Cool Atrix Hacks!

*** WARNING!! THESE SETTING ARE PRIMARILY FOR MOD DEVELOPERS OR FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CONSTANTLY RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS. WHILE THESE SETTING CAN BE APPLIED WITHOUT FACTORY RESETTING, IT IS A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT -- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! ****
**UPDATE** Great supplementary guide by Amil: http://www.amilkhanzada.com/2012/03/how-to-enable-select-network-on.html?m=1
Hello All! I'll get straight to the point.
I was playing around with some files, and noticed a bunch of configuration files in the '/system/etc/motorola/' directory. This directory is filled with custom setting that are applied after a factory reset. Here are some examples that I have played with:
File: /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings.mkitso:
Setting: - Enable the 'Unknown sources' check box (Allows you to install non-market apps)
Code:
force_only_market_apps=0
File: /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup/defaults.xml
Setting: - Allow you the option of bypassing the Motoblur setup altogether
Code:
<boolean name='ShowSkipSetupMenu' value='true'/>
File: /system/etc/motorola/com.android.phone/defaults.xml
Setting: - Unlocks the mobile networks, 'Select network' and 'Operator selection
Code:
<boolean name='network_select_menu' value='true'/>

I have completed a test and can confirm that "Use Wireless Network" check box is "agps and wifi positioning" controlled with one check box. I would argue that the suggested modification to display the AGPS checkbox is legacy feature and unneccasary. Exposing both check boxes in the GUI will most likely get the files out of sync that these check boxes write to. You can confirm that the "Use Wireless Network" check box enables agps by using maps over cellular data (3G required) with GPS and wifi turned off. You'll notice that maps will find your location. This is agps. While we are on the subject, the menu option with the "2G check box", has been replaced with the 'Select network' menu with 2G/3G/Automatic.
I kind of wish that the original posts would be updated as people are being mislead in this thread. The AGPS configuration does not need to be modified. In this situation, the stock settings are already optimized for agps, wifi and gps as well as the optimal server.

Here are some other interesting setting that I haven't had a chance to play with yet:
File: /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings.mkitso
Setting: - Unknown
Code:
dun_enable=1
Bluetooth_Dun_Enabled=true
Not sure what these do, but if you find out, please post it in this thread.
Thanks and I hope you all find these settings useful. Also, from my limited testing, the settings are only applied after a factor reset. This helpful for mod developers and those of use who that factory reset our devices often--the setting are automatically applied after a hard reset.

Great explanation provided by forum member jjwatmyself:

This is the Atrix, proof of concept for Enable mobile networks settings: 'Select network' and 'Operator selection' that are greyed out in 4.1.83.
FALSE
INCOMPLETE METHOD
Here is the complete method. I decided to post as I had some issues getting the described methods to work also.
Thanks to to mistadman and crnkoj and liranm2. My post is simply to join all of the items into a single method and provide information on what the resulting un-greyed settings do.
End result is that this method works flawlessly providing that all of the following steps are completed.
1) Edit the following files:
/system/etc/motorola/com.android.phone/defaults.xml
/data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/settings.xml
/data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/com.android.phone_preferences.xml
/data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/_has_set_default_values.xml
Setting:
2) When I initially tested, I found that the files would revert to their original state after rebooting, but on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108181 member liranm2 states that YOU MUST DELETE THE BACKUP XML FILES THAT ROOT EXPLORER CREATES.
3) Reboot phone.
In summary, the above changes provide un-greyed options under Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks as follows:
1) Select network
2) Operator selection
'Select network' provides the following options:
2G only = GSM only = lowest battery consumption, with slowest data speeds
3G only = WCDMA only = highest battery consumption, with fastest data speeds
Automatic = GMS auto (PRL) = medium battery consumption, with fastest data speeds when 3G towers are 'preferred' over 2G towers. This is based on what the towers advertise as being available. i.e. if a 2G tower has a stronger signal than another 2G/3G capable tower, then use 2G.
Automatic uses less juice becasue:
2G uses less juice
a stronger signal will yield lower transmit power consumption by the phone, i.e. don't force 3G if there is a stronger signal available at 2G.
'Operator selection':
Search networks = see all of the providers that your radio is compatible with, i.e. providers transmiting on frequencies your device supports.
Select automatically = will prompt every time your phone moves between different services that your provider offers that are not considered roaming.
On AT&T's network, using Any Cut to run Activity, GSM/UMTS Options provides a slight variation of the above menu. This can be used without modifying files. Instead we get a 'Use only 2G networks' check box which causes the phone to switch between GSM Only and GSM auto (PRL).
All of the methods described have the same result as dialing *#*#4636#*#*, then Phone Information, Set preferred network type. The acronyms shown on this menu most likely do not mean what you think they mean, hence the descriptions included in this post. Alternate method is to use Any Cut to run Activity and select Phone Information (thanks Vangelis13).
I'll post a link to this on the GingBlur thread to see if Ken will include these changes in his next version. My opinion is that having these settings would take the phone closer to a native build.
BTW Nice comments from crnkoj. Although I did not need to modify any settings.db files in any way, those files have some pretty interesting fields in them, just nothing that appears to be network_select_menu related.
Files listed below are for references purposes only. DO NOT MODIFY!!!

No this is not a sim unlock, it is supposed to allow you to select EDGE instead of HSPA+ however I was not able to get this to work after rebooting.

eheh sideload enable....nice =)

Unfortunately, you will have to perform a factory reset in order for the changes to apply. As I said before, this only works after a factory reset.

basically there are even more hacks possible in the subdirectories of the /system/etc/motorola/ directory. Thers one for sms delivery notification aswell, and the max allowed number of sent MMS/SMS at once (to different recipients), thers more things in there that i dont even know what the parameters mean. As for some of the hacks the values are being duplicated in /data/data/ and than com.each.particular.setting at first boot (ie when the phone is new, factory restored or sbf flashed) and is than maintained there, so even if you would change some of the settings in /system/etc/motorola/ it might not have an effect until you either factory restore (which is mega unconvenient) or go to the respective directory in /data/data/ and edit (mostly the files are saved in settings.db in those directories) the values in the settings.db there. by cleverly modifying those in the /data/data/bla bla and putting in read only tags into the settings.db you can in fact modify some things that are at times rather bothersome.

you dont have to factory restore it as a matter of fact. just go to:
/data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs edit this file: _has_set_default_values.xml which is a duplicate of the one from the /system (the defaults.xml) and write true in it, reboot and voila you have 2g/3g selector enabled.

Crnkoj, you are absolutely correct! However, making changes there will be lost after a factory reset. The beauty of modifying the configurations via the '/system/etc/motorola' directory is that the changes will become permanent.
So modifying both locations would probably be best for those who don't factory reset as much as I do Thanks for pointing this out crnkoj. I should have mentioned this in my original post.

yes i meant you have to change both and many are using gingerblur so a factory reset rather ****s up the phone, so thats a better solution than factory reset

I am not clear on this:
Change
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup/defaults.xml
and
/data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/_has_set_default_values.xml
to be the same?

hmm does any one know how to get motoblur back. I didnt turn it off using one of those methods im not even sure how my account got deleted but does anyone know if theres a way to get motoblur account back. none of my facebook contacts are syncing

Tried too changing in both files, and 2g/3g menu didn't appear!!

I've gotten it back before when I disabled it doing the keypress during first boot. It prompted me again trying to do a software update, which I ended up doing as I was to lazy to use rsd

awesome POST. thanks brother =)
BUT... it looks like my speeds are super similar with 2G enabled vs not... ? =/

I do believe on att network this option even if enabled, doesnt change your connection type...

So is there a way to enable the sideloading without using another method (ie sideloading wonder machine, gladenable) and without having to do a factory reset? Is there some other file we can edit that will enable it?

You need to be rooted, than you can change these settings/databases to enable sideloading.

What to do about the not not working volte? Earlier even after june security patch volte with jio was working fine but ever since hmd released that server update, it's all messed up. Can't make calls at times and the data doesnt work most of the times. What should i do?

Dual sim dialer and hands free
Hi my previous dual sim phone had a dialer where you could key the phone number and press one of 2 dial out icons (one for sim1 and one for sim2).
Is an option like this available in the standard rom 7 plus ?
I have set the default dialing sim to sim1 so that hands free works as per my previous phone. Is this necessary for hands free ?

Anyone here from Korea? I cannot use VoLTE. Apparently, Nokia phones are not registered in the VoLTE here. Living in place that has the fastest internet and call connection, the 2018 phone becomes the bottleneck. Smh.
Does anyone know a workaround for problems like this?

Hi,
I've got two questions.
1. Is it possible to stop Google Play from adding new icons for every app installed in the default launcher? I don't want to change my launcher, hence my reason for asking.
2. Is it possible to have multiple variants of messengers in the phone, kind of a similar feature in S7 after Oreo update? I need one for my work Sim.

Yes, you just need to disable the Add Icon to Home Screen setting in the home settings - see screenshot.

No, no native dual messenger option in the Android One version. The China market software, on the other hand, does have this function (my wife has the Chinese version of the 7 plus).

Hi all,
just got mine. So far i like it. There are a few things that bother me though.
1: settings->storage->internal shared. At the bottom in system i have 13GB used. Why so much? I cant imagine that android 8 uses so much.
2: in developer settings i saw aptx, aptx HD and a lot more to chose from. But every time i select anything else then the default and exit dev options, it reverts back to default. Why that?
Im on 8.1.0.
Thanks!
PS: is there some PC software available for the new HMD Nokia lineup? I know in the past there were the Nokia PC suite and Ovi suite but i doubt they work with the new phones.

I have a really odd WiFi problem with my Nokia 7 plus. I had problems when I first set it up - I couldn't enter my Google credentials over WiFi. It would only work with a SIM inserted to use mobile data.
Since then it appears I can't browse, or use applications on the Nokia 7 Plus which use secure connections over my home WiFi - eg. Twitter, Amazon login etc.
No other devices (Mobile Phones, Laptops, Tablets/ Smart TVs) are affected by this problem using the same network, no special rules have been created for this host on my WiFi AP/Router.
And I don't get the problem on other WiFi networks - only the Nokia 7 Plus on my home Wifi. Anyone else experienced this or know what to do to fix it?

Immediately lock not working properly it takes half sec
After press the power button

how to unlock the bootloader of nokia 7 plus ta-1062? the chinese variant of this phone doesn't allow me to use google pay

Hello,
Am rocking a Nokia 7 plus but it is now stuck in April security patch after downgrading from Android p beta 3 to Android Oreo 8.1.0 .Also checked manually in the system settings but still no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.

How is the build quality?
Hello
I have just bought this phone couple of days back and i am loving it so much so far.
I have not even touched its ceramic coated back yet and have just put the plastic cover as soon as i opened the box,
Is the ceramic coated rear and overall build is such fragile to spoil quickly ?
My mom's Moto G5 Plus still has decent quality back after an year of not very careful use.
So, what is your suggestion ?

Sprint Hotspot Mod Working!!!

I just received my Note 9 and have been playing around with things. After doing a little research and piecing together a couple of different posts, I can confirm that I have Sprint Hotspot working. The steps are as follows:
1. Download Shortcut Master Lite from the Play Store.
2. Open Dialer
3. Dial ##brand# (##27263#)
4. Say yes/accept everything - phone reboots
5. Open Shortcut Master Lite and select the Menu (three vertical dots in the upper right).
6. Select App Explorer, and then All Apps
7. Navigate (scroll down) to com.test.LTEfunctionality and select.
8. Select the first item labled "LTEFunctionalityTest" and select launch.
9. Scroll down to LTE APN Setting and select.
10. Select APN2 LTE/EHRPD internet
11. Scroll down to APN type and select.
12. Add "DUN" to the setting (it should read "default,mms,DUN") without quotations. Also make sure there is no space between the comma and DUN.
13. Select Menu and save your settings
14. Reboot
Congratulations, your device now has Sprint Native Hotspot!
Update : You must reapply if you update profile!
Disable automatic updates so that profile updates do not remove!

Assuming you got the unlocked version?

Nope, I have the Sprint version. Ordered directly through Sprint

Didnt work for me. Anything else you tried that might of made it worked for you?
edit: wth? So earlier I was messing with another method through adb shell and I was afraid maybe I had messed something up so I wanted to undo it all. The guide said to use this commands
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 1
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn null
then I removed the DUN from apn setting on shortcut master and now the hotspot works? makes no sense but I'll take it lol
Edit 2: Apparently my plan comes with 10gb of hotspot which is why it was working after removing all custom settings. I just went past the 10gb and it has now slowed down to 2g speeds (text from sprint)

Didn't work for me either. I get a you are not subscribed to hotspot. Are you sure you don't need root access for this?

Worked for me
Thank you kindly

If you believe this worked for you, check your sprint account usage because I'm pretty sure all new sprint unlimited plans come with 10gb hotspot so you might be using that up thinking this worked. That's what happened to me lol

Awesome!

Worked perfect for me. Older plan and do not pay for hotspot.

So it seems to only work for people with no hotspot plan then. Can any of you guys with it working enable it and then dial ##33284# and look under active apn connections and see what comes up? You should hide your ip tho if you post a screenshot. Mainly looking at what is under Active APN 1 and 2

With mine turned on and my laptop connected it says "There are no Active APN Connections"

I've been messing around with this for the last couple of days and I figured I would post here everything I have tried and my findings in case someone with more knoledge in this wants to try and figure out a working fix
I had an s8+ previous to this note 9 that had hotspot enable by this two adb shell commands
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default,dun,mms,supl"
while the hotspot is on, I dialed ##DEBUG# and can see TWO separate active APN connections to n.ispsn and I have internet on my phone and my laptop that is connected to the hotspot.
Now on the note 9, I tried those exact commands and got "couldn't connect to APN" followed by hotspot not enabled in account. Looking a bit closer I noticed that through Shortcut Master edit thing, the note 9 only has one APN instead of the two that all other galaxy phones have had to this point. Instead of
Code:
APN2 LTE Internet
&
Code:
APN2 EHRPD Internet
there is now only one called
Code:
APN2 LTE|EHRPD Internet
. This also has x.ispsn instead of n.ispsn like on the previous galaxy devices so it seem the are now using Sprints new APN. I swapped those in the command above and entered this on adb shell
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,x.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default,dun,mms,supl"
This allowed me to enable hotspot but after connecting my laptop to it I got no internet. I checked again under ##DEBUG# and Active APN Connections shows just one Active APN to x.ispns. I tried different ways of enabling the hotspot including date off->hotspot on->data on. data off->hotspot on->connect laptop->data on. But still no internet. It seems that the hotspot is not setting up a connection to the APN x.ispns at all which is why I get no internet.
In the mean time, the app EasyTether Pro does work to set up a wired connection to a PC so that's what I'll be using until a fix is found for this. Sorry for long post lol

I've been messing around with this for the last couple of days and I figured I would post here everything I have tried and my findings in case someone with more knoledge in this wants to try and figure out a working fix
I had an s8+ previous to this note 9 that had hotspot enable by this two adb shell commands
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default,dun,mms,supl"
while the hotspot is on, I dialed ##DEBUG# and can see TWO separate active APN connections to n.ispsn and I have internet on my phone and my laptop that is connected to the hotspot.
Now on the note 9, I tried those exact commands and got "couldn't connect to APN" followed by hotspot not enabled in account. Looking a bit closer I noticed that through Shortcut Master edit thing, the note 9 only has one APN instead of the two that all other galaxy phones have had to this point. Instead of
Code:
APN2 LTE Internet
&
Code:
APN2 EHRPD Internet
there is now only one called
Code:
APN2 LTE|EHRPD Internet
. This also has x.ispsn instead of n.ispsn like on the previous galaxy devices so it seem the are now using Sprints new APN. I swapped those in the command above and entered this on adb shell

I am sorry you are having so many problems. Are you on an unlocked version? Mine is Sprint branded bought directly from Sprint. This may be the difference. I came over from the Pixel XL and the steps there involved editing the build.prop file and an ADB command similar to your steps.

Yeah so is mine. I can't think of why it would work with someone but not others. Can you check on shortcut master again to see if you have n.ispsns or x.ispns. Also what plan do you have with sprint

OnePlus 7 Pro 6/128GB [Three.co.uk] Review

Hi Folks,
Here is the Three.co.uk OnePlus 7 Pro 6/128GB.

}
Firstly, let's get the most important bit out of the way, since we are on the XDA forums, as you can see from the photos below, the OnePlus 7 Pro 6/128GB on Three.co.uk can be unlocked right out of the box, thankfully something OnePlus probably asked of them, just as they did with O2 with previous generations.
The method is the same as it's always been
As with all processes like this BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE YOU START
Enable developer settings by tapping build number (in Settings>About phone) 7 times, enter pin
Go to Settings>System>Developer Options>OEM unlocking and enable, acknowledge the warning
Install the included drivers on your computer by attaching USB cable and setting USB mode to "File Transfer, the drive with the OnePlus drivers should appear, if not I remembered to upload them to my AFH account here, just unpack the zip and install.
Open a command window with administrator rights and run adb devices, acknowledge the prompt on your phone, run adb reboot bootloader to reboot into the bootloader or just enabled advanced reboot in your developer options and reboot to bootloader.
In your command window type fastboot oem unlock and the prompt in the image above will be shown, use the volume keys/power button to select to unlock the bootloader (REMEMBER YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED WITH FACTORY RESET, YOU WILL LOSE ANY FILES ON IT SO BACKUP BEFORE YOU START. You will also ALWAYS get a warning stating the device may not be safe when you start it up, this was forced by Google on manufacturers.
Once the phone reboots you will need to perform your setup again
Delivery was by DPD, they provide an hour delivery slot via both e-mail and sms, bizarrely though, the Three.co.uk rep confirmed, when I called them as I hadn't yet had the delivery confirmation, that the text message would be sent to my new number, which was using the sim, which was in the box being delivered :silly:
The box wasn't too healthy when it arrived but this is what you'll get from Three.co.uk in your package:
When you open up your sim card it will come in a triple snappable design as below, as you can see you want the nano option :
The box contents are the same as the other models, including the case included in the box, here it is on with the grey back, it almost makes it look more silvery in person :
I really need OnePlus to provide a longer charging cable, I'm surprised more people don't complain about this but the cable they provide is comically (although it's not funny) short, it barely makes it from my socket to my desk and the sockets are underneath/behind the desk, the length really is ridiculous.
OxygenOS 9.5.4 was prompted right after I completed setup so my rooting/unlocking/etc was done on this version.
I've installed the rooted and booted image from this excellent thread and as you can see, after following the instructions from the thread, I now have an unlocked bootloader, latest Magisk and BusyBox Pro installed only hours after receiving the device. This provider and option may make a tasty little dev device with that combo:
From my initial tests (including one especially for dladz ) the GPS performance is excellent (That test was indoors on my first floor), Antutu is...a good score? I dunno, I don't really benchmark bruh but the Antutu Benchmark was after I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted with the Magisk guide from the thread mentioned above. No other custom kernel or modification was used apart from that listed above.
Someone else with a different model could possibly do the Antutu benchmark for comparison, with this score, specifically the memory score, I would imagine it will be higher with more capacity.
As someone had asked elsewhere, Voice over Wifi was enabled automatically out of the box and is still enabled for me :
The popup camera isn't as intrusive as you would think and is smaller than you might think, bare in mind all the YouTube reviews had the phone in your face, when you're holding it the popup camera seems a lot smaller, face unlock is still fast but obviously not as fast as previous OnePlus phones without this mechanism.
What I don't like?
The USB cable as I mentioned above.
You cannot register the same finger more than once, this was possible on the previous FP readers and helped with detection, I'm not sure why this was done.
OnePlus has removed the option to long press the back button for recents (Personal preference maybe but why?)
The new swiping gestures you can use instead of nav bar don't work at all well with the included case, goodbye fingertips
The vibration motor does feel stronger but the typing feedback feels like someone tapping the back of the phone, something that can be tweaked in the settings probably.
The curve of the screen makes tapping on some options, especially in the settings toggles a bit tricky.
Granted most of those are teething issues with this new device.
If you want me to try something else or confirm other information, let me know.

Lovely. Good review.. Thanks mate

Great review ?
I'm using the gestures as well and with the case which was in the box and for me the gestures work really well! I needed some time to get used to though, but I have no complains here.

Just another update, someone else had asked about pre-installed apps from Three and sadly there are a couple:
Netflix (Shows an uninstall option but doesn't uninstall, haven't tried with root but that should work I would guess)
"Three", presumably an app to administer your account (That can be installed from the Play Store so shouldn't really have been forced) It has an uninstall option.
"Three Likes", also shown on the Play Store but can be uninstalled easily.
Wuntu, God knows what that is, funky teen community app?
That's about it, nothing too intrusive or bloaty.

Hey buddy,
Thanks for this!
I bought the 8gb model from John Lewis. It prompted me to install Three Likes but quickly uninstalled. For your reference, Wuntu is their discount apps so every now and again you can get a free Costa, personal Domino's pizza, free credit with Ratukin and stuff like that so it's good to have actually.
On the VoWiFi, it works on my phone too (out of the box without needing to use the workaround), but after my phone has been asleep for a while or I leave WiFi and come back, VoWiFi drops out and won't return until I reboot my phone. Any chance you can keep a particular eye out for this to see if it happens to you?
VoLTE works perfectly out of the box which is abig upgrade for Three users from previous OnePlus phones so happy about that.

I'm jealous! EE didn't lock 6t last year but said 7 Pro 5G will be locked! So I need to hope someone clever figures out how to unlock for free!

I want to ask a few question about this 6gb ram, do you had any issue in memory usage so far? (maybe feel lag or something if you opened too many app)
Because my friend had 8 gb ver, and daily usage of his memory ram is 5.8gb In normal usage, not while rendering or gaming. So I'm curious about 6gb ver, did it consume that much too??

How To Guide Galaxy Watch 5 LTE Activation Process for Metro by T-Mobile

Thought I would post this info here as it was a little bit tricky to get the mobile plan activated with the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone. This process should work for any Android phone that has the Galaxy Wearable app installed and already connected with the watch.
When initially connecting Galaxy Wearable with the watch it will prompt to set up a mobile plan which you can skip. If you try to, you will see a screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Don't worry, that message isn't correct. The watch can be set up with Metro.
According to a Reddit post you must have Samsung Pay(Watch Plugin) installed on the phone.
1. I recommend first installing any update(s) to the watch. Be patient with regard to updates. It's best to enable auto-update (Settings -> Software update -> Auto install) and let the watch update itself overnight (while charging). Sometimes you can expedite the update process when, after an update is downloaded and ready to install overnight, you can select the Install Now option. A new watch may have more than one update. Be patient and give it a good day or two if necessary for all updates to apply.
2. Get your IMEI and EID numbers handy. You will need to provide them to the Metro customer support rep. Be aware that because these are very long sequences of numbers, if you make any mistake in providing them to the support rep it will appear as if the watch cannot be activated or is incompatible with Metro.
3. Call Metro support at 1-888-8METRO8 and tell the automated system you want a new plan. When it lists the plans available to add, say "something else" and you'll be connected to a rep.
4. Tell the rep you're adding a BYOD Samsung watch to your plan. Provide the IMEI and when they ask for the SIM use the EID number. These are both printed on the box or available on the watch under Settings -> About watch -> Status info.
5. When the process completes the support rep will assign a new phone number for your watch and you're done with them.
6. Next you need to activate the watch's ESIM in the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone. Click the hamburger menu on the left of the Galaxy Wearable app main screen, then select the gear icon to go into settings.
7. Select "About Galaxy Wearable" and click on the "Galaxy Wearable" text quickly 5 times. This will open a special settings mode.
8. Select "Test ESIM Feature" -> "QR TestMode" and make sure that "Current QR TestMode" is ON.
9. Keep pressing the back arrow to go back to the Galaxy Wearable app main screen, then select Watch Settings -> Mobile plans. From there follow the directions to provide the activation code via QR code.
10. Use the Metro-by-TMobile QR code from this page under the Samsung section. The activation process will complete and you will see this screen:
11. On the Galaxy Wearable app, go to Watch Settings -> Mobile Plans and turn on Metro by T-Mobile
12. After activation you'll see a prompt on the watch to install Metro-specific apps.
13. If you go back into the Galaxy Wearable special settings mode you should see that Current QR TestMode is now off.
14. If you have trouble starting the QR code authentication process in the Galaxy Wearable app, try to initiate the process from the watch via Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks. When it asks if the watch uses the same carrier as the phone you can say "no".
According to the rep I spoke with you can add up to five watches to a plan.

Whoa!May your methodbe the one that allows ANY smartwatch to use the eSIM featureon ANY network?

No qr code on the page anymore

Well SOB now it's there. Yesterday I looked because I had the same issue. They had to send it to me. But thank you for this post, as I got the screen to get to the scan screen.

OMG. I thought I would be using my watch 5 Pro as BT only and I got to the scan screen as well... Now to get the eSIM from my carrier.
it worked. I was able to scan the qr code and add the eSIM from my carrier (OWO CSC region) to my DBT/AUT CSC watch

I have a question would this work between the watch5 and a sony xperia 5 III?

Thanks!!! Last night, got it working solely because of your post. 2 different customer service reps at Metro did not provide steps 7 and 8, so I could never get it working.
I would add step 10b (between steps 10 and 11). On the Galaxy Wearable app, you need to go to Watch Settings-->Mobile Plans--> need to turn on Metro by T-Mobile. After finally activating the service via the QR code, the watch was still not sending/receiving data until I saw that the mobile plan was still OFF.

@Aethera - Thank you so much for this!!!
@Oscar643 - And thank you for the additional step (10b)...

For those having issues turning on the mobile plan after adding an esim from a different carrier in the galaxy watch app. I managed to get around this by turning on the mobile plan through the watch's settings > connections settings.
Phone has esim from carrier 1 and watch has a cheap data + cellular plan from carrier 2. Watch is smart enough to push all sms and notifications from your phone if it can connect to it over the internet, then when you respond or initiate them, it does the same thing in reverse via your phone

The instructions are perfect!!!!
I updated my watch to Galaxy Watch 5 Pro from a Galaxy Watch 4.
After updating my IMEI and EID number online with Metro by T-Mobile, I reperformed all of the steps above.
Worked like a champ on my first try. Did not speak with a human.
