No. The TMO HTC One M8 does not have VoLTE enabled yet.
Wow HTC said it would be enabled with the lollipop update. Only flagship that doesn't have it enabled on T-Mobile

My guess is they want to sell more M9 units. So maybe a few months after the M9 is launched and the updated sense is released for the M8 VoLTE will probably be in it.. just my guess though.
It's total bs they stated on Google plus that they'd enable it with lollipop update. I've moved away from HTC as the only for thing keeping me was the front speakers. Also a problem is that the m8 does not play well with t mobiles network and doesn't have 1900 LTE. I've spoken to HTC and they said that it was an advertisement mistake in the spec list that it only has hspa 1900 MHz. So t mobile called and spoke to same person as me who was HTC tier 3 support. Tmobile offered us free new phones and to take the m8s back but my children said they'd just keep their m8s. I said to my children they should accept the offer but of course they wouldn't listen. My n6 stays on LTE while there m8s rarely have it. The m8 is suppose to be capable of T-Mobile 700 MHz but that's going to be so sparse. The next day after myself going through all the steps with t mobile and then HTC after Tmobile calling HTC to verify what I was telling them T-Mobile immediately posted a bulletin telling subscribers to make sure that phones are capable of working properly with the area they live. And that its not corporate store employees that need to know what works correctly with their network in order to cover their @$$. My own thoughts are the m9 will not sell as well as the m8 because the phones look so much alike. We'll see. I've always used HTC phones and made the move away because of this mistake of what MHz the phone was compatible with. The children are happy. So be it. The n6 just works well as it supports any band for connectivity and the development is great. The battery life hasn't been bad as reports have stated for me. I've gotten 6 to 8 hours screen on just as with the m8 so long as I'm on WiFi. Average is 5 to 6.5 on network etc with brightness on auto with n6. And I can actually take pictures and print them which will be one huge improvement with the m9 so hats off to HTC for the new camera module.

That's right, confirmed yesterday with a release date of November 13th, the Google Nexus 4 will be a 4.75" Quad Core Snapdragon S4 device marketed by LG.
I know I and many in the HTC Community were looking forward to the supposed HTC Branded Google Nexus 5 (ie HTC Incredible DLX).
The LG branded Google Nexus 4 will not feature 4G LTE capabilities and looks like it won't feature 4G at all. It will offer Android 4.2, 2GB RAM, wireless charging and other features. More can be found here

They are not supporting 4G because of the updates and making the firmware for all that Verizon crap and cdma bullsh*t
So they just wanna do it to provide fast updates and easy as its unlocked

Pretty sure the LGNexus 4 also only comes in 8gb and 16 gb models... with no sd card. That right there did kind of turn me off of it. One reason I'm not a big Apple fan...
Here's the Google Play store page for it Nexus 4
I was looking forward to the Nexus 4. I was so sad when I found out there was no 4G and it would not be on Verizon. Haven't had a Nexus device yet. Guess now I'm for HTC DNA or whatever they decide to call it...
The simple fact is is that Verizon does not support timely updates or unlocked devices. Its also common knowledge that LTE is a huge battery hog. My brother has T-Mobile HSPA+ 42 and has no problems streaming Netflix, which is what most people complain about. Besides, LTE is only available in 8 countries worldwide and even in those countries its only available in certain areas.
Can someone please fix the ****ing thread title?

Is it capable of Tmobile VOLTE? If so is it a hardware thing and can work regardless of rom (in my case 4.4.3 gpe)? Or must I use sense?

T-Mobile just released VoLTE in San Francisco. You have to wait until they release it in your area.

HTC One M8 does support it and it works great for me on T-Mobile's network. If you are using the stock rom, there will be a little "HD" icon at the bottom right of the contact image when you make a call on VOLTE. It's also only supported with other phones that can do VOLTE, so keep that in mind.
Is it ROM dependant? Do i need to be on stock sense?

I think you are describing "HD Voice" (where both ends of a call use a different codec that sounds better).
VoLTE is where the phone uses the LTE data connection for a phone call (like WiFi calling, but different).
As far as I know, VoLTE is not currently available on the M8. It is not known if a firmware update from HTC can bring VoLTE to the M8, but I sure hope they can.

Note3 supports it which I am not sure if all snap800 SOC's support it. I would venture to say that 801 and beyond will for sure though. But OTOH, knowing carriers and their greed they might advertise some other phone as the first to support it and not enable on a phone capable of supporting it.

Does anyone know if flashing super cid then flashing att firmware will enable band 2 for us m8 users in Cincinnati? Band 2 is enabled on the att variant m8. If not us T-Mobile users in Cincinnati are screwed. Thanks to anyone who may reply and possibly help.

I don't think that would work, as the hardware isn't there. However, I don't know why you think that we are screwed. T-Mobile isn't going to deploy LTE on a band that their phones don't support.

Easy tiger. I actually live in Cincinnati and did some reading up on it, and it does seem they are using a mix of band 2 and 4, and for whatever reason t-mobile decided not to have that band in their version of the One. Poor choice on their part, and a shame for us that have one. That said, I still don't think it's as simple as enabling it in software (though I wish it were).

I've gotten most of my information from howardforums, but the consensus there seemed to be that a lot of the city was, but that some of the outlying areas used band 4 as well. I live in NKY and go over to Eastgate regularly, and I would love some LTE, but I may just have to wait for the m9 for it to happen. That said, I don't know that LTE is even rolled out very wide so far, but I'm not sure.
Yes, this is an issue
Yes, this is an issue for those of us with a T-Mobile branded One M8. I have recently witnessed my M8 on Edge signals in Charlottesville, VA (where band 2 LTE is being rolled out) while my wife's OG Moto G LTE gets band 2 LTE. I'm trying to do the research to figure out hardware configurations of the phone, etc. There is a thread here with an M8 radio collection, but nobody seems to have posted yet that they have successfully enabled LTE band 2 on a T-Mobile or GPE One M8.

It will work only when you're on 4g. 3g and below on a CDMA network does not allow simultaneous connection with phone and data.
On the up side verizon has the largest and most reliable 4g network.

I don't understand why they didnt follow the HTC Thunderbolts technology and include that option of being on a call and using the internet on 3g/1x... all that. I loved it!!

That's called SVDO, and a few phones from Verizon have included it (with the Thunderbolt and the Galaxy S3 being the major two). It requires special hardware in order to work, and with LTE being so readily available now, it's not something that manufacturers or Verizon consider to be a needed addition. In fact, even with the phones that supported it, Verizon never advertised that feature. They could never guarantee that it would work consistently, so they pretty much ignored it.

HTC Thunderbolts had two communication chips built-in. One for LTE and another one for 3G/1x, and it was one of the many reasons it had horrible battery life.

It is completely a carrier thing. T-mobile has had it for a while and many places in EU have had it for years. ATT only kept it for the Iphone as a selling gimmic. Once the code for it is released then every device will have it. Im sure it is a great thing for those that will use it. I have a buddy in the middle of Alabama that is chomping at the bit for it as he is stuck using the microcell which we all know is crap lol
It shouldnt be too long.
I just got off the phone with AT&T and they only support WIFI Calling on devices that are available from their own store. so they told me he has "instructions" on setting up the iPhone and LG G4/G5 nothing on the HTC.
HTC 10 Wi-Fi calling Verizon
So I'm in Vermont and get 1x coverage and typically 1 bar. I have been using Wi-Fi calling and set it to prefer Wi-Fi over cellular but drop calls consistently. 2 to 3 times in a 10 minute conversation. Sometimes I will have to dial out 5 times before it continues call in Wi-Fi. I also have an everpresent dialog box that says voice roaming on. I can only toggle data roaming on or off. I'm going crazy. And the worse part is my wife's iPhone 6s performs flawlessly on Wi-Fi calling, but she has ATT. I wish I kept my M8.
Someone, anyone, please help.
