Its activated by default and you can set it under the mobile network settings inside the options for your sim card.

Well should be. But thats the problem. It dont show to activate. I dunno if was before android update, maybe some bug with android 12? I have some performance issues on some apps, but wasnt expect problems witch network

*#*#4636#*#* using the google dialer

What version of OOS are you running? I seem to remember that when this phone came out it had the hardware capability, but the software wasn't finished. The 8 pro didn't have dual sim until late 10 or when 11 came out, I also think that was the time this phone got it's 5g capability too.

Use data on secondary sim during call

With Huawei, Xiaomi, iPhone dual sim, and many other dual-sim phones, there's an option to enable data on the sim card a phone call comes in on, even if this sim card is not the primary data sim.
This feature would be extremely useful to me on the Oneplus 6T, but I don't see an option anywhere.
I dug through the settings database and so on and didn't see anything which might correspond to that feature, either.
Anyone know if there's a setting buried in there somewhere to enable this? The setting I'm referring to is called "Use mobile data during VoLTE calls on the secondary SIM" on Xiaomi devices.
I'm also looking for this option...

Same here as well. I have this issue and would like to see a way to get this to function. Do not know if it is supposed to work or not or if a tweak exists. I just got Dual VoLTE working and noticed this issue after. Didn't know if my tweak caused it or not. I'd even be willing to use a custom rom if it provided the function.
Maybe next version of OxygenOS will have that option...

Xfinity Pixel 4

I was wondering if anyone had experience the xfinity pixel 4?
Is it Google android or do they have an xfinity specific rom?
Can an xfinity pixel be boot loader unlocked and rooted?
I currently have a Pixel 3 on GoogleFi and am considering switching to xfinity mobile. Any knowledge is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I just played with one in the store but couldn't even get it to open developer options. Idk if it'd because it's in demo mode or what but I did get some other phone there to do it but it wasn't the pixel.
I just got one from xfinity mobile. Its google android rom. no bloatware at all. not sure about rooting and the boot loader yet.

Nice. I'm looking forward to your input if you decide to unlock and root. Can you turn on OEM UNLOCKING under Settingseveloper Options?
I have read that people who have brought there own Pixel to xfinity by using a sim card from another phone have a problem receiving their visual voicemail. I wonder if the xfinity version has a different phone app than the Google version.
im honestly not going to unlock and root. Im happy with how it is. I can not turn on OEM UNLOCKING, i checked. no issues with VVM and the phone app is the google phone app. there is no xfinity apps preinstalled on the phone. its not like the samsung or LG phones. its all google.

Did you find out?
I'm in the process of moving my rooted pixel4xl over to xfinity mobile. The phone was an unlocked ebay purchase and previously on the atnt network, rooted and working fine.
Currently I have swapped SIMs and the phone is on the xfinity mobile (Verizon) network. Phone calls and "text only" text messages work. I'm having issues with data over the mobile network. Text messages work but without images and internet isn't working. MMS messages fail as well. Testing is being done with WiFi off of course.
Re-setting mobile\WiFi under system | reset options did not fix the problem. The mobile network settings (xfinity mobile) works on global or LTE, private DNS doesn't seem to work and the adaptive connectivity setting doesn't seem to matter on or off.
I'm pretty invested in getting this working with the phone being rooted. I'll post more progress here and any solutions I find.
Of course any suggestions are welcome.

Hello all, Sorry for the late reply. Issue was actually just fixed yesterday.
Issue was fixed by doing some RESETS on the phone itself (Reset app preferences and Erase downloaded SIMs) both were ran but I think the real fix was the later.
Phone was a BYOD ported into xfinity mobile (verizon) off the at&t network and it's rooted.
Everything is working as expected now.

OnePlus 8 Pro & 5G Support in Canada

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:
https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/
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.

Great, just so you know with that process if you remove your sim card you will have to redo it apparently.

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.

And OnePlus says it's your carrier and your carrier says it's OnePlus Lol. I hate being thrown back and forth between the two just because no one wants to take on the burden/responsibility to get these features working.

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?

It's an XML file, so the browser tries to process it and displays an error. If you right click on it and save it on your desktop, the file will get downloaded.
If you can't get it to work, I'll upload it as a text file.

Thanks for sharing! Will test it tonight and hopefully get 5G to work.
To your knowledge, will this get VoLTE also?
Bell is continuing to restrict 5g unless it is a phone they have sold

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.

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.
