Hi, I recently purchased a Nokia 8 on Amazon (Italy, unlocked, TA-1004 EU6) and I am on the latest build (00WW_4_390). My carrier is TIM.
In the network settings I don't have the enhanced LTE toggle for HD Audio on call. Like someone else, if I search it in the settings, it appears among the results, but refers to the menu without its voice. In the hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*) provisioning VoLTE is enabled and both data and voice are indicated on the LTE network.
Among the options of my SIM I have enabled the service "TIM Voce 4G" (aka "TIM Voice 4G"). So on my line the VoLTE is enabled and the Nokia 8 fully supports it.
I know that the carrier must also support the specific device, so I ask: someone in Italy managed to activate it? If yes with TIM or other carriers?
I did the initial setup of my Nokia 8 without the SIM for the issue of the alleged block of updates from the carriers (I don't think that things are like that and I explained why in the appropriate topic) and I wouldn't want this to affect the correct configuration of some carrier services.
Hello everyone.
As you know from the post above, I have a problem with enabling VoLTE on my Nokia 8.
Until a few days ago I found myself with a smartphone with full support hardware and software at VoLTE and with the relevant option active on my SIM, but my carrier (TIM) hadn't enabled the Nokia 8 to use this technology on its own network.
Now TIM has enabled the Nokia 3, 5 and 8 at VoLTE, but the option to activate HD calls continues to be inaccessible.
I also tried to subscribe to the beta program, but the situation is the same with both Android 8.0 and Android 8.1 (january security patches on both).
TIM has also reset the network, but they say they have no problem. On my Nokia I also reset the network options, as well as move the sim on the second slot, without success.
Are you aware of any way to force the display of that item? Once I remember that on Nexus 6P it was enough to disable VoLTE provisioning and disconnect from the network, or something similar.
Thank you all and sorry for the double post.
I was earlier having Mate 9, in which i was able to use to switch to LTE ONLY mode very swiftly using netswitch app, to use Vodafone India 4g network. My mate 9 used to show 4g only signals and i was able to use data only network as my area was having issues with 3g network.
Now i got a new Note 8 Dual sim exynos model. Using some third party apps from play store, iam able to select LTE ONLY mode (only on the sim which has been selected as Calling sim). But it displays no signal after forcing to 4G only mode.
Please somebody help, so that i can use Vodafone India 4g network.
In the same area, when i use the same sim in a snapdragon Redmi Phone, and select the LTE only mode using *#*#4636#*#*, instantly that REDMI phone switches to LTE mode and shows full signals and i can use 4g data.
Somebody please help.

Sir, you are the man. Thank's a lot for this lovely app.
You shall be mine as well.
Especially since the app "shortcut master (secret codes)" stopped working for me under Android Pie, your app successfully calls the network mode selection menu.
Many thanks for that great hint!
Link is not working pls tell me the name of the app
You may use this link instead.
Hi,
Got the note 9 since friday. working great. but i noticed that when i call on sim2, i can use mobile data of sim 1.
Default mobile data is from sim1. and phone calls are set to ask every time.
now my sim2 is my work number. during the working hours i call alot with this number.
my sim 1 is my private sub from t-mobile. and i mainly use the data plan of it. since i dont wanna use the internet that my boss pay's for for my personal use.
Now since i got this setup. what happends is. some one texts me a foto through whatsapp. and then calls me to sim2 before i can look / dowload the picture. then when i pickup the phone they ask me did u see the picture i sent you. i then open whatsapp. but i get the msg no network.
what i noticed is that when i call on sim1 i still have LTE data. (cause sim1 provides the data)
so it cant use data from sim 1 and voice from sim2 at the same time?
also is there a way to set certain apps to use data of a specific sim card?
lets say i open my 2nd whatsapp that it loads the images sent there from my sim2 network
but when i open my 1st whatsapp (2nd app cloning) it uses data from sim1?
or any other apps for exmp chrome and samsung internet?
is there any tweak that automates the switch data to sim2 as soon as i make a call with sim2?
now i can just click on the sim settings menu and change the default data to sim2 to receive data during the call. but when im driving in my car this are alot of buttons to press and i rather not.
i don't own N9 yet. read about dual sim technology varieties on the net, theoretically N9 should be able to get dual VOLTE feature on both SIMs (assuming it supported by carrier(s), and phone shows VOLTE icon on both SIMs). in the event you are making call on SIM 1 & trying to get data on SIM 2 or vice versa, this requires dual sims dual volte (DSDV) feature kicks in and liberates you to choose which SIM to get data from.
might really want to consult with your carrier(s) if both SIM support VOLTE.
Are you able to get VoLTE and WiFi calling to work on the international dual sim F variant of Note-9 on US T-mobile network?
Hello.
I'm using MIUI 10 beta on my Xiaomi Mi8 phone.
And I'm getting this error message:
"find device can't activate SIM"
uplink_sms_limitation
When I tap on it I get this message:
"Can't activate SIM card"
uplink_sms_limitation
But strangely I can use my phone to make and receive calls.
What's the problem?
How can I solve it?
Exactly same situation here with my SIM2. I guess is something related to Mi Message app.
Is your SIM in roaming?
Mine is and my best bet is that the message is due to the system relying on some sort of free activation SMS which are not available on roaming.
My SIM1 is not on roaming and it works perfectly.
By the 22/SEP I will be traveling to my SIM1 country and will be able to confirm if that is the issue.

BTW same behaviour with any combination of MIUI version (9, 9.5,10), global or Chinese, beta, stable or xiaomi.eu that I've tried.

I've read I have to disable the "find my device service" and "Mi Cloud", maybe other Xiaomi services too. I'm just trying.
That can have some drawbacks though.
I'll flash Xiaomi.eu when I can unlock the bootloader. I hope it won't have this problems.
I'm not in roaming.
I have the same problem, mine is a Chinese version. I just long-hold the notification and choose to ignore it (it won't show again). I assume it's trying to activate it somewhere in the Chinese system.

Every time I reboot the phone it reappears.
Be careful not to accept because it sends SMS message (you pay).

disable the "find my device service" worked for me and solved the issue
I have the Redmi K20 Pro and was able to fix this error. Go to Settings >> SIM cards & mobile networks >> Data roaming and set Overseas data roaming to "Always" (don't worry, this will only be for a few minutes). Let the activation services run again (you may have to repeat the activation attempt a few times), and your device should be able to activate the SIM and verify the phone number. When it's completed, you can turn the Overseas data roaming back to "Never."

I recently bought new phone Redmi 8 for my granny.
What I just have not tried it (language change, the exit from Mi account, restart, wait 10 minutes until the pass "activation" and so on...) - nothing helps! This evil notificatio has written off the money for a SMS - but the activation fails, you can imagine my despair hehe!?))
Then I googled this problem and accidentally find your comment - and it all solved instantly!I did steps as you wrote

- click there and voila! Activation was instantly quick like a charm! Then - "Overseas data roaming" option back to "Never."
PS: for the statistics, I'm from Ukraine, Lifecell my operator - and your method can be confirmed as a universal and instant solution!

I tried your way but didn't solve my problem, so i tried something else and it worked! so i wanted to add it here so viewers can try it tho:
go to apps manager and search for the app that has Blue Mi Logo, it's called "Xiaomi Service" or something like that.
press on the app go to the app permissions
here i have enabled SMS, Contacts, Phone and Storage and they i tried to activate the SIM Card and it worked directly.
I have redmi 8a and no OVERSEAS option under roaming, just plain roaming->always,never and for exceptions only, if I set it to always, problem persists, tried giving full permissions to xiaomi sim activation service and it didn't work either, :S , I am starting to regret getting this phone , until I can root it :/
Thank you so much it is working
Thank you so much it is working
Step 1: Go to settings, SIM card and mobile networks and make sure there are no spaces between your phone number. Sometimes when we copy paste a number it leaves spaces in between the numbers for example 07784 263465, make sure there is no spaces I.e. your number should be 07784263465 (P.S. I used a fake phone number to show as an example)
Step 2: enable the Data roaming service under settings to always. Settings, SIM cards and mobile networks, Data Roaming, Settings, Data Roaming to Always.
Step 3: Go to settings, Apps, Manage apps, search for and click Xiaomi SIM Activation service, click Clear cache then click App permissions, Enable all options. You can turn options off after the process is completed.
Step 4: restart your phone (you might want to do this although online I didn’t need to, I only clicked on the notification and it activated my second sim.) I didn’t have to go through this procedure for my first sim,it was activated straight away.
I also didn’t have to switch off my find my device option at first but reading here, I did switch it off and on again.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

its possible that you carrier does not allow overseas texting? It could also be an issue with your APN, manually add it if you need to.

Google the recommended APN settings for your carrier and make a note of them, I use the program by Google called Keep.
I google Vodafone and found this page
Select Settings.
Select SIM cards & mobile networks.
Select Your carrier under Sim card settings
Select Access Point Names.
Select New APN
Manually Add your carriers suggest APN settings.
Click save
Select newly created APN and test, You should be good to go.
Finally make sure that Data is enabled if testing Data.
I use Network Cell Info Lite - Mobile & WiFi Signal (Beta) for testing my network and optimizing my settings. get it here
Hi I have a Nokia 8 (TA-1004) which is dual sim.
I have a 3 sim and a plus net sim installed.
When I select the default sim for data it works, same for messaging.
BUT when I open the selection for calls i cannot change it from "ask every call" to either of the sims though it looks like it should be possible.
Anyone come across this before? what is the answer? phone is latest OTA updates.
Nokia 8 not permitting selection of preferred sim for calls
Hello I have exactly the same problem as described below by Pontprennau. Also on a Nokia 8 (TA-1004) in the Network & Internet screen under "SIM cards" and then "Calls". Setting preferred sim for sms and data are permissable for both Sim 1 and Sim 2, but setting the preferred sim for calls is not permissable and continuously force-defaults back to the "Ask every Time".
Can't imagine that the network provider has anything do with this problem though ie whether it is a T-Mobile, 3 or any other network.
If any information/resolution on this are available would be much appreciated. I have the latest OTA updates provided by Nokia/HMD Global.
Thanks
