Hi guys, I've just recently gotten myself a XZ3, everything is fine, phone function are top notch, the only complain I would give is that the NFC tap and pay (not QR pay) i still unable to do the settings, lack of navigation gesture (Android 10) and last but the most important thing for me is making phone calls, I am talking about the old school phone calls whereby you call using the traditional method and not the whatsapp or wechat kind, anyone facing this same problem as me? if so I really need advice on how to resolve this issue, as I rely heavily on making phone calls on my daily task. Thank you in advance captain(s).

Hi,
I owned an xz3 six months back.
I was on xox and had no issues with calling. Maybe recent move to remove 3g networks is hurting your connectivity? You can try replacing your sim card for a newer one in case it might be that.
I have already sold my xz3 for a pixel 3. About to sell this and try another phone too.

Just a quick update, today I've just replaced my sim card, and the traditional phone call issue still persist, I come to the conclusion that I can only make a phone call if the line is very very good, if its below than LTE+, the call will either not go through, or the party from the other end can't hear clearly during the calls. Any advice to resolve this issue? As my previous Phone Xiaomi A3 has no issue to make phone calls even if the line is not perfect.

If you are using the traditional call method, this means that you are on 2G during calls
Current telcos has no VOLTE support for Sony models especially for oversea models

With VoLTE support, the calls will be on the 2G network which is crap and very similar to ART900 or ATUR450 analog calls.

The only way is to change to a better phone with VoLTE support.

You have to forgive me as I am not quite familiar with these terms "VoLTE, ART900 & ATUR450" as I am just a common folk who is just a huge fan of Stock Android, but let me try to level with you guys here, these terms u speak of are the requirements to make a traditional phone calls, and most of the Malaysian Telco has close to none support on Sony phones, therefore the only solution for me to use traditional call method is to change my phone. Man this is a tough pill to swallow ngl, I am feeling kind of sad that I bought the XZ3 and I am unable to fully utilize it.

U will need a brand new phone with support for Voice over LTE (4G). In short, a new 4G or 5G phone not older than 3 years old.

If you have experience in rooting phones you can go through this route: root>disable volte checking in the main file (i forget which one)>unroot
This is the only way to get volte in any phones if the telco does not officially support volte for devices

If you insist of getting new phone, you may keep that sony as a backup phone

Really appreciate everyone's reply, I just got this phone recently and not planning to change it anytime soon, if rooting is an option to enable a reliable Phone Calls, then I would like to learn what Rooting is, and what are the issues that I must be aware when rooting a phone. Hopefully someone will an experience in rooting is able to guide me, that would be helpful. As I just found out that "OK Google" Does not work in XZ3 either, really disappointing for a flagship phone to have soo many issues.
