Android 12 beta is out, esim is supported! But it's a bit rough and a bit laggy.

Last time I was on a Samsung beta they pushed updates pretty quick.  But yes the first one had issues and was much better with just one update.

Guessing it'll be a while until TNX is available by esim - T-Mobile users are getting errors trying to activate so they aren't supported either.

Yeah I don't particularly care about esim but the lag and typing there are major issues I'll be going back to stock when I get home.

Did you clear cache?  My S21 seems very snappy this afternoon, though I do use a different launcher.

Downloading a new update now, but it says it's still at the Sept security patch level.  The description says overall stability of device has improved, along with security.  The last 4 of the version is AUIL

It looks like the *#0011# service mode screen shows some more info now.  Like GUTI?  NR_Tx Phy Channel Type: PUCCH?

Wow, I have the Android 12 (One UI 4) update downloading now.

pretty wild, they just announced it like what, 2 days ago?? Impressive. I'm hoping some 5GUC pops up, they've been doing  a lot of work around me lately. Not sure who's network is getting the work done though, our local places don't report the permits very well anymore.

Installed and running.  No issues so far.

Just FYI, I ALWAYS clear my cache partition after every update.

And the phone has massive lag while scrolling, 120hz touch input is bugged. 

Some people in the beta reported this and stated it disappeared in a week or so. Did you try clearing you cache?

Yes, I see this too. I thought I posted this comment yesterday but it never loaded I guess. Cache clearing doesn't help. It's a bug fo sho.

I just updated my Note 20 to the UI 4 beta and it is noticeably more sluggish due to same bug.

What actually helps is turning off adaptive display because the sluggishness seems to be when the display switches hz.

Shouldn't have to disable features to make the phone usable.

I haven't noticed any of this, S21 Ultra. Downloaded and installed the update yesterday.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
