[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
I believe these are two separate suggestions.

1) Get it working in stock, then it works in custom.

2) Use Shizuku/Pixel IMS. While this requires Android 11, and stock only went to 9, custom roms go higher.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the suggestion and your concern.

I don't have Verizon, but am seeing a friend over the weekend who does and might be able to test something. What's the ask?

Basically this guide, but replace the XA2 (pioneer) specific commands with XZ1 Compact (lilac) and verizon mbn instead of tmobile.

How to get T-Mobile VoLTE working on the XA2

Note: I haven't done any extended testing with this, so I have no idea how stable it is. I also have a MVNO of T-Mobile, so I don't know if that does anything or not. Note 2: This guide requires you to be on stock firmware, rooted with Magisk...

xdaforums.com

So instead of

mv amss_fsg_pioneer_tar.mbn amss_fsg_pioneer_tar.old
cp amss_fsg_pioneer_tmobile_us_ims_tar.mbn amss_fsg_pioneer_tar.mbn

It's

mv amss_fsg_lilac_tar.mbn amss_fsg_lilac_tar.old
cp amss_fsg_lilac_verizon_us_ims_tar.mbn amss_fsg_lilac_tar.mbn

Oh yeah, also you might need proper apns. I can't test these but they would be a good place to start.

Ah. I'm not on stock, so I'm guessing the process won't work.

Also, I'm pretty sure the XZ1c doesn't have the proper modem bands to support Verizon - at least the last time I put a Verizon sim into it I didn't get proper cell service/data.

Maybe the problem was that I didn't have the proper mbn settings, but that just puts me back to the "not stock" problem...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] asdf2345:
A few months back I got access to a Verizon SIM and had the same thing, while also not stock. However I have seen people here get signal but no VoLTE, so I believe it is doable. I don't think the phone is missing any Verizon band either.

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact TD-LTE G8441 Compatibility in United States

Wireless frequency band information for networks, devices, and countries - Stay connected anywhere in the world

www.frequencycheck.com

Suggests that it's missing some 4G CDMA bands for Verizon. Whether those are still used heavily unclear to me. But it could also explain why there was signal detected but not enough for proper communication.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] asdf2345:
4G CDMA is not a thing. CDMA is basically a worse GSM for 2G/3G. This also seems to be using the bands of a global model since the XZ1C has band 66, and this site thinks it doesn't.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Random Android User:
Volte never worked for me on stock either. However after installing lineage os 20 and activating it with shizuku it worked instantly. You dont have to restart phone either. I have set it to LTE only and it works flawleslly. Try it, maybe itll work who knows ^.^
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
Actually, I believe 4G CDMA _is_ a thing - that was what we had that they falsely called 4G before LTE was actually rolled out. I imagine it's also why on the chart they have LTE and 4G listed separately.

But I agree LTE CDMA is not a thing.

I do not know enough about the details of the bands to say more authoritatively than these frequency-check sites. i did specifically take the G8441 rather than the Docomo variant which I know are missing additional bands from the international version.

But I do know that every single review I've ever read said it was only going to work on AT&T and T-Mobile, and would not on Sprint or Verizon. Maybe that was due to more limited LTE rollouts at the time, or subsequent band adoption. I'll see what I can manage for a test.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
So I was setting up to try this, but something isn't working right.

I have stock, root, magisk, and what I think should be fine.

But when I try to remount /system (not /), while it says everything is fine, it still doesn't let me modify the fs.

I just get an error that it's a read-only filesystem.

The nearest I can tell, it's because verity is set, which I normally don't like to disable. But I also can't even seem to do that here - I can't reboot my adb into root (the device never reconnects, it seems) and as far as I can tell that's the only way.

Any suggestions? I'm probably just missing something small.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] asdf2345:
I have this, flash in recovery, format data, and reboot.

Also the adb commands can be done on device with termux or similar, or with a root browser even.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
Yup, that took care of letting me modify the files. I was still on an exploitable rom, so hadn't installed much other than a tethered root/magisk.

I swapped the mbn files, no change (none expected).

I put in the SIM card, scanned, zero bars.

Checked APN settings, it was clearly detecting Verizon but no bars, and no signal.

It wouldn't let me register on the network, when I tried that setting.

The settings wouldn't let me edit APN configurations or add any, just view existing values.

I similarly couldn't make any calls (let alone confirm if they were VOLTE) because there was no network or connection available.

I can't say if it was because of bad signal where I was, missing bands, or just Verizon blocking the phone. But it didn't seem to work in any way, shape, or form.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] asdf2345:
Doing some research, supposedly you need to "Get Verizon to allocate the line as LTE properly which can be tricky"

Not 100% sure if this relates to the no signal issue, but worth trying.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
Considering I was borrowing a friend's SIM card to test this out in the first place, I don't feel in a place that I can (a) call up to ask Verizon to make changes on their account or (b) ask my friend to do it.

Especially considering it "can be tricky" and the fact that I don't fully know what I'm asking for - which is a recipe for failure when calling up tech support.

So, maybe it's related, but I don't think there's any more that I'm going to be able to try on my end. You'll have to find a Verizon SIM to continue testing yourself.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nlra:
You are thinking of AT&T and them sketchily branding their HSPA+ service as "4G" before they had completed rolling out LTE on their network. I don't remember Verizon doing anything similar with CDMA2K, and am also not aware of EVDO service ever even getting to the place where it could even be confused with anything past "3G".

In any case, back in late 2021, I managed to get full Verizon service (both data and voice, on LTE, full VoLTE calling, etc.) working in a XZ1c G8441. I didn't post about it here, but IIRC I did so over on Reddit.

The steps were:

Ensure my service was provisioned on the Verizon side as "CDMA-less" (LTE only). They were starting to move in this direction by default anyway by the time I started trying, but if you had an older Verizon SIM with a RUIM application that supported CDMA on it, it would confuse the heck out of the XZ1 modem/baseband. But also, on the Verizon side, unless they prevented your SIM from being able to connect to the CDMA side of the network, you would have trouble with SMS while connected to LTE.

Load the AMSS/MBN modem profile "ir51_ir92_ims" to the XZ1c modem.

Set a few persistent props that would force the Android side to enable VoLTE.

Configure the right data and IMS APNs on the device

It worked perfectly. (And now that Verizon has completely shut down their CDMA network, 100% of accounts on their network are provisioned as "CDMA-less" now, so that's not even a going concern anymore. It's just a given.)

Unfortunately...

Verizon decided to be a**holes about it.

Apparently if you are a direct Verizon postpaid customer, word on the street is that you can probably get away with this and they won't give you any guff...they are actually kind-of handcuffed by the FCC/feds due to an agreement they made with them in exchange for access to the 700MHz "block C" band. (You can read about a different guy's similar case/story with making his Z3 Compact work on Verizon, back in 2016: http://www.christopherprice.net/sony-xperia-z3-compact-lte-phone-verizon-wireless-3199.html ...the difference is that he never got Verizon VoLTE working on his Z3c, which was not a problem for me on the XZ1c. This gent also testified in the "Nguyen vs. Verizon" case which dealt with a bunch of this nonsense.)

In my case, though, I had been issued a SIM by a Verizon MVNO, and for some reason they treat those differently with regard to "unsupported" devices. Once I had put this SIM in my XZ1c (which had originally been activated in an iPhone 8), the Verizon network detected my IMEI change, also detected the IMEI was from an "unsupported" handset, and even though everything was working 100% perfectly, Verizon, via my MVNO's customer service dept., threatened to shut off my service if my SIM remained in that phone.

I didn't feel like fighting that battle at that time, so I just cancelled the service and moved on. Still using AT&T in various "unsupported" Xperias to this day, though (incl. XZ1c), with full VoLTE and WiFi Calling working just fine. 😊

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] nlra:
I did not try with Lineage. All of my successful Verizon tests were on stock Sony firmware.

It works just fine. Verizon does not have a strange VoLTE/IMS implementation as hinted at in that Github issue...it is bone-stock standard. Back in the day, they used to have a somewhat non-standard set-up (among other things, the IMS APN was something like "vzims" instead of just "ims"), but they have since standardized on IR.92 like virtually all other carriers have by this point.

The "verizon" MBN file that ships with XZ1c will NOT do VoLTE, though, which is why the primary respondent to that Github discussion couldn't make it work. You also can't take MBNs from other phone models (like XA2, XZ2c, etc.) and use them on a different model like the XZ1c...those MBN files are *highly* tailored to the particular modem baseband and its firmware. So no, you can't simply take the Verizon MBN from those "blessed by Verizon" models and flash them to XZ1c.

If you simply use the "ir51_ir92_ims" MBN that ships with XZ1c, Verizon VoLTE will work with stock Sony firmware. You also need, though, to setprop two different properties as well:

setprop persist.radio.calls.on.ims 1
setprop persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr 1

If I recall correctly, one or both of these might require that you be root to set.

Morning all,

I currently use 1GB Sandisk SD card for my XDA II Himalaya. As TomTom size is increasing day by day, I was looking for an 8GB SD card however when I searched online, it said SD over 2GB are now SDHC (SD High Capacity cards) and the devices need to be compatible to be able to run it.

My question is, Does Hima XDA II supports SDHC cards? (I am using Ather 6.14 ROM Mobile version 6).

Could someone please help on this matter before I make a buy?

Here is the link to the Hima I have :[http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_ii-697.php]

Here is the link to the SDHC I am looking at : [http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/4949650/SanDisk-8GB-SD-HC-Card/Product.html]

Many thanks

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] pdc4:
Hi,

Himalaya does not support SDHC, only SD.

However, I have several 4gb non sdhc memory cards working perfectly.

If your search well you will certainly find them.

Three suggestions:

1 - Try before your buy. There have been mixed experiences with different brands (and sometimes even with the same brand...)

2 - If possible, go for the ones with highest speed (even if some say there is no difference...)

3 - Format the sd card in the device...

Regards,

P
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jaytheguru:
Thanks Pdc4, I really appereciate your help in this.

I am looking at Sandisk ones, they are quite good and faster then other brands.

Will check out and find out if I can find one which is only SD.

Many thanks

[Android Apps and Games] SJH12333:
I'm using the global version.

I would like to suggest some problems and improvements.

problem:

1. When connecting to WiFi through tethering, a network connection error OSD message continues to appear.

Also, the launcher does not recognize that the network is connected, so logging in is impossible.

You can't even receive weather information.

2. When making a Bluetooth call after setting up PIP, the PIP screen is broken.

improvement:

In launcher settings

When using pip

It would be nice to have the ability to select and switch between 2-3 apps.

1. Navigation

2. YouTube

3. Others..

I hope that by setting it up like this, you can immediately switch to the home button or other set buttons.
