1 Operator does not support MMS anymore
2 Network: T-Mobile + tele.ring (MCC232/MNC3)
3 Network: Vodafone
4 Network: A1
5 It seems that there is a fix for O2 MMS settings.
6 MMS stuck on Sending.../Waiting... until mobile data is disabled
7 MMS Sending and recieving, at least from SFOS to SFOS, was possible without any fix.
8 SMS toggling: sometimes receiving does not work, sometimes sending.
9 It seems that 5.0.0.43 improved the situation but not yet fully functional
10 Untested or not enough tested in 5.0.0.43 yet

Shouldn’t we add a date column?

#3

Done.

(20 characters)

Edit: Looks like it was reverted? :thinking: Guessing some saved over the edit.

#4

Guess it was an edit conflict between me filling in the test result and you adding the column

#5

Please keep the alphabetical order.

Can’t test MMS
Hotspot works perfectly
Compared to the X10III, I think the VoLTE runs much better

Not sure how usefull the date would be. If the status changes it changes, and in the end this mostly for gathering some kind of overall picture of this short term “beta” test.

And yeah, watch out for the edit conflicts, I guess discourse does not handle those wery well.

Notes:

  • Voice In drops to 2.5G while call is incoming but does not ring, call is being dropped to mailbox/voicemail

  • App “Netmon VoLTE” sais “SMS capable: NO”

  • after Voice In drops to 2.5G, goes back to 4G, but LTE registration fails. Going in and out of flight mode makes registration work again

  • Network operator name is displayed on Lock Screen, but not in SIM Settings or Mobile Network SIM selector. Shows up as ‘Unknown’.

  • signal strength is always ‘100’ in Netmon VoLTE and collectd/systemdatascope.

Unisoc VoLTE implementation doesn’t have separate SMS support and SMS messages are always handled via regular radio interface.

Sailfish OS version: 5.0.0.29
SIM provider and country: Hot SI
Network provider and country (if roaming): -
Number of SIM cards in use and in which slot: 1 / 1

On A1 network Hot don’t seems to register VoLTE properly as the indicator just pulsates.
According to web pages of provider it should work. I did activate payable VoLTE option.
On startup SIM needs to be disabled and reenabled to be recognized. Maybe because of:

JollaC2 ofonod[19929]: Requested file structure differs from SIM: 6fb7

SIM is recognized properly on startup.

What is the expected state of 4g mobile data? It is not included in the table for obvious reason but it does not work in my case.

I’ve compared it with 10iii, (it seems VoLTE on 10iii cannot send out sms). Sending out an MMS on C2 has failed with “Problem with sending message”.

#13

4g mobile data should work, if it doesn’t work on some network logs might be helpful.

#14

Worked for me on a second try. Is this a repeat attempt or “just” once? (tbf, it’d be nice if it retried automatically once or twice if it failed the first time).

#16

on 10iii I had to switch to 3G to send out an sms, C2 can receive and send sms on 4G (VoLTE) with no issues. C2 failed to send an MMS, I did try twice.

#17

Installed as described, inserted SIM into slot 2 and tryied SMS, MMS, call, hotspot. Everything worked, I can browse during the call, I can have hotspot during the call. Status 4G all the time.

BUT! After short time (about 30 minutes) of testing, problems started. In that moment, I had SIM in slot 1. Photo via MMS not received (spinnig icon), but received when mobile data become disabled. Suddenly, cellular netwok settings removed. Finally, SIM is not recognized anymore in any slot. Utility to restart network subsytem does not help.

I think that VOLTE is implemented nicely, because it worked OK until something else broke. I observed similar situation (SIM not recognized after some time) also before, when I tryied SIM after initial setup (version 21, no VOLTE).

I had no 4g data just after installation of volte packages but I left the phone for some time and it worked. I cannot reproduce this problem, maybe it was something network related.

#19

Ok, good to hear. Please report if you have issues with mobile data later.

For now it seems that A1 is still the only network that doesn’t register. I sended the logs. I hope that it’s enough. If not just ping me.

@filip.k Could you verify that you have that ofono-vendor-unisoc-radio-plugin package installed?
