[SOLVED] Need a Phone App Where You Can Set Default SIM for Dual SIM (Samsung phone on Android 13) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need a Phone App Where You Can Set Default SIM for Dual SIM (Samsung phone on Android 13)
When you Google for instructions on how to change default SIM for Calls or SMS, there appears that many Android Phones allow you set the default SIM separately for Calls and for SMS. Unfortunately it appears on at least US models of Samsung phones (at least my S23 Ultra running Android 13) you can just specify a default SIM for everything: calls/SMS/data. I want to use one SIM for data and one SIM for calls and SMS without having to remember to change the SIM in the phone or messaging app right before I make a call or send an SMS.
I've gotten around the SMS issue because my messaging app, Chomp SMS, has a DUAL SIM setting that will override the Android setting and default to whichever SIM you want to use when using Chomp SMS. (Of course this doesn't work for MMS as MMS uses data and it can't override the Android default SIM setting for data also so you can only send MMS using the SIM Android is set to us as default.)
So what I really need is a replacement phone app that has the same Dual SIM setting as Chomp SMS where I can specify when using the phone app what SIM to default to make calls with despite what the Androis O/S default SIM setting is set to so I don't have to remember to manually select the SIM in the phone app each time I make a call.

Found a solution for anyone running into this issue. You can download the app Multi SIM Selector and set the default SIM to be used and disable the manual pop-up. It also can allow you to select the SIM to use per call and then rembers to use that SIM when calling that number.

I have set my phone to always ask which sim to use while sending SMS or Call. The stock message app behaves correctly and asks everytime. However, GO SMS Pro simply uses sim 1 to send message.
for me too.
I`m usingLenovo IdeatabA3000 dual sim but Go SMS pro can not recognize which sim to use.
in Android 4.2.2 there is SIM management and we can define which sim for default but in Android Default Messaging App there is an option show which SIM to use if we define always ask option ticked in SIM management mentioned.
also default Android 4.2.2 Messaging app show an icon and name of the SIM used to send or receive SMS.
I need those option available for Go SMS Pro too.
please go SMS developers team released new version support Dual SIM devices as you asked users report after installing Go SMS pro.
I need it for LenovoIdeaTab A3000-H dual SIM.
for my Xperia M Dual, too
please full support all dual sim phones.
I wrote my request here.because Go SMS topic wasn't updated recently.

Can't change calling account

Hello,
I have a problem with my new OPX. I have a SIM card from Vodafone installed and set up a VOIP account from Browsercalls in the stock dialer app. Now I wanted to change the calling account to Browsercalls under:
Dialer > Settings > Call settings > Phone account settings > Make calls with
The default setting is for me Vodafone. If I change this option to Browsercalls or "Ask first", go back and go into this menu again it is always reset to Vodafone. No matter what I choose, my selection won't get saved. All my calls are made via Vodafone instead via VOIP.
The Browsercalls VOIP account itself is working fine. On my old Nexus 5 it runs with the same settings in the same stock dialer app without any problems.
I made a video of it for demonstation:
Has someone the same issue or does somebody know how to fix this?
I am using 2 SIM cards in my phone. I have problems with selecting to make calls from 2nd SIM. Sometimes the dialer asks me which one I want to use, sometimes not. In dialer itself if I choose 2nd SIM (green button with number 2) calls goes from default one which is no1.
I think it is another ROM issue.

Da, fratele meu ...
Select from which sim you want to make the call it does not work anymore in OxygenOS 2.1.2, 2.1.3, or 2.1.3-x . Maybe in future OTAs ...

Question How to set notification priority by SIM?

I am not new to setting notifications on a dual sim mobile. My previous was a OPO 8T. I gave that up when Android 12 removed dual sim. So it seems that notifications default to Sim 1 on my S22+ and even if eSim is set as the priority, many notification sounds to to sim 1. Since Sim1 is my international sim, I only care about messages, and ring tone. But if I get a message on my eSim number the tone is the one set for sim 1. So fustrating and it seems Samsung should know how to manage notifications better.

Question Dual-SIM (pSIM+eSIM) Cripple Implementation (U/U1)

I have used a number of dual-SIM devices in the past, although none ever from Samsung until now. They have all been Dual-SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) implementations. Those significantly older devices though has a lot more control over how the two SIM's worked together and for different functions. The s23 Ultra almost seems like a step backwards in terms of a decade by comparison for dual-SIM implementation. The s23 Ultra only allows me to set a primary SIM. It doesn't ask which SIM I want to call from and just assumes I want to call from the primary SIM. With texts, MMS messages don't download from the non-primary SIM unless I manually switch the primary SIM to the other SIM. Is there something I am missing or just not familiar with how to setup a Samsung device for ideal dual-SIM use? My OnePlus 8T and Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 were vastly more advanced in their dual-SIM implementations.
Idk why you're not getting texts on non primary but I have 1esim and 1psim and I get texts for both and even send from both within seconds of each other. 1 work line, 1 personal line, I use Textra and it has an option built into the text box that lets me switch which sim I send from.

Regular texts are fine. It's with MMS that don't and won't come through unless I switch the primary SIM to the SIM with a pending MMS. I can't send an MMS from the non-primary SIM either. I have to switch the primary SIM to the other SIM.

Are you using Google messages app for texting? If so rcs might be your issue, the limited time I did use Google messages and used rcs it was buggy as all get out. I was getting regular messages days later instead of instantly, MMS would just have a button that says couldn't download and I'd have to tap that to receive MMS (which most of the time for me is group chats so then everything is out of order)
this was my problem on my old zfold3 so I switched to Textra back then (and still use now) and it doesn't use rcs (because Google hasn't released public API for it and only works with their app) and haven't had anymore issues with texts, MMS, or dual sims
I do use Google Messages but I have RCS disabled and RCS has never been enabled on my s23 Ultra. I still receive the "Tap to download" on the non-primary SIM and "Can't send message" when sending an MMS from the non-primary SIM.
I haven't used Extra in ages. The lack of customization has me favoring Pulse when using something other than Google Messages. I will give Pulse a try and see if that makes any difference.

I would just try a different text app to see if that solves it, also maybe resetting your APN settings? Idk
Textra in last couple years has a ton of customization
But I haven't used any other app so idk lol

I will try a few. With Textra, the last time I used it. It lacked the abilitity to set a color for each contact and there was no gradient color options and no HEX color code option.

As for colors you can set per contact now but no hex code though

That's a step in the right direction.
It is definitely a Google Messages issue. Using Pulse, it automatically switches the connection for sending and receiving an MMS message, even when the SIM isn't set at the primary SIM. I really appreciate the help with this, @spart0n! I text a lot and hate having my texts being unreliable in any way.
Thanks, this issue has happened to me a couple times now since my data SIM is my secondary SIM which has to be set to default and was really annoying me.
Its been a Google messages issue for as long as I can remember when using dual sim. If you're not using RCS, then I'd recommend samsung messages or textra for dual messaging. It automatically downloads without having to switch sims. I just enjoy RCS too much to go back to regular sms/mms
