Hi there,
I have an Asus Zenfone 10 on Android 15. In this release of android a new feature named mobile security settings became available which are supposed to signal and protect against surveillance on the mobile network side, like at a protest.
When I try to enable these settings on my device they are off again when I reenter these settings. Do these settings have some kind of prerequisite? Are they working on your device?
Thanks!
It requires some hardware support, which Zenfone probably doesn't have. In this case, Asus shouldn't have shown this setting at all if they don't support it. Unfortunately there's no way to enable it for you.

Wtf! Same situation for me!
Is this some more Asus bullshit? I am still mad that I can't unlock it
Edit: but also what is encrytion on normal mobile network supposed to be? Are calls somehow encrypted? I thought normal network is not encrypted anyway, how even, is there a key exchange or anything?
I struggled to find decent documentation on this feature.
But I suspect your carrier's settings override it, I'm not sure if a custom rom would help.
