I switched to the 'Simple & Clean' ROM...

...and the SIM Toolkit icon for the MagicSIM has disappeared, so I can't switch SIMs.

What is it that is missing or causing this to happen? It's a missing APK. So use Root Explorer to copy the file to /system/app and then all should be well - you don't even need to reboot.

XDA user 'ragab mahmoud' gave me the file on another forum thread, which you can get from this post or here:

PS - By the way, I was getting near instant helpful advice tonight up until a fairly late hour from Direct Devices / www.magic-sim.com. Can't recommend them enough for customer service.

For anyone on the fence about weather to get a dual sim adapter for their galaxy S2 (I know I was) here's a video I found on another post which shows how it works...

It's for the no-cut one from www.magic-sim.com

It's one of the best gadgets I've used and if you're sick of physically swapping your sim cards over every 5 minutes you'll appreciate it!

Anyway, that's my $0.02

Thanks @martincolclough!

Following your advice I ordered one myself and I agree, it's great!

Thanks again

Question: can you receive calls on both SIM cards no matter which is active or you can receive calls only on currently active SIM?

tnx..

No only 1 sim is active at a time, although you can set it up to switch automatically at a timed interval

can 1 sim be active for calls all the time and without internet access, and 2 sim for the mobile internet only (else calls not possible on that sim card)?

if i`m surfing on internet with second sim can i receive call on first sim at the same time?

Magic dualsim+3G

Hi Guys, I understand going between two sims, but i have a question about 3G, can you hardcode to use the 3G only from one Sim?
I want to get a plan and use 1 Sim only for 3G, another only for Calls, is this possible?

So I just ordered a non-cut dual sim adapter from http://www.magic-sim.com/ ...

Hopefully this will work in South Africa ( i live here :) ), also I wonder how long it will take to get to me. Oh well lets wait and see, I'm taking a risk here but lets hope for the best.

Will report back when I receive the package and whether it works or not.

Hi,
What version of android are you on?
I'm still on GB as I'm not sure ICS will work with magicsim.
Can you help on this?

Thanks,
John

    I got it from a UK ebay seller called "directdevices" on ebay. Yep it's the no-cut version.

    Drop them a line...they were very helpful.

    Hope this helps!

    The Magicsim switching works through the standard Sim Tool Kit menu. You can switch from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 1.

    Adapter works great, only "problem" is with the auto APN settings (for 3G/HSDPA connection). Android doesn't auto-config the APN settings (or at least it takes a looooong time).

    What I do:
    1. Turn off mobile data
    2. Switch sims through STK menu
    3. Turn on airplane mode
    4. Turn on mobile data
    5. Turn off airplane mode

    When I do this, the phone automatically configures the APN settings and the mobile data connection works like a charm!

    You may want to try ebay also worth a shot.

    Not with the Dualsim app. But I'm sure you could use an APN-manager and "lock" the APN settings, so only the one with a data plan can connect to mobile internet.
