Similar to my mirrorless camera with IBIS (Internal Body Image Stabilization). It's the lens shake rather than sensor shake. So I always remind my friends and even myself who have phone with OIS camera, don't shake or knock on the phone purposely (some people like to fidget with phone). Just imaging knocking the lens on table, it hurts.

It's the periscope lens that makes the sound. Zak shows this in his JerryRig teardown of the S20 Ultra. It has the same periscope camera lens.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Chipsadin:
Hi!

I have a 9t Pro that's rooted and have 10.4.6 for k20 pro.

I installed this right when it was released last year and didn't touch a thing since.

Now I would like to update to MIUI 12 in the most simple way, and also keep OTA updates even if it's rooted. Is this possible?

What method can you recommend?

I've always downloaded Samsung Visual voicemal from APK mirror for all unlocked samsung devices, even my note 10. I installed it fine on the note 20 but when i try to open it it says not supported. Any idea for a visual VM program? Voicemail is practically useless without VVM.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ramontomzer:
not sure if this is applicable for your situation but, i have a note 20 ultra unlocked (US Version) using google fi.

I downloaded the google phone app from APKMirror then installed (one of the newer apk's), set as default, then i installed an "android go" version of the phone app from APKMIrror as well, and now i have visual voicemail, it stuck after a reboot and is working for visual voicemail (transcript appears and seems accurate). It is a bit funky as it hangs when i try to play voicemails over the earpiece but it seems like playing it via speaker phone is fine. There is also a toast notification that pops up every time i open the phone app that says the device is not compatible and phone calls may not work properly, but it seems fine. YMMV!

Guys I've tried rooting the phone but after I flash everything, the phone refuses to boot into system.

I followed the guide here for flashing twrp and the files with it. After everything is done the phone just gets stuck on the main logo and boots into twrp again and again

I've flashed stock like twenty times and still whenever i try rooting, it won't boot into system.

What am I doing wrong?

After checking for a fix, I've looked for the XML but there's none. TWRP can't mount data or some other f@#$& error

So, I've read in several places the US N20U has eSIM. I see the eSIM control app is in stalled. But that's all I see of it. Even an article here on XDA says all N20Us have eSIM except Japan, Korea and China. Can anyone confirm? And if so, how? (I've never used eSIM)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] xicustompr:
Same here, I can't find it. I thought it will have an esim. This is an important feature for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] nrage23:
Probably as with the S20, It has eSim but it is not enabled. Apparently the US carriers wanted it disabled.

eSIM is CSC feature, In case it is disable then two possibilities to enable

1.If device is non rooted - Try changing one of available CSC that have it enabled

2.In case device is rooted you need a line to add/edit below line

interesting because my Snapdragon/ATT Note20 Ultra 5G lists 2 IMEI numbers on the box and the phone; however, a second nano-sim will not fit in the location the microsd uses.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Thank you Doc. It is crazy that Samsung has been saying they have to "enable this feature via software update" for S20 series in USA, when all they have to do is enable this one line in CSC file and push an update. ?

Apparently they have not enabled it for Note either. Apple/Google have no problems enabling eSIM so I don't get what is the deal with Samsung.

The second IMEI is for the eSIM which is like a virtual SIM. The phone will not take two nano SIM cards, it would only have one nano SIM and one microSD card but if Samsung enables eSIM functionality then you can activate eSIM as 2nd SIM card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
So you don't see this in Settings > Connections > Sim Card Manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dr.ketan:
I have earlier posted on xda and now really worrying

When i was digging over firmware, Surprisingly most of countries (in oxm) now mentioned under "single" in csc partition (now it is called "optics" including INS

So that means they consider e SIM as second sim and not possible to use two physical sim?

Yet I haven't recieved device so can't confirm this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] herpi:
I live in Europe in two different countries, so I have two fysical nano SIMS installed.

Changing my Voda NL ABO in Esim will not work because they told me that my separate data only card (which I have with no extra abo costs) in my Tablet will not work any more.

But question:

If I already have two NANO cards installed and add an extra Esim. will it work?

Can I use three SIMS together?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
A phone having two IMEI's cannot have 3 networks. So it should be limited to two only.

Clear. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] antisocialbratt:
Saw an article where someone tried two nanosims and esim together. So technically only two work at a time, you will have to disable the esim to use the second nanosim and vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
?With INS CSC, having August's "ATH3" build:

2 physical SIMs installed and if you try to add eSIM, it'll disable the 2nd network to replace it with the eSIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dr.ketan:
That's good. Still wonder why they moved all csc under "single"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
Yeah but it clarifies that 2 physical SIMs are very much possible with INS and putting it under "single" might be related to something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dr.ketan:
True.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Could it be because Samsung still makes dual SiM variants of their devices and having e-SiM active would cannibalize their own sales? Just thinking out loud here.

No worries, google resulted nothing, sending phone back. All i have found is that the 981u/u1 cannot be unlocked and all the root i have seen require unlock. So I cant enable esim which makes the phone a paperweight

Well I've changed the csc to true, installed the manager for eSim under priv-apps, and added a build.prop which enabled the sim manager. Once I go into the manager, I get an error: "Invalid eSim chipset. Do not use this device for eSim Test"

The esim IMEI is also UNKNOWN

The build.prop was persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds

The APK I added was EuiccService

Let me know if any one has anything else I can test. I really want to get this working if we can.

So I have a Note 10+ that does have physical dual sim ability. I recently bought the Note 20 Ultra single sim phone with the thought Samsung would enable eSim ability. I do understand this hasn't happened yet but I am wondering, if they did, how would I add my physical second sim card to the eSim? Would you be able to type in the ICCID number for the SIM? Would the new software create a new IEMI number and allow you to relate your SIM card info to it? I know the Sim Card Manager in the Note 10 doesn't allow you to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
You will have to contact your carrier to get the physical SIM converted to an eSIM. You will then scan a QR code to register it on your phone.

Guys did anybody actually tried to use esim on unlocked us note 20 ultra 5g? if not I suggest try first. I can't cz in my place no esim provider. I am on the move.

but i have this u1 model. it is single sim card model. has only one imei. no 2nd physical sim. but we have meid which is imei equivalent for esim. if *#06# showing meid this means e sim supported.

sim card manager is not there cz have only one sim no support for 2nd physical sim.

once you get esim you need to scan qr code then it will add to the system and will show up sim card manager. to manage esim.

you won't find it at the very first time. try to scan qr code for that and check.

once I can get one esim order I will try.

I tried on my 9860 and it doesn't list e sim under the same settings, but I have found esim in csc features file of wwd but set to false, when I set to true it still doesn't enable it, its in optics, configs, wwd idk there has to be way to enable all modem bands like a u1 and esim as they all use same modem, I spoke to qualcomm rep and they confirmed they only make 1 version of it the rest is done with firmware and software,,, i did didg around and found XML file that disabled qualcom sim manager and used different one, I have found my esim id in there as well I have opened every file in root in every directory.

I'm almost cracked it,trying to unlock modem,I I have lpa manager and euicc manager installed using google sim manager, I can pull up calling accounts now, I'm really close to cracking esim, but I'm also trying , I am going to try to enable the qualcom drivers and disable the Samsung drivers, after speaking to qualcom, they said their drivers allow every band and function to work, its Samsung that disables bands,

I found the file that controls the bands but I don't know how to read bianary files into text or if I can figure out what each band is in binary i can input the correct settings..... patience, I'm new to this and I won't give up until every band works and esim works.....ill keep posted,

I have idea to modify device id in my in file and then load different version software like cp file from xaa and sim manager from one with esim or I hope the qualcom drivers work....will see as I have time, I am using my 9860 as tesgt as my 986u1 is bootloader locked, I did try to load 986n but got errors and couldn't load cp file as it supposedly snapdragon and esim on... will keep trying,

lets beat samsung....we spent 1500 bucks for them to be our nanny and say nope you cant use this band...its not right

I got my Note 20 ultra US unlocked version (SM-N986U) recently. There is a requirement to register IMEI(s) of every device with Telecom Regulatory Authority and pay the taxes here in my country (Pakistan). I provided the IMEI written on the box, unfortunately the system generated an error saying "The phone you are registering is Note 20 Ultra 5G. Please enter Second IMEI". I launched a complain saying the system might have confused with the global Exynos variant. They told me their system is connected with GSMA and they will check with Samsung. Within 24hrs I got the reply saying your Second IMEI is: 358XXX. Where as my physical SIM starts with 356XXX. This does confirm the second IMEI is there, Samsung needs to just unlock it. What are you waiting for SAMSUNG???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
Unlocked US version is the SM-N986U1. The SM-N986U is a carrier version.

All the U and U1 version have two IMEI numbers, only the physical SIM card IMEI is active. The eSIM IMEI is deactivated on all U and U1 versions.

Only Samsung can enable it and the eSIM functionality. As of right now, they have not shown any plans to do so.

So that second IMEI on your phone is useless.

https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s21-ultra-5g/#!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
eSIM supported on some models, not all models.

We know the Exynos variants will most likely be dual SIM (two physical or one physical and one eSIM).

According to GSM Arena, some will be single SIM.

Can't say which as Samsung hasn't released full specs on each variant yet.

The Note 20 Ultra (U and U1 variants) have two IMEI numbers and the hardware for eSIM use. So it can be enable in the future.

The question is a matter of will they do it or not.

They did the same thing with the Note 20, but later revised the specs. I was pissed when I saw the revision AFTER I purchased the phone. Almost returned it.

Greetings from Mexico

I found this forum because I have the same problem as many here.

I bought a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5g Snapdragon version from the United States.

AT&T operator

However, he is already released in my country.

The phone model is SM-N986U1

I think it is the international version because it does not load any Mobile Operator Logo at startup (the box says AT&T)

Confirmed that two IMEIs come in the box and the phone is labeled with both IMEIs

But in the software it only identifies one.

I am trying to install the ESIM with no success.

The Exynos versions of my country do have that option activated, but they do not sell Snapdragon here.

Has anyone managed to activate a Snapdragon with ESIM?

I currently have Andorid 11

Bought S21 ultra because Samsung USA site says eSIM is supported.

I will return it if it is not supported. Samsung will have to deal with depreciation on the "open box/used" returned phone if the eSIM support is false advertising.
