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 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 ?

Well, unfortunately, T-Mobile carrier WiFI calling is not present in the official 6.0 release today. I was really hoping it would be as we could see the option in preview 3.
Anybody have any further information regarding the possibility of T-mobile Carrier WiFi Calling on the N5 ?
Any Sprint users by some far, far, far out chance have Sprint Carrier WiFi Calling after the 6.0 flash ? :silly:

Enough M threads already..

That option was there before in the M previews, as I stated above, and it still cannot be enabled.

I have a feeling I know the answer to this, but is there any way to enable VoLTE on the unlocked version, notably on the Rogers network in Canada?
Thanks

Only if you have a 4G sim card and your network provider support this on your tariff

Ok thanks. That would be a yes on all of those (as it worked on my GS7 quite well) so is it just an option in the settings? If so I can't find it..?

Settings-->More-->Mobile network-->VoLTE calls. Enable that. If LTE stays connected when making a call you have VoLTE.

Thanks but that's what I originally feared: there is no VoLTE option anywhere in there..? I had done a search too and nothing pops up.
Rummaging through the internet, I found an article saying the unlocked version (mine) would NOT have VoLTE. No sure how accurate that was.

Are you connected to Wind by any chance? I don't think that network has volte yet. I think Rogers purchased them.
No, I'm on Rogers and I can confirm I had VoLTE before on my Galaxy S7, so it's neither the network or my account the issue.

Very weird. Maybe ask your carrier to check provisioning for your device. What bands does your carrier use for VoLTE?
it should be supported bu carrier it self , not only the phone ! check with them !
Well after some investigating, I have an answer: Rogers only support VoLTE on Apple, LG and Samsung devices...
This is really unfortunate but it's one last thing missing from the Honor 8 to make it my daily driver. It's an excellent device and I was very impressed for the price tag, but not having wireless charging, VoLTE and 4k video made me realize how much I actually use it.
Thanks for the help guys!

Just got the Android 9/Fun Touch 4.5 upgrade today. Does not look much different, but did seem to lose the LTE icon in the notification bar (verified it is on LTE, just shows "4G+").

Chinese version. I am pretty sure it is just the icon missing. It does show either "4G" or "4G+" , and when I do a speed test it does seem to still be LTE speeds. Also, when I checked SIM status, it does say Network Type LTE or LTE_CA.

I recall on other phones, notably the Nexus 4, that LTE could be enabled via a modded Kernel or Radio IMG(can't recall). What are the chances that this mod would be possible on the Nord as well? Has anyone already looked into it?

I've done zero modding to my device and have consistently gotten 5G on Google Fi in the US.

No, you likely haven't, it just SAYS 5g on the bar which I suspect is a bug.
If you actually run a network tool, you'll see you are only on Band4. The Nord doesn't have official support for the T-Mobile bands the US uses for 5G. I see the same thing and I'm on Mint which is just re-sold T-Mobile.
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?

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
