, turned my SGS2 to flight mode (to mimic not having coverage), called it from the Nokia & let it ring half a doz times then hung up.
Switched the SGS2's radio back on & haven't received a missed call notification (it's been almost 5 minutes). I've searched high & low thru my call settings & can't find anything that would turn such a feature on/off so I'm betting it's a network related thing. I'll update this post if the missed call notification comes thru at any stage tonight.
Yeah I've never got any missed call notifications with the phone. I have people trying to get on to me regarding some recent job applications so it's not very useful if I miss their calls and don't know who to call back!
Might try calling Voda tomorrow to see if they know anything about it...
Jonno...The thick plottens
I was ferreting around in the dialer/call settings & had a look at the call forwarding settings. Basically, forward when busy/unanswered/unreachable is set to that Voda number people who try to call you get when you don't answer & it asks whether you want Voda's "call catcher" to txt the person you're try to call to let them know they missed your call (with the number to call back on).
When I try to disable this feature on any of busy/unanswered/unreachable it tells me the network doesn't allow the feature to be turned off. So it seems Voda thinks their way of people being able to notify you by txt when you miss their call is the best way (only way by the looks of it) for this situation to be handled.
So I'd say people obviously haven't been choosing the option to send you a notification txt (via Voda's call catcher) and have simply been hanging up when they've been unable to reach you.
I guess the only way to get around this is to tell people to use the send notification txt option or to simply send you a txt themselves to say they tried to call & couldn't get you.
Unless you want to have fun calling Voda's uber helpful support ?

Looking for the same app but seems that there is no software for android DUAL DIM PHONES..in which call reject can be set on the basis of SIM
Is there any news or new application which can block calls on both SIM1 and SIM2 on Android 4.0.4? I've Innos D9 phone model.
So, now I'm using DW Phone and Contacts, and the incorporated call filter especially for anonymous blocking works ONLY when I disable SIM1 (3G slot) and SIM2 is active. Then filter works fine. But with two sims enabled - nothing works good. Some ideas?
AN

We had some problem. There is no application for android dual dim phones. But, for call blocking on my SIM 2, I use a Touchpal contacts (can be found market / google play), where every contact that I want to block must be set "redirect to voice mail". Try It, because It work and solve my problem to block on my SIM 2.
Reviving this ancient thread...
Root Call Manager by mdnsoft does exactly this. It allows rules based on (among other things) SIM for blocking calls. I have tested it, and it performs this task admirably, I was able to completely and silently reject all calls destined for one of my two SIMs.
Unfortunately there is another issue that prevented me from using it, while Root Call Manger was installed I was not able to receive any incoming SMS. But I can testify that call blocking based on SIM works great.
I too want to receive no call on my SIM2 but I want to make call on Sim2.
Sorry thread reviving here.. Is there any solution available yet to blocking calls based on sim ?

Yes, please read entire thread. The app mentioned by ThoriumPrime does exactly what you need.
Is it available on I phone dual SIM phones?

Question Receiving call on both sims at same time

Hello! As per thread title I was wondering if it is possible to receive a call on both sims at same time. To be more precise even while in a call on sim1, I would like to receive or at least being notified of calls received by sim2.
I tried some settings but nothing. Does it depend purely on the sims carrier or is it something at phone setting?
Thanks,
