Add Support for 5G, VoLTE, and VoNR in Unsupported Regions (e.g., China) #3607

Closed first-storm closed 5 months ago

first-storm commented 5 months ago

I'd like to request a feature for the Pixel series that allows enabling 5G, VoLTE, and VoNR in unsupported regions, such as China. Given the somewhat hacky nature of the implementation, it could be added as a toggle in the Developer Options.

References and Implementation:

  1. 5G Support:

    • Recently, Google inadvertently included a baseband that unlocks 5G for mainland China in the Android 14 QPR3 Beta2 firmware. The corresponding system version is beta-ap21.240216.010, and the baseband version is beta-g5300i-240215-240223-b-11487724. This baseband file might be useful and can be downloaded here: Download Link.

  2. VoLTE Implementation:

  3. Network Signal Guru App:

    • The app "Network Signal Guru" provides functionality to change the NR mode to SA+NSA, which could be a useful reference for implementing the 5G toggle.

This feature would significantly enhance the usability of Pixel devices in regions where they are not officially supported.

Thank you for considering this request!
