This is what I remember from OnePlus 7 Pro:
Dial *#800#
Tap on "Log Kit"
Tap on "Function Switch"
Enable "VoLTE" Switch
Enable "VoWifi" Switch
Hope that helps!

Edit

Let me share my experience with this too.
I've installed the old OEMLogkit app, because the new app included with the 8 Pro doesn't work.
I've enabled the VoLTE and VoWifi through that, and restarted. The switches were available under both SIM cards' settings, and enabled them, then restarted once again.
Out of curiosity, I followed the tutorial mentioned above, and when I was checking which setting is enabled in the PDC application, I found, that both SIM cards have their own and correct selection enabled.
Sub0 has UK_VoLTE_Vodefone, and Sub1 has Telefonica_UK_Commercial enabled without changing any settings.

I'm not sure what happens but I seem to have 5G with dual SIM,
I'm in France right now so cannot show the 5G indicator in a screenshot if you're wondering, but I have 5G with with Vodafone card in the UK. Will try back when I'm back in the UK later this week

honestly am too scared to mess with the settings , and i tried to translate that page and find a better tutorial but couldnt . am not particularly good with finding the proper settings when it comes to networking stuff .

It's extremely easy to do, just follow the instructions.
This is the original thread here on XDA.
Download the zip from the post above (around 90MB), then install the 2 apks included in the zip, onto your phone.
Open the dialer, then type *#800#
Select EngineerMode
Select OnePlus logkit
Scroll down, click function switch
Turn on VoLTE, click cancel for reboot
Then turn on VoWifi, then click reboot
After reboot, you should have the option available in the settings.
If this works, then you don't need to fiddle with the other programs. It worked for me, because those options were enabled in the PDC program when I checked it, and I didn't have to enable it.
If it doesn't work, then you need to try the program to enable these.

Dual Sim - Turn off Sim (Cyanogenmod 13)

Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I couldn't spot an answer anywhere.
I'm running the latest CM13 rom, and I can't seem to switch sims on/off. I have both sims active, all the time, and I want to be able to turn off Sim 2 at the weekend, but I can't seem to spot the option. Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Unfortunately, there is no option for this !!!!!!!
Thats a little bit annoying. Every other dual sim handset has allowed me to do this, both so I can relax on a weekend, and save some battery!

Thank you for opening this thread. I'm really missing that option too. Also there is no working app for that available yet. In Lollipop they took the option to switch off radio by a schedule and now there is even no option to disable a sim-card anymore.
On stock cm12 this option is present...

On stock COS 12.1 and on cm12.1 is that option available. That's precisely why we miss that option in cm 13. And I really hope it will come back in COS 13.
I second this feature request. Could someone fine out which commits are missing?
hi > my too that proplem
Any idea to solve the problem
News?
dual sim off
plz give some solution for this problem
+1
also missing this feature
I am also missing this feature (( Removing the sim card everytime you want to disable it is not a good solution. It should be possible to disable it on sim cards options.
According to the CyanogenMod forums, this feature was there, but removed..
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic...g-deactivate-single-sim-cards/#comment-599211
If anyone has a forum account there, you could bump it - but I suspect unless one knows a CM developer, or product manager, personally, we aren't getting this back.
And that's a problem.
Maybe an XDA person can branch the old code and make it available as a flashable zip?
I´m missing this feature too.
You can try this if you want. Set mobile data to the Sim you want to disable. Then go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*. Then into phone information and from there turn of radio.

Guide To Enabling Video Calling On Unlocked Note 8 With T-Mobile

Hey everyone, I got my unlocked Note 8 yesterday and have been using it with a T-Mobile sim card. I spent a bunch of time trying to get the built in video calling to work and I finally got it, so I thought I would post a guide so the next person doesn't have to do the leg work.
Here is what I did, and I can now call other T-Mobile users via dialer based video calls: (the one down side is all numbers show the video call option, even if they are not T-Mobile customers, the calls just turn into audio when the other person answers)
1. Download Shortcut Master from app store (Light version works, but it's a great app, support the dev if you can)
2. Open the app and go to the menu (three dot's top right) and select app explorer
3. Scroll down to IMS Settings and select it.
4. Scroll down to ImsSettingsLauncherActivity (last item on my list) select it and hit launch.
5. Select IMS Service Switch and under that turn on everything on that screen. (For me most things (especially RCS items) were disabled by default, but when I looked at a friends S8+ settings they were all on so I tried that and all works now.)
6. Make video calls!
That's it, you should be able to make video calls from the dialer now.
Hope this helps someone! Thanks to the app dev and everyone on here for all the help I have gotten over the years!
Hi, Can you help out enabling HD voice & video for us helpless VZW peeps with the unlocked version? Please!!!

Thank you. Will try if and when I get my n8 unlocked
How did you get this to work? i followed the guide and it shows the video icon in the dialer but when i call a friend with the exact same setup it says "video calling is currently not available" and then only does voice.
---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------
Nevermind i got it ha. you gotta place the phone call as a normal call THEN hit the video icon during the call
Tried it for unlocked on Sprint...lol...no go..
.edit: video icon in phone app, have to test

As far as I'm finding on XDA, we'll need to flash the CSC from a T-mobile device to get this working. When I googled it, I found this thread in the S8 forum with a utility for switching CSCs but I am not sure if it would work for the Note 8, and in my case really not sure if it would work to flash a Tmobile CSC (Snapdragon device) on my Korean Exynos model.
Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264

Interesting, good to know and thanks for the info. I won't be getting the unlocked one, I'm getting the international version for rooting so we'll see if it works with that. Sure hope it does because tmobile reception is abysmal where I live.
I have a t moble variant, I want to flash the unlocked firmware but will able to flashback to the t mobile firmware if I wish? that's the only thing stopping me from flashing the unlocked firmware. the video calling was a big deal for me so thank you for figuring this out. also are you 100% on the unlocked firmware or do you have the t mobile CP flashed with the unlocked firmware?

Sprint Calling Plus update for Unlocked S8 (SM-G950U1)

Hi All,
I recently bought Unlocked Galaxy S8 SM-G950U1 and activated on Sprint, after the activation, the phone downloaded some software and rebooted, it does have WiFi calling enabled, but when I call using Wifi and I walk out of WiFi range it doesn't switch to carrier and disconnect. Also when i am not on WiFi, it uses carrier network, but the internet is not available. I googled and find there is new feature called "Calling Plus" from sprint for Galaxy S8, but I don't find it on my phone. Can someone please guide me on how to download it? If this update is not available for unlocked version of S8, can someone point me to a ROM which provide these features?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like "Calling Plus" is their name for VoLTE (voice over LTE). I'm not familiar with Sprint but generally this is enabled in an IMS settings app or menu.
If you download a shortcut cut app, do you see an app called IMS Settings that can be launched?

I use Shortcut Master (lite). With its menu you would choose App Explorer and see if you have IMS Settings app. If you do, that is probably what you need to launch, and basically just enable everything within it.

ok I did some digging and Sprint says this on their website:
Is Calling PLUS the same as VoLTE (Voice over LTE)?
No, the current Calling PLUS solution provides VoIP capabilities using the Sprint LTE network. Sprint is on a path toward having an all IP-based network capable of supporting VoLTE. We have not announced a timeframe for commercial deployment of VoLTE. Today we offer HD Voice on a very efficient CDMA1x platform and our voice network is ranked #2 nationwide by independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics. We will transition customers to VoLTE when we are confident we can match the great voice experience provided today.

I am thinking this is the same with T-Mobile Wifi Calling where you have to have some underlying apps/framework to have the feature available
Since you are on the stock unlocked firmware, this is probably absent.
The latest Sprint firmware I see on Sammobile is this one from December 2017
If you are not yet rooted you can just flash that with Odin, and use the CSC app (launched via Shortcut Master Lite) to switch the phone's CSC to SPR, though this will wipe the internal storage.
If you are rooted, you would need to find a ROM that is made from/for Sprint I believe.

Guys, I found a way to make VoLTE calling work on my unlocked s8 plus.
1. In Nova launcher add widget -> Activities
2. Add LTE Test -> click VoLTE Test UI-> turn on first 2 setting.
3. Add Enhanced LTE Services and select this option.
4. Restart and enjoy.

I tested it out on my 955U1 Unlocked GS8+ on the latest Beta 7 Oreo software.
I am glad it worked. I was literally jumping at my cube when it worked too ?.

UN-Lock Missing 5G Bands on OP8 Pro

Hello Guyz,
Have been tinkering recently with trying to tweak my carrier_policy.xml file ( tutorial available here https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/ ) with Notepad++ in order to unlock more / as much as / all 5G bands I could possibly get from my device (CN IN2020).
Anyone has tried yet? It seems I can't manage to get 5G (yet) where I am at the moment (Thailand).
The main Telecom operators claim Oppo X2 can get 5G but they don't know about OP8 Pro... Well, the 2 devices aren't that different in their hardware, are they?
I attached my xml file on this thread.
Any help is more than welcome
Hi @Surfeur-des-Reves and nice you have found my site
Can you get log from me https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g...droid-phone/#OnePlus,_Oppo_and_RealMe_devices ? Put this Carrier Policy back to your phone and then just reboot. Please collect then logs so then i can confirm 5G support. Also you should able see 5G icon.
Do you have Oppo X2? Can you get log from Oppo device? Same method should work with Oppo too.
OnePlus have carrier policy just allow 5G certain networks. Other networks by default disabled. I don't know much Oppo but there could have similar system or not. It's just different configuration.

Hello Olkitu,
Thanks for coming back to me regarding this issue with 5G bands on OP8 Pro. Unfortunately, I cannot manage to get the required logs, as it says "cannot get logs" after I finish the process and want to get them. Moreover, I'm sorry, I don't have any Oppo X2...
I'll investigate with Oneplus Thailand and see if they can help me regarding my issue. Thanks for your kind help anyway

Strange error - do you have SIM-card in? Of course to get logs your phone must be connected to network. Or some reason this logcat doesn't work IN2020 model - it worked fine with other models... Just sad because that was only way i could confirm 5G support without root.

Sure I have SIM card in my device, and I can get other logs but not this one, unfortunately. I don't know if it's because I'm using a custom kernel (CleanSlate 1.2.0) as well as xXx No-Limits 11.5 Magisk module or if it's some issue that is specific to my IN2020 model... One thing for sure, I am rooted, so if there is any other way for me to get the data you need, just let me know and I'll gladly follow your instructions.
Cheers!

One thing for sure, I am rooted, so if there is any other way for me to get the data you need, just let me know and I'll gladly follow your instructions.
Cheers!

Aah that custom kernel could cause this issue. That could be reason why logkit doesn't work. Maybe this kernel doesn't have diag so maybe QPST doesn't work too?

QPST works and I could easily get access to the carrier_policy.xml file, through EFS explorer. As you say, the custom kernel might be responsible and developer may have removed some "un-needed" logcats that would slow the CPU down. I will flash another kernel and see if I can get the logs we need, but even if I get them, I've no knowledge of python so I may forward you the log file directly instead, if you're ok with this.

Yes i'm okay with qdml log file With scat there is also possible on fly record logs but it's bit more complicated. Hope get success with another kernel.
Do these instructions still work? I am in the same boat.

Well, I have been trying to get those logs using 3 different kernels, with the same result, always the same error after the "log recording process" is finished: "Cannot get log" message. Anyway, it's okay, I can live with 4G+ instead of 5G. If there is any other way, please let me know. Thanks anyway

Well i think you can get 5G working without logkit... I just was interested about your log and that log is way to confirm you have 5G enabled... Otherwise not easy really... With CellMapper you should of course see 5G details and when it's connected.
I've actuallyjust been told today by OnePlus Thailand that even though(some of) the 5G bands used by my carrier are compatible with my device OP8 pro, they are in 'testing phase' and it should be activated "by the end of the year".
Might be some bull**** though, hard to know for certain.

That could be possible. They like to test before enable 5G - i think about same as VoLTE/VoWIFI... But atleast we have hack to enable it manually...
root or no root settings database editor like in pics or activity launcher so you can enable bands is easy way

Installed SetEdit but couldn't manage to get my modified settings saved, would definitely not survive a reboot anyway. About Launcher Activity, here is what I'm getting through RFToolkit:
https://imgur.com/7alNgsd
This is for the IN2020 Global phone. Wonder how to activate the 5G bands that are shown at the bottom of picture...
I'm also in Thailand and using AIS but my device is IN2023 purchased from AIS Store , are you on AIS as well? I have also tried editing the carrier policy and tried many different ones, but the most I could get was seeing this 5G DCNR Restricted(EPS Feature) = True in Cellmapper app. Also I have contacted both AIS and Oneplus and got the same reply as you did. I can't understand why they cannot enable it for Oneplus when they support Oppo Find X2 Pro.

I couldn't save the settings as well, just resets everytime you close and reopen the app, and my RFToolkit also doesnt have any NR bands ticked.

I am on True. I wish I could help more, but for now, I decided to go with their (already fast) 4G+. If any future update brings 5G here, it should and will be without modifying the carrier files or tweaking our phone.
By the way, are you also affected by the thermal throttling on your phone too?

Yes, I was also waiting for them to bring it officially, but since its gonna take time, thats why i decided to play around with the carrier policy file as well.
And yes, my phone does heat up more than usual at times, most of the times when its on mobile data, and also during sunny outdoor conditions using camera etc brings up the overheating warning. But since the latest update 10.5.11 AA , I didn't experience this yet, but I'm not sure yet if they have brought some fixes or not since its too soon to tell. I don't have any thermal throttling when playing games though.

[Guide] Activate Native Video Calling (over LTE), RCS & other features

Quick Note before you start this - If you are on stable one UI 3.x / Android 11 or greater, see the bottom of the post to see the workaround. Thanks to @knuschit
Introduction - If you have ever bought a device that comes locked with the carrier you will see there are some carrier baked features missing in unlocked devices. While putting in your sim will change CSC of your device you might still not get all the features. So far i fail to understand why would device makers and Carriers make it so difficult for users. I have scourged through so many forums and found info like these where a t-mobile rep responds saying there is no way those features can be added to non carrier branded device ( Either a blatant lie or the reps are ill informed or both).
My Device - Unlocked SM-N986U1 with tmobile sim - CSC - TMB/TMB/XAA
Problem Statement- I want Video calling over LTE and RCS features.
Solution - Follow the steps carefully and also see the attached screenshots -
There are other ways of doing this by creating shortcut to ims service settings but i am posting something that most users can easily do.
Quick Pre-Check - Before starting if you have been using RCS on Google Messages you might want to de-register. Follow the process here: https://messages.google.com/disable-chat.
You can always activate it in case you want to go back to RCS on google messages.
This will only work if you are on Android 10, or the Beta version of Android 11. Samsung has blocked this on Stable Android 11.
STEPS​1. Download and install Phone app (By google)
2. Open the phone App that you just downloaded and make it your default Phone app.
3. Dial *#*#467#*#*
4. You will see the settings as in my Screenshot 1
5. Tap on IMS Service Switch (The first Option)
In case you cant see the screenshot - Just tap on the first option IMS service Switch, Then make sure MMTEL Switch and RCS Switch is toggled on.
If you see below RCS Switch there is a section titled MMTEL
Sub-options of MMTEL are
VoLTE
VoLTE-Video
VoLTE-Call-Composer
SMS over IP
Supplementary Services
Called Dial Third Party Number
JUST TURN ALL THESE TOGGLES ON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
7. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
8. I changed back to default phone app after this.
9. And done you should have the video calling over LTE to fellow T-Mobile users activated now.
I have already made a few calls and tested it and can confirm that this works. This might work for Sprint too.
NOTE THAT - Default video call on contacts is still duo. you have to make a regular voice call to a contact first then you will see the native video call icon.
These settings wont stick after OS/Firmware update via Odin, OTA or Sideload and steps would need to be repeated.​
Edit Update -You can See all three screenshots together here.
Let us know how it goes here and if you explored any more settings and i will update this post with due credit.
WORKAROUND: SINCE THE ABOVE METHOD IS NOT WORKING ON ONE UI 3.X / Android 11​The conventional method doesnt work on Android 11 so use the method below:
1. Install Alliance Shield X >> Create account and Give necessary permissions
2. Open Alliance Shield X settings and toggle New App Manager Layout On
3. Look at this post and follow
4. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
5. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
I can confirm this works.
ADDITIONAL CONFIRMED INFO FROM USERS / TROUBLESHOOTING​
Try the following step in case you had RCS activated on Google Messages and doing the above steps does not get you RCS in the Native SMS App. Thanks @Compusmurf

What specifically has to be on to get native video calling? Got RCS using this method from another post, but video calling still uses duo.

I have swited on all the options but for Video you mainly need VoLTE, VoLTE-Video and VoLTE-Call-Composer to be toggled on.
Also this site is further compressing the pictures hence you guys cant see. when i get time i will upload to some pic sharing site.
I have an unlocked phone from EE in UK and this doesn't work for me

The default on contacts will still show duo. Make a regular voice call and then you will see the native video call icon wait i will show you as you can SEE HERE
As soon as the person answers the option to toggle to video is activated in the first row center icon. Let me know if that is the same for you and works.
It used to be a call hold icon earlier before we toggled the IMS settings.

I don't have the option to make a regular video call. After I place a voice call, the native video call button appears on the dialer screen with the active call, but it's greyed out.

The other person needs to have that option too (Why not just call me), JK sorry dont know how to help you here. if you know someone who got S8, S9, S10, S20, Note 8, 9, 10 or 20 phones directly from TMobile call them and since they would already have it yours wont be grayed out anymore.

I have a U.S t-mobile branded phone (AT15 ; Sep security patch)and use the Samsung stock messaging app. I have been hoping for RCS to be enabled but that hasn't happened yet. I know google messaging has this feature but I prefer to stick with my current stock samsung messaging app. Will following your method help me in activating RCS? Thanks!

Yes it will and i can confirm i checked and it is working. I see when my friend with RCS activated is typing. So typing indicators are working a big sign that RCS is working.
To verify before you do any of the above steps open your default Samsung SMS app and go to settings by clicking on 3 dots on top right, do you see an option called 'Chat Settings' if not, once you have gone through the suggested steps above you will see chat settings activated meaning RCS working.
Also, might add. IF you were previously using Google messages, then you do this, you probably will have to UNREGISTER from Google Messages for Samsung Messages to pick up RCS.....

Thanks for confirming.
I did all this a week or 2 back to mine and my granddaughters phones.
I didn't do any kind of writeup because this info has been out there in the wild, just not overly shared because there are other options in that menu that can wreck your phone experience.
Glad someone did.
(Note to folks, don't go randomly changing things here if you don't know what they are and haven't been validated by others)
Since you did so good here, you should write a document for folks how to "update" using FRIJA and ODIN for folks with U1 devices. Maybe that'll cut down on the folks that complain that they can't get Month X security update because Carrier Y is slow.
I know how, but writing a document step by step isn't the same and I'm very bad at documentation.
