Hi there,
I recently purchased an Honor 10 from Argos and am using it on the three network. It seems like you can only use features like 4G Super Voice (VoLTE) if you bought the phone directly from three. I am presuming that to mean that three has a custom version of the stock firmware for the device but they do not provide a way of downloading this from their site. Does anyone have this firmware or the ability to dump it from their phone and share?
Thanks,
James.
No custom firmware it's the same. Will work fine when you put your sim in it

I already have put the sim in, there is no option to enable VoLTE/4G super voice I can see, three support suggested I should have some software from them that was OTA, are you saying you have an Honor 10 on three and it gives you the option to enable it?
There isn't an option. It just works when you are in a volte area.
And when you connect to WiFi you should get WiFi calling in the notifications area.
What firmware B131?

I just checked on the three website, I didn't notice this last time:
Devices that didn't come from Three.
Right now, all 4G Super-Voice compatible iPhones will be 4G Super-Voice enabled once the carrier settings have been installed, even if they didn't come from Three.
4G Super-Voice doesn't work on other non-Three devices yet however, even if the manufacturer has stated that it's VoLTE compatible. We're working on this, so be sure to check back for updates.

So they must have some kind of custom firmware or something I presume.
I have wifi calling enabled on my device but again the three website says my device is not supported and it won't work and that seems to be true because even with wifi enabled and wifi calling enabled in the setting I do not get the wifi calling in the notification area.
That's hasnt been updated. All Huawei P20 series and honor 10 series have the same software across the market. It will. Work for volte

I am afraid what you are telling me goes against what three themselves are directly telling me. A three support guy just called me after a web chat and said that at the moment they have NOT released the update for Honor 10 to enable VoLTE. He said when it is released I will get a text message from three about the update and that it will then be enabled on my phone. I am afraid what you are saying is not what Three are saying.
Dude I work for Three. I range the phones they sell. I setup the Honor partnership. I can tell you flat out the software is one software across the market. It customises based on the sim.
What software version are you in b104 B120 or B131

This might explain my issue about the updates....
My handset was purchased from three as PAYG. It's still stuck on 120 firmware.
If all handsets are the same why have we not seen the 131 update
B131 is not out in the UK yet. Its leaked in firmware finder but it hasn't had CTS approval yet which means no Google pay etc
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
Apologies, I guess I misunderstood what the support guy was saying, thanks for the clarification! I am on B120 according to the phone. The three site doesn't help, it's confusing they say that it won't work on devices not purchased from three. If there is no software difference does that mean that wifi calling should work for me too? It doesn't seem to be unless emui hides the usual icons you would expect to see?
It's only a new thing that Huawei and honor have done which is put the settings into the baseline software regardless of where you buy it in uk

Could potentially be hiding icon due to the space limitations at top because of notch

As far i know if 3 mobile did not support volte your menu for volte wouldnt exist. Or you wouldnt had choice to activate it. At least this is how it was on p9. I have a honor 10 c432 unbranded device and my options are open for volte. If that helps. Maybe switching to different region firnware it will give you the option.
Ps for me is not appearing on the notch when is active but when i disable notch its showing an icon

Well i dont know as long i was in vodafone uk i didnt had volte. Once i switched to c432 on my p9 then i had the choice. Seems like they are stripping down services for some reason. Also updates was non existed

if the sim is capable of doing VOLTE calls, it appears in menu otherwise it won't appear in the mobile&networks.

So now you are saying it's down to the device and not the sim card? Instead of just saying stuff how about you research it first - nobody is coming here to listen to half baked guess work ? I have no idea what honor said about volte, but it's becoming such a common feature that an omission would be rather strange.

i have seen the honor 8 pro is supported VOLTE calling , i thougt it is also supporting VOLTE calling because both the devices released in same period,thats y i asked him first "does the sim is LTE cqlling capable" later it is not solved ,so i asked him to see that they mentioned the Volte feature on the box OR not, just lateral thinking .

Same problem no Volte option .. how can I find out ..
How can I get volte in honor 9 purchased from China?
I believe your carrier needs to add the support for your phone in their network as well.

A reply came from honor support saying honor 9 supports volte(not in menu though) and will work automatically when used with volte sim.. It will also depend on the availability of carrier service.
You can also check in phone info..

I think this build version has some problem with volte ...that is why it doesnt work.....my sim operator says the phone doesn't come with volte....even after 2 years....i don't know what the problem is...but there is the thing of the phone not being released in my country i.e India. So that might be the problem
Build C432
Both of them do not work on t-mobile even though they have all the bands. Signal is strong. Is there some command that will let me check radio status ?Mate 10 has similar bands to Mate 9 and my mate 9 works fine even if I disable volte. Mate 10 sometimes will fail to make a phone call or if it is being called it will go straight to voicemail. When I get connected I can't hear anything on my Mate 9, but I can on op3t.
Is anyone successfully using it on tmo usa ? This makes no sense to me.
I did factory resets, different sims and had t-mobile refresh the lines

I've been using the ALP-L29 on TMo for a month now and no issues with voice or data. Just took the sim out of my Nexus 6 and put it into the mate 10. Didn't do anything else.
Maybe check the apn? As far as bands, you can download Network Cell Info Lite to see what bands the phone is connecting to.
I have had my Mate 10 (non-pro) for about a week now and I use it on T-Mobile just fine. Why not install a 3rd party app like Open Signal from the Play Store and see what is going on? Also an app like GPS Status is good for GPS functionality. The fact that you have two of them, and both do not work, makes me suspicious that something else is going on with them both...maybe they are not flashed properly with the correct regional software?

They both were brand new and sealed from 2 different sellers, they are different colors as well. I will check open signal app and see what it says. What I don't understand how 2 of them can have exactly same symptoms.

Those were from 2 different sellers. Hard to believe that they would have exact symptoms.
They are unlocked. I checked open signal and it says lte. Anyone can recommend any troubleshooting that could be done? I would like to keep the phone but I need it to work. I do not think both phones are just not working in exact same way. At this point I am not sure what else is left to trouble shoot.
In attached pictures what is the sim neighbor #1 that is the only thing different because it is not on my mate 9.
More neighbors , but there isn't any on Mate 9. Also everytime phone call is coming in it switches to 2g. Mate 9 doesn't switch for phone calls. Overall the network cell info app shows that mate 10 switches bands a lot .
Edit
Another thing I noticed is that tmo visual voicemail will never activate on Mate 10 but it is instant on Mate 9
Spent hours with tmobile and this is because no volte on those phones. If I turn volte off on mate 9 it acts the same way. So mate 10 is unusable where I live. It goes to voicemail 90% of time.
The workaround I got is forward all calls to to my google voice number. Works ok since it can use lte just fine.

To the same rom. Now, are they ORIGINALLY manufactured with that same rom? I purchased a 4/64 mocha from amazon ALP-L29 and was functioning flawlessly. Then returned it and purchased a 6/128 chinese version, rebranded to ALP-L29 and its functioning flawlessly (with T-MOBILE) so, the only thing I can think, based on your circumstances, is that there has to be something messed up with the rom/firmware. I would try either an update via FIRMWARE FINDER or a full rebranding to the same ALP-L29. Thats what I would do.

There is nothing wrong with it. It's the lack of volte. If I turn off volte on my mate 9 it acts the same way. I talked with t-force (tmo support) and because of the towers around me the phone doesn't switch quick enough to edge to ring. If I leave it on edge it works fine, but it can't switch to edge from lte quickly enough.
Ok, sorry about this bit of a noob (and the MIUI forums are a bit sarcy) you guys are usually helpful..ok, i bought a redmi 5 + from ebay, it came as the chinese model i.e MEE7 (not MET7 or MEG7) now when i boot up it says 'unlocked' under the Mi logo and there's a unlocked padlock symbol, the MIUI version is Global 9.5 Stable 9.5.11.0 (NEGMIFA) which i received as an OTA (so i assume i can get OTAs for this phone even though it's Chinese?)...now i've been told that i can't get band 20 (via MIUI forums and said i was ripped off) after checking on LTE discovery i'm on band 7 (i'm in the UK and with EE and i seem to get 4G+) is band 20 that important? how can i check what bands this phone has got? is band 20 faster? on net velocity i get 35.25mps download and 19.72mps upload., is this ok?..also will i be hampered in anyway with regards to future updates, including Oreo and MIUI 10...any help would be great guys, and cheers for helping a noob.
See.:good:
Band 20 is an issue in some countries where it is used more, and not in others. Don't know about the UK, but it is being rolled out more and more across Europe.
It's important because it's a low frequency band for good coverage both outdoors over a long range and deep indoors. This is the band that also gives you the good converge inside of the buildings.
Higher frequency bands have more capacity. Lower frequency bands have better coverage.
You shouldn't be missing anything else. Your phone should update fine with the global rom.

Ok cool, so i'm not crippled by the fact it's a chinese model then (as it updates fine via OTA) by the way how can i check what bands are on this phone?? the apps i've tried just tell the band being currently used (in my case 7) but nothing tells you what is available (on Mediatek you can use engineering mode) does a mode exist for QC snapdragon?
But : are you sure your are getting 4g+ and not only 4g?
Because many xiaomi phones including the 5 plus don't have interband carrier aggregation on bands 3+7 (only intraband which is used in China).
There is however a patch on the miui forum to enable it. But some users have reported that the resulting speeds are slower than 4g. Others haven't said anything.

Yes, search Google for the ### code tu access the engineering info. You can see the bands there.

There are at least three versions of this same model (not variant);
First, the chinese version that was the first available in stores like Aliexpress, Gearbest and others (I bought this), it has firmware only in chinese and english and then to solve this some sellers flashed international rom to devices that were dispatched for other places in the world out of China and some devices came unlocked out of the box.
A second version precharged with international firmware (by the manufacturer) with more languages for the great demmand in the world.
These two previous versions came with the bands 4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8 and there´s no way to enable more bands cause is a limitation hardware related.
A third version Global that came with the bands 4G:FDD LTE B1: 2100/B3: 1800/B4: 1700/B5: 850/B7: 2600/B8: 900/B20: 800MHz for a difference about 25Usd at starting in february; in red marked the added bands.

Mine is MEE7 version, there is no substantial differences, most likely is a method to mark the batches simply.
This version is the first chinese anyway the second has the same bands enabled, only the differences are the firmware pre-installed. Other simply way to check this is that this version came into a box very red with all chinese letters and the second comes in a red-orange-ish. Yes, sellers unlock bootloader in this first version to can flash international firmware more easily and without risks to brick device.
If your carrier works in the band 7 for 4G and also 4G+ then it has to work normally, Many countries don't work with the band 20, any of the bands allows implement the most advanced features so them depends on the carrier it mean that an operator can improve the reachability in a band but improve the strength signal in other; first option is most used in cities with less population to reach great distances and a second is used to improve the quality when demand it's highly required.
No worry about OTAs, updates, miui 10, this version is absolutely functional and working great.

Hi
If you can get hold of an O2 SIM try and see if it will work in your phone, if it does you have Band 20 (800), as O2 only use Band 20 in UK.

No, I´m very prideful for this device, it´s not a fake at all, the great difference is only the two bands enabled in the global (really) version but I didn´t need this.
There is something that I noted like a difference within miui roms and any aosp based rom, the signal in aosp roms is slightly better than in miui roms. A simple way to see the strength is going to Settings/about phone/status/sim status you will see a range normally between (in my experience);
- In aosp based roms it´s -83 to -91
- In miui or miui based roms it´s -91 to -97
When the level is more (in a negative scale) it´s mean better signal. That´s about cellullar signal not specifically the uploading/downloading of data, for this there should be an application in Play Store also some custom tweaked roms can improve this.

Ok so i'm getting 83dBm 57 asu? don't you mean when the level is 'less' in a negative scale i.e the lower the better?
Yes, i'm pleased by the phone, just a bit worried about future updates, to be honest (with regards to it being a foreign ROM on a Chinese phone) i don't use my data much (only when travelling abroad or journeys within the UK) otherwise i leech from wifi...looking forward to MIUI 10 (and fingers crossed an Oreo update in its wake)

Yes, i'm pleased by the phone, just a bit worried about future updates, to be honest (with regards to it being a foreign ROM on a Chinese phone) i don't use my data much (only when travelling abroad or journeys within the UK) otherwise i leech from wifi...looking forward to MIUI 10 (and fingers crossed an Oreo update in its wake)

No, definitely you don´t have nothing to worry about, remember that really all R5+ are chinese, I just referred to a chinese version to indicate how it´s recogniced the first version but Xiaomi considers all these versions like upgradable.
You have an excellent signal strength, you forgot the symbol (-) and it´s correct the stated before, in a positive scale a superior number is more and in a negative scale an inferior number is in the same way by the logic of the opposites; more.
Is there anyway to get VoLTE in the US for LYA-L29?

Get your carrier to enable volte on your service. Restart your phone and it should work

Do I have to take it to the store for them to do it, or can I just call customer service?
The other response is incorrect. Huawei has a whitelist of carrier MCC/MNC for VoLTE support. US carriers are not on it for LYA-L29.
VoLTE working fine in the middle east for the LYA-L29 for those who are wondering.
I don't know about North America though.

Volte works fine on the P20 Pro. Since that phone was never sold or supported in the USA there is no reason US carriers would be on a whitelist.
Volte also works fine on the Xiaomi MI Mix 2 & 2S which aren't sold or supported here.
Same problem in Canada too...the carrier has to work with Huawei to turn the feature on. I upgraded from an S7Edge which WAS VoLTE enabled by the carrier, so the account has the feature, but it did not automatically carry over.
Looks like there will be a few months before we get this, seeing how long it took for P20 Pro.
Anyone on UK EE with VoLTE available?

I'm using MintMobile with the Mate 20 Pro. I found out that this carrier does not provide VoLTE service.

Hola
Can you please elaborate. For some of our carriers in Canada VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling are only enabled with carrier branded phones. This is particularly true for Rogers and Fido. If you are dealing with Shaw, Telus and Bell I have seen different scenarios that certain non branded phones working ok for VoLTE and other phones not working at all.
I am with Fido and I bought the Mate 20 Pro from them and VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling work.

I'm with Videotron...hence the difference. They have been notoriously slow to enable the feature on new phones.
On the flip side, I was getting VoLTE on my old phone which was NOT bought from them (it was first registered on Koodo).
Rogers does not allow that -as you mentioned.

A follow-up on my own post:
- we all knew the Canadian version L0C is NOT dual-SIM - I finally got a chance to test this. Bummer.
- I put in my phone a Rogers SIM and VoLTE and VoWiFi WERE INSTANTLY ENABLED. So the software supports it, has to be enabled by the provider via the SIM cfg. Somewhat positive news - as we all thought, Rogers would only allow VoLTE on the phones they sell, the test proved this is not the case.

I can definitely tell that the call quality is a LOT better in my case with VoLTE on, as it uses HD codecs (G.722).
You can try for yourself by turning VoLTE ON and then play with WCDMA vs LTE settings...one will disable it right away. In my case even the call button in the dialer shows HD.
And yes, the damn icon is hideous and won't go away even with System Tuner.

MintMobile does provide Volte but they have no idea which phone models it works on so they don't advertise Volte. I had Volte functionality on MintMobile with One Plus 5, Essential PH-1, Xiaomi Mix 2 & Mix 2S, and Huawei P20 Pro.
But it does not work with this phone.
On Telus, the first time I set the phone up it made me jump through a hoop where I went to a Telus site and enabled the VOxxx stuff. Strangely, it seemed to be kinda random whether it was 'on' or not, and before the last 2 updates I don't think you could even trust the icon to be telling you the truth. I'm not sure why this feature is a big deal, codecs or not the voice quality seems fine on this phone regardless. Some people claim that enabling any of the VO stuff gobbles battery, I haven't really noticed.
Much like the AOD, it is sad that we have almost no control over the icons at the top - especially when space is at such a premium there.
Hi to all,
Well I bought the new pix6 just to find out that the connectivity to 5G network's is limited to supported counters end not to other countries beside the selected few.
Is there a way to enable 5G while keeping the phone unrooted? Coming from a M11i that in my area has 600-700Mbit/s coverage to the supposed king of Android that has barley 80Mbit/s is just disappointing. I'm in Croatia and the 5G here is in every activated in every single plan.
Thanks in advance.
Regards Goran
Ask your carrier to support the Pixel 6.
There is no way to enable it even with root unfortunately. Google locked it and they will not unlock it.

Do you have a link to support your statement?
Look at this:
5G on your Pixel
Check your 5G availability
pixel.withgoogle.com
If you choose other as country you see this:
At this time, unlisted countries have no selected 5G carrier networks that work with Pixel phones.
There also quite a lot of topics in the pixel community like this one discussing the problem:

Thanks for your reply.
But I do not see anything about Google being at fault.
I am just assuming that it is the government and carriers fault of said countries.
Well if the 5G phones of every other big android manufacturer like samsung, xiaomi, oneplus, motorola and so on are working great almost everywhere and pixels only work in select countries for me it is pretty clear who is to blame. In addition to that the modem inside is the same samsung modem used in the samsung s20 series and it clearly supports needed bands to work in much more than 13 countries in whole world. There are enough operators in europe present in several countries and using same equipment and bands in these like A1, T-mobile, Vodafone, Orange and so on. If it is operator's fault what is the logic phone to work from one side of the border and not from the other? To sum it up - if anything works in 100 countries and do not work in 10 you should check these 10 countries. If anything works in 10 countries and does not work in 100 it is device problem. I have not seen a single report from person in unsupported country who managed to activate 5G.
To add some history - older google 5G phones behave the same way. They are locked to support 5G in only certain countries. In these models though this is done via simple configuration files which can be edited if you have root. After that 5G works flawlessly in every country. Unfortunately for pixel 6 this does not work.
Finally , One Module-unlock 5G-Volte-VoWIFI
Hello,, After a long term of tries and workarounds. Finally found some module by ender-zhao :love::love::love::love::love::love: Thanks for him so much. Simply one module to enable 5G and Volte ,vowifi... install it from magisk , restart and...

Danm Google not even Apple did **** like that...
take a look on Pixel5GBounty Telegram group, we're collecting money for anyone who would unlock 5G wherever the modem supports it. $290 for now
why is it that not even custom ROMs can't get the 5G working on "non-supported" carriers? Is it somewhere in the kernel? or what am I missing here? I'm android noob, so sorry if this is obvious... Thank you
I asked my provider about this 5g, and they told me that it's not the phone, but the provider that blocks the 5g connection.
My provider is fastweb, they also use windtre network in some areas. I have a 5g included plan, but I cannot have 5g connection.
They told me that there is a list of compatible devices, and this list is different from provider to provider. Simply, Fastweb has no intention to enable 5g on google pixel devices.
TIM is giving 5g to whatever device, but just for a short period of time (to sponsor their 5g network, I suppose).
Vodafone list of compatible devices is different from fastweb.
Iliad, also has a different list of compatible devices (Iliad gives 5g to pixel5)
So, no reason to blame on google...
well, I'm from Czech Republic, and I have Vodafone... Went to ask them about this issue, they told me they don't block 5G on any device, so if I have new enough SIM (I have e-SIM, so don't have to worry about that), the 5G should work, if the device supports it. Now since Pixel isn't officially available in Czech Republic, it's not working...
Getting 5G working on my Pixel would be good enough reason for me to start rooting and checking other ROMs again (last Android I rooted was I think KitKat ).

Same issue with T-mobile CZ. Said me that this is the problem of google, VoLTE working, nothing else. Have to say this is my last google phone.
It's very obvious google is whitelisting the carriers that they allow 5G access.
Pixel 6's 5G is unavailable on my carrier but it works with Google Fi sim roaming.
VoLTE is also disabled here. But I managed to just turn the switch on with root and it just works (with some extra battery drain)
And No. There's no way to unlock 5G on blocked carriers yet. Might be available in future if the bounty succeeds.
I contacted Google Support about one of the 5H networks in Ireland not being supported & they said they only support the networks listed here - https://pixel.withgoogle.com/5G/
Nothing that the network provider can fix. The support person told me to send feedback from the phone requesting support for the missing network which I do every week although I suspect I'm wasting my time.
There's also a very long thread on the Google support forum here.
Well, I've rooted mine and I'm squeezing the **** out of him right now, little rusty since I've done nothing for few years now ...but did find some articles about restricting and un restricting 5G inside Android 12 (https://developer.android.com/refer...rierConfigManager#CARRIER_NR_AVAILABILITY_NSA.) and related sub articles.
Worst case scenario it will finish in the garage, as for now garage it is.

Google does not care if you buy from them. The Pixel 6 is not sold in your country anyway.
It is your government and carrier that is at fault. Your rules and laws are stopping Google from selling in your region.

Here in the US, the FCC dictates if an electronic product can be sold.
Google is in the business to make money, they are not selling you there product for spite is Ludacris to think so.
