Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Global (9.6.7.0) Freedom Mobile LTE?

Hello
I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the Global version the Mi Max 3. Did i make a mistake of purchasing a Freedom Mobile LTE incompatible phone? Or it should be asking myself whether this is really the Global Version?
Boot-loader seems locked, box in proper English with UK adapter, that makes me think its the Global version.
When i put my sim card in Data works, SMS works, but no phone calls in or out, even tho in the Network options Freedom is fully detected as the HOME network.
Any ideas?

I bought one exactly the same, in the same version of global Miui (9.6.7.0) and had no problem at all. In the box that came your device is written on the side "global version"?

No, I'm in Brazil and here are other operators. These are the bands that the unit has:
2G bands GSM 850/900/1800/1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
CDMA 800 & TD-SCDMA
3G bands HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100
4G bands - LTE band 1 (2100), 3 (1800), 4 (1700/2100), 5 (850), 7 (2600), 8 (900), 20 (800), 34 (2000), 38 (2600 ), 39 (1900), 40 (2300), 41 (2500)
See if your operator has the machine's bands.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news my friend but yes, you did just buy a phone incompatible with Freedom Mobile as I just did the same lol. Yes, messaging and data does work but you'll never get phone calls to work. I was wondering if it was worth sticking with Freedom anyways because of the deals but in the end I decided to switch over to Fido which works fine with the Mi Max 3. Also the version I have is def the Global Version (9.6.7.0) as I checked on the official website.

Haha yeah closure def makes things easier to handle. Tbh the phone is good enough that if you don't make a lot of phone calls it's still worth it but the problem for me is that in order to unlock your bootloader you need to get permission from Xiaomi. In order to get permission you need to have your device linked with your Mi Account. And in order to to that a confirmation text has to be sent (think Whatsapp). However, even tho you can send a text normally this automatic one fails to send on the Freedom network. So basically if you want to do any rooting whatsoever you'll need a SIM from somewhere like Rogers or Fido which ended up being the deciding factor for me aha.
If you have no plans on rooting then you should be fine :good:

Your phone should connect on LTE band 4 with Freedom Mobile. Mine connects flawlessly on LTE bands 4 and 7 with Telus.

7T VoLTE works, no Vowifi / wifi calling on Verizon

I purchased my 7T (model HD1905) online in October of 2019 directly from OnePlus. The phone is absolutely amazing and functions perfectly except it is not able to perform basic WiFi functions such as text or make phone calls. I work in the medical industry as a tech in a hospital laboratory. The laboratory is located in the basement of the hospital where I am unable to receive my carrier's (Verizon) signal. Hence, I am unable to use the aforementioned wifi functionalities and certain apps on the hospital's excellent broadband WiFi (2.4GHz / 5GHz). During this busy & intense time of the COVID-19 epidemic, the ability to effectively use my phone's apps and calling functionality over WiFi is vital and an absolute necessity.
In the past I have used an original Google Pixel (unlocked) and also my daughter's $60 (the cost a couple years ago) Samsung that I bought on eBay to flawlessly make phone calls and perform the functions that the OnePlus 7T is unable to achieve.
My question is:
Is it likely that OnePlus is going to roll out a fix for vowifi / WiFi calling for the OnePlus 7T on Verizon, the largest US wireless carrier? I see that Verizon now carries the OnePlus 8 having this desired wifi functionality and needless to say, I feel cheated. OnePlus is supposed to be synonymous with high tech and deemed as "A flagship killer". Will OnePlus develop a fix for the 7T's WiFi limitations / inabilities or should people that purchased a 7T resort to buying a $50 phone on eBay to fulfill the 7T's shortcomings? Though Samsung is more expensive, it seems overall to be fully functional on the majority of wireless carriers.
I appreciate any thoughts or insights.
Regards,
wantin2mod

I could only get mobile phone calls to work with VZW. No texting, and no VoWIFI. I am trying an AT&T sim for a couple of months to see if I can get service in most of the areas that VZW has worked in my area. I have not proven if VOWIFI in AT&T works yet, as I was not in an area with no service and Wifi yet. To me this phone is a total fail with VZW, but I think it is more their fault than OnePlus.

In a nutshell; The issue is with Verizon not Oneplus. The necessary hardware and software is on the phone, but Verizon hasn't authorized wi-fi calling for the 7 series, claiming security concerns, and it does not appear they will. Verizon allows Wi-Fi calling/SMS for the 8 because they sell a Verizon version of that phone; my understanding is that they don't allow wi-fi calling for non-Verizon branded 8's either.
You can't buy a Verizon branded 7T so Verizon has no incentive to allow the 7T to use that feature on their network. The alternative is to get a VOIP number from Google, Skype, et al and set up a SIP account under calling accounts in the dialer

For Verizon, you need to call them and enable CDMAless provisioning in order to get texting to work. VoWifi.... we are basically up ****s creek without a paddle. This is on Verizon and not a OnePlus issue as the 7t is whitelisted to prevent it from gettting VoWifi and LTE Video calling.
I fought with them for a week and finally was able to get them to trigger VoWifi, but there is something universally blocking this feature on Verizon's network unfortunately. They triggered and I even tried the logkit...no dice.

What about with MetroPCS? I have issues with WiFi calling as well. When WiFi is on it even tells me, "Mobile network is not available. Connect to a wireless network to make a call."

I called Verizon and they told me the features were enabled for my phone. So I called OnePlus and they said their OS detects the carrier and blocks VoWiFi if it's not T-Mobile

Question LE2120 unlock 5G EU Bands

Hi,
my wife bought a brand new Oneplus 9 Pro as a present for me from Ebay.
They say that is "European International Version", infact it runs Oxygen OS 11.2.6.6.LE15BA.
A few days after receiving the gift I asked my operator (Fastweb) to enable 5G because it doesn't Work. They say that 5G is enabled by default, so i inserted my SIM card in a friend's Samsung S21 and... all was ok.
After some research I realized that they had sold her the Chinese version that supports only few 5G bands (not the italian of course) flashed with the EU ROM.
Now the question is: it's possible to unlock missing 5G frequencies?
I tried to modify carrier policy.xml, but with no results.
Pls, help me.

No you can't, hardware (I mean including non-flashable memory) is completely different.

Completely different?

No you are wrong it is not hardware. All use same snapdragon with the same modem inbuilt. So it can be fixed.

But...

Technically it's the same hardware, but the bands are baked into the baseband firmware and not user modifiable. Messing with carrier_policy isn't gonna change that. Unfortunately OP is SOL, hopefully it's still a good 4G device for you. Here is from mt-tech (author of the qtsp article)
This instruction only allow enable/disable 4G Carrier Aggregation & 5G EN_DC combinations and band support if hardware support it. If hardware doesn’t support, you can’t enable/disable band. Example OnePlus 8 (China) 5G doesn’t work in USA even it support n41 (T-Mobile/Sprint) band because it doesn’t support 4G anchor band used in USA.

We see this all the time, where Chinese OP devices are sold by 3rd parties cheaper but does not support everything and then people complain.

And it's possible to flash a different baseband?

The "baseband" you flash (non-hlos / modem.img) should be treated more like a driver for the hardware you are running. Technically it's more complicated than that since it handles the low level modem stuff prior to Android. There is no (known?) way to modify the actual firmware by the end user.

Oh... I remember that on the old S3 it could be done. If the hardware is the same we could try.
But it pains me to think that we have been scammed, that my wife threw a month's salary away and that I find myself with a neutered device.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully it's within the seller's return period. It's usually a caveat emptor kinda thing, the listing will usually tell you exactly which base model it is and the bands listed. If the seller misrepresented the device as a LE2123, then you can probably dispute it. Otherwise, most sellers offer a return period with a restocking fee.
AFAIK, the older device's modem img is actually the entire baseband and not non-hlos, so it can drive the entire modem.

First of all thanks for understanding.
So, do you know where to find the img and how to flash?
In the meantime, I try to contact the seller: luckily I haven't removed the protective plastics.

The Global ROM (AA) has the global non-HLOS, EU (BA) has theirs, etc. You can extract them from the OOS full update images, but like I've said, it's not gonna make a difference.

Hum... I will try.
Do you know if there is a standard procedure to do this?

I had LE2120 Chinese on AA version, no volte no 5g

In the first post you can find my modified subscriptions.xml, but i think the problem is at the firmware level.

Are you getting 5G in Zain KW? Even I get 5g in preferred network type. But when I select the option, I see the same image as highlighted. there is no option to select 5G

Just to clarify, i see this:
but no 5G connection in signal status.
Once again: i'm in 5G zone and my operator (Fastweb IT) supports 5G by default for all customers.

This is the result of scan. As you can see, no 5G networks can be found.

Question Does pixel 6 pro work on 5G in non official countries?

I'm thinking about buying and using the 6 pro to travel. Will the unlocked 6 pro get 5G outside the official countries where google sells the device, on networks that are 5G (and where the pixel has the bands)?

Unfortunately, it currently does not. I'm sending daily messages to support in my phone settings about it, probably it won't help, but at least I can spam as much as I want.
People don't talk about it enough for google to get off its ass and finally do something about it

I do not believe you will get either 5G or volte outside of the 8 or 9 official countries where the pixel was launched. So it really depends where you go. Saying that, I sold my pixel 6 pro so you would need to have someone else answer this as perhaps it changed in the last update

the google pixel forums have hundreds of posts from people saying they are using a Pixel 6 in a country where it isnt offically sold and they have no 5G or VoLTE.

Guys read this https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...0.1172458839.1642336754-1276989149.1628205188
What I read from this is the the Pixel 6 is much more limited to the 5G offering, where as the 6 Pro generally covers both 5G offerings. So if you got your phone from UK, it does not support mmWave, if your provider in Poland is this then your out of luck, you could try sending your phone back and choosing a carrier or country that support both then you could be in luck.

USA market VoLTE with 3G deprecation: are Xiaomi phones usable (10T Lite, in particular)?

Hi,
I'm in the USA using Tracfone. I recently purchased this phone (end of last year).
I rooted it. I installed the Sakura ROM. I had an understanding that there might be "some assembly required" with a custom ROM & I am mostly happy with it.
But recently I have started getting messages from Tracfone, "Tracfone: Your service is at risk! Your phone will stop working 2/22.".
This appears to be coming from the underlying carrier, AT&T, and relates to the 3G deprecation. VoLTE is supported by the phone and in the ROM but it seems this phone is not in AT&T's whitelist of allowed phones after 3G deprecation. This seems to be related to supported bands (this phone supports a great number of them but perhaps not ones useful to connect to AT&T).
Are there any workarounds for this? I could get a T-Mobile SIM from Tracfone but I am guessing I am going to have exactly the same problem from them?
Can any of these phones even be used after the deprecation of 3G has been done by all the major carriers?
Am I missing something?
I would love to be able to actually use this phone.

Ouch. Didn't think that would happen so fast.
I actually double checked to be sure my phones are white listed by AT&T.
See what other carriers say because I don't think there's a work around for AT&T especially if the bands aren't supported.
Maybe advanced tech support would have a suggestion or fix you could use. Some of the agents will go out of their way to help, some are duds. As always use Google search...

well afaik, you've only got 3 options
1. spoof the imei and make it look like a supported phone. not sure if i can talk about the specifics here and even if i could, it'd be a pita even for me to do it
2. find another carrier who doesnt whitelist phones
3. use voip apps like google voice to bypass the volte problem

Don't think the first option would work because it's the configuration and/or hardware that's the problem not the brand.
AT&T makes big bucks selling cell service so I doubt they turn down your business if your phone was compatible.

Not blocked may mean it can be used for data only or it's not blacklisted?
What's it say for the expanded explanations?

well most xiaomi phones dont really work too good over here in the us because of missing bands with the exception of the mi mix series.
this pretty much explains the situation

the only 2 carriers that look like it would work fine with are cspire (which i've never heard of) or gci wireless (also never heard of)

I ordered the T-Mobile SIM from Tracfone. I figured that worst case was that I am down $1.00 & will be left without a working phone (until I have access to an old backup phone in a few weeks that will probably work —Moto G6 Play); vs. by default being left without a working phone in a few days if I did nothing (until I have access to the old backup).
It looks like it was allowed. The only hitch was that transferring my phone number (from using the AT&T SIM to using the T-Mobile SIM) took a bunch of hours. I even have VoLTE enabled (which appeared not to be possible with the AT&T SIM —and I assume is the only way this phone will work after the switch, if at all).
I imagine the coverage may be spotty given the poor coverage in the supported bands but I may be OK with that for now (probably depends on how spotty spotty really is and where). I'm sure it might be one of those YMMV things (and one that could change in the immediate future?).
