5G vs JMP SIM Manager
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
5G
Unlock the full potential of your 5G device with this simple utility. This app allows you to open the hidden system network settings menu, where you can force your device to use "NR Only" (5G Only) mode.Most devices automatically switch between 5G, 4G, and 3G to save battery or maintain signal. However, this can be annoying if you are in an area with 5G coverage but your phone keeps dropping back to slower LTE speeds. This app helps you lock the connection to 5G.Features:- One-tap access to network settings.- Force "NR Only" to stay on 5G.- Lightweight and no ads.Important Note:Forcing "NR Only" may prevent you from making or receiving calls if your carrier does not support VoNR (Voice over New Radio) or if you are in an area without standalone 5G coverage. Use with caution and switch back to default settings if you experience connectivity issues.
JMP SIM Manager
JMP SIM Manager is a fully free and open-source companion app for the JMP eSIM Adapter. The JMP eSIM Adapter is a removable eSIM chip that enables any device, not just those with included eSIM chips, to make use of downloadable eSIMs. JMP SIM Manager provides management features such as adding, deleting, enabling, and disabling eSIM profiles for the adapter, and is the easiest option to manage your eSIM Adapter on compatible Android host devices. The manager app is not required once a profile has been downloaded and enabled on the adapter. In other words, you can use a compatible Android device to download your eSIM profile of choice onto the adapter, and then insert the adapter into any device -- Wi-Fi hotspots, dumb phones, laptops -- and the adapter will simply appear as a regular SIM card to those devices. This app also includes a quick compatibility check to determine whether your Android device can be used to manage a JMP eSIM Adapter. Although the eSIM Adapter will work with almost any device once an eSIM profile is loaded, management requires some specific features that may not be present on a small percentage of Android devices. However, even if your Android device is deemed incompatible, you can still manage the adapter from another Android device, using a PC/SC reader on a PC, or, as a final fallback, through the SIM Toolkit menu along with a self-hostable remote server to handle TLS termination.
