Would anyone be able to confirm for sure that the duos variant will work on wind network in canada. If not what exynos variant will?
If anyone has an SM-N930F or FD they can check hopefully with
*#2263# in the dailer and go to band STACK 1 (if FD). If it does nothing you need to download something called Shortcut Master on a rooted phone and find it from the list (code 2263)
You will see various bands and NOT SUPP if its not supported on the device.
Hi guys,
I just wonder if M9 supports VoLTE calling. My carrier told me that HTC M9 will never support this function because I have to have stock rom literally from my Vodafone Czech carrier. But it seems to me that in that case nobody with alternative roms could use this function so my question is..does it support VoLTE if I will root my device and install some patch what I've seen here for volte support or do I have to install another Rom which supports VoLTE or any other ideas? Does my carrier have to really support precisely my model or is it just software issue on my side? I have newest Android 7 stock. Thanks for all replies!
Yes, the M9 absolutely supports VoLTE. Disclaimer: I have one on the desk next to me fully operational on a large carrier in the USA.
Given that, your network and your device work in unison to make the 'magic' work. You'll need an IMS APN programmed in the device, and one in the LTE network that validates the new default (signalling) bearer. My suggestion is to chat with a knowledgeable tech support rep. at your carrier, and be sure to ask if there's extra charge for the VoLTE. Since carriers understand that legacy circuit switched infrastructure has a limited future, they *should* be willing to move all your voice/SMS/MMS over to the IMS/LTE network they've invested in.
Best of luck.

Thanks for detail info. VoLTE is new in our country so I couldn't get any tech info even from my carrier. And I already found out that VoLTE isn't extra charged and even video calls are for the same price so that's great but I have to find precise info about IME apn setting. I hope somebody tell me precise settings. Thanks for info again!
Volte is carrier dependent. Both phones must be capable, both carriers must be capable. The problem is that Volte is not cross carrier at the moment so you and the person you're calling must both be on the SAME carrier, the carrier must be Volte capable, both with Volte compatible phones, both in a 4g signal area.
4g is a data only protocol with voice capabilities "patched" in to it. 4g was NEVER designed to carry voice signals so don't expect carriers to be in a hurry to implement Volte when 5g is just around the corner.
As to the answer to your question. Yes, The m9 is in fact Volte capable so it is purely down to the carrier investing in new technology. Carriers are NOT obliged to roll out Volte in any case. It is purely a case of demand vs supply. We already have a perfectly good 2g-3g infrastructure for voice and data so 4g only offers better data connections depending on signal strength. I think a lot of carriers are going to hold back for a while until the technology becomes proven or more so, an ISO standard is put in place.

Thanks for answer. My carrier already support VoLTE technology and we also have around 95% coverage of LTE infrastructure and I know both must have VoLTE support and LTE connection.
What I am trying to is use this technology if I am able to. My carrier told me it's not possible because my phone is old for it but I've read few articles that it's possible.
What I don't know if I need some option in settings (rom implemented settings) to activate it because I don't have any inside, on the other side when I go to cellular info through *#*#4636#*#* I have info about IMS and also about VoLTE what I can switch off.
So generally is it enough to find out how to setup IMS APN in settings to run VoLTE on my device or do I need also ROM which have implemented in settings VoLTE on/off?
Maybe I just don't get it correctly but I would like to have precise info what I need to get from my carrier to set up IMS APN on my device to run VoLTE if it's possible of course.
Hope it is understandable.
So no need to any special futures implemented in Android. It's enough to set up APN for IMS and LTE bearer.
The only device that needs adjusting for volte is the dev edition, i believe.
Otherwise this device is completely volte compatible. Maybe your carrier representative is confused..
Beamed in by telepathy.
So I finally talked with someone who knows more technical info from my carrier but he told me that it's all about radio bearers, channels of phone (don't know precise terminology) and my phone has to be unlocked for that channel, so it's kind of firmware problem because in our country isn't firmware unlocked for that channels yet. And nobody knows if it will be. Also each carrier has different channel for that and that's why it's incompatible with the same phone from another carrier.
I've seen also some utility to change that radio settings over PC with debugging mode on but don't know more info about it. So I guess I can try this for a last option.
If your phone is locked to carrier and branded then there is a possibility they've switched volte off but if your firmware region is 401 then your carrier rep is talking s**t as all 401 wwe (unbranded) phones are volte ready and it is the carrier who is lacking the technology.

Thank you, I don't have for now rooted M9, because I bough it recently and until now I tried to find out all option if it's possible in some way but I'll do it and try it later. Thank you very much for your help!
So I've tried and it doesn't work, no VoLTE , no Wi-Fi calling, so I am not sure what could be wrong. I can see setup in system and it's enabled but none of this works. Is there any log or anything what I can explore why it's not working? My carrier has a app for Wi-Fi calling so I wouldn't need it as a part of system but there could be setup which I need also for VoLTE if I get it right. Or is there any other flashable file for trying?

VoLte And Video Call in Verizon M9
Hi Guys,
i have tried t-mobile rom for volte it worked great. also i notices that if i am changing firmware , volte is not working , as the volte options are still showned, when i get back to t-mobile firmware its worked. so i also searched that t-mobile rom has integrated IR92 lte support for volte, RCS integration and many things. Were i found that Verizon version has Integrated IR94 lte support for voice and video call over lte.
So Can any one help me further for this.

I have an AT&T running latest firmware unlocked rooted s-off the whole nine yards and my VoLTE will not work I can go into *#*#4636#*#* and turn on the provisions for it but when I exit it turns back off I guess I'm going to have to go back stock cause this sux I bet I've missed 15 calls today!
Hello.
AT&T has disabled all the international GSM\LTE bands on Z999, making it unusable outside of USA (at least in countries with GSM 900\1800, UMTS 2100 & LTE B3 & B20, like the one I live in). In order to change that, we need to turn on the Qualcomm USB Diag port, and for this, the phone has to be rooted.
I've been trying to root my AT&T Z999 for some time now, without any success, unfortunately. However, searching forums after forums, sites after sites, I've discovered the surprisingly easy method of turning on the Diag port without root.
It appears, that Axon M shares a lot with Axon 7, at least the secret key combination to enter Factory Test Mode:
Turn off the phone
Press and hold Power + Vol DOWN buttons until you see the screen "FTM" (see attached screenshot)
You have to press both buttons for the long time, do not release them when the phone starts - just wait until you see the screen. And that's it - you are now in Factory Test Mode and PC sees your phone as "ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface (COMxx)"
Now, in order to change the bands, you have to follow these guides one after one:
Backup IMEI and NVRAM (ignore all the steps to turn Diag port on, you've done that already)
Unlock LTE bands
Mod edit: Link removed! (this guide in in Russian, but all screenshots are in English & every step is pretty clear)
You would need this tool also.
Please remember, these things are complex, and require considerable experience with Android & Windows. DO NOT START unless you feel confident that you know, what you're doing. I'm serious. Do not try this, if you're not experienced.
WBR,
Draco.
Why mods deleted the link? Google translate exists.
Edit:
I've managed to get the data from the phone using QXDM.
lte_bc_config contained the value of "2251800618993690" now I'm parsing the info how to edit this. Seems like the tutorials don't really match this device. Now I wonder if the chipset can handle invalid data and just input all 1's. Unsupported frequencies just won't work.
Edit2: Writing all 1's didn't work.
Edit3: I wrote this value: "2251802901219551" Calculated with CDMATool. But it seems like the AT&T firmware only finds edge network. I've double checked the bands to be correct ones. So now I will switch to the chinese firmware.
Edit4: Final edit. Turns out you cannot flash chinese firmware on AT&T device. Sigh so my unit is stuck to EDGE/wifi only.

I can't "repost" the 3rd link, but I can suggest you to open the well-known (and the best) Russian web-site with the name starting with "4" (and having something like "...pda" also), and then add this to the address: /forum/index.php?showtopic=546814&st=4640#entry35702698
Well that russian site has pretty good instructions on how to do it. I tried with one program and it didn't work on AT&T ZTE. I'll try with that qualcomm app again this weekend but if I remember right the last time it had trouble writing because it had no correct service mode code \o/

Every Quallcomm device has almost the same NVram configuration rules, the difference is usually on how to enable diagnostic port, but for Z999 I have figured that out already. So, for the configuration process, every Quallcomm guide should work.
I've successfully enabled Z999 to work with 2G & Edge in my country using these guides. 3G & LTE don't work yet, but I'm sure they will eventually. I don't believe Z999 lacks the hardware ability to use LTE B3 & B20 (and other bands), it has to be something wrong with NVram parameters.
For me 2G and Edge worked out of the box in Finland. Tried to enable more but only thing that changed was power usage. Not worth it

It means success unlock 2G/EDGE, not yet with 3G and LTE? When buy the device, it can use other carrer to call and 2G.
When you finger out the way to unlock LTE, please share me.
by the way, do you have the way to enter fastboot mode? I tried the "volunm + &power button" but it just do a normal restart into android.
Fair warning to everyone trying this, make sure you actually do a backup of your IMEI. I didn't and after screwing something up my SIM is no longer detected, and my IMEI is no longer available.

Anyone has a good and working LTE mode?!
edit: "The bands on the AT&T z999 are: 2, 4, 5, 12, 29, 30, and 66. "
So, there won't be any Band 1,3,20 for us?!
Thanks!
No one has gotten LTE work on AT&T model. I wouldn't try this.

Hello guys. I've tried all configs mentioned by @ugynok and some of my own - the result is still the same, no 2G network and all options in mobile connections are disabled not clickable. Can you please advice which config worked for you to enable 2G network?
Any luck?
Hi all. Was anyone able to get a useful set of bands working in the UK for this phone?
Many thanks.

It's the mistake. I don't know how to delete it, sorry.
how to enable lte advanced aggregation on 9611 chipset ..
We know that a51 and a50s have 2CA AND M series not
My theory says that if we copy that particular file from A51 a50s then we Will definitely have Carrier aggregation.
But for that Guys we need to discuss and help each other .
I hope you all will help each other.
By the way i am AN LTE ENTHUSIAST.
Lets discuss and get 4g+ and unleash the true potential of our phones. And complete the 50 % left solution.

Hi
I've been Trying to solve same problem on Samsung M31 which has exynos 9611. Entering the service mode menù and browsing till the LTE CAT control I tried to play with " CA Enabled" and "3DL CA Enabled" and different "CATx" options with no luck.. I don't understand why the "+" never appear on the right of "4G".. the strange thing is also that the first time I entered the menù the "CAT4 " was selected but this phone supports up to CAT10 (that is selectable).
can you give any help? should I enable some other option?
Buddy the thing is that now you have enabled cat10 ... and now under etc 》common you see ca combinations there are no ca combinations. My friend has a51 he has there but 2 bands combinations. Now we have two options either play with nv memory with a 3rd party software ..i see there is file in qualcom same will be there in exynos ok so .or second option i have seen in many places that turkey rom has lte A features as this is a csc feature . What u say?

Yes. The problem is definitely da there are no CA combinations present on the UE. Is there any available guide on the Internet that explains how to add these combinations?
No guide but i had a qualcomm device i added ca in that i think that probably same should work.
Every phone has non-volatile memory (also called nv items etc) where it stores network related data ..and i guess if we get to know which file it is and copy that file from A series phone.using DFS Cdma tool which can explore efs and nv items. With diag mode using usb to pc we can copy and paste that .
It will definitely work . And we would have ca combinations shown and lte A will be shown and faster internet speeds.
The thing is we must be carefull with nv its very sensitive.

H815L, not rooted nor bootloader unlocked. Please see attached screenshots for version info. Currently using U.S. TracFone carrier and I've started getting messages that my phone will not work after Feb 2022.
My understanding is that at least some H815 variants are volte capable owing to the Snapdragon 808 chipset, and there is indeed a volte on/off flag in my service menu, however when I click it it says it's not supported. Also when I try the *#*#4636#*#* phone info it says "This application does not work on this device" so I don't even get the ability to scroll through what it says.
I've seen some threads here saying that it depends what software the phone is running that reveals the ability to enable/ disable volte. Could that be the case here, and if so how do I know which H815L software versions would give me that ability?
Many thanks for any direction someone can provide!
