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.
Honor 6X supports only dual card dual standby single pass, which means you cannot use both SIM cards for calls or data services simultaneously.
When you are on a call using SIM card 1, SIM card 2 cannot be used to make or answer calls. If someone calls SIM card 2, the caller will hear a voice message
similar to "The subscriber you dialed is out of the service area" or simlar to that depending on your service provider.
Similarly when you are using SIM card 1's data service, SIM card 2's data service will be disabled.
Why Single Pass ?
Honor 6X single pass feature helps reduce power consumption and increase the phone's standby time.

As you have mentioned JIO, I would like to confirm once whether you are using JIO voice app for outgoing call (LTE voice Call) ?
Bcos, while we are having outgoing call from JIO voice app, If we get any incoming call in 2nd SIM, the JIO data is disconnected which disconnects the call through it.
If we reject the call in that other SIM, then JIO network gets connected and JIO calls gets re-connected (If the intermediate time is less)

The same happens with my Honor 5X too. That's why confirmed.
Also, I need to know one thing. VoLTE is different for different networks or regions?

should be regions as bands are mostly the same in one region across different network.

Seems that the chinese variant supports B3 and B40 LTE. So now LTE is getting connected in JIO. But VoLTE doesn't work?

VOLTE work with Jio app only and not regular dialer...seems because its Chinese version and not compatible. heard that Letv also has same issue but was resolved with software update. once we have Indian version binaries out, we will try to upgrade and see.

So to have VoLTE, we need to purchase the device in the respective region. Right ?

Excatly, they could have included it with a snapdragon or else a better gpu
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.

....if they had the coverage of AT&T, I would.
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.
Question about the impending doom of custom roms. I'm with T-Mobile and don't want to switch. So are texts included in this as well, or are only voice calls affected?

You are talking about this:
All U.S. V30/V3O+/V30S will need stock firmware, not LOS-based custom ROMs. When?
The first post is the most relevant. By page 3 the discussion had digressed into other areas.
At first, I thought only voice calls should be affected. (But... don't you need voice calls? Or do you have something like Google Voice? I have Google Voice but in the U.S. I still piggyback on my carrier's assigned phone number.)
(backstory, skip over this if you already know it)
4G LTE started out as "data only". Initially carriers had you temporarily dropping down to 3G (HSPA or CDMA) for voice calls until VoLTE (Voice Over LTE) was perfected.
But for V30 LOS custom ROMs -- which don't have VoLTE -- users still needed this temporary 3G access during phone calls. After the phone call is over, then you jump back to LTE (data only).
Now that 5G is being rolled out, U.S. carriers are killing off 3G to use those resources for 5G. AT&T is keeping 3G HSPA until February 2021, but initially it was reported Verizon and T-Mobile (Sprint) -- and their MVNOs -- are ending 3G in the next couple months. Verizon by January 1, 2020 and T-mobile allegedly in "January 2020" but they have set a specific day of the month that I've seen.
HOWEVER. HOWEVER...
T-Mobile may not be abruptly ending 3G HSPA in January 2021.
Instead T-Mobile says if your phone is not VoLTE capable by sometime in January 2021 it will be shut out of their network. This is not saying they are shutting down 3G HSPA in January 2021 -- just forcing all phones on T-mobile network to be VoLTE capable for WHEN they do shut down.
Hmmmm...
This potentially means you could still use custom ROMs a while longer if you somehow pass their VoLTE capable test? Because 3G HSPA may still be available for a while longer.
On the other hand if you do NOT pass their test, you can't use their network for texting either!
_____________
(Go to article below to see complete instructions and screenshots.)
How to find out if your T-Mobile phone has VoLTE support
T-Mobile will shut out all incompatible devices next year (2021).
Check the Settings app
If your phone is already activated on T-Mobile, you can check in your phone's settings if VoLTE is being used. Open the Settings app on your phone and go to the 'About phone' menu, then tap on 'SIM Status'. If you can't find it, try pressing the search button in the app and typing SIM.
Once you find the SIM Status option, tap it, and a popup should appear. If the voice network type is listed as LTE, you're good to go.
If your Settings app doesn't have that menu for whatever reason, try dialing *#*#4636#*#* in your Phone app. This will take you to a hidden diagnostics menu. Select 'Phone information,' then check if LTE is listed under Voice Network Type.
Ok, I had read some of this before, but not all. My phone passes those VoLTE capable tests. So does that mean that my phone is capable, but still not using VoLTE because it's on a custom rom? But that since it's capable, I'll still be able to use 3g network until 2021? And that once I lose voice, I lose texting as well?
If your carrier completely switches to 4G network then you can't use even text messages without Volte
Though using Google messages with RCS may allow you to get and send text messages with internet connectivity.

My best guess, but I'm not T-Mobile:
If your phone passes those tests then it probably won't be locked out of the T-Mobile network in January 2021. If so, then you will still be able to use LOS custom ROM for voice calls, for as long as T-Mobile keeps 3G towers running.
When they do shut off 3G -- may happen gradually, not all at once -- you will not be able to make phone calls on custom ROM without VoLTE, but should still be able to text.
Texts are data, and data-only LTE signal should still allow texting.
