Pixel 10 too difficult to use Graphene on?

Glimpse5869

I don't usually participate in discussions or post things online but I am at a loss as to where to even start with installing GrapheneOS on a Pixel 10 Pro XL. I currently have a Pixel 6 Pro running Graphene for the last year btw.

The 10 only supports eSim, and i have not been able to find any real instructions at all on how to make that work. I am considering just returning the handset and just getting a Pixel 9 that takes a sim.

I believe many users have been successful by following the installation instructions. If those instructions are followed and trouble is encountered, indicating which step went wrong and the symptoms may enable people to provide advice.

Some guidance about eSIM usage is here: https://grapheneos.org/usage#esim-support, and typically carriers provide steps for installing an eSIM provided by them. Indicating steps that were taken and problems that occurred may enable people to provide advice.

Glimpse5869 not entirely clear what your issue is.

Are you having issues installing GrapheneOS on the Pixel 10XL?

Have you followed the instructions here? https://grapheneos.org/install/web

Or is the issue with enabling esim within GrapheneOS on the Pixel 10XL?

Have you read over the GrapheneOS esim documentation? https://grapheneos.org/usage#esim-support

It would help if you provided more detail on what your exact issues are and what steps you have tried vs what has failed.

Hello, esim support should be as simple as:
esim support on > add esim. :)

It'll turn on dsds for you if needed. No google play services needed.

GOS recommends keeping esim support on if you are using an esim.

I just returned from a European trip where I used an Orange eSim to operate locally.
It worked very well.
The one 'hickup' was the 'Orange Travel' web site is constructed in a way that if you aren't careful, they will charge you multiple times and sell you many eSIMs when you only want one.

Import the 10 from another country that still has sim on the 10?

@Glimpse5869 , this is actually a good idea and something I'd consider. Here in Canada, from what I can see the Pixel 10 still has a physical SIM slot.
