The hardware is capable of CA, but the CA combos (B1+B3, B3+B8, B1+B3+B8, B3+B5 etc) used in Pak are disabled on U variants because they are not used in North America. Check XDA, you might be able to enable certain CA combos to get it partially working.

Thank you followed your advice and is is now working nicely

Just sharing my experience that on Google Pixel 7 we can use dual eSims simultaneously in Pakistan.

Just sharing my experience that on Google Pixel 7 we can use dual eSims simultaneously in Pakistan.

How? Can you explain what you did?

I don't have two SIMs, so I'm just curious how it works.

 

[noumaan]

Pixel 7 is already dual sim mobile (1 physical sim + 1 eSim). On the last feature update, they have enabled to use dual eSims simultaneously and it is working on telecom networks of Pakistan.

Which mobile are you using ?

 

[shaheerk]

Pixel 4... on its last legs.

Edit: Do you have VoLTE working though?

 

[noumaan]

Then it should work on your mobile too. Have you tried dual eSims?
VoLTE and VoWifi is working.

 

[shaheerk]

Nah, I only have one SIM (the battery is too small for dual sim operation). And VoLTE... did you get it working via root or something?

 

[noumaan]

Google Pixel has not officially launched in this region so Jazz and Google will not officially offer these services. So I applied the Pixel IMS patch to bypass carrier support check for those options.

 

[shaheerk]

Oooh... can you link that up here, please?

 

[noumaan]

They are saying it supports Pixel 6 and 7 but you can try it.
Pixel IMS Patch

 

[shaheerk]

Sigh. I'll explore. Thanks.

So dumb Google's blocked this.

 

[noumaan]

Actually Google didn't block it because we can use it on our phone if a carrier allows it. Carriers ask all manufacturers to issue carrier setting patches to their mobile phones as per their configuration, this service is automatically enabled if manufacturers issue patches to their customers.

 

[noumaan]

I think the same requirement applies to 5G networks and if this true then any mobile phone which is not launched in Pakistan will not run on 5G network.

 

[shaheerk]

I read somewhere that markets where Google does not officially sell the phone don't have the feature enabled, and from what I read on the link above, the whitelisting is an override of the list... am I even making sense? lol

Pixel IMS: Rootless replacement for Tensor Pixel VoLTE patch - kyujin-cho/pixel-volte-patch

github.com

From my research, this patch won't work on 5G cause that's more technical or maybe that has a whitelisting... well, it's not relevant in the case of Pakistan, so...

Speaking of the Pixel 7, how quickly does it heat up in your experience? I presume you're in one of the major cities where temperatures cross 40 C easily during the summers, so how does the phone behave in those temperatures (given Tensor)?

 

[noumaan]

From my research, this patch won't work on 5G

Yes you are right, this is not for 5G.

Speaking of the Pixel 7, how quickly does it heat up in your experience?

My use is normal(calling, messaging, ig and sc), I'm not gaming on this phone so in my overall experience it's temperature is normal.
