I'm sure the question will get brought up......
The answer is yes! This phone works perfect on Verizon. Lte , calls, mms all work flawlessly. You must already have a active micro SIM and just swap it from previous phone to the NEX
This is only for the s (sd845 processor) variant that supports the bands of cdma and lte.

I think VOLTE is like T-Mobile's band 12, 700Mhz concrete break through band. The phone has to be authorized by the provider for the service to work.
I believe you. No need to lie about something like this. No need for pic, but you can post it for those with doubt.
Here's a pic

I can't remember if the Service Dialer code *#*#4636#*#* works on the NEX.
If it's capable,you should be able to see if the toggles for VoLTE & Vo WI-FI are accessible (not greyed-out).
Just curious,as neither are available on the NEXs' cousin,the Find X.

3 questions
1. Is your Vivo Nex the 8gb ram version or the 6gb ram version? I heard that one of the two models do not work well with Verizon, so i want to know the model you use on Verizon if what i heard is true.
2. Did you buy the Chinese version or the India version of the Vivo Nex?
3. Where is a good place to buy a Vivo Nex? Is it possible to have the website where you got your Vivo Nex if you got yours online?
Ran into this info unrelated to your VOLTE problem but it deserves a read. Looks like IMS, which can be added in the APN settings, has to do with VOIP.
The settings location is APN TYPE located in your APN file @settings\Mobile Network\Access Point Name.

Are you able to get LTE Band 13? I see its missing from the specs.
Have you put the nex on T-Mobile? How did that work out?
Hi guys,
I received an offer to order a Chinese Oneplus 8 and 8 pro however I am wondering if I can use the 5G here in the UAE.
Our networks support 5G, however, I need to know if the Chinese version OnePlus 8 5G will work.
Is there any bands like LTE that we can check. Or the 5G in Chinese version will only work in Mainland of China?
Thanks guys
hi dear, if you are referring to the ones sold on noon by callmate, they are definitely rebranded chinese variants, and you can check the 5g bands from oneplus spec sheets
https://www.oneplus.com/cn/8/specs?from=8
https://www.oneplus.com/ae/8/specs?from=8
i see that on https://halberdbastion.com/intelligence/countries-nations/united-arab-emirates both of your du and etisalat should work on 5g at n78, and looking at the above spec sheets, n78 is supported on both ae and cn models, so i guess yes it should work.
I might be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt

WOW! You got what I am thinking. Yes, I am planning to order from Callmate. However I am think if I should buy it this early. Oneplus 8 and pro is now flooded with screen issues in Oneplus forum. What do you think? I am thinking of buying OP 8, Mi note 10 pro or Realme x2 pro. Mi 10 price is crazy high here also so it is not on the option. Last option for me is iphone SE 2020.
Thanks

I've got a Chinese variant imported to the UK works fine here, no problems at all, as long as it has the bands used in your country it should be fine

OK, thanks.
Not to start a new thread, so trying to post the question here.
I got a Chinese Oneplus 8 Pro from an online sight who have stated that they've flashed it with the Global Oxygen ROM.
Thing is, while the sites state the 5G Bands that the phone supports, 5G does not want to work out of the box in my country (Saudi Arabia) even though my Huawei P40 Pro used to show 5G at home.
I've read somewhere that someone has purchased a similar phone and has managed to connect his phone to laptop and do a couple of things and get 5G to work.
Could anyone possibly point me in that direction? I have honestly searched for a few days but yet to find a way of activating 5G here.
Cheers in advance.

I have made instruction how to enable 5G any network: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/ - but of course there is limit in hardware supported combos. Many devices have 5G enabled only certain networks.
I'm very intrested about logs from your OnePlus device. I have instruction to get combos https://mt-tech.fi/en/how-to-get-4g-supported-ca-combinations-from-your-android-phone/ (Go to OnePlus section). In log i can see if 5G enabled or not and also 4G combos enabled.

Hey thanks for your work on it. I've found that QPST up to 2.7.480 does not support the 8 (No Phone, but device manager sees it properly. I've also tested QPST with my OP6 and it's fine). Which version of QPST did you use?

Yep, lemme try downgrading to 2.7.460 and check. In your case, were you able to modify LTE bands at all or did you try?

in carrier_policy.xml you can change policy to enable 5G, modify 4G CA Combinations and enable/disable single band support certain PLMN.
Amazing, I can confirm that 2.7.460 works, but 480 does not. That said, can modifying carrier_policy.xml result in enabling bands that NV has locked? I assumed that adding bands required modifying the nv section?
Edit: Enabled additional bands via lte_bands section, but it didn't work (downgraded to 3G instead, no LTE bands shows up)

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

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)

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
Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk
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 just got my Hurricane yellow xiaomi 13 today
I am so pumped about it
I got it from eBay and the seller unlocked the bootloader and pre-installed the EU rom.
Everything works Great! All the google services, android auto and the banking apps.
I even was surprised to get VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling out of the box.
The update via fastboot was surprisingly easy! and even that not all 4g and 3g bands are supported for me the signal is good and strong.
so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Where are you located? Which version did you get (Global or China)?
I am from Israel.
This is the China version.
The 512 GB limited edition.
https://xiaomiplanets.com/xiaomi-13-limited-version/
This one
what's the difference if yo get Chinese version of the wine device, not just ROM?
I am note sure what is "wine" device.
Basically the main difference from Global version is the the band support ( you have better support in global version) and in China version you have 512 GB option ( Global max is 256) and for china market only you have special edition colors.
And especially no Esim.
But in global version there is no Esim as well, it's lacking feature on both versions and not difference...
