With this new rollout for their tower upgrades for 5g. Basically killed all my sony phones that were patched for volte and ims. For the longest time volte would work my xz premium but as of now the old patches and old ways of getting volte on xz premium are gone. Dead. I currently have the oneplus n10 5g, and this thing is just a trash can. My xz premium is still king over this phone. If there is some miracle to make xzp work that I'm missing let me know. If not rip my sony phones
I've got a G8141 and was considering moving from AT&T to another carrier like Mint or T-Mobile just to see if I could get VoLTE on it somewhere, but this post isn't very inspiring xD. It's really sad since it's such a beautiful phone, I like the design more than the newer Sony phones.
I've tried so many variations on the posted methods for volte and vowifi...sadly, as you say, none of them work anymore. The device now identifies the SIM as a customization 400; I've altered the apk's to point it to 408 and got the modem file and overlays to install, but still no volte or vowifi. If anyone out there sees this and would like to try or has gotten it to work, please let me know. The device is listed as "fully compatible" on t-mobiles website, but as the xz2 is actually blocked and their website lists them as "not blocked by the network" I don't know how much stock I put in their web site....
@lonewolfbtown I had been wondering if there was anyone still trying to get Xperia phones working on TMobile with VoLTE ahead of the shutdown. I have been following some guidance from early 2020 with flashing the US firmware XZ3 OEM sin files with XZ2 firmware onto my Xperia XZ2 to no avail. VoLTE shows that it is provisioned in settings, but it continues to drop to 3g when making calls, and doesn't make a call altogether when setting the Network settings to "LTE only." The Modem config shows as "unknown" as well, which should read as some path/string referencing TMobile if things were actually working.
This is quite literally the only post/thread I have found that points to the workaround of flashing the sin files as no longer working on US T-Mobile. Frustrating to find this so late in the game but appreciate you passing it along.
Is this considered VoLTE? Mine doesn't drop of 3G/H+ when placing a call. Wifi calling also works as normal.

Hey guys,
I have been looking several days for an option to toggle 3g <-> 2g but it simply isn't there where it supposed to be.
After discovering this article I'm wondering why this feature is missing in all wp7 samsung devices.
I really miss this option because I get at home barely 1 bar on 3g and thats not very good for the battery.
I thought that OEMs aren't allowed to customize the os on this level but why is this option not visible ?
Regards
I always thought that this option has been disabled by my provider because "3" doesn't have 2G at all. All GSM data is transferred via Roaming with A1 mobilkom.
Don't know, I've realised that my Omnia7 doesn't have this option but I don't miss it though.
worth a ponder

My boyfriend's Trophy has the 3g toggle located in settings. He's using vodafone. My omnia however is missing the feature. HTC vs samsung or carrier difference?
According to Orange it is missing on all Omnia 7s as it's missing from the Samsung software.
Thanks for your answers but nevertheless I'd like to hear why samsung did exclude this feature on their wp7 phones because I couldn't barely find any information about it on the internet.
It's incomprehensible and there we see that samsung failed once again with "their" software. Toggle 2g is an option that I really won't miss specially in areas where I have bad signal. I'm going to contact samsung to see what they say about it.
Regards

Would be interesting to know, but don't get your hopes high...I cannot remember any time Samsung answered a support question for me
My Omnia 7 has this setting. I have a 16 GB device from T-Mobile Germany running on o2.
My Omnia 7 also has this setting (Optus stock [unlocked] 8GB version).
Settings > Mobile Network
What I LOVE about these settings is that whenever my phone tries to access the internet and 3GB/Data is turned OFF, it won't force it on. Infact, unless you have Wi-Fi turned on, it will just say it's unable to access a data connection.
More than I can say for Windows Mobile, which always turned it on no matter what you told it to do.

So it's not Samsung's idea but, more likely, our provider's idea to cut this setting.
Make sure you have HD Voice provisioned on your account https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/accountholder/services/displayProductsServices.action click on Manage Your Products, add HD Voice, should provision in ~15min
If you're not seeing Enhanced LTE, dial *#*#4636#*#*, phone information, scroll to turn on VoLTE flag, restart device or put into Airplane Mode
Now go to Settings ---> More ---> Cellular Networks and Enhanced LTE should now be enabled

Not working for me.....button in *#*#4636#*#* never changes to anything and I never have option in more settings
I think the key to getting this to work is to be on a 5.1 ROM.... I tried with 5.01 and the new baseband, but I think the settings are in the ROM.
Correct, you need to be on 5.1 for VoLTE
dissapears
i can get it on my phone but as soon as i go to use it i lose lte and then my advance option disappears. could it be possible my sim card doesn't support volte? I had to use a sim from an iphone 5 to get service. I think that sim is different from one that's in a M8 or moto x. Any input would be appreciated.
Edit- got it working by going on Verizon and removing hd voice and the adding it back. SIM card is fine..
Thanks Worked Like a charm. Finally the one major thing I wanted on the N6
Worked for me, but took about 5 - 10 minutes to provision. Thanks!
Worked for me, purchased directly from moto

Appears to be working for me too.
Now to update the wife's phone and get it going there.
Not sure if anyone else got this, but I went through the phone setup process without my SIM and then inserted the SIM and restarted. Verizon still installed bloatware (go90, my verizon, and one or two others I cannot remember). They were all able to be uninstalled. I know there was a rumor floating around in the Droid-Life comments about inserting the SIM after setup may get around this. It did not (at least for me).
I just used the phone as it came with the SIM installed from the beginning. It did have My Verizon on it and go90, but I am pretty sure I had loaded those on my previous phone (pixel) myself, not as part of the apps that came with the phone. So they transfered from my other phone when the rest of the apps did.
I use the My Verizon so it is still there, but the go90, I just uninstalled it.

After uninstall it was gone.
There might be a few other things, but I have not noticed.
I didn't get any Verizon bloat installed at all on my phone. But I did wait until after setup to put in my SIM, mostly because I was experimenting and updated to the 8.1 DP before even inserting a SIM to see if it would allow for bootloader unlocking of the Verizon variant, but to no avail. Small bonus was that I avoided having to uninstall any Verizon bloat and saved 5 minutes of my time hahaha.

Same here. All activation and setup over WiFi and waited a good 90 minutes before I actually activated with my VZW sim. No Verizon bloat, which was a very pleasant surprise. Was hoping for the same with the bootloader. I Miss my Viper4Android!
Anyone have RCS on Android Messages on their unlocked OP6T? I have yet to see it on mine. I have Straight Talk through ATT. My parents have Moto G5 plus on the same service and they both have RCS for Android Messages. It's still telling me it's unavailable for my device.

I've been wondering this myself. It's one of the things I miss about having an iPhone... Except text over WiFi won't work between google and apple unfortunately

Funny thing is the day that I posted this, I ended up getting a bug fix update and now I have the RCS chat features. My friend didn't have them though the other day, so I don't know if it's a slow roll or something. I still have yet to get gmail dark mode.

Did you receive an update to the phone? Or an update to the app?
I'm on T-Mobile, but converted the phone to international. I don't have it on mine either.
It's working fine on my phone. Carrier is Deutsche Telekom in Germany. Though I've got nobody to chat with via RCS. [emoji23] I'm wondeing if this is going to change anytime soon.
It says "State: Connected" on the screenshot.

This leaves one more update (it launched with June 2018 patch iirc)?
I got scared when I installed the update and calls had no audio (earpiece nor speaker). A reboot fixed that issue.

Thanks for telling.
Can you tell any changes in firmware or baseband?

Yeah, same old story from them
I don't even have anymore expectations about the updates. The phone is already dead and Android One was basically a scam with no benefits over customized Android distributions.
Fortunatelly next month I will be getting a new phone.
There are network related issues with this update.
As soon as my phone switch to 4G+ (automatically) from 4G then Wi-Fi gets disconnected!! And phone won't try to connect with Wi-Fi. Then if i try to connect with saved Wi-Fi network manually, it won't connect!! If phone switch to 4G (automatically) from 4G+ then phone will connect with WiFi and internet data works as normal. I think 4G+ and WiFi dont work same time. Only one thing can work at a time. Still I'm not able to figure out this issue.
Another issue is, getting no call notification on screen. So one friend told me that he has tried to call me but I wasn't answering, and I was like I haven't received any calls as nothing in call logs too!! Upon this information, I've tried to call my number from another phone and he was right. No call notification appears on the screen, not even missed call log in Phone app. I've figured out solution to this problem tho. Disable WiFi Calling is the current solution. In Google's Phone app go into settings > calling account > select your network name and disable WiFi Calling for that network.
Before installing this update 4G+, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Calling everything was working smoothly. I'm afraid if they won't fix these issues then it will be a parmanent problem as not sure how many security updates left as part of Android One.
