[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Easiest way seems to be clearing the cache and restarting the app. It should prompt for the update when you launch. The apk is also in the Telegram channel.

Be careful. Locking will persist through reboots. 5G locking is not possible at the moment.

The crazy thing is that the changelog only mentions Exynos band locking. The Pixel is very similar and it somehow works.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tanipat:
to be clear seems still we discuss the problem lies with google or carrier. here to say it again it all google fault, they just lazy to put all carrier support (or may be intended to) so unlisted countries will not support all that. to be clear it is not just happens it happens since pixel1 not the new problem at all. most cheap chinese phone bought from china even works more in other countries because they just put all carrier update that is all needed. i live in Thailand and buy alot of phone that not sell in Thailand and pixel always the most problem in terms of carrier support.

just root it and there should be the way i make vowifi and volte works just not 5g because diag is not work anymore on tensor. but there should be way and we trying together to find out sooner than later. but if not root no hope i can say as pixel1-5 still no support upto now since several years passed by
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
That doesn't prove anything about google, not saying they are angels or anything, but if your providers do provide their carrier settings how can google dream up how they might be setup? Really your think google knows every legal band range for every single carrier throughout the world to provide this???

Google create a phone that supports the world.

Then each countries legislation (govt) airwave regulators, probably the armed services decide what bands... are available in the countries... Google does not give a crap about any of this.

Your service providers have to decide if they are going to support the phone in that country and provide the details to support that device in the country NOT google.

Trust me google want their phone everywhere, to get sales not limit them, this is in their interest. But if they are not provided the supported files for your vendors, then they can't support your vendors.

Pixel 4a or 5, that is great that you can use the vendors provided files to use in your pixel 6 pro, but if you have issues with that phone with 5G you can't ask your telecommunitation provider to help or fix, and google wouldn't know how to fix.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andriy2011:
BS!

That's Google issue.

Otherwise why does latest iPhone supports 5g in my country but pixel doesn't?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Probably also the latest samsung phone, because your service provider(s) support them on their networks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] amalras:
Those who participated in the Android Beta Program noticed that there was no such restrictions to limit the 5G & VOLTE to specific countries. So I was wondering if there's any way to flash the Pixel 6 device with Android 12 Beta ROM.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] reas0n:
Possible 12L beta is our hope. Maybe then someone can extract required files and make a Magisk module
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jafffar98:
Android 12L beta 2 still has restrictions, at least for VoLTE on my Pixel 4.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Meroine95:
Any update ? :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
It is a provider/carrier AND google issue. But more of a provider/carrier issue than google.

The google support claims it is the carrier which needs to unlock those features.

The carriers say its google who has to take care of it.

I am in Austria and I have 2 different carriers (Magenta & Drei).

Magenta doesn't support VoLTE while drei does.

Both do not seem to support VoWiFi.

I am never getting an LTE+ icon but I get 4G (which I believe stands for LTE+).

Magenta doesn't allow me to use 5G.

Drei does allow me to use 5G.

Some features are broken with Magenta which work with drei.

Also there are some bug with Magenta which do not exist with drei.

Both carriers say its google fault (even if stuff works with the other carrier)

Clearly it is not the devices fault.

Clearly it isn't even google's fault because stuff works with a different carrier in the same country.

Clearly some stuff doesn't work at all in my country which can probably be fixed by either google or the carrier.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] amalras:
Actually according to this Android documentation https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/carrier

The providers must create a signed application for themselves, which will set these settings as needed. Since Android 6 ...

And what changes by root is the replacement of the configs made by Google - the last iteration of the search for carrier settings.

Of course, there is a certain problem with this - there is only one Google, and there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of providers. Therefore, other manufacturers simply follow everything by default, instead of relying on these bad providers, which either have no programmers, or some other reason not to make such applications with settings (perhaps this is a problem with the digital signature of a physical sim and the need replace it periodically).

Who knows? The problem and the solution have been for so many years ... Perhaps you need to try to somehow influence the providers, Google? Or at least transfer this information to them?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] amalras:
Same issue with Android 13 Developer preview. I have side loaded it on my Pixel 6. Can't activate VoLTE & 5G in unsupported country. Anybody got it working?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fuadhdmini:
No one has ever succeeded yet to get 5G in unsupported countries, only volte. Look for voLTE thread under Apps, Theme Mods category
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gi.ier:
I can add my 2 cents.

I live in Italy and my area is covered by 5g signal.

My carrier is Fastweb. Fastweb can use 2 networks (some kind of roaming), one is TIM and the other is WIND3. The same sim card cannot use both of them, so if it's registered under Tim no way to have a 5g signal.If registered under WIND3, 5g signal should be available . BUT, and here's the point:

Pixel 6 is NOT listed among official authorized smartphones for 5g for FASTWEB.

the list of authorized smartphones is here:

Guide-loader

www.fastweb.it

It's the same for all the other Italian carriers

Tim, Wind3, Vodafone and Iliad all have different lists of authorized smartphones.

So it's possible that a device that is 5g, will work if the carrier is Vodafone but won't work if the carrier (sim) is Iliad.

Why? i don't know.

My opinion is that there could be some technical issues, but the most important thing is that each of these providers sell smartphones with their plans. So, if you want an Oppo, you'll have it at special price with a certain provider, if you want a samsung you'll better check another provider and so on. And obviously, they'll activate 5g on those brands they sell, not others.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] amalras:
That's partially correct. 5G is working in some unsupported countries in the EU. Google is selective. Perhaps the carriers must have requested to add their settings in the carrier_policy.xml
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andriy2011:
Just what I have noticed in UAE.

I have local Etisalat and Google Fi on my Pixel 6Pro bought from US.

On Etisalat I only have 4g without VoLTE and no 5G at all.

But when I setup Google Fi as primary aim for data - it shows VoLTE as provisioned and 5G as available
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] amalras:
Curious to know, Google Fi really works in UAE?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andriy2011:
Yeah, it does. And it supports 5g and VoLTE
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ibrahim52:
I am in UAE as well. I'm using voice over LTE through magisk modules, unfortunately that takes away the conference calls options, but voiceover LTE works high speed and fine. Did pixel 6 work for you on 5G and VoLTE without rooting and magisks modules ? If yes can you please guide how to sign up for Fi from here ?

How did you got it to work? You used the fix? Or is working natively? I am planning to buy one and I am also from Brazil.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tutuco:
Hey I just followed the Tutorial here. 1st. root your phone with magisk.

You need : Rooted phone, 5G Plan, 5G Coverage.

STEP 1 : Install the module on magisk to activate VOLTE and reboot.

STEP 2 : Install Network Signal Guru on the Play Store.

STEP 3 : Click on the 3 dots, Forcing control, select your sim card.

STEP 4 : Click on NR SETTING, and select on Opt2(0x10) and Opt3(0x01) on the ENDC menu.

STEP 5 : Restart the phone, if you are on 5G coverage, it should be working for you.

If your carrier doesn't allow you to select 5G preferred network on settings, you might have to select "NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA" under Preferred network on the hidden *#*#4636#*#*

[Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Questions & Answers] bot9000:
I despise JOYUI 12.5 and it has been causing me massive issues since I "upgraded" to it back in June. I'm amazed at how locked down Xiaomi phones are. It's very anti-consumer. I really miss the JOYUI 11 my Black Shark 3 shipped with. Everything was faster, looked better, and functioned flawlessly. Now with JOYUI 12.5, my phone is littered with bugs, worse battery life, a worse interface and lost dual sim functionality. It's driving me up the wall and honestly I am considering selling it just to purchase another Black Shark 3 with JOYUI 11 installed.

Are there any options here? Is it possible for me to downgrade back to the original firmware it shipped with, or do I need to purchase another Black Shark 3 altogether? Thanks so much in advance.
