Anyone tested this in Croatia?
Thanks
So sad that the a company like Google did this, so so sad, the Pixel had to be the android king and it turned out to be worst than cheep Chinese phones, what a disappointment,
The Mi11i that I have in my city has 900Mbs download speeds and it's a 300€ Chinese phone. I would be ashamed.
Tested in Croatia, Porec, with tcom. 5g works great and also volte and vowifi. Tested with both sim and esim, no problem at all.
 
I lost VoWiFi (Play carrier) after update to December release. VoLTE and 5G still working fine. I tried to reinstall mod, talk to carrier support - but still no luck.
What speed for the 5G connection? Is it compared to the LTE/4G in the same place? B/c I've tried orange and I have the 5G icon, but the phone still can utilize only LTE speed (up to 60 MBs). And orange support tells me that P7P isn't supported so far. No luck in getting 5G support from the operator soon.

The news in Greece is that Cosmote GR carrier has unlocked the VoLTE and VoWiFi for rooted devices. The only you have to do is to send two SMS to 1333 : " 5G " and " Wificall " from a Cosmote-supported device (Iphone, S22 etc.) in order to register the IMS and to follow the familiar procedure.
The conclusion is that all the Carriers in Greece (Vodafone GR, Cosmote GR and Wind) can be fully supported by this module - 5G, VoLTE and VoWiFi.

Thank you!

I am not able to get 5G with telkomsel using this method
I think it might have something that telkomsel needs to toggle on to our phone number

I already ask the carrier to activate my 5G
Might try again next time
I had 5G on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, even when roaming in Taiwan and Europe.

I plan to go to the nearest GraPARI to ask why am not able to access 5G with this HP

If I root my phone I cannot use Livin by Mandiri app. Have tried all of the Magical hide and LSposed fixes but the app still detects root
Sorry buddy, no root = no 5G
Google is limited 5G access to unsupported countries like us.

i read somewhere if you use magisk delta canary, it might bypass the security with livin mandiri
you might need to try that

I have managed to enable VoLTE and VoWifi to my physical sim. But I still cannot enable them to my E-sim here in Greece. Anyone facing the same issue?

Yes, e-SIM needs to be exchanged in order to enable this features (not in Vodafone GR).
If you are provided by Cosmote GR, get in a store, buy an e-sim, send the SMS through a 5G i-phone and in front of them say "sorry, I changed my mind, I want to go back to pixel". It will cost about 10 euros and some of your dignity! xD

    Hey, this tuto is working for several user to activate 5G on unsupported 5G country by Google.

    You need : Rooted phone, 5G Plan, 5G Coverage.

    STEP 1 : Install the module on magisk to activate VOLTE and reboot.
    STEP 2 : Install Network Signal Guru on the Play Store.
    STEP 3 : Click on the 3 dots, Forcing control, select your sim card.
    STEP 4 : Click on NR SETTING, and select on Opt2(0x10) and Opt3(0x01) on the ENDC menu.
    STEP 5 : Restart the phone, if you are on 5G coverage, it should be working for you.

    If your carrier doesn't allow you to select 5G preferred network on settings, you might have to select "NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA" under Preferred network on the hidden *#*#4636#*#*

    Of course, you do it on your own risk.

    Thanks to Evan for finding it.

    Actually worked on Hungary, Romania, UAE, Philippines, China, Thailand, Hong Kong...
    Worked on A12 and A13 Beta.

    It works with all operators in China etc . CMCC/CU/CT
    Someone successfully call with VoNR (test with some cities in China )

    option 2 is SA mode ,other is NSA mode
    option 3 ( 3a / 3x ) = NSA in most countries , access to EPC( LTE Network )
    option 7 = option3 + 5GC ( 5G Core Network )
    option 4 = option2 + LTE with 5G Core Network

    cuz many location stop using NSA mode , so i was select option2 only

    It's beyond stupid that this brand new and undocumented menu was the key. I had previously played around with it and figured it was dangerous since it was difficult to revert.

    As a note, T-Mobile US ENDC defaults to 0x11, using both 0x10 and 0x1.

    Won't users also have to set NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA in the hidden *#*#4636#*#* menu if their carrier doesn't allow preferred 5G in network settings?

    Thanks finally 5g on P6. Working great in Greece Vodafone. For those volte vowifi not working, make sure you have already enabled it via your carrier. If you have never done it either search online for a simple sms text enable service for your operator or just call them and ask to enable it but tell them you have an iPhone or Samsung instead. Some operators let you enable it from their app In my country the same had to be done for 5g when 5g was first introduced in Greece. Also not that it makes any difference but just in case anyone is wondering i have an esim. So it works great for esim as well.

    Can confirm 5G works on A1 Bulgaria. Reached 800Mbps indoors. VoLTE doesn't work though. When the call starts, the networks drops to H+. But this is an issue with my carrier. They are terrible, only support flagship Samsungs and iphones.
