Network mode settings

I have noticed there is no 4G ONLY (LTE ONLY) in the network mode setting for this phone SM-A530F/ DS either for OREO or PIE
I am wondering if it's due to the hardware part not compatible ? or the android version that doesn't support that Option ?
any information about that please ?

Interesting.. I checked few phones and indeed none of them have 4G/LTE only option. 3G only is there though... All phones are on Oreo and Pie (Samsung, Huawei, Alcatel).

Yes it is, I explained for better understanding
but that doesn't answer my question actually, do you have any ideas ?

yes ineed, so as longer we are talking about other brands as well, i guess it's not a hardware thing, could it be related to the os version oreo and pie maybe ?

Volte & 5G Activated on Android 12 Beta

Hello guys,
Finally the good news (at least for us in Saudi Arabia) Google has activated Volte & 5G on the latest Android 12 beta (May.2021)
But i am still waiting for the Vowifi activation
If anyone living in different countries can confirm as well
Thanks.
Update: in Android 12 beta 2 it was disabled again
What a stupid decision making

Good news bro

No change in Belgium (Orange, Proximus) with A12 Beta 1 , no VoLTE, no VoWifi

Same for Portugal(NOS) even on Beta 1 VoWiFi and VoLTE remains locked

VoLTE working here on 3 Austria too, don't have 5G enabled on my plan anymore so can't comment on that.

No luck with kuwait Stc

Anyone tested this in Hong Kong yet?

Is it still working after beta 2 update?

Anyone for uae ?

VoLTE & VoWiFi in Poland still blocked. Tested on Polkomtel and T-Mobile carriers.
It didn't work in Android 11 too...

The same for Orange BE, Proximus: VoLTE & VoWifi not working (A11, A12B2)
And we are in 2nd half of 2021..

I guess if Android 12 does not have the voiceover LTE then moving to root is the only option we all are left with. I am going for iphone anyways once it is confirmed that a basic feature of voice over LTE still does not exist after Android 12. Google pixel has been a terrible experience in advance times.

So there is a July security update which has a voice over LTE support for certain networks. Definitely not Middle East because I tried still not working I think it's just for some USA carriers

I enrolled in beta and on 2.1. Well the request still goes to deaf ears for Google.

Sorry on beta 3 but still no volte. Makes it clear that it's time to move to custom ROM and make the most of use of this phone now.

did you find any custom rom with volte working for you ?

No but I am currently up to two things.
First is that I am on the process of selling this phone on a local classified online.
Second is to check by rooting the phone.

I don't think any of the custom rom supports voiceover LTE by default. You really have to use the magisk by rooting the phone.

Pixel 5 will be totally last Google phone which I bought.
Official build of Android 12 comes this morning to my device, 5G, VoLTE, VoWIFI all these features still LOCKED!
Google is not a company which I can trust anymore.

Question Whats the best Variant for US

Whats the best OTA to install using the OnePlus 9 in America?
Im on the LE2110DA version. Is that as good as its gonna get? Running Omega Kernal?

Check your telegram

Question is so which OTA is Tmobile if I wanna use that. Because my Google FI runs on Tmobile. Misewell try that variant right?

If you read up youll see lol.
LE2110 DA 11.2.8.8
Also using the wonderful Omega Kernal.

Forgive my knowledge but which variant is le2110DA? If its oneplus 9 5g, omega kernel works? I thought omega kernel js only for the pro variant.

Best one for North America would be the LE2115. LE2110 is the China variant which is missing some 4G/5G bands used in NA.

I got 5G, im just wondering if the OTA versions make a difference.
Yes its the Unlocked Chinese Version. LE2110.
So is there a difference between AA, BA and DA as far a cell quality?

Software doesn't give you access to additional bands. You might have SA41 (tmo) but more likely you are just on b2/66 and tmo just gives you the 5G icon. Check with cellmapper to be sure. Your best bet is to get rid of the 2110 and get an actual US device if you want proper 5g

I was thinking the same thing about the 5G icon. It goes from LTE to 5G sometimes.
My speeds are about 50-60mbps when im not connected to wifi. You guys think thats pretty fair and decent?

avid_droid said:
For me, Tmo has had the least of issues. No data or calling issues. No Bluetooth issues such as robot voices on car stereo and better distance outside of vehicle. No odd hiccups.
Although people are mislead with T-Mobiles update numbers not matching,they're actually the same. 11.2.8.8 for AA,DA,BA will be realeased on TMobile as 11.2.6.6. it's the same patches and iterations.
Looking forward to either Monday or Tuesday to getting my new op9.
Selling my imac tomorrow and will not be getting a computer for awhile as I'm tired of either breaking phones or bricking them.

My first oneplus arrives tomorrow, so it's safe to say I should flash the t-mobile rom over my unlocked vanilla rom? I do live in an area where t-mobile isn't the strong hence why I dumped my verizon s21 ultra for something where I can easily control options down to the service menu etc. Funny I tested my non branded moto g and had less call drops with a tmobile sim than I did with my verizon unlocked s21 with the tmb sim.

No, don't flash the t-mo rom over anything lol. If you are on tmobile and ordered a LE2115/2125 just don't mess with it unless installing a custom rom.

Okay sounds good. I had just read above that someone said the tmobile firmware was less buggy than the unlocked version but maybe those issues have been worked out I guess.

That's more like 4G speed. 5G speed would be more than double that. But again, it depends on the area you're in and the coverage for your carrier.

avid_droid said:
No I didn't say that. It's meant if converting from Tmo to Global roms. If you are on Global stay there.

ahhhh okay sounds good. thanks again

Does anyone have the latest T-Mo modem files? I'm currently on the Europe 11.2.8.8 image but I've been having radio problems since I moved off of the T-Mo base (started with 11.2.4.4 global). I'm getting bad call quality, Wifi and BT issues, and seeming slow data.
I'd like to try flashing the modem files first before redoing the whole thing with MSM.
One other thing - going back to a T-Mo load with MSM won't SIM relock my phone, will it?
Thanks!

Use the Omega Kernal.
But as far as the best Variant. I've been on all of them AA, BA(which your on now) and DA. I think they are all the same besides the DA runs the smoothest out of all the variants

What would Omega kernel do for me? And as that one in the Pro forum?
I've downloaded bluspark, but haven't used it yet. Only stock kernel

Bro Omega kernal is off the chain. So much battery life. Not sure as far for connection. And yeah 9 and 9 Pro are universal.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Do I install it thru TWRP? I've used Elemental X for so long not sure how other kernels work.

I use EX Kernal Manager

Verizon 5G

Can't seem to find any A12 ROMs that support 5G on Verizon. Anybody know if any, or a way to enable it?

CherishOS 3.8 works great for me on Verizon 5g. I tried others but this one gets full data speeds and it's android 12. Pretty much any a12 rom works with verizon 5g though if you want to tinker.

Tried to tinker with Cherish, but couldn't even get LTE. I obviously didn't tinker right. I did notice that current Nameless fully works right out of the box. Sure wish others did as well...

Question TMobile (USA) network speed

I don't see 5G icon. But we got LTE+ on TMobile (usa) (VoLTE pre activated)
Download speed is fantastic. Upload is not

has anyone tried to unlock more bands?
following something like https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...device-use-your-phone-globally-no-bs.2871269/

It is at the standard of the H.W not the S.W.

The same questions were asked of the 10 ultra. Some said hard, some software but no one posted any success in opening more bands.

Reasonable question man, those replies suck. It has the same modem as the iPhone 13, it's a Snapdragon X65 5G so technically you should be able to. If not in NV, you could in software programming tool of Qualcomm, might have to be the newest software though. If you could identify the modem chip number in a teardown video possibly we could find the product model number and see if it's a hardware limited or base chip limited by firmware.

That makes sense. Back in the day, I had a Zuk Z2 Pro and it worked but haven't had a phone with a snapdragon since.
Thanks Jdorman12 for replying with actual words, not a single emoji
If I end up getting a 12S, I will give it a try
