Some European countries (like Turkey) require you to pay import tax on phones purchased out of country before they can be activated. Basically instead of operating on a blacklist to block stolen phones your phone must be whitelisted to work. It gets whitelisted when sales tax (or import tax) is paid.

If you don't have an acceptable receipt (basically up to customs if they'll accept eBay/Paypal print-outs) then you can never get the device whitelisted as you can't pay the tax.

So is it completely legal? No.

Is it an understandable situation? Yes.

One of those gray areas where XDA-Devs thrives. No trying to steal but need to bend the rules a bit.

Kyphur,

you said it right man..I am from Turkey, live in US.. I have a ATT tilt..when I went there in March I registered my phone..but only every two years I can register one phone..so it means I gotta use this tilt over there for 2 years..but i change my phone every 6 months..so this is a grey area..it is a f'ed up rule we have there in Turkey...

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nictabor:
Hi, I've seen where some users have reported success getting VoLTE to work on the OP 6 on AT&T, but I have not had the same success in the OP 6T. I followed the same steps and enabled it on the phone, which now shows that it should use VoLTE when available. I have also spent many (painful) hours in the phone with AT&T trying to resolve this issue, all without success. Has anyone else been able to get this to work, and confirmed that LTE data is still presented when in a call?

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] DarkAce5691:
I have the McLaren version and with TMobile and I can confirm that it is using VoLTE see picture below.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] p51d007:
"technically" I'm using at&t, but it's a tracfone sim via Straight Talk. I enabled it for both VoLTE & VoWifi, and the LTE one took off but the wifi version did not.

I DID notice the difference in call quality. Much better audio response.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sharksfan7:
Yeah. I'm on AT&T and I got VoLTE working. I just made a call and did a speed test while on the call. Everything indicated it was still on LTE.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nictabor:
What steps did you perform to make it work?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sharksfan7:
I had issues with VoLTE when I first got phone. Read my post from another thread. Basically had to wait for AT&T to get my line provisioned correctly. Don't know exactly what needed to be changed/activated.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nictabor:
Thanks. I did all of that, and I've called AT&T, but I still haven't had any luck.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
It's well documented that that doesn't work, doesn't change anything. I spent two years with the OP5 and 5t trying to get them to enable VOLTE, in about 12 different ways and it never worked. Either you were on WIFI or just really, really special.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sharksfan7:
Yeah, OK. Whatever you say.

[MENTION=3474402]nictabor[/MENTION] Disregard everything I said. Gerry says it doesn't work. All the indicators on my phone that show VoLTE working must be wrong.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
You can search the bazillion threads on this exact topic that already exist in all of the OP forums if you want. Just telling you my experience and summarizing the other threads. Glad yours works though.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nictabor:
I appreciate the feedback, just wish I could get it working on mine. As much as I hate the experience, I'm thinking it might just be worth going to the AT&T store just to get them to use my SIM in one of their devices just to get VoLTE working on the line (and/or verify it works on one of their with it already activated)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nictabor:
So, I can now confirm that VoLTE works on the 6T. Basically, the system requires HDVoice to get VoLTE working. The solution? I bought a $25 AT&T Prepaid junk phone and enabled HDVoice and WiFi calling on my SIM. After that, I switched the SIM back in to my 6T and it is now working.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ma678:
Then why didn't you call AT&T to enable both features directly?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nictabor:
I did, numerous times. They submitted my IMEI to enable the features, and I was told that everything was set up correctly. Upon their recommendation, I went as far as sending my brand new 6T back and buying another one. It didn't matter how many people I talked to, it didn't work until after I used the junk phone to first get it working on the line.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ma678:
I can make VoLTE or vowifi calls with my sim on other device, but once I switch to 6T, none of features works.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nictabor:
When I first swapped it worked and then stopped. I had to put the SIM back in the AT&T phone and again enabled VoWiFi. I then pulled the battery, turned on the 6T, and inserted the SIM. It's been working on the 6T since.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone found out exactly what to do to get this working?

VoLTE was working perfectly on my 3T, albeit the only way to make the switches appear was with the VoEnabler module in Magisk.. but once they appeared, all I had to do was turn it on, and VoLTE was up and running. I tried the same thing on this phone after putting my SIM in, directly from the 3T; it worked for a few minutes, then the status bar icon disappeared and calls drop my connection to 3G, then go back to LTE once the call is over.. so clearly it has turned itself can off.

I then put my SIM card into my wife's At&t branded Galaxy s9, and after a few minutes VoLTE was working, using my SIM in her phone. I popped my SIM back into my phone, VoLTE was back working... Except, just as before, after a few minutes it stopped.

One thing I've noticed, while working correctly, under the IMS Service Status menu selection in the *#*#4636#*#* dialer menu -> Phone Information, it shows IMS Registration: Registered. Voice over LTE: available... But once it stops working, it says not registered, and unavailable respectively...

Since there are apparently people who seem to have it working, what am I not doing?

Could it be that the phone I put my SIM card into, is currently in use by someone else; someone else who also is provisioned for VoLTE? But what would be the reason it decided to stop working on my 6T and not my 3T? I used the same procedure to trigger VoLTE working on my 3T, and it never stopped working as it is doing on my 6T.

We work opposite shifts, and I used my few minutes we see each other a day to put my SIM in her phone then back into my 6T, I didn't put it in my 3T, which I will do next time I see her.. just to see if the 3T will hold onto VoLTE; that way I'll know for sure if it's something the 6T is doing differently than my 3T, or if I just got lucky before...

Any input or suggestions are welcome..

Edit:

Called AT&T customer service, put my SIM in the S9 and said I was unable to activate either WiFi calling or HD Voice, yet my wife's SIM in the same phone works.. they said that for some reason, my SIM was apparently attached to a non at&t Galaxy s9, she changed the IMEI associated with my SIM card and it's all good now.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ysfk7:
With AT&T, If i enable VoLTE, i did not see the "HD" icon when making call. If i disable VoLTE, i see the the "HD" icon. Why is it backward?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
Opposite for me... The HD icon only appears when I have VoLTE on, as shown.. perhaps something to do with using 2 SIM cards?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Bilal54:
I got volte and vowifi enabled and only problem is that i cant see the volte icon on status bar.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rob_z11:
I may have to do similar thing in which I have to find a phone which is ATT legit since I don't own any ATT branded phone to have my phone properly provisioned. I like your Entry "The Wife"
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
Just something I found out that may make it easier: you don't actually need possession of the AT&T device, you just need the IMEI from a branded device.. Call customer service, tell them you need to update the phone you're using, give them the IMEI of the branded phone, they put it in, restart the phone and you should be good to go.. it should go without saying that you can't call customer service on the device you're trying to get VOLTE working..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rob_z11:
Branded = OnePlus 6t right?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] lordcheeto03:
When I say branded phone I mean an AT&T branded phone.. I used my wife's AT&T Galaxy S9... Just whatever device sold by AT&T, that's the device you grab the IMEI from and tell the reps to update your account to show that as the phone you're using..

You could likely use an iPhone from any carrier because I may be wrong, but I THINK iPhones, regardless of what carrier they're from, can make use of all the network features, but I also want to say I read something negative (I can't remember exactly what) about using an iPhones IMEI to do this... If you can't find anything, I MAY have a few old AT&T devices, but I don't know if they supported VOLTE; I know they were 4G/LTE devices but I can't promise it would work for tricking their system into letting you use VoLTE.. Either way, last ditch effort, shoot me a pm and I can look for them if you hit a Dead end looking for one.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rob_z11:
I will send you PM. Thanks for all your help.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] JubbaBlubba:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Turkdale:
Hey guys,

Since 2 weeks I have an Sony Xperia XZ2 and I spend hours to get it unlocked but I am end of options now.

The smartphone has the newest firmware what is available and on the Sony forum I didn't got the support what I was expecting. (their community is dead, they post once in couple of weeks...)

I try to unlock the bootloader to obtain root access and restore my apps from my other smartphone (OnePlus 3T) but unfortunately the OEM unlock option in Developer Options is greyed out.

I did my research and gave the phone a factory reset twice but without any positive results.

My debug data:

Manufacturer: Sony

Model: H8216

Android version: 9

Android source version: 9_201808

Api level: 28

Build id: 52.0.A.3.27

The DRM keys are verified in the first stage of repair.

If you unlock your bootloader, it's already gone.

You don't even need to root...

They'll reinstal the firmware using EMMA, just like repairing mode on Xperia Companion. (with media stuff)

Root nowadays is just a small entertainment.

Not extremely necessary as it was some years ago.

And, yes, the camera will be a completely mess.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tonev:
In order to root the phone you need to unlock the bootloader and when you do that you will loose the camera DRM keys and the camera will turn black. There is a fix but the quality of the pictures will be worse (for example a lot more noise in darker pictures than before).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
Since PIE the black preview is not the case anymore.

Just update to the newest firmware and unlock your Tama phone .
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
About the "completely" camera mess, I attached a photo.

Btw the Sony aosp will gain a better camera quality than stock since they develop the drivers from scratch like stock.

But there we'll get RAW for GCAM.

At the end of this month the next camera fixes should come.View attachment 4739161
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Luhccas-X10:
I'm talking about now.

And not just the camera will be a mess... X-Reality, bank apps, DRM protected content etc.

With unlocked bootloader and whatever "fix", the camera is still a completely mess.

Sooner or later someone will be able to port Gcam to AOSP ROMs, and it'll be very nice, even if not 100%, 95% is better than stock with DRM keys.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
That's a picture from "now". With an unlocked bootloader and without a drmfix.

Banking apps still work.

DRM protected content like Netflix, too.

We don't need an AOSP port of GCAM. It'll just work with RAW support.

As example Xperia Maple AOSP has already a better camera quality than stock.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Luhccas-X10:
Not all bank apps are lazy about security and a lot of it have deep verification. (Santander, Itau, Banco do Brasil etx)

You can't say it's ok because it's not.

HDR content under Amazon Prime force close with magisk patchs, probably Netflix 4K content too (HDR as well)

The Xperia XZ Premium of a friend have root and nothing works properly (of the above things I said)

About that picture of now, I hope they solve the compatibility of Gcam... Because it still looks like a (bad) camera from six years ago.

I always warn about the bottlenecks of doing root for everyone who asks me.

But, for you guys, I really wish all success on customization.

Cheers!

I have same issue with Fenix 3HR and Pie on Mi A1.

From what I saw on Garmin forum, it seems to be a broader issue with Pie, not just something with Mi A1, so Google/Garmin need to come with real fix for this.

I tried the suggested workaround, but I still get intermittent disconnections of Bluetooth which lead to watch's battery depleting too quickly.

Only thing that helped for me is switch from a CIQ watch-face to built-in watch face, and then battery drains a bit slower, but still faster than before Pie.

For me, Connect App had message: check for notification to accept pairing (or something like that), so it forces me to input the PIN there....

Because you dont read post carefully. While you have connected your Garmin to Connect App (which is disconnecting all the Time) - go to System->reset option->reset wifi cell bluetooth and do the reset. Now go back to Connect, now it should prompt to enter pin, if not - turn on pairing Mode on your Garmin. Dont pair it with system, only with Connect.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] BtB:
I thought I had read carefully, but did not understand the post like you explained it. I had done the 2nd reset of Wifi/Bluetooth before completing the first pairing, and in that case it never prompts for the PIN in the app.

With your explanation, I've now been able to enter the PIN in the app, I'll see if connection is now stable.
