Dual SIM adapter

Hi all
I been reading several old threads regarding dual SIM, but none with actual information about it.
Can anyone please recommend a place in USA to buy a working dual sim adapter please?
It´s for Raphael (AT&T Fuze) device.
Thanks in advance,

Bump!
Q&A great an experienced team!
Any comments?
Thanks in advance,

Hey Orb,
I didnt think HTC phones supported dual sim, ive heard of people trying with limited success.

Thanks timmy
I have read several threads regarding some dual sims working but very old ones, so I´m wondering if anything new has benn launched and how is working?
Cheers,

I had a ghost dual-sim for my Universal and Polaris.
It required cutting the chip from each of my SIMs to fit the adapter.
To switch from SIM to SIM, you either powered the phone off and on, or engaged flight mode for 10 seconds.
The biggest problem was that it wasn't 3G/HSDPA compatible. If you tried to catch a H signal, it lost the signal and restarted from G. In the end I had to disable advanced networks in Connections.
Now if a dual-sim that works with HSDPA has come out in recent months, I'm very interested.

Thanks ZenithUK
I´m looking for more comments from members!

Orb,
I have such a dual SIM adapter in use since one year now, and it works fine. See thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389928
When I bought it, I had WM5 on my device. Upgrading the ROM made it even better:
On my Wizard with WM 6.1, the OS detects the phone card in use after booting and makes the right settings after asking if this should be done.
On my Himalaya with WM 6.5 it works, too, but does not make the settings automatically. Most likely this feature is not implemented in the ROM I use (or in WM 6.5).
No idea where to get one in the States, but it obviously has to be the "Switch on/off" type to work with WM devices. The cheap ones you get on *bay will not do the job.

Thanks a lot for your comments mate!

[Q] What's the best Android phone with wifi calling

I get terrible signal from all carriers in my home. I want an android phone that has the ability to make calls over wifi.
So, which phone has the latest android build and the most potential for a gingerbread update?
Thanks in advance.

For the fisrt part of your question, any android that has wifi, and that can support the skype app e capable of making calls over wifi.
the latest android build at the moment (if not mistaken) is 2.2 froyo, although i think i have seen a leak of 2.3 (dont know if it was fake or not), cellphones that will support oficially are the high-end ones like galaxy s, nexus one, desire, desire hd, desire Z, all that have fast cpus and a lot of ram.

Recently,T-mobile launched an Androids Getting WiFi Calling phone,especially in carrying some features that in order to keep them connected to the important people in their lives where they work,play,life...

Right now...nokia phones have UMA..which can get you Tmo signal on wifi. Try Nokia E73...

Wifi calling on android does not do handover from gsm to wifi. Only Nokia and Blackberry does.

Is that likely to change eventually, or is it a hardware limitation?

i want to be able to use my simcard for 2g/3g networks for sms and gprs
but mine is not upgraded and as i know, it hasnt requeired hardware
now my question is, can i buy the mini-pci-e hardware installed on 3g xooms and install it on my xoom to operate my sim card? (as i found from other topics, 3g uk xooms can operate sim card for 2g/3g networks, sms/gprs)
is it possible or not? i want to use my 2g sim card for gprs

sorry, but didnt understand what you mean!
please somebody tell me, how can use my mz600 for gprs

Look trough this thread, initially it concerns a slightly different request but it provides a wealth of info regarding that slot and which components Motorola used. And after page 4 some people have the same request as yourself but there is no definitive answer yet.
Anyway, have a look:

nobody know
thanks for your reply,
i've seen it before, but nobody know the card installed on 3g motorola xoom
and nobody found a card that motorola xoom can recognize it and operate it

just found this www.roundsolutions.com/shop/en/OEM-GSM-GPS-Solutions/HSPA-Modem/HSPA-mini-PCI-Modem
has android drivers!

4g LTE SD Card?

Just wondering if there is such a thing? We all have wifi tablets but i'd love to get an SD card that allowed you to insert your sim card into it that would allow you to essentially have a LTE tablet? a plus would be if it had 32gb of memory also
anything like this exists?

i dont know what came of it but TMoblie here in the UK when they first mentioned their 4g plans said there would be a sim/sdcard (i forget which) that would have a 4g chip and antenna or something in it to make 3g 4g... never heard of it since though

An interesting concept, but there's not a single mobile provider who's going to let it pass into retail sales. Because if we could turn our devices into 4G by means of an SDcard, they'd miss out on all the oncome from all of us paying for another new phone/tab.
Also, you'd need a 4G data plan, anyway.

Definitely a cool idea, but never heard/seen of one. I was in the AT&T store yesterday, they have an LTE wifi hotspot device that was pretty cool, only 49.00 and would accomplish the same thing...

The TF700 doesn't have any radios for 4g unless your saying those would come in the SD card. I know they make USB sticks that will pick up 3g / 4g (at least I think) so maybe something like that would work

Don't count on it. It's more than just a sim to make it work with 3/4G. You need at least an UMTS module and an extra antenna. You should have bought the LTE version instead - you will never get "native" 3/4G on your non-LTE transformer.

In theory this is possible - there exists an interface that's electrically equivalent to SD, but supports much more than memory cards. It's called SDIO (see wikipedia article, I can't include links). Since the transformer supports 4-bit SD interface, it automatically supports SDIO. The only problem is the drivers.
Here's where practical problems start. The Linux kernel includes very few drivers for SDIO devices. So even if such device exists, Android would not be able to support it.

You've probably solved this by now. I rooted my Evo 4G and use the Cyanomod 7.2 tethering feature. It works great. I use my sd slot for data2sd.
How did you resolve this?

i would love to have one of those

ibiesio quick
That woukd be kinda cool, but I already pay for the fantastic privlege having (no to barely any) service for my phone (sprint. As someone who switched from verizon to sprint, DON'T. Huge mistake). My phone is the reason I dont take my tablet out of the house (where theres wifi) unless im going on a trip. I assume thats how it is for most people, which is why there most likley isn't a massive market for it. I could see it being useful to people who use tabs on the job and travel. Even then, nowadays theres wifi pretty much everywhere. The added security of 4g is a plus, though. VPNs are nice but are often slow and cause issues with google and such.

SD card 3G Huawei 2014
This product is hitting the market very soon... there are several articles already on this product.

USB 3G modem
For now you can use USB 3G modem. There is an application on the Google Play, that provides support for these modems. I have successfully tested it with Huawei E173u.

[Q] connecting a landline phone to my wildfire

Apologies if this has been covered before.
I have a disabled relative who is also partially sighted. He can use a large button landline phone with little difficulty, but is now moving house and has no landline socket.
He cannot see to use a mobile, I have tried to use large icons on my tablet, but that doesnt work for him either.
Is there a way to connect his familiar landline phone to any android based smartphone ?
I have seen systems like nokia premicell but would this actually function transparently for this application ?
I have also seen US systems promising the same functionality, but will they work with UK equipment ?
Thanks in advance
Peetee

You can with a landline phone that has call to cell via Bluetooth.
