Question SIM Manager Restricted Selections - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

My apologies if this is posted somewhere else. I’ve searched and could not find it, but I may be using the wrong words!
In the SIM Manager, some phones (International, maybe?) there is the option to assign services to each SIM. In mine there is not. It’s one SIM or the other at a time for everything. It’s a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra configured for Spectrum (CHA).
Is this function disabling coming from Samsung’s programming? Spectrum’s? (I've gotten an inkling from what I've found so far it has to do with the CSC.) And of course the big question- Is there any way to change it without risking a phone’s stability? I just want to be able to use my home SIM to be available for calls/texts to my home number and a separate eSIM for data simultaneously while traveling in Europe. Is that too much to ask?
I’ve no experience flashing phone firmware and it’s a brand new phone, so I’m terrified of bricking it.

Unfortunately the US models don't have that feature and you can't flash foreign firmware to it either.

Thanks. I was afraid of that.

You can try a workaround. Worked on my friend's S918U1

Thanks for the rec. It looks like a great app for taking band selection into your own hands. But it does not give you the SIM Manager functionality to select services per SIM, unless I'm missing something?

I know if you have 2 e-sims you can not do this

Just do exactly as the image and you will have seperate SIM for call and SMS

Shoots. Looks like Samsung worked around the work-around. But I'll be watching for an update. Looks like a lot of people are.

Thank you! That worked!
It's definitely glitched. It doesn't show the names of the networks on the eSIMs. Tapping on the one that said Active though and then tapping the SMS preference and choosing the option with a blank label worked.
Now when I send SMS messages I won't have to remember to flip the stupid toggle to avoid texting from my Boost number.
Too bad it didn't also change the RCS number from Boost to Tello but I can live without RCS.

Good to know. But I have one SIM, and the second would be an eSIM. I tried and then removed one when my attempts didn't work. If I see a possible solution, it's worth buying another to test.

The workaround works. Are you sure you hit the more network settings button? I successfully was able to select defaults for my pSIM and eSIM.

Dialer area code location

I noticed on the new rom I have a cool feature on the dialer. When I dial a number, the phone recognizes the area code, and writes the location of the number I'm calling. It even recognizes Canada. Here is a screenshot.

Now, I'm always trying to one-up my iphone buddies, and they showed me what they have on their dialer. Here is a screenshot.
It seems I've been one-upped this time!
Can someone modify our dialer to show the area calling, and better yet, make it so it shows the same thing when receiving a call? That would be great!
Thanks.
Which dialer are you using?

The is the ROM I currently have: NO2Chem nueROM v2.0 Build 5060
I believe the dialer is the Touch Clone Dialer. I've attached the cab file if you want to try (I'm pretty sure this is the one I installed).
I believe mine is the standard Titan dialer with the BlueFrog skin, and mine shows the area too! I never noticed it before.

Oh, I guess it comes with WM6/6.1? Not sure, but when I noticed it, that was cool! But I would very much like to have this for incoming calls, and to show locations (as the iPhone does).
there must be an option to enable or maybe i need some sub-component...because it doesn't show locations on my phone

Wow, so I wonder how I got it, lol. It's really cool, and it would be a GREAT feature if someone (whoever did it in the first place) can make it work the way the iphone dialer works, and if they can make it work for incoming calls.
I use my phone for business, and I can't memorize all the area codes. So it would be great if I can know where the call is coming from.
Oh that would be great if i could get it to show area & state for incoming calls.
Any one have this working that way?

I know, wouldn't that be great?! the iPhone pic I posted above has it for outgoing calls. That would be cool if we can have it for outgoing and incoming.
whats everyone carrier info. i know alot of ppl with sprint phones that do that... are the people who have it working on sprint? cause im on verizon. installed that dialer, and not getting that info.
mine does it and I am on Sprint.
Mine works on Sprint too. It only shows the area after you enter the last (10th) number.
yeh, and im vzw and not working.
anybody on anything other than sprint that has it working?

I'm on verizon too and no dice with area code display. Must be something in the Sprint customizations.

thanks

You can click the pencil and then select what buttons you want to be part of your quick settings. (I don't have phone, but seems like it would work.)

I noticed the pencil icon too but my Edge doesn't have that. Only an edit button and when pressed, you get the screenshot I provided in the OP. Definitely differences in phones...
If you haven't already done so, try turning your hotspot on and off in the settings menu. Then check to see if this brings up the hotspot quick setting. I seem to remember this being the case on my old Nexus 5.
I have an AT&T s6 edge and I don't have the hotspot icon available either.

Missing camera features in FW 9.0.0.146?

I just got the update for firmware 9.0.0.146, and I noticed that all the camera demos and videos of the camera app has that extra icon on the left side that looks like an eye. However, ever since I got the phone and even now with the latest firmware update I have never seen that icon appear in any of the camera modes. I have turned on Master AI as well but still no luck. What is that icon for and is that supposed to be there? Am I missing some features of the camera app?

Hey boss - perhaps I can add some insight.
I've got the same issue.
Can you confirm which version of the phone you have? Did you get the phone from a North American provider?

Yes that's the one indeed. Some of the demo videos I've seen also claim that you can also read barcodes with that. I've never seen that in my camera app since I bought it nor now that i got the firmware update.

Question How to activate VOLTE?

Hi,
Some users have the VOLTE option in sim card settings. It should be under or above "data roaming" option.
However, the VOLTE option is missing for me. When I make calls, it drops to 3g service. I am using t-mobile in USA so VOLTE should be working and supported. My concern is that t-mobile plans to block devices without VOLTE in April 2022, so if i cannot figure it out, i would have to sell the device
Any ideas how to activate it?
I suggest 3 things. Had this issue (but not in US) and these helped VOLTE show up again. Try them in this order and if VOLTE shows up, great, no need to do the rest.
First thing:
Go to "Developer options" and set "5G Network Mode" to "NSA + SA Mode".
May help depending on ISP setup. No clue what TMOB is up to. This allows maximum compatibility, but MAY drain battery faster -- I don't know the full impact of this setting. Note that it often reverts to "default" when rebooting.
Second thing:
Settings > SIM card & mobile data > (pick active SIM card) > toggle 5G off then on again
(On this page I previously had VOLTE option, but it mysteriously disappeared)
Third thing:
1) remove SIM card(s)
2) reboot phone
3) reinsert SIM card(s)
4) reboot phone
Depending on country, sometimes carriers/towers aren't super reliable.
Good luck!
Hey thanks for the suggestions.
First thing: When I go to developer options, that 5g option is greyed out for me. I cannot select it.
Second thing: I only have 4/3g/2G toggle. I did download an app called "force LTE" which activates 5G.
Third Thing; Didn't work.
Thanks for trying to help me. Are you in USA by any chance?
Hi,

How to navigate the VoLTE feature in your realme devices? - realme (India)
VoLTE feature,VoLTE function
www.realme.com
Maybe try to update to the latest rom or reinstall it.
And if still not working you have to contact realme technical support.
Don't know whether it's because the change of 5G Network Mode. The LTE icon doesn't show up, but I do notice the voices in phone calls are louder and clearer.
Does the HD1 icon mean volte?
Propably HD Voice
Well, not in the US but I boot the phone, updated it to last one, reboot. So I didn't check that option since the beginning but I can see it under the SIMcard setting.
I didn't go in dev or else.
My second sim doesn't have that option though.
Hope you fixed it with an update.

Damn, sorry pal. I really hoped that would work for you.
Can you try borrowing a family member/friend's SIM card for 5 mins from their phone and seeing if LTE is greyed out with their card too? If so you can assume it's the phone and not ISP that's being weird...
And nah, I haven't lived in the US in years!

Question Does Network Signal Guru display the QCI?

I test prepaid plans and part of that process involves checking the QCI. I know that Exynos modems have limitations that Snapdragon ones don't. My Pixel 3 XL unfortunately is not supported for NSG and if I can test this with a 6, I'll definitely upgrade. Can someone who has root run NSG and see if it shows the QCI? I believe it normally shows on the second screen you can swipe to. The QCI is your network priority designation which basically tells you if your plan is deprioritized or not so it's valuable information for prepaid customers to have when evaluating if a plan is good for them.
Here's an example of what the page looks like.

Thank you very much!
Did you have to do anything special to get it working or just stock with root?
I am running stock rooted with Magisk since Google doesn't support VoLTE/VoWiFi in my country and I need to go via this route to have a complete phone...
By the way, how would you rate my QCI rating being at 5? Is this good/bad/average?
Thank you!

Awesome, it's great to hear it works without needing custom ROM or kernel because my 3 XL it doesn't work even with a custom ROM or kernel.
That page is actually reading the IMS QCI, I believe you need to swipe one screen left to get your data QCI. Data QCI runs from 6-9 under the standard model we use in the states with 6 being the highest priority and 9 being the lowest. I would imagine that this is universal since it's actually a 3GPP standard.
@mightyvenom So I actually just went and looked and it should be showing on that same page. I read in another thread that there is an issue if DSDS is turned on that NSG can get confused. If you disable it in *#*#4636#*#* and try again, does it show you the info?
It would be strange to not be able to read the QCI of the data APN but it's only seeing the IMS APN for some reason.

I just checked and DSDS is already disabled by default....while there is another option "Cbrs Data" enabled by default.
Does this help somewhat?
PS: I checked the other screens in NSG and there is no other info on this QCI parameter.

Hmmm I wonder if it's your carrier's settings.
I asked in this thread to see if there is something that can be done to fix it - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-for-the-pixel-6-exynos.4380231/post-86325917
You would need to perform a new attach while NSG is running in order to see the QCI for default bearer. Just toggle airplane mode.
Rooted on Jan update won't boot... Uninstalled and reinstalled the app... Anyone have a work around for this issue?
