ATTN: Samsung Support and Software Update Leadership & Development Teams.


Urgent and very important issue, we have lost the TWO Dual (SIM1 + SIM2) two buttons for making calls & sending messages after UI 3.0 update !!!!


Please read below and see attached screenshots of the issue.


All the Samsung Customers invested $1000-2000+ USD in Samsung Dual SiN mobile devices, specifically because it was always productive to manage calls and messages with TWO buttons (SIM1 and SIM2). The Samsung One UI version 3.0 update has taken away this essential feature and made our user experience inefficient, very confusing and no common sense. I updated to 3.0 in January 2021 and it has been a nightmare for the past month. Very recently there was another update and I got excited and was hopefully that Samsung Software Update Leadership & Developers would have realized their huge mistake but that was not the case, and this major issue is still not fixed!!! 


Very disappointing Samsung - please fix this issue ASAP. There are many more complaints about the same issue on several threads and everyday we have to waste time checking and waiting for a resolution. The work around to go through menu options and multiple clicks does not make any sense. Also, another solid justification for Samsung to immediately fix this issue: Our Samsung Dual SIM devices connected to cars via Bluetooth and allowed us to be hands-free, however now for both Dual SIM calls and messages scenarios, with the two buttons missing, we are no longer hands-free, and have to stop driving / pull over to click on 3-4 options to manually toggle between SIM1/SIM2, and not everyone is going to stop driving / pull over for their Dual SIM calls/messages - this is extremely DANGEROUS!!!! Samsung should consider this if they want to avoid lawsuits and more importantly the safety of lives on the road!!!!


Here is another example of the nightmare user experience: At the time of typing your text message and before clicking send if you realize you are on the wrong SIM and try to switch over, then you get an annoying alert that draft message will get discarded (See 2nd screenshot attached) .....and if you dont want to discard your draft message, then you have to cancle, copy the text message and then switch and then paste the text message before clicking send...if you do not copy/paste, then you lose your text message draft.....this is absolutely ridiculous!!!! We use to have a choice right at our finger tips to use SIM 1 or 2 for calls and messages!!!! 


Finally, I tried speaking to Samsung Support live chat (Canada, US, Singapore, and Philippines) - and none of them are able to help, they just waste time with basic troubleshooting ie. Soft Reset. I request them to escalate this issue to their Senior Ranking Support Executives and Software Update Leadership weeks ago and no response....All Samsung Dual SIM device users are impacted Globally.

Nope, I'm not working for Samsung. The only person working for them on the thread is Keagan. Only moderators are directly affiliated with Samsung. Then you have ambassadors, those with a purple star. Then you have people with ranks like me.
Anyway, I doubt anyone here can help you, hence my request for that screenshot to get you in the right direction
And please don't be so condescending with everyone else. They're trying to help!

@CHMultimedia - OK, Thank you for clarifying the roles, definitely helpful as I'm new to Samsung Members Canada app and I apologize for being defensive, it felt like I was being ridiculed...anyway, I deleted and take back my previous comments.

Although I'm Canadian and since my Dual SIM International Note10+ is on Canadian networks (Bell + Rogers), looks like my Samsung Members app will only have access to Samsung Canada community....and no one here can likely help with this issue.....i will just have to wait for Samsung International Software Update and hope this issue gets fixed in the next patch.

final quick question....does anyone have any best recommendations on how I can roll back to previous UI (ie. 2.x) ?

Your device comes from Vietnam. You should post the request to restore that feature in that community but DO NOT REVEAL THAT YOU ARE FROM CANADA OR BOUGHT IT HERE!!!! They will instantly direct you back here.
Now I'll try to help you reverting back to Android 10 tomorrow if I have time. I have checked and it is possible on your device.

@CHMultimedia - unfortunately Im unable to find Samsung Vietnam community....depending on google link, I just get routed to Samsung US, EURO or Canada.....

Unil the initial issue is resolved via future Samsung update , looks like the only acceptable solution is to revert back to Android 10. Looking forward to seeing your recommended instructions.

From what I've seen, I'm fairly certain that CHMultimedia wouldn't be interested in the slightest. 

It appears that Samsung employees are bound to uphold the "party line", even when it may compromise their ethics.
