Hello there is no subforum for NEW Honor 8 so I decided to write here. Do you know if Honor 8 has dual sim active like Honor 7 and Honor 6? I have read somewhere that Honor 8 has dual sim standby but not sure it is veryfied information?
It says on gsmarena; Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)
But I guess it's not confirmed info also.
here is the original Chinese web side.
Please scroll down to the SIM pictures!
http://www.honor.cn/products/mobile-phones/honor8/
there you can see the Chinese version of honor 8 will have 2 sim card slots
hope our version will have it also.
I know that there si two SIM slots, but the question is is it dual sim ACTIVE or dual sim STANDBY? The same problem was with Honor 6 and Honor 7 - wchen I bought them there was no confirmed information about dual sim ACTIVE - finally both Honor 6 and Honor 7 has got dual sim ACTIVE, so I hope Honor 8 also has got it

i do not believe that because HONOR is the cheep line of HUAWEI. I don’t think they build in two full modems for it. It would be the same as Honor 7.
One SIM for data transfer and one for talking. Hope you will understand my bad explanation.
I have both Honor 6 and Honor 7. Both have dual sim active for data and for colling. I use SIM1 with privat phone number and SIM2 with company number. In the same time I can coll from SIM1 and for example pick up the calling on SIM2. I can coll from SIM1 to SIM2 and it works. It means it is full dual sim active (two independent SIM cards for using in the same time)

try to use 2 x UMTS or 2 x LTE at the same time! I think to know that this doesn`t work.
Hi,
I also have a Huawei Honor 7 (chinese version PLK-TL01H) and i can confirm mine is NOT Dual Sim Active !
If I'm on a call with SIM1, DATA on sim2 doesn't work. So i think it is also linked to which provider you have and which frequency is used for which use.
Kind regards,
From the release key note that I attended, I did not see nor heard anything about it being dual active. But I can always double check with some others to confirm.
I will tweet Honor USA about it.
I have the US version of the Honor 8 and it doesn't seem to be dual SIM.
The SIM holder looks like this

typically on Huawei phones the SD card slot is the second SIM slot (you can't use both). the SIM would be oriented 90 degrees from the SD card, parallel to the first.
i played with an Honor 8 after the launch and thought i remembered seeing dual sim options, but that may have been my Huawei phone,

I've reached honor on facebook, not dual sim active, only standby
It says on gsmarena; Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)
The Honor 8 is a SINGLE SIM and not DUAL sim. This device only works with GSM carrier (ie: AT&T and T-Mobile). Sorry for the confusion. (NS)
For your info Honor 8 for USA market is a single sim, European and China, device's are dual sim.. Active or stand by, well that depends..
It's standby
My Honor 8 (FRD-L09) is a dual SIM active!
I'm able to call from one SIM to the second one. Talk is not possible of course, but the call is ringing on the second SIM! European version, bought in czech.

For those who have it, is it possible on the dual sim version that when one SIM is on LTE voice/data, can SIM 2 have voice on 3G? I have 2 SIMs with the same company but the company doesn't have a 2G network only 3G/4G LTE.
In the scenario you've described, SIM2 will be on 2G only. The phone is dual sim, active standby.
No way.

Ok, thank you. It's unfortunate that there isn't a phone than can do this yet. I'm sure there are places that 2G has been decomissioned and/or the company never had 2G
first time im hearing of a mobile communications provider not offering 2G tbh...

In Japan there's no 2G (GSM). So even if I have two sims, I can only have one active at a time.
ouch, thats a bummer! so did they already deactivate gsm in japan or did they always have a different 2G standard?
at least u can stilk use the second slot for extra storage, altho i guess u dont really need it, sporting the 128gb model

I'm looking into CDMA as a potential option for a second SIM.
Japan used PDC(TDMA) for 2G, but there is a CDMA operator as well. So it's something I want to look into.

If you are using international version:
The Mate 8 supports FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, GSM, CDMA2000, and CDMA networks for global roaming. Simply insert two SIM cards into the 2-in-1 card slot, and then specify the primary SIM card that is used for 4G services. The secondary SIM card can be used for 2G services.
consumer.huawei.com/minisite/worldwide/mate8/connected.htm
If you are using chinese version:
HUAWEI Mate 8支持全网通功能，全网通版兼容包括FDD-LTE / TDD-LTE / WCDMA / TD-SCDMA /
CDMA2000 / CDMA1X/ GSM 等网络。其双卡槽支持移动/联通/电信SIM卡任意两两组合盲插（电信+电信
除外），用户在手机界面便可轻松选择其中一张使用4G业务，而将另一张卡作为副卡。HUAWEI Mate 8还支
持将电信卡作为3G副卡。
*此功能仅限于全网通版本
consumer.huawei.com/cn/mobile-phones/mate8/perfomance.html
That's mean when the primary SIM card used 4G, the second SIM will use the 3G network. The Huawei hardware have some difference between international and chinese version.
so wait, let me get this straight: the chinese version actually supports 2G AND 3G on the second sim whereas the international version only sports 2G for the second sim? i like that

Yes, I double confirm from huawei taobao online customer service.
I recommend buy the china version hardware and use cyanogenmod rom for security reason. The mate 8 in china just 2999RMB.
well, for now i guess well have to wait and see if CM will ever come to the mate 8... the recent progress in bootloader unlock, TWRP flash and root is already a good start though
in any case, this is good news for all buyers of the chinese model wouldve thanked your post but ive reached my limit for today as it seems

No, I have the chinese version and if the primary sim is in 4G mode, the second sim will be locked to 2G only. However, you can swap these around, ie, make SIM2 4G, but this puts SIM1 into 2G.
thanks for that info, even though its a bummer which rom version are you running atm? also, do u physically need to swap out the sim cards or can u just assign the primary and secondary position via software setting?
I help you to check the problem, this is result:

this chinese means (全網通) just this one hardware version can support 4G+3G, but just support the one company (电信). This company use CDMA2000(EVDO) 180, 181, 189, 133, 153.
ah well, at least theres a simple enough mod in order to be able to use both a microsd card AND two sim cards

Both sim slot support 4g.
But you can have only 1 4g active at the same time.
If ur sim 1 is active 4g, ur sim 2 can only be 2g.
If you choose sim 2 to be ur active 4g, ur sim 1 can only be on 2g.

yes, but maybe not yes. because the second sim telecom is CDMA2000 3G that can 3G, if not just 2G.
Do you guys found a way to have dual sim AND sd card being used at the same time ?
Should I buy the international or the chinese version ? I need dual sim and the ability to switch 4G from sim 1 to sim2 using software (not hardware, I don't wabt to manually sitch sims)
Thank you

Hi all,
Since I am very interested in the DUAL sim version of the S7 edge, I tried to gain some insight into the availability and pre-order options. I have been struggling to find valid information as there's no / not much official communication around this topic. Using information on XDA and internet, these are my preliminary conclusion. The links to the sources are included at the bottom of this post. Special thanks to @NisseGurra and @spyderdreams.
Four DUAL sim models seem to exist, details below, one Snapdragon and three Exynos. Using information gathered and listed below you can match it to the frequencies used in your home country. My best guess for Europe is the Hong Kong model.

So does that mean that the dual sim phones will not have expandable memory (when used as dual sim)?

That's right. So you have to choose out of two options, a) one sim + SD card or b) dual sim without extra storage. I've read somewhere that Samsung decided not to implement Marshmallow's storage feature which virtually merges the device storage with the SD card. Official reason for that is that they think most of their users will use the SD card for file transfer between devices. If you were to use the 6.0 feature that SD card becomes part of the system (I think). Source: ARS Technica.
PS. Thanks for the better picture!
So that means I will need the 64GB dual sim variant. Unfortunately that usually has the most delayed release. I will follow this thread closely.

I already asked for more info regarding the second sim.
Here's page 18 from the S7 edge manual. Full explanation.
Got it. I saw the two designations on the holder and thought they'd figured out how to engineer that. Sucks if you care about dual sim.
It does suck. I'm actually re-considering how much I need the dual sim. I only use a second sim when roaming, which is less than 1 month/year in total. Might not be worth the extra wait, the extra cost, and the lack of expandable memory.
i navigated to the Canadian page ,
http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-s/galaxy-s7/hardware/
it only shows a sim and sd card , guessing that means no dual sim option here ?
Any idea if the global variant supports dual SIM?
Please any one tell me wich version of s7 edge will have dual sim ? And may i get s7 edge with dual sim option in india ?
They all have the option of Dual Sim, you either use Sim holder for a Sim and SD Card combo or 2 Sim cards. There is no guarantee that they will be bringing a 64gb version.

Dual Sim
Now my question is that a Dual Sim Variant will not have a separate Micro SD card slot apart from entering two sims.
It will be either you put two sims or 1 sim and micro SD
I'm looking to buy a new active dual sim phone. OnePlus is my first option, but I can't find any solid answer if OnePlus 8 has active dual sim capability in the US. I had a 6 and a 7 Pro and both had active dual sim. Did that change with the 8? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Single SIM slot here: OnePlus 8 IN2015
Dual sim working here. IN2013.
They claim it will be enabled in a future update, its been nearly 4 months. There is absolutely no reason for this in general and if there is a method to bypass this, i'd love to know. Bought it right from oneplus too.
i have in2010 chinese model dual sim does work in 4g however when i enable 5g it won't work until i disable sim2 and it only work in sim1 sadly
Thank you all for the replies. Much appreciated!
Anyone able to get this device activated on Verizon?
I am currently on the 6T and activated via Verizon, with CDMA less features fine. However, when I try to activate this phone online, I am unable to. I called Verizon to see if they have any ideas, and they said the phone isn't supported on the Verizon network, even though I know it does. I even asked them to do a CDMA less provision with no solutions.
My 8T and my wife's 8T are working just fine on Verizon. We came from the pixel 3. Required me calling them and doing the CDMA-less provision.
No native Wi-Fi calling or native video calling (which is fine, never used it anyway, always signal).
I don't live in an area with 5G, so can't speak on that.
I'm bumping this thread....
I have tired numerous times to activate this on Verizon. I am coming from the OnePlus 6T, and it works flawlessly for the last 2 years. At first I tried to activate online, and then tired call to activate.... None of the representative can activate it for some reason.
One rep said that as long as it's activated, then I can just put in the Verizon Sim and it should work.... but mine doesn't....
Do you guys think it's the SIM? I am hearing that there's a normal 4gLTE sim vs the 5G sim.... But when I popped the SIM back into the 6T, it works again....

Why do you need to activate it? Just put the sim from your 6T in and it should work fine. I had a 6T, then a 7T and now the 8T. No issues at all.
Put the sim in and reset the network settings. I used a five+ year old sim out of a Pixel XL and Moto phone before that. I messed with it a bunch to get low band 5G working and ended messing something up and having no service. Net reset in the phone fixed it. I didn't have to call in for CDMA-less. sms worked without it. It doesn't seem to use 5G even though it supports band 66 (which is my connection where I'm at), I enabled 5G manually and VZW turned on NSA band 66 recently. Typical VZW. Supposedly there is a 5G sim. I don't have one.
I'm getting 5g on visible, same speed as 4g

Yes you will need a 5G sim and call them to do the CDMA-less if not getting text. The first tech support guy could not do it (CDMA less). He had to transfer to level 2 tech (CDMA less). For the sim card, i bought a Note 20 ultra 5g and they require it. So just do it and see how it goes.

Looks like a regular visible sim card to me.
Nationwide 5G uses band n2 on the old band 2 cdma frequency. If you have signal you should have service if everything is correct. Our 8t is only connecting on band 66 using 4g.
Looks like Verizon is issuing Gemalto Virtual 4G 5G Interim SIM cards with 5G phones. I'm going to try to get one and test with the 8T.

How would I get this and/or ask for it. I already have a 5g sim card. Not sure if it's the one you stated.
It probably is the same one. So Verizon, OnePlus 8T, 5G plan and 5G sim? Do you get 5G service indicator? In the network settings is there an option for 5G or NR?
How do I know if I have a 5g sim? I just activated yesterday and got a new sim from Verizon.

There is no 5g sim. 5g won't work on Verizon. The phone is not supported for 5g on Verizon. But 4g/LTE works fine.
There is a 5g sim. Verizon support says there's one. An iPhone 12 we ordered on our account had one listed with the order. Yes the phone isn't officially supported but it doesn't mean it won't work for sure.

If you are getting 5g on Visible, why am I not on another MVNO- US Mobile. Any help from the community would be appreciated.
I got the phone yesterday and LTE is so bad. It is unusable to the point there's no internet connection at all.
I noticed its LTE bands kept on changing from 1 and 8. It stays at 8 for a couple of minutes where there is no internet connection.
When it switches to band 1, the connection is back and speeds are normal but the band goes back to 8 after couple of seconds.
I'm aware that Poco X3 NFC also has an LTE issue, will a software update fix this issue? Thanks.
Edit: My previous phone was a Note 8 Pro with the same sim card and same location with no LTE problems.

I inserted the sim card back to my old phone and LTE works fine.
There are different LTE frequencies. Some models may use different frequencies that POCO X3 Pro doesn't use...
And that may be causing issues - not because the phone itself, but because the LTE provider.
Isn't something easy to check, try see around the area if there is any "spots" of issues and contact other people in the same area to see if there are some issues around.
From POCO itself, i don't have any issue with the connection and i use it all day long (may be only my case, but is something)

Okay, I might also try to use a different carrier to verify if it's an operator issue. Thanks for responding.

I got the phone yesterday and LTE is so bad. It is unusable to the point there's no internet connection at all.
I noticed its LTE bands kept on changing from 1 and 8. It stays at 8 for a couple of minutes where there is no internet connection.
When it switches to band 1, the connection is back and speeds are normal but the band goes back to 8 after couple of seconds.
I'm aware that Poco X3 NFC also has an LTE issue, will a software update fix this issue? Thanks.
Edit: My previous phone was a Note 8 Pro with the same sim card and same location with no LTE problems.

What country are you located?... My X3 Pro I purchased hasn't arrived in the mail yet, but I own the Poco F1 and LTE performance works fine w/ no problem

I'm currently residing in the Philippines and the carrier in question is Globe Telecom. I was also not having issues with LTE on other phones either, only with X3 Pro.

Oh I see... That might explain things since I'm located in the US. I believe your LTE experience/performance is tied to the carrier you use and if the bands on the device are compatible w/ their service.
Just an update, a temporary fix I did is I disabled all LTE bands except for band 1 and seems to be working as it should it be.

I took mine today and realized the same problem. It also had a Redmi Note 8 Pro that worked normal. Even with VoLTE that I couldn't get on the Poco X3 Pro. How did you change the bands? Obs. I'm from Brazil.
I experienced the same thing in Hungary. I use 2 pieces of sim, the data sim if it is in slot 2 does not use the band that is optimal for us. It see, but you won’t be willing to join it if you have better signal strength. Placing the card in the Sim1 slot goes flawlessly. Try sim1-sim2 swap. -Sorry for my English-

Connect to b3 band only, it seems that b20 has a much better field strength.
I tried to flash another modem firmware anyway, it didn't work.
In europe I have 3CC B3+B1+B7 on Poco X3 Pro or any other devices also works B20.
Poco X3 Pro with X24 Give me record for this cell tower.
Signal is great very similar to Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 with uses Balong 5000.

Hi sorry for the late reply, the issue went back after a week I locked the bands. I ended up installing a custom ROM (crDroid) and it fixed it. Receiving messages are now instantaneous and LTE is working flawlessly.
My POCO X3 pro is back from repair, network issues. All they did was update the software. Today I bought a second sim card, in my country it needs to be registered for someone to work. Such a starter.
Since the second card was inserted, the network problems have completely disappeared. I emphasize that the second card still does not work, it is inserted and only has a range bar. I am waiting for confirmation of registration of this SIM card
