Dual Sim not working. Only one sim works at a time - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After making some changes in service menu, i am unable to use dual sim functionality. I can use only one sim slot at a time. The other one shows no network available. Regardless of which sim slot i use. In service menu sim slot 1 can be set to any preferred network but sim slot 2 is stuck in gsm only mode. Manually searched for network but no network available. Flashed latest oos 3.1.0,still the same issue. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks in advance

Just restore whatever change you did in service menu and you should be back, you should not have played around in there from the beginning ?

Service menu doesn't have an option to reset to default and i don't remember exactly what changes i made. Yea i shouldn't have touched the service menu. If there's any thing else that can be done. Thanks for the quick reply

I think you changed radios to be only 3g/4g and your carriers uses the same band

I'm not sure what changes I've made but yes both providers use band 40 2300 mhz for lte. I've tried changing one of the sim to use only 2g so that both sims are on different band but still same issue.

If you are in an area where carrier uses exclusively LTE that's the problem, opt radio is dual standby it alternate between two signals in any of the combinations 2g-3g/lte but not 3g-3g or lte-lte

My phone was working fine few days ago. I messed up something in service menu, after that the problem started. I have set one of the sim to use 2g manually, still i can't find any signal and both carriers use 3 different bands.

Have you found any solution i am facing exact same issue after changing network band. please help

No wifi, no simcards detected...

Can you explain how it makes it work?

Here is a good read about such dual-sim issues (esp. posts #3,4):
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/dua-sim-detection-problem-only-one-sim-being-detected.430976/

I'm a noob with this stuff, I read that forum and I'm still unclear... Is there a work around or am I screwed? Is it the phone/Software or my sim cards?

Here is the solution
In order to solve the problem go to service menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* then turn off radio then select radio band 32 when it says successful, restart your phone and the problem will be solved
Say thanks at fb.com/suri131
You can contact for any other issue too

Finally solved the issue
I too faced similar issue and solved it now. I'll share my observations here.
I had 2 4g Sims Airtel and Jio. Jio for data. Both the sim's were working fine , once i went into roaming suddenly after that airtel stopped latching to network. Whatever sim slot i put my airtel sim it's not getting network if in the other slot Jio is there. I tried to use my airtel sim in other phones and it's working fine. I tried putting only airtel sim it's working fine in my OP2. I thought this may be imei problem and checked imei , my OP2 has both imei in it.
So now the fix part , for me 4g sim was working fine so tried fixing the other one in sim slot 1 i.e.. airtel.
*Install and open Shortcut Master(Lite).
*Menu->Search->Type "Engineering" -> Select "EngineerMode" from Search result (package name:com.android.engineeringmode.EngineeringMode) ->Launch.
*Click Network Set
*Click Sim Card Select -> sim 1
*Click Rat mode ->Select GSM only
*Click band mode->Select PGSM 900/1800
Now turn on Airplane mode on /off wait for a minute you should see both network.
Summary: In OP2 one slot will be 4g / other will be GSM 2g... So whichever sim is working for you don't change settings for that sim , play with the other sim for which no network is coming.

Hey man. Installed a custom based on android 12 and i'm not sure what happened but only one sim card was working. Used msm tool to go back to oos 12 and now only one sim card shows.
Was going to try your method but the "engineeringmode" does not show up in search.
Any suggestions?

please help me out
sorry for my english!
Jio is not fully supported on this phone, partly due to missing VoLTE support in firmware and partly because of how Jio doesn't support GSM/2G which is the standby mode for the secondary SIM as the phone doesn't support dual 4G mode. In other words, if first SIM is in 4G mode, second is forced to 2G, and this of course causes problems for Jio SIM.

Moto x pure not registering onto GSM sim

Hi,
I have a Moto X pure 16GB (xt1575) bought from USA. I used it on multiple carriers in USA and it worked fine.
I am on a visit to India, where I intend to use the phone for couple of months.
I tried with these networks:
CDMA sim (Operator Tata Docomo) - Network gets detected and sim is operational
GSM sim (Operator Airtel) - Sim is detected but doesnt get registered onto network
GSM sim (Operator Reliance Jio) - Sim is detected but doesnt get registered onto network, seems some problem with Jio network, they have additional things for VOLTE to work.
So, I am pretty sure, the handset is fine, changed the network settings thru the secret menu phone info, to LTE, GSM to what not. nothing works for Airtel Sim.
The bands do work in India and are compatible.
Any idea's what more can I do?

It does show the Apn, but the gsm service shows as unknown and network type as unknown.
Any users from India have any suggestions.
AIrtel and Jio work fine on the Moto X since many users here have and are using it with them, except the VoLTE part of Jio you have to use the Jio4voice app to make/receive calls.
Have you tried going into the Phone app, dialed *#*#4636#*#* and gone to Phone Info and changed "Set preferred network type" to something different?
Also, I think the Jio SIMs require a very specific registration process, going through several apps to get them working... check with a local shop.
Here's some snapshot from the menu screen and network finder applicaton.
I know the ans to this soln
i am a jio user and basically the problem is that mxp supports volte but the frequency is the main issue.. due to unmatchable frequency the volte ain't activated for jio
u can try t&t and Verizon sims volte is working on them but jio frequency is not up to that mark as mxp but an official nougat update might help the frequency to maintain and volte might get activated.....
so we need to wait for official nougat update only... trying romcwont work..
screenshots are here

Thanks for the response, I will wait for the Nougat update.
Does the same apply for Airtel also ? It shown network type as unknown.

Only one sim works out of the two!?

I have an OP2 OOS Version 3.5.6. My two sim slots are also filled up with two sims. So the Problem here is Only one of the Sim works at a time. Suppose if i keep the PREFERED SIM FOR MOBILE DATA as SIM 1 , the network of SIM 2 goes off and only SIM 1 is active.Vice versa . Please help me and as far as i remember i did not configure any unneccesary things. I am just noobin these stuff.TIA

You can't use two 4G SIMs at the same time.
The SIM not set as the primary (data) SIM can only connect to a 2G network.
It's always been like this on the OP2

I mean't to say that Vodafone is 4G enabled Sim. It is not mandatory that it should work only on 4G.
Whereas JIO is a Network Where 4G is Mandatory. BTW it was working fine for the past three months without any issue.
And I even tried Having Airtel as the 1st Sim and Vodafone as the 2nd sim (Vice Versa) it doesn't work..
I thought if i Factory Reset the phone the problem would be gone, but it didn't ! Probably i have to go to a Service Centre

If your JIO SIM is the primary SIM and Vodafone have a 2G network in your location, the second SIM should be able to connect too.
If it doesn't, something isn't right.

SIM Slot 2 - No Network

Hi Everybody,
I am stuck with my OP2 OOS 3.5.6.
So after i got the 3.5.6 i was not able to get VOLTE. So i found a resolution on the OP2 forum:
They advised to downgrade to 3.1.0 and then to upgrade to 3.5.6, did that and was able to get VOLTE, but another issue started, as in India Jio is a 4g service and I read somewhere that we will have to use it in SLOT 1 , so i did the same, and Vodafone in SLOT 2.
When i did that Jio works fine but there is no network for Vodafone.
After that i have tried the following:
*Selecting network manually.
*Changing the band.
*Reinstalling the OS.
*Resetting the network settings.
*Wiping out data and cache.
Nothing worked for me, can somebody suggest me something.

If you remove the Jio SIM and leave the Vodafone SIM in slot 2 does it connect to the network?
Does the Vodafone network support 2g?

You only answered one question!
Does the Vodafone network support 2g?
Does the Vodafone sim work in slot 1?
Does your SIM 2 have an IMEI in settings > about phone > status IMEI info?

Yes Vodafone does support 2g but when I select 2g and the Sim in the slot 2 it does not work.
Yes the Vodafone does work fine with 3g and 2g network in slot 1.
Yes the Sim 2 does show the imei number under settings.
You can select vodafone in slot 1 with 2g then put jio in slot 2 and select 4g as the 1+2 has dual LTE standby so jio should work fine on slot 2

Does really op2 has dual stand by, as I am not able to get volte and I have the Jio in slot 2.
Also I contacted op2 customer care and they mentioned that it will only support one 4g and other will be only 3g.
Does it work for you if yes can you please let me know what are the settings you have.

Dual sim standby works fine for me but I'm not a Jio user.
OnePlus support are wrong, If your data sim is 4g, the other drops to 2g not 3g.
Not sure what your issue is though as I've only heard of it affecting some (but not all) Jio users.

You both are right they did mention 2g,my mistake that I mentioned 4g.
Yes I got a few users who mentioned the same of not getting network in the second slot. I did got a hint from somebody that it might be an issue with the update and a fix is in the pipeline. But again its just a hint and not sure.
Thanks a lot for all the help.

Change your sim network type to WCDMA only and wait some seconds. Now you have 3G data! After your connection established change again sim network type to GSM/WCDMA/LTE or your preferred type and will connect to 4G. Many people have same problem but there is not yet solution. Need this trick every time restart your phone. I hope this helps you for now.
