By going through the manual & comparing it to the EU version I've compiled a list of things tmous has changed on the phone. (in case anyone was interested)
Removed:
Quick Lookup - ability to select something & choose lookup through Google, Wikipedia, etc
Show Me app
Ebook reader completely missing even though HTC widget is still there
Voice Recorder
Voice Dialer
Dock settings
Locations
The Device Setup on first boot is missing things
Added:
Wifi calling (Tmobile's UMA feature)
I wonder why Tmobile removed all of these?
Here is a Voice Recorder app in the market that someone recommended since ours is missing:

Did they keep Locations? And the quick look up thing is actually useful...dumb.

seems to be missing too. updated post.
Man why the **** is it 3 years since using a HTC Touch and they are still locking in bull**** accuweather with no zipcode search or cities that aren't major?
Ran into the voicerecorder bs.
Is there anyway to add any of those features back in or are they hard built into the rom?

What do you mean by "wifi calling"? is it calling via wifi using SIP provider?
If so, we do have it on our Vodafone UK branded units.
If it's something else, please explain.
well I guess it's good I havn't waited for the 4G to come and pre-ordered the British version.. just one thing, the WiFi Calling looks good.. (first time with Android and HTC xD) is there any way to get it in the UK Sensation Z710e ?

T-Mobile is a pretty cool system. When you're at home (or on a WiFi network that doesn't do much filtering), phone calls, SMS, and MMS inbound or outbound route through WiFi instead of the cellular network. I've noticed this has the benefit of improving battery life while on WiFi, as it turns off the WCDMA (3G/4G) radio. It actually seems like it might turn off the cellular radio completely, I'll have to check when I get home.
The one downside is that if you are on the phone and walk away from your WiFi network, it will drop the call. It can't hand off.
I'm not sure if this is common in Europe, but in the states, many wireless carriers offer femtocell units that users can install in their home if they have bad reception. WiFi calling eliminates the need for that.
Wifi calling will notify you of a mms but it will not download the message. At least that's my experience with the G2x.

ah sorry was just going off what I've been told regarding MMS. I actually don't use SMS or MMS, I use google voice for "SMS" purposes and don't have any use for MMS (if someone wants to send me a photo they just email it).
I have an unbranded phone from HK but also have Show Me and Locations. (Maybe the other stuff too - didn't check).

I think it shuts off the radio as well. My buddy had it turned on by accident & was freaking out because he was on wifi & showed no signal bars.

A similar feature to the TMOUS "wifi calling" is offered in the UK by BT Mobile. They call it BT Fusion.
Fem2cell is available here from Vodafone, known as Sure Signal

Good call, I'm gonna need wifi calling at the very least before I'll hop over to an alternate ROM (who am I kidding I'm sure I won't be able to resist). The my account app is handy but it's in the market anyway (there was an update a day or two ago).
When you say Dock Settings is there a separate App/Icon for the EU version or are the settings completely gone from withing the Settings Menu?

Guys, try installing these apk's for loacations . Not sure about last 2, try firs 2 at first, and then add last two if needed. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try
Hi, first time poster here, I have a problem. I am completely unable to send/receive phone calls after I downloaded paranoid android, and I would really like to know how to fix this.
Images are attached, except for 2 of them (size limit)
I would attach a link to the reddit thread I made, but I can't until 10 posts.
What carrier/provider? Verified APNs and you aren't using LTE only data mode?

My provider is Sprint. Not sure about APNs. I am not using LTE only data. Sprint data works, (3G and 4G) and so does WiFi.

For future reference, if you are missing your phone number like that you need to update your profile. The profile contains the programming information for the network, similar to the info that GSM based networks store on the SIM card.
Hey,
for about a month I've been having problems with calls going directly to the voicemail and not reaching me. I use 4g cause 3g has very bad connection where I live.
Now I am almost 100% sure there was a VoLTE option that I could check/uncheck in the mobile network options, but it seems it has disappeared.
Is there a way to disable VoLTE? Cause I read my problem comes from having it enabled, but now that the option is gone, I can't disable.
Phone is European version, I didn't flash anything or so, 100% stock

Anyone, please?

Unfortunately yes, check the attached screenshot please. I checked every option there. I must get rid off this VOLTE somehow, it's making big problems for me.

what's your access point name? have you chosen it to correct carrier? have you recently change carriers, if so that may the the problem not supporting the correct LTE bands for that carrier.

The APN I can only choose one, which is the correct one.
The carrier, there might be something about this. Recently my service provider merged with another, but I can only use one it seems. See the picture attached. Also thanks again .
Edit: When I searched for a carrier manually the first time, there was no 4G E-Plus. There was only 3g. Does this tell us something?
I use FRD-AL10,..Does it support VolTE?
The followong devices have been tested on Verizon in the US:
Xiaomi 11T
Xiaomi 12 global version
Xiaomi 12X global
Working:
5G
VoLTE
SMS both sending and recieving
Phone calls both sending and recieveing
IMPORTANT:
MMS on stock Global/China ROM wont work on anything other then Verizon messages
Verizon Messages - Apps on Google Play
Stay connected using Verizon Messages on your Smartphone, tablet, and PC
play.google.com
Please install and set as the default sms app.
However MMS does not work on mobile data only wi-fi. Luckily there is a way!
Getting MMS on data:
So this gets complicated. The xiaomi phones come with the wrong APN settings. So what needs to be done is copying the APN settings of a known good rooted android.
1. Copy the telephony.db off the good verizon phone
2. Install signal spy on the xiaomi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.novvia.fispy
3. Once thats done find out what the verizon carriee id is, it should be a next to verizon, ie. Verizon(######)
4. Now pull the xiaomi telephony.db off the device
5. Install https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/ on a computer
6. Open up the dbs
7. Now delete in the xiaomi dbs all entries ror LTE - Verizon, delete the rows dont NULL it.
8. Almost done
9. Now in both dbs search carrier: Verizon and numeric: ######
10. From the known good db copy everything except the _id column.
11. Past the data into the xiaomi table from row 0
12. Now delete whatever rows were NOT altered.
13. Now both tables should have the same exact verizon settings except for the _id column
14. Push the telephony.db back onto the xiaomi
15. Reboot
16. Open the dialer
17. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
18. Click phone info1
19. Set prefered network type
20. Select the second to last option NR/LTE/TDCDMA....
21. Turn the radio off and on
22. Reboot
23. Open settings and select the VZWINTERNET as the APN (thank you bjs339)
24. ???
25. Profit
The xiaomi can be unrooted and the telephony.db will survive a reboot and a sim removal.
One thing of note, you may need to enable roaming and 5g for the phone to register properly.
RESETTING APN OR RESETING NETWORK WILL ERASE THIS TABLE.
Other apps will now work for text mms, but will be limited to downloads of 30kbs, uploads are unaffected.
Let me know if you need help or have any questions.
I am so sorry for my terrible spelling.
One thing to add, I couldn't send or receive group text messages with iPhone users until I set the APN. I had to actually go into the settings and select VZWINTERNET. This is on the 12x global.
Interesting, did you have to change any of the other settings or did just selecting the APN fix it for you? Also are you able to recieve mms on data only? Thank you.

Selecting it was all I did. In fact, the other settings are locked down. I think I can get mms on data or wifi if that's what you're asking. And I could message with individual iPhone users prior to making the change, just not groups.

Very odd, yeah I messed with it for hours but had to actually root the phone and adjust the APN settings to get it to work. Hmmm, maybe we have different. Ooooh, are you on the 5G plan? I'm the LTE plan.

Can anyone who has already upgraded a Pixel 6a to A13 tell me if the "Allow 2G" option is still available in Settings-->Networks-->SIMs ?
Some people on twitter are saying that they cannot set 2G as a "preferred" network anymore, not sure what it implies.
The option is still here yes. However, you can't set 2G as the preferred network type.
Try this..
Open Dialer
type :- *#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone info
Select Preferred Network type & Scroll Down & select "GSM Only"
Thank you guys.
Current situation is bizarre for me. I need 2G working for voice only. My carrier is switching 3G off, and I cannot have VoLTE working (despite the corresponding option being enabled and carrier saying that it should work). Currently, when I make a phone call, the 4G data connection gets disabled and voice travels over 3G or 2G. When the phone call is over, 4G data connection gets back on. Since 3G is being switched off, if 2G suddenly became totally unavailable, I simply couldn't make phone calls anymore.

I believe you can get a number with Google Voice, and call thru the app. I haven't used it in a while tho.

I used "Toggle Network Type" app on earlier android, but not it can't set 2G as preferred type anymore.

Not sure if you have tried enabling this option in the SIM settings (something to do with the Tensor Security settings as Google deem 2G to be less secure.

I didn't, because I don't have it. I'm actually on a different phone and rom, and just trying to find a workaround, this is the closest thread to my problem that I found on xda.
