I'm in NYC presently and using Tmobile. I'm using the samsung a70 with is amazing. But I also bought the mate 20X. I read that it doesnt have wifi calling and google map history and google pay dont work. I dont want to use a phone if it presents issues. My question... is this phone worth using? Will it be more of a headache?

If you want a powerful phone with a big screen, good camera, and big battery, nothing else comes close.
I used it with T-mobile in NJ and NYC without any problems, but I don't use the features you mentioned.

Hi btblue,
Thanks for the reply. But why are people complaining the phone lacks these features?
What version of mate 20X do you have? Do you have L29 version and do you have tmobile?

Hi.
I have EVR L29.
I have owned the phone since January and only with the recent update did the WiFi calling option appear for my carrier, Vodafone.
If I used an EE (T Mobile) or Three sim I would instantly have WiFi calling enabled.
Might be something to do with carrier settings?

I'm hoping the wifi calling works with ATT... Probably the biggest reason I'm "upgrading"from my 2 xl. Can someone post here if they find out?

I don't thik so....ATT did not want to carry Pixel 3a. And wifi calling does not work by ATT fault not google. So they will do the same for pixel 3a. But I can confirm once I get mine today.

This doesn't answer the ATT question but Verizon Wi-Fi calling works on the unlocked 3aXL from Best Buy. So maybe it'll work on ATT....hope so for you. It's a great phone
WiFi calling does work on the pixel 3 with ATT though, and that's not offered through them either

Results vary, apparently. Did you use a sim you already had, a new sim, or eSim to get your phone connected? I just ordered one from B&H, but won't ship until the 14th. AT&T wifi calling is the main reason I got this so I'm sort of tracking responses. It seems my Z3 Play is never going to get that feature. We do get wifi calling with our prepaid plan on the one iphone we have.

Thanks. If, by any chance, you lose those features (some have reported that happening, but more in the past and with phones NOT provisioned by AT&T), please let us (me) know. I felt secure enough to order the phone, so here's hoping it's all good.
I got my 3a XL today and wifi calling works perfect on my ATT service.
Confirmed as working on the 3a. VoLTE and wifi calling. Didn't have wifi calling before but was able to turn it on in settings and click through the att setup. Excited about this phone!
Also, posted at #410. That poster has prepaid (as do I). I'll open the box tomorrow morning then report my findings. :fingers-crossed:
Edit: It took persistence, but on the fourth try, BINGO!
WiFi calling failed during the first 24 hours with att Sim installed. After that period I tried again and it activated! Maybe they need to update imei in their system and then it works?

Has anyone tried to use this battery beast on Tmobile? Do you get VoLTE and Wifi Calling?
Thanks
I just got it yesterday and i'm running it on Tmobile and i'm getting ever so slightly better reception and call quality than my A71
I just swapped sims and i was off and running on the M51
So far I"m loving it.

Yep i have the wifi calling going
as for the Screen On Time, it's day 2 (46th hour to be exact) and i'm down to 29% right now after a full charge and completely setting the phone up adding apps and tweaking the settings for hours..
For some reason my SOT for yesterday was 8.5 hours.
so far this morning it's 45 min.
Oh i just noticed It listing 3 days 3.5 hours+8.5+.45min. so 12 hours and 45 min so far.
Is there anything different with software running on it, I should factor in? Have you tested apps like Google Pay?

So far I haven't noticed a difference from my A71 except that it's missing the side panel and photo cropping app.
Has for Google pay, I have no idea. I didn't use it on this phone or my A71

Have you run into any problems with the phone lacking Carrier Aggregation?
What LTE speeds do you get with using an app like Speed Test?
I read mixed things.

Hi, I just switched from a Mi Max 3 to a Mate 20X since ATT is removing 3G, and haven't had any luck finding or setting up VoLTE on my Mate 20X. I'm fully updated to EMUI 11 and the option simply doesn't exist to turn on VoLTE. I've tried setting up a new APN as well, with no luck.
How should I go about getting it working? As ATT locks down any lines that don't have VoLTE.
Aorus Mini-ITX RiG said:
It's been discussed this thing 20x.. You don't setup an volte on your phone firstly your mobile OP must support it then it will be auto enabled..

I did a lot of reading on these forums about that. I had called into ATT support last night and they said enabling VoLTE was something that they were unable to do for my IMEI on my line. To the point that ATT will actually lock my line out from even functioning once I try to get that device setup. Would I have to give them an IMEI for another device with VoLTE, have them unlock my line, and then put the sim card back in the Mate 20X?
Update on this, I tried a friends T-Mobile sim card in my phone and it worked with no issue. VoLTE started up completely fine. ATT is just being dumb with me when they say they can't activate VoLTE on the line.
So, would I need to bring in a completely different device with VoLTE and give them that IMEI. Then plop the sim card back in my Mate 20X?
Aorus Mini-ITX RiG said:
they are against huawei and they in purpose not enabling it ... so they lying to you...

No problems with that, switch to T-Mobile it is then. Heck even Google Fi or something like that.
I think they're telling me the device they see off of the IMEI isn't allowed, not blocking the IMEI or anything.

what made you stick with att all this time on the real t?
So, just today, my Mate 20X stopped making or receiving calls. Looks like ATT shut down 3G calling. Anyone on ATT in the US find a way to continue using the EVR-L29? Anyone get anywhere with ATT tech support on this issue? I REALLY want to continue using this phone. If not, anyone know of a suitable alternative of the same size (7+ inch screen) that is VOLTE enabled with the proper bands for ATT? Don't want a folding phone. Anything else out there? Thanks!

I have the same issue with my Mate 10 Pro. For the last few months I had to keep calling to keep my IMEI whitelisted. This might be the end of the line. I called ATT earlier and this time they said there was nothing they could do. They said the hard phase out started yesterday for non-voLTE. Data and text still work, just not voice. I'm hoping magically there's still a workaround, but I dunno anymore.

I hear ya. I'll let you know if I find any joy . They are sending me a new sim but a guy at the att store said it probably won't work. Wondering if there are Huawei phones that have VoLTE and USA bands this is the third time I've been squeeze out of a great phone due to tower upgrades. sucks
Good luck. I previously swapped sims with the ATT u304aa phone they gave me, and it didn't save me this week.
Problem solved!! Ditch ATT. Went to T Mobile after they sent me some stupid E sim card that wasn't even compatible with my device. They put in one of their sim cards into my phone and BOOM...just like that, my Mate 20X has VoLTE. Turns out ATT doesn't want to help people out.

Both tmo and att are corporate. But tmo is less corp and more people oriented than att.

The OnePlus 11 is fully certified to work on AT&T, including 5G. Only thing you won't have is mmwave as the 11 doesn't have mmwave.
OP 11 works on all major US carriers it's on the OP website.

No. ATT Support just had to enable it on my device (OP 7T).
AT&T is pretty hit or miss with OPlus in my experience. They forced me out of their network when I had a OnePlus 7 Pro. Told me to upgrade, gave me the 3G network nonsense. Bought the 10 Pro, called support, they enabled all the switches on their side... two weeks later they cut my service completely right after a billing cycle and I couldn't text, call, and didn't have data. They kept telling me **** like my phone wasn't certified or something for their network, a brand new device bought from best buy, lol. The gall.
For OPlus I would use T-Mobile, as that's their "licensed" vendor so even global, EU, or CN Oppo devices seem to work fine. But that's just my personal experience last year, perhaps others are different.

That used to be the case but not since the 10T. OnePlus is now officially certified for AT&T network (but only the 10T and 11). In the past though, it wasn't certified and AT&T loved to kick people off for using a non-certified phone. As far as T-Mobile though, yeah OnePlus devices fully work on their network without any nonsense. They also fully work on Verizon without any nonsense too.
