hi , 

on set mobile network , when there is multi sim slot devices like 2-3 sim slots , i think it default the set the mobile to the first slot sim   (if nothing is set) .

how do i make it to "set the mobile network" on ALL sim slots no matter if there is a sim inserted in .
i dont mind copy pasting 3 blocks for each slot individually . 

my problem is , i change sims from company quiet often for tests purposes , when NOT selecting any subscripion id "carrier" it default to first slot .

and i am afraid of it not working when selecting one carrier because i am swaping alot of carriers .

how do i set a GLOBAL network for all the phone no matter the slots or carrier .

(some newer samsung phones dont even allow - show 2G or 3G in their menu so it is very much needed)  
specially the one with 2 slot or more

when i tried to use a fixed carrier id , (currently i have on slot 2 a sim card , it showed me the number 6 .

so i copy pasted 6 blocks and put 1 through 6 , and it failed on the first one saying index does not exist ..

anyhow , i tried to be a smartass it did not work .

how can i set a global network on the whole phone ?

thank you

As the documentation say, "Subscription id — id of subscription (SIM) to change preferred network for, default is the system default subscription."
The Android API used requires a subscription. If you wish to change both subscriptions then use two blocks.

To be frank with you , i didn't understand what you meant or what to do . 

When selecting nothing in the subscriber id it doesn't pick the default sim that is inside the phone (if on slot 2) in my experience.. 

Im trying to understand what should i do in my case where i changes sims constantly for testing (different providers) on slot 1 and 2 without the need to editing the flow each time i swap a sim provider and slot .

Thank you

Then you can add a trigger to it flow with Key press block or other block you can use.

If volume up long press switch sim 1 else volume down long press switch to sim 2.

I suggest you always specify the Subscription. Especially on Samsung devices as i've those may not report the default subscription correctly.

I still didn't understand what to do .

I want to avoid selecting manually or touching anything or editing the flow each time i change a sim .

What can be done ? 

What blocks i need to use and how, to run the flow to change the network no matter what sim provider is there and what slot .


If changing the rom is needed , i don't care doing so .

A way to query the available subscriptions is a feature on the to-do list.
Until then the flow has to store them themself, e.g. after asking the user to pick them.

He could mean simpler way to change sim 1 to sim 2 without open quick panel or use float button too.

But it would need still pick sim manually either.
