Hi Tech-savy Users,

Likely a potential solution from mobile tech-savy users.

Huawei Y5 2019-> https://consumer.huawei.com/mu/phones/y5-2019/specs/
Purchased via Big-W & hence Huawei-AU backed-it. Naughty of Huawei-AU to distribute a 4G phone in 2019 that have VoLTE compatibility-issue with AU-carriers…they blames the AU-carriers off-course.

The solution is likely more-than 'turn on VoLTE from phone's settings'.

Came across solutions that work for other brand-model but can't seems to get it working for mine,

I can't overcome 'This assumes that you have ADB and drivers properly setup beforehand' &/or 'It should say Shizuku is running' -> https://xdaforums.com/t/enable-volte-vowifi-in-unsupported-c…

Ideally, step-by-step instructions & note if it has been proven to work for Huawei Y5 2019.

Thanks SO much.

    Huawei is a bit expensive at the moment due to the $US

    Lebara indicate that the model is supported (and they re-sell Vodafone service)
    https://www.lebara.com.au/support/volte/

    According to https://consumer.huawei.com/au/support/content/en-gb06515435…

    Go to Settings > Mobile network > Mobile data . In the network settings area of SIM 1 or SIM 2, turn on the VoLTE calls switch.
    Then restart the phone.

    It should be this simple on Vodafone or Optus.
    If there is no "VoLTE calls switch", it probably flat out doesn't support VoLTE.

    Probably the easiest fix is just to churn to Boost.

      until Telstra switch off 3G in a few months

      • ESEMCE on 28/03/2024 - 16:12

        Optus are keeping 3G until September I recall?

        • bobokingdom on 28/03/2024 - 17:19

          Yes, the good news is just because PHONE is not compatible on Vodafone doesn't mean it isn't compatible on Optus. You just have to borrow a SIM and try it out. My Xiaomi 11 LIte NE is not compatible with VoLTE on Vodafone but works fine on Optus.

            @bobokingdom: Didn't think Vodafone was a problem for compatibility?
            I've switched to Optus on my Xiaomi Mi9T cause VoLTE didn't work on Telstra anymore.

    Time to upgrade phone ???
    That would be easiest fix.

    I had the exact same model as you … phone was VERY laggy in the end.
    Even things like typing SMS - there was a slight delay between pressing button + text on screen … BUT phone only has 2GB RAM !!!

    2GB RAM just doesn't cut it these days.
    I upgraded afew months ago.

    Personally - do like Huawei phones (would go back to one again in future) +++ camera sensor/photos … but ever since US gov crippled google services from them … basically made owning a Huawei phone useless in AU.

    Sorry - doesn't sort out your initial problem ,,, but just saying - since I had same model/phone as you.

    [EDIT] : just to add … had phone on Optus network (amaysim) - right up until i upgraded.
