Z3 Dual - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got this device, model D6633. Seems that it's just the same as regular Z3 except for dual SIM card. I was wondering if root will be achievable on this model once its out for the single SIM Z3?
Thanks! Fantastic phone by the way. best allrounder on the market

As my experience with Note 3 Duos, there is no differences in rooting and recovery conpare to 1 sim variant.
Ps: is Z3 Dual enable HSPA on both sim, OP?

Im actually curious about this as well as I have the opportunity to get the Dual sim version but need to root

Where did you buy it? Online? I'm looking for importing it from Poland, the only European country who looks to be receiving it.
How's the dual sim's functionality? For example when you receive or do a call or a SMS, is there a button to switch lines or what? Where do you put the second SIM? Is the flap bigger? Sorry for questions, never had a Sony Dual...

The microSD card is moved next to the charger which now has a bigger flap. Both SIMs go next to each other in the right side flap. I'm only using it with 1 SIM card right now, but on the Call buttons and so on there's a small "1" so I'm guessing if I had two SIM cards there would be two buttons or some way to make the call from whichever SIM you want. You cannot also use two simultaneous data connections. the whole setup is pretty neat to be honest. Loving this, can't wait to travel now. lol.
I bought it locally (I live in Beirut, Lebanon) for 800 USD. Pretty steep but that's the way things go around here.

1. Yes
2. I'm extremely sorry, I made a (big) typo. I meant you CANNOT do that. post edited.
3. 16GB. The supplier said only the single SIM Z3 had a 32GB variant. he may be right and just as easily wrong.

According to this only the D6616 has a 32GB option. That's disappointing as the D6603 will be the 'mainstream' model.

Could you change your sim to sim 2 slot and test 3G/HSPA with your phone? On my Note 3, sim 2 slot only work in 2G/Edge mode.

how is the battery life on the dual sim version? is it similar to the D6603?

I got 7 hours of screen on time and 20 hours of standby and I still had 9%. Unreal. All this without even Greenify and debloating.

Oh I got the answer when OP did not answer my question . I'm looking to buy Z3 Dual in next some days.

That is inaccurate. check my post on page 1 containing a screenshot that clearly shows you can only use one SIM data connection.

Do you mean, that you can only use one connection at a time or that one slot is 2g/3g/4g and one is only 2g?

Are you going to import the phone from Poland by going there yourself?

He misunderstand my meaning. He installed one sim and don't want to change sim slot to test. As Z3 D6633 manual: only one 3G/4G connection at a give time but on any slot/sim.
My Note 3 Duos has 1 slot can be used as 3G connection, another only for 2G

I just ordered one from eBay. It comes from US.

Dual sim for our Unis?

Hi
Is there any way to have 2 SIM cards in our UNIĀ“s?
Gracias
been wondering of that too. just bought a second hand uni to tried out
I had one for my universal last year and it worked well.
It involved trimming your sim card a bit but it comes with a template to use.
I got mine form ebay and think it was called something like Ghost Dual SIM?
I see this:
http://www.simore.ch/
I think that it is serious product (you can ask the company for special test)
I have this and I use up to 5 different numbers with no problem:

No, I can't have connected same time 2 phone numbers!
But alternative (having one number each time), I have the opportunity to have up to 16 different numbers (and networks), in the same SIM card.
I change from one to another number, through STK service, menu.

Thanks a lot. What products did you purchase? I understood in the web that you have to move some data using your pc from original sims into the sim they provide you.
I don't want to use a cut sim...

I bought the 'Supersim 16in1 SIM', which comes with a blank sim card that can hold up to 16 numbers, it has the programmer which can read the original SIM and then copy to the supersim card, and the nessesary software.

No need to reset.
Just activate STK menu and choose desired line.
It supports UMTS (I don't know if it is the same or not as HSDPA)
Guys...i have checke Duosim and im impressed...
....but what if one of the local networks is 3G and the other is not?
please guys....any idea...
For that you have to have Duo-X2 (Cut sim) to use. This supports both GSM and 3G. I have ordered which is on its way. The supplier mentioned that both SIMs will be active with autoswitch function.
auto lock
i ve got a prob with ghost dual sim,
after using it, n still being inside my uni, sometime the device is auto locked with a password which i never have set.
only way to pass beyond this password is to reset the device.
any idea how to get rid of this ****.

[Q] Dual Sim on desire HD

Hi,
Anyone tried dual sim adapter in Desire HD ???
I want to use Dual Sim in Desire HD, need some information.
thanks
Have you tried DUO sim?
I have Ordered Duo Sim. Expect to come by next week. Just curious, if somebody has already tried.
dual sim adapter
I ordered this one http://www.mobileguru.co.uk/acatalog/Twin_SIM.html#a26 . Comunication with them is very poor. 1st one didnt work, had to get paypal intervention to get a replacement. Second one didnt work, just comes up on the screen 'INSERT SIM' Still waiting on a reply from them.
Just bought a dual sim chinese phone instead. Only use it with my worldsim while on holiday...not for a 'skank' sim
Please keep us posted on that DUO sim!!
I got a MAGICSIM 28th plus working on this. Took a little fiddling but it's working nicely now.

How exactly does it work ??
yeah id like more info too as i should be a proud owner of a DHD hopefully if it arrives tomorrow and will be looking for some sort of dual sim option
I would like to know if it works or not.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
It was pretty simple. You cut down your sims (which is dead easy and straightforward) then insert as you would your normal sim. Then a sim tool kit menu appears which let's you manage switching of sims etc.
Working brilliantly on my Desire HD now.
One thing to bear in mind is that the MAGICSIM item comes with 2 diff metal sleeves and you need to use the thinner one with the rivets in.
Hope this helps guys!
So... no 2 sims at the SAME TIME right?
No both sims arn't active at the same time. I switch between them.
Oh... Pointless

MagicSim is the best available in the market. Rest are just crap.
They still don't allow us to have 2 sims operating at same time.
So it's pointless I need to receive and make calls on both sims!
Need two phones really...
Hmm. shame we can't have two cards same time..
this ****ed up to put a dual SIM?
why would you need 2 sim cards on a high end phone?...
Better Dont use the dual sim adapter

@Topic: do you have any issues by switching between the sim cards?
when i swap the sim on the go, in have to reenter the passwords of g-mail, facebook and twitter? do you have something similar?

dual sim card arrangement question

is it possible to use one sim for data and a 2nd sim for calls? or do you need to switch from using sim A 100% to sim B 100%?
if so, what kind of device/adapter would be able to accomplish this
TIA

[Q] Nano Sim Card Problem

Hi all,
I am now the proud owner of an AM7. However, I have a problem! I cannot get the 2nd sim card to work. The phone only shows bars for the Micro Sim - the Nano Sim is not showing anywhere.
Is there something I am suppose to do to activate the Nano Sim or should it pick it up automatically? Also - I had real problems getting the Nano Sim to fit in the 2nd tray - it seemed a fraction too big. Did anyone else experience this??
Thanks!!

Hello,
Do you have the 16GB/2GB Ram or the 32GB/3GB Ram version of the AM7?
Based on the reviews I checked, the feature of using 2 sims is only limited to the 32GB/3GB Ram version

No I have the International 16GB/2GB however I am almost certain i've seen details saying the dual sim is available on both models. Personally not once have I seen anything to say it was only limited to the 3GB Gold version and I did alot of phone researching.
I really hope this isn't the case anyway!!

The nano sim is perfectly sitting in the tray. You should place the sim according to the cut side. The terminals of the sim should face above. May be your nano sim is not cut properly? Is this sim coming as nano sim from the company or you have cut it?
I am having the same problem in sim one. It was working well but now it is not detecting anymore. I think in my case the slot terminals have dislodged.

Hi and thanks for the help. The sim was cut ever so marginally to fit into the tray - however I am surprised I had to trim it at all? When I put it back into my company iPhone it still works. It certainly looks like the sim is sitting correctly but the phone has not detected it once. I'll try again later tonight.
I am concerned though that the 16GB/2GB International version does not support dual sim - only the gold 32GB/3GB version - but as I mentioned above i've never seen this written anywhere anywhere.
Do I assume there is nothing that needs to be 'switched on'??
You should see two sim toolkits in applist. Always, not only if there are 2 cards inserted. You could check build.prop and local.prop for dual sim entries. All should be true. And well 2gg model is single sim normally. Only Chinese models and gold model are dual sim. Maybe you could make it work with patching prop files.
I do have a sim toolkit app but it will not open. So everything seems to indicate the international version does not support dual sims. So disappointing - oh well...... ebay here we come...

It may be too late but in phone menu, could you try keying in *#06# and if 2 IMEIs display, then it should be dual sim.

*maybe* you'll find a model but its a long shot. Dual Standby is easy to find.
