Hi All,
I have just purchased Huawei Watch 2 eSIM version.
I have HTC u11, with nano SIM...
I tried to enable the eSIM on the watch following the instructions provided with the watch.
but unfortunately, I didn't succeed and the mobile sevice became unavailable and I had to change the Nano SIM and get a new one from the provider.
I just want to ask if anyone was able to activate the eSIM on the watch while being active on the host mobile phone.
thanks
Here is the instructions how to activate the eSIM:
Activating your eSIM
If your watch is an eSIM edition, activate the eSIM as follows:
Use the*Wear OS by Google*app to connect your phone to your watch.
On the watch details page of the*Huawei Health*app, choose*Communications services > eSIM service> SET UP NOW.
Use your phone to scan the QR code provided by your carrier as instructed. Enter the confirmation code provided by your carrier if necessary.
The eSIM account is automatically activated upon the first time you download and configure the eSIM service.
To add an eSIM account, follow the onscreen instructions on your watch.

Please make sure that:
Your phone is connected to your watch thourgh Wear OS by Google App, and your phone can access the Internet.
Your watch is powered on with the battery level higher than 40%,your phone is powered on with the battery level higher than 30%.
No operation is performed on your watch during the activation process
There's no communication section on the Huawei Health, Huawei wear and Wear OS apps.
I spoke to Huawei Customer Care and they kept insisting that I need to buy an esim although I explained to them that the esim is supposed to be embedded/integrated on the device and not a physical sim card as per my knowledge and understanding.
I also spoke to my network provider (Vodafone UK) and they are saying that I need to provide them with an E-ID Number for them to activate the esim, which isn't on the settings, manual or the box.
My guess is that the Huawei Watch 2 4g is just a Nano Sim version and Huawei has mistaken the Nano Sim for the Esim.

False. There are 2 versions of the Watch 2. One is 4G with nano sim (LEO-DLXX) and another one with and eSIM (LEO-DLXXE)

Thank you for your kind reply.
I looked at the description on the Huawei website which states that the watch is Nano Sim/Esim and the link to buy the Huawei Watch 2 then directs to the selection page which had the option of choosing Argos or Amazon.
I decided to buy the watch from Argos which is the Nano Sim version.
I got in touch with Huawei Customer support (Still have screen recording of the chat), and the customer service kept insisting that the Huawei Watch 2 does not do Nano Sim and that the slot I am calling a Nano Sim Slot is actually a Nano SD Card Slot and will void my Warranty if I insert any other card other than a Nano SD Card. ????
Huawei watch 2 nano sim upgrade to esim version
Hi All,
One question : I have Huawei watch 2 with nano sim so LEO-DLXX version.
If I replace the software - ROM to esim version ROM LEO-DLXXE the esim option will work in the watch?
Thanks :Ervin

I'm making an assumption that the esim would require some hardware (like a security chip that stores the information about your unique esim) - It doesn't make make sense to me for something like this to solely rely on SW/OS.
I would love someone to prove me wrong as I'd love to see esim on my HW2 4g but alas I'm never wrong

What's the battery performance like on the HW2 eSIM version?
On the 4G nano version I was lucky to get 12hours out of my watch even when it was on automatic mode (cell only one when bluetooth/wifi signal low or disconnected) - Even with the 4g set to automatic and the 4g in standby there was a service call 'cell standby' that still crewed all of the battery.
I'd consider buying the eSIM model if the battery performance was improved.

Hi all,
I am currently on the right mood to bring it back on Monday.
NO APPS installed except WhatsApp and drains battery like hell.
Doesn't get to 6hrs screen time.
Disabled dc dimming, wifi scan and everything else the web might have mentioned about saving battery.
Even blocked Google Play Services from accessing gps (as last test).
Apparently there is no app sucking more than the others, it is just what you use that drains way too much battery.
FYI I am in London with no 5g coverage (north London), no network switch issues, indeed.
Last update has been installed.
Give your thoughts.

Hi,
I'm in Manchester, but only issue I have had is lack of dual SIM function. Does yours have dual SIM? Thanks in advance.
No dual SIM here.
What about your battery?
Could you publish your screen on time etc?
Mine suffered from lots of phantom touches, requiring multiple reboots and was also single SIM.
I also complained to EE as they said on their website that the phone shipped with USB-C headphones, but nothing was included in the box.
...Mine has already been sent back; it's simply not worth the cost at the moment with the flakey camera, phantom touches & the relative lack of 5G coverage (I'm in West London so don't get 5G unless at work)
I phoned them this morning and they told me that the handset can be returned only IF has been pre-ordered. If bought in-store while it was in stock (test in store for them), then there is no 14/30 days return policy. Who did you buy it? Pre-order or store?

Mine was a pre-order, but also via their website, which means they have to honour the 14 days distance selling rules, even on an upgrade
If you're desperate to return, just say you are unhappy with the coverage. The store will then return it for you.
The fact that their is no dual SIM support is ridiculous. Battery life has been ok-ish for me, not great but not the worst I've seen. I missed the part on the EE website where it said "USB type-c headphones included" I might complain about that too. But for me, it's just the lack of clarity as to whether we can flash the latest firmware version from the OnePlus website as no sod knows who actually supports the device...EE or OnePlus...

At the end the situation got dramatically better switching to Nova Launcher. Unfortunately I don't want to root to drill down further but for now it is ok.
Hope that in future releases they fix its launcher.
i not had any issues with the 5g version apart from the general 7 Pro issues of ghost touch
only other issue I have is OnePlus alarm clock does not ring so have to use google clock

The no dual sim is due to X50, you may have noticed every Qualcomm 5G device is single sim. It was exactly the same when 4G launched.

yup people dont read up and then complain
nothing to do with EE or OnePlus.
What OP could have done is use google's esim capability.
It worked on Pixel 2 on EE.

Sadly they couldn't have done that on the 5G model either. No dual sim is a technical limitation of Qualcomms first gen 5G modems.

pixel 2 xl is single sim phone but supports esim so you can load a business number as a ESIM and switch in OS to other sim.

Sorry missed the point of your original post. Yes OnePlus could have chosen that option, although I don't believe there's much demand for a non DSDS solution. Might as well just swap physical sims in such circumstances.
Re dual sim- is it something that a dual sim adapter can fix? Or does this mean the hardware itself does not support dual sim? Could replacing ee-locked firmware with unlocked firmware fix it?

Hey, I pre-ordered as well but i cant find where on the website it mentioned the usb-c headphones, could you share the link please?
Also, my battery life seems fine to be honest, however, my internet simply does not work. It is constantly disconnecting and i dont know if anybody else is also experiencing this problem.
so just to confirm the phone does not have dual sim ability when purchased on EE?
I thought all oneplus devices were unlocked and came with the ability to use 2 sims.
The last oneplus phone i purchased i got from O2 and this was dual sim and unlocked.
can someone please clarify

Can someone check your 3a box? I haven't opened mine but I noticed on my box there are two IMEIs. IMEI1 and IMEI2 along with an esim ID. Does that mean it's dual-sim? I tried looking up the IMEIs on swappa and they come back with nothing found.

The 3a has one esim and one regular slot.
For me (Android Pie) a simultaneous operation is not possible.

On Android P, the Pixel 3a is Dual Sim, Single Standby. This will move to Dual Sim, Dual Standby in Android Q. If you need the feature now, it's available in Beta.

Only one SIM need be physical; the Pixel 3a and 3a XL support e-SIMs. (A surprise for me is that - for a rather odd reason - my own 3a was able to swallow a micro-SIM - specifically the one from my S7 Snapdragon - which it replaced. No - I did NOT modify or otherwise fiddle with the SIM - it was a straight swap.)
The box has 2 IMEIs but *#06# and the bootloader only shows one.
Do any UK operators offer eSIM?

If you don't know about it, how would you know to avoid it? Mine was the first post in this thread to point out that the VZW model doesn't support an eSIM, prior posts simply made blanket claims like your's, that "the Pixel 3a and 3a XL support e-SIMs."

Between XDA and Reddit there are hundreds of posts and threads regarding this on the Verizon Pixel 3 and the 3XL. With the 3a being very similar to the 3 it would have been prudent to wait a day after release or asked about it prior to purchase. (or even assumed that the eSim was disabled) When it comes to VZW you need to look before you leap to see what they have crippled on each device. In this case it's locked bootloader and disabled eSim. If you really need the eSim then you might want to try and get your money back being they sold you a phone that was crippled for your purposes.
Dual SIM/Dual standby is working for me on the latest beta.
eSIM is from Freedom mobile in Canada and I tested a physical SIM by borrowing a Koodo SIM from someone.

Are there any particular steps you need to take to get it to work? Where is the menu for it? Does it specify which sim you use for data? If you can post a few screenshots that would be great.

Avoiding a specialty model - such as the Verizon version - is usually quite easy; don't buy from Verizon or the carrier thus favored. The Pixel 3a (as a series) is the most widely available in Pixel history - even TracFone is selling them. (And TracFone is not exactly known for selling many mid-range phones.) Besides, who sells the Verizon model other than Verizon?

If you can't find them already on Amazon and EBay (new stock, not used), they certainly will be showing up there soon. Even worse is when sellers are purposefully vague on the exact model (ie is it a Verizon model or not). Verizon is a plague on the entire Android environment IMHO!
I for one am thankful when users point out the limitations of different models in threads where appropriate. It doesn't matter that the information might be available in other forums or other threads as well. For example, I did not realize the Verizon model had the esim disabled until I read this thread. I don't own a Verizon model so I haven't paid as much attention to it as other models, but I am still better off for having read that information in this thread.

On Andorid Q beta 5 you should choose Settings - Network & Internet. On the right side of your operator name you will see a plus icon to add eSIM.

I get that part but on the iPhone there is a way to enable data on one sim and voice and text on the other all the while having dual active ability for incoming calls. I can't do the beta but as soon as it's released in September I'm all in. There was a menu where you can select those options. Any such thing on this?

Optionally you can use the Fi app, as Google Fi supports e-SIMs as well; that is what I did (running beta 5/RC1 of Q). In my case, I'll be using Fi as a backup (keeping Tracfone as my primary).

There is - however, the catch is that you must be running Q (which supports simultaneous dual-SIM operation). I have no reason to do so (as I use wi-fi primarily for data - and will only use Fi itself in areas where standard Tracfone service is not available, but wi-fi is; hence dual-SIM operation has no point).

I know you need Q to enable the feature, I just wanted to know if you can chose which sim would be used for data when not on wifi. DSDS is useful for me because I have two phone numbers I'd like to have active on incoming calls. As of now I can't do that. I have to activate one and the other then goes to voice mail. On the iPhone there is a way to chose which line is primary, secondary and which will use data. I was looking for those menu options on Q if they are there.
Yes, you choose which sim (or esim) you prefer for data. For outgoing calls and text you can either select a default, or have it ask everytime (it's easy to change even when you pick a default).

As the title states, I have a T-Mobile OP 7 pro thats been converted to international. I already have the dual sim tray in it and have used it with a verizon sim in slot one and google fi in slot two. Only verizon required the imei to be attached to the sim. Google fi was pop it in and go.
Both lines worked perfectly with that set up.
I'm about to be using a verizon sim and a red pocket sim on att network in it. Thats going to require me to report the imei to redpocket to activate the sim sim same as verizon.
Will only haveing the one imei reported to both carriers be an issue? and is there a way to retrieve the second imei from the phone?+
I tried searching the forums and couldn't really find an answer.
As long as your 2 sims are on different networks for example one on AT&T and one on T-mobile you should be ok. The only time you might run into an issue is if you are using an mvno's sim that uses the same network as your primary. I'm doing that right now (also on a t-mobile op7 converted to international with dual sim tray) with T-mobile as my 2ndary and soon to be gone sim and Ultra Mobile as my Primary (which also uses t-mobile's network)......T-Mobile has been reported multiple times not to pay attention to this. Other networks may not be so forgiving. To answer your last questions...there IS no second imei to retrieve. The device was intended to be a single sim device so no 2nd one was allocated. The fact it works with the same imei in both is luck more than anything else.

Thanks for the reply, the second part is what I really wasn't sure of if the phone just hid the second IMEI or if it actually didn't have one.

Don't quote me on this, but from days with the 6T, I'm pretty sure it's just not reported in the software correctly but on the network side there are actually two different IMEID.
You should be able to (at least on Verizon) to log in and see the IMEID that is attached to a SIM.
Try the VZW sim in slot 1 and check online for the imei. Log out and switch the sim to slot 2 and check again. Hopefully you should see a different imei. Please let us know what you find out.

@blooddragon78 couple questions for you, as I also have OP7P that I bought from t-mo and switched to international:
- Were you able to use the sim tray that came with the phone? Or did you buy an aftermarket tray? I've heard mixed messages about the tray from t-mo having physical space for 2 sim cards.
- Did you have to unlock your phone to make use of the dual SIM functionality? Or in other words, are you still making device payments to t-mo?

I purchased a dual Sim tray from Amazon. The Sim tray from T-mobile will not fit 2 Sim cards. I'm a t-mobile tech expert so I do know for sure aside from owning one and doing it. For dual Sim to work the device does need to be unlocked as it only has one imei. If you didn't unlock before the conversion you will need to convert back to get the unlock app to be able to unlock.
There were a couple of threads on xda to get unlocked in the system but you still have to run the app. Not sure if they are active still.
If you need some help dm me.
Help with Op 7 Pro Sprint Unlocked version
Hello, I sent you a private message @blooddragon78, but Imma post here as well to see if anyone else can help me out, I'll greatly appreciate it. I came across this thread on being able to convert a T-mobile OP 7 Pro to the international version and enabling dual sim functionality. I was hoping to do the same as well, but I havent made the purchase yet in case it's not doable. Im currently looking at this OP7 Pro (Sprint version) that was factory unlocked and sold on Amazon (it's the OP 7 Pro sold at USD 499 by the Farmug Store) (if will be great if you guys can check and see the product to know what I mean exactly).
My question is what is the difference and meaning between "factory unlock/ phone unlocked" vs "sim unlocked" vs "unlocked bootloader?" I know this phone is unlocked for use on different carriers (and I live in Malaysia even), but how do I convert the phone to the international version so that I can receive updates from OnePlus directly (and not through the carrier)?
And how do I enable the dual sim functionality? Do I need to unlock the bootloader? Am I able to do that myself? Because I got confused as some people say unlocking the sim can only be done by the carrier, but Im not sure what is the difference of that with unlocking the bootloader.
In addition, say if Im able to convert it to the international version and get updates from OnePlus directly, dual sim functionality is enabled and such. Will updating the OS of the phone automatically (not doing it manually) lock the network/ brick the phone?

The box lists two IMEI and comes with a sim preinstalled in phone. There is no app or setting to activate the esim and according to Verizon it only supports 1 sim.

Without dual sim the phone isnt going to work for me.. I guess either I stick with the oneplus 8 pro or I have to get an iPhone. If the iPhone 12 has the fingerprint reader back I think thats going to be my next phone.
Dear all
I'd like to find out if it is possible to add multiple eSIM providers to the phone.
I often travel, so my question is: Can I add 4-5 providers?
And can I easily switch between them?
Can I have two eSIM active at the same time or only 1x normal SIM and 1x eSIM at the same time?
Thank you in advance!

Technically you should be able to add up to ten I believe esim profiles. Have you tried ? Go ahead and subscribe to a few of those app based esim providers and report back.
What esim programs? Also does your phone have to be eligible? I bought more directly from Samsung cuz that's the only way to get an early upgrade program. But for some reason those only come with 1 sim in the US

I have looked in to this and here's the deal as I understand it:
- You can only ever have 1 X eSIM active at any given time.
- There is no limit (I don't believe) to the amount of eSIM profiles you can store on your device.

My post was in reference to non usa spec devices that support esim. If you have an american model it doesn't apply. As they don't have it available esim that is.
