N7100 almost here, and I see that the native dialer has a video dialer function that allows you to make video calls over your cellular network. I am in the US on AT&T, and was wondering if anyone with International Samsung phones have attempted to make a video call over AT&T using the native dialer, or if AT&T still blocks this global function?
This would be between 2 N7100's in the US over AT&T or a N7100 and an International SGIII. I am not talking about the AT&T flavor, only International Unlocked Sammy's.
I have searched but there is little info on this, and the ones who say it work never tell what country they are in or the carrier they are using it on.
Re: [Q] Does the video calling feature in the native dialer work in the US over AT&T
Video calling on native dialer definitely works in India in almost all the networks. I am using a national service provider called bsnl and it's dirt cheap. They charge me around 4 cents per minute. However video calling doesn't work all the time even if I'm on 3g network if the 2nd party doesn't get 3g signal properly.

I currently have the P601, all stock not rooted and using and AT&T SIM. Just wondering how to get the video calling feature to work. Every time I try it says unable to place video call. Tried over wifi and over network with no luck. Any tips/suggestions? Thanks

It's a carrier dependant feature. AT&T stopped supporting it years ago. No U.S. carrier supports their own 3/4G video calling service any longer.

Hmm dont know then. Try disabling it and enabling it in settings
Works fine on mine, just tested it out.

Mine isn't working either and I'm in a live VOLTE market and it's worked on other devices.
Mine works fine
Mine works some days and doesn't work some days. It's annoying.
Is it possible the other person does not have volte? I remember only able to use that when i was calling other T-Mobile users.

Correct! In order for volte to work BOTH phones must be enabled, and in a volte market.
Ditto. Read some papers on how VoLTE works and called up T-Mo to confirm, they said because of how the connections between the phones are established, both phones must have LTE and live in a VoLTE market. VoLTE actually uses a higher quality coded than HSPA+ if I recall so the other person has to have the ability to receive and decode properly.
Before i did factory reset,i could not get volte, but now i have volte( they show hd in contacts) after factory resetting the phone. Two things i hate about this phone are battery life and chrome browser lagging. And now i just found out a new issue is touch screen sensitivity. It is less responsive than my old galaxy s4.
Has this been recently changed? I had an Xperia z3 and any time i was on lte, my calls were routed volte. I'm 100% positive this is the case, my mother has an M8 without volte, my Xperia still used volte when calling her.

It's not new. Are you sure you had VoLTE? The basic requirement of VoLTE requires both users to have support of this.

Positive, it was only "HD" if i called another volte device, but it was always used on my end. Dead give away was that m phone stayed connected to lte while in a call, if i turned off volte in settings it would drop down to hspa while in call. Also, there are areas around me that seem to only have edge and lte, no hspa. In these areas it would drop to edge when making a call with volte disabled, with volte enabled it stayed on lte.

HD voice is when both devices are connected to at least HSPA when you are connected to TMO's network as far as I'm aware. There are some old articles that you may find if you do a google search, since HD voice is still a rather new concept to TMO.

I know, its a little odd, when volte was not enabled it would display the hd icon whenever i called another hd voice enabled phone. However, when i had volte on, it would only display it when calling another volte device. I know my phone was always using volte though because it would stay connected to lte while in a call with it enabled.
So if you're in a Band 12-only area, and VoLTE is literally the only way for you to make a voice call, you can only call other VoLTE-enabled devices? I find that a bit hard to believe.
So I get LTE but as soon as I get on a call signal goes to H and I cant use data/apps while on the call. Am I using the wrong APN settings, or wrong radio maybe? Any settings help would be great, or if you can confirm also. Thanks.
Mine nexus 6 did same thing. I'm not sure that the data still work or not but everytime I on call I see LTE Icon change to H like you said
It's one of 2 things.
Either VoLTE is not turned on on your device
Or ATT does not support VoLTE in your area.
First one is fixable. Second one is not.

AT&T doesn't support VoLTE on any phones that aren't sold by them.

Then that would explain that I would think
LTE is data only, so when u go on a voice call it will got to hsdpa or 3g bc that is voice and data, so it is normal

Please don't spread information that's no longer the 100% truth. AT&T, Verizon, and (for a while now) T-Mobile offer calling over their LTE network, dubbed VoLTE (Voice over LTE). It allows voice packets to travel over the LTE network instead of legacy/3G and older networks.
The way the standard it set up, devices made more recently have software and hardware support for it, but as carriers have certification processes for their network, not all devices work cross-carrier. Most notably, iPhones (bleh) work cross-carrier because of the way their network configuration is provisioned (device identifies what network it's on, and downloads carrier configuration for that particular network). Some Android devices work cross-carrier (Nexus 6P and 5X), but the manufacturers of Android devices designing unlocked devices for some reason aren't certifying on AT&T, maybe because of cost or complexity.
Therefore, there are 3 main reasons VoLTE won't work on a device:
1) Not in a VoLTE area
2) VoLTE not enabled (this could encompass the option simply being disabled per the user)
3) VoLTE being restricted (AT&T restricting access because the device isn't certified, and/or the device not being capable)

So how do you enable on the OP3 with AT&T?

You can't, only thing that would remotely make it work is if your imei was set up as a HDVoice supported phone in AT&T's system (s6, s7, note 5, note 7, iphone, etc). Though that likely won't work either since it'll try to provision the VoLTE and fail and yea.
AT&T does not use "Standard" VoLTE, so even if the phone supports it (like the OP3 does) and they were to allow the IMEI, it still wouldn't work. Phones have to have specific code from AT&T to do their HDVoice (according to their own customer service postings in their forums)
Is or has anyone else been able to get VoLTE working on T-Mobile US on this model specifically? LTE and WiFi Calling work in general, but the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" toggle isn't there to allow VoLTE. The model has the same number of bands as the XT1710-01 model, but is on the RETLA channel, by the way.
Hi, actually I was having similar issues. VoLTE, seems to be different but is based on your Carrier mostly. If you call someone from a different carrier it may not be enabled. I'm with AT&T, whenever I call someone with AT&T and we are both with good 4g LTE, in the call, changes the status to HD. But, just with AT&T. At least that's how it Works for me. We should wait someone to confirm is this is how other carries behave.

Apologies for the late reply. Definitely no VoLTE or HD voice between me and other T-Mobile users. No matter what I tried it just never came up. If anyone's considering using this specific variant of the phone in the US, I'd be aware of the limits beforehand.

-06 is a North American dual sim variant, correct?
Are both SIM cards on t-mobile?
Could one use SIMS from different carriers?

-06 is a North American dual sim variant, correct. Updates should go through ATT Mex, I believe. And yes, you can use sims from other carriers. I used one sim card when I tried it and only utilized one of the sim slots as a result. T-Mo VoLTE just doesn't seem to have been certified for that variant.
So T-Mobile WIFI calling works on this variant of the Z2 Play? If so that is good to know especially when traveling overseas even if some other advanced features don't work.
I have an XT1710-06 retla device and I can confirm that wifi calling with T-mobile does *NOT* work on my device. There is a setting to enable wifi calling, but it never seems to connect and all calls still go over mobile. This is 100% testable if I for instance go into a deep basement that has wifi but no cellular signal -- I can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls or SMS, even though I have wifi calling turned on.
This is probably related to why VoLTE doesn't work either.
Also (as mentioned in another thread) still no updates for it past February 7.1.1 update. No later security updates and no Oreo updates.

Hi,
I'm super curious how did you get your Z2 Play to have VoLTE. I 've tried everything - new sim, IMEI of ATT branded phone, activated SIM on ATT phone, etc. , to no avail. I'm so frustrated and about to get another phone, because my HSPA signal is much weaker than LTE where I'm at and constantly have missed (straight to voicemail) or dropped calls. Please, let me know how did you get it to work.
Thanks
Maybe the problem is VolTE itself. As I tested. Unless both phones are with the same carrier and working good over 4G (good signal area) you can't get it working. At least in where I live that was true for a friend's phone and mine. So VolTE was good, until signal dropped hard. But impossible to work with other carriers.
Even it was good under Lineage OS and tested with Toxyc OS, but I saw the main thing is that 4G LTE should be firstly working fine. And same for anyone you call. Otherwise call will be normal. And for 4G LTE it depends on area support too.
Sorry for late reply

Same phone (XT1710-06 retla, rooted stock ROM on Oreo), and wifi calling on Tmobile also doesn't work for me. I can enable it in Settings, but I cannot send SMS or make calls over wifi with no cell service. After a while (a few hours) I get a Moto Settings notification that it can't enable Wifi calling, with a message underneath that says "Enabling." I can't dismiss the notification, only snooze it for up to 2 hours, and after I disable wifi calling it does eventually go away after a couple days.
Your problem is because none of the XT1710 variations have the 600MHz Band 71. It is the most recently added band and very few phones currently out there support it yet. As far as the HD voice issues mentioned...both people on the call have to be using a Volte supported phone and then HD automatically activates.
