after some months of using, i know that after start using volte, 4G internet sometimes stop working, maybe after call/sms only thing that helps is to disable/enable data in indicators (no reboot required)
Eric from poco reported that adding new APN may help

For those interested in activating VoLTE on the Poco X3, here are the steps I followed:

After enabling VoLTE, I noticed errors in the logs related to context 1 of ofono. To address this, I replaced this context with a new APN "Internet & MMS" using the commands available in /usr/share/ofono/scripts/.
I also removed an unused connection using ncli connection.

While I can't guarantee that these modifications are the solution, I haven't encountered any issues since.

It's important to note that after exiting airplane mode, the poco often struggles to reconnect to VoLTE without a reboot.

Is this thread only for working reports? cos it doesn't work for me, on either of my phones

libremax

@Caedem Yes, only what works, this thread will be useful if it makes it easier to choose a suitable device for those who absolutely need VoLTE.

I'm interested in trying this in the USA. I want to be sure of the model of the Note 9 Pro before I buy one. Is it the Global coverage model? I assume unlocked. (I've installed UT on a few phones and so I am experienced with the struggle to get a really unlocked used phone.) The 9S model is different and not working here, right?

Thank you.

I also have observed that, with volte off, phone range icon in indicators bar shows empty when in a call.
With volte on, phone icon shows full.

In both cases call works normally

@alagirialagiri
This issue has to be reported to the porter(s) and/or maintainer(s) of the port.
You can find the gitlab repo on the device's page: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
Then you can comment or create the issue if it doesn't exist yet.

@Vlad-Nirky I've looked at a number of used phone sales sites and am unable to find a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, that is in reasonable condition, that I could use here in the USA.

One popped up on Ebay and I've ordered it. I'll be able to participate now.

Great!

@RobTheBold I've tried this phone (Global model) with AT&T, RedPocket (AT&T) and Mint Mobile (T-Mobile). The first two don't work at all. Mint works for voice and SMS but not MMS or data. I'm giving up on this one and returning it to EBay.

I just installed 24.04 stable on Fairphone 5, and although calls worked, mobile data hasn't been. I'll keep you updated if I find any solutions: I'm in the UK with Vodafone as a provider.

I've upgraded my vollaphone 22 to 24.04-1.1 and enabled voLTE, for now everything seems to work as expected with "free mobile" (french provider). The phone stays in LTE while I call, and i can browse the web.

If I see any bug I will get back to you!

Never mind, it seemed to have been a temporary issue thankfully, hopefully it won't bother anyone!

The experience I had from it and a possible 'solution' (if that's a reasonable term for it) can be found here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/91229

I just got over 250MB a second on the NORD n10 5g with VOLTE ive been hearing news about shutdown of 4g on t-mobile starting next month and only certain 4g devices will run the question would be since I am getting 250 sometimes 500mb would that be stand along 5g and the only reason I am asking is iver heard reports oneplus didnt enable sa in the x51 firmware but feels like im getting standalone speeds I just hope this phone continues to work after the phase out of 4g how much speed do we need LOL!!

If this is not planned obsolescence I don't know what it is.

While in France we still have at least on solid year before 2G disappears, and 3-4 years before 3G disappears!
