Recapping...
my old phone is using a physical and an esim. Both from the same carrier.
I took my fresh, stock P8P to the phone store, they had to do something on their end to swap the E-Sim into the P8P. I left the store with both sims working as expected.
I got home and flashed GOS with both sims in the phone. The physical sim worked as expected. The E-Sim showed no connection. I toggled esim support to ON and rebooted. Still no connection on the E-Sim. It shows up in the the slot like it's there, but it wouldn't connect. I was seeing the signal icon with the "!" on it in the status bar.
I eventually factory reset the phone (from the bootloader menu) with the physical sim out. When the phone booted, the E-Sim had a connection and was working as expected. Great. I popped in the physical sim and rebooted. This time, it was the physical sim that won't connect.
So far, it looks like I can't figure out how to get both sims to be working at once. Either the physical or the E-Sim doesn't have a connection to the network. I've been through menus and tried every sim, data, voice, sms combo I could. I haven't really found any recent info on esims in the forum that is helping.
Any ideas? Should I start a new thread?
