So Google released the much awaited December update with more than 100 fixes and I have tested some of the newest fixes in and out. Some users now report signal loss and connectivity issues with the December Update, specifically users from Europe and in none supported countries where Pixel 6 is not offered officially, but not only - also official countries users are complaining.
The is a reddit thread where vachezoub suggested a very easy fix for connectivity issues and signal loss and it seems it`s working already for several users! So let`s check this FIX and let`s apply it in this video!

Thanks for the feedback man!
If not a secret, where are you from?
Asking cause I am from Bulgaria, Europe, where the Pixel 6 is not sold officially hence no profiles from the carriers, and it`s a mess - like I said in my video - no 5G (which I can live w/o) but no VoLTE and VoWifi - for the VoLTE I am very much dependent on it as I do a lot of voice calls from mobile while browsing using data and with VoLTE it`s a pleasure and now w/o and the Pixel 6 I am using H+ and it`s... slow
It`s definitely better for myself as well!

Yep, I am following the other topic - I would probably root just to get the VoLTE, dont care so much for 5G... but it`s very disappointing - and it was not like that with Pixel 4 and etc.
One of my friends is in NL - where Google DO have a SHOP - but they DONT sell the Pixel there ... so same story
Hi everyone, I had the same issue with my Pixel 6 Pro and tried everything that you guys mentioned but nothing really worked.
But in another thread I read that it was possible to install the android 12L and android 13 beta modem.img in the public android 12, after that I proceed to install it and it fixed my issue at all, finally I have my P6P just the way it should be without signal dropping when calling and everything working just fine, network speed increased too.
I have these config:
-Android 12 June update.
-Unlocked bootloader.
-Rooted with magisk 25.1
-Installed android 13 beta modem.img vía fastboot.
I leave the modem files, hope it helps you.

Why are there two modem.img files? When I unzip the Android 13 Beta 3.2 file for the P6P, I only see one modem file.

Looks like they are the same file with 2 different versions/dates. I was going to flash the modem file from Android 13 Beta 3.2

Does anyone else still has signal issues and call fails even on newest update and beta carrier services. Every call I have to recall atleast twice for stable signal.

I have the same issue on daily basis. I have at least 30 calls per day and every 2nd or 3rd call has to be repeated. I tried to compare my P6 pro with midranger phones with the same network carrier (I used network cell info lite app) and their signal is so much better (per example - 75 dBm, while p6 pro has -90 or above -100 score). I use it in dual sim mode, and there's no difference between eSim and classic physical SIM in signal strength. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS. I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM SINCE DECEMBER 2021, AND I'M NOT AN OPTIMIST THAT GOOGLE WILL RESOLVE THIS (I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY DIDN'T DO THAT FOR ALMOST A YEAR). I live in Serbia, where pixels are not in the official carrier sale.

Did you try to use only 2G to one of your two SIMs? Enter to *#*#4636#*#* and lock the one sim to 2G.
If you have unsupported carriers in your phone, is very common. Try the trick above it might help.

I would definitely root simply to gain the VoLTE; I don't care as much about 5G. However, it is quite upsetting because it wasn't like that with the Pixel 4 and other devices. One of my friends lives in the Netherlands, where Google does have a store, but the Pixel is not available there.

As I know pixel 4 doesn't have 5G and there wasn't 5G antennas so as to abolish the 3G ones, as happeining right now.
The users of supported countries have less related issues. Here is the map till now.

I did that. Thank you! It increased the signal strength on the other SIM by 30%. That solved one problem, now I have one more left, because my main SIM (eSIM) is still bad with signal and I can't set it to 2G because I have constant need to be online via LTE network. The phone store don't accept the return of the device through the warranty because when I took the phone to the city center where the shop is located, it catches an excellent network signal, and they say everything's fine, but as soon as you go outside the center (even just two blocks) everything is much worse. At one web page, I saw a comment where a man says that this is a problem of 30% of total users of P6 pro, but I didn't find any other posts about specific product series which has that problem.

This sounds your carrier's problem. In general, pixels have strong signal comparing to other expensive phones. Apart from the fact that they have interruptions etc.
So, the strength might come from the bad covering from your carrier.
The last suggestion that I can give to you is to swap the eSIM to SIM.

Thank you. I will try to put SIM from another carrier to check if that works. But before I switched my physical SIM to 2G, the signal from that SIM and eSIM were the same (bad). And both of them are from the same carrier at this moment.

Try the sim in another dual phone.
Try another carrier in your phone.
Try a factory reset after the tonight's update.

I have been searching and searching about this since long before I even got my Touch Pro(well actually AT&T Fuze) and I have stumbled across some information on the subject but not any real definitive answers.
Here in this thread, you can see that the Xperia X1 was enabled for the 1700Mhz network:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427316
In post #377 of this thread here, there is even a screenshot:
http://www.bengalboy.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1107&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=370
I know there is a thread in the Blackstone section here and maybe even more.
My question is does anyone think this is possible and do you think it will happen anytime in the near future?
I'm a T-Mobile US customer and I'm dealing with the slow EDGE speeds but would prefer T-Mobile's 3G and I know I'm not alone here.
I think it's definitely something worth doing since it will drastically increase the market for these phones. Increasing the market will increase the user base and the more users, the better the community could be.
Just my 2 cents.
EDIT::
Here is that screenshot of the Sony Xperia X1 with the 1700Mhz UMTS Band enabled:

From what I have been led to believe that a security unlocked Touch Pro is capable of using the Xperia's Radio. If it's capable of using the Xperia's Radio then it should be capable of using the 1700 Band.
This is a project I hope will become a popular topic.
And forgive me for starting a new thread. I know there are many others out there like this but I just figured creating a dedicated thread that was fresh and right at the top was a good idea.
unless I am mistaken and this is the case with other HTC devices it is not the software that controlls which radio frequency it can handle its hardware has to be capable of supporting that frequency which I dont think the Fuze is capable.

The Fuze, hardware wise, is nearly identical to the Touch Pro. Also I read in one of the older threads that the antenna is capable of supporting the 1700Mhz Band because it is so close to the 1800Mhz Band. It's just an antenna.
What needs to be changed are drivers. Our devices have the same chipset as the T-Mobile HTC G1. Why can't we port that radio to the Raphael?
I always thought u could retune the antenna sort of like a radio to make it work on another frequency but I think it would have to be a hardware modification like opening up the device and using jtag to change it

I think what you said is definitely true. The only different, as I understand, its that Pro blocks the 850/1700/1800 when shipped to different countries. Like the one I am using is the HTC Pro that claims to be quad band with all the necessary freq. on board.
Please let me know if there is anything I could help since I want to use mine with ATT 3g if possible
I am a TE major, so maybe I would still some of my knowledge
Thanks
I think my question is:
In the band tab in phone, I could choose the similar settings as AT&T is using, 850+1900, but why is it not going to the 3G icon?
I am researching on this and hopefully could come back with answer.
huh....maybe I need to security unlock this and flash with AT&T radio?
Hey guys sorry to jump into the mix, but i just wanted to say something. My friend at work has a G1 with the G1 data package and i wanted to show him the skyfire browser because he didnt beleave that it played embeded flash videos. at the time i did not have any data package on my Touch Pro so i askekd to use his sim card. When i used his sim card to browse skyfire and Opera the speeds were crazy fast, it could not have been GPRS or EDGE...it was way to fast. So does this play any part in trying to access the 1700Mhz Band.

By default, you should be able to see what connection you have on the rapheal. is it showing an E/H/3G?
Well that was few weeks ago so i cant really remember which it was accessing...but i know the speeds of Edge and Gprs and that was not it. maybe it was hsdpa or 3g. with edge or gprs playing video in skyfire gives you that lag or constant buffer, whatever i was on that day was fast, very fast..even my friend said it moved faster than his G1 using 3G.

This would be awesome, I am tired of EDGE speeds when there is Tmobile 3G signal in the places I am at. I have a G1 as well but don't use it because they detect IMEI and won't let me use data if I don't specifically have their G1 DATA package. Weird how in the picture it is 3G only and no GSM to fall back on. Too bad my device is not security unlocked.

Yeah there were other photos that displayed the GSM options but I only copied this one.
Yeah I'm not security unlocked yet either but I plan to get unlocked as soon as either Oilpro PMs me back or I get the money to purchase the security unlock...
I just don't understand why he's charging for all of this. Back in the day when I had a Wizard(T-Mobile MDA) this was all free. I guess different time different people different way of working...

yep, I am waiting for his kindness now.
the issue we are facing is not hardware. I think it bares in the radio stack that the hardware receives. As the specs they are, the HTC Pro is identical to ATT Fuze, and it should be able to discover all freqs 850+1800+1900+2100. So there must be something in protocol that prevents us to use the 3g network.
I am gather evidence that this is doable and once Olipro would be kind enough to help my security unlock this, I will start digging in.
Thanks
EDIT: OK, just got pm from Olipro, no luck on free unlock. Guess I need to find some money to pay on this now
UMTS 850MHz
There are people already working on this here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420865&page=40
I think this would also answer whether or not the 1700MHz would be usable also.
Cheers
Sorry to disappoint, but 1700mhz won't be possible unless HTC releases a UMTS-IV version of the Touch Pro. The UMTS radio is not like the GSM radio (which was unlocked on the Diamond to give it quad-GSM).
This was covered at great length in the X1 forum, but the 1700mhz option you see on the prototype X1 is a software oversight. If you read the BengalBoy thread, you will see that he was unable to connect to Tmobile's 3G network regardless of the setting. That's because the X1 radio simply does not have UMTS-IV (1700/2100mhz) support, and it cannot be "unlocked".
The reason a "UMTS (1700)" option exists in the first place is because Japanese carrier e-Mobile uses UMTS 1700 (band IX, which does not use 2100mhz and is therefore incompatible with Tmo US 3G). Moreover, if it was really meant to support Tmo 3G, the option should read "UMTS (1700/2100) + GSM (850/1900)".
If you search Kaiser forums, you can find a CAB that adds the "UMTS (1700)" option into WM, but it is intended exclusively for e-mobile subscribers and does nothing for anyone else who does not have a UMTS-IX (e-Mobile) phone.

Yes i am very sure i was not using wifi, only my friends G1 Sim card with the $35.00 G1 data package. wifi was not on as i only powered the phone after putting in his Sim card. i will do another comparison tomorrow when i see him at work. but i do think using the better data package does something. if any of you guys have friends with G1's and the G1 data package ask to so a test using your Touch Pro and reports the speeds you browse at or the data rate.
I received my new Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) a couple of days ago and I'm on the AT&T Network here in the US. I have had my MicroSIM changed TWICE and still I'm getting dropped calls like crazy. I never had this problem with my SG2. Is anyone else with a S3 on the AT&T Network experiencing more than usual Dropped Calls and 3G Data loss (Web Pages not found, No Network Connection etc) - if so, did you fix the problem and HOW??? I have reset my APN (Cingular 410 / wap.cingular) to default so many times, it's ridiculous - any help is most appreciated
UPDATE:
I just installed the MicroSIM Card I bought on Amazon.com (SKU 73054) and removed the AT&T Furnished iPAD MicroSIM Card (SKU 72288) - the AT&T Tech admitted they gave me the wrong MicroSIM Card - TWICE. Proud to say that I am now getting 3 to 4 Signal Bars in My Basement where I was hardly getting 1 bar before. I highly recommend purchasing the 73054 Card from only ABE-123 on Amazon.com (all others are cut cards) to anyone that may be having Signal Issues.

You know, I along with other users have noticed that the radio is not as strong as the... HTC One X...
But the HTC One X was made specifically for ATT wher ehte International version is not. I don't know why reception isn't as good but I do see my phone sometimes changing between 3G, H and H+. The signal is pretty weak.

Not to start an argument but having had the Lumia 900 and the One X, where I live, I found that the One X had a pretty poor radio when it came to reception.
The 1.85 update did help a bit, but the difference is noticeable when comparing it to the Lumia.

Reflashing XXALE8 is tempting but I already rooted the phone and setup all my apps, I think I'll hold off on that till I get back from AT&T tomorrow but you make a very good point - i'm wondering if there is a later v4.0.4 firmware available for this UK Phone that might address the radio in this S3

That's not uncommon. A lot of the GSM for AT&T is on 850 and penetrates buildings better whereas 3G in most places is on 1900 Mhz.
When I switch between them in the house I always get better reception with 2G rather than 3G.

Unfortunately I sold my SG2 on eBay to offset the cost of this S3 - I purchased 3 MicroSIMs and 1 is a Genuine 3G AT&T MicroSIM from Amazon with a SKU of 73054 while the AT&T Store MicroSIM are used for the iPad with a SKU of 72288. I just wish I knew if this is a MicroSIM Problem or an APN Problem...

PROBLEM SOLVED:
I just installed the MicroSIM Card I bought on Amazon.com (SKU 73054) and removed the AT&T Furnished iPAD MicroSIM Card (SKU 72288) - the AT&T Tech admitted they gave me the wrong MicroSIM Card - TWICE. Proud to say that I am now getting 3 to 4 Signal Bars in My Basement where I was hardly getting 1 bar before. I highly recommend purchasing the 73054 Card from only ABE-123 on Amazon.com (all others are cut cards) to anyone that may be having Signal Issues. Thank You EVERYBODY for all your help and suggestions

Interesting.. How exactly does that work if you buy a MicroSIM off Amazon? Do you take it into the AT&T store and have them activate it or do it online?
The reason I'm asking is my SGS3 is coming tomorrow and given my luck with reception issues with the One X, I'm trying to explore all my options if I have problems. :S
I'm glad it was just a microsim card error and not a phone issue. I have to change my sim card every year because I start getting bad signal by that time. I swear the sim card manufacturer's put an expiration date on these sim cards so we have to buy a new one every year. At least in my case I do.

You can activate you MicroSIM ONLINE with AT&T (800-331-0500) and just tell them you want to activate you new MicroSIM Card and give them the 20 digit Numeric ICCID Number that is on the MicroSIM Card - it's really easy once you have the correct MicroSIM - Good Luck with your S3 - I Love Mine NOW
Does anyone else device jump back and forth from 3G, H and H+?

I wonder the same thing.
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...
Click to collapse
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...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?

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.
So I purchased an almost new V30 and got an ATT unlocked phone for a good deal off of ebay. I've been noticing signal issues vs my previous cheapie Samsung J7 and now can't get wifi calling or mobile hotspot to work. Any insight would be fantastic. I haven't rooted a phone in a while so I'm a little leary on that if I don't have to.
I am not familiar with Metro, but I suspect much like ST that their ToS do not allow tethering. It is also doubtful you have native tether with a carrier branded phone. Rooting is pretty easy if you have a PC, quality USB cable, and patience to read and follow the very well written WTF guide, link below. Switching to either stock US998 or an AOSP rom will get you tethering. Liquid Remix is well-regarded by many.

That is my frustration. I get 5 gigs of mobile hot spot included every month. So It's a loss not to have it. Would rooting improve signal strength. I'm certain it's an LG software issue rather than hardware.
My service is over Verizon's towers so it is hard to give you a firm answer. What I can say is that the open market US998 is rated for service on ATT. US998 firmware will rid you of the carrier dongles and bloat. That said, there are some quirks about signal strength and sms for some cross-flashing cases. Hopefully someone in the know will comment for you. You can also browse the WTF forum.

You sure H931 is carrier unlocked? If so, then it's probably already been flashed to US998... That's the way most carrier unlock the H931.
Converted to US998 it will work on T-Mobile/Metro just fine.
You don't need to root, if you don't want.
Well the reason I posted the thread was because yes I have been able to activate it, but my signal is far worse on this flagship phone I'll be at a year-and-a-half old then it was on my Cheapo three-year-old Samsung j7. LTE Discovery doesn't even show GSM on this phone for me. And as I said I can't get any wireless hotspot.
Any idea why I'm not showing any gsm signal on lte discovery?

I would Frankenstein it to US998. You'll get rid of the AT&T bloatware.
Also make sure it's on LTE/HSPA/GSM mode not global mode or something.
It doesn't even show gsm signal. Wish I would have done more research on which variant to buy because it sounds like this att version won't even accept aosp
How do I make sure it is on LTE/HSPA/GSM rather than global?

I don't think mine offers that option. I've actually been reading your thread about the secret menu selections. I think my big concern is with this phone being that it's the AT&T variant from what I'm reading I can't install custom roms I can only go rooted and remove bloatware or go with Factory style ROMs. I really do appreciate all your responses. I think we talked about this but with a custom rom would it address the issues that I'm having with signal? I really don't believe that it's a hardware issue I'm pretty much certain it's that LG has crappy modem software

Rev 1.0 for hardware version. Lg h931.
Software is 7.1.2 AT&T shows that I'm do an update for Oreo, but obviously the phone is on MetroPCS at this point. I'm a somebody that loves to mess with things The Tweak little things here and there so I want to fix the handset because I think the build and the hardware fantastic I'm just frustrated immensely by the fact again not to repeat myself but for the third time that a cheapo Samsung j7 my old phone and my wife's j7 Prime both get far better signal strength. And I'm also immensely confused by the fact that when I look at LTE Discovery it shows nothing under the GSM window.
I suspected as much. So you have a carrier dongled phone from ATT and are surprised/frustrated it doesn't work? What the j7 does is not relevant
Forgive me for being terse, but you have all the information at hand to decide what to do.

I have excellent signal.
Let's forget about custom ROMs for a minute. Let's try to improve your signal. Installing custom ROMs is another discussion altogether and has nothing to do with improving your signal, getting LTE or anything. There's nothing in custom ROMs that will improve signal strength to my knowledge. It's using the exact same radio firmware as stock.
You are on 1-year old Nougat firmware, not the latest most recent available. I would recommend converting to carrier unlocked "open market" US998 firmware -- which is designed to work with ALL North American carriers, while the H931 is designed to work with AT&T -- and then updating to US998 20G (January 2019 security patch). It's the only way you are ever going to be able to update your firmware -- yes, which has newer modems.
You can do that, see if your signal improves -- then you can decide if you want to unlock bootloader and root. Yeah, to unlock bootloader you would have to then temporarily downgrade back to 20A or 20B, but I really want to keep this discussion focused on signal strength for now.

I have LTE Discovery and use it all the time. I have never seen this "GSM Window" you keep talking about. Are you saying you saying you on not LTE or HSPA at all?
What does it show under the "Signals" tab? Give us a screenshot. It should show LTE or HSPA and show dBm signal strength. It should also show closest tower distance and GPS coordinates and how many satellites are available. (I have 12 GPS satellites available with less than 3 meters accuracy.)
Also, when you do a speed test, what is your speed?
These are not my screenshots, it's from another thread where someone was having problems. I just wanted to show you the "Signals" tab I'm talking about...
Mine looks exactly like the screenshot that you posted. So you see there's an LTE chart on the left and a GSM chart on the right? That's what I'm referencing. So I guess my question would be how can I update now that I've got an AT&T phone on Metro

But GSM isn't going to show anything, unless you're on GSM. What does LTE show?
The only way you're going to update is to Frankenstein convert to carrier unlocked variant like US998 that has public KDZ releases , which you flash with LGUP. H931 doesn't.
I live in Canada and bought a US variant s23 Ultra. Two things I have noticed,
1. Wifi calling can be configured in my provider end (Virgin), and when it ask to complete the setup by turning on wifi calling it does not work.
2. Samsung pay is not working.
Has anyone faced any sort of issues after flashing SM-S918W firmware in SM918U1?
Any cons??
Also, my apps will be wiped or no? I have already seen that I can keep data intact while flashing with Oidin.

Wi-Fi calling won’t work on the U1 (neither with VoLTE) in Canada except on Rogers. Bell and Telus whitelist W model IMEI numbers. Even if you flash the W firmware it won’t work.

If this is the case. Was this a recent change? VoLTE used to work fine as well as 5G using my old OnePlus 8T+ 5G. It honestly wouldn't surprise me but if this is actually happening. I hope everyone files a complaint with the CRTC over their anti-competitive behavior. I won't be able to try mine out until i get back to Toronto after Easter but I will be reaching out to their Executive Team directly if this is the case and consider returning my 6 lines to Rogers.

It used to be that way about SIM locking devices too. Sometimes things can change for the better. Especially if enough people complain about the same issue.

I tried submitting a CCTS claim but they sent me back the requirements and there is a specific section about devices on their network and how that's exempt. The only way might be writing your MP to voice your complaint. I agree if enough people complain maybe they will do something but I won't hold my breath. In my case I switched carriers to Rogers since I didn't want to give up my U1 device but I know not everyone is in that position.

I need a device compatible with mt T-Mobile SIM and Telus. US devices are much more compatible globally in my opinion and T-Mobile's roaming rates make Canadian carrier rates look like a joke in comparison.

100%.
telus/kodoo wifi calling did not work for me and the phone was from Telus!
Had to switch to Rogers.
I do remember that my previous phone (online bought) was not supported by my carrier for Vowifi, and I found on the carrier forum how to push it with ADB. It worked, can't remember exactly the steps it's been a while
You cannot use a US S23 Ultra with a Canadian SIM card, but you can use International Data Roaming with a supported US carrier.
(This is a MAJOR change for 2023 and beyond. Samsung is putting the final nail in the coffin to end foreign SIM card support on US Galaxy devices, even after a network unlock.)

telus/kodoo wifi calling did not work for me and the phone was from Telus!
Had to switch to Rogers.
I do remember that my previous phone (online bought) was not supported by my carrier for Vowifi, and I found on the carrier forum how to push it with ADB. It worked, can't remember exactly the steps it's been a while

I did similar with the OnePlus 8T+ 5G. Using QPST, you change the carrier profile for the SIM. This also worked on my Xiaomi Mi MIX 3.

You cannot use a US S23 Ultra with a Canadian SIM card, but you can use International Data Roaming with a supported US carrier.
(This is a MAJOR change for 2023 and beyond. Samsung is putting the final nail in the coffin to end foreign SIM card support on US Galaxy devices, even after a network unlock.)

Samsung doesn't care. As long as you buy their phone, they get your money. I am going to have a conversation with the Telus Executive Team this week about this. I want to know what exactly is done. If it's white listing as mentioned. Then they can lock my device ID to a previously sold Telus device to keep these features active on my s23 Ultra. I had this done with my old Rogers s9+ on AT&T that was flashed to keep WiFi Calling and VoLTE working for that device while she used it.
good luck with Telus, I spoke with many people to get the freaking Vowifi option enable, and nothing can be done. Ive pposted on all possible forums to let people know.
Even the engineer team was aware of that and they didnt care.
Sad I personally know the ex VP of telus, but now retired...
I spoke to one of the senior network engineers at Telus after confusing my contact in the Telus Executive Office. What I was told...
Devices are not provisioned by IMEI but are by device model. So even a W flashed U or U1 will still show up as what it is because of the one unchangeable CSC. The crock about having to test devices before the model gets approved is a typical line but that is their excuse to limit what devices fully function on their network to help encourage customers to buy from Telus. However, devices and devices models will be added as time passes. I sent the engineer the IMEI's for my TMB U s23 Ultra and this is what I was told.
Not vetted yet but as explained to me over the phone. Devices and device model variants will be added to the vetted list over time. This practice was implemented less than a year ago now. There is no ETA for this and I am not aware of any way to bypass the IMS vetting list. Device refreshes take place every few days.
