FP2 should remember SIM-Settings in Dual-SIM Mode

[Michael77]

I use 2 SIM-Cards with my FP2 under Android 6.0.
When I turn off one of these SIM-Cards and turn it on again, the settings are lost.
I want, that the phone asks me which SIM I want use to make a phone call or send an SMS (in that cases, where both SIM-Cards are turned on).
Every time I switch off a SIM and switch it on again, the setting “ask ever time” is gone and instead the last SIM Card turned on is selected.

Use Case: I have a private and a business SIM. During the day I want to be asked which SIM I want to use. After work I switch my business card off and the private SIM is automatically selected. BUT when I turn on the business SIM again, still the private SIM is pre-selected, instead of the setting “ask every time”.

It is not a big bug, but annoying every day.

Hello
Yes that would be easier.
Or maybe just to be able to associate each contact with one of the SIM Card ?

That can be done by using an app.
Maybe you will find some hints in this thread:

FP2: How to use the Dual SIM feature?

Servus! Like many others I am waiting for my FP2. This will be my first Dual SIM phone ever, and I’m trying to get my head around how to use this feature. How will apps that link to the mobile number (e.g. WhatsApp - even if I never will use it again , or Signal) behave with two SIMs? Can I use one SIM as my business phone number and the second SIM as a private number, data plan on the second SIM only? Can I link the SIM to be used for outgoing calls to contacts, I.e. specifying per c…

and of course by searching for “Dual SIM” in the play store (i.e. Yalp via F-Droid in my case).
