Question Xperia 1 iii Aust - anyone got VoLTE working? - Sony Xperia 1 III

Has anyone in Australia got VoLTE working on any local carrier?

When you say return to Sony, do you mean the retailer i bought it off or Sony direct ? I bought through Kogan.com.au
Also if returning to "sony", will they disable the block for VoLTE?

Ah ok.
I think i'll keep it since since i can still make calls on 3G and Vodafone AU has no foreseeable plans to shutdown 3G.
I can always hope someone figures a way to get VoLTE working like they did for X1 ii

buy OnePlus 9 pro instead or wait end of Jan 2022 for new android12 firmware--probably it will fix an issue

I've honestly looked at all the current phones and nothing is as appealing to me as the Xperias, been through the Nexus, Pixel, Galaxy, iPhones.. always kept going back to Xperia after each one.
I guess will have to suffer through lol

I have read on another forum that by flashing SEA firmware on Xperia 1 III volte has worked for Telstra users. Not sure how true this is though

too many problems, better to give it back to Sony and wait untill it will be fixed

If a simple flashing fixes the issue then it's well worth it

sony tablet s ics 4.0.3r5 countries available

Hi
I wanted to know in which countries the release 5 update has been rolled out...?
I have not got in india...?
Any idea plz reply..
Thanks
In the US and some say it has been rolled out in India
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
still not in the netherlands
A few received OTA in India last week - Europe normal gets the rollout about a week - 10 after the US, atleast going by past updates.
Changed region to India and no action at all. India is in ST006 so NZ AUS Hong Kong etc would get at the same time.... Going by past updates anyway. ICS original came through at 11pm local time for me which was 2pm Hong Kong (I think).
My guess is that the people in India had changed theirs to US or had US tabs....
Also could not find a URL for this, hence changing to India region.
I agree with the roll out, everyone had ICS within the end of the next month (May). So wasn't too bad
Stifilz
Thanks for the replies...
I guess its not yet available in india mayb many of them have chaanged their region to usa so they are getting the update since mine is an unrooted tab I havnt got the update when I checked in the system update
Thanks again all for confirming my doubt
tablet in different country
got my tablet in India but I live in USA. Will I get the update when it is available for Indian customers(or will I have to somehow connect to their Indian server)? Theoretically I should but because of a very bad experience with Sony recently I am just not sure. Can anyone tell me that?

I contacted sony support and they confused the hell out of me. Made me format my tab.
I contacted them through a contact on phone and they actually said that it is a global update and i should be able to update it so thought that my tab was abandoned because some kind of lack of contact to Indian servers. This thread told confirmed my suspicion that it was not not a global launch.
Thank you for that. The support is bad to say the least.

Simple, they srew up Updates. It's absolute nonsense that the Providers in the US still provide Devices with own Firmwares.
They stoped doing that Years ago in other Countries since the Device Firmwares get more and more complex.
It does also slow down the whole Update release speed for new Updates from the OEM's. A free Device is always the better choice...
Let's see how long it takes till You get Nougat...

And why are You running 10h in this Case? Nonbranded should be 10c,10d,10e or 10i not 10h...!? Maybe thats the Reason for Your reboots!? Wrong Firmware on Your Device!?
Can someone explain the numbers by v10j (234-20)please I'm seeing this firmware on H860 models of the G5

Do NOT buy in the US - does NOT work with modern T-Mobile or AT&T networks

Do NOT buy this phone in the US unless Sony gets its phones approved to work with T-Mobile & AT&T
I have a Sony Xperia X Compact and it is the BEST ANDROID PHONE I have ever had.
Despite that I have to say that NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANY SONY PHONES.
The phone is awesome and technically supports pretty much any 3G and 4G band out there but Sony refuses to get these phones approved by AT&T and T-Mobile for VoLTE.
That means (for T-Mobile as an example) that the Xperia X Compact technically supports T-Mobile's super-duper Band 12 LTE which has almost better coverage than Verizon, BUT because the phone is not approved for VoLTE, Sony phones will almost immediately get disconnected from that T-Mobile tower. You may be standing next to someone with an approved phone that has 100% coverage, yet the Sony Xperia phones will show NO RECEPTION.
Sony phones should be able to at least connect to Band 12 for data but they don't. It may technically have the ability to connect to Band 12 and even use VoLTE, but the tower refusal to keep the connection. Sony then apparently also screwed up the band prioritization, because Sony phones even have issues connecting to non VoLTE networks (eg Band 4).
As a result, ALL SONY PHONES ARE PRETTY MUCH UNUSABLE on T-Mobile and AT&T AS A PHONE.
Do NOT buy any Sony phones if you want to use them on T-Mobile and AT&T, though I can tell you that they are the BEST phones otherwise - just not as a phone.
This is pathetic and there is no response from Sony.

Unproven rumors that it will be voLTE certified. NO CONFIRMATION FROM SONY OR T-MOBILE.
Even so, you won't be able to use the fingerprint sensor, since the international ROM won't support it.
Do NOT buy!!!!

You have a really hard-on for Sony for some reason....
Everything points that it will have both of the supports for TMobile. Why not just wait and see before making such a claims?

Because Sony ****ED over buyers for the last three phone generations.
Why not stop buying Sony phones until they fix that!?
Because Sony can just as easily choose not to sell phones in the US as they can choose to spend extra to sell unlocked phones. Alot of people buy and they may see the window to release carrier phones again.
Also, because no one else produces a sub-5" android superphone and the XZ1 Compact is the only way to signal that there is a market for them.
I had the Z3 Compact and Z5 Compact. I've been on Samsungs for the last 2.5 years because they've had the smallest US flagships.

I also would buy another phone if there was another sub 4.8 screen and 13MP+ phone with USB C, SD card and 3+GB RAM.
The Xperia X Compact is the best Android device that I have ever owned.
But without VoLTE it is unusable as a phone or even internet connected device on T-Mobile.
I essentially sit on a t mobile tower at work and I don't get reception.
That is just fvkced up.
Selling these phones as Sony is currently doing is the same as not selling them ...
My x compact worked fine on Tmobile.. I would definitely recommend the xz1 and compact!!

That is interesting since everyone is reporting it not working with LTE. Just check the XDA forum.
There is currently no reason to believe this one too be different.
Man, what's wrong with you? Seriously?
You give this thread an ABSOLUTE imperative title, with capital conjunctions and all - which is BS in the first sentence, and misleading in the second, to say the very least.
Then, my hats off, only in the post you manage to make fit the relevant information that everybody can get to evaluate for itself.
Which, not only is very minor and objectively variable for whatever specific conditions one's have, but now has also that little petty incidental detail of being confirmed by multiple sources.. And it still doesn't make a difference?
Oh, and last but not least, you bring up the goddamn fingerprint problem, as if you couldn't just flash european firmware and call it a straight day.

I'm sorry to say this, but you're clueless. Any phone you buy that's not sold directly by AT&T will not support VoLTE, regardless of manufacturer. Saying it's a Sony thing and putting the blame on them is a dumbass move. I have bought countless unlocked phones from Samsung, LG, OnePlus and Sony of course and none of them support VoLTE or WifiCalling, that's AT&T (and T-Mobile) to blame, not the manufacturer. If you called T-Mobile and AT&T and that's what a clueless rip told you, lol for believing they know anything but how an iPhone works.

Hmm. Maybe Smart just beginning to roll out the feature. I only noticed RCS last Sunday and was able to use it. Unfortunately, I don't have any friends under Smart telecom so I can test the feature.

This feature is mobile services dependent. If you're mobile service provider doesn't offer this feature you can't use it. For me it's been available since I've got the phone in November, because my provider has this feature.

Hi! Google just started to roll out this feature just last month. Primarily in EU, im surprised to see it out here in SEA. Il post the link here!
It's been available (and working) on my L-09 UK unlocked handset (running on EE) for the last couple of weeks.
My OnePlus 7 Pro, using the same SIM, refuses to even try activating it though

This feature was available for some time now. But it depended on the manufacturer of the smartphone and carrier to work. It seems that Google made this to work without any dependencies.

Yeah Google's trying it out there. If all goes well it might roll out soon to other countries. Hopefully it'll be like iMessage.

Question Experience of Pixel 6 in Hong Kong

Hello Pixel 6 users in HK
May you be so kind as to share your experience of using this device here ?
I'm going to get one as a cheap replacement to my S21U, which is close to failing and I want to sell while it retains value...
Does it work well on the local networks (I use 3HK) ? I understand I won't be able to use 5G but I don't care.
Also, I suppose it is still not possible to use NFC with Octopus for transport and such on non Samsung phones, right ? Might be the one thing I miss.
I am not in HK, but 5G should be working for you now. NFC with Octopus shouldnt work.

Thank you for your quick reply!
What you say is reassuring me, since I don't plan to unlock BL, root or anything to avoid the stress of it !
My days of doing this are gone haha
HK user here. I rooted my JP spec one to an international version, got google pay and nfc to work but I don't use octopus with phone so I can't confirm on that. I use 1010 so I can't comment on how well 3HK coverage would be but mine works well enough in 4G and 5G is working for some people already via rooted mods.

5G is not a must, 4G is enough really.
