I swear I was always getting 5G UC on the pixel 6. I seem to be stuck at regular 5G on the p7p. I cant find an option to play with APN either.

Google Fi Pixel (& Nexus 6P) carrier change "cannot override carrier" error.
Hello, XDA.
I have a few old OG Pixel and Nexus 6P phones and have noticed that some do not allow carrier changes for Google Fi, using dial codes from both the "Signal Spy" app and from using dial codes manually.
I was wondering what could be causing this error, especially when I only saw a couple of Pixels with the issue and then all of a sudden, one of the 6Ps I have stopped allowing carrier swap, when it had worked flawlessly before with zero changes (ALL phones are unlocked, rooted, and running Android N 7.1.2 (all requirements for my current project with them)).
I have tried using the FIXME- *#*#344963#*#* code and it will say successful but doesn't fix the issue, tried resetting mobile network, reset Fi app, and even factory reset on one but still the same.
The first time the phone will fail it will almost freeze up a little bit upon entering the dial code and then take like 1-2 minutes and then just pop up with the "cannot override carrier" error and then every time attempting after, it will freeze for just a second or two upon entering the dial code for US Cellular or Sprint (default is T-Mobile).
Definitely hitting a wall as to why this could be happening or how to resolve so if ANYONE has any input or even an idea worth trying, I would greatly appreciate it.
Cannot Override Carrier.
Any ideas would be great, thank you!
Bump.
Bump. Still trying to understand why/how.
FWIW, i'm having the same issue on my Moto G5 Plus. I've been talking to Project Fi support at Google and their help is useless so far. If I can't get this fixed, i'm dropping Google Fi, my whole point in buying a Google Fi sim card was to try and get more reliable service than what I already had with AT&T and it's actually worse without carrier switching working, it seems i'm stuck on Tmobile.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, this error indicates your device does not allow carrier switching or support carrier switching with Google fi.
I recently purchased the new moto g power unlocked through best buy to use on verizon. It comes stocked with android 10, and uses only the google software for its apps, just like the pixel phones (google phone, google messages, and google photos etc.). I found in the messages app that I can turn on wifi sending/receiving, but the google phone app doesn't have a wifi calling setting.
I thought maybe if I put verizon firmware on it, the wifi calling settings would be available. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
Wondering the same thing but research leaves to believe no
Hi all,
Just like the title says, my Pixel 4a doesn't allow hotspot. It says "To use Mobile Hotspot, please call customer service to subscribe." But if I put the SIM into my G6, it works fine. Bought the phone from Google. My service is Verizon. I have the grandfathered unlimited data. Any suggestions? I was thinking of getting a new SIM card and seeing if that does the trick, but concerned that it may block the hotspot on my G6.
Found the answer to my problem. If you by chance checked the box to allow Verizon to manage your phone, you may need to reinstall Android and start over without that part selected. It's finally working.

Hi all,
I've been trying to get family link working as my daughter uses this tablet. When trying to add her account the setup gets stuck in an endless loop never competing. Having read various threads from other devices, I think it's probably something to do with play services not having certain permissions. I would consider unlocking, installing twrp, magisk etc if required to fix, but I don't want to loose widevine.
The long and short is I can't use her account on the device at all as she's part of the family group - her account won't work at all without family link.
I wondered if anyone here had either tried this, or come across other odd behaviours relating to play services?
I'm running the Chinese ROM ziu 13.
Appreciate any thoughts.
Cheers Matt
Few things I have tried (and eventually got it to work) across 2x Lenovo P11 Plus (J616F)'s:
1st one was a factory reset and then instead of using my home WiFi, setup the device using a 4G hotspot from my phone. (Not a clue why, but my Home Wifi (Unifi Access Points) takes upwards of 2 minutes to get internet with the Lenovo's, even though all other devices are fine).
Second method:
factory reset and setup the device as "Offline" (i.e. dont input any WiFi details, button down bottom right saying "Setup as Offline")
Once gone through initial steps, connect to your WiFi, give it 10 minutes to update a few bits.
Open Play Store (DO NOT SIGN IN!), and press the three dots at the top right and goto updates
Let the device update all apps
When complete, try adding the childs Google Account (again, if this fails, try using a 4G hotspot from another device (disabling Wifi on that device first))
Hope that helps
Ok, that sounds pretty strange but I might give it a go. I just set her up a new Google account as nothing I could do could get the old one logged in. Thanks for your advice.
I suspect your unifi is running a shared ssid and your 5ghz is on an inaccessible band, are you always connecting at 2.4ghz? I had to change the 5g band on mine to even see it!

Only have my 5Ghz on normal bands (i.e. non DFS), even tried a separate 2.4Ghz Guest network, disabled WPA3, all to no avail. Not got a clue what caused it, my ISP doesn't block anything either (Zen UK)
Any other device was fine over WiFi (have setup much older Samsung tablets, newer kids phones) all with Family Link, it was just the Lenovo's that was stuck in a loop saying I needed to remove and re-add the account.
Just couldn't figure it out, and had already spent a few hours trying. Hoped the newest firmware would fix, but that didn't help either.
Hope it helps and good luck
Just playing around on the tablet and it appears that it struggles with IPv6 - could be that my hotspot is IPv4 only. Could be related to the loop it gets stuck in?
Not sure why it doesn't like IPv6 though as all other devices are fine with it...
I've just gone through full reset, then tried using 4g hotspot as you suggested. I have to use Lenovo app centre to get play store, then use play store with no login to update. That all works fine. Then add my daughters account. Then I get stuck in the same loop of not being able to register the device with family link.
In my case, I don't think this relates to internet access, I think there's something going wrong with the software / permissions on the device. It's genuinely very frustrating as I imagine it's probably not terribly difficult for the Lenovo Devs to fix.
Hi all
I have an old p20 pro with emui 12. I have managed to get the wireless android auto working using Google searches, but for some reason I can't get the data to run off my data

I have read up to change the WiFi details of the head unit (eonon) that I am tethered from, by doing proxy stuff but really don't understand?
I have the same problem. I was able to use wirelessAA with my huawei p20 pro phone with developer settings. However, since the phone is connected to the vehicle's wifi network, it does not use mobile data. For this reason, I cannot use any online application, including maps. I read in the network settings of the tool that it is necessary to write a fake proxy manually, I typed something randomly on this screen, but without success. Any ideas on what I should do about this?
