[Q] Is my M9 the only one that wants a SIP to dial from the Contacts (People App)

Am I missing a setting:
Every time that I try to dial a number from my contacts in the "People" app, the phone states, "No Internet Calling Account" with a further description, "There are no Internet calling accounts on this phone. Add one now?" The cancel or add buttons both work, but I just want to use the phone to dial!
Bad programming, or are you required to now have a SIP account setup on the phone to dial your contacts?

It is interesting to me that this setting would be defaulted to use internet calling... (wonder if it was from installing an app!)
I found in settings under the heading of Call, Use Internet Calling was set at For all calls when data network is available.
I changed this to "Only for Internet calls" and now everything works fine!
Hopefully this will be helpful for someone else... .

Yeah but when you turn it on, it wants a SIP account for VoLTE. Yet Verizon hasn't provided the SIP account details needed for it.

Mine does not do that.

What about if you click on the phone icon and then on the top right click on the three dots and then settings. At the bottom is an option under "Internet Call Settings" there is another option that says Use Internet Calling. Mine is set to "Only for Internet Calls".

Can i disable network modes?

OK I am very curious if i can disable all network modes except gsm or just select only gsm. Now a lot of you are wondering why and pulling out your hair, well in my area there are a lot of places that I get 1 bar of any other network, but if i manually force my phones over to gsm I get full bars and great reception, even in buildings and basements that everyone considers dead spots. So yes there is a legit reason to this and I'm very curious if this can easily be done with the us model?
thanks

Use intelli3g with xposed framework

You can force the radio to GSM only using the hidden menu..
You can get to this menu by typing in the following code in the phone dialer : *#*#4636#*#*
I always forget the code, so I use an app called Network Switcher which does the exact same thing as the code..

The second SIM slot is GSM voice+text only. So if you ever want to turn off data, I s'pose you could just disable SIM 1 if you had a second one in.

very good I believe this is what I was looking for. It works this way with my current phones and wanted to know if it was in the zp2. some companies/carriers disable this.

OneUI 3.0 removed the Radio Info activity, so now I can't force LTE Only anymore. Please help.

The network at my place is really spotty. If I don't set the network as LTE Only, it keeps fluctuating between LTE and 2G, and it's as good as having no network because calls keep getting dropped, even as they're being answered. Please help.

I'm in the same boat as of lastnight.. used to use an app to force LTE. Tried several different apps and my device is not compatible they tell me.... Really sucks

So I've been fighting with this all day, and just found a solution. I'm using a Google phone app instead of the Samsung one. I put a code in that I remember using years ago on a nexus device. *#*#4636#*#*.
Got me to the correct menu, back to LTE forced. Won't work on my Samsung dialer tho for some reason.
Hope this helps.

I found the solution! They renamed the Radio Info activity to Phone Info, and they moved it to the Phone app from the Settings app! Download Quick Shortcut Maker, then create a widget of QSM on your launcher, then in Phone (com.android.phone), scroll down and select Phone Info (com.android.phone/com.android.phone.settings.RadioInfo), then name it as per your wish, set the icon of your choice, and then click create.
Congratulations! Now you can set your phone to "LTE Only"!

Android 11/OneUI 3.0 sure seems to have a lot of bugs, causing issues everywhere you look.

you can use an apk called netmonster to give you acess to phoneinfo.

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

Question Where to find the option “Select best network automatically” in settings?

Would like to turn this off but it is missing from “wifi assistant”.

My mistake, I was not aware there was a similar setting for wifi. I am on xiaomi.eu 12.5.19 (A11) ui isn't much different than stock. Anyway, I don't see that setting either, in my wifi assistant settings :/ my best guess, is that it's Rom related though
