Man of Honour
Yeah min font size is already low, but as mentioned this is how my nova is set up.
On another note, I have been observing a strange quirk, I'm on EE and in the network>SIMs screen there is no option to toggle network mode as I prefer to use 4G instead of 5G, the speeds are typically the same anyway at around 400Mbps average but 5G always drains more battery as not all areas I'm around have strong enough signal for the radio to not be laboured on 5G.
Now the option to toggle isn't in there at all, and also no VoLTE option. EE has not enabled 5G calling yet so when you make a call on 5G it reverts to 4G for HD voice (when calling a regular number) or HD+ when calling another phone compatible with HD+. I can see the icons in the call history next to each number be it wifi calling or HD voice, but the indicator icon in the notification tray always shows 5G whereas on other phones it has always shown 4G and VoLTE icons when actively using 4G etc. The S24 Ultra shows the icons exactly as expected and has all the options so this does seem like a specific issue with the Pixel. I even put the SIM into the Doogee S200 and the 4G + VoLTE icons appeared that, the S200 uses stock Android 14.
I phoned EE and the guy I spoke to was equally puzzled, he could see on their back end the frequencies I was connecting each call at which indicated the phone was indeed using 4G for calls when not using wifi calling, and as far as he knew the option to pick a network mode and choose VoLTE should be in network settings. He sounded like one of us to be fairy, and said he lives for this sort of weird puzzle to try to get to the bottom of
As a last resort for the evening he reset my SIM and pushed a SIM update through so I had to restart the phone. He will call me back later in the evening to find out if there's been any change and in the meantime I have been doing my own research and found a tech menu in the Pixel dialler *#*#4636#*#* - Go into the Phone Information option at the top and here you can see connected modes, metrics and a dropdown selector to choose network mode. The NR referred t in the default selection is 5G, it should be defaulting to NR/LTE/WCDMA, I can select LTE/CDMA which enables 4G, the CDMA being 2G fallback for emergencies which is normal and now I can see 4G being displayed up top, though still no VoLTE indicator but the fact that I can see "HD" next to the call log entries tells me 4G voice is working as intended, just randomly for some reason the Pixel 9 is not giving the options in settings to toggle them manually.
Rather a weird one but everything seems to be working...
