Activating 5G standalone

[paulchauveau]

Hi Debbie,

I am really struggling to get 5G SA enabled on my S24 with X24 All rounder plan and have tried physical sim then eSIM and finally a sim that I am told by EE shop is from new stock.

Ive tried to test in Manchester and Central London. The postcodes have been confirmed as being in 5G SA coverage.

Ive had many calls and 2 with level 2 tech. I’m waiting on a call back from the second.

I use engineering mode in the phone to see if on 5G SA. I’m only on NSA.

It took me two weeks to get my Vodafone phone onto 5G SA when they first launched. But have it a good coverage.

Hi,

Sorry to ask you but can you confirm you are either using Samsung engineering code *#0011# or NetMonster or Cellular Z or the likes to confirm you are on 5G SA and not 5G NSA?

@maverick6 I got a S24 Ultra and got this the day before yesterday in Cardiff

Wow that's more like it 👏 

[maverick6]

No not using those it'll tell you in the sim info

Also it shows you in the status bar because instead of volte next to the 5g symbol it'll say vo5g instead

5G SA is not faster than 5G NSA so Speedtest doesn't confirm you are on 5G SA.

Use the Samsung engineering mode or cellular network app to confirm.

Would be great to have confirmation that you are on 5G SA with S24.

I have 5G SA working on Vodafone and will send screenshots later showing 5G SA.

@paulchauveau I was checking service mode I was definitely on 5G SA.
