This may already be well known, but if you have Google Fi or T-Mobile (MetroPCS, Mint, etc.} or any other MVNO of T-Mobile, you'll be stuck on November 2022 security patch: apparently Dec & Jan update screws up Google Fi and T-Mobile ESIM capabilities, and so they pulled the update. I use Mint mobile, so I searched around and found out all I had to do was slap in a non-Google Fi or T-Mobile SIM card (I used an old inactive Verizon SIM), and immediately when checking for an update after doing so I got the Dec/22, then Jan/23 updates. I don't use an ESIM, so it won't affect me. If you use an ESIM, do a little research before you try it because I don't know how it affects it.

Nice trickery!
I'm a little confused about the general problem. Is the Pixel 7 delay about the same problem affecting Pixel 5 when switching between 4G and 5G? FWIW, instead of OTA push updates I just flash the latest firmware and with January's update I have no 4G/5G switching problems using a Mint SIM card.

It's affecting other Pixel models yes, and from what a read it has to do with ESIM compatibility with Google FI & T-Mobile and so they're holding back the update (the carriers are). I use an actual SIM and just wanted the update. I shut off 5G for better battery, just don't need it. I would've just flashed the update because it's slow OTA (or is it just the phone?), but I haven't bothered to find out how to do it. The 2 updates I got (Jan & Dec) took like 45 min each.

I spoke to a network tech he said it would be available in April. He lied. Sprint purposely disabled the feature to force a new device purchase. If we can hack VOLTE on oreo and not pie its very revealing about their designs
---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------
While we're at it where is the Download Booster?
That's strange
On my Samsung galaxy so note I haven't been able to receive any data to surf the internet or send sms if I am on the call yet it says I have volte enabled??? So why won't it work??? The frustration with Samsung is real......... And sprint...... It says enabled volte provision whatever that means.
i have a unlocked sprint Note 9 & after pie update there is no VoLTE now. (I am trying to use it on JIO network in India).
Is there a way to Install Other Global ROM instead of Sprint ROM so that VoLTE can naturally be activated & not hidden or disabled ?

Volte
Talk To Tech with customer support at Sprint today and he tell me that the note 9 will get a software update On October 24, 2019 for the note voice over LTE and other phones
Its almost January 2020. Still VOLTE remains at large.
Volte now on Note 9 Sprint
Took the UI 2.0 Update this morning and VOLTE on the Note 9 for Sprint
Confirmed note9 in maryland, talk and surf working outside of DC.
VoLTE appeared after latest update.
A bit worried that all regions get an update or even more than one, and I am sitting here waiting...
S21 ultra exynos, Mena region
Am I alone?
I'm with you as well. UK, Three network and no update since AUAC just after I received the phone.
Nothing for me here in Australia yet
Same here on my US Unlocked version. I ended up just downloading the firmware manually and updated in odin without wiping.
Same, still on AUAC version, Jan security patch. There were two updates since I got the phone in the first few days of Feb.
I'm in New Zealand.
Samsung seems to do a very slow staged approach which I guess is so they catch issues before they affect too many people. But it is a bit frustrating when you really want to see the camera improvements...

I didn't even get the updates you mentioned.
Guys, be aware of the fact that it takes Samsung a few weeks (up to month) to push out each update to every supported CSC. I literally just got my update (that released on 2/11/21) about five minutes ago, lol - and that's in North America.
So don't expect to get each update with this device as soon as it launches in one specific region. You just have to wait a little longer with Samsung devices (or, you can do it manually if your update is already publicly available online).
But with all of that said, this update is only around 350mb and is listed to only contain the February 1st security update and another camera performance increase update. So no worries, people! (and someone can make a pinned post with some of this general information if they want to. This is our community development forum, and so I want people to know what's going on out there).
Not so much that, but carrier versions need carrier approval.
T-mobile US I had to search for the update but just installed it.

How? Same carrier and I've got nothing
Sadly there is NO CLEAR thread that explains in SIMPLE terms, for what exact model, what firmware version need to be installed in order to avoid data wipe.
Example XXUC = you can install only XCI, XCP, and XCR version safely without wipe.
Version IUYC = you can install only xxx, xxxx, and xxx version safely without wipe.
Every thread that i have read, looks confusing, does not state what can cause brick, what to keep an eye on, nothing!

Guys....DO NOT update to A17.....screen refresh rate is fixed to 60Hz.
The only place now when I get 120Hz is notification bar when I expand it....
Phone feels laggy now due to 60Hz
Ok...after 5 min its ok...

Hey, i bought this phone because of "eSIM support" which normally this phone could have and a lot of websites say it have eSIM support. Normally Snapdragon 865 is compatible with eSIM but Samsung doesn't released update to enable it.
I found some clues that with Note 20 Ultra was possible to active eSIM without Samsung update (at the end they got eSIM update) link here.
I have root at my S20 FE 5G so i tried too some mods but it doesn't work at the end.
1. Decoded CSC
2. Changed <CscFeature_RIL_SupportEsim>FALSE</CscFeature_RIL_SupportEsim> to TRUE
3. After reboot got message "Search for your new mobile plan?"

So i don't have any extra option to add QR Code, here is no "menu below" and i don't see any eSIM menu in settings.
Tried to add EuiccService.apk to system/priv-app/EuiccService which was success recognized but didn't help.
Is here anyone who got working eSIM support with this phone?
hmm, maybe if you can find someone with e-sim functionality working (and maybe root) they could run logs before activating the feature. help you run down all the processes, libraries and whatnot involved.
I have S20 5G with eSIM but no root. Logcat works without root so i can get some logs.
I added EsimClient.apk and EuiccService.apk to priv-apps looks like those apps are working but further problem with SimModel.
Someone know which app or something give this log?
"SimModel: [C] esim is not supported"
One step further ;]
SimModel give another things and now can i use QR code...
don't get me wrong, I know nothing at all about android but I'm thinking this kinda sounds like there might be a prop file somewhere too.

No :/ I use further 2 x SIM no space for my MicroSD.
S20, S21 series use SN100U (with PN547 NFC contriller) SoC for esim works (I don't know which SoC used on S22 series). I asked 4pda users what NFC chip built in their devices using Device info HW app. Then I got that: 4G used PN547, 5G used sec-nfc driver (both versions based on Snapdragon). And I have 5G versions, And too have sec-nfc. But, through logcat I got messages from s3nsen4 nfc SoC. On Samsung official site writen, that SoC support eSIM, but I don't found firmware for this. And sorry for English, I study it yet

It was on April's Fool Day from what I can gather! https://www.xda-developers.com/android-13-esim-report/
Such a ludicrous situation Samsung, are you listening?
[EDIT]: Maybe it wasn't a joke after all https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/esim-mep.
But manufacturers (Samsung) will still need to integrate it / enable it, when 13 is released some time soon... can we hope?
Did anyone get this to work or have any updates?
now that android 13 is out on this phone..
not esim, but flash android 13 and now dual sim is working on t-mobile.
Can anyone confirm if this is active on their phone (especially from India)? I really would like to switch to eSIM for both slots but a bit reluctant.
Google Pixel 7 now has dual eSIM support after Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2 update
It looks like dual eSIM support has finally found its way to the Pixel 7, and could get a wide release with the upcoming Pixel Feature Drop.
www.xda-developers.com
It's working for some and not working for others. There seems to be a required server side update on the sim manager app in order for it to work.
It's not working for me and I'm very annoyed about it.
Thank you, guess will have to wait some more time.

But who exactly is it working for? I've seen one report and screenshot from a Reddit user. Everyone else I've seen test hasn't got it working. Back in October one person reportedly had dual eSim on this forum. So how do we know this isn't just another bug? I'd love it to be released in March feature drop, but I'm not holding my breath, so far I've seen no solid evidence that might indicate this, only hearsay and dubious "proof".

Seeing how I was the person who had dual eSIM here, it's more frustrating for me than others who didn't have it to begin with.
That said, there has been talk since just before release about Google releasing dual eSIM in the March update (they say Germany here but there's no reason they wouldn't drop it in the US where eSIM is actually useful) so here's hoping.

As a European, I can confirm not having dual SIM here is a PIA, I have sims for 3 countries in Europe and when I travel further afield, I get a temporary 4th. At least with a dual SIM tray you have flexibility, but the current pixel 7 is driving me nuts. I bought it knowing dual esim wouldn't drop until March, so the lost convenience of a dual SIM tray was factored in. I just hope it does actually drop.
Do you not still have dual esim then?

It's becoming more and more common for people to carry around multiple carriers here in the US too and eSIM is really taking off.
Nope, they took it away some time between October and December. I wasn't using it at that point so I didn't notice it was gone until I wanted to use it when I picked up a second eSIM again in December.

Taking with a pinch of salt since feature drop isn't due till march. That said, SIM manager app is not necessarily related to feature drop.
That also said, if this post on Reddit is reliable, SIM manager isn't what controls MEP (as the current SIM manager available for non Beta devices was updated in October and is Version D.2.1.473171966).
I successfully downloaded 2 esim profiles using Google Fi and Verizon. Works fine. Only flaw is can only have 1 active at a time. Using 1 esim and 1 physical sim, you can use data from one profile and calls and texts from the second profile.

Multiple eSim profiles is standard, what is supposedly coming soon is dual active eSims.
