[Q][L5-E615] dual sim does not work properly - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My device is LG L5-E615 unlocked.
I've put 2 different operators sim cards into the device. The first slot sim is WCDMA and the second slot is normal GSM.
When I enable both slots, from time to time(like 10 minutes to 1 hour), the connection of the GSM sim card goes away and it says "No Service" and after a few minutes (2 or 3 minutes), the signal comes back. I'm not on the move and I have strong signal.
When I use 2 GSM sims, such problem does not happen. It only happens when one sim card is WCDMA and the other is GSM.
I've changed the slots (First WCDMA, Second GSM / First GSM, Second WCDMA), but it doesn't help.
Does anyone else have such problem? Any idea how can I track the issue and solve it?
Thanks

This is a known issue of the stock rom. Using two WCDMA enabled sims solves the problem. I doubt if any of the custom ROMs, of which there aren' that many yet, will solve this issue.
Note that while using two WCDMA sims, it is not possible to use 3G on both the simcards, one will always run in GSM mode only.

Hi there, thanks for this info. I currently have two sims,a 3 SIM and a Samba (internet only) sim that runs on the 3 network. My phone has the standard one sim slot GSM and other WCDMA.
I first tried my 3 SIM by itself in both the GSM and WCDMA slot and to my surprise it worked in both (in terms of 2G services). I thought that a 3 sim couldn't work in a GSM (2G) slot ? So I decided to leave the 3 sim in the GSM slot and then added the Samba sim into the WCDMA slot. However, when I turned the phone back on it connected to the Samba sim but the 3 sim said no network was available.
Any idea why this is ? Sorry if this has been asked before but I haven't been able to find an adequate explanation !

OnePlus Two - HSPA+ and 3G Data Connection Problem

Hi Everyone,
I'm usually just a reader on XDA, but I have found a problem that appears not to have been solved and wondered if anyone had any insight.
Problem Summary
When in an area (or network) with only HSPA and UMTS (strong HSPA/UMTS signal, but with no LTE or 2G available), the phone will drop from H+ to 3G erratically, always dropping the data connection. Traditional phone calls are not affected.
Detailed Description
I have a OnePlus Two and have 2 SIM cards. My first SIM Card is with Bell Canada (Virgin), and the second SIM Card is with WIND Mobile Canada.
Neither Bell nor WIND operate a 2G network, so the lowest the service can fall to is UMTS/3G.
Initially, I didn't notice the problem because Bell also operates an LTE network, and there is no problem with dropping the data connections when on LTE.
When I switched to the WIND SIM card (which only operates HSPA and UMTS), I noticed a problem where the phone would initially connect to H+, begin downloading whatever is needed (say, streaming music), but then part way through the download, the connection would switch to 3G, and the data would effectively stop. Within a minute, the service would jump back to H+ and download some more, but this cycle would continue (H+ --> 3G --> H+ --> 3G... ), with no way of knowing 1) how long the H+ connection would last before dropping to 3G (usually less than 30 seconds), and 2) after dropping to 3G, how long before going back to H+. This problem makes the phone almost useless when there is no LTE.
The most obvious troubleshooting I did was move to locations of better signal but I quickly ruled that out, as nothing seems to remove this problem. Other things I tried was to: move locations in the city, reboot phone, hard reset phone, flash most updated version of Oxygen, unlock bootloader, root, try the HSPA Keepalive app, swap SIM1 to SIM2, and many other things.
I originally thought this was a network issue, but I put this WIND SIM in another phone and there was no problem in any way that resembled this problem.
I also ruled out this being a network-specific problem, as I have taken a trip with the Bell SIM to an area where Bell does not have any LTE coverage (only HSPA and UMTS) and the same problem occurs on Bell as with the WIND SIM.
I have found people who had this problem on the OnePlus One tend to recommend using 2G to stabilize the connection, but this is not possible on Bell or WIND. That solution also would not provide adequate data speeds.
Remember this problem only affects data connectivity, as 3G traditional phone calls have no problems.
Question
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the conditions when the OnePlus Two will choose to switch from H+ to 3G?
Does anyone have any easier suggestions?
Thank you all in advance, because this rendering this phone almost useless when there is no LTE coverage.
I believe your problem is that phone it's dualsim standby, that means only one modem that alternates signal for both sims, I think normal would be alternating from faster network to slower network on sim without data.
Having to change to g3 between sims theres something stoped in the modem and data connection is also stopped.
You have no problem with voice calls because other sim is automatically turned off and unreachable.
There's nothing you can do if you're forced to only 3g on both sims
By 3g I mean 3g or h+ which to my knowledge are the same
Hope I was helpful and not wrong or more confusing

Thanks, I will try disabling the second SIM to see if there is a bug with the dual-sim...
What it currently does with the second SIM is it either shows "R" for roaming or just emergency only, but perhaps there is a software issue so I'll see if disabling the second SIM makes a difference.

Though strange, this workaround fixes the issue. Thank you to fburgos for the suggestion!
So just in case anyone ever finds this issue creeps up on them, the solution is to DISABLE the SIM you are not using. It's not the most convenient workaround to swap SIMs, but the other SIM will be in Emergency Mode, so it really makes no functional difference.
On the technical side, it does appear that there is actually a bug in Android for a very uncommon network configuration. It will only appear in this exact configuration:
SIM1: Network has HSPA/3G only, no LTE or 2G to move to
SIM2: Network also only has HSPA/3G with no LTE or 2G
The non-data SIM does NOT connect to a roaming network (connects with "Emergency Only") - if it connects to a roaming 2G network, this problem does not happen.
The data SIM connects to HSPA/3G
Both SIMs are active
I'm not sure if this will happen anywhere else in the world other than having a WIND Mobile Canada SIM and Bell or TELUS Canada SIM
If anyone has insight on how to report this to Google, or someone else who can confirm my theory, that would be great!
Try this:
1. You need to make sure you have the correct LTE APN selected in mobile networks and LTE as preferred type.
2. Go to dialer and type in this: *#*#4636#*#*
3. Phone Information
4. Set Preferred Network Type to: LTE/GSM (PRL) - you an play with which one you wanna use but the one I said works for sure. on other roms I have" TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE"
5. Now click TURN OFF RADIO and wait WAIT few secs. will that button turns to Turn Radio ON
6. Now TURN ON RADIO and wait
7. when u see the triangle for the signal is back, at least black , go down and lick SMSC REFRESH then UPDATE.
8. now just go back to APN settings and go into your LTE APN
9. Change Bearer to LTE

I have the same problem. Do you already have solved it?
I use only one SIM card so it is not a problem two cards.
really you do not have this problem? if no one knows the solution?
compared with my htc butterfly 2 and another low-end android, one plus 2 running latest Oxygen OS has serious connectivity issues. I compared the signals strength using same sim card in same location (including being connected to the same tower) and One Plus 2 keeps dropping the connection and has really poor signal strength. I have tried the *#*#4636#*#* and tried different network modes, but none of them are helping. Its a real disappointment that the basic feature of this phone is screwed up.
I have tried with CM13 as well. Any ideas if this is a modem version issue?

A2017U Dual SIM drops connection

Device: A2017U
Software: Stock, rooted (if it matters), B29
Sim 1: Tmobile gsm mode (connected to tmobile) for voice only
Sim 2: freedompop gsm/hspa mode (connected to att), for data only
Issue: Device keeps losing connection to tmobile when sim 2 is enabled. My immediate area has relatively poor tmobile coverage so keeping it in 2g (gsm) mode extends battery life. It'll stay connected for a bit, then drops, and doesn't regain until I disable/re-enable sim 2. I haven't tried disableing/re-enabling sim 1, but that may also work.
It seems there's some incompatibility when gsm mode is set.
I haven't tried swapping the sim cards yet as the freedompop sim has been removed from its plastic (both sim cards + sd card currently installed).
I wonder if the issue is because in general sim1 has greater priority, and is being used with a lower/inferior network standard (gsm vs hspa). When both are set to gsm/hspa, no disconnect issues, but signal is a good 10 db weaker on the tmobile side.
Thoughts?
Try flipping the sim orientation, see what that does. I'd also try to let your voice only sim camp on umts. Tmobile has been cannibalizing 2g and lots of the newer towers don't have 2g installed on them.

I'll definitely give that a shot.
Further research (tmo ........................ att ) , shows that tmo gsm operates at 1900 mhz, while att hspa also operates at 1900. Since the dual sim set up on here is active standby, I wonder if the different carriers operating at the same freq has something to do with it.

Swapping sims didn't change anything. Looks like I'll just leave it on 3g and call it a day. In fact, most of the usage is data, so the voice sim can be turned off most of the time. I use gv for my primary number, there's an immediate email notification for any missed calls even if the caller hangs up.

Problem with 4G signal @ Dutch vodafone 800, 1800, 2600 MHz

Hello,
I have the following problem: I can't get a 4G signal with my provider.
Vodafone Netherlands uses 800, 1800, 2600 MHz for 4G connection.
I have bought my telephone at flosmall . com
It should work, or do I forget something?
Can somebody explain this?
I had the same.
I tried some 4g signals apps to check my connection. This one seemed to fix it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcstealthapps3.networksignalsearch
Let me know if it worked for you!
I have trieded with the app but nothing changed.
But still on 3G...
I need to ask this.
Is your SIM card even 4G capable? If its older than 3-4 years it might not be.
I don't know anything about vodafone, but try googling, for one of my providers I actually needed to activate 4G on their website after logging in to my account.
Also. Settings -> Dual SIM & mobile networks. Is network mode set to 4G priority and Celluar data to correct SIM card if you are using dual setup.
Yes the sim card is capable with 4G (was using it on Lumia 950XL).
Have contacted Vodafone about the problem.
But the will only support devices that Vodafone Netherlands will be sell.
Have tried to flash lineage rom, but nothing change about the signal.
(stock Rom was from groschopp)
I also have a Le Pro 3 (x720) on the same network in the Netherlands and I have no issues with 4g.
I am currently using the Grossoshop-Rom (Build-number WAXCNFN5902011181S).
You can download several signal apps in the play-store to see if Band 20 is available to you, this is the one used in my region for 4g Vodafone.
I assume you set the preferred network type to 4G?
It's working now
Have called Vodafone again for some extra information about the frequency band for 4G.
But nobody could help me, there was one person that say i can give you a other simcard type maybe it will help. (I say how will it help if 4G works on a other phone with the same sim card, but let's just test it)
Afterwards the call, visited the shop for a other sim card
Doing the sim in slot 1 nothing changed, same 3G signal.
Was thinking this the last try and do the sim card in slot 2 and after 10 minutes i have LTE signal.
Trying slot 1 again but only 3G. changed back to slot 2 and solved.
Have earlier check slot 2 with me "older" sim card and only 3G was showing up.
I have noticed stock ROMs have better signals than say CM

You need to enter the APN settings for your provider's data coverage in the Mobile data section of Settings.

Are you on a custom ROM? Maybe it did something to the modem. If so, you need to return to a stock ROM and try.
The phone has all the bands it needs to work on your carrier, and my carrier as well. My SIM already had the APN settings for my carrier on it, and I connected to LTE right away on my x722. I'm on a vendor ROM, which is pretty much just stock eUI. I can't fathom why it doesn't work for you if you're still on stock. Have you tried the SIM in other phones?
I also have this problem in Romania with my LeECO Le Pro3, but with Orange 800,1800 and 2600Mhz. The only solution for this problem was to manualy search and select the 4G operator network. Although in settings/network operator it was on 4G/3G/2G(Auto) by default, my phone was stuck in H+/H/3G until i manualy search and select 4G. If you are sure your SIM is 4G and you have the corect APN you can try this but you will have to search and select for several times manualy to work. I find this solution very uncomfortable because every time you restart your phone or put it in airplain mode, you will have to repeat manual searches and register in 4G.
my x720 doesn't have the correct bands active. i activated them with qpst but only actived and running in sim2 (sim 1 actived but no gain lte signal)
ah! i'm on 20s

Dual sim fail

No matter what I do, I cannot get this phone to work with both my Verizon and TMO SIMs. I got this phone, above all others, for two reasons... dual sim and TMO wifi calling. Neither work, and I'm about to throw this thing out the window.
The phone works fine with the TMO sim in slot 1, but nothing works in slot 2 anymore. It just says "SIM2:missing or error" or something to that effect. I got it working for about a day with both sims, but the VZW sim would only work in slot 1, not 2. That wasn't ideal, but at least I was able to put the TMO in slot 2. Now, nothing works in slot 2, and the VZW sim will not work in either slot 1 or 2.
I was starting to think somehow slot 2 went bad (and it must have, if the TMO sim won't work in it... right?), but then why doesn't the VZW sim (which works fine in my Moto X Pure) not work in slot 1 like it used to?
I've attached pics with annotations... both from today, and from back in December on the one day they both worked.
Something to check:
Open the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#*, Phone Information, make sure the Preferred Network Type is set to "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)" (marshmallow) or "LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL)" (nougat).

Looks good to me. This is what I have:
EDIT2:
Something to try:
Stick your Verizon SIM into Slot1, leave Slot2 empty. Go into that 4636 menu and constantly switch between "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto", "LTE/CDMA auto", and "LTE-only". At some point (there's no set amount of tries) the phone will reset its modem state partitions, and should re-connect back to Verizon. Once it does, select "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto" and pop your TMO SIM into Slot2.

I'll have to try that tomorrow. What is tough is that at my house, I have zero Verizon signal. At work, I have zero T-Mobile signal. So I'd have to pull over somewhere on the way to work and do this. Still, it's worth a try.
I just read that 4G *anything* won't work in slot 2, but I seem to remember the day it did work, both SIMs had a 4G signal. Is there any truth to that rumor?

Slot1 is hooked up to CDMA, GSM/UMTS, and LTE.
Slot2 is hooked up to GSM/UMTS and LTE.
However, only one slot can be connected to LTE at a time. That slot will be whatever you specify to be the data connection in your Dual-SIM settings.
If you select Slot1 (Verizon) to be your data connection, it'll connect to LTE and CDMA, and Slot2 will connect to GSM.
If you select Slot2 (TMO) to be your data connection, it'll connect to LTE and GSM/UMTS, and Slot1 will connect to CDMA.

Dependant on the T-Mobile network he's on. With At&t, if you select slot 1 (Verizon) as your data you will get nothing on slot 2 as it converts slot 2 to 2g only and At&t removed 2g from their service. This is the issue I ran into with running a CDMA card in slot 1. 2 GSM cards works fine but once you run a CDMA it severely limits slot 2. Running data on slot 2 allowed Verizon to use calling and texts fine.

I took a ton of flipping back and forth, but finally got LTE working with your trick. I switched it back to LATE/GSM/CDMA auto, but it still says "missing or error" for the TMO SIM in slot 2.

thanks
I can only set the data sim to 2G/3G/4G but the second one is only 2G/3G (only need 2G but can not set it).

my second sim carrier only support 3G (voice and data - band 2100) and 4G (only data)
and from what you tell me it can work
on other dual-sim phones second sim can be only 2G
Where you from? 3G is quadband, so it will work, just maybe not in the USA.

Only one SIM can be set as the active Data SIM at any one time. The other SIM can still work over UMTS ("3G"), so the OP3/3T/5 are not affected by AT&T's 2G Sunset. You can still get the calls/text over UMTS.

If I understand you correctly, the data SIM is software selectable. This would allow me to switch between the SIM cards based on 4g availability.
PS Other posters seem to indicate that only the SIM in the first position can be used to access 4g.

Yes. On the 3/3T there was even a toggle in the notification/status bar to switch the Data SIM immediately without needing to head to Settings.
Could someone please confirm with a screenshot showing that the second SIM on the OP5 supports 3G while the first SIM is using 4G or 3G?
