Google store and Huawei? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any difference in the phone you get if you order from either source? Someone said the Huawei store ones may have dual Sim capabilities

There are 2 versions of the 6P. One for the US and one for the rest of the world. The only difference is the radios. Neither has dial sim. The sim tray looks like it could do dual sim but it does not.

It might exist but only on China or India markets. The rest of the world doesn't care to have two sims.

But Htc one dual sim exist. There is a big possibility that Samsung will follow the trend...(just rember that Samsung has S4 active experience so S5 is waterproof, and there is S4mini dual sim.
I don't live in so called mature market (us,UK,de,etc) but I live in European Union contry and I have a problem: I need to carry 2 phones all the time becaouse I have a phone from my employer and one personal. My employer does not give me internet acces. In that situation all my problems will be gone with a flagship dual sim...
P.S. I owned all the flagships from Samsung original S to S4, all the note series, xperia Z1 and xperia Z ultra and Galaxy gear. ATM I use S4mini dual for work+second sim for Internet and Z Ultra for everything else.
P.P.S. If Samsung will go out with S5 dual sim I will be the first to preorder.
Since Dual SIM is mostly popular in not rich countries that use prepaid those phones are usually low cost and therefore have low specifications that is why flagship phones like S5 will not have Dual SIM. Do you need full Dual SIM or you just want to swith between them. I am using dual SIM adapter.
I will not be a fan of S5 dual SIM. The S5 is perfect as it is. And having dual SIM will just lower its specs.
I disagree with your opinion. Tje chinese version of S5 dual sim is exactly like the international version. Too bad they don't release a international version...

Yeah! I saw it, it's only available in china Telecom

I'm also waiting for this phone to come out. I'm currently using HTC one dual sim. No complain about it except the camera. Hope Samsung S5 camera is better.
The specs are the same as the none dual sim. One thing we're not sure is the built in memory, it does not say on gsmarena.

Hello,
You mentioned a DS adapter. I take it that means you needs at least one SIM card spot available or is there an alternative. Such as a schematic for a HW setup that interfaces to the device without a slot available. I'm American with opportunities to work and live in Brazil. Sprint 's CDMA is ok for the US, but my SGSIII was not able to write GSM PRLs ( and function) and my phone was worthless there.
I was hoping that some commonality between HW revisions (every single business model supports this concept, why not here??) where Samsung could atleast use the same PCB footprints and populate components as needed for regional readiness.
Any ideas for my situation are welcomed... Or, should I say a univrsal situations.
In most countries the 9009 is useless as the 2nd sim is for CDMA only, we'll have to wait and see if china will release a 9002 version with both sim socket to support GSM and 3G.
The S3 (i9302), S4 (i9502), Note 2 (N7102) and Note 3 (N9002) all have the dual sim version, so I expect the S5 to have it soon.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems most/all varients will have GSMx on 1 and CDMAx (in my case) as 2 on standy by. I see SIM as the easiest way to switch between, but if carriers such as Oi (Brasil) has PRLs that can be first unhidden and then wrote as the radio it would solve some issues. I just believe SIM technology is simlplier and less work involved (to obtain the PRLs).
Since we can put our phones on other carriers Sprint to Verision for example, that should apply on supported GSM network also? I was just stuck on my Sprint SGSIII having no ability to deviate from the BS CDMA networks...

Sure the camera HW is better with stills and video (boo on the 1X zoom though). SW optimization (including Build Prop changes )and better applications will drive overall pix quality and reference. The question will be how much, my SGSIII is far better for both than any iPiece around, IMO......

if you want one to access the sprint network, I think you will have to get the phone from sprint, if they have one, the G9009 only support cdma 800 from the chinese provider, I think it's locked to the network.

Essentially I see that I’m forced under that scenario (which is fine), but just interested in knowing if it will internally support GSM on its secondary antenna and how versatile (will it support in PRL (or equal) development on most or all GSM supported networks, specifically Brazil and Italy) it will be. Also the difficulty to change between 1 &2, if there is any. Thanks

These are the actual bands for the g9009 on the china telecom network.
sim 1
CDMA 800MHz
WCDMA 850/1900/2100MHz will only pickup signal whiles roaming
GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
sim 2
GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
if you have used dual sim phones before, you will have no problem with this, when receiving call, it will indicate which sim with the icon 1 or 2.
when making a call through the dialing pad, there is a icon sim 1 or sim 2 to send.
when making a call through the phone book, as soon as you press the telephone number, there is a pop up to select which sim you want to make the call from.
There are other alternative with the slide down menu or through a widget.
all these are from my i9192, but should be the same.
hopefully they will bring out a g9002 version and not have gsm only for sim 2, but if this is for china market it seems to be the case, at present it seems like the i9192 (S4 mini dual sim) is the only samsung phone that support WCDMA and GSM in both sim 1 and 2 if i'm guessing correctly.
Here is that phone we dream of:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5_dualsim_version_hits_china-news-8222.php
However this phone will not see the light of the day in other countries besides China. Sad. I actually have some strong arguments against S5 due to dual sim adapter which I like to use. Probably using this adapter might affect the water resistance capabiluty. Since everything is so tightly packed under the cover when adding dual sim adapter there is a risk of leaking the water in since it might cause the cover not to close very tight. This is what I currently have in S4. So it is water resistance or ability to switch between sim cards. Choice is yours.
Questions about s5 dual SIM
Hi folks I have many questions....
Where as possible buy the S5 dual SIM?
The model is G9009D?
What the frequency for 4G/LTE? Here in Brazil the frequency is 2600.
Can I use both SIM card for GSM?
Has Google Play?
Has english language?

read through the thread, the info has been posted.
hi,
lets talk about the "D" (G9009D) I think its means Dual-Sim no more "2"(G9002) and it will be conflict with N9002 note 3 if thy use "2"
from my understanding this phone will work in china as CDMA 800MHz(using china telecom sim) and will work as WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz out side china if using any els provider sim.
please correct me if i am wrong,and if some can confirm

LG G4 "DUAL SIM" is real, and it's fantastic

Video preview: "Trên tay LG G4 Dual Sim - www.mainguyen.vn" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFox9eyOVVM
Source is a store in Vietnam: http://www.mainguyen.vn/lg-g4-dual-sim.html
Toward the end you can see "SIM 1" and "SIM 2" in the Android Settings "About" screen. It's running Android 5.1, and as far as I can tell it's otherwise like a normal G4. I want one!
Why it wouldn't be real? lol, btw i don't understand that language.
rumor has it that the G4 version for my country would be the dual sim variant too
i do curious about the model name.. and very anxious about the dev support
Indonesian LG G4 is 100% DUAL SIM
I'm so glad we get the dual sim
I wish we could buy dual SIM phones in the U.S. It would save many people from carrying a work and personal phone, or people could have two prepaid SIMs for those who primarily use one with the second being a better coverage but more expensive SIM.
Can't wait to get my hands on the phone, but gots to have the dual sim version so patience is a virtue...
Are both sims active? Looks like you can only have one active at a time.

How easy going to be the activation on different carriers?

Hello Guys, just wondering how easy this process going to be, im courrently on Sprint not sure if I just going to need to remove my sim from my iphone and installed on the Moto X and boob everything going to work, o we going to need to contact the carrier?

Should be the same process that you use for other Sprint phones. I believe you guys have to call Sprint and move your sim to activate. Read up on Nexus 6 activation. It should be the same.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
The best and quickest way to do this would be to take the phone to the store once you get it, let them enter the imei, etc. into the system, and once it activates (and it will, since your sim will already be in the phone...), that will be that.

I don't know about this device specifically, but I'm on AT&T and I've swapped devices by simply switching the SIM. Never had an issue with this.
ATT as well and can agree just popping in a existing sim no activation needed. Bought a micro to nano cutter to be ready for when my MXP get here.
I just did a chat with sprint asked for a nano sim they asked what phone told them they said no problem so it looks like this wont be to bad

Yeah you'll need a compatible SIM and you'll still have to get in touch with sprint to have them activate it to your line. I know for a fact the SIM that the iPhone uses won't work, the only compatible SIM that is currently in use on other Sprint models that will also work with the X Pure is the SIM the HTC one M9 uses. Just go into a Sprint store when you get your X and they'll have one
Since the phone is just getting out there, it's not officially sold through Sprint (or Verizon), at this point, the trickle down info the online reps will have is going to vary, and different and confusing things can happen. The simplest way for CDMA customers to get going with this phone is to contact them, either by phone or in store, and activate whatever they need to on top of whatever you put into your phone from your existing one. Note: this phone uses a Nano, NOT a micro, sim card. This being the case, unless you want to buy a fitter, or feel comfortable cutting your sim card to fit, it would be best to just get a new one. GSM customers (like ATT & T-Mo) do not need to worry about any of this (aside from Band 12/wifi calling stuff, which is way more advanced than this thread, but I'll be looking into....QXDM, etc...), since the sim card being inserted for the first time will automatically download all of the pertinent information to get you going .
I ordered a Sim cutter so I can just use my G4 Sim. Verizon is notorious for not giving Sims for devices they don't sell.

Why wouldn't your iPhone sim work? I have a Verizon iPhone, and swap my sim with all kinds of android devices nearly every day. There has never been a problem. They use the exact same sim card. In fact, it is already a nano-sim as well so it would fit perfectly in the MXP.

Let me start by saying I'm a technician at a Sprint store, yes that works on Verizon and any GSM carrier but with Sprint the SIM card doesn't carry your mobile subscriber identity it just allows the phone access to our 4G LTE network. So yes the X pure takes a nano SIM, same size as the iPhone but we have many different SIM card SKUs for all our 4G phones and ones that work with some are not compatible to work with other phones. As I already said the only phone currently on the sprint network that uses the same nano SIM that will also work with the X pure is the HTC One m9 SIM but even if you aren't coming from the m9 you can just go into a sprint store and pick up the specific SIM we have tons of all SIMs in stock in the back for these specific reasons

You'll need to provide them the ESN, they'll activate it to your line and also activate the SIM to the phone at the same time and pop it in the phone, they should know what SIM to use it was already mentioned in our introduction material provided to us, if the rep seems like they have no idea just mention it's the same SIM the m9 uses

I'm pretty sure that the US version doesn't support dual sim feature.

Damn this looks pretty cool though. I wonder if T-Mobile changed something the software to make this not possible..
Dual sim only works on international models that have two sim trays and two imei numbers. None of the US carrier versions support this.

Single/Dual SIM versions?

I've read that the phone will come in two versions, one without the second SIM card slot (but still the uSD). Is there a way to know which version will ship in Europe? You can see the versions number on the official website: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/mobile-phones/huaweip10plus-en-sup.htm
VKY-L09 is single SIM
VKY-L29 is dual SIM
I don't get why they would remove this functionality for some parts of the world.
A lot of companies are backwards having this hybrid slot, giving you the choice of one (dual SIM) or the other (single SIM + expandable storage), although they are stuck in the 2013 bubble...some companies have actually moved on from there, but I'm surprised why this has not developed with major phone manufacturers.

I received my pre-order yesterday, it's the VKY-L09 single SIM variant in the Netherlands, so I suppose the same is true for the rest of Europe.
I was speaking with a Huawei 'expert' at Carphone Warehouse yesterday, and asked about the dual/single situation in the UK. He said he has been told by an insider that a ROM flash wil be made available to enable the dual sim mode in single sim phones. He said the actual board and connector inside the phone are already in place, it's just the ROM that disables it and the sim tray that are different. He said his source said the ROM will be available in a month or two and the SIM trays will start popping up on eBay.....
Sounds like either the biggest marketing play ever to sell phones and hope no one really cares it doesn't happen, or Huawei realise the issue, and despite the UK networks not wanting it when they provde the phone to us, Huawei realise the potential of offereing a dual SIM option. I have to say he did not give me the hard sell at all, he said they only have a black phone in stock (and only one) and if I wanted white/gold (which I do) to wait a few days and try again. He had a P10 of his own, and was gushing about the P10 Plus like a schoolboy geek!
So there is hope yet!
Just been speaking to a senior manager at Huawei UK who picked up on this when I asked their Twitter account when the update would be available...
IT IS NOT TRUE the actual hardware is different with the single SIM version only having a single aerial so there's no way it can be flashed to make it duel SIM
WHy h why do sales people feel the need to say things that are not true!
Anyway my (probably single SIM) P10 Plus should be arriving today .....

What I'm saying is people at any company will tell you anything to stop tampering with it both software and hardware. I have a dual SIM firmware on my l09 edition. If i can get a dual SIM tray or nodded tray I'll give it a go. Until both phones have been disassembled and had a look then all we can do is hope and try

Just been speaking to a senior manager at Huawei UK who picked up on this when I asked their Twitter account when the update would be available...
IT IS NOT TRUE the actual hardware is different with the single SIM version only having a single aerial so there's no way it can be flashed to make it duel SIM
WHy h why do sales people feel the need to say things that are not true!
Anyway my (probably single SIM) P10 Plus should be arriving today .....

its possible, Chimeratool .com does that, once you have the hardware hint in form of the second sim slot on most Huawei. Its the first hint possible conversion.
thanks

So that means Huawei lied to me? I guess possible..... not wanting single SIM to be easily changed to dual SIM.
So ALL we need is the SIM tray? The hardware definitely inside?
Wonder which country have the L29. UK only L09, I am thinking dual sim L29 as it will come in handy to have 2 sim if needed.

Hi all,
I've get my P10 Plus in UK couple of days ago. I was really disappointed that model doesn't support dual sim. Huawei Support also told me that my phone is single SIM only plus SD Card. But when I took a torch and flash inside SIM card slot I can easily see second set of sim card pins right upon empty space in tray. So I think it's highly possible to change ROM only and get Dual Sim Version. We need to wait couple weeks to release files for both devices and than check that
If you rebrand to a dual sim model, you can use both sims. Many people reported success already. Google for rebrand huawei p10 plus -- most success has been reported if you rebrand to VKY-L29C636 version.
Confirmed, i rebranded and flashed the VKY-L29C636 on my single sim and it worked, the only thing that i lost is the theme function. Somebody say how can i fix it?
