can local set of s9+ do dual sim? or it just single sim with sd card slot?

I'm using the dual sim + sd card hack in my S9+ 128GB...

So far working fine just like my previous S7E...

Only thing is that my 64GB memory card is almost full, and I think need to get 128GB one for future proof~

Guys, just wondering any music player can recommend?

Using kuwo right now, but too bad due to it is a ahem version, and dunno why my S9+ cannot log in via wechat, so end up unable to create a playlist...

So now looking for alternative app which is more or less features like kuwo, but can allow me to create playlist....

P/S : I tried using the same version of kuwo in my Tab S3(Android 7.0), and was able to log in via wechat... So I suspect it is due to Android 8 problem with the ahem version of kuwo...

Guys, wanna ask anyone using S9+ here with Maxis line.

When in sim2, can get 4G. But put in sim1, max only H+.

Both tested in the same location.

Mine is the 1st batch. In this case, can we claim warranty for it?

If yes, what part will SC replace?

Off topic a bit guys....

Just wondering what is the cheapest method to buy hp accessories from amazon?

Being eyeing on some casing, but the shipping fee is killing me. Shipping fee itself is even higher than the price of the casing...

Seriously need some advice from you guys here....

The latest August patch stops the Dual Sim + SD Card trick.

So if you're using the hack, might want to put on hold for now.

Confirmed from XDA source as well.

WORKAROUND - XDA SAUCE

Anyone here with 2 simcard + SD card hack, updated with the latest patch can confirm this?

I'm using this hack, but yet to update. And luckily haven't update also~

I was using the hack but no since updated, I couldn't use 2 sim card + sd card.  cry.gif

I'm finding ways to bypass it WITHOUT root. Still no luck

Edit - Flash G965FXXS1BRF3 firmware with ODIN. Choose home_csc instead if you don't want to wipe your phone. Downgrade firmware back to June Security Patch is the only way

Gosh....

What about the workaround from XDA? Still no luck with that?

Nope. You need root access to push back the edited services.jar.

Looks like i'm stuck with the latest firmware. Couldn't downgrade either. Current firmware is using new Bootloader.  sweat.gif

Maybe can go back to SC & ask them to downgrade?

Gosh, I was about to update my s9+, luckily come here and get to know this...

Any chances that in the future updates, this hack will be make available again?

The problem is, without root....You cannot bypass this.

And you can't downgrade the firmware due to Samsung e-fuse.

Wonder will Samsung do this to Note 9 as well?

Sometimes I wonder why phone that cost this much, also cannot provide a proper dual sim & sd card support...

I think this is the latest updates for S9+...

Wondering anyone here updated? Just to check whether this update re-enable the "dual sim + sdcard" hack or not?

Mine still yet to update to the previous 4++mb update due to the restriction on the hack by Samsung. Would be appreciate if someone here can clarify this...

Thanks a lot~

Another update for S9+...

Those who are using sdcard + sim2 hack, care to share whether Samsung rectify this hack on this update?

I'm using this sdcard + sim2 hack, and dare not to update since the previous update restricted this hack on S9+....

Million thanks in advance....

i can confirm that the sdcard/sim2 hack still DOES NOT WORK!!!! and i don't think it will ever return because it is not an advertised feature. maybe it might slip in when Android 9.0 firmware is released, but i highly doubt it. Damn you Samsung.

but the trade off is that i get much better battery life with the new updates. so no choice, have to carry 2 phones since i need the sd card slot on my S9+.
*
Sigh, really no idea why Samsung set a restriction on this...

My S9+ is still on 1 June 2018, not yet update to the latest because of this restriction.

But strange thing happen after I change a new sdcard and relocate the sim2 onto the new sdcard, my s9+ couldn't detect sim2 at all....

And I just went to telco to get a replacement sim and need to redo the whole process of removing the chip again. Hopefully the new sim will work....

Frankly speaking, I think S9/S9+ suffer the most fastest depreciation as a flagship model~

Nope, I think is Note 9. After out within 1 month or 2, it is below RM 3k now, probably 2.8k or less.

I recall the RRP was 3.6k or so during preorder.

Don't think will buy the 1st batch of Samsung flagship in future, can't really accept the price dropped that much in just few months time~

Same here, i bought mine in March at Rm3999 and look at the price now  rclxub.gif

Perhaps we will have to wait for 2-3 months after launch in future.

Sigh, I bought my S9+ 128GB at the same price as yours.

Look at now the price for N9, this price can get N9 512GB with some balance too~

Anyone replaced S9+ battery from SC before? Wanna confirm will the SC just replace the battery only or battery + motherboard? If just replace the battery / battery + motherboard, will SC update the device firmware to the latest one?

I'm considering to get my S9+ battery replace since the battery drain kinda fast. But worry cause heard other saying that updating to latest firmware is a must by SC after such replacement.

I don't want the latest firmware due to I'm running my S9+ with the dual sim + sdcard hack. Once the latest firmware is installed, this hack will no longer work~
