Video Call

Quick question, can anybody tell me how to use video call, i been trying over and over, but it never works, please help......thanx

are you in the US? If so, no US network supports video calls.
i'm gonna assume you installed a custom rom or which has a dialer from a european rom that has the video call button. Again, its not supported in the US so sadly you cant do it

AT&T's network supports video calling. You have to add it to your monthly plan however, and it's pretty expensive: 35 cents per minute. And you have to be in a UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ area to use it.
T-Mobile's network does not support video calling.

well thanx for the speedy reply

I didn't see it ?????????

I went to the store this morning and they said if you have the newest sim which comes with the phone, then you will see it in settings.

There is no wifi calling at launch, you do need to use the new sim in order to support a new wifi calling feature later this year

I Havent got mine yet but my wife works there and supposedly you have to use the sim card that comes with the phone

Can someone who has the phone actually try to initiate a call with wifi calling?
You have to have the new sim that came with the phone. This will not work with an old sim from your previous phone.

I'm using the new sim that was in the box, and i'm not seeing how to initiate wifi calling.

I am using the new SIM. I am connected to Wifi. I don't see any Wifi calling options anywhere...

There should be a check box in the same screen wifi was initiated in.

Nope... I see only two checkboxes... Wifi (Enable/Disable) and Network notification... below that is WPS button conneciton and then the list of wireless networks.

I appreciate you looking onto it. That sucks if that option isn't or doesn't become available.

i took mines back because of this and hotspot being blocked.. grrrrr

Okay back i called t-mobile a couple of times. They thought the people were talking about sip, skype, voip calling. Not the wifi calling that t-mobile made. The one that seem to most tech savy rep said there will be a patch to add it but don't know when it will come. The amaze 4g already has it build in under wireless settings.

Not enough for me to return the phone but really need that option. Oh well....now we wait

For kicks I installed Kineto (Wifi Calling app) and tried to run it... immediately FCs. Oh well. Perhaps this feature can be "unlocked" with a custom ROM that re-adds SIP support to the device. I thought I read somewhere that it is excluded by default.

we would have to wait till samsung makes a wifi calling as the one we have now uses htc libs. Sip support is there just not wifi calling for t-mobile sip comes with all gingerbread phones.

Does Video Calling even work?

I know it's available only for the this year's generation of phones, but I'm calling someone with the Edge + plus from my regular Edge using the video calling button and nothing. I tried it on full LTE bars and full WiFi calling. Zip.

I think both parties need to have the update. I use it when calling my wife, who has a flat S6 on the OH6 update.

I got the latest update (U3DOI1) and I still can't see the video calling icon. I am using a unlocked t-mobile phone with an atnt sim. Anyone knows if you have to be on t-mobile network to see the video icon?

It's a tmobile feature only,which means you would need to have a tmobile sim.

Does the N930FD have the option to enable wifi calling

Hello, can anyone tell me if there is an option to enable wifi calling on the N930FD. If there is, it should be found in the dialer>3 dot button>settings then scroll to the bottom. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SM-N930W8 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Is this for T-Mobile? Were you able to use wifi-calling eventually?

No I was asking for Rogers in Canada. However, since there were no responses I stayed with the N930W8 Canadian model because wifi calling is a must for me due to poor reception in my area.

If it's like the S7 Edge Duos then the sim card that you want to do wifi calling from has to be in sim1. If you put it in the sim2 slot then it won't work. I don't remember why this was as I returned the S7 version in favor of the Note 7 and just getting it unlocked ASAP.

If you have the setting I should think so. Open your dialer app and go to settings, it should be the bottom setting. I know it is with mine here in the UK.

Verizon Advanced/HD Calling on Unlocked S9+

I currently have an Unlocked Galaxy S9+ directly from Samsung running on Verizon's network.
I can't seem to find a way to enable the HD Calling/Video Calling/Advanced Calling features.
Some rumors suspected if you installed the MyVerizon app it would enable the advanced calling menu, but that didn't work.
Is there any way to enable these features?
Is there a command through ADB to enable this?
Would I need root access?
EDIT: Model Number: SM-G965U1 - Snapdragon

No way to get Video and WiFi calling to work (yet), but go to Connections, then Mobile Networks and you can turn VoLTE Calls on or off, which is HD voice. It was there by default on my unlocked S9+ on Verizon. If you don't see it, you may need to add HD calling to your Verizon plan (it's free, but you have to login to the website and add it as a feature).

Ahh, I already have VoLTE enabled. Guess I will have to wait until someone finds a way to enable those other features.
Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I know that they support video calling, along with a ton of other apps, but there is a native video calling option.

They got it working on unlocked S8, using some of the APKs and CSC from the Verizon phone. See below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...to/how-to-video-wificalling-unlocked-t3615027
Or just by flashing the whole Verizon firmware on the unlocked phone (kinda defeats the purpose of getting the unlocked phone):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...axy-s8-unlocked-version-wifi-calling-t3699806
So I'm hoping it's just a matter of time, as I also need the WIFI calling to work on my unlocked phone. I think that's what is needed in order to send texts over WIFI via the Verizon Message+ app, which is what I ultimately need when in poor signal areas (sending texts over WIFI, without getting a second number with Google Voice or asking people to install secondary apps like Allo/Duo). Or I could just switch to T-mobile I guess, where all these things work with the unlocked phone without the additional hassle.

Here is to hoping we can get wifi calling and native video calling working on the unlocked s9/s9+ phones for those of us on verizon.

I have the S9+ (G965U1), and I have used the included Wi-Fi Calling app.
Look for Wi-Fi Calling.

I just got my unlocked S9 what do I need to do to get everything working on VZW I mean HD Calling, and video calling etc.? I've never owned Samsung Phones, I've always had unlocked bootloader HTC phones that I could do anything I wanted with. I don't know anything about Samsung accept "Odin". I still havn't put the sim card in cause I was thinking of returning the phone.

Thanks for the hint Dudeman456! I found WiFi Calling under system apps and went to its settings and activated its permissions. Now I can send text messages over WiFi using Verizon Message+ app (and not the included Messages app or Android Messages). I still don't have WiFi calling through the default phone app on S9. I wonder if there is a different phone app that I need for that purpose (Verizon Phone app?).

Same issue as my unlocked Note 8 I got from Sammy. You can enable video calling in the *#*#4636*#*# menu. You will not be able to activate WiFi calling though unless you flash the Verizon firmware. You also will not be able to use any Verizon features such as watching NFL games (but I think that is changing and won't be a Verizon exclusive) and premium visual voicemail. Really is a deal breaker for me.

What in the world does this mean "*#*#4636*#*# menu"????

All,
This is a KNOWN issue with Verizon.
I got my S9+ on Wed 3/14 from pre-order and could not get video calling to work. Went to Verizon store on Sat 3/17 preparing to wage war with them. The Verizon tech stopped me in my tracks and said it's already known. An email sent from corporate to all verizon stores indicating the problem with video calling. It is an issue with Samsung software which they are "diligently" working to correct and will push an update soon.
Notice this.. go to either MyVerizon app or the website and login. then go to devices/manage devices...then go controls then to adjust service blocks and you will see the video calling is blocked and cannot be unblocked. Apparently this is done for "our own good" until Samsung fixes the issue.
No date from the tech on when a fix will be issued.
DONT try anything crazy to enable video calling..just be patient and wait for the fix. My S9+ is unlocked too and i was assured that video calling will be enabled once a fix is issued.

That is odd. I am using my G965U1 on Sprint and my Wi-Fi Calling app is in the regular app drawer with everything else. I did not expect it to work, since it is Sprint, but it did. The Wi-Fi Calling app was available before placing a sim card inside.

I don't think it will unblock. If you didn't buy the VZW branded phone you most likely won't get video calling. I assumed this from the start. I spent a good portion of the day speaking with a VZW 2nd level support engineer supervisor with 20 years experience. He asked is there anything else that could be done besides unblocking video calls to make me happy, because that at this time it is impossible as the phone is not a VZW phone. Look in you phone profile on their website, does a picture of your phone show up? My profile is blank, that means the phone is not in their system of phones, even though I flashed the full VZW package with bloatware and all after first a full reset. My Phone has VZW splash screen and all the advanced calling menus, in about phone it says SM-G960U, but that block cant be removed. Maybe I screwed up somewhere and alerted them by booting with a sim card in? Maybe they flagged my IMEI? I don't know but the rep said point blank they can't unblock video calling on that line, and unlocked phones are not supported.

Are you all seeing LTE+ (carrier aggregation) on your Verizon S9 devices? I'm in Vegas and my device appears to sit on B13 (700mhz) and does not hand off anywhere else.

My S9 does not show LTE or 4G. I think there are a lot of bugs still.

Yes - unlocked on Verizon.

You need the right apps for Wi-Fi calling and some in framework. I don't own a s9 but that's what you need to do to get it to work. Along with some csc edits
