Standardwaste Sorry I don't check the forum very often. I've seen threads about using eSim in that way. Personally I just followed a fairly normal provisioning through. There are a few threads on the topic like https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/3976-google-fi-privacy-benefits/6
Does GrapheneOS work with Google Fi
a month later
- Edited
I just installed GrapheneOS onto a Pixel 8 pro with Google FI. I had to fiddle a bit to get the eSim working. Seems to work fine.
I got Google messages to work, but I can't get it to sync. I enabled all permissions for Google Fi and Google Messages. I disabled RCS, apparently that doesn't work with the web version of messages.
When I try to get things to sync I go to messages -> settings -> advanced -> google Fi Wireless calling (sync texts) -> Sign in with your Google Fi account -> My account and email is displayed. When I click on it the bottom of the screen says "to continue signing in select the google fi account used on this device".
I then get into an infinite look asking me to sign in, showing my account, failing with the "to continue..." message.
The fi app however seems to work fine, I can click on the app, review my account, etc.
spikebike More ominously I had an older phone with this working. I was using google fi, google messages, and sync was working. Inside Google messages I clicked on sign out from google fi, then sign in, and it failed in the same way as described above.
