I have two SIM cards in my S21 that allows me to call to Brazil using WiFi without have to start the number with country code. It works perfectly in such way that I never imagined. On Pixel 6 this is not available. What is required to the phone to work like that? I thought that any 5G should have the same features. P6 says that can do WiFi calls but not like S21!
I've been trying to figure out a way myself for months.
The setting is called Backup Calling (Samsung calls it Auto_Data_Switching).
Anyways, it doesn't seem to be as straight forward on the Pixel devices. The switch for backup calling has only showed up for me on the Physical SIM. Also, its only when I turn the switch for the sim off and then on again; it disappears super quickly and I don't understand why. I should add that when I turn the sim back on, I have to scroll super quickly to the bottom, select which line I want data on when the notification comes up, then quickly switch backup calling on before it's gone and replaced with Wi-Fi Calling. Sometimes it stays but I don't think it does anything as something system wise is not enabling it.
But it's really the eSIM I want this on because I have data on the physical SIM only. So to have Wi-Fi Calling over cellular data via SIM 1 would be a huge relief. But the switch for backup calling doesn't show up like it does on the physical SIM. Scrolling to the bottom trick doesn't work as the notification is different (something about calls and texts switching to the eSIM).
I think "Cross SIM Calling" and whatever related to it is what we need to look at.
Let me give you more details. My SIM card 2 is roaming and both are phisical. When I have to call to Brasil using at&t SIM 1 or SIM 2 roaming, I have to include +55 11 if I am calling to São Paulo but; because the SIM 2 is from São Paulo; when I am calling using WiFi to SP I don't use +55 11 and the VIVO network register my call as local inside their network. I can call numbers like *555 for voice mail; something impossible if you are in roaming. This huge benefit come from S21 + WiFi call; not available on P6, unfortunately. I have a brand new P6 in my bookshelf because I figured out S21 is far better than P6.

I told me that phone is locked, but it is not true.
It is unlocked and Find My Phone's "Lock" feature does not work for me.
Thanks.
Remove and readd it
This doesn't tell you that your phone is locked, this gives you the option to lock your phone in case it has been lost or stolen...
Sorry, but you are not right - if I click on this icon, it showed the message that phone is already locked. But it is not true, since I have unlocked it.
I tried it app. week ago and if I need this service again, it will NOT work.
Can you help me?
I am not the only person that has this problem:
1. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-1873-42a6-aac0-b5c185039186?tm=1336933502850
2. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-930b2cc45d29?page=1&tm=1336933751760#footer
I also had it, removed phone and readded fixed the problem.
Great, thank you very much.
But I think that is an issue/problem - it is not a standard behavior in my opinion.
Does anybody know why it happens?
Thanks.
Removing and Re-adding Works
Thanks, removing the device and re-adding also worked for me. Once you lock the device the symbol will remain, and you can not use the feature again. This is the only workaround I know of.
Strange, but solved.
Close this thread, please.
it relies on your sim card.In a sense,it just lock your tel-number.Once your sim card was out of your phone,it not work.

It locks the phone, does nothing with your telephone number.

Does anybody know how to remove the deactivation a service provider puts on a phone when due to theft/non-payment/etf? I have a LG P-509 and it was working fine with simple mobile for almost a month then 3 days before payment was due the signal cut off and has an X on it!! I called simple mobile and they reset the service I took off battery and sim and still didnt work...I switched sim to a t mobile sim and it showed bars and got messages and then the signal bars were gone again! I called t mobile and they told me that they blocked it or deactivated it cuz customer did not pay...........does anybody have a solution????
Hey guys,
I just bought a Galaxy Note 2 second hand, and it is having some problems. Right now I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, something Verizon is doing wrong, or something wrong with the device.
I am 100% stock, with no modifications. I can receive texts, but cannot send them (I get a message saying it will wait for the network to become available to send). I also cannot make calls (I get a similar message).
Here's the kicker though: I have signal. I have several bars of 4G, and am sending / receiving data through the browser, but the SMS / Voice call features of the phone do nothing.
Anyone have any advice? I have tried the following:
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Reboot
Wipe Dalvik
Shut down, remove SIM card, put SIM card back, reboot
Nothing seems to do anything helpful!
UPDATE: Just browsing around the settings, I found the following in my network settings:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that missing some things?
Did you just activate your service, or start new 4G service? It can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day for all phone functions to work. When I got a new SIM before, data worked almost immediately, but some of the SMS/call related things took a couple hours before they worked properly.

No, I had a Galaxy S3 and simply shut that phone down, took out the SIM, and transferred it to the new phone. Nothing else changed.
Hello,
Can anyone tell me why I cant send picture messages when I am connected to wifi? On previous phones, I have been able to send pics while on wifi as long as I have cellular service; the phone would automatically send due to the phone having cellular service available. But with the v10, I notice that my pictures will not go through if I am on wifi. I have to turn wifi off, wait for the pic to go through, then turn wifi back on, which is a pain. Does anybody know if there is some setting or something that I need to adjust?
Thanks,
Do you have WiFi Calling enabled and are you using a third-party messaging app, such as Textra? You might need to adjust your MMS settings in the app. On the V10, third-party apps cannot send MMS via WiFi Calling, so MMS messages will appear stuck and never send unless you explicitly instruct your messaging app to use cellular data for MMS (this varies with each app).
I think this is a known problem. Textra is the only messaging app that I know of that has "T-Mobile fix" option. It temporarily disables WiFi when sending or receiving MMS. Works great too.
Hope this help.... I also have TMO v10 with ATT network... I got 4G LTE all the time..... Try it see if work for you. Check FAQ stickies on the very top of Q&A section Q7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64684661

Handcent next uses the mobile data network while on wifi to send mms. While on wifi I've seen the 4g icon pop up when I send a mms
I have yet to try it but it seems setting your APN to IPv4 from the default IPv6 allows MMS to go through when you are on wifi. It at least was a solution for Nexus 5 back in the day though it seems in ted77usa's comment he is able to enter IPv4/IPv6 as an option.
Hi, I’ve gotten one of these cheap tablets from wish to make a video review about what you get.
Of course, a lot is faked and less than advertised. But that a new device in 2020 only connects to 2G, that is a new low to me. And even worse: it only accept standard SIMS. No nano sim, no micro sim!

However I saw you can change some internal settings in EngineeringMode and BandMode. Can anyone help me enable at least 3G for sim 1? Cuz it seems like it supports it but is somehow disabled.
See the picture attached.
MTK Engeneering Tool -> MTK settings > BandMode > Select SIM lists the bands your phone supports: By default, you’d see some ticked bands outlined in White color while others are in Grey. Now, those White colored are the bands your phone supports. Of course the SIM-card must support these. Using a SIM-card that doesn’t support any of those white outlined bands, it won’t work
How did you verify that the SIM-card supports the desired bandmode?

Hi, thanks for replying to me!
I'm pretty sure the SIM-card supports the desired bandmode. I've also had this very same SIM-card in my OnePlus One phone and it could connect to 2G, 3G and even LTE fine on there. So both the Carrier and the SIMCard support all networks. Also we still have 3G service using this Carrier in my country until 2022.
As for white and greyed-out bands: I know that the white bands work. The issue is that ALL 3G bands are greyed-out, making the device only connect to 2G (GPRS and EDGE) networks, which are completely unusable in 2020.
I know it is a cheap device and it isn't worth it to spend a lot of time on it, but is there any way to force one or more 3G bands to become white / active?
Never mind, I have gotten proof that this is in fact only a 2G device by running the “adb getprop” command. It showed the following radio version:
TOPWISE82_TB_2_KK_GPRS_HW(DEFAULT)
Since it contains GPRS I think that’s a 2G only radio...
Why they bother to release this in 2019/2020 is still boggling my mind.
Since the common hidden menu code does not work on our device ( *#*#4636#*#* ), there is another way we must use.
1. Download this app from the Play Store: Force LTE Only (4G/5G)
2. Launch app and choose "METHOD3: (Android 11)"
3. Under Set Preferred Network Type dropdown, select the network type you want.
-- to get 4G/LTE and below, set to "LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA"
-- to get 5G, set to "NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA"
This was the only way to enable 5G for me since I am in Canada.
Only issue with this is that it may not stick once you reboot. You would have to follow these steps again.
Thanks man. This helped me with my Global variant. It got 5g to kick on when I couldn't see it in the menus.
Update - Found the shortcut keys to get directly to it
*#*#4636#*#*

I don't have the phone anymore, but when I did, I had tried that earlier; it never worked for me.

It didn't work on mine. When I punch in the final *, it just goes to my contact list.
Although the app ForceLTE mentioned earlier by TikiThePug did work perfectly.
I finally get 5G all day long on a T-Mo SIM.
It's such a fast, beautiful phone and now it has all its functionality.

Hey I just started using Verizon coming from Fi. I have an unlocked.pixel 6 from the Google store what should my settings be? I know I need NR but what else or what would work best. I'm on new York it that matters at all.
And I can get to the menu via *#*#4636#*#* I just need to know what would work best for me .
I keep trying to set to NR/LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA ( Only way to get full speed on 5G
for some reason my setting keep resetting to NL/LTE/GSM/WCDMA (Very slow as if running 3G but says 5G)
How do I get my setting to stick Oh I'm on T-Mobile Network

It's always going to set to what your network tells
This menu isn't actually real control
