It's obvious when using dual sim (physical and eSim) that 5G is disabled since it tells you so. lol. But my question is how do you disable one of the sims in order to get 5G if it's in your area? The is a toggle on each of the networks sim page but I'm chicken to flip the switch because I worry it will disable the sim and then I have to pandemic shuffle to a store and pick up another one. So does anyone know or have they heard about what happens with the physical sim if you turn it off and the eSim if you toggle it off? Thanks in advance. The toggle is new to the P5 or perhaps Android 11 from what I can tell. I used to see a message on the physical sim page that to disable it remove the sim but that has changed.
Just flip the "use sim" option to disable or enable it. Turn both off and you just have no service.

That works, thanks. Turns out Google just committed into aosp 5g on both sims in dsds. Hopefully December patch will include it.

Hello,
Have/use someone VoLTE/VoWifi on Nokia 8? I have no function to enable this option Mobile Networks or in another place. How do you enable this options?
Thanks

Just in case you do not know it, the carrier that you use, need to support it in general, and the carrier also have to decide that they want to support on that phone model.

Is the menu inaccessible/hidden entirely without carrier support? I can find the shortcut to "Enhanced 4G LTE" by searching the settings menu, but when I try to follow it I end up with the normal network settings (without the Enhanced 4G LTE option)
My phone is the TA-1004 version

*#*#4636#*#* key combo will get you access to enable VOLTE/Video calling over WIFI.
Be careful of what you change.
Hello,
Thanks for sharing that I fo, I know that secret code but don't stay on VoLTE, seems as carrier have to enable that service on sim card, and they make available this services only on Samsung S8, Samsung S8+ and Xiaomi MI6. They are still on test with VoLTE
I think it depend on carrier.
I have two carrier, one doesn't have VoLTE and another have
In Cellular network settings, you can see one have "Enahnced 4G LTE Mode", but another not.

FYI: The official Oreo beta build enabled Enhanced LTE in my case (my provider is Telenor DK).
Needs to be carrier enabled
So I tried digging around and haven't found any similar situations. I flashed the ATT firmware to my Unlocked Note 9. I get WiFi calling and Visual Voice Mail. However, under Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks there is no options for "Enhanced LTE services" or something like that. I also do not get e VoLTE symbol in the status bar like I've seen on others devices. Am I missing something? Should I try swapping the SIM card? Any insight would be great. Cheers!

It's been discussed a lot here. The basic ideal is that AT&T, moreso than any other carrier, likes to restrict features from devices they didn't sell. It's done by the IMEI on the line. Firmware is one part of the equation, as you've discovered, but certain things just will not work without more steps.
Essentially, here's the process: Find a real AT&T device capable of VoLTE. Swap the IMEI of that device onto your line temporarily by placing your SIM card in it. You might also have to call AT&T and have them swap the IMEI on your line while the SIM is in. Have AT&T unblock the VoLTE feature. Put the SIM back in the device you actually want to use.
if I buy an unlocked note 9 from best buy i should not see this problem with my T-Mobile sim card right?

T-Mobile doesn't care at all where you bought your device. And most features work on unlocked, too. Missing from U1 on TMB:
- Video calling
- Native digits
If you flash to U, you get literally everything the network can do.
I have a AT&T Note 9 and I don't have the VoLTE listed in that area
It must be on by default (hardcoded) or is listed in another area
Just got my Pixel yesterday, noticed that I don't have any sign of 5G connection even if I have everything activated on my sim and used 5g in my area with a Huawei P40 Pro....
I noticed, when I accessed the *#*#4636#*#* menu that it shows my sim card as sim2. I know that on second sim there's no 5g and I wonder if that's the problem. If it is, is there a way I can solve it and make the phone see my sim (physical, and my only sim) as sim 1?

I know that. But it doesn't connect to the 5G network, even if the phone itself is set up to use NR, LTE and all the stuff there. It stays connected to LTE only.

Do you have a 5G tower near where you live? (under Set preferred network type you can set only NR and test it)

Yes, tested with P40 Pro, working. Here's the Pixel
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9449293?hl=en
Do you have both SIM activated? It says "Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) phones with two SIMs in use will fall back to 4G networks. To connect to 5G networks, temporarily turn off the SIM that isn't set to use data."

Nope, I don't have both SIM activated. I only have a physical SIM that's in the phone, no Esim and still, it shows it's SIM 2. That's why I asked if I could reset or something and make the only sim I use SIM1, I suspect it has something to do with the phone keeping 5G off for it.
Hello balenax
I have the same issue I am based in Kuwait. They told me that my carrier needs to do some configurations with the manufacturer (Google) and then google will enable it with a software update. The physical sim I installed says Sim 2 similar to yours and once I tell it to use NR only the Network goes away instantly. I will play with 2nd sim and tell you if something happens. Please do update me if you try something

Yes, I think it's similar to OnePlus 8, the 5G connecting is enabled only for some carriers. It's a matter of time (hopefully) but I'm afraid they won't do that for unsupported countries (I'm from Romania and Pixel is not sold here officially).
Our best bet is root and edit the carrier policy files, just as on OnePlus.
I'm not that eager to do that, I'll wait for a while and see, maybe it will be solved by Google and operators.

Yes it's the same for all 5g Androids and unsupported countries, unfortunately. It is really frustrating since the bands are supported. Only Samsung, Apple, and Huawei devices are supported everywhere since they make deals with everyone. I hope this 5g mess gets fixed soon. I am not a fan of rooting my Pixel. I am hoping it will be fixed by beg on Next Year. I just tried installing an esim but it shows up as sim 3 so there seems to be something blocking the use of sim 1. It would be interesting if someone with 5g working to give us a screenshot of the Phone info I suspect that they will be on Sim 1 . If yes is it region locked!
Got 5G working via this tutorial. In Finland Elisa operator. Thanks so much. I also installed magisk module. Btw Im on Proton android 12.

Hello
I just got this phone and set it up. Its a Global version 13.0.4 SKDMIXM.
I am on TMoblie USA - the phone is working great on LTE and 5G .
I am not able to see the Network preference under wifi calling where is can select Prefered Wifi Calling.
It appears that its running on default Prefered Cellular - because I can only see the VoLTE symbol on top.
Can someone help me in fixing this configuration to select Prefered Wifi Calling ? TIA

Hello, I'm using a 11T Pro Dual SIM India model with India SIM in Slot 1 and TMO SIM in Slot 2.
I have not found the specific setting to make Wifi Calling "Preferred" but, my phone does indicate Vo WiFi even when I have Wifi connected and Mobile Data turned on too once Wifi Calling is enabled as below.
Apparently the Voice Over WiFi Settings (at least here on my phone) only show up for SIM 1, does not show for SIM 2.
Attached are sample screenshots where the Settings are under SIM 1.
Steps to get there-
Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Click on SIM 1
All the way down, last Setting is "Wi-Fi Calls" to enable "Make calls using Wi-Fi".
Hope this helps.

Operators can disable this menu if they want to lock you onto Wifi preferred or cellular preferred. Does this only happen with this phone or does it also happen with the SIM in another Android phone?

There's a possibility of TMO-US not supporting WiFi calling on the Xiaomi 11T (Global), perhaps.
Although, I have been using various Unlocked phones (Nokia & Samsung) on TMO-US for the past few years & have practically never had issues with WiFi calling on any. Shall have to test it once I'm back. Won't be for some time.
Is your phone on the latest firmware? Try updating it to check if there's a new update available
which hopefully can solve your issue.
Couple of options to test, in case you have not already tested them-
a) leave WiFi Calling Enabled then disable the VoLTE feature and check if WiFi calling works?
b) disable Mobile Data, WiFi Calling enabled with WiFi connected and check if WiFi Calling works.
c) some users have had to ensure their E911 address is correctly in place on the TMO account too.

I had a working One Plus 6 - so I know TMO has VoWifi - I use it a lot due to poor reception at home .
The current workaround to force VoWIFI is
Turn On Airplane MOde
Turn ON WiFi only
then it works in VOWIFI with out any issues
I know I am missing a menu Item that can toggle this setting . I would prefer having that setting but its not a breaker for now . The phone works with all the Network features of TMO , LTE , 4G , 5G etc . No visual voicemail thats all.
Thanks

Same access issue here too.

Pinging to see if there is a soln. in future.
I have seen a few posts on wifi calling etc but I haven't seen the answer exactly... So sorry if this is an easy one.
I have a 10s with dual sim. I have free wifi calling on my service in the USA but am traveling in Mexico and paying for service there. Is it possible to enable my us sim with Wifi calling while keeping my Mexico sim enabled? Seems like I can do airplane mode but it is all or nothing it seems.
Thanks in advance for your help.

you must call your carrier to enable the roaming service and check is vowifi is enabled in roaming
Thanks for the reply - but vowifi is all set. the trouble I am having is getting 1 sim to be ON and the second sim in Airplane mode. I can disable the second sim but that greys out the vowifi toggle.
