Esim T-Mobile - Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anyone been succesful in activating the Esim with T-Mobile USA?

I don't think it's possible with the P40 Pro right now. T-mobile USA says the ESIM should be set up as:
SM-DP+ Address: T-MOBILE.GDSB.NET
Activation code: [Blank]
Confirmation code: [Blank]
But the P40 Pro (at least my ELS-NX9) thinks it is invalid to leave the Activation Code blank. If you scan the QR it says invalid and it won't allow it to be left blank when entered manually.

Also worth noting that you have to use the eSIM on SIM Slot 2 which is not 5G? That I'm not 100% sure about, but it appears to be the case, which wouldn't matter much to me since T-mobile 5G isn't currently compatible with the P40 Pro ELS-NX9. Officially T-mobile only really support eSIMs on iPhones, however it's worked well on my Pixel 3 for about a year.

The second slot has 5G as eSim.

Thank you for the correction. I didn't realize the Default Data SIM is the one with 5G available.

The benefit is that T-Mobile is enabling 5G in Band N41, Band that your P40 fully supports.
Also, Does VoLTE works on Cricket or T-Mobile? Does the signal stays in 4GLTE or drops to 4G/3G during a call?

VoLTE works on T-mobile. VoLTE does not work on Cricket, the phone drops to 3G.
I haven't been able to get 5G SA to work on n41 with T-mobile. Supposedly you need to get a "R16" SIM or 5G SA will not work. If your SIM starts with TM 5G SA doesn't work. Unfortunately I asked them to send me a R16 SIM and they sent me another TM SIM... lol.

AT&T Note 10 SM-N970U - 5G???

Note sure if this phone actually getting 5G or just a displaying bug for data connection. Got this phone right after Christmas from AT&T.
I know Plano/North Dallas TX area have 5G coverage up and running.
When I'm at my workplace area in Plano TX, my phone shows 5G data. Surprised me! Is this just a bug? I read that Galaxy Note 10 N970U do not have 5G support. Only the Note 10+ 5G specific model. (not Note 10 and Note 10+)
Is anyone seeing this on their Note 10 N970U?
Even though it shows 5G data, is it only running at 4G LTE?
If the phone is really using 5G, how do I turn it off and only use 4G LTE? I try to find in settings to turn it off, but cannot locate it.
Thanks for your help in advance :good:

Sorry, post this in the wrong section. Can someone help moved this to the Question thread. Thanks
Are you sure it is not displaying that 5Ge icon? That ICON, shown below, is to show that 4G LTE enhanced is active. Fake 5G.

You need a 5G phone and you have to be on special T unlimited plans that are more expensive then the generic unlimited plans to turn on true 5G. Plus of course it has to be in an area where 5G is deployed which are few and far between.
Yeah, that icon. So it's just Enhance 4G LTE.
Fake 5G. I completely agree. It's definitively Fake 5G cause speed test was slow, below 20 Mbps.

Are SMG979U and a SAMSUNG GALAXY S10 the same phone or two different Samsungs?

Samsung Galaxy S10e SM-G970N LTE Lock

Hi, i 'm pretty new to android (just made the jump from an iphone)
I got a Samsung Galaxy S10e (korean KTC version), and i noticed that the signal is always on 3G even though my phone supports both lte bands that are used by my carrier (B3 1800 and B20 800)
Digging into setting there is no way to chose preferred network mode but i notice there is a setting called service provider that has an giga lte option but when go to enable it it just says that "giga lte cannot be used while a non-kt USIM is inserted, insert a kt USIM and try again"
So i though is it possible to unlock the lte functionnality by flashing a rom through odin for the korean vertion of the phone but with no carrier lock?
I found this stock korean S10e rom with no carrier lock (screenshot bellow)
Did anyone do it before ?
Does it work?
They have the same model number but not the same CSC file, would it be possible that this works ?

If the phone carrier locked then flashing a rom will not unlock it. You would need a Sim unlock code from the carrier to use a different Sim card. You may me able to carrier unlock it from various websites that an unlock code for purchase. Try a Google search for Sim unlock code. Good luck.

5G on Chinese after flashing global

This is to confirm that 5G uses band 78 in UK and MI 10 pro supports band 78 in China and Europe as well.
If you want to use 5G after flashing global on dual SIM Chinese 5G mobile, all you have to do is turn of second SIM and network will change from 4g+ to 5G
Network coverage is also better then Samsung phones. S20 ultra who struggle to get 5G in most of the areas whereas MI 10 pro gets it in almost every area.

What do you mean by "all you have to do is turn of second SIM"
I can't find a place to turn it off so!
Thanks

8T with ROMS & Verizon

I'm looking at getting an 8T but my interest in flashing roms is too great. I've read through a few threads about roms not working on Verizon.
Is this still an issue? I need to have phone service (obviously). Would I be happy in being able to use various ROMS while maintaining Verizon service? 5g even?
Anyone could give insight?
5G doesn't work on any ROM with VZW even though the phone supports the 5G nsa Low bands. I've even tried forcing the phone into 5G via the programming menu. Verizon simply won't allow it for non certified phones. The phone tries over and over and eventually loses all service until you reset the radios.

Verizon 5G does work on this device, following this guide here. Source: My carrier is Verizon. But I as well have tried ROMs, and Verizon does not work on any I have tested. Quite disappointing.
EDIT: Verizon does work on the latest LineageOS and HavocOS versions.

Question How to change the CSC on Unlocked U1 for Verizon?

So I'm about to get my s22 ultra u1 tomorrow and I've been on here reading and it seems like Verizon puts their ugly 4G LTE icon on their CSC so I wanted to know if it is possible to switch to the XAA CSC. I'm also going to be putting an AT&T esim and TMobile esim as well.
TMobile U flashed to U1 I get the normal LTE icon

Verizon prepaid sim is the same way. I put that in before I put the usmobile sim in so it would pull the Verizon CSC.
