[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mr_stoosh:
Just received the Pre order for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and as the title says it doesn't have E-Sim functionality out the box.

I spoke to two Samsung Customer service representatives and they don't have a clue. I got so fed up trying to explain that I simply can't scan the QR code and enable the E-Sim that I'm going to return the phone as I need a dual sim device for personal and business needs.

I am aware that the Fold 2 had exactly same issue but it got enabled via a software update but I can't hang around for a software update to be sent out as I need to active lines.

Very poor product support by Samsung and it has soured my experience with them. They should release all their devices with e-sim support from the start and not rely on software updates further down the line.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] BravoCharlieDelta:
if you are in the US, then eSIM is not supported yet.

when I contacted Samsung, they said T-Mobile USA (my carrier) needs to enable it. If i ask T-Mobile , they say that Samsung needs to release a firmware update.

I don't know who to believe.

It is extremely frurstating
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jtOttawa:
I wouldn't be so quick to blame Samsung - my understanding is that the lack of e-SIM support (or any kind of dual-SIM capability) in North America is being driven by the carriers. We're making progress though - at least now we can easily buy unlocked phones (or imported dual-SIM phones) which was nearly impossible not that long ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mr_stoosh:
I'm based in the UK and was informed prior to ordering the phone by a Samsung customer service representative that the phone would be e-sim ready.

There is quite a demand for e-sims in this country and we have a fair few phones that offer the service out of the box.

Just a little annoyed that Samsung couldn't get this service up and running on the device prior to release.

Nevertheless not my problem any more as I have initiated a return and will be looking to buy something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] InfX:
Just a side note, other US modes in the S20 series do not have the eSIM enabled either, and those hasn't been released yesterday. The only Samsung phone that seems to have eSIM enabled in US is the Fold. Bottom line is, don't count on this feature. Kinda hope to find a viable workaround on XDA or other forums. The eSIM is the main reason i don't hit that "buy" button on this phone just yet, i'd really like to have an eSIM capability on my next device (not for a day to day use, but for traveling purposes).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] maik005:
but here in germany it is normal, that every samsung phone that has esim also have it enabled.

Mine, from Spain, has no esim support and I also would like to have it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] maik005:
No.

Because there is no S20 FE (5G) with eSIM support.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] YYZviaYUL:
Sorry for bringing alive a zombie thread.

Do we know if the s20 FE will have esim support via software updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] InfX:
According to this (https://piunikaweb.com/2021/01/29/w...sim-support-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-in-u-s/), nope, and it will never have it in US. Now they say S21 may eventually get it. Bottom line is - forget about it.

[Motorola One Fusion+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vinkho:
Hi!

So, I've been a long time moto user, used the old G4 plus for more than 4 years (great phone!!!) and it served me well till I dropped it in the toilet (don't ask:laugh:), which is how I'm here.

Now this phone is a few months old, yet this forum is almost empty! Very unlike the G4 plus xda forums when it first released, which a few months in was filled with discussions, tips, guides and roms.

I wonder if motorola/Lenovo's abysmal track record since the iconic G3, and then the G4 has a part in this? I mean the one fusion plus is a great phone on paper, and I've loved it so far, but the lack of discussions and developer participation here on XDA can only mean it's not selling enough to pull in the elite crowd.

Is a shame too, I'm not competent enough to find ways to root my phone by myself, nor make/port roms for it. Coming to XDA has always helped me do that because of its great user base. The fact that this forum isn't where it should be for a phone this great is IMO largely Lenovo's fault in taking its user's for granted since the G4, making people weary of buying it's products even when they did finally put out a decent product in the one fusion plus.

Pity.

[Motorola One Fusion+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cameroncr95:
I hate to be this guy, but theres a good reason its not selling, and if its not the reason, at very least its a blessing. Ive had this phone for over a year now and its been the WORST phone I have ever had in my LIFE. The phone runs fine for a few weeks, then suddenly it becomes super slow. Facebook Messenger and Reddit will start randomly having problems loading messages and posts. Several websites including google discover app will start failing to show images. They just wont appear. Videos on many websites and youtube app will start to stutter or "Lag". I have NO idea what could have been causing this. I originally thought maybe it was a virus so I downloaded a couple virus scanners and checked and boom: Nothing. So, I factory reset and it worked for about a week and the same abnormal behavior started again. I then asked my sister, who has the same phone (who talked me into getting this phone) and shes having literally the same problems to a T. We dont know if its because of some update completely broke the phones ROM/OS or what, but the phone is an unstable broken mess right now. Nothing fixes it.

Also, that "Amazing" "Innovative" popup camera on both our phones occasionally gets stuck. You will open it to take a selfie and it simply wont go back down. The motor stops responding. Sometimes you literally have to FORCE it to go down which likely isnt good for the gears/motor. Its become so bad ive became afraid to take selfies.

I have used many Motorola/Lenovo phones and this phone is quite possibly one of the worst phones they've ever made. Let this be a warning to you if you consider buying this garbage. I didn't intend for this comment to end up basically being a review, but here we are. I was angry so I decided to write this comment and it became a review. I have been struggling lately which is why I haven't simply bought a different phone. Likely once I do get paid soon, I will be buying a different phone and I likely wont be buying a motorola again based on their quality. I literally upgraded from a Moto Z2 Force to the Moto One Fusion Plus and the moto z2 force had a ton of problems and the screen was literally peeling (look it up, its a known defect).

TLDR: Garbage phone. Constant freezes and crashes. Avoid.

I can add that the resolution doesn't even fit the screen, it's literally watching a tv with zoom mode on. Worst decision i made too, now i'm stuck with it

Does anyone know if T-Mobile will support a 5G connection on the unlocked Pixel 5?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] danon.brown:
Should be a non issue. I read an article yesterday where the 4a 5G is launching on T-Mobile.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
According to the FCC certification, the Pixel 5 has all 4 of T-Mobiles 5g bands. I read something recently where Tmobile is adding more spectrum and current 5g phones won't work with that spectrum
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jhlarowe:
I just IM'd a sales person at T-Mobile. The assured me that the Pixel 5 will be supported.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Here is what Google posted on its website. Some of it seems confusing when it comes to which kind of 5G(sub-6 or mmWave) each carrier supports.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dudeman1st:
Google Fi uses (or used to use) TMobile infrastructure, so I assume it will be just fine. Ask your carrier if you really need to know.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] tallpilot:
It is very confusing. T-Mobile MVNOs have mm-wave capability but T-Mobile doesn't?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
No ****?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] tallpilot:
Looks like Google updated the chart. T-Mobile is good to go.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
It's says mm-wave coming soon
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] tallpilot:
My guess is they are waiting for compatibility tests to enable it. Worst case is it will require a software update that will come soon after launch. In any event it need not be a worry.

I prefer a Sim card. Just in case I have to switch phones on the fly. Sounds like esims are a pain to setup?

I just picked up an R15 Sim card at tmobile for SA 5G. Doesn't seem any different. LoL
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] tallpilot:
No, but the encryption is worth it. Everyone should upgrade to an R15 sim.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
That sounds good to me.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
I don't know what an R15 SIM card. I just know the old big SIMs and the newer NanoSIMs.

I can see that, but I only have one phone. lol So for me eSIM is great!

I didn't think so. Didn't have to go to the T-Mobile Store or anything. Just called customer service and they set it up on their end. Last step was the rep texted me a link to a special QR code that I use the Pixel 5 to scan, then wallah, all set up!

I really won't miss physical SIM cards at all. But if I ever got 2 phones, then maybe I'd switch back.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
I think the esims are very compelling. I do switch phones from time to time.

An R15 physical Sim card from tmobile allows users to access their Stand Alone 5G network. The old Sim cards will only allow access to their non stand alone 5G network.

Stand Alone is supposed to be far more superior to non stand alone. After two hours I don't notice the difference. LoL

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
Do we know if these phones support T-Mobiles SA network? I know tmobile sent out updates to their phones to enable support, so im not so sure these do
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
All I know right now is according to Google, MMwave support is "coming".

The phone itself supports all 4 of T-Mobiles current 5G bands.

I also know you need a R15 Sim card to access the SA 5G network.

Other than that, does our software support SA 5G. I really don't know. But at least I have the right Sim card.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
I got the r15 sim but from what I can tell, I can't get SA, and it is available in my area. My wife has a tmobile device with SA so I will do some speed tests to compare
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
Could be a software issue then. I'm confident we will get support. I suspect there's alot of factors involved.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
I spoke with Google and actually they need to make that more clear cuz they told me it has it already. I even asked the rep to confirm with her supervisor, and the supervisor agreed as well.

Wait, you know FOR SURE that an eSIM won't let you get SA too??! If so, how did you find that out?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
No, I don't know anything about esims
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Interesting. How did you determine that you aren't getting SA with the R15 SIM?

Also, how much is one?

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Just spoke with a T-Mobile tech rep (not customer service) and Google tech rep as well.

Didn't really get anywhere with T-Mo. Maybe it this phone was sold through them they'd know more. But Google tech rep sent me this but it's about the Google Pixel 5 with Fi. It mentions the following:

5G Non-Standalone (NSA), Standalone (SA - coming soon), Sub-6, mmWave (coming soon)

I then spoke to someone in the Google Fi dept and asked more about this. Guy said that he'd have his supervisor e-mail me. lol

I'm just gonna assume I'll have it unless someone here can CONFIRM I won't on the unlocked 5.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
None of us can confirm anything. We will have it. 5G is an infant. Be patient.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
lol

The supervisor just e-mailed me from Google Fi. Let's see what he says. lol
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
Google fi seems to have more issues than other carriers. I do wish you the best though. I'm on tmobile.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Thanks, but so am I. lol

But T-Mobile is f'ing CLUELESS on this. Two reps told me I don't even have 5G on my 5. GTFOH! I just did an Ookla speed test the other day on 5G and I got like 215 mbps!! Even Google rep (not Fi guy who came later) was like oh you DEFINITELY have 5G with a speed like that! LOL

So F T-Mo's reps. But I believe SA capability on the unlocked 5 will come around soon. T-Mo DID tell me my area doesn't even have SA just yet anyway.

I'll keep u guys posted. I asked the Fi sup guy to confirm about the unlocked 5 having SA, so I was specific.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
Yeah. I haven't seen any impressive speeds at all yet. My phone is constantly connected to 5g. Just got the R-15 SA Sim card. Still not impressed. I think it's going to take awhile like everyone is saying. No hurry for me.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Found this online:

Vodafone says that eSIMs will enable more connected devices simply because eSIMs don't require so much room inside a device, enabling fitness trackers or even glasses to have stand-alone 4G or 5G connectivity in a way they just weren't able to before.

Pocket-Lint is pretty reliable, so I'm gonna take their word for it. I will still call T-Mo during the week and speak to a technician about it b/c on weekends you only get their international reps who don't normally know everything.

A call to a local T-Mobile Store I made earlier though DID confirm however that the R15 SIM card DOES in fact enable SA 5G connectivity. FYI

I'll report back later this week, but I am confident now that eSIM will be fine. I mean think about it, the future of SIMs really is virtual anyway to me, so it just seems super idiotic to NOT make eSIM tech a part of that future.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
N71 doesn't have SA capability on the Pixel 5 yet. I have an R15 SIM card (came with LG Velvet 5G). The Pixel 5 has SA on N40,41,77,78. N41 SA may not be enabled for the TMobile profile, either. I have root and messed with forcing SA with Network Signal Guru but still no go. I'm going to see if I can enable N71 SA with QPST and report back.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hey c!

Well I'm glad Band 41 has it since that is the main Mid-Band band T-Mobile uses.

I'm sure Band 71 will get it eventually. Or hopefully at least! lol

Yeah let us know. What's QPST??
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hey C,

Also, what programs or apps are those (PC or mobile??)? And, do you need to root in order to use them?!

I'd like to try them out on my phone as well.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
Hey there,

The screenshotted app above is called Network Signal Guru and does require root. It's in the Play Store.

QPST is a Qualcomm tool that can be used to access the EFS partitions on phones (with root) and can be used to modify files to enable/disable things. I was able to get more SA bands enabled but I need to drive around and see if I can get it to actually attach (I don't have any other SA capable phone on me to verify my area has SA enabled).

Again, this screenshot attached is from a MODIFIED and ROOTED system. But hopefully it points to SA coming soon officially. Tomorrow is patch day, after all.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Ughhh ok. Thanks. lol

I haven't rooted a phone in YEARS. Not really looking to do that ever again.

Oh ok. That's pretty cool!

Yeah hopefully! So you got Band 41 to enable for SA? I'm not really sure how to read these screenshots. Seems like this latest one you posted is showing even Band 71 has SA-enabled?

I have to see if Google can answer me or not on this too, even though I'm confident the 5 has all this, or will very soon. T-Mobile has U.S. reps taking calls during the week, so maybe Google takes the same approach and tomorrow or Tuesday I can get some more solid info from them on the unlocked Pixel 5 having SA, or if & when it will be enabled, and if eSIM qualifies (though that seems likely after that Pocket-Lint article!). :good:

What do you mean "Patch Day"??
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
I don't know what your doing. But Network Signal Guru will not work for me. No matter what I do. Experimental doesn't work.

Permissive???
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83499679&postcount=75

Just add the custom prop as noted, then in NSG settings, enable Selinux policy option (don't need permissive).

Update: after some testing and reaching out to people smarter than me, it seems SA for n71 isn't enabled in the baseband so we have to wait for Google no matter what.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
Pixel 5 (GD1YQ) & 4a 5G (G025E) files FCC C2PC for 5G SA (n25, n41, n66, n71). If the Nov update didn't enable it, then should come "soon".

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Oh wow!!! How did you even find this out?! I just got that update the other day too.

That's awesome! I just reconfirmed with a pretty knowledgeable tech support guy at T-Mo that Bands 71 (Low-Band) and 41 (Mid-Band) are the ones they use for Sub-6 5G too.

Now it's just about waiting for my area to get the SA versions of those bands, which he said has not happened just yet.

Well how do we know for sure then if it got it? Why do you think it MAY not have got it?

**cstark27 for president!!!!!** LOL
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
Yes, T-Mobile uses N41 (mid-band) and N71 (low-band) for 5G. I don't think the November update included the capability because the baseband (radio image) is the exact same as the previous build. These FCC filings usually come before software updates to consumers.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Oh ok. Thx for explaining that.

Well, on the bright side, at least we have official confirmation it's coming soon!! :D

Please kindly continue to keep us updated. Very much appreciated!!

That's the best I have had yet. Right next to a tower. Meh!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Not bad.

I'm in the Chicago area too. Near but not IN downtown (I tested both several times), I got up to I think 200 or so (?) mbps. In the burbs (a bit north of Woodfield Mall), I got it up to 415 mbps, though I was RIGHT NEXT TO a confirmed T-Mobile Mid-Band-enabled 5G tower. lol They also confirmed that none of the towers near me (including that one) are SA just yet.

Do we have any idea when Google will enable SA for the 5 yet? If they haven't already?!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Golf c:
Nope. I'm waiting. That was on a tower in Arlington Heights. It's really spotty right now. We have to be patient
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
I'm gonna get a 4a 5G but it'll be the T-Mobile version, hopefully I can get it SIM unlocked so I can root it. But it'll be nice to play with for the network nerd inside me. But hopefully the Dual SIM 5G and SA rolls out at the same time, and hopefully next month(?). My city is getting upgrades now/near future. Many permits have been filed within past 1-3 months and they're working on one of the ones closest to my home now. Got (1) N41 tower relatively close - it's at 60mhz but I can tell the backhaul is limited.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Nice! Enjoy!!

I WISH T-Mobile was selling the 5 too. Would've been easier for me. Now I have to deal with selling my Note 10+ on Swappa. I was paying for JUMP all this time too, though I guess I needed insurance so had to since they're tied together basically cost-wise.

That's cool. Yeah hopefully both happen at the same time in your area. And ours too! lol

Sounds like 5G SA comparability for the Pixel 5 and 4a 5G is scheduled for early next year.
