Question Activating 5G in unsupported countries? - Google Pixel 6

I know this might require root, which I am more than willing to do. But is there a process or a magisk module that can activate 5G on unsupported countries?
(btw im from PH)

Hey, still no way for the moment
Google geolocked it and EFSTool isn't working with tensor but devs are (i hope) working on it !
I'll try to find a way when i got anytime too

that's too bad. suddenly had no urge to root anymore :/

VoLTE is working fine and gives upto 200mbps which is good enough for internet to smartphone and hotspot. 5g will only make your battery consumption high.

Root is the only method the 4g VoLTE works and a lot of developers did their best to come up with the perfect magisk modules. So far so good but yes I understand how it feels when your handset is capable of 5g and google don't care.

Install the below module through Magisk and reboot (there are two of them, start with 0.4A and see if that works for you, if not, try the other one), then make sure to enable VoLTE in settings:
Releases ยท swangjang/Pixel-Redbull-Carrier-Patch
This is a Magisk module (in testing) for Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 that enables 5G for Unlisted Countries, VoLTE switches in the settings and add support for more countries/carriers. - swangjang/Pi...

Are there any ROMs with wi-fi calling?

Hey guys,
Currently running Lineage 14.1 and trying to enable Wifi calling. I've searched a lot and I can't find any Redmi Note 3 roms that specifically state that wi-fi calling works.
I have enabled it in my build.prop and it shows up under "Wireless and Networks" (it doesn't appear in search though).
Also dialling *#*#4636#*#* now allows me to toggle wi-fi calling. When I go IMS Status it shows that VoLTE is active, but never wi-fi calls.
I'm on Three UK and wi-fi calling should work (with a Three branded phone).. But I hope I can get it to work on my RN3!
Anyone able to help?
Thanks
Try pure Nexus rom it states that WiFi calling is working
In nitrogen oreo build it's showing WiFi calling provisioned enable . Try this rom also.
Ps: never used wifi calling option

Hey man thanks,
I came from Pure Nexus due to lack of support, dev stopped updates in June
Just checked the page again and can't find any mention!
I'll give it a go anway, maybe I'll check the Demon_sss ROM
Cheers

Sadly no. Pure Nexus doesn't have it. Everywhere you ask, someone will tell you to use your eyes and just search, no ROM has wifi calling working that I have tried.
I've tried updating build props and using Magisk fix and still nothing works.
I'm currently on Resurrection Remix with Radon and just settled on it for battery/stability..
Post if you find a ROM with this feature functioning properly.?

Mi Pad 4 GPS function?

I am looking at buying a mi pad 4 as a present, but I'm looking for a tablet with GPS function.
I note the wifi version does not have GPS, but I believe the LTE version does.
My question is:- As the 4G bands are not the UK bands, I don't believe a UK SIM will work in the device, therefore will the GPS work in the UK, if there is no SIM installed?
Yest, GPS will work.

Wich Provider and whick LTE Bands use your Provider?
GPS will work without Sim Card
The uk providers use either band 3 (1800mhz), 7 (2600mhz) & all four providers use band 20 (800mhz).
my current provider uses only band 20, but I'm willing to swap
"Yest, GPS will work."
"GPS will work without Sim Card"
Unless it does not. Eg: the GPS testing application shows good reception and correct coordinates, but google maps (and some other apps) cannot use it, and there really is no single answer why and how to fix it.
I have read about the error in drivers.

I think is SW issue. Actually, app related one. Probably some xiaomi implementation is to blame but if some app work as they should (here maps for me) and others don't (your local weather that work just fine on moto x play with aosp extended) then it should be possible to fix this on the app side.

Definitely, I'm positive though the google won't touch their maps or chrome apps to fix them on non-certified platform

Enable WiFi calling

Hi,
I have been suffering to enable the WiFi calling on my Poco F1. I'm on the last beta ROM 9.1.24. I posted the same thing in MIUI forum, but no clear answer.
I tried these codes, but it didn't work also:
*#*#869434#*#* (vowifi)
I found a link here on XDA to enable this feature but it requires root :/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/guide-activate-vowifi-wlan-call-t3871263
My carrier supports the service, I tried my sim on other Samsung device, it worked. But for Pocophone, the options are greyed, can't turn them on as in the picture.
Is there any way to enable it without root?
It's the same as mine though still looking for the workarounds on this in 2020.

How can I lock LTE Band with POCO (ROOT)

I find 10000 threads of people trying to lock Bands without root
So I think that with root it might be easier... or not?
I have Pixel Experience 12 in my POCO F1
And I'm looking on how can I lock the LTE Band
I have installed Network Signal Guru Free but it doesn't offer anymore the LOCK option as I see in many screenshots
Any other ideas?
Use Cellular (Z) Pro(not available in Play Store) . NSG doesn't seem to work reliably in case of 4G+ networks.

Question Wifi 6E on XQ-CT72 (TW Version)

Hi there, got myself a TW version X1 iv. Ive found out that it wasn't able to see Wifi 6E (6Ghz) hotspots. I read that TW hasn't adopted Wifi 6E so TW firmware probably has that disabled.
Question: can anyone confirm whether they can see Wifi 6E hotspots on HK / SEA firmware? Can I cross flash other firmwares under the same XQ-CT72 SKU?
Many thanks.
Also: is it something that can be bypassed without having to flash firmware?
Edit: went ahead and flashed HK and then USA firmware, neither worked, still couldn't see Wifi 6E network. Anyone have any luck with this & does the router config matter?

Why? Obviously SD 8 Gen 1 has the hardware for that. Sony even boasted WIFI 6E connectivity in the promo material (on their TW website too)

Ct 62 no special config on router my wifi 6e ap is a ubiquity uap 6 enterprise
Hello all,
I was able to figure this out. Here's a copy of my Reddit post:
After importing the Sony Xperia 1 IV "Gaming Edition" from Taiwan to the US for the additional 4GB of RAM (16GB vs 12GB) and ability to unlock the bootloader (the US model, XQ-CT62, does not allow bootloader unlocking), I discovered that my XQ-CT72 would not see my 6GHz network, only my 2.4/5GHz networks. After installing Termux and verifying that 6GHz was indeed disabled (iw list) despite my country code being set to the US already (iw reg get country), I attempted to flash XQ-CT62's modem firmware, which succeeded but still did not enable WiFi 6e. Comparing the firmwares with WinMerge, I found that the Taiwan and USA firmwares have different props set for several RF-related values in /oem/etc/customization/config.prop.
I wrote a short script to override the relevant props on the Taiwan firmware with the props from the US firmware and dropped it in /data/adb/post-fs-data.d (making sure the script was set to executable, i.e. chmod +x) to ensure Magisk would run it before most of Android had been started, and after that was able to see and connect to 6GHz networks successfully:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
resetprop -n ro.vendor.sony.wlan.6e_cc_list US
resetprop -n ro.vendor.product.rf.id PDX223-A2US
resetprop -n ro.oem_ant_switch_index_table 0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2
resetprop -n ro.oem_sar_back_off_index_table 1,2,8,1,6,3,8,1,5,2,8,1,5,2,8,1,1,2,8,1,6,3,8,1,5,2,8,1,5,2,8,1
Note: I tested setting only resetprop -n ro.vendor.sony.wlan.6e_cc_list US without overriding the RF ID with ro.vendor.product.rf.id PDX223-A2US and this did not work unfortunately. ro.oem_ant_switch_index_table and ro.oem_sar_back_off_index_table are probably not strictly required, but since XQ-CT72 (TW) is not FCC-certified, I figured it would be best to adjust the antenna parameters to match the FCC-certified XQ-CT62 (US) just in case.
Reporting back - huge kudos to #8 @noellemercer 's post confirming it is indeed possible to bypass OS lvl restrictions.
I tried out his script but unfortunately still couldn't see WIFI 6E networks. iw reg get returns "unset" countries. In his reddit post he mentioned he was on US mobile network which was infeasible for me ATM, sadly.
I digged further and found out there's another property tied to wifi country code. I made change to that on top of the ones above and voila, all good!
You just need to add one more line to above:
resetprop -n ro.boot.wificountrycode US
Good luck!
Update - welp, I had got ahead of myself...
So after the fix I was able to see & connect to my 6Ghz network. But it remained unusable 99% of the time. My phone might be able to load a webpage or two before the connection would be automatically dropped. Can't even load up the speed test webpage lol!
I guess for me there's more to just setting a flag or two. I tried flashing CT62's modem firmware and it brought no improvements. iw outputs look alright though. @noellemercer how's your speed? Is your 6Ghz hotspot on 160mhz? I am wondering where else I should look at. Maybe all the props?

I'm using an Ubiquiti gateway/router and an ASUS GT-AXE11000 in AP-only mode running asuswrt-merlin 388.1. Channel width is set to 160MHz. I don't have issues with dropouts so I'm not sure what the cause could be unfortunately; I get about 700-900mbps down on speed tests which is about the same as my Pixel 6 Pro (my WAN is 2gbps up/1gbps down).
The only thing I can think of in your case is to check if something is resetting the US country code prop after your network drops, as that's the only client-side (i.e. the phone itself) difference between our setups.
Can confirm that after many tweaks 6Ghz wifi is working reliably. Interestingly webpages do not load as swiftly compared to 5Ghz but disconnects no longer happen. I did have to reconfigure my wireless router, which seemed to be the main culprit. Going forward I'll probably just cross flash USA firmware.
Update 5/12/2023 - can confirm it's still working like a charm after flashing multiple builds. I believe initially the problem lay more with my router (GT-11000AXE). I did a factory reset and format on USB drive, reflashed Merlin and reinstalled scripts that I used, no more drops. The above script is still needed (as Google account etc. might automatically change region) but yes you don't necessarily have to remain on US firmware (I did as I don't plan on using cellular in the near future - even if I do I'll just use basic telephony services).
