I have been trying to use a dual sim adaptor with Athena but would not boot with it on. Anybody had any success? It will be great for me to be able to use both 3 and standard without removing the sim. it is a pain to remove it on Athena as this is under battery and sometimes needs a flat screwdriver to remove it...

Do you mean dual SIM or dual SD?
Dual sim of course not dual SD
Well, i've got an old DualSIM adaptor (anlog) which worked fine on my Himalaya.
My Athena boots without problems when i use this adaptor, but it takes me 3 or 4 restarts of the phone to get the DualSIM adaptor changin the SIM.
But i guess i have some issues with my SIMCards, they really look screwed up, makes me wonder why they work anyway
Maybe a newer Radio could have an impact on this Issue too.
Right now i use Radio 1.50 and AP Dual PK3.
If your SIMCards are screwed up the Athena won't boot, also my SIMAdaptor needs both SIMCards entered. With only one SIMCard in it, the Athena won't boot.
BTW: SIMDisplay (can be found on sourceforge.net) is the perfect Todayscreen Plugin for Displaying the active SIM.
I have one running but ...
finally I obtained a Simore dual sim working. But my problem is due I have one line for voice and other one for data, if should be possible to have some mechanism that in base to which sim is activated obtaining working the data connection or not. Do you know if it is possible?
Hi Beginner. Could you please post the model info of the Simore dual SIM you found worked with Athena? I'm currently looking for one. Thanks.

The Connection Setup Wizard will detect the network that you've just switched to and offer to set your data connection to match it. It'll do that every time the network changes.
If you're looking to buy a SIMore dual SIM adapter for the Athena, DON'T. The SIMore dual SIM won't let you connect to WCDMA network so you won't be able to use HSDPA or 3G!!!! I bought one from them and in the process of getting an RMA to return this piece of junk back to them now. Their online ad is fraudulent when they say it's 3G compatible. It is not. It only let you connect to GSM which only offers up to EDGE.
Is there any dual SIM adapter that will let you connect at 3G speeds out there?
PS: If you're only using EDGE at the moment and don't think you will ever never for the rest of your life upgrading to HSDPA, then by all means, flush your money down the toilet and buy this expensive piece of junk.
Thanks for the warning. Thought it was useful to have.
no dual sim
shame there is none yet. it will be great to have a truely dual phone. Networks will hate it
I think it could be posible but not easy to create a soft sim somehow. instead of having to change my three.co.uk hdspa compat sim between Athena (why the hack they do not do the sim reader as a slot accessible without removing battery) and my mac laptop is a nightmare. I tried to use Wifirouter, but it crashes athena quite often.

Under the factory ROM I never had it crash, even with hours of use at one time. I haven't used it under AP4 yet. Maybe you have a conflict with another program?
not installed anything apart tomtom 6 legal

Iam not sure what are you explaining.
are you using a dual sim system?
does it works? which is it?
thanks.
i tried using few none worked. I find very difficult in swaping sims without the add o a flat screwdriver, also removing battery is not fun.
I am wondering if it will be possible in developing a virtual sim card that will copy the info from our sim card allowing the phone to work with it?
Hello,
I have a dual sim phone, but use only one sim. Since I am now on vacation in another country I decided to buy an extra sim card, but they had only full-size SIMs and I needed a micro-SIM version. I then decided to cut one myself (with a scissor). It looks quite alright, if I might say so.
My phone asks for the pincode for that SIM (and only accepts the right one), but I don't get any receipt.
Now my question is: when your phone asks for pincode, doesn't that automatically mean the SIM chip is read?
Thus removing the possibility of a faulty cut, instead pointing towards bad reception and/or bad phone support for that carrier.
Sincerely David van der Laan
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to copy all the information stored on your SIM card to your phones memory and run it as a kind of "virtual SIM card" where your phone thinks it has a SIM but no actual card is inserted.
The reason I ask is because I have a T-Mobile G2X (LG-P999) and, as some of you may know, the SIM reader can become worn out and stop working on this model after some time. Mine is just starting to fail. Just to be clear, I've researched this particular issue and I know the things I can do to fix it; I'm not looking for advice on how to fix that problem.
It just occurred to me that If I could somehow copy my SIM info to the phone itself and eliminate the need for the physical card, I could bypass the issue altogether. It also might come in handy in the future if I ever had a similar situation. I realize it's probably a long shot, but I figured Id ask if anyone know if this kind of thing is possible? And if so, how I would go about doing it?
I recently bought the Huawei p20 pro (L09 single sim phone). I need to buy a new SIM tray for cosmetic purposes as the one I have is quite badly scratched. Would the dual SIM card tray fit and work just for use of my one SIM card? Struggling to find a single SIM tray online to replace it.
Thanks.

I cant think of a reason why the dual one wouldnt work. Just put 1 sim card on the spot that is placed on the single sim tray
Yes... I have a dual tray in my L09 w no problems
Edit: my bad, didn't realize how old this thread was.
I replaced the microSD card today in my WIfi model of the Tab S3. While I had the single slot tray (microSD card) removed, I looked inside and it looks like the contacts to read a SIM card are in there.
So I wanted to know if anyone has attempted to swap the WIFI model single slot tray with a dual slot Card/SIM tray?
Wondering if "maybe" the internals are in there and some software tweaks to enable it?
I am debating buying a dual tray online and testing it. But I don't want to end up damaging the slot.
I also checked the popular "teardown" fix it type site for the Tab S3 but I didn't find a video on the disassembly.
Thanks

The hardware won't be there even if the sim tray is.
