A bit disappointed. I bought an Xperia 10 II two days ago because the XA2 I used the last 5 years died of bugs.
And now I had this problem, too. Disable 4G Calling (beta) worked. Even when disabled, the icon “4G” is shown, but calls work.
What does this “4G calling (beta)” option mean? Beta, because it’s only LTE?
I wonder, why the topic still shows “solved”.
The icon “4G” tells that the phone is currently connected to a 4G network. If you start browsing and hence downloading/uploading data, the transfer is done over the 4G network. However (since you disabled “4G calling” (VoLTE)), the phone will switch to a 3G or 2G network for phone calls. The icon will show 2G or 3G during phone calls.
“4G calling (beta)” means that the phone supports VoLTE but the implementation is not final. Issues may occur on some networks or use cases.
Similar problem but not identical. I can send sms, but if I copy paste it into the inout field ans hit send, it will show sent, but receiver never receive the message.
I can confirm this with Xperia 10 II and latest SFOS, with VoLTE enabled it will not be possible to send a sms, but if you disable it, it will send normally. When can we expect this issue to be solved, as it is a bit embarrassing to always have to disable VoLTE to be able to send SMS and to again reactivate it to be able to call without any issues. Thanks really much in advance.

There is no general problem with VoLTE and sending SMS. Vofafone Germany, 10 III, 4.5.0.24 works alright.
Still not working Telefonica Germany, 10 III, 4.5.0.24
Same problem here for other provider, Drillisch/PremiumSIM Germany, Xperia 10 III, 4.5.0.25. SMS does not work with VoLTE on.
Hello,
Could you please follow the instructions below to get some logs for us to research the issue further?
devel-su
journalctl -u ofono.service -u user@100000.service --output=export -f > volte_sms.log
Max Musterman or similar.Log file is done, but cannot attach it since it contains more than the allowed number of characters for a post. Anything I can delete from the log such as entries with with SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=xt9-server ?
Did you try to paste or to attach the file?
Please try to attach it to your message. If attaching does not work please send me a private message so I can send you my email address to mail it to me.
@thaodan:
I also have this problem (o2 Germany). I wanted to make the logfile like described. I didnt find any phone numbers or contact details inside, so perhaps something went wrong^^. If you think, its still useful I can send it to you.
Hi, I followed the steps.
Try to attach the file: …
How to attach files (no pictures)?

Please pm me.
Thank you
Still a problem with upgraded 4.6 Xperia III Vodafone UK Contract
I downloaded “ofono-binder-plugin-1.1.3-1.3.1.jolla.aarch64.rpm” from the 4.4.0.68 repos and installed it on 4.6.0.15 and rebooted.
After enabling VoLTE I can send smses now (TDC, Denmark) but not use 4G while in a call so I suspect it does not use. Any specific string to grep for in the journalctl log for ofono to confirm this?
UPDATE: If somebody have an Xperia 10 iii laying around with a problematic carrier in regards to VoLTE if possible they could try installing SFOS 4.4.0.68 and test if data works while in a call using VoLTE. I might try this later on.
OUTDATED: Look down below for proper solution as this will result in missing waiting tone whole calling somebody with VoLTE enbavled.
TL;DR: Reinstall with Android 13 fw and Android 11 binaries when reinstalling SFOS to get VoLTE working.
I just reinstalled my Xperia 10 iii with Android 13 62. 2 .A.0.533 using EMMA on Windows, then installing Sailfish 4.4.0.64 with Android 11 binaries (SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_11_4.19_v9a_lena.zip) as stated in the original Linux install instructions. Only thing I did differently was to run sudo ./flash.sh --extra-opts “-S 512K” to get around this error: " FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed)"
To my surprise VoLTE worked after updating to 4.4.0.68, keeps working after upgrading to 4.4.0.72 (not a stop release) and 4.5.0.25 and 4.6.0.15. I can browse the internet over 4G while in a call and send and receive text messages at the same time. I have Hallo DK which is a on the Danish TDC mobile network.
There might be an easier way to do this and preserve SFOS installation with settings according to this: Android 13 and SailfishOS on Xperia 10 III - #121 by olf
TL;DR: Android 11 fw with Android 12 binaries gives the best result in my test.
Proper solution which will not require reinstallation if SailfishOS was installed ontop of Android 11 base.
I got the best result by installing the Android 12 binaries ontop of SailfishOS installed on an Android 11 base as the solution mentioned below result in no waiting tone while calling people using VoLTE.
First of get the Android 12 v2a binaries here: Software binaries for AOSP Android 12.0 – Kernel 4.19 – Lena (v2) | Developer World and extract them.
If you’re sure your phone ran Android 11 prior to installing SailfishOS you can simply power if off, holding Volume Up while connecting the USB-cable and the flashing the Android 12 binaries using these commands:
fastboot flash oem_a SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_12_4.19_v2a_lena.img -S 512K
fastboot flash oem_b SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_12_4.19_v2a_lena.img -S 512K
fastboot reboot
If above commands fails on Linux/Mac you will need to add “sudo” at the start of each command. Also make sure you have “cd” to the correct directory containing the extracted binaries (one file).
I’ve tried lots of stuff, eg. Android 12 base with Android 11 and 12 binaries which neither way gave me wifi. Do yourself a favor and use Android 11. It’s worth the hassle setting up a Windows machine with Emma as at least in my case all quirks seem to be gone (broken VoLTE, unable to send sms with VoLTE, missing waiting tone with VoLTE and possibly also echo issues in non-VoLTE calls)
To me this seems to be provider related. I tried the 12 binaries with Android 11 as described above, but unfortunately i am still not able to send SMS, when Volte is enabled.
Is here some with the xiii with latest Software and o2 Germany and working Volte with SMS? If yes, could you please provide your mobile data and MMS settings?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Lukas
