Hi, does anyone have the XT2013-2 and can you confirm if it has VoLTE and VoWiFi?
YES!
Yup, it supports both.... Although do check with your Carrier once as well..... If you are an Indian user, then currently Jio and Airtel supports it.

Thanks for the confirmation. I typed in an IMEI from a XT2013-1 model and T-Mobile (United States) stated that VoLTE was not supported. I guess I would need to get the IMEI of a XT2013-2 in order to fully confirm.

XT2013-2 is the international version, if I'm not mistaken...? Getting a device from another region will most likely not work, since support is added on the OS level. Since the OS is slightly different, the support is also different. So there's a pretty high chance that it will not work, since that particular carrier has not been added to that particular version of the OS.
With that being said, VoLTE and VoWIFI (aka WiFi Calling) are generally supported on the XT2013. And I can personally confirm they are supported on the XT2013-2.
BUT:
1. support for each carrier is software dependent. So the fact that it works for my carrier doesn't mean it will automatically work for yours, especially if we're not living in the same region (EU for example)
2. the phone won't enable VoLTE and VoWIFI if the carrier doesn't support these services to begin with (which I think is quite obvious).
3. I'm pretty new to this VoLTE and VoWIFI thing, too, but, assuming the carrier does support those services on their side, they also need to enable them on your account. This is usually done by activating it on the SIM card. Once that's done, and if the OS supports those services for that particular carrier, the options should be activated automatically (usually VoLTE is turned ON by default) or at least made available in Setting (in the case of Wifi Calling). So you can turn them on for yourself.
So, support for VoLTE and VoWIFI is a combination of carrier and manufacturer collaboration. Can't work one without the other.

Thanks for the info. Would either of you be able to enter your IMEI into the T-Mobile checker to see what it displays in terms of functionality? Just looking for results of what is supported/what isn't.
https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone
Also, how do you like the One Action? The only reason I want to get the global version is because I want the Android One program. The XT2013-4 from the United States is not the Android One version, and I know how slow Motorola is for regular updates.
Where did you get that model# from? The only place I can find the phone is on Amazon and the "manufacture reference" is pagl0001us.
Also where did you read the XT2013-4 is not part of the Android One program? Everything I've read has said all models were part of the program and fully compatible with T-Mobile, including Motorola's own website.
The variant is on the box. The XT2013-4 in the United States is the single SIM version that also supports CDMA networks. It is not Android One.

It doesn't show anything in my case. Either there's a bug with their site, or...I don't know. It just spins the loading animation for a fraction of a second and that's it. No info provided.
Also, if you can, try to Edit your posts rather than always creating new ones. It's easier to read and follow, in my opinion. Just a suggestion.
So far so good. I like my One Action. The updates are really not that fast. That would probably be my only "complaint". But other than that, I'm pretty happy with it. Of course, your milage may vary. ) Since it depends on your expectation and your specific use case.
I don't expect it to make me french fries in the morning. It's a mid-range phone and the software definitely helps. Battery life it's been pretty good for me, too. I usually get 2 days out of it with moderate use. And three days with low usage. Anyway, if you're a heavy user, you should get at least a full day out of it.

Except for the Camera quality, everything is quite decent. However, if you're more into flashing recoveries and custom ROMs then you'll be left disappointed, considering it has Exynos chipset. And for the same reason, it quite difficult to get hold of a working GCam, with even basic functionalities.
Moreover, Android One is the major factor why I went ahead with this device. However, half of Feb has passed, and we are still stuck on December Security Patch! All in all, nothing's going right for Moto One Action at this moment
EDIT: @diggyphil Sorry for the late reply.. I tried entering the IMIE on the t-mobile site, but it doesn't show anything whatsoever..just load and refresh and it repeats the process.

Nah, I was thinking of just having this one as a backup. I have a OnePlus 7 Pro that is my daily driver, which will be a very difficult breaking up period when it happens (it's an amazing phone)! I had the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite as my backup phone, and it seemed to get updates every 1.5-2 months. I think they advertise Android One as monthly updates, but in actuality it is more like every 2 months.
Any chance you could validate your IMEI on the T-Mobile website and see what information it displays about the service? https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone
Is there a secret code to turn on or off VoWifi on Motorola One?
There might be. And even if there isn't there are apps and ways to get access to that specific setting.
BUT, short answer is: if your carrier supports it, and if it's baked into the OS, you'll see the option anyway. If it's not there for you, it means you can't turn it on. And even if you try to force it, it would still not work, since it needs support from both the carrier and the manufacturer.

The strange thing for me was that VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling do not work on XT2013-2 with Telekom.de (Germany) on reteu firmware. I have checked on my mother's phone, which is the same model and it also does not show the options.
After flashing mine to RETAIL 10.0 firmware instead of reteu, both work out of the box.

In my case however, with the same firmware (but different country and carrier), I lost both Volte and Vowifi after flashing. The options are there. They just don't do anything. So...lucky you! )

Does it have carrier aggregation in jio and airtel?
Hi all,
I have a Google pixel 6 pro. It's rooted.
I'm using Telekom as provider in Germany.
With my phone before vowifi worked, so my contract allows it. I also contacted the provider and from their side everything should work.
I already changed the XML in the phone app to be able to select, that wlan call is prefered.
But wlan call doesn't work. Also if I activate airplane mode and use wlan only, I can't call. I only get the message "turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless lan"... But I'm connected to wlan (tried 3 different wlans)
With *#*#4636#*#* I can see wifi calling is provisioned.
Any idea?
I'm using the newest update.
Thanks
The same thing here in denmark.
Works if i use, the magisk volte script. I use it because celluar network are poor where i live.
If i use it without root "stock" no ims register, and get not sim error and no s ervice very fast, but pixel are not sold in denmark, so we are pretty much getting the finger from google, they dont care!!
it is a great phone, but have never had this kind of celluar problems before, consider of leaving the pixel for an S22 instead.
And yes just root it, but i dont need root, it gives some other problems.
after the new july update it's working for me

I love anything else about my Pixel 6 Pro, but this kills my love for the pixel.. And cannot belive the stupidness of google for doing this kind of things for the users.. i have had samsung, sony, oneplus and so on with same subscription for years and have always worked out of box with all phones until pixel 6. and yes the do not sell pixel in denmark, but come on, it is proven technology for years and standard, there shuld be expeced to work no matter what..

Yesterday I updated the device to July release, at least I thought it. I got in a boot loop after installing it and the system reverted to the old version itself. So now I'm on the last month patch but voice over Wi-Fi is working. I don't have a clue why it is working now

Im on Golobal build to see if it changes anything, but is the same as on EMEA build, but the version of carrier settings are the same as for many android builds (default34000000048 2021-09-30) it is pretty clear that google are showing unsupported countries the finger.
But put it for sale yesterday, give up on this device, if i use it rooted, it give problems with apps for personal identification, personal health apps and misc witch are running aggressive root detection, so it not worth it.
Got rid of the device today for, an OnePlus 10 Pro and alle tings are working now
Pixel.. Never again..
So, I recently moved to a new home out in the country, and where I live, I have no cell reception. I do have Starlink\, so I have WiFi. I have service through Good2Go Mobile, which is an AT&T MVNO, and I have confirmed that they do offer VoWiFi support for the 7T. However, the option to turn it on does not even appear in the system menu. It is not that it does not work, it is that the option to even turn it on is found nowhere in the menu system. My phone is fully updated to all the latest of all software. I have contacted OnePlus support and talked to the trained monkeys there, but the stupid responses I get from them just makes me want to try to jump to another place in the multiverse. It is basically a game of "Pass the buck" now. Good2Go says it is OnePlus's issue to fix, and OnePluse says it is Good2Go's issue to fix.
I tried posting on the OnePlus community support forums, but it appears that OePlus has done away with those since I last posted there. Par for the course for a company that has stopped caring about user feedback.
Anyway, does anyone know what I can do here? As of now, I have my friends and family contacting me via WhatsApp, but last week I missed a very important freight delivery because they could not call me to confirm delivery. American companies are so far behind in the technology district. I can call and book flights, hotels, and do other forms of business in most 3rd world countries on Whatsapp, but not in America, they do not even know what it is. Stick in the mud "Telephone call ONLY" in America. God forbid you should ask them to TEXT you. LOL!
Wow! Absolutely no help here.

Your 7T can be converted to global. Go here and find the thread that fits
https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/oneplus-7t-guides-news-discussion.9252/
it is time consuming, but not difficult. Search /ask in that forum if you run into a problem. Just be aware that this is a fairly old phone and the fora aren't as active as they used to be
But you still might not get vowifi to enable. It really does depend on the carrier. For example VZW WILL NOT authorize a phone to use vowifi on their network unless it was bought through them.

I am Good2Go Mobile, and they don't sell their own phones. all phones are BYO. They have authorized the phone for VoWIFI. My phone is getting more and more unstable. I got four Crashdumps today. So, at this point, either it is software or hardware. If it is software, maybe converting it to global will fix it and get me VoWIFI. If it is hardware, then converting to global will not fix the problem, and I will have to upgrade anyway.
I bought the 7T just for the camera, which has lived up to my greatest expectations. It really is a great camera. If I am going to upgrade, what would be a phone you would suggest that has a great camera that is a least two years old. Yes, I know the lastest and greatest phones have great cameras, but I am not that rich. I am content with using phones a couple gens back and saving a thousand dollars of the sticker price.

I can hear some of other users' news about A12 update while mine's not,

But no one tells about the experience itself

Same retail US as well, hopefully get it ASAP🥹

Yay, I just got the A12 update on my US Retail version.
Yep. Came through Cricket Wireless for me.
I got the Android 12 update about two months ago (November 2022) in the US on Mint Mobile.
5G stopped working AS SOON AS THE UPDATE COMPLETED and restarted because unknown to me, the carrier network settings were not set for "NR" networks and did not get set properly through the update.
Mint Moile tehncal support connected me directly to Motorola Technicians who had absolutely no idea what to do, it was not in their scripts. They wanted to "repair" my Razr 5G for $966 USD when the current new retail is around $500 USD. After a full factory reset as recommended by Motorola tech support, and having no apps loaded, still no 5G., leaving me to then restore everything back on my phone from various backups, because Motorola's RSA is garbage.
Anyway, a guy on the Motorola / Lenovo forum queued me into the Phone Test menu command sequence, I enabled the NR networks and 5G started instantly and I have not had an issue since.

ABSOLUTELY!!
Since the Motorola Tech Forum decided that fixes sharing the keystroke codes to their products are not ALLOWED on their forum.
Make sure you are in a 5G signal area.
Enter *#*#4636#*#* in the phone dialer which should immediately display the "Testing" screen,. That initial sequence is one of many standard Andriod code sequences for accessing just about everything in Android.
Touch "Phone Information".
Touch the "Set Preferred Network Type"
A list of all the network types available should then display.
First note the network that is currently selected in case setting back is needed for operations.
For me it was recommended I then select "NR Only". The phone immediately went into 5G mode, then automatically selected the network with the NR features combination as shown for all my other signal compatibility.
Try it WITH caution, NO GUARANTEES you won't brick your device. If it works, great.
I am not sure why this is not in the standard troubleshooting scripts from the Agents or the Motorola Tech Support, but I'll bet it has something top do with getting a $1000 repair order than actually providing good customer service.
I think you just got super lucky. Most carriers have that lock out where you can't make any changes. It took me two months of reaching out to Cricket to get 5g working on the razr. An actually carrier settings provision update had to be created and sent out to all Razr on Cricket network to enable the feature.

No, that was all deliberate planning.
The primary reason I left, no RAN AWAY from Verizon, and any other "carrier restricted" phone: far too much restriction on what I could run on my smartphone.
The final Verizon straw was when they told me my new phone, the Verizon 2019 Razr at that time, was 5G compatible with their Verizon 5G networks, which they knew did not work at a corporate level, that was the last straw after digging into the technical specifications and discovering the Verison branded phone radio did not support the correct Verizon 5G Verizon frequency installations. I had been with Verizon since it was known as Airtouch in the late 1980's when I had an analog bag phone.
I returned that 2019 Razr phone for a full refund and quit the can-you-hear-me-now network.
No more carrier locked/ carrier frequency restricted phones for me ever again.
I started the search for only all band, fully unlocked phone models so I and my other family members would have full flexibility of my settings and carriers and had coverage where I needed it using other networks towers.
I will never buy anything other than an all band retail unlocked phone again, nor will I use a service that does not support an unlocked retail version of my preferred phone.
All I would have gotten from Verizon would have been "we are sorry your phone does not work as expected, would you like to buy another one for three times the price and we can give you a $50 trade-in as a loyal customer because that phone does not work - er- is not supported on our network !?"
As consumers we can take our business elsewhere.
So, Yes, I got my moto razr 5g XT2071-3 directly from the Motorola website, unlock. But each carriers, and each mvno have the ability to lock or enable certain settings on the phone through the carriers settings version. If you go to Settings, Network, Mobile Network you will see a carrier setting version number. Each provider will have a different number. This is to enable features like 5g, wifi calling, hotspot, hd-calling. ect.
Hello,
I'm a foreigner living in China and I'm very interested in the OP11. I noticed that the Chinese version doesn't mention the eSim on OP Chinese website, but that the international version has dual sim + eSim. To be fair I never see any Chinese version of phones with eSim.
I was wondering if once we switch the OP11 Chinese version to Oxygen OS, does the eSim is activated? Can you see it in the settings? Is that working?
Thanks in advance.

eSim requires a hardware component and I assume that it's not installed in the Chinese version to save money. So even if you had the option on a converted unit, it probably won't work

Incorrect. It's built into the SoC now. They started it with Snapdragon 888 (and OnePlus didn't activate that one either).

Thanks for your reply guys. I guess we need to wait for more development on the OP11 to discover if the eSim can or cannot be activated.
I remember when I had the OP5, at that time it was only 1 hardware version of phone, but just the software that changed.

My Chinese Oneplus 11 comes with "ORoaming", it let's you to "purchase international data packages without a SIM card", that sounds like eSim to me.

They've had this since at least the OnePlus 9. They never allowed anyone to actually use it for anything other than that stupid roaming though.

As far as I know Chinese carriers haven't introduce eSim yet except for Apple watches, eSim would be of no use to most Chinese customers. At least the hardware is there, my guess is you will get fully functional eSim after converting to OxygenOS.

Now that they have added eSIM support to US models, I would suspect that the software will activate it, but don't quote me on that, and also the process of converting regions is much more dangerous now that there is no MSM Tool available so people who plan to do this should also be prepared to have to fork out cash to have the phone repaired in case they brick it.
Plus, I forget which thread mentioned this- some US bands missing on Chinese versions

More than that.
My post in another thread:
It's missing B71 as well as n71 and n25 which means poor performance on T-Mobile. It is likely missing 3.45GHz n77 as well because there's no reason to certify that on a Chinese device and T-Mobile is preparing to deploy that at the end of the year.
It's missing B13 which means no Verizon support. The omission of mmWave significantly impacts many larger Verizon markets too.
It's missing B14, B29, B30 as well as their 5G counterparts and likely is missing 3.45GHz n77 as well as mentioned above but unlike T-Mobile, AT&T has already been deploying this as a number of their markets they can't use the rest of their n77 holdings until 2024 (mine included).
Anyone buying these phones for US use will definitely experience problems.

Yes.
My mobile provider's app recognises that the phone supports eSIM but I haven't gone through the steps to test it actually works.
I can toggle the eSIM on/off in settings too. When I turn it on, it disables the physical SIM in slot 2.
I might have another play around with it later on and see if I can sign up to another phone provider, in the name of testing the functionality haha
Ok, so I've tried to set up eSIM on the converted China version and it doesn't work.
While the option enables and shows as a device feature, tapping on the Add button does nothing.
I'd say the hardware is disabled on the China version.

switching to OOS can solve the region block problem? As I am not in a region-lock country, I cannot tell other users.
