I wonder if that means they'll disable the physical SIM, LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
Just for kicks I chatted with Scamsung Canada support online... asking why the Canadian product page advertises eSIM support when it's not there...

"Oh we're not responsible for what carriers do"
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] myphone12345:
The government actually already warned Verizon and AT&T regarding an evil scheme they tried to concoct a few years ago with regards to eSIMs. As a result, the carriers stepped back from their plans but have not widely adopted eSIMs widely.

https://www.engadget.com/2019-11-27-doj-att-verizon-esim-investigation.html

it’s good to see that TMO will enable it in the S20.

I heard that there is new update on Note 20U U1 and esim is now enable. Hope it will be enable on S21U U1 soon
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
That's the OEM Unlocked version you're talking about right?

If so, that's fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
I find it curious e-Sim functionality is such a hot topic in the US. If one leaves their coverage area often or is a business man or woman who travels frequently it's a valuable feature. Also in Europe you are more likely to leave your service provider's footprint since many countries are part of the same region. The dominant service provider's in the US offer free coverage in Mexico and Canada so where's the necessity for most US consumers and who really wants the added cost for two service providers? I'll agree it's the big carrier's who are blocking the feature but for most customers in the US it's a moot point. If on a rare occasion you need a second SIM it takes about ten seconds to swap it. No big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] griderphone:
international travel for data usage . . . because roaming data speeds suck ... and you can get your account terminated if you over-use it

second line for business vs personal

a single sim is a non starter for me.

Unique mobile subscribers US 2010-2025 | Statista

The statistic depicts the total number of unique mobile subscribers in the United States from 2010 to 2025.

www.statista.com

U.S. mobile cellular subscriptions 1984-2022 | Statista

The total number of mobile cellular subscriptions in the United States reached almost 373 million in 2022.

www.statista.com

Population of the United States 1610-2020 | Statista

In the past four centuries, the population of the United States has grown from a recorded 350 people around the Jamestown colony of Virginia in 1610, to an estimated 331 million people in 2020.

www.statista.com

Even after accounting for some of the more exotic uses of cellular service, like: IoT, GPS/Cellular tracking, certain medical devices, etc., you can tell that there are more subscriptions than there are people.

So, clearly, there are many people who have 2 plans. Why? Work, usually.

Many working people are required to keep their work number active/online at all times or during set times.

Carrying 2 phones gets old really fast.

If you want Android to stand a chance against Apple's impending monopoly in the US -- you're going to need dual-SIM.

Many working people have cited Apple's iPhone dual-SIM acceptance as a reason for using iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ZerkerEOD:
Can someone tell me how Samsung can just not enable it and "blame the carriers" I travel a lot, and I bought it because I saw the eSIM. I don't care if the US carriers do not use the eSIM as the ones where I travel can. But because I have the US model they cannot utilize it. This makes no since to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
This is going to change.

But, the reason is because the carriers have leverage over Samsung.

Many smartphones are sold through carriers.

If Samsung does not "comply" with what the carriers want, then, the carriers will simply start boosting the sales of Samsung's Android competitors like OnePlus, Pixel, etc. through subsidies and deals.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Correcta mundo , well said. However Apple never bent over for the USA carriers, I wonder why LOL JK.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Because, they're bigger than (market-cap) all the carriers put together.

Plus, they did cave into the subsidy system when the iPhone first came out (AT&T).

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] branko.savic:
I have some issues with my TP that I find very frustrating!

Fist of all I wonder if the video drivers are really in place now?

Using both TomTom 7 and IGO 8 I have found that this device is much slower then the Tytn II, granted it can be becouse of the VGA screen but I really wonder?

The camera is also as slow as on the Tytn II, it is nearly impossible to take pics or film something thats moving, I really cant see any improvments there!

I like to play chess and the program I am using is Pocketgrandmaster (PGM) with the Toga II v3.1.2SE engine, and if I set up both my TP and my 3 year old Qtek 9000 exactly the same way and let them play against each other the old Qtek 9000 kicks the TP´s butt every single time! I have also noticed that if I hold the stylus over a piece and move it around on the display it doesnt quite follow my gestures, there is a lag between my movements and the piece following! However if I do the same thing on my Qtek 9000 it has no lag at all, the piece follows my movements exactly without any lags!

And last but not least the GPS sucks big time on this device!

I am using a program called BeeLine GPS for geocatching and outdoor activities, and due to the bad reception on the GPS it is impossible to follow the track! Actually I was out testing it today and it points me in one direction that I should walk, when I turn to the right direction it takes up to 2-3 minutes before it uppdates my position and realizes I am going the right way, and sometimes it does not update correctly but points me to a wrong direction several times before it finaly gets it right!

This is very frustrating and I have to use an external bluetooth gps to be able to use the program the way it is supposed to be used! And using the bluetooth GPS just sucks my battery dry in a very short time!

Please, has anyone else been experiencing the same problems I have? And if so is there a solution to the problem, or has HTC been ignoring us customers and neglect to implement the drivers again?

***Edit***

I should add that I have disabled the TF3D and have done some tweeks with Advanced config!

Also I am using SPB Plus and SPB Mobile shell, but even without spb software it is still as slow!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] fgasimzade:
Hello Guys, Need your help

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 rebooting after home screen.

When I enter recovery mode, I can see these errors:

# fail to open recover_cause (no such file or directory)

E: uknown volume for path [/odm]

E: uknown volume for path [/vendor]

remove failed dir /system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttIqi_ATT (no such file or directory)

E: [libfs_mgr]is_ft_compatible(): firmware info was not valid

Also, in recovery mode I can see my firmware is G950FXXSBDTJ1 which is related to Germany, as far as I understand

I tried to flash firmware with ODIN, downloaded G950FXXSBDTJ1, used HOME_CSC, but it did not help

Then i Download mode I noticed my Carried ID is XSG which OAE, so I tried OAE firmware, and it did not help either and I can still see G950FXXSBDTJ1 in recovery mode.

What I also noticed is that once ODIN completes my phone starts to update and finishes at 32% and them displays Erasing message

Is there anything I can do with this phone to make it work?

Thank you

My apologies for being the dumb new guyand i cant help but think of the movie joe dirt and his lack of experience working on the oil rig. ( Im new,... I dont know what to do! ")

First and foremost i have VERY LITTLE knowledge or understanding of platforms or networking and developing but due to my frustrations with owning devices that i cant even have configured to my liking because of all the ridiculous crap that the service providers have preinstalled and the more emminent threat of the possibility that someone has infiltrated my last two devices or some account i posses and has been deliberately been attempting to dismantle my mental confidence and molesting me of my privacy, ive been opting to root my device in hopes of regaining control. But also the working knowledge of being capable of understanding what im doing and looking at is whats driving me.

So with all that ssid ... And thanjs for sticking eith me through all that,... Is it a good idea for the average joe to have and use a rooted device if he doesnt even know how to root it himself? And secondly,... Once its rooted can someone like me use it and nabigate and learn without jacking the device up COMPLETELY in the process? And last,... I was considering using either oneclick or dr. Fone and let a tech do it. R these sites legitimate or am i just getting suckered in out of hope for some regained control?

Plug it into your charge port, and just use a sticker or electrical tape to stick it to the back of the device, then slap that bad boy back in its case.

I'd like to use Smart lock but it's not available in the menus. I read some solutions that require rooting that I don't want to make because I'm warried about the issues with Google Pay and some bank's apps not working anymore after rooting.

So, is there a way to have Smart lock back?!?

Thanks in advance

Rob
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Can you please point out to any (working) solution that requires root - but without the usage of any kind of Xposed (only Xposed is a threat for Google services but I doubt that even Xposed could make it really working).

With root, you can install:

[ROOT] Smart Lock Launcher - S - Apps on Google Play

[ROOT REQUIRED] A small shortcut to open Google's Smart Lock settings.

play.google.com

and get the menus and setup Smart llck, but no avail since Trusted places, Trusted devices (except maybe for Xiaomi BT devices) and On body detection will not work

I.e., I have root and just reinstalled Smart Lock Launcher (for the purpose of screenshots below) but I'd like to see how to make Smart Lock options really working. A year ago I spent quite a time, searching through forums for various other Xiaomi devices, but no avail

It only worked (with Smart Lock launcher I got it working) with one of Xiaomi eu weeklies, but since the next week, it was (most likely, intentionally) disabled
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] roberto010:
I referred exactly to that app that I haven't tested because I've no root but I thought it was working. Thanks to you, I realize now that it's not the solution as well.

I'm really disappointed because of the unavailability of the Smart lock that I miss a lot when I'm home and working.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Added two more screenshots above, I just setup again Trusted places and On body detection, then locked the screen - but on turning the screen on it still asks me for finger or pin (although both rules for Trusted places and On body detection should have been kicked off and automatically unlocked my Mi 9T)

I want to connect to my office LAN with a Spectec WiFi card. To do that I have to enter a 63 character WPA Key, maybe it's my great wisdom (sorry age) but try as I may I cannot enter that code accurately.

Has anybody any ideas how to put it in? Even disabling the *s would help then I could see errors and correct them or perhaps a proper keyboard.
[Palm Treo 750] miloszz:
My idea:

you can install MyMobiler on your pc (if you're using windows), connect Treo via cable or bluetooth. MyMobiler will give you control of your Treo from pc (must be AS connected). Then you can go to wifi settings and enter wpa key with pc keyboard or write in in notepad (or any text editor - then you'll have clear - not masked - text), copy and paste into Treo's settings (copy-paste from pc to Treo works nice).

I do not sync anything so I have no use for this app with the exception of ROM updates.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahrami:
its not normal for active sync to always run in your pda

but once u plug ur device to ur PC/notebook active sync will autostart

so i assume u use ur cable frequently this why u could not tell how it starts!

Open Activesync --> Menu --> Configure Server

- enter a fake email --> Uncheck "Attempt to detect..." --> Next

- enter a fake server address --> Next

- enter a fake user & domain --> Next

- choose to syncronize no data --> Next

- "Finish"

When it's done, go back to Activesync main screen and choose:

Menu --> Schedule, and set both values to "Manually"

Now the problem should be solved.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oddcouplefanatic:
Besides the "create fake exchange server" fix that is mentioned previously, you also have to check in the phone options, and uncheck the "automatic change time zone" box in the "time zone" tab. It seems that every time the time is adjusted, the pda will launch Activesync as well. This problem with activesync always running and draining the battery has been around since Mobile 5.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oddcouplefanatic:
Oh, and after you create this fake exchange server, and set the sync schedule to manual, you can go ahead and delete it. The schedule setting will remain.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] prubin:

Task Manager notifications check

Hi all,

If you use dotfred's task manager to look at the notifications you will see some associated with "repllog.exe" which is the application behind ActiveSync. If there is a notification for this app entitled "AppRunAfterTimeChange" then disable it. This avoids having to unselect the the auto time change box in the Clock and Alarms applet.

Hope this helps. I've managed to stop AS launching, thanks to exs.fake.com

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Twenty4:
Well, didn't work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oddcouplefanatic:
Besides unchecking the auto adjust clock box, you need to follow these steps first:

http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/...nd-activesync-from-draining-your-battery.html

This will stop activesync from starting on its own. I've done this with the last 3 pocket PC's that I've had, and it works every time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nylo:
This does not work... At least for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
Personally, I had to put in the fake server, set things manual, leave the fake server, plus look for the "time" related replog entry in Notifications.

After I do both of those, no more activesync randomly, but it works fine (and automatically) when I need to use it.
