Hello, could any lucky owner of Huawei Mate 9 confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you.
Mate 9 is very interesting device regarding mobile LTE band support and speed

The Kirin 960 includes a brand new HiSilicon LTE UE Category 12/13 modem that achieves speeds of up to 600 Mbps on the downlink and 150 Mbps on the uplink (2x20MHz carrier aggregation with 64-QAM). This new modem, which drops HiSilicon’s ‘Balong' branding, supports up to 8 data streams on the downlink using a combination of quad carrier aggregation (4x CA) and 4x4 MIMO (only for 2x CA). It also supports up to 256-QAM but not on all 8 streams. This gives it some flexibility in how it achieves its maximum throughput: (2x20MHz CA + 4x4 MIMO at 64-QAM) or (4x20MHz CA + 2x2 MIMO at 64-QAM).

Thank you very much.
It seems with new cellular modem Huawei has implemented RIL properly. Good device for travelling and cellmapping.
Not having VOLTE is quiet an annoyance when you have been using it previously on other handsets.
what are the specifics regarding enabling volte by both carieer and manufacterer?
what information do they need to enable the service?
Manufacturers have to include the proper configuration for VoLTE/VoWifi in their devices, e.g. ISM, Gateways, etc.
VoLTE/VoWifi has to be configured a little different than the usual VoIP like e.g. SIP.
The GSM Association has a Device Settings Database (where telco's can provide the needed information for handset manufacturers/OEMs), into slides can be found here: www gsma com/futurenetworks/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Device_Settings_Database.pdf (insert dots after www and before com)
Sadly, I guess the database is for registered vendors/telcos only..

is it the responsibility of the MNO to liaison with the phone manufacturer to provide the VOLTE / VOWIFI settings? (or atleast make available) and thus the manufacturer would update the settings via an update?
is it possible to get the settings manually via a device that already has volte?
what im trying to figure out is this
i have two phones. a huawei p20 and a oneplus 6
they both support the same bands so no issues there
volte works on my p20 and not my oneplus 6 - this is confusing.
my operator clearly favors huawei (as they sell it in store) so they provide the required information (or do they add configuration to the network) to get the volte working
my p20 was not purchased via my telco so there is no telco based firmware required to get it working.
if possible can we pull the information required from the phone / telco and make available for others to enable VOLTE?
From what I think I read: MNOs: At least the three big players here in Germany whitelisted tested handsets until about beginning of 2017 - then I guess they decided they tested their networks enough and now you can read on their pages that it's (solely?) the OEMs part of work to include the correct config tu support VoLTE/Wifi in their Firmware (e.g. Android release).
In principle, the MNOs should send the needed details how to configure for VoLTE/VoWifi to GSMAs database, where the phone manufacturers could access it to implement in their phones - so there's no contact between MNO and phone OEM necessary at all.
Of course, if a MNO sells a branded phone, they make sure that phone had that specific MNOs VoLTW/VoWifi settings embeded (and maybe ONLY for that MNO ) .
Maybe if we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 based phone we'd be able to copy the configs for other providers. Seems the OP6 currently (5.1.8) has these configs included:

The files seem to have a digital signature, so it's unlikely that we'd be able to edit them, even if we would just know the correct parameters. Also, not everything is for VoLTE/Wifi.

It seems my network three uk is included, however VOLTE doesn't work for me.
See my last sentence in my last post
Those modem configs seem to include seperate config files for selecting the correct bands, etc.
I'd guess that mostly the directory entries with "volte" contain VoLTE settings

Hey mate, can you upload your p20 mbn files?
I need specifcally bouygues .
If you guys need, I have pixel 3(snapdragon 845 as well) and i can upload all my mbn files for reference?
Hi,
Looking for a ROM patch to have better carrier capability with carrier Telstra Australia telco so advanced 4G capabilities can be used on this network.
Goals are...
- VoLTE Compatibility
- VoWifi Enablement
- High Speed 4GX services
Let me know what you need. I can test on a 5T. Friends can test on a 6.
Unlikely unless Telstra supports it directly (which they don't)… So don't get your hopes up!
Hello! I'm living in China. Of cause it's cannot use Volte in China carriers. I want to add support for Chinese carriers. I know the ChinaTelecom IMS configuration is same as KDDI of Japan. Can I copy the KDDI IMS files to the directory of ChinaTelecom for support Volte?
Thanks.
Best Regards.
TL;DR: Could you check with AIDA64 if your phone support Wi-Fi Aware and report the result here?
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a list of the Android devices compatible with Wi-Fi Aware.To this date, the Pixel 3/3XL and the Galaxy Note 10/10+ are the only certified smartphones for Wi-Fi Aware. Oddly enough, none of them actually advertise that they support it on their storage page.I discovered that some other devices, like the Pixel 2 or Xiaomi Mi 8 and Pocophone are compatible with this technology but do not advertise their compatibility as well.
In a nutshell, I have no way to know which phones are compatible without getting my hand on them.
For this, I would like to request you to check if your phone is compatible with this technology. You must have Android 8 or more to have support for Wi-Fi Aware. If you match this requirement, you can know if your phone support Wi-Fi Aware by using the application AIDA64, which provide multiple specifications of your phone. The information can be find in the Network page, in Wi-Fi category. It requires to have the Wi-Fi switched on in order to test the API access.
Whether your phone support or not the technology, please report the result here, alongside with your phone model.You can report the result the way you want, screenshot, text. I will then add your phone capability to this list (That I cannot link yet because of this forum restriction...)
I am currently especially focused on smartphone having Snapdragon 845 or Snapdragon 855 processors
