Mamy 2024 rok, dual sim jest standardem od dawien dawna, a Android (tym razem w wersji 15) nadal kurwa nie ogarnia tego 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jeszcze dobre 5 lat temu dialer od OnePlusa pozwalał na masowe zaznaczenie kontaktów i przypisanie konkretnej karty SIM do wykonywania połączeń i do SMSów, ale odkąd przeszli na dialer od G, wszystko szlag trafił.
Mając konta - prywatne i służone - z różną listą kontaktów, G oczekuje, że będę indywidualnie wchodził w każdy kontakt i wybierał dla niego domyślny SIM, bo system pozwala jedynie na 3 opcje - SIM 1, SIM 2, zawsze pytaj 🤬

First time trying to use dual SIM (for reasons I usually carry two phones instead) and I've encountered something so dumb and inconvenient, I suppose there must be a way to fix it, that I just fail to find.

The phone defaults to SIM1, calls, texts and data, as this is what I want normally. But when someone calls me at SIM2, it would seem natural, that if I need to call them back (by calls history, that knows, stores and shows which number they've called), the SIM2 should be used. After all, this is the number they know. But – the call by default goes out from SIM1 instead, I can only either switch SIMs after the call is started (dumb) or set “always ask” (inconvenient).

Any ideas? Should different dialer app help, or is it something buried in lower layers of phone stack?

@graves501 I know! 🫣️ I was just totally hypnotized with the Gigaset back then. Reasonably priced, more or less #green and #fair, with #dualsim, #replaceable #battery and even a #headphonejack. It just ticked all my boxes back then. And I think I plain forgot to think about the operating system for a moment and now "I have the salad". 😜️ But, ไม่เป็นไร (it's ok). 🤓️ My next phone will have to be a #linuxphone though. I'll just hold out till then, I guess. 😝

Hello fellow #Android people, do you happen to know of an app that allows quickly toggling one or both of my #dualsim #simcards on/off?
maybe even toggle with sim is used for mobile data with a single tap?
that still works with recent os versions and is still supported/developed?

(preferably free and open-source software, privacy friendly, no google services needed)

I couldn't find anything on @fdroidorg ... :BoostOK:

Continued thread

Did some more research and comparisons today into a new #mobilePhone after seeing the 8GB model of the #Xiaomi #RedmiNote11Pro5G on second-hand marketplace #FINN for about the same price as the #RedmiNote10Pro.
Unfortunately it looks like the camera chipset isn't as good as the 10 Pro's, and doesn't even support 1080p60 or 4K (though perhaps a #GCam port could solve that?) and has dodgy or no electronic image stabilisation.
It also looks like they went from a #dualSIM + individual SD slot on the 10 Pro, to a dualSIM/SD hybrid slot setup on the 11 Pro 5G instead, which is kinda disappointing.
The overall chipset seems to be a bit more powerful with better benchmark scores though and slightly better battery life...

One of the comments on Reddit described it a bit as follows:

"The 10 Pro is the best among the three. The successor of the 10 Pro is the 11 Pro+ 5G ('plus', not to be confused with the budget version which is the 11 Pro 5G)
Below the 11 Pro 5G is the 11 Pro. The 11 Pro is the successor of the 10S while the 11S is a budget version of the 11 Pro."

So, I guess my current pick from these #mobilePhones would be the #Redmi #Note10Pro then... but it's also not quite giving me that 'I want you' feeling.

I guess I can stretch the phone a bit longer and hope something better pops up, but I do kinda need something better before the temperatures drop, as the current battery does not hold a charge at all in cold temps... Like, it can drop from 50% to 0 in a matter of minutes.
