As the title suggests, I ask you more experts if there is a quick way to quickly switch from a data connection on SIM1 to a data connection on SIM2 without having to first open all the submenus until you reach that of the sim on which to activate data traffic.
To do this I currently see no better solution than to browse the Menu: settings - internet network - sim - simX - Mobile data button - confirm by pressing ok
(instead for example on Xiaomi and Oneplus there is a toggle in the quick settings for the same android version)
If it doesn't exist, is there a way to retrieve it or a 3rd party application to use a widget?
A thousand thanks!
Looking for this sort of thing too
Pixel 6 Pro A13
Missing this alot from my oneplus 7pro
Also the switching between different Bluetooth devices

Change your phone for a OnePlus. with pixel you never will receive awesome features like these, google just provide a generic android with a good camera...

Hey!
My network operator supports VoWiFi feature, which i'm using a lot. I'm traveling quite often and using VoWiFi i can use voice services using domestic prices worldwide.
I have dual SIM card phone, in the second slot i have data sim.
Here the question comes - is there any way to configure a phone to use VoWiFi feature over data connection from the second SIM?
Essentially VoWiFi feature requires just internet connection, so in theory such approach should work, but do not know if it is possible to configure the phone this way.
Would appreciate any help
Gentlemen,
Any help would be appreciated.
I do have workaround - to use the second phone, share WiFi from it and then i can use VoWiFi on my main phone. But it' super inconvenient - you always need to care 2 phones.
If you know any apps/solutions please let me know.
I have dual SIM and I am able to have Wifi Calling enabled on both SIMs at the same time.
However - you are talking about VoLTE if you're talking about using the data connection on the second SIM rather than a WiFi connection.
Again, however, this should be possible - I can enable VoLTE on both SIMs. It's under Mobile Data in the Settings app...

VoLTE is different technology and is charged in my case differently. That's the reason i'm looking for an option to use data sim that the main sim uses this data connection for the call simulating "VoWiFi" and hence use domestic rates for the calls.
As i said above i can emulate this with two phones, but i still hope to find a solution where i can archive that with only one phone.
I'm looking for the same solution. My note 8 is rooted. The best I can do is set WiFi Calling as preferred over Network calling, but as soon as I activate Data for SIM#2, I lose WiFi calling and VoLTE for first SIM. Very inconvenient. Anyone have any clues how to force WiFi Calling using Data of SIM#2 ?
Before OnePlus 9 Pro I used to have Huawei P30 Pro that automatically switched Mobile Data to SIM card that was used during a call. It gave me an ability to use internet regardless of SIM used for call (important scenario when driving, for instance). It's noteworthy that none of my 2 carriers support VoLTE / VoWiFi. Now for OP9 Pro this mission became impossible and it feels like a downgrade compared to 3-4 yr old phones.
Is there any solution for this? Maybe custom ROM, hack, whatever...
So at the moment you have Sim1 with data and Sim2 without data?
In settings you can set your preferred Simcard for calls, messages and Data.
Does setting Sim1 as preferred Simcard for data not work?

My both SIM can be used for Mobile Data if I select explicitly, and regardless of preferred card (1 or 2) for data, I can't get data working in case I call from the card that was not selected as a preferred one.
The switch in SIM settings that says there must be VoLTE active on second card in order to make data working during a call from first one does not help. Simply because there is no VoLTE available from carrier.
For instance - I have preferred card SIM1 and I call from SIM2 (and need phone to switch to using data from SIM2 during a call), in this case during a phone call I have no data available at all. Very inconvenient in a car (navigation) or just if you have to check some info from internet during a call. Previous phone allowed to use such feature without VoLTE (same cards, same carriers), OP9 Pro doesn't. I wonder if it's a software limitation or hardware.
I am looking forward to change OP9 to Mi 11 Ultra now due to this... ((
My model is LE2120
VoLTE is unchecked in settings?
Otherwise, no idea dude...
Maybe check in Oneplus forums?
Hi I'm in almost the same situation like you.
The only way that i thought it can be done on the op is using tasker.
If you know how to use tasker and manage to do it, please let me know
Tasker will wait for and event like receiving a call, identify which sim the call in coming on, switch active data to the same sim the call comes in on, and viola
I've opted for the most radical way - switched to Samsung S21 Ultra. It was hard to tolerate such caveats like absence of mobile data auto switching, mid-end camera & fast-dying battery in flagship phone...
I'm on EE UK but the preferred network type setting doesn't appear to be present in SIM options?
It appears that some providers suck hard and don't want to allow you to switch networks. That's not a phone thing-y, it's a provider thing-y. Which means that your phone will of course still change networks, but only if the "higher" one is not available, ergo your phone will only connect to 4G, if 5G is not available - if the 5G connection is bad, that will probably cause problems for you, because your phone will probably not want to connect to 4G automatically.
I can easily switch preferred network types
Settings -> Network & Speed -> SIMs -> (scroll down, between 4G Calling & Carrier settings version) -> Preferred network type (5G, 4G, 3G, 2G).
It that's not available, your network carrier sucks. No more to say here.
I'd suggest you either switch providers, or contact your provider to see if they are willing to change this. It's definitely on their end, cuz people like me can change the settings easily.

You may be able to change preferred network type with *#*#4636#*#* dialer code.

Or you could just make sure Adaptive Connectivity is enabled and not worry about it.
You would have to drag me away from EE (BT Mobile) screaming and kicking given the coverage and speeds they have, to say they suck over one menu option missing is absolutely laughable.

When the Note 20 first came out a lot of carriers wouldn't let you change network type but there's an app in the play store that was working on the notes.
Force 4G/5G Only - Apps on Google Play
Lock your phone to 4G/5G mode or VoLTE network

Crashes or alternately just disappeared for me when I click on the first option "4G LTE with only one SIM". Reported the crash. Thanks, though. Maybe they'll update it.
An alternative to the dialer code is to boot into safe mode, and the preferred network type setting will appear in: Settings -> Network & internet -> SIMs between Data warning & limit and Carrier settings version (at least it does on my Google Fi Pixel 6 Pro).
Hello everyone,
on my companies area I have a really bad phone signal (LTE). How ever, I am constantly connected to my companies WIFI.
I now wonder if being connected to the WIFI will reduce battery drain due to low LTE signal?
I was hoping that the phone then only needs to search for better reception if the signal for phone calls (bot not internet) goes completely off?
Another solution would be to use Tasker to switch to my company SIM with full signal strenght (I am using dual SIM) for data/internet when on my companies area.
In any case, my private SIM will still always have bad signal but will be active for phone calls. However, my data reception will be very good (while I am still also connected to WIFI).
Just looking for the best solution in terms of battery drain.
Thanks!
VoWifi is a boon for low cellular coverage area usage while saving battery life on WIFI and still being available for phone calls. Ask your provider for specifics
Ahh thanks for that hint!
So if I enable Voice over WIFI, then my phone will stop searching for better radio signal if the WIFI signal is good enough?
Yes, in fact you can enable Airplane Mode which switches off all radios, turn on wifi radio manually to enjoy great battery life and VoWifi calls.

Hmm except that I can't seem to find the option on Android 12 to enable wifi calling :S :S
Even without VoWifi you can save battery life by manually switching to 3G or even 2G for calls while using high speed data on wifi
Your carrier must support VoWifi to be seen as an option on your device.
Here is a list of US carriers that use the newer advanced Vo technologies:
T-Mobile
– VoLTE: Yes
– VoWiFi: Yes
AT&T
– VoLTE: Yes
– VoWiFi: No
Verizon
– VoLTE: Yes
– VoWiFi: No
Sprint
– VoLTE: Yes
– VoWiFi: Yes
I am from Europe so I use a different carrier. That carrier has VoLTE and VoWiFi enabled.
How ever, it seems like the carrier also has to approve each specific devices to be allowed to use VoWiFi.
As the P6P is not being officially sold in my country, I suspect that my carrier doesn't have my device on their whitelist :/
VoLTE/VoWiFi Activation
It is mandatory to have your Pixel rooted with Magisk to install this module. Make sure that Magisk is installed properly on your system, then proceed with these steps:
Install this module (Zip file) on Magisk and reboot the system.
After rebooting, the phone may be showing "No service" due to the parsing of new configurations, so please wait until the operator name showed up.
Go to Settings -> Network and Internet -> Mobile network and enable "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" and "Wi-Fi calling".
Turn off Wi-Fi
Go to Phone -> dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information tap at the top-right button, select "IMS Service Status".
Check if IMS Registration is Registered and Voice over LTE is Available then, congrats, you're succeeded.
(Voice over Wi-Fi will be activated upon the "Wi-Fi calling" option in 2.)

Thank you very much. I will probably root soon and will give it a try then. Although there is an github issue open which says that the module is not support by the Pixel 5.
Just a bit annoying that I would have to apply this after every OTA but I guess it's doable
I also talked to my carrier today. They are saying that only phones that are being sold by the carrier support VoWiFi as the phones OS needs special settings that are being provided by the carrier. That is why usually the Android updates from phones bought through our carriers come later than the official google updates (due to the carrier updating the OS himself first).
On the other hand it seems like google could integrate those "special" settings right out of the box.
How ever, google seems to say the carrier has to get in touch with them and start the procedure whole the carrier says that is google who has to take care of it by them self.
Since the phone signal for my SIM is really bad on my companies area but the WIFI is very good, this should then hopefully help a lot with battery drain.
So on MIUI 11, the Poco F3 had a feature under "game turbo" that enabled game players to answer calls while gaming.
On MIUI 12 and now, 12.5, this feature doesn't exist on the Poco F3, whoever, it exists for example on the Xiaomi mi 11 according to the internet.
I know the phone has to be setup to use VoltE, which is enabled, but still, that feature is vanished (and I know VoltE is supported since I actually used it while on MIUI 11).
Any way, or third party app, to enable this feature again? Asked the question on the Poco Community and Xiaomi forum but it's been like 15 days without answers and looking on the internet I only find posts asking this same question and no solutions.
VoLTE option
1) Use google phone
2) Type *#*#86583#*#*
3) Settings -> Sim cards & mobile networks -> Your Sim card

I input that code and it said "voLTE carrier check disabled".
On my sim card, voLTE is enabled (as it was before, although it never worked).
I'm gonna try to test it out and see how it goes.
Thanks for the help!

ignore that toast and just go to the settings sim card and you'll find an option to to enable or disable voLTE
