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.

Question Volte on Oneplus 9 Pro. Is it a carrier thing?

Hello,
I am having troubles activating Volte on my OnePlus 9 Pro.
After a chit chat with OnePlus support, they told me that my country carrier needs to support the Volte option for Oneplus.
Apparently they say my carrier doesnt have Oneplus in their list of smartphones that support Volte.
I managed to find a list of smartphones that my carrier has for Volte and it was only made of Samsung and Iphone.
Is this true? Am I incapable of running Volte because my carrier doesnt have OnePlus phones in ther list? OnePlus isnt popular at all in my country.
So, if this true, means even if i force turn on Volte on OP 9 Pro, i still wont get it to work?

Someone tried to force Volte but still no sucess. Apparently Volte for oneplus wasnt supported on their carrier also. So i think thats it... I will try myself once to check though. thank you.

OnePlus is also not on the list of supported devices for my carrier but I still managed to make it work on my 9 Pro following the guide previously mentioned.
Give it a try and you might be surprised of the output.

did your IMS appear as not registered first? Were you using LE2120? because they also said it can also be differences in frequencies for the countries.

LE2120 and IMS was "not registered".
After forcing the display of VoLTE/VoWifi toggles and changing the configuration in PDC to "Volte PTCRB", it started to work on my phone (logo in the status bar and "HD" indicated in call history)
My carrier is Viettel and I live in Vietnam.

I'm with T-Mobile and I have the OnePlus 9 Pro from the OnePlus store it's not T-Mobile specific I went with T-Mobile because they're 5G is better and AT&T didn't get voice over LTE at all. I went on a prepaid plan because there's no taxes involved my wife and I both have unlimited everything with 5G and I think we pay 80 bucks a month. I downloaded the version one OnePlus log kit switched on volte and vo Wi-Fi did the reboot and you can see from the screenshots when I don't have LTE vo Wi-Fi kicks in and when I don't have the other v o l t e is always active and they both work all my calls are in high definition. The carrier did nothing for me it was that simple I'm not rooted and I'm on the stock software... It's great because even if I have a dead zone I can make phone calls and send and receive texts over Wi-Fi no problem it might be worth looking into going to T-Mobile just for that feature especially when it's prepaid plan and you don't have to pay all those taxes! Good luck I'm so glad I got this phone I had just bought the OnePlus 80 and the charging port was getting bad on it so I went all in and got the nine Pro!

It works you need to turn it on in the settings so that you see the icon but to be sure just make s phone call if it changes to H+ or 3G then you don't have VoLTE

VoLTE and WoWIFI works natively on T-Mobile with the US model, T-Mobile model or from Oneplus themselves, so those extra steps were completely unnecessary . It's 100% carrier dependent, you just happened to be on a carrier that supports it.

So i guess, even if i do all that with PDC, i will still not be able to access VOLTE right? Because my carrier only supports samsung and iphone for now...

Assuming PDC is your carrier? Then correct. If they only whitelist Samsung and iPhones for VoLTE, then that's what you need to use.

PDC is a program that allows you to force activate volte on your phone. but thank you. i kinda got an idea now.

Same here (in Ukraine) guys. Oneplus 9 Pro doesn't support VoLTE, though previous older phones did!
Can changing of Profile in PDC affect VoLTE? Or only carriers can affect this? How do they Whitelist our model?

PDC not work on Android 12 ?

Question anyone have issues with T-mobile data?

Despite me having bars per Android, almost max, I am getting horrible internet/data connection. Can't even browse a website. I tried switching between 5g/LTE and makes no difference unfortunately. Anyone else?

Mine was quite a bit slower than my Note 20 Ultra at first but after a couple reboots it's almost identical to the Note.

No problem here with Magenta Max. I got 470Mbs the other day on 5G UC (ultra capacity).
Any chance they are throttling you?

I am here in NE Ohio. At times it crawls so bad. Really pissing me off. 5G to LTE handoff is horrible

I'm having problem when it shows 5g UC. I get no data at all. If it shows just 5g it's fine. I have to switch to LTE when I have 5g UC or I get no service.

i thought that was the issue too. i will say LTE is better than 5G but both are bad compared to other phones

I was on the phone with them today, no luck. They are clueless.
Horrible 5G and LTE.

I had good speeds when I 1st received it. Think my issue started with last carrier service update.

Same here. The first and maybe the 2nd day it was very good for me.

T-Mobile here. 5g in my area in San Francisco (in the middle of the fu_king city) is total ****e. The worst is the P6P (and my 4a5g) refuse to let go of a weak, one bar 5g signal for a much stronger LTE signal. I turn off 5G more than anything on this phone.
I can't say blame falls all Google or all TMO. All I know, is it ain't pretty when you are trying to save the world from the Enlightenment (Ingress reference).

T-Mobile was upgrading a tower near my house a few weeks ago and I had the same issue, pre Pixel. The P6 Pro has been super fast since I got it. I'm using the unlocked version straight from Google and not the T-Mobile version.

Yeah T-Mobile has been trash in this phone. No matter where I am I can't get over 3megs. When my iphone gets 20+

mine was all jacked up too. did a reset of all network connections in settings and rebooted and it's been great since. it was fine for the first 2 days as well. carrier services update may have messed things up.

same here, tmobile is not great, same issue on 5gUC, will get around 1-3 down which even then freezes and loads any video playing and music will just stutter. so its been greeaatttt

I uninstalled latest update to carrier services from the Google playstore. I can at least get data now on 5G UC.

I'm on T-Mobile by ways of an acquired Sprint customer. I'm in Tampa with my 6 Pro on an eSIM and data service has been very good. 5G symbol everywhere and 5G UC speeds are faster as I've been speed testing when I can and see it.

Well that was short lived. Took the dogs for a walk this morning. Back to no data when on 5G UC. Getting the exclamation in the notification area.

My 5G on TMobile is good so far, but it depends on the Tower locations...

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've installed and I can enable VoLTE however when I call people there is quite a lot of distortion. That could just be how distorted the calling is anyway so I will test with and without later.

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.

I checked the T-Mobile IMEI checker and, if it's accurate, it doesn't look great. I'm not sure what "not blocked" means but it claims it's incompatible.

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
Will Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite work in USA?
In this page we are going to show you the compatibility of Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite with the mobile networks of USA and with the telephony operators that provide service in USA.
www.kimovil.com
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)
that being said, it should *work* on the other carriers, but i have no idea how well

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?).
