Schedule switch of Sims in Dual Sim

[HourGlass]

I use my phone for work alot and as a consequence has 2 Sims in my phone. It would be useful if it could be set by time, is this even possible. As in between 9am - 5pm it would automatically select one sim and then outside these hours would transfer over to the other sim. Also to be able to schedule different time windows on different days.

Hi, could you please share these two profiles with the community? I am asking you because unfortunately @HourGlass does not answer.

He did share the templates. Check macrodroid as per

"..

You can now access the 2 Macros created via templates on MacroDroid. Should be on there as 'Personal SIM Switch' and 'Work SIM Switch'.

Thank you guys! Silly me. I was looking in wrong place.

Ok, I have it, but it doesn't work. I mean- it does change default SIM for calls and text messages but is not able to turn SIM card off. I made my own macro which does it, but still it doesn't work if phone is locked.

Maybe you have any other solution?

[HourGlass]

Hey r3d1. So the Macros do work but if you interrupt the process whilst it is running it wont change it over. As long as your phone is not in use when running the macro then it should work. I am still working on an additional solution to this but haven't got very far with it currently

[r3d1]

Do you mean it does work even phone is locked and screen is turned off?

I double checked and it doesn't work in such case scenario (at least on my phone)

[HourGlass]

OK will take a look at some point. There must be a way for it to work when phone is locked. That may be a setting in macdroid to allow for changes to be done even when locked.

Hi, do you have any news?

[HourGlass]

Unfortunately not sorry

I would appreciate it if you would kindly send me the template.

I worked around this limitation by adding a loop at the beginning of the macro.

In this loop it checks whether the screen is on. if its on it exits hte loop and executes the rest of the macro. In the other case it waits till the phone is unlocked and then executes the macro.
