it works perfect...
it is the cut version

are you shure, that you have the 28th? the 26th does NOT work.

you can see it on the front of the package:

on the right side you can read the following points (26th):

double mode function
invisible number
two sim auto switch

on the 28th at the same positions :

ultra slim chip
double mode function
upgraded 007 function

Simore Platinum working solution.

I made a mod.post because I reflashed my N900 and this didn't work correctly due to security reasons ....

(you have to xterminal and root access)

I bought simore platinum for my N900, but it didn't work.
I was realli angry about the support, they replied an absolutely unuseable answer for my question.

My solution (my college helped me a lot)

Manual method:

1.
dial #11 to activate SIM1 (you got general error, no problem)
(or dial #22 for SIM2)

2. root shell and kill csd
(xterminal and sudo -s probably)
killall csd

After that N900 will ask your pin code (if is set) and register the new card. It takes some seconds.

Automatic mode:

1. edit a script: /usr/bin/changesim :

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --type=method_call --print /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$1" uint32:0
sleep 1
/usr/bin/killall csd
#end script

2. run right for this script:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/changesim

3. Create icons to apllications:
edit a file in /usr/share/application/hildon/sim1.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=Company
Comment=Company SIM1
Exec=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/changesim "#11"
Icon=general_synchronization
Terminal=true
Type=Application
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

4. edit a file in /usr/share/application/hildon/sim2.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=Home
Comment=Home SIM2
Exec=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/changesim "#22"
Icon=general_synchronization
Terminal=true
Type=Application
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

5. Two icons appear among applications and you can "Add shortcut" them to the desktop.

6. Enjoy! :-)
I attached these files, you HAVE to rename them
-without .txt
-replace "_" to ".".

Cheers, fido

Thanks, yes it does seems to be a 28th from what you told me, it could be something to do with the Three SIM (I don't really want too cut up another SIM to test though), since you've got yours working I'll have another stab at mine when I feel like messing about with it.

Hey fido.
Thanks for the hint with dbus command. I was aware, that there must be some command, but too lazy
Now I put all together in one script and execute it with DesktopCommandExecution Widget.
But, You do not have any problems with 3G data connetcions after a few switches (killing csd)? I do, so I posted an alternative some post above.
Like:
#!/bin/sh
#/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --type=method_call --print-reply /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$1" uint32:0
/usr/bin/dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --type=method_call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$1" uint32:0
sleep 1
#/usr/bin/killall csd
sudo ifconfig phonet0 down
sleep 7
sudo ifconfig phonet0 up
#end script

For me this works perfect...

Just to put here: The magicsim 23th cut works as long you have another cell to be able to put it in 007 mode.

Working for 6 months, 3g and etc.

Brazil, but it shouldn't matter, I guess...

28th works.
So mine is really magic, because I was able to connect to 3G with speeds almost as good as a 10mb wifi (almost inside the antenna, at midnight, but whatever).

hi there.

i read the same from some people here in germany.

i tried it and it does not work with 3G. i asked the people again and then they answer "it works, but only with 2G and 2.5G". magicsim gaves me the same answer.

:-(


after that i read that the 26th magicsim (advertisement said "first 3G compatible dualadapter") will work in the n900. with my simcards it works with 3G but i only could switch between t-online sim to the data sim from vf. but NOT back. i changed the sim cards, but same problem. magicsim gave me some solutions but none of them worked. so i used the 23th with 2,5G until last week....

the 28th works fine (for me)

maybe the problem is caused by the sim cards or the providers infrastructure.

just my personal experience

3G compatible adapters from magicsim

do you use a usim or a gsm card?

Both GSM cards.
Yes, I was taken by surprise too when I saw my "gprs0" connection going crazy, I thought I was connected to a wifi by mistake, but no, it was the 3g. It was just one time(well, an entire week) and weird, weird because:
My carrier "gives" free low speed connection, and you can buy MBs in bigger speeds. Even buying it didn't work for me, so I gave up and used the low speed one, BUT, when I was in a Hospital (no, it did not connect to the hospital's wifi), that's close to an antenna, I started to receive all the MBs I've bought since I bought the sim card, all at once.

Well, I should have taken a snapshot, but now all that I have is one with th edataplan monitor showing 1gb downloaded via carrier data... not much appealing.

I'm sorry I cannot provide proof, just a testimony. I still have the 23th box and the 1gb snapshot, but it wouldn't prove much |:/

hi.

there is nothing to prove. i will only show that the 23th will not work with all cards with 3G. if it works with your cards, it is good for you.

the 28th work in my n900 with my cards, also the GDI3SG. with the GDI3SG i ve got some probs with switching, but it works, when u use some terminal commands. the 28th works without terminal commands.

peace
