    Abstract: This disclosure describes procedures for maintaining multiple electronic subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) within a user equipment (UE) device, in such a manner that an inactive eSIM can be maintained/updated at the UE device while an active eSIM is being utilized by the UE device to communicate with a corresponding network. The procedures include, a UE device establishing communications with a first network using an active eSIM, initiating an eSIM manager at the UE device, selecting an inactive eSIM (e.g., associated with a second network) with the eSIM manager, applying a profile update to the inactive eSIM with the eSIM manager during communications with the first network, and deselecting the inactive eSIM with the eSIM manager when the profile update to the inactive eSIM is complete. In some configurations, the eSIM manager and the multiple eSIMs can be stored within a secure element of the UE device.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for preferring connections between networks. In one embodiment, a mobile device is capable of hybrid network operation (e.g. LTE and CDMA 1× operation), allowing the mobile device to be registered to a CDMA 1× network for voice calls while receiving and sending data traffic over a LTE network. However, any data sent by the LTE network may be lost if the data was transmitted during a tune-away to the CDMA 1× network to perform maintenance operations. In one variant, the mobile device can disable the idle voice connection to the CDMA 1× network based on a request from resident applications requiring real-time data streaming, which are more likely to experience data loss. Consequently, potential data loss due to a network tune-away is prevented, thereby improving data performance of the resident applications. In another embodiment, an adaptive transmit receive mode can be selectively disabled/enabled for data traffic.
