QUOTE(wlteh @ Nov 26 2022, 10:38 AM) I’m using the following guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/converti...ersion.4365275/I’m not sure if it’s against the forum rules to share the link to XDA above, if yes then admin please delete my post ya.Bear in mind that you need to root your phone first. So you’ve to be very careful and there is a step that requires changing the phone’s SKU using a hex editor. If you’re unfamiliar with all these, you better don’t do it to avoid bricking your phone. Perform the conversion only if you’re technically comfortable to do it. These are the SKUs for Pixel 7: GVU6C - Global G03Z5 - Japan Disclaimer: Research before acting. The instructions require basic Linux/Android knowledge. You could brick your phone if you’re unsure what you're doing. I can only confirm that this works on my phone. But I'm not responsible for anything that happens to yours. Use at your own risk.I think there is a magisk module for the above ... I saw it somewhere in xda But as stated u need to be rooted

Only the pro model has been included.

Happened to me once a while.. just flipped Aeroplane Mode on and off will do the trick. On Hotlink prepaid by the way. (Assuming your SIM card already activated with VoLTE and VoLTE working on another phone?)

I'm using pixel 3XL, then Pixel 5 then now Pixel 7, Previous 2 pixel not supporting VoLTE. After calling them and restart my phone now I got my VoLTE.

For those with an unlocked bootloader, Google pay won't work, at least on an unrooted Nov stable build for the GP7 pro. But funny thing is, on the Android 13 QPR Beta, it can be set up and works. Just tried it this morning.
And the beta also has the clear calling feature, but that should come out in a stable build soon i suppose.

Called Maxis last night and got them to activate volte for me and seems like it’s working now. Initially they kept saying just turn it on in the phone settings but after a few rounds of explaining to them that they have to activate it on their end, finally only they understood.

Im thinking of moving to maxis. I think it's quite subjective because it depends a lot on the availability of the antennas/towers in that particular location. I'm in Melaka, so it may not be relevant to you if you're elsewhere. The best way for you to determine if the locations that you'll frequent most have the best signal strength is to ask your friends or colleagues who are also within the same location. For my case, I don't have much issues with signal strength in buildings/malls unless that area is relatively new, prolly without the antenna installed yet.

I have no doubt melaka has no problem with congestion. Enjoy your newly activated volte. Is vowifi available for you too?
