omg another kiwi <3

I read on a Korean forum that phones must be registered to the carrier as a "VoLTE capable OMD (Open Model Device)". That forum says that users must call or visit their carrier customer support centre to register their phone as OMD. I think this means that carriers have a "certified" model names for VoLTE and as long as the device model is one of those pre-certified ones, VoLTE will work. Or ask your carrier to register your device for VoLTE.

I'm on Vodafone and I have successfully enabled 5G connection on my Pixel 5 using this method

https://xdaforums.com/t/video-tutor...n-pixel-4a-5g-and-pixel-5-using-qpst.4243129/

However, it seems that March update changed things up a bit that this method no longer works. However, my 5G connection stays enabled even through sim card swaps.

I couldn't enable VoLTE by editing the EFS partition though. So my theory is that even if my phone has the correct necessary files for NZ's carrier VoLTE configuration, it still won't work unless the phone model is registered to the carrier. This explains that in that geekzone link post #2643155 , someone who bought a Galaxy Note 9 from HongKong has VoLTE working in NZ probably because the Galaxy Note 9 is officially sold by NZ carriers, therefore the Note 9 model is a "certified" model in the carrier's system.

I also made a Magisk module https://github.com/swangjang/Pixel-Bramble-Redfin-Carrier-Patch in theory which supposedly force-enables 5G. Also adding in other Countries/Carriers mbn files from other devices which uses the same chip as the Pixel 5.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] baboon23:
Hello friends!

Cool stuff.

Is there a security risk with installing these custom modems? Where did they come from, are they modified in any way or still signed, just from a different manufacturer?

Also, is there neat trick to keep magisk installed after OTA updates or do you just flash magisk+these zips after every update?

Lastly, why aren't all pixel ROM makers merging this? What possible reason is there to not want VoLTE for all users?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Kars88:
The android 12 developer preview 3 is packed with more carrier settings. All carriers in the Netherlands have support and they updated the expired apn settings. I found a carrier policy containing a very detailed list for europe with 5G support.

I suspect they are included with the upcoming may patch. I didn't expect Google tot fix this, a very pleasent surprise!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] baboon23:
Thanks Kars, can you please check if there's anything about these in the preview

Cellcom

Partner Communications

Pelephone

Golan Telecom
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] inkogn:
Can you share the list?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] I7210I:
Do you succed with Golan at under the current version?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] HerrT:
Hi,

are you sure that it actually uses the 5G network - or does it just display it on the top line.

You should be able to check this with entering *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer (and check the output of 1st menu point (Phoneinformation or smilar).
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ivycharlotte:
so Android 12 may support 5G in more countries?

Can you share the list?

I want to see the situation in Hong Kong.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] HerrT:
@Kars88 could you please try to verify? THANKS!

Upgraded to Android 12 Beta 1.

Still no 5G in Hong Kong.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] rusinov:
What about VoLTE?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ivycharlotte:
No VoLTE too.

And I don't know why for me *#*#4636#*#* is not working (just do nothing). I have to use third party app to check the status. Screenshot attached.

More info:

Using eSIM, physical SIM empty. If it is the reason I will switch back to physical SIM to try again. Waiting for other comments.

Update: I can get 4636 working now and I see NR Available false. It seems that 5G is still not supported here in Hong Kong.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Panichdi:
Damn, which carrier are you on? I had high hopes for Android 12. :(
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ivycharlotte:
Hong Kong CSL

Have been using 5G plan for more than half a year without enjoying 5G....
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Panichdi:
Thats my carrier as well. ****e, stuck on 4G.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] hhaber:
It's been 4 months since the last post.

Anyone have some news about using 5g capability in other countries then those listed in Google website ??

I'm in Israel and can't use it.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Panichdi:
I believe nothing's changed. Installed the new Android 12 this morning, finally, but yeah...same situation, still limited to 4G in Hong Kong.

The 6 or 6 Pro again don't seem to make it to HK officially - looks like we're stuck with this situation for a while if we want to stick with Pixels...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] rusinov:
The same on my side, official android 12 on Pixel 5, 5G, VoLTE, VoWIFI still locked. This is totally last Google phone which I've bought.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] damkov:
Same for me, P5 is my first & last Pixel. On A12 and everything still locked (volte, vowifi, 5g), disappointed on Google ignorance.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] hhaber:
I can't understand their logic

Why to disable it??

I'm trying to get a official response from them but no luck so far.

Maybe there is a Google employee on the forum that can provide the answer
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] thiago_oliv:
Upgraded to Android 12 (official release). No 5G DSS connection in any operator in Brazil. Oneplus works fine. Shame, Google, shame...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] rusinov:
The interesting part is that Google started locking all threats in Google support community where users criticize the company regarding this bullshet. They want their reputation to be on a safe side.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Panichdi:
That's what I am wondering as well.

Instead of making all bands available on all carriers and saying "Guys, have fun, but don't come to us if you have problems" since they don't support the market, they flat out lock everyone out. Strange decision. They are going directly against the main interests of their customer base. We might as well buy Samsung at this point...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] damkov:
I simply bought a Samsung phone and everything works out of the box (5G, VoLTE, VoWifi). Goodbye Pixel 5, it's on sale.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Brps_cl:
Unfortunally, there is no answer from google, i have a 4a5g but, at many of users here, no Volte, No Vowifi, and worst, no 5g. im in chile and i can confirm that ALL mayor carrier in chile only supports phones that they sale on their stores, if you buy your phone outside of Chile, you phone will not work properly, some said that your carrier must to certify your phone, thats is true, but also Google have to certified the carrier.

-someone said that you must to enrole yor IMEI in your carrier, maybe that helps.

on this picure is my carrier list of "homologated models" and its says that they will use an **IMEI searching system for 5g...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ivycharlotte:
The problem is still there but there seems no solution at all.

I don't know where I can report the the problem to, and I don't know who is responsible to enable the VoLTE and 5G functions. Is it Google? Or the local carriers? Or BOTH?

Google keeps selling new Pixel phones, but if this problem cannot be solved, the Pixel phones would be quite useless.

P.S. Who changed the title to "(solved)"? It has never been solved.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] rusinov:
Issue is totally at Google. Mostly it is management decision, but not technical. I was on contact with my carrier, they tried to push me on 5G manually but said the the Pixel 5 not announce it's 5G capabilities to the network! The phone must return some parameters to base station but it doesn't do it. In private discuss with an engineer from the carrier I've understand that Google also ignoring the official complains from the carrier. This exactly will be my last Google phone.

If you want to change something send support cases to Google, as much as more you can.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] nakster:
I'm in South Africa, just got a Pixel 6 - no 5G/VoLTE :confused:
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Brps_cl:
Google is ignoring every complaint about this, they just said that If is not a listed country they don´t support it.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] thiago_oliv:
I have absolutely the same thought and conclusion. It's time to find a new brand. I don't like Samsung because of the heavy changes they make on AOSP, so I'll probably go to Motorola. What brands are you considering?

In the meantime, I tried to root my Pixel 5 just to later insert new modem settings to support 5G in my country. Ended up with a soft bricked phone (no system and fastboot refusing to flash) that I could eventually bring back to life without root. And although I know there are a lot of people here willing to help, the sole purpose of getting 5G is not worth a newbie's effort. 😞
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] rusinov:
I definitely will no bought Pixel anymore and looks for replacement. Samsung is not so worst, they announce 4 year support for S21 and S22, which is great. Their camera is nice even with stock camera software, which is some kind comparable with Google Camera. They have support almost in most of the countries - service network and etc.

Motorola is Lenovo now, it is not like the Motorola on Google years, support is very bad, camera quality also.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] andybones:
And if you're a must-root like me, sampwnd will hopefully keep continueing to allow root!

For me it's worth the 100$ or so.

I've considered buying the unlocked S20 which is a wondeful phone, as I do LOVE my Pixel 5, but branching out is always fun.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Dr-akbar:
Is it possible after enabling 5g on the pixel 5 through qpst, to keep it permanently even after unrooting and relocking the bootloader? or will it revert back to lte?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] gugarush:
Hey @thiago_oliv , great news. I just can connect my pixel 5 on a 5g networking here in Brazil.

I am running Android 12 with root. Feel free to send me a message maybe we can figure out how to enable 5g for you too.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ivycharlotte:
So rooting the pixel is a must?

Rooted phone cannot run most bank apps...
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] gugarush:
Rooting is a must but I think you won't have problems with bank apps. I have 4 banks apps and all of them wasn't working until I add then to the magisk deny list (it is a magisk feature). I am facing problem with 3 apps only: Microsoft teams, Netflix and ifood. I think I have problem with around 20 apps after root the phone, but was solved including then on the list.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] thiago_oliv:
How about Google Pay?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] gugarush:
Not working. I just delete root app and I am going back to stock and one reason was Google pay. It was good to see 5g here in Brazil(it was my goal) but I can't keep my mainly phone without GPay, and others apps(or i do not have knowledge enough, but I don't even want to use APK mirror or something like that). After delete root app I realize there was more apps that wasn't with update option on play store even in an old version.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] elong7681:

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jrs007:
You don't need to give up root to have Gpay working, do as I did:

1. Install Magisk DELTA (root)

* In magisk settings enable "Zygisk" and "Bootloop protection"

* Then activate the magisk hide and restart, go back to the magisk settings "Configure magisk hide" and leave checked Gpay, Google play Services, Play Store and other apps you want to hide the magisk.

2. Install the Universal Safetynet Fix module (Version 2.2.1 zygisk)

3. Install the MagiskHide Props Config Module -

*Choose a fingerprint for your device (usually Google > some Pixel (I use Pixel 6 A12, you can choose your own)search as...)

4. Reboot. Ready Gpay with Root

[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] h8Aramex:
Is it possible to call record with skvalex and root?

I think the module comes with a free trial. It worked on a Pixel 4a XL with Android 11, but nowadays you never know.

I offered in other threads like in the 8T GPS one. If you post a screen, I buy you a beer if you have donate enabled/give me a paypal or whatever.

Thank you!

Ps.: I really need a new phone and I was looking at the OP 8T, but the 256gb is hella expensive (almost 150% price) and image retention drives me nuts on OLED. Like if I need to make a trip and then I stare at Waze burn in, it is just sad.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] Sp8ky:
That's just a meme honestly. It doesn't happen.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T / 10T Pro Questions & Answers] h8Aramex:
Well, I did not intend to make a thread about that, more interested in call recording.

Story...

It happened on/to two Note 10+ that I owned.

One 128GB Note 9 I've had, and a newer 512GB Note 9 I now use.

The OnePlus 7 Pro was bought from the OnePlus website. It happened to me, personally. And bothers me like hell.

You can make it disappear by running various AMOLED "fixer" apps, changing your use to light use while alternative between using those apps for a short bit.

But then again. You buy a 1000$+ device that you cannot use because then you stare at the burnt in/retention parts. Plain dreadful, mate.

I also tried everything to prevent it from happening. I had an image burn-in on my Note 10+ after just having it out for a longer period of time. Brightness was manually lowered even.

When I used Waze, I directed the car AC on the phone. Used dark Waze theme. Lowered brightness by hand + disabled auto-brightness. I've tried everything I could.

After going home and trying to open my apps, I stared at the burn-in on every darker area lol. And this was the routine for 3-4 days.

And mind you I only used GPS for ~3-6 hours tops. Not at once either.

Eh, anyway. Just Google "Rog phone 3 burn in", or "Note 10+ burn in" or whatever, you'll ALWAYS find people who just manage to do it.

And it's not even like gamers, playing Fortnut 10 hours a day. It's way worse.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] effsee:
Firstly, greetings.

I'm sure I'm opening myself up for abuse as per what I've read in countless posts but here goes.

I've been searching, and reading, and learning - hopefully enough to get myself through my first ROM flash without bricking my Kaiser, and for all the information here on this forum I thank you all.

My question however is one that I can't find a straight forward answer; with all these seductive cooked ROMS and shiny new features (CUBE, WM6.1, KaiserDiamond hybrid, D3D) not included on my bog standard phone.. Am I safe to presume that all ROMs in the Kaiser forum will run on my Kaiser? I want to make sure before I'm lured in by a new ROM that I cannot run.

Again, thank you to all the cooks, and those creating the Wiki's.

Frank
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aaronsmckee:
The only concern would be compatible radios (ie some Roms will not function properly with some radios) just read in the Rom thread to determine compatible radios or flash a rom with a built in radio (l26's new roms for example). Make sure you install hard spl, flash a proper radio and then flash ar new rom and your on your way (don't get nervous if your pda stays in tricolor for a couple of minutes before the rom starts flashing, I freaked out when that happened the first time I flashed).
