The the default 2G services in the SIM card 2 on my Honor 5x stopped working. I can switch the card 2 to the 2G/3G/4G services via the Dual SIM Management feature in the Settings, but that disengages the 2G/3G/4G services for the card in the in the card 1 slot. Ultimately, I can only receive calls on the card pointing to the 2G/3G/4G services.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this?

Thank you!

Signed up my honor 5x on att daughters family plan and all goes well till we run out of data and I have to switch to sim card 2 thus turning the att sim slot into the 2g slot but what happens is I then get emergency calls only on my at&t slot. The work around is solved by going to the APN setting and doing them manually, 1st suggested Att phone didn't work but replacing with NEXGENPHONE on the first 2 lines did, I now can have data on sim 2 card and still receive/make calls and texts with no data used

I have to add that apparently it helped make it visible while I was on wifi, which takes the 4g off both sims as wifi is then first data source...once I left wifi location I am back on emergency calls only as sim 2 goes back on 4g and AT&T sim can't find 2g network, so it is an improvement but not a fix. Any other ideas?
