Join us (most of the bloat is removable through ADB).

True. But it's a pain.

Somehow, despite Google's offerings being simpler, they're definitely prettier. Sure they can be better, but... there's something about the Pixel experience which you don't necessarily get on the other OEMs (mostly the interface/visuals).

 

[shaheerk]

Have you tried PixelIMS patch for VoLTE and VoWifi services on your mobile?
For poor signals at home or office you can use Jazz's VoWifi, even some users are saying that Zong has also started testing VoWifi

That's for Tensor chips. Pixel 4 isn't tensor :/ I know the patch that you're talking about though.

Complaining to PTCL about this dialing thing feels like a mistake....

I've gotten over 10 phone calls in the last 24 hours asking me 'Sir issue resolve ho gaya?'

Then I say no, then the guy asks me to explain the issue to him. Rinse and repeat.

Meanwhile still radio silence from Zong even though they said it'll be resolved in 2 days and it's been a week.

Edit: PTCL finally closed the complaint saying the issue is on Zong's end and they did everything from their end.

Nope it works on other devices n processors as well.

If you haven't tried it before then you should try it and check if it works for you or not. Apart from Tensor I applied this patch to xiaomi phones and enabled VoLTE service.

Okay, then maybe this is a different patch? Could you share the link here, please?

 

[noumaan]

it's the same PixelIMS patch by kyujin-cho on github.

Ufone VoLTE working on a Galaxy S22 Ultra. Dialed *9921# immediately after getting a new SIM and within 5-10 mins the VoLTE icon showed up on top.

No 4G+/CA in RWP/ISB as far as I can tell. Just getting 15 MHz of B3, which seems to work fairly well at my place.

Speed is not too different from Zong in Bahria so might as well keep this, considering I get 10GB free data every month because of the PTCL connection.

Will be returning the Zong number since they have been completely useless at handling the incoming call complaint which is still not resolved after almost 10 days.

This is very reasonable speed since there is no CA involved. CCP is going to approve PTCL and Telenor merger in next couple of months and network merger will start immediately that too will start from Isb/RWP. After merger, PTCL will roll out at least 40 MHz 3 way CA 4G+ in Pakistan. Speed expected to grow further.
I am also using Ufone for data and PTCL calls as my secondary sim. Their LBO provides 5GB data, 5GB FB/WA, 100 Offnet minutes, and 5000 onnet minutes/sms in just Rs. 140 Load/week.

Where are you getting this?

Checked a bunch of different places in Isb/Rwp, can't find any Ufone B1 sites.

Also sometimes NetMonster can get the bandwidth wrong. Please check with ServiceMode by dialing *#0011# next time and choosing whichever SIM slot has your Ufone number.

It's in Phase 7 of Bahria Town.

Why its not showing 4G+ sign?

 

[zaeemulhassan4]

I am wondering the same. It should display a 4G+ sign.

Check with ServiceMode since you have a Samsung phone. I shared the code above.

NetMonster can be wrong at times, especially on MTK chipsets.

Really weird. Ufone is doing 2xCA with 15 MHz B3 + 5 MHz B1, but phones aren't showing the 4G+ icon despite total BW being 20 MHz. Seems like there's some requirement other than 20 MHz total BW that needs to be fulfilled to show the 4G+ icon.

Checked this in front of the big PTCL Exchange in Saddar RWP. Has a massive Ufone tower on top of it.

Speeds weren't particularly impressive but it was definitely usable. Browsing and everything working fine.

What does that UL CA NOT CONFIGURED mean?

What does that UL CA NOT CONFIGURED mean?

Upload link carrier aggregation.
U L C A

Carrier aggregation on uploads, AFAIK, is not a priority for any operator worldwide. They tend to focus more on downloads (give our share of uploads to downloads in real world scenarios).

 

[murtaza12]

What does that UL CA NOT CONFIGURED mean?

Shaheer already answered, but it's for upload CA.

No carrier in Pak uses it, not even Jazz. It's why our upload speeds on 4G are usually not even half of the download speed, especially in low signal areas.
