Dual SIM cards undistinguishable when unlocking both

  • /e/ version: 0.11-p-2020082870302-dev-FP3
  • Device model(s): Fairphone FP3

When turning on the smartphone you're asked to enter the PIN of your SIM card. But if you have 2 cards like me you have to enter both PINs.

The problem: Android doesn't tell me which card I should unlock first!

I have set custom names for both cards in the settings but they're not displayed after booting. You can see just the COLOR of the card which I never remember.

This is why I entered the PIN of card 1 for card 2 so I had to unlock it with the PUK. To avoid this dumb problem in the future, I set the exact same PIN for both cards so it doesn't matter which card should be unlocked first.

PLEASE make Android display the card's NAMES when unlocking the phone!
