S20+ g9860, 5g works only with the second SIM slot - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hello,
I bought a s20plus from china (g9860) dual SIM version.
I just discovered that 5g connection works only with the SIM in the second slot...I did several tests to be sure about that.
Could it be possibile? Is It an hardware or software issue?

Yeah seems to be a known problem with no solution that I have found. Some suggest it may be a bug. Where are you using the phone?
Some have used the HK version in the UK with this issue, similar for other EU countries I believe.

Yes ... I am using it in Europe.
Hope that Samsung will fix it.

None of them do AFAIK. The HK Snapdragon version *could* but there's no guarantee. And even if you do get some service do expect other things (wifi calling, volte, et al) to have trouble or not work and don't expect VZW to support as they will see your IEMI as an unsupported device.

Do you have VOLTE working on the SM-975F/DS with Verizon? How about WiFi calling?
Thanks

I'm also going to put on the record that the SM-N975F/DS model worked for me on Verizon straight out of the box. I was worried about it because it did not work with the SM-N9750/DS that I accidently recieved. And so to anybody on Verizon, be very careful to get the F model, 0 will not work even though it should be able to. You do not want to be paying for restocking fees on this phone.
Curiously enough, Verizon officially has told me that only the U models are supported on the network. This is an obvious lie because they would have had to specifically whitelist other models of the phone for them to work, so they do know that other models work on the network. Its just that some are blacklisted and others aren't.

T-Mobile US compatibility of A50 NA/US version

Hey all. I'm looking to pick up a A50 but I'm having difficulty finding information on it's compatibility with T-Mobile. Does anyone here have the 64GB or 128GB variants of the North American A50 and can confirm full compatibility with T-Mobile's LTE network? Also does Wi-Fi calling work?
I'm currently looking at the 64GB model sold by Best Buy and Amazon (model# SM-A505UZKNXAA). I'd like to get the 128GB international model (model# SM-A505UZKNXAA) but I don't think it works on T-Mobile.

Check what bands you need in the phone, and I think it will works. But you can google everything about this. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.re...ne_bought_the_us_unlocked_galaxy_a50_from_bh/

VoLTE and VoWiFi are depends on your carrier too. The phone support these, but that's not means T-mobile too.
I have VoLTE for sure.

T-Mobile supports VoLTE and VoWiFi on compatible phones like my Nokia 7.1. Sadly you can only confirm a phone is compatible by entering an IMEI and I don't want to buy this phone just to have to return if it's not supported.
As you can see my version of the phone is FN, but I have VoLTE (Right upper corner).
But are you ok T-Mobile's US network? If not, you can't answer my question.

With HK G9880 will not work eSIM and Samsung Pay??

Hi guys,
WondaMobile text me that in the S20s G9880 Hong Kong version will not works:
- eSIM
- Samsung Pay
is it true?
Should I be aware of something else? 5G?
Samsung Pay on my old Samsung from Singapore works perfectly worldwide (just the rewards are locked in SG)
Thanks
5G will work. G9880 does not support e-sim but is dual sim. Samsung pay version is Hong Kong version and does not normally recognise other countries cards.
Samsung Pay works in France for me with G9880 Hong Kong version

Samsung SM-G9860 Snapdragon Enable 5G

Hello, I bought a Samsung S20 Plus SM-G9806 (Snapdragon). Eventhough it's geared up with the N78 Band, it cannot connect to 5G Swisscom Network. Is there a way to fix it (modify carrier policy....) ? Thanks for your help

I have a s9+ snapdragon and it can connect to the 4g swisscom. But it's always a danger buy this phones non European version. Some things just don't work, it was the first and last time I do this.
Next time i don't want exynos I buy another brand.
Maybe you must wait for some firmware update. In my s9+ , voLTE only start working after one year [emoji2361]

There is no issue with 4G and there were no issues with 4G phones. If they had the suitable bands, they could connect to any 4G network worldwide. But with 5G constructors had the good idea to enable only specific carriers...

Snapdragon is out of Europe so... if it's like you say , unless Samsung decides to enable swisscom 5g on is snapdragon firmware I think you're f**ked up.
In my s9+ the firmware works better in swiss is the Brazilian ZTO... my was from Hongkong and change.

Can you confirm the csc for this model. It will be one of the CHC, TGY or BRI. It is known that 5g has not been activated on the BRI csc.

I put my simcard in simtray 2 and it worked. But I also flashed Taiwan FW (instead of HK). Since I don't have 5G where I live, I had to move to another place, and I forgot to take a pin with me to switch my card.... So I cannot say at the moment what caused 5G to work (change sim tray or flash FW). But I will know it tomorrow. The only thing I can say, is that it works...

Its nothing to do with the software as the BRI and TGY software are the same and the difference is that TGY csc allows 5g to work. It is a known issue that 5g only works on sim 2.

No-one knows if its intentionally or just a bug.
Same here. I bought a G9860 from Hong Kong and 5g it s not working, it s showing but I cannot connect. In Sim 2 I have SD card. Maybe we have to wait for June upgrade. Or maybe somebody have solution?
I like to list this device to my cacombos.com website so everyone can check supported 4G bands and combinations but i need modem log file. Here is instruction how to get log file: https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...ons-from-your-android-phone/#Qualcomm_devices and you can send log then to: https://cacombos.com/contribute .
If you can connect phone via diag you can then export carrier_policy where could see how 5G is enabled.

Question VoLTE on US version (Jio)

Does the U1 (or U) unlocked US version of s21 fe support volte in India on Jio network? As far as I can tell, it has the required bands (B3, B5, and B40) that Jio uses, but I found that many claimed it doesn't work on older devices like the S8. I know that S8 works on airtel in India becuase thats what my dad uses but Airtel calling works without VoLTE. Please help me out since I need a new phone urgently. The phone will be used in the US for atleast a couple weeks so the region lock should not be a problem.
Any help is appreciated.
@AyushDhoot please update here mate. Did you get the phone? Is VoLTE working? I'm planning the same so would appreciate your reply.

Hey, I went ahead and got the s22+ instead. I'm still in the US so I'll update once I get back home in a couple weeks.
Hey just wanted to let you know that everything so far works perfectly except samsung pay but that was expected.
Jio volte and vowifi both work flawlessly.
