Check that it's turned on in your My Vodafone account:

XZ1 on Project Fi Working

I came from a Nexus 5X on Fi and wanted to make it known that I had zero issues running service on my Xperia. As long as you have the app installed and the sim card in everything will work as intended. Fi will claim that the phone cannot be used for service but most likely the phone will only use TMobile if it's unable to truly switch between networks, which is fine. When sending messages in Hangouts it'll note "Sent via Google Voice". Calls over WiFi and cell work well. Couldn't say I've tested out switching between cell and wifi but I would assume Android takes care of that.
One important thing to note as far as I know you will not be able to start Fi service on an Xperia you must have a Google phone or the Moto X4 to activate a Sim card.

So if I understand it right, this is essentially the T-Mobile network (less volte) for Google Fi pricing/plan, correct?

For the most part, plus you get the great functionality of being able to use Hangouts for calling and texting from any device. It's basically Google Voice with T-Mobile cell service. From my experience though where I live I almost exclusively seemed to be using T-Mobile every time I checked when I was on my Nexus. Fi doesn't seem to activate the VoLTE option, nor does it for wifi calling in the Android Dialer. I am on the international version firmware however so that may be part of the issue. Using Hangouts Dialer for calls does work however over both cell and wifi.
Also forgot to mention, all the APNs and everything were already set up when I put my SIM in prior to the first start. Looking around in the mobile networks menu it seems Android and/or Sony's software is capable of switching preferred networks automatically.
so how has ProjectFi bee nworking for you on your xz1 compact?

Location sharing services enabled with EMUI 10.1 on Huawei Mate 20 X AL00

Yes you read it right
Location sharing services enabled with EMUI 10.1 on Huawei Mate 20 X AL00
On 13th June I shared this here

OMG! Another major update in just under 15 days. :good:
Huawei Mate 20 X AL00 India Software update 10.1.0.160 4.41 GB with May 2020 Security Patch.

Problem with the speakers are already taken care (up to 95% of the output when compared to out-of-box EMUI 9).
I was casually checking the Location Sharing option in Google Maps & Android Auto and Voila!!! I was dumbfound. The option is there. Same as my Mi Max 2. Location Sharing option was the only thing separating EVR-AL00 from EVR-L29.
Please find the attached screenshots.

For me it was not available till mid May. Then it suddenly came late June when I checked.
Now the only thing remaining is Location History which anyway I'm not using.

Question Supplementary services

Hi all,
Some months earlier, I was able to use call forwarding on my airtel SIM in galaxy F62 for voicemail purposes
But now, it just doesn't let me use supplementary services in SIM SLOT 1 like call waiting and forwarding... though Sim Slot 2 is letting me forward the calls...

Can someone please help me troubleshoot the problem I am facing?
PS: I used alliance shield X to open IMS settings once and I am not sure if that was the reason supplementary services not working in Sim 1

May be your shield x broke call supplementary setting. Just backup your device and do a factory reset. If doesn't work the you need to flash system with ODIN

Thanks for the reply, but I inserted my SIM in my mother's phone and the Supplementary services didn't work either..
So I guess the problem lies with SIM only..
Is there some setting or something from where I can just toggle those services on and off ? Or should I contact my telecon operator?

Question Can't switch 5G off since updating to Android 13?

Has anyone else has this option greyed out?
I have the option to choose between 5G,4G,3G,or 2G (Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Preferred Network Type).
Yep they've greyed it out even though my phone was bought simfree (unlocked)

If you scroll down a bit further, don't you have a Preferred Network setting?
Nope just a 'Choose Network' which is also greyed out
I'm at a loss, hopefully, someone else will chime in.
FWIW, mine is a US Model, puchcased from T-Mobile, SIM unlocked (using a T-Mobile SIM Card).

You could always just use the dialer code *#*#4636#*#*
Turns out certain networks have the option disabled, I had the same problem when using an ID Mobile sim but my Vodafone sim was fine. To fix the problem make sure your rooted as I don't know of any other way other than the one I'm going to show.
Use a file manage that can show you root files (I use MiXplorer)
Go to /data/user_de/0/com.android.phone/files
Look for a XML file that starts with "carrier", If you have more than one then you've used more than 1 SIM in the phone, Make sure you've opened the XML file for your SIM.
Look for the line "hide_preferred_network_type_bool" and change it from true to false.
Reboot.
Profit.
Hope it works for you.

I'm with Smarty (owned by Three) which also uses the Three network like idmobile so it looks like Three maybe the cul·prit
I'm on I'd mobile which uses threes network.
Type this *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, it enters a test mode.
Click on phone info which takes you to another screen.
Scroll down and you'll see a slightly gray box that if you click on that and scroll through you'll find LTE only.
Click it and that's it, 4g network only.
Restart phone, job done.
Pretty sure my battery also seems to last longer

I had the same issue first when I got this phone , WiFi calling would not kick in at all although the setting was on. 4 months after I have received an update and this resolved the issue , no option for Volte however when I call someone majority of calls are marked as HD call but I guess this only works if other party has a fairly modern handset. I am on Three UK
