Thank you for your answers. My new G7 Play USA variant XT1952-4 definitely supports VoLTE. T-Mobile confirms that my IMEI is supported with their VoLTE. Everything is as it should be to enable VoLTE except the [Settings] do not provide a switch for it, and an icon never indicates it. Screenshot...

T-mobile SIM which provided VoLTE on my old phone. The [Settings] option on the new Moto G7 Play is supposed to be called [Enhanced 4G LTE Mode]. There aren't any other [Settings] indicating anything to enable VoLTE such as your suggestions.

New phone in service for 1 month. It's supposed to be VoLTE capable. Motorola Moto G7 Play model XT1952-4 (USA Variant used in USA) Android 9. Has never displayed the setting to enable "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode". The status bar icon displays LTE but there has never been an icon indicating VoLTE. The...

This is what I see when I look for the list of battery usage by each app: Settings > Battery > ┇ > Battery Usage > "Battery usage data isn't available". Questions: Why? How to fix? Thanks! Nokia 3.1 Android 9 (Android ONE version)

OS = Nokia 3.1 Android 8.1 Oreo branded "Android One". I can't find any function in my phone to disallow some apps from auto-loading at phone boot startup. I'm want to control which apps load at startup because some are infrequently used but are always running in the background using resources...

"Endurance" types of microSD cards are made for constant writing in dashboard cams and security cams. So will "endurance" cards provide increased durability and longevity over "regular" cards when running apps from microSD adoptable memory in smartphones?

Join the club. SD card memory extension is a marketing tool scam.

The whole SD card thing is a marketing tool myth. Nothing but over-hyped claims, quirky software implementation, and failed hardware.

My Nokia 3.1 Android 8.1 doesn't have that capability anywhere in the normal User Interface. Maybe some techie genius has a way by getting into the Android internals. But it seems that the most knowledgeable techies in the smartphone and Android forums are in agreement that relying on any SD...

I have the same issues as the OP "Flonne" with a Nokia 3.1, Android 8.1 branded "Android One", with a Samsung SD card. Your screenshots are virtually identical to what I see in all of the circumstances you depict. I'm new to smartphones and it seems to me that the phone hardware and Android OS...

Excellent reply. Thank you for taking the time to tutor a newbie. Very sage advice, indeed. Like you said, it's a small and temporary blunder. I'm just going to chill and learn for now before upgrading.

Well, that's disappointing. I fall into the category of "..cheap phones thinking they can save money...". Yes, I'm new to smart phones. When I installed the SD card Oreo gave the choice of formatting "internal" or "portable". I did "internal" After doing pre-purchase research I bought the...

There appears to be widespread obsession with storing everything possible on a phone's SD card. I've read Android (I have 8.1 Oreo) uses an SD card formatted "internal" not "portable" the same as the factory-built internal memory. What difference does it make if the non-removable factory-built...

The result of my field test is exactly what you said. The triangular signal strength indicator was variably "filled" according to variable signal strength as I traveled through town. Occasionally the status bar phone icon displayed "LTE" which is another indicator I didn't know about. The manual...

Sorry, by the time you figured it out I was still working on my last lame reply. Thanks so much. I still promise to get back to you after I actually see a less-than-best indication, just a a courtesy FYI.
