Hi All,
For those Canadians using either the OP8 or OP8 Pro, are you getting 5G with your carriers? I see that all the big three (Rogers/Bell/Telus) have launched 5G networks in various cities across Canada. I'm with Telus using the OP 8 Pro in Vancouver but cannot seem to get 5G downtown. According to Telus' map, I should have 5G coverage but the phone only shows 4G.
What variant of the OP8 do you own?, the only ones that work with North American 5G are the IN2015 and IN2025,
IN2020, 2021, and2023
and
IN2010, 2015, and 2013
All lack NA 5G bands

I've got the NA (IN2025) version which has B66 - Telus' 5G is deployed on that band.

It may not have the ENDCs for Telus n66, submit a bug report on OnePlus community and maybe they can add support in a future update:
https://forums.oneplus.com/feedback/?node_id=230
It also may just not be enabled in the band combos, follow this guide to see if you need to add them:

I'm in Surrey, close to Vancouver but I don't think close enough to be around 5G towers. Maybe I'll make a drive downtown to test but my bigger issue is trying to get VoWiFi to work with Telus!

Done. I have logged a bug report! It still sucks that 5G is not enabled out of the box. No 5G support out of the box, no dual SIM support for IN2025 model even now- I can understand the frustrations with the device.

Yeah that works. Or at least I think it does - I see an HD icon during some calls and I believe that's the indicator it's working.

You'll know if volte works if you get simultaneous voice and data, it'll also show a VoLTE icon in the status bar.
You can also try to force that on with this app:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl...ase/onepluslogkit-1-0-2-android-apk-download/
Install it, dial *#800#, enter logkit, Function Switch, tick volte and vowifi and then reboot.

I don't get any status bar icon but that may be because I have it turned off in settings.
I did go into the logkit (had to install the OnePlus 7 Pro version to see the settings) to turn on both VoWiFi and VoLTE.
On my previous Pixel device, I would see an icon saying "HD" next to the call duration and I see the same thing on this phone, which leads me to believe it is working. I can also tell by the call quality as well. I haven't noticed if I have simultaneous voice and data but I'll check that the next call I'm on.
As for VoWiFi, I think the function switch settings just show the toggles in settings but it doesn't do anything. Just ends up being a dummy switch.
I called Telus to activate/register the device IMS and the first rep had no idea what I was talking about. Second rep gave an indirect answer by saying "everything is fine on our end so your device may just be incompatible".
Strange because I called to register my Pixel's IMS and VoWiFi and VoLTE immediately worked afterwards. Maybe I just got lucky with a more knowledgeable rep back then.
I'm going to try and reach out to live chat support to see if they can provide any more answers because it would be nice to have both features working rather than just the one.
Hey, I have been unable to get it to work for me, I must have some mistake in my carrier policy edit. Would you be able to send me a copy of yours so I can compare?

Hey, I've attached the file here. Note that if you update to a newer version of the firmware or remove the SIM, the file will revert to the original and you will have to do this over again.

I had to do the same but I also had to run QPST and change the profile to get it to work. I used to get the VOLTE icon but after the last firmware update, it seems to have disappeared. But I still get the HD icon when on calls, so I assume it is still working.
I'm kind of disappointed with OnePlus here - no VOLTE, 5G or dual-SIM working out of the box, even after three months of owning the device. For a US$1000 phone, this is pretty unacceptable. And having to muck around in the settings to get VoLTE or 5G working (and doing this on every firmware update) is not something I want to keep doing.

I think for VoLTE and 5G, all of the responsibility lies on OnePlus. The fact that these can be (temporarily)enabled manually after mucking around in the config files clearly points to OnePlus needing to do work to support this. Why advertise 5G and then create a blacklist for it?

To your knowledge, will this get VoLTE also?

I just got me new Oneplus 5 and my carrier supports wi-fi calling but only on a very restricted amount of Android devices like Galaxy S6/7/8 so no official support for Oneplus phones but is there any way to force the activation on the 5 with an app or something else if you have a rooted device?

Wow, that sucks if it's true. Do you know if it works on unlocked versions of these phones? If it doesn't, it could be something the carrier added.
Just to rule out the obvious... You need to manually enable WiFi calling on OP5. It's a toggle switch in the "SIM & network" section in the settings menu.
If that doesn't do it you might try editing /system/build.prop and changing ro.product.brand and ro.product.model to a known working model.
No setting option to enable it is there on the OnePlus 5 but same Sim in an S7 has the option to enable!
I will look at the build prop
Let me know if that works.. ?

I'm hoping this too !
IMS dictates WiFi calling configuration. Hopefully you can spoof the device into thinking it's an approved one for your network?
I have the same issue on my networks in Canada. It's restricted to just a couple devices and when I did the build.prop edits I got the options but when I turn it on nothing happens as in Canada we need to accept a user agreement for it and that never comes up for me to activate it. So I either need to do that on an approved phone or live without it

What did you edit in the build prop file to get the options to show up?

I have EE WiFi calling on me 1+5 and I'm rooted? The device deffo has if because you can get a VOWIFI status bar icon....
I think I enabled it on my sim prior to root though.... Dunno if that makes a difference as maybe registers again IMEI? I don't see why root would make a difference though

It is not root making a difference it is you would probably need root to enable you to activate something on the phone if your carrier is not supporting the OnePlus for wifi calling!

Ok we are getting closer so thank you!
I added the following from the first post you referenced to my build.prop:
#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT
persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1
persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1
#endif
Then this allowed the VolTE and WiFi Calling setting to show up and I can activate it but when I try to make a call it still seems to go out over Cellular network and no icon in the status bar to say that it is active etc.
This is the details of my carrier and wifi calling instructions etc.:
https://community.meteor.ie/device-help-187/everything-you-d-like-to-know-about-wifi-calling-218595

I suspect there are some firmware files missing which it needs to use wifi calling, you could do an adb log cat to a file whilst making. a call (you have to be tethered to your pc) so you can post the logs here to see if anyone can help.
You could try using Hangouts as it uses wifi for calling etc
I'm on AT&T and I got my phone a few days before I actually switched to it. When I went through the settings without a sim inserted, I know I saw an option for wifi calling and enabled it. Now with the sim card in there, there is no trace of this option. I will be watching this thread now, as I've been pondering paying for a microclimate, but if this gets figured out, then I'm good to go.

Will that work on Tmobile SimCard as well of just Verizon?
What about AT&T? Will It work
I hope that I'm wrong but I'm about 100% sure that this will not work for AT&T. AT&T actually requires a Specialized or particular APK to work. In my previous phone Galaxy S7 Edge these apps were installed during flashing of the CSC

I wonder if this will get wifi calling once I root. The rooting process uses a method of mixing boot files and essentially makes it a U1 rom with a Verizon csc but wifi calling isn't available. I'm going to give this a go to see if it'll enable it. If anyone has tried let me know. Thanks to the OP for this one.

Interested to know if this fixes wifi calling, if so that's the only reason I haven't checked out root - I get 0 signal at work, and depend on wifi calling for my primary cell number. Google voice works over wifi of course!

Hey,
I can enable video calling but I cannot use it.
When I make a call, it just shows up for a second and turns off. Does anyone have this issue?
Before I updated via OTA to 8.1 the Essential was connecting to LTE without issue. Since 8,1 I have to connect to CDMA and 3g in order to user my Dialer, otherwise Server Error is generated. No calls in or out.
I wanted to downgrade Yes rebooted, factory reset, etc.
I searched google up and down with no real answers that work. How do I get Sideload working again? It has to be a simple configuration or driver problem I will assume.
Thanks

I wrote that post that he referred you to, and while it worked in Oreo 8.0 it does not seem to work in 8.1 for me either.
Try this:
dial *228 and get a PRL update
reboot
*#*#4636#*#* (it may take a few seconds for it to come up if you do it right after a reboot)
set it to LTE/WCDMA
reboot
(you may have to check in mobile network settings that your APN is set to VZWINTERNET)
Let me know how it works out for you. I know that Verizon doesnt support WCDMA, but it forces you over to the Verizon LTE bands which is more or less the goal of this. For some reason this functions differently than any of the other settings that include LTE in them (believe me, I've tried them).

Yep those are how the menu should look for a device that's not locked to sprint. It seems to me there are some firmware files that prefer sprint in these beta builds, because even on other carriers (and more than one person has said this) you can see 'sprint' pop up in the bar or in the settings even when you arent on sprint.
Interesting that yours gives you the option of 'wifi calling provisioned', I cant get that to not be greyed out on mine.

Yeah I've screwed with this phone so much I don't know what I did LOL but now it shows wifi calling even in dialer. I'm not sure if it really works cuz I have a good signal so it never switches. My e911 address is set up from my Moto z and I do have a wear24 watch tied to this phone not sure if that's what triggered it. ? I did get a new SIM card on Monday as well because I was fighting with the vzw crap so I don't know exactly what triggered the WiFi calling.

That's where I'm at too... the one thing that might be different about this is I tried my old steps first before figuring out how to get it to work with these new ones... seems like a lot of effort, but it might be what is needed (or some amount of it) to get it all working. So try going through the old ones before the new ones (you probably dont need to *228 again since you just did)

I'm still routinely messing with it because I feel like the setting I have now prevents me from falling back to CDMA if LTE is unavailable for some reason. Fortunately that is a rarity for me... but I maintain that Essential has something in the ROM itself that is preferring sprint and I think it's screwing with us using Verizon.

That's where I'm at too... the one thing that might be different about this is I tried my old steps first before figuring out how to get it to work with these new ones... seems like a lot of effort, but it might be what is needed (or some amount of it) to get it all working. So try going through the old ones before the new ones (you probably dont need to *228 again since you just did)

There is something there.
I've done that procedure.
If I go into the menu and play around it will try to connect to sprint even with a Verizon SIM. Go figure?

Exactly. If I leave it on certain settings it'll actually sit there and tell me I'm connected to Sprint.

I just reported this to Essential in their beta feedback.
Others should report their similar issues.
It seems to be associated with them making a unified release.
If you look at some releases they are specifically for Sprint or Not.

Doing the same right now. Just glad Im not the only one having the problem.

Thank you for the steps but still cannot use 4G for phone calls, but it does work for internet, facebook, email,etc.
Have to go back to 3G for phone calls.
Very interesting why it happening and not widespread. No special configurations or setups on my phone.

Try turning off Enchanted 4G LTE Mode. It's possible going to 8.1 just reset this setting to on. This should only be on if you have HD Voice enabled on your line on Verizon (you'll have to call Verizon to enable it, it's a free feature).
This should fix server error on 4G, randomly connecting to Sprint is a separate issue.
UPDATE Now working
Took the advice from someone on Reddit who had the same problem. Ran to VZW store and received a new SIM. Without any programming on my end or reboot, back to LTE without issue. FINALLY. As soon as the rep popped in the SIM the essential connected on its own.

Just wanted to second this post that a new sim card is the key to solving this issue. In my case, I was using Red Pocket CDMA (VZW network), and I ran into the same problem. Red Pocket rep explained to me that my sim got provisioned to 3g only and that I needed a new sim to connect to LTE. As soon as we switched to a new sim, I got LTE. I hope this helps others.
Hi, I've seen where some users have reported success getting VoLTE to work on the OP 6 on AT&T, but I have not had the same success in the OP 6T. I followed the same steps and enabled it on the phone, which now shows that it should use VoLTE when available. I have also spent many (painful) hours in the phone with AT&T trying to resolve this issue, all without success. Has anyone else been able to get this to work, and confirmed that LTE data is still presented when in a call?
Thanks in advance!
I have the McLaren version and with TMobile and I can confirm that it is using VoLTE see picture below.
"technically" I'm using at&t, but it's a tracfone sim via Straight Talk. I enabled it for both VoLTE & VoWifi, and the LTE one took off but the wifi version did not.
I DID notice the difference in call quality. Much better audio response.
Yeah. I'm on AT&T and I got VoLTE working. I just made a call and did a speed test while on the call. Everything indicated it was still on LTE.

I had issues with VoLTE when I first got phone. Read my post from another thread. Basically had to wait for AT&T to get my line provisioned correctly. Don't know exactly what needed to be changed/activated.
sharksfan7 said:
I got my 6T on Friday. Used @crowsnestitsupport's instructions for the *#800# trick to get the VoLTE & WiFi calling settings to show. Popped in my sim. Had LTE data but didn't get VoLTE & couldn't get AT&T's VVM app to activate. Called support, ended up giving them my IMEI and not surprisingly it came up as Unknown Device. Guy basically said until the system can recognize the device there was nothing he could do to get VoLTE & VVM working. However after I got off the phone, I quickly realized I no longer had any mobile data at all. Called back, spoke to another rep, and she tried for an hour to get my data back. She wasn't able to. She had to escalate the issue and said it could take 24 hours or more to resolve. I figured out that if I changed APN from ATT Nextgenphone to ATT Phone I could at least have some mobile data, albeit only 3G. Wasn't until Sunday afternoon that LTE came back online including VoLTE. I don't know what had to change to get it all working. Just glad that it is now. Still no WiFi calling but I don't expect to get that.

It's well documented that that doesn't work, doesn't change anything. I spent two years with the OP5 and 5t trying to get them to enable VOLTE, in about 12 different ways and it never worked. Either you were on WIFI or just really, really special.

I appreciate the feedback, just wish I could get it working on mine. As much as I hate the experience, I'm thinking it might just be worth going to the AT&T store just to get them to use my SIM in one of their devices just to get VoLTE working on the line (and/or verify it works on one of their with it already activated)

So, I can now confirm that VoLTE works on the 6T. Basically, the system requires HDVoice to get VoLTE working. The solution? I bought a $25 AT&T Prepaid junk phone and enabled HDVoice and WiFi calling on my SIM. After that, I switched the SIM back in to my 6T and it is now working.

I did, numerous times. They submitted my IMEI to enable the features, and I was told that everything was set up correctly. Upon their recommendation, I went as far as sending my brand new 6T back and buying another one. It didn't matter how many people I talked to, it didn't work until after I used the junk phone to first get it working on the line.

I can make VoLTE or vowifi calls with my sim on other device, but once I switch to 6T, none of features works.

When I first swapped it worked and then stopped. I had to put the SIM back in the AT&T phone and again enabled VoWiFi. I then pulled the battery, turned on the 6T, and inserted the SIM. It's been working on the 6T since.
Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone found out exactly what to do to get this working?
VoLTE was working perfectly on my 3T, albeit the only way to make the switches appear was with the VoEnabler module in Magisk.. but once they appeared, all I had to do was turn it on, and VoLTE was up and running. I tried the same thing on this phone after putting my SIM in, directly from the 3T; it worked for a few minutes, then the status bar icon disappeared and calls drop my connection to 3G, then go back to LTE once the call is over.. so clearly it has turned itself can off.
I then put my SIM card into my wife's At&t branded Galaxy s9, and after a few minutes VoLTE was working, using my SIM in her phone. I popped my SIM back into my phone, VoLTE was back working... Except, just as before, after a few minutes it stopped.
One thing I've noticed, while working correctly, under the IMS Service Status menu selection in the *#*#4636#*#* dialer menu -> Phone Information, it shows IMS Registration: Registered. Voice over LTE: available... But once it stops working, it says not registered, and unavailable respectively...
Since there are apparently people who seem to have it working, what am I not doing?
Could it be that the phone I put my SIM card into, is currently in use by someone else; someone else who also is provisioned for VoLTE? But what would be the reason it decided to stop working on my 6T and not my 3T? I used the same procedure to trigger VoLTE working on my 3T, and it never stopped working as it is doing on my 6T.
We work opposite shifts, and I used my few minutes we see each other a day to put my SIM in her phone then back into my 6T, I didn't put it in my 3T, which I will do next time I see her.. just to see if the 3T will hold onto VoLTE; that way I'll know for sure if it's something the 6T is doing differently than my 3T, or if I just got lucky before...
Any input or suggestions are welcome..
Edit:
Called AT&T customer service, put my SIM in the S9 and said I was unable to activate either WiFi calling or HD Voice, yet my wife's SIM in the same phone works.. they said that for some reason, my SIM was apparently attached to a non at&t Galaxy s9, she changed the IMEI associated with my SIM card and it's all good now.
With AT&T, If i enable VoLTE, i did not see the "HD" icon when making call. If i disable VoLTE, i see the the "HD" icon. Why is it backward?

Opposite for me... The HD icon only appears when I have VoLTE on, as shown.. perhaps something to do with using 2 SIM cards?
I got volte and vowifi enabled and only problem is that i cant see the volte icon on status bar.
Hi!!!

Turn off smart 5G, leave network on automatic, let it find it itself.
Pop outside with your phone, maybe try another location. Just to verify that it's actually getting the signal.
If it's not then it's possible your APN (access point name) is missing or doesn't contain lines that you may need for 5G.
Haven't had too much luck with 5G on either of the OS' but it still certainly works when I have a strong signal on 5G
Few weeks back i had Vivo X50 Pro Plus it was connected with no issues to 5G.
I can't see them when i search manually either, my Wife's phone has 5G (Samsung Device), tried switching sims, same issues on my phone while on her phone i can pick up 5G network...

Then it's the device.
When you jumped from 10 to 11 did you do a factory wipe? Or at the very least system, I've found the change of bases on the OnePlus can cause problems, weirdness, this could be a result of that.
Might be worth doing that if you've exhausted all other avenues.
Verify your APN is correct.
Try not to compare other devices, it isn't helping you.
The fact that your SIM works in another phone is all the info you need to verify its not the SIM.
The issue is the software on your OnePlus.
So that's all you need to tackle.
My money's on a bug caused by the update.

As I said earlier as you've changed OS essentially from 10 - 11 I would factory wipe, at the very least system via recovery.

Crap ok.
Hmmm.
Is the option actually visible on your phone for 5G within SIM?
Or just 4G?
What network are you with?
Also your other half is she using the same network? As I remember you saying hers is fine.
I also disable smart 5G it's either working or its not in my eyes.
Did you try to nuke the APN and add it manually?
All I do is add new APN then copy the settings from the SP's website and then choose that APN as my preferred choice.
Network mode is always automatic.
