Hi all,
I checked on my pixel 3 (beta 2) and I can active sim 2 (e-sim). But I'm not sure that anyone can use 2 sims in actual. (1 sim for calling and 1 sim for data connection it will be nice)
As I knew it will depend on carrier and country (ex : in VN e-sim only support for Iphone). So anyone's using DSDS please give us feed back about this ?

I done it in my pixel 3 in India.
My findings
1, I am getting call and data in both the sim (not a same time)
2, both sim can support LTE connection at the same time
3, we can change call , data and sms between sim

I was fight with Jio for one month , but no luck.
But Airtel , you can get very easily..if you already having Airtel Sim , just follow as mentioned below link.
Or if you're going but Airtel, don't tell anything about eSIM to showroom staff, just buy a physical sim and active the Sim. Once activated physical sim, follow the same instructions in the URL

It's nice when know that you can do it.
So that mean at the carrier shop they also didn't know the E-sim support for Pixel3 and you did it by yourself ?
And one more question that you add e-sim by scan QR code ? (same way with iphone)

Because in Vietnam don't have google store yet so i'm afraid we cannot add the E-sim

Thanks for your information.

If your OEM switch for bootloader unlock is not grayed out you can use the embedded sim or eSim. If it's grayed out then you can't. Naturally, it depends on your carrier if they support it or not. Even with a Google version Verizon does not support eSim activation for some unknown reason. But Sprint and Google Fi will work I believe. Ask your carrier if they support eSim activation. If they don't know what you're talking about then they probably don't. Also remember that you can only have one network active at a time. Until Android Q comes out with true DSDS (not the beta yet, it's too risky) you will have to choose which is active.
I'm not sure what the IMEIs of devices in Vietnam and India are but here in the US if they begin with a 99 then you can use the eSim. If they start with a 35 you cannot.

They need to update your imei number on your account to your new device, and also change to the lte data plan. I've been trying since earlier and theyre systems are down for this as they are updating. I've been stuck on wifi all day. You can try , dial 611.

They asked me what kind of SIM I had and I told them I had a 3G SIM so he told me he would have to give me a new SIM for the LTE and he did. The SIM is orage with a globe on it, and the top half is white with a long number on it.
He did call and I physically heard him give her my phones IMEI number however something could have gotten ****ed up because they made me buy a 2nd SIM for my other line because I was "cross upgrading" by upgrading MY phone by using an upgrade that was on another line. However, he sounded like he knew his stuff and since I heard him give her the IMEI number I cant imagine how things got twisted up.
And yes it would be nice to be able to login to ATT or call tech support to check but there isnt a damn thing I can do when the website is down and its after tech support hours.

You may be right, but what i dont understand is the dude asked me if it was a 3G SIM and when I said it was he busted out a brand new one for me. My old one has 3G right on the front, the new one does not resemble it.
Also when I did a google image search I found a lot of LTE SIM cards that look exactly like the one I have. However I did see a couple that were all a solid orange like the one you described but there was info to suggest my card was the incorrect one.

Not necessarily.. phone such as the D801 for Wind Mobile in Canada, has LTE disabled by the carrier and needs to be enabled manually. This is mainly because Wind does not have a LTE network and so if you have a non Wind LTE SIM you will need to unlock the LTE option in order to use the LTE network or be stuck with 4G speeds.

you dont want to permanent enable LTE because then voice would not work maybe sending SMS would be a problem too, this is the case for T-mobile and I imagine the same for ATT, verizon and sprint uses CDMA technology so it may be different, but if you insist on doing it, follow op guide and check LTE only...
Indian Model also has LTE disabled, but this should enable it. Only problemwe do nt have LTE in the country anyway
I guess it will help me when i am travelling to Europe next.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone guide how to enable 4G VoLTE support on Honor 5x ?
I am using Indian version KIW-L22
Currently in India, Reliance Jio is the only operator with 4G VoLTE support. Though not commercially launched yet, but Reliance Jio services are available to it's employees.
As I can see Snapdragon 615 already supports HD Voice over 3G and VoLTE
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/615
I found somewhere that using the code *#*#4636#*#* on dialer app will bring up a menu to enable VoLTE provisioned flag. However that doesn't work on Honor 5x.
I am sure since we have the hardware support for VoLTE, getting this thing enabled over the software should not be impossible.
Anyone any ideas please help!
Spoke to Honor India chat support today...
They blatantly said VoLTE support won't be available on this handset.
Strange, hardware supports but they won't give a small software path or update to enable this.
Looks like only hope is this community, and may be some custom ROM.

Not prudent of Huawei India to give such a response, when competition (aka. Redmi Note 3) has this out of the box! currently waiting for the device to get a decent AOSP ROM, would purchase one then

There are even many sub 10K (INR) phones which offers VoLTE support.
Was really hoping that Honor India would provide some support, as it is a matter of simple software patch / update.
But alas
BTW just to confirm, I am able to use the 4G data using Reliance Jio SIM, but not the voice call, which needs VoLTE support.
I am using Reliance Jio 4G SIM...
Just today got hold of Jio Join app, which allows me to make call from my Honor 5x.
Note: On Reliance Jio only supports 4g VoLTE handsets. However, they have come up with an app called Jio Join which allows users with non VoLTE 4G handsets can still make calls. It uses 4G data to route the call to Jio network. Call quality is nice.
Still being hopeful if Honor gives native support for VoLTE on the handset with some software patch.
There maybe some technical issues with placing a call on a 4G VoLTE network as it needs better codecs which probably need more power so this feature is mostly reserved to high range phones and only with some phone operators.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure about the codecs but it's definitely not that VoLTE is restricted only to high end phones. In India we have VoLTE enabled android phones starting from as low as $75.
In France, only one operator allows Voice over LTE and only for a few phone such as latest Samsung S6 and probably S7 now and Apple iPhone 6 et 6+
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's true.. There are very few operators around the globe which have VoLTE feature, because it is relatively new technology which comes with 4G. Without VoLTE when you make a call over 4G network you voice call actually gets over 3G or 2G network (but remember you operator should also have a 3G or 2G network for that).
So even though some one could supply a custom ROM with this feature integrated that doesn't mean you could use it if the phone operator doesn't allow you to use it on his network. I guess 4G VoLTE is mostly experimental for now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4G VoLTE feature though less available but is not an experimental feature. It's very much supported both by Android and common SoCs like Snapdragon 615. It's true that for True HD call experience 3 entities needs to be VoLTE enabled i) The caller ii) The Network iii) The receiver. In my case all 3 are possible since the network is VoLTE enabled.
Myself I'm not sure how 4G VoLTE could be relevant as it uses a large part of you data plan which cost you more than a GSM call...
In France we mostly have unlimited GSM calls for the same price when data plan are mostly limited in Megabyte or Gigabyte...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The network I am on (Reliance Jio) is a only 4G Network which means only way to make a call is over VoLTE, as explained before. It's a IP Based Packet switched network and not a Circuit Switched network like traditional 2G / 3G.
About technical limitations, we have the same problem when we use our 4G/LTE phone's modem. If you place a phone call when sharing data, the phone's modem switches to 3G and back to 4G/LTE when the call ends...
Click to expand...

This is not a technical limitation, it's simply because your operator has chosen not to implement VoLTE, which means you can use 4G network only for the data, for voice calls you are actually using the operator's existing 3G / 2G network. Thus this 3G/4G switching happens for you.
That just mean you were allowed to experiment this feature on Reliance Jio network and you don't need specific patches...

Not sure I should rightly call it patch or not.. But yes a software update it is. The SoC of Honor 5x supports VoLTE, Android Lollipop supports VoLTE, I don't see a reason why Huawei should not allow it.
At present time, you should probably be a very few users to use 4G VoLTE and imagine millions or billions of users placing calls on 4G VoLTE at the same time...

Yes lucky to be an early tester of a technology that's gonna drive the future... IP Based network it is
So finally Jio is here, but do we have any option to enable VoLTE on Honor 5x
May be by using any custom rom or whatsoever?

Thanks a ton.. Truly I have been longing for this update for months now. I had opened this thread months back just in hope that someday either xda developers community or Huawei will give us a solution.
Submitted the request, hope to get the update soon. :laugh:

call this number-1800 212 3852(jio)
Anyone of please upload the downloaded zip to cm thread for bademon . He maybe could add support with the help of that file by analysing whats inside that file
I just updated.
Video is not supported..there is no option to activate it. If someone is calling from jio to ur no., at that type if they are sending video request, call hangs for long time after disconnection also...it is a Very serious bug. Restart is only way option to remove hanged call. Only call hangs..means u cannot call anyone.
this is a real thing weird carrier and Samsung start to play with consumer too much just like Apple (or Nokia years ago)
this insane i bought from Samsung direct s9+ and all working band 71 wi-fi calling but now t-mobile push you to use wi-fi calling when connected wi-fi I tried turn it off here we go no way,
settings connections wi-fi calling menu is removed
WTF t-mobile or Samsung I been searched for 1h no way,
we need a Linux for phones also i guess get sick of searching to get out of some ****s,
Dear t-mobile guys if you reading wi-fi call might save you some ports but it is hell bad voice quality and you guys are deciding what to do or how to use the phone I paid for
Go to settings: connections: more connection settings: wi-fi calling.
There you can choose your settings.

I have the USA unlocked U1 variant. No I didn't have to flash T-Mobile firmware in order for it to work. T-Mobile isn't like other carriers, wifi calling works out of the box as long as software supports it, they don't block it from non-branded phones. Even my OnePlus phones wifi calling works on T-Mobile.

thank you!
another question. this will be out of topic. but have you tried recording video with loud band or loud music? If you did. How is the recording sound Quality? one of the Reasons that I wanted to replace my Note 8 is. when i record a video with my band even with an external Mic. it seems to compress the sound. so it will be like lower volume then, it will be normal volume then lower volume. TIA.
WiFi calling hardware missing on unlocked S9?
I am being told by Samsung that the hardware to make WiFi calling is missing on the unlocked phones. This sounds odd. Can anyone on this forum confirm?
Moinuddin Syed (Samsung E-Commerce)

The unlocked version will not have the option to turn on Wi-Fi calling as the hardware which supports the feature is not available in Unlocked version.
This has been talked about in length in other threads.
1. Samsung support knows nothing, if it isn't on their script they will give you any answers that kinda could make sense, not necessarily facts. If you ask them again you will get a different answer.
2. Yes the unlocked variant had WiFi calling, I use WiFi calling on T-Mobile.

Unlocked S9 WiFi calling
@bkeaver, this gives me hope!
A few follow-ups:
- is the U1 variant you buy directly from Samsung or the one from Best Buy (or some place else?)
- did you have to do anything to enable WiFi calling? Where is that setting in your screenshot, Settigs or the phone app?
- are you on Tmobile USA?
Thank you so much!

U1 is the carrier unlocked variant purchased from Samsung directly. Not sure what the variant is that Best buy sells. Could be the same model for all I know. WiFi calling is on by default and off the top of my head I don't remember which menu it's off of. Give me a few and I'll fire it up and get you a location of it.
And yes it's T-Mobile USA

If you buy an unlocked model from Best Buy, that's also U1...just like direct from Samsung.

Pitching in to confirm, S9+ unlocked, directly from Samsung using Mint Cell(love it, cheap, good&plenty), which runs on T-Mobile bands. Had to do 'in app'(mint) request to enable WIFI calling and they made it possible in 5 minutes. Yes, the WIFI calling settings are in the phone by default.

Yes, T-Mobile (and I guess it's MVNOs) have made unlocked firmware work wonderfully. I'd never use carrier firmware with them.
WiFi calling on S9
On the third try, I think I figured out the WiFi calling issue on unlocked devices (Galaxy S9). The key is to have the T-Mobile SIM card in the device before starting the setup for the first time. Doing this, the first popup I got said that the device will be updated with carrier specific settings. Then i went through the setup, and WiFi calling was there in the Phone app -> settings.
On another device I went through the setup first and then popped in the Tmobile sim, and the same window about carrier settings never presented itself.

I am facing the same problem, should I factory reset it? I unlocked the phone using SamKey, and the phone is Sprint unlocked. Missing Wifi Calling
I recently bought the LG g8x from Flipkart. I was surprised to see that the phone didn't show any signal when I popped in my Singapore sim card. I was previously using the same simcard on a different phone, so I was sure it was working. To be sure, I put it back in the old phone (Redmi Note 8 Pro), it still worked. To check whether the issue is with just a particular carrier/country, I tried simcards from UK, USA, Singapore, and South Africa. All did not show any signal in the LG g8x. They all showed a signal on the Redmi. Am I missing something?
I did contact the LG support over whatsapp and phone, and their replies were... unhelpful to say the least. I have attached a screenshot of my conversation with them. I noticed sometimes it said network locked on the pull-down menu.
Any ideas/inputs?

Thats odd. This phone is supposed to support all 4g bands. Try a network reset. Try enabling roaming. Try different sim slot. Switch off that hotspot while testing.
Your home screen looks different. Whats that SOS mode? Did you change firmwares or have not updated to latest os?

Hey.
Well, it was odd to me too, which is why I put it up here to make others aware. For clarity, I am still in India, and just have a lot of international simcards because of my line of work.
I tried to enable roaming, but it doesn't get enabled. I tried either sim slots. I also tried putting an indian sim with an international sim in either sim slots. The indian simcard immediately catches network in all cases.
That was the hotspot that was showing up, which I stopped while testing. My background is changed, otherwise the phone is almost as i got it, apart from the updates. It has been updated to the latest available ota showing to me.

International sim on lg g8x
Hai,
I am now at uk and using lebara sim and its working perfectly , i activated the sim while i was in India, there where no issues then or till now. I bought the phone on big billion days sale on the very first day.
It may be network lock done by LG to avoid illegal sale of flipkart phones outside india. Just like samsung . which allows you to use international sims only when you activate the device with Indian sim and use it for atleast 10 to 20 mins. This way grey market cant sell a boxed phone outside india.

I bought it in india, but never bothered to use it there as im using an LG G6. When i tried the qatar sim it says network locked. i have an International airtel sim with me her in qatar and when i tried that sim, it catches the network instantly. As you mentioned "use it for atleast 10 to 20 minutes". Is it enough to put that sim and switch it on and let it be in standby state or do i need to make 20 minutes worth call with that sim. can you please specify.
Make calls for atleast 5 to 10 mins.
Although i am not sure whether you need a indian radio (i mean you need to be in india) despite of using indian network airtel.
Samsung phones which has indian sim only label outside the box. Says use it with indian sim and make calls for atleast 5 mins to activate the usage of international sims.
Lg should have at least cared to put this label like Samsung.
Hi, folks. I'm having the same issue. Bought in India in Amazon (not even on Flipkart sale!), but unboxed later in Russia.
That surprise was waiting me when I installed local SIM cards. Can anyone help to fix that? I'd even agree to buy Indian SIM card to unlock it, but I have no idea how to get it in Russia. Tried couple unlocking services - they cannot help to unlock it, because it's locked by region, not by network provider, and it's seems none has codes yet (
Maybe there are some variants to get any Indian promo SIM or smth like that and send it to my location?
I'm exhausted of finding solution, that's just aweful regarding the fact I bought a new "not locked" phone

Hello Suhesh, have you had a success with Airtel SIM outside of India? I mean, have you unlocked network by using it (making calls etc)? That would be very helpful for me to know

Initially the phone needs to be activated rather to be used along with Indian SIM, later on in any country the phone will work with any country SIM for sure.
