I have Just updated my phone to marshmallow hoping to get wi-fi calling but it still asks to activate advanced calling.
Is there any chance that i can bypass this to get wi-fi calling?
Also in case if i ask my friend to activate it using his SIM and later insert my T mobile sim will i still be able to use it?
Thanks in advance

Some people here have had to get Verizon to set HD calling up for them, especially if they've had it turned off. T-Mobile may be the same way.
If I recall, Verizon users were able to turn the feature on online.

Then I'm afraid you're stuck. It looks like HD calling is a prerequisite for wifi calling. Both, while sharing the same technical standards, are run by the carriers.

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.

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.
We have a Galaxy Note 2 from ATT now. Just upgraded, so we're not using it. We want to take it to Europe to use as a phone and a hotspot for our computers on our trip. I've read that people do that with unlocked Androids and a European SIM.
I was able to unlock the phone with no problem using a data only T-Mobile SIM card in the process. The problem is that I can't turn the Mobile Hot Spot on. I've tried with the valid data only T-mobild SIM installed. When I try to turn the hotspot on, it says that either the network is not available, or there's an invalid SIM. I'm worried that it's the ATT restrictions on the phone that aren't going away even if the phone is unlocked, and there's a different SIM in place.
Does anyone know what we have to do to enable the hotspot, so that this phone can be used in Europe?
Thanks.

The thing that sticks out to me is that you actually need the correct Sim card that is provisioned for phone service.. I'm assuming this "data only sim" was provisioned for a tablet and therefore can't make any calls... the network unavailable message will show up even with no Sim installed and trying to enable a hotspot. You need a valid cell service in order to hotspot.
Hope Getting the Right SIM will do it.

Thanks. I hope that's what the problem is. It would make things simpler to be sure. I just didn't want to get there and then find out it wasn't going to work. In the meantime, I found my old Galaxy S 3. I managed to unlock it, root it, and install basic ROM. Thought maybe that would work, as well. I'll know by next week.
When on 4G or 3G when in voice calls I cant use or get data and get a message that pops up saying I need to use WIFI for data while on calls. Please tell me there is a work around.

Not really sure why this is but I have a suspicion. M8 was supposedly VoLTE compliant, but the settings lacks the "Advanced Calling" section that the M9 ROM has (carriers mess with this all the time; for instance, I was looking at an AT&T M9 yesterday and for the life of me could not find the "power" settings section).
I also have a business account and had to have an agent turn on advanced calling to get the M9 to work this way.
I suspect that Verizon wants to have the option to *charge* for the "feature." That's the only reason I can think they'd break it out separately.
Verizon has no reason to charge for HD calling. While the voice portion is unlimited for most accounts, if you use the video calling it is not. It counts towards the data allowance unless it's used over WiFi. Verizon wind with increased data plans or overage charges.
I personally love the feature, I mostly talk with my LG Tones, and the HD calling is amazingly loud and crystal clear. Good stuff. As has been noted, if you lose LTE/WiFi during an HD call, it will drop. That goes for either side, as both parties have to be capable for it to work at all anyway.

Under the tech bulletin here at work, it states the M9 has a single radio unlike the M8 which has a dual radio which allowed for simultaneously calls and data on 3g or 4g (SVDO).
SU1 releasing in June 2015 will fix this and show 1x during a phone call and not the 4g lte symbol as it currently shows on the M9.
So without advanced calling you cannot do this. This is a bummer as I loved this feature.
Disadvantages of advanced calling is if you lose your 4g while going into a building your call drops. unlike traditional calling is handled on the 1x network.
Does T-Mobile wifi calling work?

No. That is a carrier feature. You have to buy your phone from t-mobile if you need that.

The true findings have not been reported yet. CM13 has "unlocked" through what they call trickery, but has not been reported to work on all devices. This topic comes up at every unlocked phone thread I have seen. It most likely will work on devices that either were purchased at T-Mobile or that have radios with the ability to place Wi-Fi calls (any phone compatible with project-fi). There are reports of the nexus 5 on cm13 not being able to use this, but the 5x (with it's Wi-Fi calling ability) to use it. The HTC 10 has the ability to make Wi-Fi calls natively (the radio supports it) on android N, so using it on t-mobiles WiFi calling makes sense. But, until there is confirmation that the oneplus 3 has this ability, then I'm going to say it probably won't work. I could very well be wrong, but I can't find anything proving it works on all devices right now.

Yeah no wifi calling and no ok google from a locked screen...I'll hold off and see if they update these, if not, probably move to the next nexus.
I just received my op3... No wifi calling option with T-Mobile. I hope they add it. My 6p came from project Fi and does work with wifi calling on T-Mobile.

If they ever get it working let me know. I'll also hold of until Wi-Fi calling works.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
seems wifi calling is still in the settings menu, but it disabled as soon as you toggle it and leave. CM13 on the nexus 6p has working wifi calling, so the device itself doesn't have to come from t-mobile to work. Still hoping this is not radio firmware related. Waiting for a decent CM13 port to see if there's a chance there. If anyone has flashed one of the two cm13 ports on their op3, is the wifi calling option visible in the settings menu?
It is equipped, but 1+ has to pay T-Mobile to test it and approve for use. 1+ says they won't. Maybe we can remind them we want it.

It depends. I wouldn't pay for Wi-Fi calling and I'll be damned if I'm going to be forced to pay it through some price increase just to appease a minority. There are other ways to achieve Wi-Fi calling that doesn't involve carrier support like WhatsApp
How do you call a landline on whatsapp. How do you receive calls to your phone number on whatsapp. There really aren't many full VoIP wifi calling solutions available, and none of them are even as close in integration or as seamless as the native implementation. Cant speak for most carriers, but it's free on T-Mobile. I can relate to not wanting to pay for features you don't have use of, but the same could be said for volte calling or LTE in general.

And also it does support Ok Google from lock screen. Just Google it how to make it work...

If you are on the stock OOS 3.2.4 it's there.
Go to settings, in the search bar type "pre".

WiFi calling should come

I don't use it but the option is also in exodus Rom, and probably in many roms as it's in Android sources.

"Just Google it." Ahahaha, your suggestion could not be any less helpful.
Just wondering if anyone is using WiFi calling. I just switched back my sim to a voice line and wanted to get it working. But not sure if the tablet supports it as I don't see the option.
I disabled a bunch of packages, so just wondering if I accidentally disabled it, or it's just not possible.
Thanks!

No idea as I don't have the version with the SIM card. Usually your carrier has to tell you how to set up WiFi calling. On Project Fi it is automatically routed from the phone app through the Hangouts dialer . Otherwise you'd have to resort to Skype or WhatsApp or something similar.

I would contact your carrier. WiFi calling is something they have to enable which is why you see the setting on your phone. They would know if they can support WiFi on the Tab S4. Like I said for Project Fi, which is my carrier, their WiFi calling is handled through a separate app (Hangouts Dialer) and not a System Setting regardless of the Android device used (phone, tablet, etc). Maybe your carrier has an app to install that provides WiFi calling from a Tab S4? And report back who your carrier is and what they say so others can find the info.
