Anyone think we will be able to get the fingerprint sensor active AND retain TMo VoLTE?

In theory you should, by running a European software it wouldn't take away from the hardware capabilities. But I guess we will have to wait and see..

Volte will likely be specific to the radio or the firmware
Not to hijack this thread BUT will a euro xz1 work on US voice/data networks and retain fingerprint scanner? I don't really care about VoLTE...Ive never used it nor do I care to I just want this phone!

Assuming it supports all the same 2G/3G/4G bands the US carrier you are using uses (and you aren't using a CDMA carrier) then yes. Historically the European Xperia versions have supported US carriers. However, it has also historically been easy to flash European firmware onto the US Xperias, to enable the fingerprint sensor in them. Either way I think it makes sense to wait for the US one so you have a functioning manufacturer warranty.

This post details the process for the Xperia X, you have not needed root access to do it on any previous Xperias (can't say for sure till this one ships), though you will need to wait for Xperifirm to add all the Xperia XZ1 firmware versions to its database.

Only true to a certain extent. T-Mobile is shifting to Band 12 (and then 600Mhz) which requires Band 12 WITH VoLTE.
Check out the X Compact forum or other "non VoLTE" phone forums - reception is terrible.
Due to recent lawsuits T-Mobile is actively disconnecting non-VoLTE phones from Band 12.
That means you may be in a big city where you should get 100% reception ... but you have 1 bar for GPRS.
Anyone make progress on the original request?
Received my XZ1C from clove yesterday. No wifi calling option on tmobile. Flashtool doesn't show this device currently, so can't try other firmwares.

I'm not sure you will see the option, but you can test it by making a phone call when you're on LTE. If it drops down to H/H+/GSM to make the call, then it's not using VoLTE. If it stays on LTE during the call, then it is using VoLTE. Would be great to know if you could test this.

Flashtool doesn't work with the new models, but it's confirmed that Newflasher does.
From peeking into the firmware, VoLTE and WiFi calling is enabled on T-Mobile USA when the "Customized US" (ID 1310-4371) firmware is loaded, but disables the fingerprint reader.
There is a specific modem configuration and framework overlay files that get loaded to allow VoLTE and WiFi calling, so it's highly unlikely to work without the US firmware unless you are rooted and can modify the normally write-protected partitions.
You will have to download it with XperiFirm and follow the instructions in the Newflasher thread.
I'd recommend deleting the "*.ta" files first.
It drops to H when I make a call

Thanks for confirming
In the US on AT&T with a US model, will I have any issues with this phone if I flash UK firmware? The fingerprint scanner isn’t an absolute necessity for me but I would definitely like to have it if I can. I only ever hear people talk about issues with T-Mobile with these phones so does that mean I shouldn’t have any AT&T issues?
Got my compact from Ebay. Tried 4 different firmwares UK/NOBA/CE/TW and none work with Volte. Only US works.
I'm having trouble activating the XQ-AT52 on Verizon (current service provider), the SIM is registering in the phone but I'm getting no service.
When I try to activate via Verizon online it tells me the IMEI is incompatible.
But when I try to use IMEI checkers on any other US carriers (t-mobile, att&t) it gives me a similar error?
Is the XQ-AT52 just not compatible in the US?
The IMEI isn't in the carrier database for T Mobile and ATT but that doesn't mean it won't work. This device works on GSM networks, not CDMA which means it won't work on Verizon

I am using my Xperia 1 II which is the O2 version from UK on AT&T without problem. I get LTE+ speeds up to 100mbps. The only problem so far has been when I go to call setting to enable call forwarding, it gives me a sim/network error. Changed the sim still same error but other than this no real issues

No VoLTE. Not surprising, I have the XQ-AT52. Did you check and see if there is a US customization you can flash with your version?

AFAIK, if you contact Verizon and ask them to activate the device as CDMA-less (or just ask them to set up your line as CDMA-less) you should be good to go for at least data. VoLTE is a different story, you might need a US customization for that.

Hi good morning where the files for US customization.
So I'm in a similar situation, I purchased an xq-at52 that was flashed with US firmware and verizon can't help me. Well, they're working on it, but it seems to more of an issue than just provisioning my line as cdma-less. I recently had success with a oneplus 7t so I figured the sony would be just as easy. Does anyone have a success story with the xq-at52 on verizon??
I'm trying to help a friend out who has this wonderful phone. Is there a way for the unlocked US model to utilize Verizons Nation wide 5g? I know it won't work with the mm wave but curious about the nation wide 5g since it uses a different antenna. Any help would be appreciated. I did search the forums and didn't see an answer to this specific question.
Thanks!

There was a firmware update pushed out for the Verizon variant (and other phones) that activated lowband 5G access. The update for the unlocked version has not yet been released.
Does that just do the same thing as your fix?

As it relates to 5g, yes. The verizon push my have other updates and enhancements for the phone, but enabling 5G DSS and the n5 band is done by the software update changing the service mode settings.

No. You want the csc to show vzw/vzw/xaa in software information under about phone in settings, but the unlocked fe model will automatically set this. If it is a carrier version fe, you may need to. For example a t-mobile branded one, you would want to see vzw/vzw/tmb

Exynos models have a service mode, as long as as you are only working with LTE and not 5g, there are options to work with. The exynos model doesn't have a 5g modem or antennas for 5g service.

It could, I have a UW model so it is hard for me to test. My understanding though is the U1 models are built without the the UW antennas, which if so, would make it impossible without hardware changes.
Hello,
I'm looking to inquire some help on enabling otherwise blocked bands on these devices. I live in the U.S. and could greatly benefit from it. I looked at some posts on using the QPST and QXDM tools for Qualcomm devices, however I am a bit out of my depths as far as this goes. I know that 888 has a built-in modem (x60) but I couldn't find any material on all the bands it supports. If anyone of you could help point me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks

These worked for me. It will say turned carrier check off then you can find the option to turn VoLTE/VoWIFI on under the sim section (for each sim installed).
However, I'm trying to enable blocked bands on the snapdragon's modem. Some of them they don't enable on different phones because of legalities and some just aren't supported by the chip.

No, my device's bootloader is not unlocked, so it can't be rooted, converted via service box, not the usual way. Device Frankenstein
But in Android 13 it will probably open. Because many brands(e.g. OnePlus; volte was very problematic on devices), volte was activated directly with the Android 13 update. Of course when will Motorola release Android 13, that's a big question

Pixel 6 Pro was also my previous device. The situation is different with Pixels, it has nothing to do with Motorola. Google blocks the 5G/VoWIFI/VoNR/VoLTE features of Pixel devices in countries that are not officially sold. This is exact information, you can research it.
You are asking if the software version of the device you are using is the latest version but you know VoLTE well. How is it doing? Don't give information without knowing.

HD Voice and VoLTE/VoWifi are different technologies and independent of each other. The carrier has to implement this though and allow it. Here in Austria (and other European countries) HD Voice works on 3G and even 2G, while in Asian countries and the US the carriers require VoLTE for HD Voice.
