Info about best CSC for G988B - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hello to all!
I'm planning to change my phone CSC to a new one to have some extra function; i read that some csc can activate network speed on top bar, e-sim support, call recording and applock.
Anyone know what csc can enable all these locked function? i know that non european csc can activate call recording, but i'm looking for network speed meter and e-sim.
Thx for the answer
Edit: added applock to request.

esim can be activated if your phone comes with 2 IMEI numbers. If not forget about the esim. I switched to THL, it is the more convenient csc around with all the major features. I just miss the network speed and the shutter sound switch. Other than that it is fully loaded. But if you found one more complete I will be interested.

With csc THL I have unlocked voLTE and call recording. I already had esim, 5G, samsung pay. For speed meter I use a third party app, no big deal.

I know that a third party app can do same thing, but i think that is not same battery consuming. tecnically is an app that monitor the network speed everytime. instead if samsung ui show the value, should not consume same battery (i guess)

Honor 6X supports Dual card Dual standby

Honor 6X supports only dual card dual standby single pass, which means you cannot use both SIM cards for calls or data services simultaneously.
When you are on a call using SIM card 1, SIM card 2 cannot be used to make or answer calls. If someone calls SIM card 2, the caller will hear a voice message
similar to "The subscriber you dialed is out of the service area" or simlar to that depending on your service provider.
Similarly when you are using SIM card 1's data service, SIM card 2's data service will be disabled.
Why Single Pass ?
Honor 6X single pass feature helps reduce power consumption and increase the phone's standby time.

As you have mentioned JIO, I would like to confirm once whether you are using JIO voice app for outgoing call (LTE voice Call) ?
Bcos, while we are having outgoing call from JIO voice app, If we get any incoming call in 2nd SIM, the JIO data is disconnected which disconnects the call through it.
If we reject the call in that other SIM, then JIO network gets connected and JIO calls gets re-connected (If the intermediate time is less)

Agreed. just tested this..havent came across such situation earlier and got call only once when I was on call on Jio sim. Yes, I use jio4voice app as this is VOLTE phone but doesnt support the jio Volte yet (Chinese variant)

The same happens with my Honor 5X too. That's why confirmed.
Also, I need to know one thing. VoLTE is different for different networks or regions?

should be regions as bands are mostly the same in one region across different network.

Seems that the chinese variant supports B3 and B40 LTE. So now LTE is getting connected in JIO. But VoLTE doesn't work?

VOLTE work with Jio app only and not regular dialer...seems because its Chinese version and not compatible. heard that Letv also has same issue but was resolved with software update. once we have Indian version binaries out, we will try to upgrade and see.

So to have VoLTE, we need to purchase the device in the respective region. Right ?

AT&T wifi calling and VoLTE?

Will this be available for the Pixel 2 on AT&T?

Most likely not....I have the N6P and it doesn't for work for me. They basically refuse to provision an account with the enhanced services like wifi calling and volte if you didn't buy the phone from them. They are the only remaining carrier that I know of that doesn't allow use of the enhanced services when you BYOD.
I have a theory though.....if you get a phone that they sell that has the enhanced capabilities and have them turn the services on...then you swap out the Sim and put that Sim in your pixel 2xl it should work.....
I thought about doing it but I don't need wifi calling and the VoLte and enhanced sms only work if the person on the other end has the same carrier and capable phone and the features turned on....so didn't think it was worth it try try out.

It has to be a Google issue wether it's certifications or license issue. Someone much more in touch with how it all works would probably have a better answer. Purchased my wife's iPhone 8 unlocked (not carrier specific) from Apple directly not through AT&T. Her WiFi calling works. I'm also on the 6P and upgrading to Pixel 2XL even if it doesn't work? I guess I could try to put her sim into my phone when I get it.

Trust me...I have researched this extensively. I forgot to mention and serveral several rep confined this..... the only non att branded device they allow to use thier enhanced services is the iPhone bought straight from apple....no Android phones.
Yeah pixel 2 xl not working with enhanced voice. From what I heard the only reason it works with the iPhone is because Apple sets their own rules not the carriers. I think it's crap what they do. Verizon services usually work fine and tmobile works great too but coverage is spotty. I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and love the coverage just miss being able to buy unlocked phones that will work with volte mainly don't really care for Wi-Fi calling.

When you place a call does it still drop to HSPA though?
Would you be willing to place a call and provide a screenshot? I'm really hoping att enabled this.

If you call AT&T and get them to provision your IMEI for HD calling, it does indeed work.
EDIT: I should also add, your SIM card serial number last two digits (digits 9 and 10) MUST be greater than 27.
If they are not, you will need to get a new SIM card from AT&T.

Mine stays on LTE !
Go into the 4636 menu and see if it's provisioned. It was for me on vz. If it is, go into contacts and press on the 3 dots in the upper right corner. In the settings tab, there is a toggle for wifi calling.
I can confirm that VoLTE works. I contacted AT&T Tech Support this morning and specifically requested for them to update the IMEI # and provision VoLTE (HD Calling). I placed a test call and it sounded great, and stayed on LTE.
Additionally, I requested they Provisioned Wi-Fi calling. The Tech advised the Pixel 2 XL is not compatible but said he provisioned it on the line anyway. I don't think it's working though since it doesn't show that it's provisioned on the device information.

Here you go, see the HD in the screenshot, and yes, Wi-Calling still DOES NOT work. The AT&T Tech was kind to provision it anyway, maybe Google needs to turn it on as well.

That would be the middle digits then right? My SIM card is 20 digits, but digits 9 and 10 are 27.

if you physically look at the SIM, there is 2 rows of 10 digits, the top row, last 2 digits.
Yours should be fine,
I didnt check on 8.0, but I also didnt see the volte setting in advanced, so Im guessing it is only 8.1 right now.

Ahhh ok. Yeah my top row on my SIM card ends with 27. I already had AT&T swap my IMEI on the SIM card since I moved it to my P2 XL from my old Pixel XL. I guess I'll have to ask them to provision VoLTE on my account now too.

I'm giving this a shot too considering they're advertising the welcoming of the Pixel 2 lineup. It's simply all about whitelisting so they should make this happen!
https://www.att.com/plans/google-pixel.html
The hardware obviously allows it. It's just a matter of AT&T adding the IMEI to their advanced calling lists.
Got them to add this to my account and I'm good to go. I wonder if we'll ever get WiFi calling

VoLTE not funcional with S9 Exynos

Hi there, greetings from Brazil. I just purchased a Samsung S9 SM-960F (XEF) from France, running Exynos. I am being able to use it here (Brazil) with 4G, both sim cards, however VoLTE calls are not active. I have it selected on networks settings and my sim card activates it on my wife's S10e. It seems that the issue is somehow related to the device. Is there any setting or procedure that needs to be done in order to activate it? I have already hard reseted the device and it is still not working.

voLTE is something that is carrier dependent and can sometimes need provisioning in the telephony switch. Could be as simple as that particular line not having it enabled on an account level. It could very easily be a firmware thing too. My carrier offers voLTE but i lost that option in my settings menu when i flashed the U1 firmware. I bet it would come back if i flashed an at&t firmware set tho even tho im using an at&t mvno
It is carrier dependent. I have a dual SIM Exynos S9 here in the US. I have a Mint SIM (T-Mobile MVNO) in one slot and VoLTE & Wi-Fi calling work just fine. The other SIM is a Cricket SIM (AT&T MVNO) and, of course, there is no VoLTE or Wi-Fi calling on that line. Cricket only supports those features in phones they sell and, of course, iPhones.
Yeap, I got the point that VoLTE is carrier dependent. The issue is that my Brazilian Carrier (VIVO) does support VoLTE in my region and I was able to confirm it by inserting my simcard in my wife´s smartphone (Samsung S10e). I have been reading some articles and threads about CSC and other stuff, like firmware flashing. As I told, my device is a S9 SM-G960, with XEF (France) firmware version installed on it.

if the S10e is allowing voLTE, then it has the firmware built in for voLTE which might be particular to the the S10's, but thats something for the S10 forums. Regarding the S9, it needs the carriers firmware in order to utilize the voLTE feature

EVR-L29 Enable VoLTE

Is it possible to enable VoLTE when it's not enabled by default. I just bought this phone and I don't see the setting.

However, it must be supported by your Provider, otherwise it will not be displayed.

It worked on OnePlus 8 which I previously had. So I think sim card is not a problem
I have a Mate 20 with the same issue. VoLTE doesn't works on T-Mobile and is a software issue related to Huawei. Lots of people are having the same issue:
I Just made a post on Huawei Forums for see if we can report the issue. The more the people reports that increases the chances that this can be fixed:
​
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/community/details/topicId_120349/
Anyone get any clarity on this issue? I have AT&T in the United States and my IEMI was targeted for shut off today. After going a few rounds, they turned it back on but told me there was no way to prevent future pre-emptive shut offs because me EVR-L29 does calling over 3G which sends an automatic kill message. Further, as many have described, there is no switch to enable VoLTE in my settings. Are there other larger (7" plus) Chinese phones that are 4G LTE calling? Is there a way to address this issue with the EVR-L29? Thanks.

I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra, and when I bought it I was on a Verizon MVNO (Pageplus), I had VOLTE but not Wifi Calling (no sign of it)
I then switched to T-Mobile and I then had Wifi Calling available to me in the settings that were not there before.

What you can do is check your carrier and see if they support it. But if you have volte you should have vowifi..

Does the exynos version support VoLTE & wifi calling? My Greek carrier offers them.
