Hi Guys,
was just checking under network, advance calling, there is an option of activate wifi calling
I clicked on it and after a few minutes, it says please try again later. I'm chatting with Verizon tech now. Any one got this to work, or is it just not done rolling out yet?
Edit they told me I need to reset my phone. I doubt that has anything to do with it, I just froze a few apps.
Thanks.
I don't know about yours. But on my G4 I am not allowed to have it since mine is prepaid plan. I click on it and nothing happens.
Is this on the Marshmallow update?
I am on Lollipop and I have:
Grayed out "Activate Advanced Calling" - which is disabled because I have the MyVerizon app disabled.
then
Advanced Calling
--HD Voice (enabled)
--Video Calling (enabled)

I do believe it's limited to the Marshmallow update. I didn't get long enough to test lollipop when I got my phone in the mail today before it updated to MM. But I did a TON of research before getting the phone and think I remember reading and seeing a few places on youtube that it's a MM feature only. Sadly I'm prepaid so I'm left out of the loop.
I use Google Voice to make free calls via WiFi using Google Hangouts Dialer. Doesn't depend on Verizon or G4 apps.
FYI guys you need my Verizon login enabled don't disable Verizon bloatware .
Works now !
Interesting...
I have been on the fence about switching to T-Mobile for the Wi-Fi calling and the fact that they offer a 4G capable femtocell. I just came across this on the VZW website:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/wificalling/
It would seem they are now advertising the G4. I wish the customer service reps would be trained to know this...
Has anyone found out how to get the video calling icon active on T-Mobile with the Google version of the pixel... I know if you pop a Verizon sim card in and activate HD & video calling through Verizon it pops up... I've called T-Mobile and I've been told my account is provisioned for those things already.. my VoLTE works.. and I've always had native video calling for my last 4 phones. So I'm just wondering of anyone has figured it out.
I don't have T-Mobile myself, but I found that it worked for a guy here.

Have you tried going into the hidden Phone menu and verifying if Video Calling is provisioned? You need to be running Nougat, and although I don't have a Pixel, I assume you are... Look under "phone info" and scroll down... To access the hidden menu go into Phone, select the dial pad, and enter *#*#4636#*#* and the menu will appear... Please update us on what you learn.
I was wondering the same thing myself I went into the hidden phone message with the sequence that you gave and the video calling provision is turned off I turned it on and exited and then when I went back in it automatically turned itself off again there is an option to update something but once I press update it says update error but it doesn't stay turned on the video calling provision I don't know how to set it to stay
please explain how to get the Pixel XL video calling to work on T-Mobile.
Can someone please explain how to get the Pixel XL video calling to work on T-Mobile. Please please please please
Hi. I just chatted with Sprint online asking if the pixel 2 XL that I'm going to receive at the end of this week, and activate on Sprint, will support WiFi calling. They confirmed that it will but could not provide a link to a list of phones that are supported at Sprint. Therefore I have my doubts. I think a lot of times these people who work the chat are "Yesmen", if you know what I mean?
Has anyone here activated their pixel 2 XL on Sprint? Is it wifi calling capable? Thank you.

I don't see a place to turn it on. Activated my 2XL last Wednesday morning. I've looked a few times. And I thought I read either on the Sprint Reddit or the Sprint Community that it's not supported. I can go to settings and search and type in wifi calling and it takes me to the Wi-Fi preferences page but then there's nothing listed.
Edit: See this as well. Still seems pertinent. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/6nqojq/sprint_support_wifi_calling_is_supported_for/

The Wifi calling option is available for T-Mobile. It's under wifi preferences (I find it easier to locate if I search for wifi in settings. )
Thanks for the responses, guys! henderjr, this is what I was afraid of. Thank you both for looking. I'm sort of basing my purchase of this phone on wifi calling so I'm stuck. I can't figure out how Sprint can get away with this....and no simultaneous talk/data, and survive next to the other service providers.
By chance does anyone else on Sprint have the option for wifi calling on their Pixel 2 XL??
I just chatted again and the agent is saying that wifi calling MAY be something that Sprint needs to activate on your account for it to show up. That's sounds weird to me but if you get a chance, you could call Sprint and see if they will turn it on for you. If you do, please report back, henderjr.
Certainly someone has had experience with this?
wifi calling not available
My wifi calling is activated on my account but I cannot find a place to turn it on in my Pixel 2 XL. I don't think it works on the Sprint network with this phone.

On your phone dialer type *#*#4636#*#* then when the info screen pops up, select phone info. Is wifi calling provisioning enabled??

It is not enabled. the only thing that is enabled is Mobile Radio Power
The wifi calling option is grayed out and won't let me activate it.

Then you'll probably need to call Sprint support and get your phone properly provisioned. I've seen some at&t users having to do the same.
Sprint has Wi-Fi calling? I'm on stock and it's not provisioned on my device.

Well that's interesting. I'll have to take a gander at my account.
I just called Sprint and they said they cannot do anything about wifi calling because Google won't allow it. At least with Sprint, not sure about anyone besides Verizon.

Different people use Sprint's Twitter account so this guy doesn't even know its a Pixel feature. I replied saying Verizon supports it, really hope Verizon responds

Yeah Sprint blames a device and not themselves. I think the main thing is that they'll only support WiFi calling if it's sold in-store, not an unlocked phone.

Is there any way to enable Wi-Fi calling through rooted means? It seems like all we need to do is enable some features.
Does HD voice or HD video calling on Verizon work with the Google Play Store (unlocked) version of the Pixel 2 XL? I see no settings for it at all like before in the settings, guess I just figured once I popped my Verizon sim card in that it would enable HD voice/video calling, no? Anybody else have any input on this? Do I have to get the VZW version to get HD Voice/Video calling?
EDIT: After I popped in my Verizon sim I rebooted it and let it 'settle' for 10 mins before I touched it again and now I see the "Advanced Calling" toggle in the settings (which was already on) and then I went and tested it by calling my wife and it is indeed HD now and HD logos appear on both of our phones.

Are you on the latest version? I do not see HD voice anywhere on my calls on any calls on people who used to have it. I have full LTE signal and it is activated on my plan. Rebooted countless times but I am still on the version that came out of the box.

Once you enter your Verizon sim, go to the Play Store and allow it to install all the Verizon apps. Also let it do all the app updates. Once all that is completed reboot your device. Then once you are booted back into your phone, go to the connectivity in settings, tap on mobile network, tap on Advanced, and you should see the HD calling options.

Which Verizon apps specifically? I do not see that option, I see "Network & Internet" -> "Mobile Network" -> "Advanced Calling"....
Thanks!
If you don't see it, dial this:
*#*#4636#*#*
Go to the first menu option and then activate it all, near the bottom of the page
Make damn sure you have advanced calling enabled on your Verizon account before you do this. You will not be able to make a call if you don't have it active.

Thank you all, this is what I did to make it work (for anyone else having these issues on prepaid)
I went into features in my account on the Verizon website, disabled and re-enabled HD Voice. Then, I went into *#*#4636#*#* hidden menu and tapped "TRIGGER CARRIER PROVISIONING". When into the Google Play Store and saw "Carrier Services" was disabled. I enabled it and updated it. Waited about 5 mins for provisioning to be done. Rebooted and put in a post-paid Verizon SIM on a corporate account. Removed that SIM, put in my prepaid SIM and rebooted again.
Now it works and I noticed that the Carrier Services APK is disabled again. Strange, but It's working and no need for any Verizon bloatware. I see "HD" on the middle of the screen when on a call with another HD Voice enabled phone. Which I did not see before when calling/testing the same number.
Not sure what really fixed it though, I will update the thread if it stops working. I am also aware that Advanced Calling is needed for HD Voice, technically it does more than just HD Voice. So HD Voice is a part of Advanced Calling features and not "it is HD calling".

This ^^^^^
This is actually how i got VOLTE working. Before i did this i had no data while in voice calls.. Of course this was also after not being able to edit the APN's without playing musical sim cards. What a pain..
But yes, this dialer trick should work.. As soon as i did it, i saw the hd calling features amongst a few other hidden features being enabled/available..
Im on Straight Talk Verizon so as far as the thing about the carrier side being enabled, I dont know, i would assume Straight Talk doesn't offer optional luxuries like that. .. just the ability to use data while in call.
So glad I found this. I have the Pixel XL and I was getting frustrated that HD voice was not working. Google was no help, Verizon was no help either. This should be pinned to the top! Thanks!
I am planning to buy Honor 4 Ultimate here in the USA. Can anyone please confirm if there is any possibility to get VoLTE on any carrier? Both at&t and T-Mobile not supporting VoLTE for Honor Chinese version. I have heard Google FI supports VoLTE if anyone can please confirm before I buy.

And to use Google Fi the device has to support Google Play Services which this does not.
Thanks a lot for letting me know. I just returned honor Magic 3 pro plus as it kept switching to 2G connection for calls. I really love the phone. I will go ahead and order it... Thanks
Oh that's a new thing I learnt. Got it

You're welcome, sometimes I do switch to 2G but it doesn't seem to be too long I always switch back to 4G eventually sometimes 5G and I'm stll able to complete calls on the T-Mobile network. Me it doesn't really bother me much since I make minimal phone calls.

Great. Yes so this 2G calls might completely end by December 2022 when T-Mobile shuts down 2G. However after reading countless posts and thread...someone mentioned the best way to avoid this VoLTE drama by both at&t and T-Mobile.. you can start using services like Google voice and port your number...I actually tried this and I now don't care if TMobile doesn't allow VoLTE even after December 2022... But thanks for checking everything...1 more thing if you can check... If you can enable developer mode and see if you get an option for VoNR... That is the new standard after VoLTE and if that is supported on Ultimate that should help too... In any case I am going to finally place my order tomorrow after trying Google voice since even after 2G shutdown mobile data will continue...

So I was able to run a test, I recommend downloading Aurora app store and downloading the Google Dialer app and using that as your default calling app. As when I ran test calls to VM/ someone I know I get HD on the call so VOLTE is 100 percent for sure working then.

That is genius. I got my ultimate delivered today from Hong Kong. I was able to use Truecaller and Viber are essentially VOIP apps and need mobile internet or WiFi. But your solution is genius. I managed to install Google dialer and all calls go through without any internet connection and signal doesn't drop to 2G. I also got HD. thanks for finding a great solution. Let's hope Google dialer continues to work without Google services

So I'm on AT&T and my service was working perfectly fine with them until I took the latest firmware released today. Not sure if the update messed with anything but my Google Dialer and regular Dialer both do not make calls via AT&T, my T-Mobile sim still works
Hey thanks...I sold ultimate within 2 weeks as more and more apps were breaking without Google services and using Gspace was slow and frustrating...I moved to OPPO find x5 pro global version which had VoLTE on TMobile and after android upgrade I lost VoLTE even on OPPO T-Mobile. This is truly frustrating. Looks like they won't allow any Chinese phones in USA.... Only Samsung, OnePlus and Google pixel are welcome...
