Just in case anyone wants clarification, On Kogan mobile with a p6pro with standard Android 13, June update (not beta etc).

 

5G - working without any changes needed.

 

VoLTE - working without any changes needed.

 

VoWiFi - working with Pixel IMS.

6a on skinny - no 5G, yes VoLTE (but had that before June update).



I took the plunge and bought the Pixel 7 - is the Japanese version. I get VOLTE but not 5G. Carrier settings are dates 2022-12

Does anyone have 5G on JP version of Pixel 7? Do i need to convert to Global version to get 5g?

I have 5G working on my Pixel 6 Pro on Skinny and the Pixel IMS patch.

 

Should it also work with the latest (June) update without the IMS patch?

I've got a Pixel 6 Pro on Skinny and no 5G, I reached out to Skinny support on Monday asking to check everything was provisioned \ setup for 5G on my account. Linked them to https://pixel.withgoogle.com/5G/ and a Geekzone thread where 5G hasn't been activated on Skinny accounts in the past, and required reaching out to support. Gave all the details about the June update on Pixels and 5G now working on this phone and Skinny aparently. This was before gajan stated doing the magic. Support told me I "might not be in 5G coverage sometimes" and that I could "buy a new sim and transfer my number if I wanted" instead of any actual understanding or adress of the problem. Still stuck on 4G. I feel like support completly dropped the ball and I ended up ordering a Kogan sim as the Skinny support was just utterly unable to help beyond copy pasting basic FAQs related to 5G.

Have you tried the Pixel IMS patch?
I had 5G working (on Skinny, with the patch) before the June update then 5G stopped working .
I reapplied the patch and 5G works again.
Nobody has replied to my question (2 posts ago) so I assume that the June update had not "fixed" it on P6Ps

it should just work with the June update - but gajan has indicated that Spark / Skinny need to enable auto provisioning for 5g on the 6a (and I guess also the 6). Not sure how long that will take, so in the meantime either message gajan or contact skinny support if it doesn't work.

On One.NZ it works on June release - no VOWIFI but I'm not fussed about that with the coverage I typically have.
