How to enable VoLTE on your T-Mobile LG G3 - T-Mobile LG G3

T-Mobile has updated the G3 recently but unfortunately they didn't bring yet the official capabilities of enabling VoLTE so after playing around I figured it out and I would be more than happy to share it with you!
#1 Go to the dialer
#2 Dial 3845#*851#
This will take you to the hidden menu
#3 scroll down to the LTE Only option and click on it
#4 click on Modem settings and click on it
#5 click on the 1 before the last option called VoLTE Radio NV on/off click on it
#6 hit the first option that says VoLTE Radio NV On
#7 restart your phone and enjoy VoLTE before the official time!
P.s. A T-Mobile Store rep has confirmed to me that VoLTE will indeed come to the G3 in a future update very soon!

This has already been posted everywhere and does not work. I live in Dallas, one of the first cities to get VoLTE and I even tried again after the recent update for the hell of it and no bueno.

Ya it doesn't work. Tried it several times. It's still locked up.

How would you know if the Volte is working?

Make a phone call and watch your data indicator. If it drops from 4G LTE to 4G, then VoLTE is disabled. If it stays on 4G LTE, VoLTE is working.
And yeah, this method does nothing. On my Note 3, there's a setting in the dialer options to use or not use VoLTE, our dialer doesn't have that yet.

Enable bands

My friends has a g920p and wants to enable some bands so lte from telcel can work now he has only H+. Can that be done. I know that the s3 can with some magic. Thanks

Just put the phone on automatic in mobile network settings and set up two apns one for hspa and another for lte but make sure the lte apn has the bearer option set to lte the other just leave it how it is.
Didnt get it my friend.... here in mexico we use same apn for 3G or 4G LTE. We just need a sim v6.x and will get the lte bands.

I know how to do this, but you would need to have the MSL number, if you don't then Google idoneapps, this guy sells an app that unlocks phone and extract that number.
So i need the msl number so how can i get it. Friends phone is already unlock.
Enviado desde mi SM-G920F mediante Tapatalk
MSL number is needed to edit data settings in sprint hidden menu. Install shortcut lite master and then search for PST, launch that application. Then look for ##Data#menu. You'll see there if your LTE is enabled or not. If it is not the only way to enable it is having MSL number.
Hidden Menu
there is no need for app for shortcut. Go to setting and go to Activate this device. Phone will load some info then look at top right for MORE. Click on it then click on PST. This will take to hidden menu,
To get LTE working all you have to do is create two separate APN's one with your regular APN settings and another that is identical APN settings but on the "Bearer" setting put it on LTE and you're good to go also make sure your phone is set to automatic and not gsm / umts

Also the phone will automatically switch to the apn that's needed. No need to keep switching apns

what you stated here is correct. but have you tried it yourself?
I did, but there issue with send text messages. incoming sms works, outgoing - no.
there is no need to set to automatic. in service menu there is point where you can set preferred network type LTE_GSM_UMTS., but again, sms does not work.

No clue maybe do ##72786# it will reset the phones modem settings and it will nag about activation again and relock the phone but I did it since I can unlock it myself again and never had an issue.
Weird thing is that my phone after unlock it wanted activation popup and then it actually went through and it went away with my T-Mobile sim.

Ok found something out for some reason if you do not get LTE after setting it to Automatic switch to LTE/CDMA let it reboot and Reswitch it to Automatic reboot again then LTE+GSM_WCDMA should work.
Do you mean in service mode select cdma/lte then reboot and then go back to service mode n select gsm/wcdma/lte? Because ive been trying that fkr hkurs since reading your post lol. If this works your a beast . We need a gsm rom for this phone tho

George, do you have a legit way to get lte working on our device ? I haven't seen any proof from anyone claiming lte working on att or tmobile.

hmmm, been in the same boat with T-Mobile and a G920P, with only 3G being picked up but after switching it to automatic, it picked up LTE! Thanks for the poiter. However, have you been able to get MMS enabled or working as I seem to have issues with that and not sure why it isn't downloading the messages. Not sure if I need to give T-Mo a call and get something enabled or what. BTW, how did you manage to make that annoying activation screen go away as the moment I got it unlocked and popped in my sim card, it can't ever activate, but works fine though
any one succeeded in unlocking bands
Has anyone had any success enabling additional bands on a Sprint S6? Basically the bands it comes unlocked with are useless for Europe 4g and would love to unlock bands 3, 7, 20, 28, however 3 & 7 would be enough.

Same here. seems to me Samsung does not give us open source to edit Exynos settings. As I'm aware, our phones' hardware is capable to get those bands

Disable the dam Volte Notification?

I keep getting this dam "Your device is VOLTE Capable" it pops up like every 10-20 minutes. It is very annoying. I have tried to disable it, but nothing works just keeps popping up. How the heck do you disable this notification?? I have already enabled that feature so I'm not sure why I keep getting the notification. I even tried disabling the service but it is greyed out.
I agree! 1+ Enable it!
if you dont have it enabled it wont come on. for me i have no use for it. only thing it bugs me is when im on a call im going to 3g . while its turn on it stays on lte
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app
There has to be a way to turn off the notification. I've got to figure it out. It's really annoying you can't at the moment. I also posted in the official Oneplus 3 forums too, so far no reply...
There is a way to turn it off. Go to settings>cellular networks>sim you want to change. Turn off the "Enhanced 4G LTE mode"
Notification will not turn on any more.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Yes I know that. With it on it shouldn't tell you or bug you every 10 minutes to tell you, hey volte is working. Every other phone that is volte does not have a notification telling you every 10 minutes that it is working.
Sorry, my bad. I misread the question. I thought you wanted it off all together
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Did you find a solution for this issue? Is very annoying
I've just been swiping it away. No clue why it keeps reappearing.
That's actually a problem I wouldn't mind having. What network are you with and how did you enable VoLTE in the first place?

That just means that sim/carrier doesn't support VoLTE. I have an att sim in my other slot and it doesn't have that feature. Only my T-Mobile sim works this way. Att doesn't support VoLTE right now.

I'm with Rogers in Canada and I have VoLTE on my iPhone 6s and my s7 edge... For some reason out here they only make VoLTE available for their devices. I had an unlocked note 5 from Bell which was the same model. Changes the csc to match and VoLTE still didn't work.

They might just not have the phones correct information in their DB as a VoLTE capable device. I couldn't get LTE at all through at&t until I had them change my imei to an old phone I had laying around. I'm wondering if you guys are having similar issues. At&t rep told me the op3 imei come up as a basic data phone and not an LTE device.
Anyone else you know up there with VoLTE working?
Edit: I see you tried the swap already using the note 5.

Just swipe it off from the notification drawer man. How much calories does it burn? 5000? Why do we have to keep finding unnecessary faults?
I really love this phone but this notification is annoying. It's like a kid on a car ride asking are we there yet. Just kinda annoys you after awhile and you want it to stop!

I'm running Resurrection Remix rom and I just have to long press the notification and then there's an option to turn off the notification. Do it and it won't come back. Also I wasn't even sure that VolTe was working but I found out that if you open your dialer and choose the screen that you dial numbers on, On the top left of the page it will say "VolTe". That means it's working. Hope this was help.

how to enable Volte functionality

Hie Guys first of all i wanna thank u all for sharing ur valuable suggestions with other which cud b life saving for many.Actually i am using lg d855 32gb 4g in India it does not support volte function in indian band so is there any way to turn my g3 into volte
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem and I have searched everywhere to find a solution. I don't think you can enable it by yourself. The phone requires an update by LG to support VoLTE with Indian carriers.

This must be for JIO. I havent tried but have same device D855 32GB Not sure this will work. this is same as suggested for Tmobile too. Site says it has VoLTE RCS http://www.lg.com/in/mobile-phones/lg-G3-D855-32-GB but JIO supports LG G4 onwards. Maybe this will work.
There is a hidden menu. Am on Android 6 so dont know about 5. I see Airtel dropping to H when I call. Tried this and it stayed in 4G but call did not go through. So looks like it tried VoLTE and it did not work. Airplane mode ON and OFF got me back
Anyway try this
call
*#546368#*855# opens hidden settings
go to Modem Protocol in that list
Select VoLTE Radio NV On/Off and set it ON. Device will reboot. {This is where I lost my ability to make calls on Airtel. But data worked fine}
Tell me if it works on JIO. Also I am not sure they would give the free SIM with G3. Anyway try ur luck

Nope... its not working.... calls going blank when VoLTE Radio on from hidden menu... no solution I think for us from LG...
We can just make HD calls over LTE using Reliance's its own app called JioOnline which calls over data using LTE.
I heard the SIM is per IMEI code. Is that fine ? As again http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/fea...les-that-will-work-on-the-jio-network-1454171 says it should work.
Does it work with their apps ?
Does anyone got the solution ... ??

AT&T Unlocked Note 5 on T-Mobile

Hello is anyone using the AT&T Note 5 unlocked on T-Mobile? I'm having issues with calls on this device and wanted to know if anyone else was having problems. When I went to T-Mobile they told me they had upgraded their towers and because my phone wasn't the T-Mobile variant it could no longer access the call service.
Any help is appreciated
Unable to receive calls whatsoever.
Spoke to Tmo and they said they've done some upgrades on the network and they're seeing this issue a lot more now with non-tmobile phones.
I'm now looking around to see if there are any radio/kernel/rom flashes that can help solve the issue.

Hey thanks for the videos, but I have no idea what they're actually changing in the 2nd one and I dont have the app/shortcut used in the first video.
yo need an app called shortcut master lite
I have idea which code you added to the app. Is it possible for you enable touch pointer in Developer settings to show where you're actually touching the screen? You move too fast to follow in the video.
And which ones you added? Or did you follow any guide online?

Got same issue.. U guys found any work-around??
Yup I got the same issue in NYC area too, TMO is not helping at all
Yes *2263# and unlock all your bands. TMO likes to use dedicated bands for RX and TX
For me setting the bands to automatic was the issue, if I set it to GSM and LTE it works fine. *#2263# > [1] Band Selection > [7] LTE/GSM Auto [*]
It works thank you!

Thank you so much. It works! Spent weeks working with TMO support and their solution was to ask me to buy a new TMO phone.
By any chance, are you guys allowed to dial 911?
Yes
I'm also thinking of buying an AT&T Note 5 (they're easier to find than the T-mobile one).
Are you able to get Band 12?
What about Volte? I saw somewhere (I think it was some T-mobile support page but don't know if current) that without Volte you can't have Data and phone call at the same time.
Any advantage to the AT&T version over the T-mobile?
Thanks

Network changes to H+ when in call

Hi,
As anyone noticed that their network changes to H+ from 4G/LTE when in call ?
I'm in Canada with Videotron, and I have 4G/LTE displayed all the time on my data connection, however when in Call it's always showing H+.
All is working for now, but I'm wondering if this could interfere with VoLTE when it finally gets activated on my network.
Thanks.
I noticed this on T-Mobile in the US. I didn't have voLTE enabled at the time because it wasn't enable by default out of the box. With voLTE enabled it stays on LTE
Volte disabled out of the box, enable volte, and it wont switch to hsdpa during calls.

I figured as much, wifi calling as well ...
Yeah, all you AT&T users tweet, call, email etc anyone and everyone in AT&T including support and complain long and loud about AT&T's painful no VoLTE and VoWiFi policy on none at&t branded phones. its crazy.. better yet, just screw em and go to TMO...
A short work around for is to use a 3rd party app such as TExtNow the only downside you wont be using your Number.
