Pixel 9 problem with Voxi mobile (Vodafone)

Hi,

I have problem with my new Pixel 9. 7.4 installed.

So I setup the P9 on Thursday with 7.4 and using esim from my old Pixel 8.

Meanwhile I have Pixel 5 with 7.4 and a physical sim Lebara (Vodafone).

On Friday, yesterday, lunchtime family said they got a phone not connected error, I put the Lebara physical sim and rang Voxi for help after a long discussion and trying different changes, bar and unbar esim the Voxi esim worked until this morning(Saturday). After several hours of erasing the esim and resending esim QR code , three repeated attempts failed So they said get a physical sim from a Vodafone shop,I did and they setup with my number and it worked and was happy. That was short lived, on the way , on train, it failed again. Now at home I swapped the sims, putting the Lebara in the P9 and worked as also did the Voxi sim in the P5 . But I swapped them P9 Voxi and P5 Lebara and P9 fails.

In all this the P9 always recognised the sim whether physical or esim providers Voxi (Vodafone) or Lebara (Vodafone).

I’m going get a return from Curry’s, if they and probably test they could get P9 to work if the try different providers. Meanwhile do try Voxi help?

I’ve to P9 to flash back to Google before return.

I’ve tried android flash tool but doesnt returned to google, it only offers versions of 14.6.1 no option to install 16 or 15 ,7.4 is 16.

What do i do?

I think I have a similar problem since updating to iode 7.4 on my Pixel 8. Once the connection to Vodafone Germany (physical SIM) is lost (e.g. after turning airplane mode on and off, but strangely also after updating an app via Aurora Store) it does not connect again. Only rebooting the phone helps. No problems with iode 7.3 and below.

Sounds similar, now as I tried to using android flash it only offers 14.6.1 and flash different kernel option dates and reboots to Iode os 7.4 not Google and also leaves bootloader unlocked. So I cant take the phone back and also settings keeps crashing.

tried updater and it’s now in a boot loop

Good news at the moment , Voxi sim is working

OK, well I’ve managed to install iode 7.4 using the browser installer, so all is working , sim, bootloader locked , except that the usb port is not recognising my thumb drive.

Hope it remains so, just have to reinstall all my apps

Likely your Access Point Name (“APN”) settings need to be adjusted to accommodate your carrier. You can find these settings under “System Settings > Internet & network > SIMs > (your sim) > Access Point Names”.

Let us know the current settings and current carrier so we can assist.

Thanks, but I’ve returned the phone.

Not sure what replace pixel 5 , this my old before pixel 8, with. Had thought of fp6 but not confident as its 3mm wider than the pixel 5/8/9.

I like a compact phone

I also have a problem with my pixel 8. I am now on iodéos 7.5 and I had an esim from Simyo and suddendly I couldn’ t receive or make any phonecalls, the mobile internet was still working. Now I have a physical simcard and still the same problem. When I put my simcard into my old huawei p20 pro with stock rom everything is working fine. Does anyone have the solution for this problem. Can’t make any phonecalls for almost a week now.

It’s solved. I selected the KPN GPRS APN and changed the APN protocol from ipv4 to ipv4/ipv6. Did a reboot and it’s fixed.

I almost went back to the stock android because of this problem. Now I am happy again. :smile:

Im pleased you found a solution, I ended up for pixel going back to stock and selling the phone , as also had problem with optical fingerprint sensor being tempermental.

Got a pixel 9, it has a the better ulrasonic fingerprint sensor, as a replacement, but still had problem with iode and voxi, so dumped voxi for lebara (vodafone again) and no problems. I was given a Samsung S23 and Im liking it, Ive disabled, uninstalled , replace all samsung apps, removed samsung and google accounts and liking it now, its slightly smaller and lighter. My threat model is simple. Still have pixel 9 and tempted to install calyxos beta with is availble for pixels and moto’s.

APN settings are almost like DNS: network problems are always DNS (unless on mobile then they are always APN :slight_smile: )

On some test devices for OpenMobile, I am noticing with iodéOS 7.4 that mobile data wasn’t working, but manually putting in the correct APN settings and it just works. The problems are at likely LineageOS and their default carrier APN settings. In my case, the carrier settings had changed more than a year ago (“upgraded to 5G network”), but LineageOS update not made. I am looking to make a PR there or at least better report it.

So I am not saying it will work for @kenrw8 but you need to get carrier settings direct from carrier documentation as the values could well have changed since the many third party sites that list the settings have reported them. I didn’t yet see what carrier or country you are in, if you are willing to share we can help track them down. UPDATE: I don’t know how I missed it, but Voxi mobile (Vodaphone), but what country?
