The company OnePlus should finally take care of the full support of VoLTE and WiFiCall at the three major German providers (Telekom, Vodafone, o2). So far even the flagships do not support any of these technologies, although on the hardware side all prerequisites exist and the technology is also advertised in Germany in the hardware specifications.
Explanation
OnePlus has developed the OnePlus 6, a very competitive product that does not support the simplest communication technologies, at least in Germany.
These would be VoLTE and WiFiCall. In India, these technologies are supported. In Germany, with identical hardware, but not. This is due to the reluctance of Oneplus to implement the techniques correctly and completely.
Important are the mentioned technologies for users with little to no reception in the 2G and / or 3G network. Telephone calls could be transmitted over the LTE network, or WLAN. However, this is not possible because of OnePlus itself.
Inquiries concerning this problem are answered via ChatBot, with the immediate answer that there is no agreement with e.g. the telecom would exist.

It does not work. Over 500 supporters who tested and reported it is not working. As the text says: the technical infrastructure is there, but does not work.
Dont working for me with Telekom.
Even if both, the device and the carrier, support VoLTE or VoWIFI, it doesn't necessarily work. Usually a carrier firmware is needed. Some carriers offer VoLTE only to phones sold by them. For example, I'm in UK and on EE. Beside my OnePlus 6 I have an unlocked Galaxy S8. In order to have VoLTE on my S8 I had to flash an EE branded firmware.
All in all, this petition should include those carriers too and not just OnePlus.

Its not like that anymore. Xiaomi is not even sold officially by Telekom, o2 or Vodafone in Germany and still they have these features.
Oneplus just needs to implement it, but they don't.
Edit: 553 signatures and counting...this is a serious problem.

Its a dummy for an unsupported feature.
maybe everyone should check these paths with a (root) file explorer:
data/vendor/radio/modem_config/mcfg_sw/
firmware/image/modem_pr
read file "mbn_sw.txt" it's a kind of listing for the deeper paths.
in my opinion you could check if your COUNTRY/CARRIER combo is the lucky one....just check the china path... VOLTE voila!
.../generic/eu.. does have data for "ee" "elisa" "telefoni" "h3g" "telia"....but not for every country...
could anyone in here confirm that O2 / UK give your OP6 VOLTE super powers? anyone from great britain here....

Just checked on mine (German). In this file there are these paths yes, but in my version there is "china" alsways the "volte" term in the path.
With all eu carriers there is no term "volte" in the path... might not play a role, but at least it's a difference in the wording....

I've managed to get vowifi and volte working with the VoEnabler module for magisk. Everything works surprisingly, but for some reason my phone won't recognise incoming phone numbers properly when on these services, resulting in unknown/private number.
I have a feeling its something to do with the radio modem files that you've linked, but no luck so far. If I manage to get it working I'll follow up.
It's annoying as Huawei and xiaomi phones have over 100 entries in their mbn_sw.txt file, whereas oneplus has only a dozen or so... Ive come to the conclusion that, in the UK anyway, the phone manufacture has more to do with this than the carrier..
Sorry for the formatting, at work on mobile
Hello XDAers .. anyone knows wich model numer is the Honor 6X Global version..? also anyone knows where to find a Global ROM for 6x..? Can it be debranded to Global..? The oeminfo file can be downloaded..? I don´t need NFCs so thos rom can be perfect for me... Any help please..? Thanks in advance and best regards.
Honestly i never saw a build for Honor 6X marked as "global", nor I've read about it here on XDA. Every build is region-specific, so i suppose that the best way to achieve what you want is to flash a stock AOSP GSI, Phh-Treble builds for being accurate. You'd need an unlocked bootloader in way to do everything, though.

Thanks so much for answering... I was asking because i have tried 2 different roms (debranding using shashank1320 guides) and they have not fullfilled my needs.. then, just googleing, found Honor 6xes for sale on china stores like gearbest and those alike claiming to be " global " versions.. then I thought in the posibility of finding one of those ROMS on the web.. (nowadays i keep searching...) The point is.. i read users post saying they do debranding to 6X but the won´t flash this or that other rom because they don´t wanna lose 4G bands.. so it came to my mind that is a real thing that bands and frecuencies on 6x are limited by regions and software... and going from that maybe and just maybe i was going to be able to sove my need... and that need is the activation and use of the 3G Band on 900 MHz and or the 4G Band on 1800 MHz.. as the users say all hardware on 6x is the same.. changing on software for different regions... Well i´m about to give up because after 2 rebrandings of my L24 variant i´m unable to use those bands so i´m stucked on 2G extra slow internet conection... (can only use whatsapp for texting, and sometimes facebook mesenger) ... I was hoping also some guru tells me " Oh thats is achievable on the 6x if you root it an edit this file.. or that file.." but no i´m not that lucky... So any help here will be very apreciated.. even an advice telling me to stop because that is completely impossible... Thanks in advance for any consideration regarding this issue..
There will never be a global ROM man, you can be sure of this since that official software support for Honor 6X has ended almost a year ago. About what other users are saying i can't say the same, i'm on a GSI actually and my 4G bands works just as they should. I own an European 6X rebranded to India variant and i never had problems with bands. The faster and better way to take away the doubt however is to try by yourself. Yes, the hardware is the same (except for the presence of the NFC chip not included in all variants, but it's okay since that you don't care about this), based on Hi6250 architecture.
About your last sentence, i'm not aware of strings to add to build.prop in way to amplify or remove bands signal also because probably that depends by the device and the SIM of your provider. I helped you as i could: trying by yourself without waiting for a "guru" to come is faster than keep waiting, don't you think?

Thanks a million for your answer... i did the debranding first to india rom L22, did not work.. the did it for european rom L21 and it was the same.. no 3g nor 4g... so now goign back to original L24 configuration... but thanks anyway.. some friend in US that worked for Honor/huawei told me that models made for USA market does not have 3G 900 MHz and 4G 1800 MHz bansd since are not in use in that country.. so i think that 6x and other models of different brands made for that market have different hardware configuration... saldy i give up.. mostly because i fear to hard brick the phone leaving it unusable and thats the last thign i want beacuse i really like this phone.. .. . if i manage to get another phone (i like and i want a P20 Lite) then i will keep trying with other roms on the 6x... thanks a million and if this serves you i tell you that you have a new friend in Cuba... Best regards...
Many people debranded their L24 to L22, so it's not impossible but indeed your friend is right about the bands: those vary with regions, so if your L24 doesn't have the bands that your SIM requires then there will never be a way to install them after market. Another Huawei device?! You can do whatever you want obviously but if you're custom ROM/GSI oriented, just don't. Other brands offers great quality/price hardware and overall, they're third-party friendly.
Nice to have contacts in Cuba anyway best regards to you, see ya!

Hi All,
Pardon if this has already been asked but I cannot find a similar topic specific to the question below. There is a lot of development around this phone and I would like to get back onto a phone similar to this.
Can any Oneplus 7 Pro phone be used on the Sprint network or is there a specific submodel that needs to be purchased?
There does not appear to be this phone or the 5g version being sold anywhere I look (GM1917 and GM1925). I am specifically looking for a phone that has 8+ GB of ram, 8xx snapdragon chipset (66x+ chpset) and decent custom roms available. There appears to be the T-Mobile Mclaren edition (HD1925) but again, this phone is a different model and is technically a different subforum. Either way, the question above is the simple question I am looking to be answered.
Thanks all for the support!
The Sprint version would probably be best.
Sent from my OnePlus 7 Pro using XDA Labs
Thank you for the reply. The issue is (and why I am posting about it) is that I cannot find the sprint specific phones online. Calling up the local Sprint store, they say have one in stock. I have the S10 and have little motivation to dump more money in a new phone. I was wondering if a generic unlocked phone can work. It does not appear that many people have the answer though.
Hey guys
i live in switzerland and now i got my hands on a pixel 5. Now I had to find out that Google is doing something stupid and certifies mobile operators for 5G.
Swisscom apparently has no certification, but 5G runs and works flawlessly with the Mi 10 Pro.
Is there any way to turn off this junk so that 5G simply works with every provider?
Thanks for your help
Are you using DualSim? I've read somewhere that in this case 5G is off
Gesendet von meinem CMR-AL09 mit Tapatalk
No im not using dualsim. Even on Network search no 5g network is found ?
It's Google's fault, indeed, I can't use 5G in Romania either. I'm waiting for a while, maybe they'll just allow us, from the countries where they don't sell official their phone, to use the full capabilities.
If they don't I'll just root and I'll do it myself, but I think Google will eventually unlock the 5G connectivity, it's hurting their "official" customers by not being able to roam on 5G or use their phone with a local sim when needed.

It's a similar problem on OnePlus 8, I think. We need to edit a file, carrier policy, and the phone will then allow 5G connections. The problem here is that on OnePlus you can retrieve the file from the phone without root, with a Qualcomm software, and then put it back, edited, with the same software. On Pixel that program isn't working so I assume the only way to access and edit that file is by rooting.
I don't want to root yet, I'm waiting a while. First of all to find out an official answer about the software shipped with the phones in Europe, a presumably KDDI Japan version and second, to see if Google doesn't fix the problem, since there are way too many people affected.
I'm from mainland China. I've ordered a Pixel 5 and just realized that it doesn't support 5g in my country! What a shame Google permit 5g for only specific carriers and block out others, while the hardware of P5 is 100% capable for supporting almost every carriers around the world!
Wondering if Google can see this post and fix that problem via ota.
emmm

Thx. Maybe I'll post there.
Same problem here in the MENA region. Same with oneplus 8 series and Nord. I have a 5G sim and carrier but with these phones including Pixel 5 it's blocked. I don't want to root. It's really stupid even VoLTE is blocked here. (Kuwait)

I think you're %100 correct on this.
Any news after the update? I returned my Pixel for the gap issue but I am interested to see if there are any changes regarding the 5G locked issue...
Got the November update and no 5G yet
I just switched over to esim today with tmobile unrooted, stock, and November patch. It shows 5g in the status bar.
BUT, under wifi and network in settings , there is no 5g where *lte 3g 2g* are.
I guess the above poster is right

Edit. I live on the east coast of PA usa and earlier this was the case.. I just checked again, I have 5g as an option. FYI anyway.
Here Italy, i ordered it from Gemran store hoping to have compatibility with vodafone since vodafone DE has already certification to work with 5G network but still nothing, i tried to flash the RD1A.201105.003.C1, Nov 2020 that is global but no working 5g connection.
I hope in a future update because my sim in OnePlus nord work well in 5g and i get about 400Mb speed that is amazing in italy, with 4g i get 130Mb.
Contacted vodafone support and they said it's a phone problem so I think maybe with december update Google wil resolve (ps in software i have the option to select 5g preferred network but never get attached to 5G where the OnePlus Nord get 5G)
I added root to my device, how can I enable 5g now.. I actually added root just to test 5g
December update still no 5g.
Google recently updated its support page about 5G network compatibility to explicitly state that 5G will work only on carriers that Google enabled it.
At this time, unlisted countries have no selected 5G carrier networks that work with Pixel phones.

I am not that tech savvy, and have been having trouble getting calls on this A53 5G that I recently purchased off eBay....
Do you know if all A53 5G's have VoLTE support? I need VoLTE enabled for T-Mobile. I can only get calls when I select 3g/2g, which is no good since T-Mobile is shutting that off. When I have selected 5g/4g/3g/2g or 4g/3g/2g I can only make calls and not receive them. A circle with a backslash shows up at the signal bars icon.
Would someone be able to explain how to enable it please?
I do not have the option through Mobile Networks.
I tried to use that samsungband app, but there was no option there either.
I tried to use the *#9090# code too, and then I see what I attached in the images.
Then I don't know what to do further.
I assumed that it does support VoLTE based on Samsung's website, but I have a global version. I think it's from Taiwan.

Thank you for any time and help.
I think I'll be returning the phone, but if somehow I can get it to work...that would be great.
It does have volte yes. About phone > status > sim > mobile voice network type is listed as lte (which equals volte).
I'm aware some are having phone related issues supposedly with the July update. It you don't yet have the July update then it just some people have that issue then for whatever reason lol. Maybe its some sort of settings combination bug but its difficult to say.
I have seen the bars disappear but come back on display wake. But that's the extent of anything there. I receive calls just fine. Haven't updated to July update as of yet though.
Thank you, sansofmyst, for your reply.
I did go through with the July 1 update once I got the phone, but I never tested it out before making that update....
Do you know what this security update is...is the update from Samsung...is there a website that says they know there is a problem and will fix it?

You can look up the update info from browsing to settings > software update > last update. That also includes a link to Samsung's update database where on Google you can use "site:" on it and ie A53 and see when all models are getting updates and their info, etc.
The updates are pulled in relation to the sim card carrier. So if you had a different carrier then it gets pulled in relation to that carrier. Its kind of weird that way with unlocked models and Samsung
So, editing as I looked into that further. The carriers do their own locked models. Samsung does the updates on unlocked but in relation to the carriers which is opposite of what one expects. Custom rom works around that where possible.
[Discussion] OTA updates for factory unlocked phones are dependent on carrier
I bought factory unlocked S9+ (SM-G965U1) phone a year ago. I always thought that software updates for unlocked phones are independent of carrier, and this was one of the advantages of owning one. However, after Pie update I was stuck with...

The reports for July and A53 are scattered around. Other Samsung phones with July update also had similar if not the same issue with fixes expected in Aug update. You could ask Samsung directly. I don't know anything further.

Thank you so so much!!!!!
Hello, im using a5360 bri Taiwan edition and it was july security patch that broke phone calls for me on Tmobile. Thankfully August security patch has fixed the issue. Im able to make phone calls and receive them on 4glte with hd voice. Haven't found the option to switch volte on or off. I will check the forums from now on, for future security updates or os upgrades with issues before installing. Have a good day or night. <;
Thank you so much for your help and suggestions about checking feedback for updates! Do you mean the xda forums?
Thanks for confirming what I thought was one of the issues since one of the Samsung representatives mentioned possible issue with update, but for other phones...and that they did not have a date for the fix at the time.
I did not get to try the new update since it was unavailable before my product return date. Sigh, so I returned it before it was too late. I got the USA version with lower ram and memory =/ It still said volte weak cell signal when using that code, but it works on 5g and call this USA version.
I mean Samsung and xda forums or any that discuss the a53 specifically.
I haven't checked that code. I get 5g almost everywhere in h-town. Now im seeing that more consistently after the update. I turn that off on the go though to gain some extra battery life. 4glte works well enough 3 to 5 bars everywhere too.
i thought about getting the unlocked US version cause of the issue too. Recent flaships start with 8gigs ram. thats my logic for getting this model and i haven't been able to fill it completely yet based on my usage no social media or gaming. Everything else i use.
Once software support 4yrs os and 5yrs security is done. I'll consider another upgrade. next patch if i see an issue on any forums with network or phone calls, I'll leave it alone. Im in awe how smooth this phone performs. upgraded from note 3 tmobile edition. Only issue for myself was the broken phone calls.
