HI Guys,
I just bought this phone for sure I love it but I live in an area where VoLTE is and VoWifi is a must to have due to poor mobile reception
I used the dial in numbers to get VoLte and and Vowifi activated got success and was able to switch them on from Mobile network menu, but they aren't working at all I tried with flight mode on and off for Vowifi same thing, tried sim card from another network no use, and signs for VoLTE or Vowifi hasn't come on notification panel also
I am on Global Rom
MIUI Version 12.5.10 (RKDMIXM)
Does anyone knows any solution to this
Thanks in advance
I've had a problem with my carrier and Wi-Fi calling which I had to fix myself. Xiaomi do nothing except bundle the default carrier settings and very little testing is done if any. There is a good chance the carrier configuration settings for your carrier are missing or broken.
If you can let me know the carrier and country you are trying to get it to work with I will take a look at the modem configuration settings for that carrier and see if it has anything in it for VoWiFi or VoLTE.
Getting it fixed however, unless you go down the technical route of using Qualcomm debug tools and unlocking the bootloader and rooting, the chances of getting it fixed is close to zero. Xiaomi have never looked at the bug report I filed months ago.
HI Philip,
Thank you for the response I am in Australia using Telstra network, I tried Optus Sim as well having the same issue with it, the only solution I could find is in below link
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/3rppj4r3
It says have to enter into Modem test tools to change region and network to Australia which isn't possible without unlocking the bootloader, I have requested bootloader unlock permission if it doesn't help will need to switch the phone

I've looked at the modem configuration file relating to IWLAN and the settings are there. It is noted a Certificate is required to join the IWLAN for VoWiFi so it is possible that certificate isn't on the phone or is now out of date so a connection isn't allowed. It is also possible other configuration settings in the config file are out of date and need updating. If it is possible to get another carrier modem file to work, then often other things can break, but at least that would give a pointer to what changes need to be made by comparing the two.
It should be noted that Xiaomi don't really test these devices everywhere and they seem to just use the default Qualcomm provided carrier modem files and hope for the best in any particular country. You can use the feedback options to tell them of a problem but in my experience you will never get a response and in my case they've never opened a linked file with extra information (on Google drive so I can see who last opened it).
Regarding the other forum info, well I've not been able to get the modem test tool working on the 11T Pro (says to contact the modem team for permission), and the forum posts suggest we need weekly test ROMs where the permissions are enabled, however there are no weekly ROMs for the 11T Pro as far as I know. The next best thing is to modify the same settings using the Qualcomm debug tools, this takes some effort to get working.

Thanks for the info Philip, let's see there is a Xiaomi.eu fastboot rom available hopefully it helps if doesn't better I would switch to some other phone, only Xiaomi phones which lasted with me long enough were Mi 5, and Mi Note 10, would love have Mi 5 again but those days are gone now as xiaomi has stopped thinking about there fans

I can confirm the Xiaomi.eu ROMs contain exactly the same modem files (they don't touch them), so I doubt very much it will be any different. By all means give it a go if you like.
Hi Philip,
Have you checked EEA firmware if that has it?

Yes I checked the EEA firmware. From what I've seen investigating my own issues with VoWiFi is that all the firmware regardless of region contain the same standard Qualcomm modem files, even across different devices, not just the 11T Pro.
Did you try to disable carrier check? Dial *#*#86583#*#* in phone and then the VoLTE option would appear into sim options.

Hi,
I've an Galaxy Note 8 (canadian, SM-N950W), buyed directly from samsung, so it's factory unlock and not in any carrier database.
My carrier offer Volte and Vowifi on S7, S7 Edge, and iPhone. I've an Volte capable sim card, and the volte component is activated in my account whit my carrier (i've an S7 edge in my carrier database).
Now, i want to get it to work whit my note 8. I've done many search on the web, and found nothing that work. I've try to get a shortcut for the ims settings, but it said "not found any csc feature", and the apps won't open.
After that, i've thinked about many other alternative, but i'm not sure if it will work, that the reason i'm asking before doing anything wrong and brick my phone. I know all the samsung carrier-specific function is on the CSC. I can just root and edit the config file, but i don't want to void my warranty, and get limited to 80% of charge.
So, another thing i'm thinking, is to flash the s7 edge CSC on my note 8, that already have the volte function enabled on it. Will it work, because it's not the same model?
I've tried too opening my firmware (downloaded from the web for my carrier), extract it, but when it's time to access the csc img.ext4 file, i get a "corrupted archive" from winrar, that let me doing anything.
Any ideas? Thank!

My logic says, surely the easiest way would be to
flash your carriers Note 8 stock Rom with Odin
If this is possible. This way you most likely to keep
everything official. (Knox etc)
I was in a similar situation.
In my case i had a branded Note 8 and
unintentionally flashed unbranded Samsung firmware.
I did not also have volte and wifi calling etc.
No shortcuts work
So i flash my correct branded carrier firmware
All was working again.
I have no carrier branded bloat, as i uninstalled
them.
This for me was the easiest option
Good luck.
Thank for replying willcor
In your case, can you access the ims settings shortcut? And then, enable Volte and get it to work?
Are you rooted? And does the note 8 is officialy supported by your carrier?
FInaly, can i just flash the csc whit odin so i will keep my file, or i need to flash the complete rom, and loosing my data?
Thank!

Firstly, i am not rooted. Stock branded carrier firmware.
As i already had my sim enabled for volte, wifi calling
etc with carrier i re flashed the carrier firmware
Volte appeared "automatic" after flashing. (Short while later ) For me the easiest way.
It was unintentionally that i had flash unbranded
Samsung firmware.
I was originally on branded firmware.
(Vodacom /Vodafone.)
I soft bricked my device while
beta testing.
When i was on this unbranded Samsung firmware
i noticed that there was no volte, wifi calling
and no stock Hiya spam software. etc.
I used QuickShortcutMaker to try and enable
shortcut to wifi calling. No luck.
I'm only suggesting you check this option out
... if possible, then surely it the best way to go.?
Further just flashing to change CSC gave me all sorts of
issues.
I landed up having XEF (France) and my device showing 32 gig storage.! Instead of 64 gig.
then flashing again i landed up on XFE (SAMSUNG)
Sorted storage out to 64 gig.
Then again i Flashed carrier firmware
4 x files ( did not flash home CSC but the other CSC
which resetted device and all is well and knox 0 x0
Bottom line is that
all my previous devices are rooted. So i knew what i was doing.
When i soft bricked my device etc.
so i did not panic.
So i suggest make sure or
look for a relevant video etc on YouTube
if not sure
Yes you are going to lose your data. So do a backup.
Flashing the "home CSC" basically is a dirty
flash.. You don't loose anything.
Which i think is not going to help you.?
Good luck.
Hi,
I've flashed the firmware of an operator that support the note 8, but still not any settings for it in the phone app setting. Can't still access ims setting too.

for me the ,the best option /scenario would be .....
1) Your service provider that you enabled volte ,wifi calling etc with .
2) Further your sim requirements ,for me i had to have sim 64 or higher ( with correct CSC of carrier .)
3) Then obviously that same service provider ( above ) stock Note 8 firmware ,if compatible with your Note 8 model /device etc .
According to what i experience surely , above should be enough to get it enabled .?
Plse note.....
i would not use another carrier firmware etc ,
(as in this case) just because it should have similar firmware .
Try to align your options ,to make it easier .!
This for me should be an key option ,not another provider that has similar functions etc .
Remember you got no root ,would prefer to keep knox 0 x 0 etc .
so your options are limited .?
good luck
Hi,
Still not getting it to work. But today, i've noticed LTE+ icon appear intermittent. It's switch to 3G when i place call.
No any settings of VOLTE.
Can't find any solution to root my phone (snapdragon), because i've the new update. I'm pretty sure it's a way to get it to work, but don't know how. It's just software issues because my operator was activated it in my account.
Hi,
Finaly, after 3 !!! factory reset, gessing whit 3 different carrier, i've activated it, i've it in the settings.
Now, when i make a call, it switch to 4G. I think it's the APN. I know my carrier need 3 apn for the VOLTE, and still have only one. I will try to find the 3 apn setting today.
For the vowifi, i see it in the notification center, a toggle to activate it, but it's do nothing.
I've successfully found the ims, there are 4 for my operator. But i can't find the IMS APN type in the option given in the phone.... How i can enable it?

If you want it to be easier call your carrier and have them add the imei # to their database then the imei will be whitelist and reprovisioned...then you can just use the unlocked firmware or the full carrier Firmware...

I have posted many times with the same info...Several others have as well..
Thanks for sharing though...just search IMS BlueFox721 in XDA search and you will get more info than the video explains as there are other settings to do as well..
Thanks again for sharing
that video and related info is only to add the missing features if you are not on the right csc.
but it wont fix the issue where the carrier is only allowing imei from phones they sell to use these enhanced voice features. In the case of Rogers and others, you can try calling them all you want but in the end they wont do squat to white list your imei. maybe some other providers will yeild to your requests but Rogers is know to not white list non carrier phones.
I successfully got HD Voice turned on and working. But no sign of Wi-Fi calling. I was searching through shortcutmaster and came across a menu where I can turn on wifi calling. It isnt grayed out, however it wont actually toggle over. The screenshot posted is from tapping the menu dots in the top right part of the screen. I assume I need these filled in to enable it. Any ideas on how to populate the right info. Im on verizon, but got the Note 8 from Samsung, carrier unlocked. SM-N950U1

How you turn on Volt?
Greetings everyone!
Yesterday I have finally purchased this awesome device (Mi 8) and one of my most desired feature was the face unlock. After I unboxed the package, I have sadly seen that there is no such option in the settings. After a few-minute research I have found out that face unlock is only available in a few countries (China, Russia, Indonesia, India AFAIK), which is a really dumb thing imho. (I mean, the expensive hardware is literally inside the device for nothing). So I have changed my region to Indonesia and voilá, the face unlock setting appeared in my settings (with a few extra apps as well. well at least I can download themes too). Long story short, I have browsed everything, including Play Store, websites through Chrome, etc but couldn't find any aspect where the region setting would change anything at all. No Indonesian content at all (except for 1-2 Mi apps, which I literally never use). Could anyone tell me how region setting affect my phone? I couldn't find a single answer anywhere.
Also, as far as I know some Mi services are unavailable in the EU since the GDPR regulation (Themes store, etc.). Did the company disable the face unlock for the same reason? Are there any information whether these apps + face unlock will ever be available here, in Europe?
Thanks for reading through my little tale and thanks for answering as well. Have a nice day! Mi Community rulez! :highfive:
I Think app like netflix and anything like netflix will be affected based on region... Using Indonesia region you will get content on netflix but specially for Indonesia viewer....
Hey, I just bought Xiaomi Pocophone and I'm facing the same issue, so I set my region to India and I'm looking for the same answer. Do you have any new info regarding the region settings affecting something on your device, coda00?

Hello!
As far as I konw face unlock will be available in an uncertain time (at least that's the rumour, which I don't really believe), but I have found the perfect solution. The custom ROM called Xiaomi.eu offers the same MIUI system as the stock one, it has the same update schedule and there are no ads, or hindi/chinese content. You can also use face unlock with whatever region you want to use, since the base ROM is chinese and the ROM is hardcoded to a given region (probably Poland, but it won't affect the usage). Hope this helps. First I really didn't want to unlock my device, but boy it really does worth it for Xiaomi.eu.
EDIT: Sorry, I just realized I did not really answer your question @ShafiX94 was right, region affects some applications content, but most applications use GPS location instead of region setting, so it does not really affects usage. Instead of Xiaomi services of course, so on stock MIUI you'll see Indian content in Music player, Mi Video, Browser, etc. So every Xiaomi app ad will be hindi.
Wow, thanks . But that would mean losing my warranty, wouldn't it?

Well, theoretically yes. Technically, not really. You can relock the phone anytime after unlocking. It takes about 10 minutes. It is easily manageable to reverse the phone to its factory state in no time and even the service can't tell if you have ever unlocked or not. Also, they really don't care about software when it comes to hardware faults. And if it comes to software fault: well, as one of my phone repair worker friend would say: there is no software issue that couldn't be fixed at home.

Haha, okay, I'll try! I was scared because last time when I unlocked my HTC I was not able to relock it! Köszönöm.
I've been messing with the Region settings and found they affect all kinds of stuff.
WIFI - if you set region to Indonesia you no longer get 5G WIFI networks
Sound/Volume - as already mentioned gets set to lower max volume in EU countries
Face Unlock - Option is not available if you set your region to USA
Application - Different applications get hidden or displayed based on region
Themes - Get the message that themes aren't available when region is set to EU
What else did I miss?

Wow. Nice little research. I wonder why these infos can't be found anywhere. Thanks for the update. The face unlock and application part was clear but I didn't know about WiFi. Nevertheless, Xiaomi.eu is a way to go
I've been searching all around, called my Carrier support, opened a Bug report on OnePlus for this issue posted around the forum, no one was able to help.
I even have a thread (where i will link this one) asking people with whom it worked and didn't work... and now i found the solution. I just tested on my 7pro, and it worked!
Follow this link and the article, and report back to see if it works!

You can enable switches for volte, but they dont do a thing if your operator didnt certified op7...
I don't think here in Austria 3 provider and A1 are certified oneplus phones but these phones work well with ims profiles from other countries like OnePlus 6t for 3 (three at)
Have used profile from 3 uk telefonica , and for A1 network here profile from German telekom and from India booth worked volte and wifi calling ,
done with qpst
Without any problem no such need for certification
Cheers
works perfectly for Orange Romania. thankx
AT&T and there is no option to enable it in this menu
How do you turn off system log after this?
i got the Chinese version of the phone (12gb ram version for a great price from wonda). Flashed international oxygen OS and my wifi calling and 4g calling/volte work with Three UK. didnt need to do any of the above.

Hi, I recently replaced a non functioning 9T Pro mainboard with a replacement which is working well in all aspects except SIM registration (the main phone function ...!) - looking through the details it looks like it's a K20 Pro from India (from Alibaba, origin not advertised) and the ROM is Indian. The SIM doesn't seem to be able to register on an Irish network. My question is whether the radio restriction is a hardware issue or is software fixable - I'd be grateful for some advice before trying to unlock the bootloader install an EU ROM, as it's difficult to get the unlock from Xiaomi without a functioning SIM for SMS OTC etc. I've tested the SIM in other phones and it registers on the network okay. I've also tried a different (known working) SIM in the problem phone, without success, which is leading me to think the issue is isolated to the phone rather than a SIM issue. It would be really helpful if I could find out whether going dow the flashing route it worthwhile or a dead-end. I've spent many hours flashing various phones over the years, trying to match ROMs etc., and know what a rabbit-hole it can be.

Hi, any takers on this query ;-) - I'd love to hear from any tinkerers who could give me a steer on whether I'm wasting my time going down the unlock / flash with correct regional variant, or if I should just write off the board / phone as being only useful for wifi rather than sim network. If someone who has treaded this path before with some success could let me know I'd be much more enthusiastic about dropping a few hours on it - I've spent many hours on flashing various devices before, and usually have less hair to show for it before I'm successful. Even if it means (as I've read in a few posts around here) that if I lock the device again on a rom that's not regionally compatible I'd be inheriting a paperweight(!), it would be nice to know that in a controlled environment the sim would work. Would be a shame really to nothing with the board as I (stupidly!) splashed out on a 8GB 256GB replacement and (surprisingly) any queries to the vendor on AliExpress have fallen on deaf ears surprisingly ...

Unlocking Bootloader usually requires to wait 7 days and during that time phone must have a proper SIM card, attched to the Mobile network.
Not sure how would you do that in your case?!
Anyway, start waiting for those 7 days, better earlier than later. If you change your mind, you simply don't unlock the Bootloader upon the 7 days of waiting pass

Yes, good idea, thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can kick that off / whether the sim registration issue blocks me. If anyone else has been able to verify that flashing can help regional issue with SIM registration and support bands that would be great too! Thanks.
So many people are reporting with the 3/1 sweep by AT&T, that they are blocking almost all Unlocked phones: See: Downdector Link We personally have a S10 (G973U1). AT&T is saying on this list: AT&T approved phone list that it is supposed to work. But like many other people "calls" end immediately, but we can text and data work. It is some sorta ploy by AT&T to force us to upgrade our phones. They want us all to upgrade to S22s. Anyway I was ranting. Anyway, if you look at that link, they are saying that the phone has to be on the latest software. The last update from AT&T or the manufacturer was in January. I checked the firmware site, and Android 11 is the latest in January. I'm wondering if there is some hack to get us on to '12' or something. An update might solve this issue. We know that a new SIM does not work. Calls seem to be rejected on the network, just based on the phone model or Android version.
We are aware that a version 12 is out there for the phone, just that firmware is not for our US-unlocked model yet. But maybe it can be hacked?
Edit: It appears this thread may be linked with this older one... But it is ever more pressing issue now:
S10 Unlocked phone with AT&T Firmware here they explain how, and the problems with flashing. This was back in 2019, so I'm not sure if this will still work. Even then it didn't work for everyone. Some in that forum claimed that it did. AT&T seems to now be blocking from their calling network any phones not enabled with VOLTE and the extended AT&T services that are not present in Unlocked phones.

So many people are reporting with the 3/1 sweep by AT&T, that they are blocking almost all Unlocked phones: See: Downdector Link We personally have a S10 (G973U1). AT&T is saying on this list: AT&T approved phone list that it is supposed to work. But like many other people "calls" end immediately, but we can text and data work. It is some sorta ploy by AT&T to force us to upgrade our phones. They want us all to upgrade to S22s. Anyway I was ranting. Anyway, if you look at that link, they are saying that the phone has to be on the latest software. The last update from AT&T or the manufacturer was in January. I checked the firmware site, and Android 11 is the latest in January. I'm wondering if there is some hack to get us on to '12' or something. An update might solve this issue. We know that a new SIM does not work. Calls seem to be rejected on the network, just based on the phone model or Android version.
We are aware that a version 12 is out there for the phone, just that firmware is not for our US-unlocked model yet. But maybe it can be hacked?
Edit: It appears this thread may be linked with this older one... But it is ever more pressing issue now:

I was helped by a user to achieve ascendance onto the AT&T network. I'm not sure if I'm to reveal his name. We 1) go into Developers mode on the phone. 2) Hack the Kernel. 3) Flash the rom to the G973U (model)... with the AT&T firmware. So that the Wifi-Calling and 5G features would work, and AT&T would allow it on their network.

I've literally been searching for an answer to this for days now. My wife and I have S10's. I work far from home so I really need her phone working in case of emergency. Can you please point me in the general direction? Thanks!
Agreed, I didn't know such a thing was possible, but I'd love to hear more about this!

At first I had to use the Samsung Band Selector app from the Play store and go into More Network Settings > AT&T > Preferred Network Type and choose 3G. Unfortunately this killed LTE so all data and calls were going through H+. As I was mostly on wifi I could live with it since I could actually use the phone again.
Then Friday morning I checked for updates and there was the update to take me to Android 12. I took the update then when it finished it said it needed to reboot to connect new SIM to carrier services....it wasn't a new SIM. I let it reboot and everything was working with VoLTE again.
Hope this helps.
