Holyyyyyyyy there is a way to enable 5g network on 1 iv .hk set

Got myself Xperia 5 IV Hong Kong version. VOLTE works flawlessly out of the box on Maxis, Digi and Yoodo

Awesome phone. No overheating. Upgraded from Xperia 10 IV

May I know who and where you bought it from?
I asked a few seller before and told me volte won’t work.
I had Xperia 5 ii HK version earlier and volte not working
If the volte work with newer Xperia phone from HK or your seller, I may wan to get the Xperia 1 IV.
Thanks in advance

Does it go back to 4g after a while

I bought xperia 10 iv before that. Also hong kong version. And volte didn't work. I had to flash SEA firmware. Then only volte works.

However, with the Xperia 5 iv, volte works right away. Didn't do anything.

For xperia 1 iv, I'm not sure if it will be like 5 iv or 10 iv.

I bought direct from Hong Kong. There are many sellers on shopee who sell xperia from Hong Kong.

The input itself need to support some hdmi protocol that enable type c usage right?

only possible is USB-C converter to HDMI connector.. probably can try go to some local camera store and ask for tryout on whatever cable they have.. as i dont remember they did mentioned compatible with third party camera.. but in theory, it should support as long as your camera support Video Output.. z7 ii consider one of flagship..
but even some of Sony camera require firmware update in order to use External Monitor.. So im afraid might not compatible to nikon camera but can try out again.. see any friend do ahve sony camera which can try out and eliminate your connector issue..

Took me a while to figure it out, alas, manage to solve it.



Now just need to find a Hot shoes and a compatible phone holder.

Random cable also support HDMI?
I thought need HDMI certified Type A/Type C cables only can use

Thanks to reply Mr Gray.
From your experience, looks like default HK firmware can now be compatible with Malaysia volte - at least for Xperia 5iv as u shared u didn’t flash it like what you did with your Xperia 10 iv. - Sounds exciting to me honestly and I really wanna go back to Xperia.
Loved my Xperia 5ii and forced to give up as I have problems with missed calls/unreachable due to volte.
I may consider getting Xperia 5 iv then.. just that considered Xperia 1 iv for bigger screen.
Thanks again!

Did you try out on other phone and ensure your sim support VoLTE? As example, in Xperia 1 and I did contact Celcom customer service to enable VoLTE. However my XPERIA 1 is Malaysia set. Before that, same sim card but no volte. Now using Xperia 1 IV and also got VoLTE.. even Xperia 1 IV M'sia stock also came from HK and Sonymalaysia get it to sea firmware...

I am now using s22 with volte which was enabled way earlier.
Btw, your Xperia iv is official Malaysia or HK unit?

I thought malaysia stock come from official reseller (T##R##), etc

Direct import by Sony Malaysia through Sony Asia (Hong Kong).. limited units only as very minimal demands in local market.. somehow they have started to provide after sale service - service centre from Mark 4 devices and onwards.. previously Xperia phone only covered 1 to 1 replacement if broken within warranty period.. now they provide repair based on the news I heard..

1 to 1 better (like certain company)

Repair based on broken parts, gg if certain part damaged (unexpectedly) by repairer/technician by mistake

how hard is it to flash to SEA rom?

now i can see that 10 IV got price drop down to 1.8k , but i'm not sure the extra cost for local unit is worth it compared to HK set.

Found 1 taiwanese that provide side edge protection in Penang . It's good especially who use Sony style cover where side protection is the least for phone..
