First of all, a big thanks to all of you that put so much effort into this. Great job.
I have a few questions and some are trivial.
The tab works as a phone with my AT&T sim in it. Thats great. However, when I take the sim out and replace it with the original sim that has no service on it, I cannot make a call with google voice. It initiates than ends. I thought that GV used the wifi connection to make calls over the net and not rely on the sim.
This question is meaningless but I thought I would ask. I noticed that the graphics on the European firmware look really dated compared to those on the build before flashing it. Or am I imagining this?
Hey guys;
I'm here for a general question that I can't seem to find a solution phone. A little background:
I have two phones. One phone for work, one phone for personal. Personal is Galaxy S5 and work is Galaxy S4 Active.
I have two bluetooth devices a Martian Smart Watch, and an LG stereo headset.
The headset connects with two phones, but instead of both being default, there's a default and a backup, so if I charge, go out of range, turn off, anything, it becomes a pain in the ass to try to reconnect both. The watch is a smart watch, only connects to one device. So I'm looking into options to make two devices into one.
I've come across a few options. However, I've come to find issues with each.
Use a dual sim adapter-however I haven't come across an Active Dual Sim adapter. So I can not receive calls from both at any time, just the one that's active.
Buy a different model dual sim phone, but I haven't found a good reliable place to do this.
Try a "mirroring" method? I haven't found an actual solution for this, but it's a hypothis that something like this has to exist. Maybe an app on both phones, leave my work phone at home on the charger 24/7, and carry my personal. Any calls coming in from my work get sent through the app on my personal, and can make calls through the app on my personal that will show up from my work number.
Call forwarding on one device-but then there's no way to dial out or text from that devices phone number.
I've heard some rumors about google voice and porting a number over to it. Then using the google voice app to text or call. Anyone got information regarding this?
I dunno, I'm at a loss. Anyone found any good solutions for this?

You want a phone that has two SIMs simultaneously active. So do a lot of a lot of other people. But the phone manufacturer's must not perceive a large market for the demand as I haven't seen anyone bring a commercial product like that to market. There are dual SIM phones, but either one SIM is inactive i.e. you choose to boot into one SIM or the other. Or one SIM is GSM and one is CDMA, apparently for mixed-technology markets in China.
It isn't impossible. I know of a very small number of people running custom firmware that multiplexes access to the SIM, effectively checking if there are calls for each SIM in rapid succession. In effect that monitors incoming calls for both SIMs. But again, I haven't noticed any commercial models that do that. You should do a search and see if you can find a manufacturer with a true dual SIM phone.
In practical terms though, you could simply have your second number forward to your single SIM phone. The only obvious impediment to that is if your carrier plan has excessive call forwarding charges. Google voice is often helpful in this to avoid miscellaneous forwarding or airtime fees or for greater call management flexibility. You may not need a second cellular number at all if you can use a GV number for line two and then forward incoming GV calls to your mobile.

Phone: Galaxy S8 / SM-G950W
Network: Telus
Problem: This is the strangest thing I've ever seen! My phone is showing incoming calls from my wife's number and another relative as "Private Number". All other calls are identified correctly. Their network is 7-Eleven Speakout.
The strangest thing is, if i take my SIM and use it on a different phone, their numbers show up just fine. Also, if i put another SIM from a different provider in my S8, it also works fine. I even changed the SIM from Telus and got a new one but it didn't help. I've reset the network settings on the phone, reset the data on the phone app, nothing worked.
It seems that the problem only happens when I use my Telus SIM on that specific S8 phone!
Unfortunately, wiping the phone is the least favorable solution as it's not rooted and I have tons of apps that it'll take considerable effort to re-configure them. I don't backup to samsung or google for privacy reasons. Used to use TitaniumBackup, but since no root exists for this phone yet i cannot use TB in this case.
My question is: Does anyone knows the process of call identification on android phones and may have a good guess why such a behavior may happen? I have a bit of a technical background so i may be able to understand any technical explanation...
I need help on this, as now i have to answer any private number that calls me when i'm away as it could be a family emergency, unfortunately telemarketers and spammers are not making my life any easier and i would love to be able to block all unknown calls again like i used to...
Thank you all for your help in advance, this is one of the strangest issues i've seen and i only ask for help here after i depleted all other ways...
Cheers!

A friend is having the same problem, albeit worse - it's all incoming calls show as unknown.
Swapped my SIM in and it's fine. Swap back and it's stuffed again. The suspect SIM works fine in my phone tho.
Even got a new SIM and ported the number to it, but same problem.
Out of ideas to try.
Looks like it's time to replace the phone
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers Legacy app
With Huawei, Xiaomi, iPhone dual sim, and many other dual-sim phones, there's an option to enable data on the sim card a phone call comes in on, even if this sim card is not the primary data sim.
This feature would be extremely useful to me on the Oneplus 6T, but I don't see an option anywhere.
I dug through the settings database and so on and didn't see anything which might correspond to that feature, either.
Anyone know if there's a setting buried in there somewhere to enable this? The setting I'm referring to is called "Use mobile data during VoLTE calls on the secondary SIM" on Xiaomi devices.
I'm also looking for this option...

Same here as well. I have this issue and would like to see a way to get this to function. Do not know if it is supposed to work or not or if a tweak exists. I just got Dual VoLTE working and noticed this issue after. Didn't know if my tweak caused it or not. I'd even be willing to use a custom rom if it provided the function.
Maybe next version of OxygenOS will have that option...
Hello, please give a little advise.
I bought an UNLOCKED used Samsung AT&T S5e (SM-T727A), and another UNLOCKED used Samsung Sprint TAB A (2019) (SM-T517P) from eBay for my grandparents abroad in Argentina; mainly for the SIM capability to use with Whatsapp with me, and their grandkids all over the world.
I have no experience with LTE tablets, but have rooted phones here and there since 2012 thanks to you guys.
I feel very hesitant to root, or install roms on these tablets, since I won't be able to be there for them if anything happens, other than remote assistant pre-programmed for them to hit one button, but even then... the struggle a lot with basic things, and only know Whatsapp.
I have put my SIM card from T-mobile on my Note 8 here in the US on both devices, but although the T-mobile LTE text appears on top, none of the tablets changed Startup intro, or installed T-mobile apps/Removed AT&T or Sprint apps. The Sprint tablet shows an annoying Sprint OMADM notification, and the AT&T tablet won't let me use the dialer.
Both tablets can use LTE from T-mobile fine with great speeds, but need to use alternate dialer to make calls.
Should I install custom ROMS on these to remove their carrier's bloatware? Am I definitely tripping KNOX on them? Will installing these rooms, or unlocking bootloaders mess up with future updates, and leave my grandparents stranded?
Please help; what should I do?
unlocked AT&T Galaxy 727a tablet
I am wondering if you ever got a response to your questions? I too have the same tablet and I want to root it to remove the AT&T software because I also use T-Mobile. I am going to keep searching here in the forums. I don't think I want to flash a rom though as I kind of like the Samsung feel right now. Plus I only had it 2 days so far.

I am still searching, this is my first LTE tablet, and I believe we ARE NOT meant to use ROMs for the WiFi variant on it (maybe wrong), so that leaves flashing lots of ROMS out... there maybe a few out there, but I doubt many DEVs have these devices available to work on.
Anyway, I decided against flashing roms for now; my only problem with the AT&T Tablet now is that the default Google dialer will not work unless it's with AT&T, so I have to use third party dialers now... no good.
I read somewhere that you can change something called the CSC of the tablet without rooting or flashing, to maybe get rid of the AT&T bloatware, and maybe T-mobile bloatware will let me use Google dialer??? I will try putting my T-mobile SIM today, and do a factory reset of the tablet with the T-mobile SIM in it. This has worked for me in the past with phones by the way, but never tried tablets before.
I may also try using Titanium Backup, and freeze some of these apps, but that will require rooting I believe, and I don't want to do that yet because I worry that unlocking the bootloader will leave that ugly "bootloader unlocked" message on every boot.
luck?

Have you had any luck, I also have this tablet.
I am with the same problem, I have a Galaxy Tab S5e LTE tablet (SM727A), which is unlocked, but it does not allow me to make normal calls (like a cell phone) due to the AT&T call launcher. does anyone know any way to make calls? I have the tablet outside the USA
This thread is a year and a half old without an answer, doesn't seem right, I have similar issue why no answer?
I am in the US, and I can't get calls to work with Samsung s5e SM-T727UZKAXAA Unlocked Tablet.
Ordered this tablet for my elderly mother with the idea it could basically becone a 10 inch phone for her since she has serious difficulty seeing even the largest phone displays.
I took out her Motorola One sim and inserted it into the new tablet. After all the software updates were complete, I have network connectivity, data (seems slow tbh), and can eveb send/receive texts, but it will not receive calls? This tablet has that functionality, so I'm trying to figure out what exactly I'm missing?
I am using T-Mobile, and am on the Magenta MAX plan for all 3 of my lines including this one that I tried. Any help at all appreciated, thank you.

Buy a global version like SM-T725 to use full feartures.
Unlock version give you Data connection, sms, but you need connect to Samsung phone to call.
