| henk | oh shit, my provider is disabling 3G and I need to use VoLTE now. I have 5 days left and I’m panicking … I’m using a "Volla Phone" (Gigaset GS290, I think?). does anyone happen to be able to point me to relevant resources? or outright tell me what to do? | 13:40 |
|---|---|---|
| henk | https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/beta-volte-on-the-xperia-10-iii-disabled-by-default/11492 suggests that I cannot use it, is that correct? | 13:40 |
| Nico | I'm pretty sure I am using volte on my 10III | 13:42 |
| Nico | Do you mean using it on the Volla? | 13:42 |
| henk | Nico: yes, I do | 13:43 |
| Nico | check your settings under mobile network | 13:43 |
| henk | as in: that article suggests that it is not available on other devices than xperia 10III … | 13:43 |
| Nico | If it doesn't say volte, then likely you can't, yes | 13:43 |
| Nico | You will fall back to 2G calls though, I think? | 13:43 |
| x2s | There's a list about VoLTE: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/volte-provider-support/11501 | 13:43 |
| Nico | No, it also works on the 10II, iirc | 13:44 |
| henk | Nico: yeah, no option for VoLTE there. and AFAIK 2G is already disabled here since 2023 | 13:44 |
| henk | x2s: yeah, but that’s just provider support, not phone model support, at least not that much … | 13:45 |
| x2s | who created the port for the GS290? Maybe they know more | 13:47 |
| henk | piggz[m]: ^ | 13:49 |
| henk | https://www.piggz.co.uk/index.php/apps/cms_pico/pico_proxy/pgz/blog/volla-manual-install is dead | 13:49 |
| henk | and https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-hardware-adaptations/14081 suggests that 4.5 is the latest release, which I already have | 13:50 |
| henk | potentially having to migrate to another phone in the next 5 days to be able to still use my phone kinda stresses me out a bit :D | 13:50 |
| x2s | yeah, I understand that | 13:53 |
| x2s | .oO( and when is the V port ready... yes I know that there are big api changes somewhere and I'm sad I can't help :( | 13:53 |
| mal | piggz[m]: ^ | 14:27 |
| piggz[m] | hi... | 14:27 |
| piggz[m] | so ... volte could very well work on the gs290, ive note tested it, but it does work on the quintus/algiz | 14:28 |
| piggz[m] | hard to keep up to date with all ports! | 14:28 |
| piggz[m] | x2s: if you are confident in managinf repos on your phone, you could try this... | 14:57 |
| piggz[m] | s/managing | 14:57 |
| piggz[m] | add repo https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/volla:/yggdrasil/sailfish_latest_aarch64/ | 14:57 |
| piggz[m] | install package ofono-binder-plugin-ext-mtk , restart ofono or device, and see if you get volte | 14:58 |
| x2s | Is it possible that you meant henk here, piggz[m]? | 14:59 |
| piggz[m] | ah, yes | 14:59 |
| piggz[m] | sorry :) | 14:59 |
| x2s | np :) | 15:00 |
| *** poetaster is now known as Guest17358 | 15:02 | |
| henk | piggz[m]: I got a warning about the repo being unsigned and then another one for the package: »ofono-binder-plugin-ext-mtk-1.0.0+main.20240816125704.322b8ce-1.3.1.bso.aarch64 (nemo-yggdrasil): Signature verification failed [6-File is unsigned]«. is that expected? | 15:28 |
| piggz[m] | that should be fine | 15:37 |
| mal | why is that error happening | 15:37 |
| piggz[m] | mal: maybe he is on the testing: repos, and this is a devel: package? is different signing used? | 15:40 |
| henk | is there a way to not get these errors? import additional keys or something? | 15:42 |
| piggz[m] | im sure tbh, and im going out soon. if you test the package, i can add it to the testing: repos ... some confirmation of it working would be good | 15:43 |
| henk | now I have a point "4G calling (beta)" in the "Mobile network" settings, but below that it says "not registered" and I cannot activate it. nothing happens when I tap that option. | 15:53 |
| henk | piggz[m]: ^ | 15:53 |
| piggz[m] | id like to have seen it switch to 'registering' .... ill test it out over the weekend on that device, it works on my other volla | 15:54 |
| piggz[m] | can you check what ofono* packages you have installed? | 15:55 |
| henk | piggz[m]: https://bpa.st/WMGA | 16:00 |
| piggz[m] | @henk ah, you need to swap ofono-ril-plugin for ofono-binder-plugin | 16:44 |
| piggz[m] | However, you will get warnings about a broken system | 16:44 |
| piggz[m] | If you try, choose option 3 to ignore | 16:44 |
| henk | piggz[m]: to verify this is the kind of breakage you expect: https://bpa.st/3VHQ | 17:05 |
| henk | also because this does not uninstall ofono-ril-plugin … | 17:07 |
| mal | zypper in ofono-binder-plugin -ofono-ril-binder-plugin -ofono-ril-plugin | 17:09 |
| henk | still not happy, but I guess that’s the expectation, right? https://bpa.st/AEMA | 17:11 |
| mal | solution 3 | 17:12 |
| mal | i.e. break patterns-sailfish-device-adaptation-yggdrasil | 17:12 |
| henk | yep | 17:14 |
| henk | now the "4G calling (beta)" item is blinking … | 17:14 |
| henk | I did `systemctl restart ofono` | 17:14 |
| mal | but only blinking? | 17:20 |
| henk | yeah | 17:20 |
| mal | maybe try rebooting | 17:20 |
| henk | will do, in around an hour or so, though | 17:21 |
| henk | thanks! | 17:21 |
| henk | mal, piggz[m]: after rebooting: still blinking. | 18:52 |
| piggz[m] | henk: do calls work otherwise, dropping to 3g? | 21:14 |
| piggz[m] | when i put it on the volla quintus, it actually took months for that indicator to stop flashing and actually register with volte! | 21:14 |
| piggz[m] | no idea why it finally worked | 21:14 |
| piggz[m] | i presume something carrier related | 21:14 |
| piggz[m] | when i get time, i will try out on a range of other vollas | 21:15 |
| henk | piggz[m]: oh, no, it says "no network coverage" | 21:19 |
| henk | hm, not even when I switch "4G calling" off and set the network to "prefer 3G" … | 21:20 |
| piggz[m] | ok .. probably ofono needs some binder configuration, | 21:21 |
| piggz[m] | henk: the yggdrasil/gs290 doesnt have the binder config... i can add it tomorrow, but you could add this file https://github.com/HelloVolla/droid-config-halium-algiz/blob/master/sparse/etc/ofono/binder.conf | 21:21 |
| henk | I already have this file but without that line: radioInterface=1.4 | 21:24 |
| henk | I added it now | 21:24 |
| piggz[m] | i dont know what version of the interface is on that device.... | 21:24 |
| piggz[m] | you may need to look at the android interfaces to check the version | 21:24 |
| piggz[m] | i forget how ... mal ? | 21:24 |
| piggz[m] | but, you want to get signal/calls working with binder first, before getting volte too | 21:25 |
| piggz[m] | maybe some ofono logs too would be handy | 21:26 |
| henk | restarted ofono: calling works again. switched on 4G calling: calling works. | 21:26 |
| piggz[m] | does it say registered yet? | 21:26 |
| henk | I’m not really certain but during phone calls it shows "3.5G" on the top and I think before it was just "3G" … | 21:26 |
| henk | but it does that in both status: with 4G calling enabled and disabled. | 21:27 |
| piggz[m] | i think that probably means its still downgrading | 21:27 |
| henk | well, before I installed those packages, if at all. didn’t pay attention during the time in between doing that and deploying the binder.conf. | 21:27 |
| henk | "look at the android interfaces" I have no idea what that could mean or how to do it. can you elaborate please? | 21:28 |
| henk | ofono logs: I’ll see what I can find! | 21:28 |
| henk | piggz[m]: no, still blinking and saying "not registered" | 21:29 |
| henk | the ofono log suggests that 1.4 exists but also 1.2 and 1.0 seem to exist … I’ll upload the logs shortly | 21:44 |
| henk | are they safe to share publicly or do they contain private data? | 21:44 |
| mal | piggz[m]: binder-list | 21:57 |
| henk | https://bpa.st/M54Q | 21:58 |
| mal | I would use 1.4 | 21:58 |
| henk | I seem to have 1.0 through 1.4‽ | 21:59 |
| mal | ofono debug logs from call might contain phonenumber and imei maybe | 21:59 |
| henk | yeah, imeis are in there, phone number doesn’t seem to be | 22:02 |
| henk | sharing the imei should not really be a problem, right? | 22:03 |
| mal | that should not be shared | 22:03 |
| henk | oh ok, thanks | 22:06 |
