I have a rooted Sprint Samsung S6. Stock rooted.
I'm travelling to Canada soon and Chatted with a Sprint Agent about International Roaming. It's called Sprint Open World Plan.
I'm just checking to see if the following procedure will brick my phone for what ever reason:
Before leaving the US: Connect to WiFi and go to: Settings > System Update > Update profile.
Once you arrive, please apply these settings:
Settings > More Networks > Roaming > Roaming Settings > Turn on international Voice.
Settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > GSM/UMTS > Select Manual.
You will then select: Rogers or TBayTel
thanks!
It won't brick your phone.

works fine -- I travel all over, always works great (and I'm always rooted using my own kernel).
I noticed that I do not have "Enhanced LTE Services" option under settings > mobile network...
This was a setting on my S8. Is it now standard in the ATT S9 or a provisioning issue that I do not see it anywhere?
Hey guys,
I found LTE unlocked variant for the price of BT (30€ more). ESIM is not supported here so I still cant use the full functionality but I'd buy it just for those 1.5gb memory if not anything else.
Does anyone know if its forcing you to "insert" esim because wouldn't like to have constant popups saying insert sim/no network., or can network connectivity be somehow disabled and normally used as BT/wifi edition until the operators support the LTE?
Thanks,
Maybe if you turn on Airplane mode, then switch on BT and WiFi manually.

Thanks - I actually didn't know that was possible on either Tizen or Android :good:
Maybe this info is useful....
TizenOS allows you to activate airplane mode, but from what I've seen you still need a SIM card in an LTE unit. There may or may not be a way around this yet; all the Telephony packages seemed pretty concerned about checking the SIM card constantly and throwing errors whenever it was missed. Lucky for us the Telephony is left at Partner level, so with an SDB shell you should be able to just type something like:
Code:
sdb shell uninstall org.tizen.telephony-syspopup*
and the nags should cease to be forever. Not sure if that's exactly the right command string to work, but I'll check when I get the chance to.
Hope this helps.
You can simply disable LTE connectivity in the setup Menu, like Wifi or NFC. Before i activated the eSIM on my watch i didn't get any pop up or message to activate the eSIM. So i would say it is no problem to use the watch without the eSIM. With disabled LTE it works exactly like the BT model.

Thanks, however I went to the Tmobile store today to try to look through the settings to see how to disable LTE but I couldn't find it and the salesperson didn't know either. Would you be able to post a screenshot of how to disable LTE? Thanks!

So I bought a LTE watch and found the place to disable mobile networks.
In Settings, go to "Connections" -> "Mobile networks". Anyway, its off by default when I purchased the watch, and I can confirm that I've never had a single pop-up message asking me to activate.
I purchased the LTE version of the watch in the US directly from the Samsung website.

Have you noticed any change regarding the battery life performance??

Hi, It is an esim, so techically it is already 'inserted' in your device. You don't have to set up a connection if you don't have to, just use the watch like the BT version. There won't be any popups or errors. Just switch off mobile data completely under settings, as it eats battery like nothing.

I am also interested if there is any difference in battery life between a Galaxy Watch Bluetooth anbd a Galaxy Watch LTE but with "Mobile Networks" off in the setting menu.
I'm basically wondering if there is any additional drain from the LTE services that run in the background even if the setting menu says LTE should be off. If so, I would like to know if I could turn off those background services to extend battery!
Mine was off by default, but I do not have service on my watch, so that may be why. As people have already said its a eSim(embeddedSim), so its not able to be removed, and wont hurt anything by being there.
I can't find a unlock apps like before.
Thanks
did you flash anything? Did you buy an unlocked or a branded Tmobile
Mine is T-Mobile branded and didn't come with Unlock app either.

For some odd reason they changed how to unlock the phone Starting from the s10 series.
Tap Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Network Unlock.

Nice to know this, thanks.
Hi guys... I am hoping someone can assist. I am struggling to access the volte option on my S20 Ultra.
Going via apps > connections > mobile networks no option is there.
But when using the Samsung Band Selection app and selecting the more network settings option, i am taken to screen with that option.
When i try accessing service mode via *#2683662# it just brings up a blank screen.
Is there anything I can check or do ?
unlocking voi lte
In some cases only the phone company can unlock it. In Australia, if your phone is not locked to one telco, the option does not appear. Telstra automatically enable it, but Optus had to be asked to unlock it from their end. Check with your teco.
Hi,
I bought my S20 Ultra from the online Samsung Store (Europe).
I don't have the VoLTE option in the menus. But I do have the VoLTE connectivity while on calls, no action was needed.
I know that for my provider, VoLTE has to be enabled from the provider's side in case of first activation (new contract with new SIM or passing from non-VoLTE device to a compatible device).
So try making a call if you're still on 4G, then you're OK.
If it doesn't work, try contacting your provider's customer service, maybe it needs an action from their side.
