Advanced calling - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Well I searched first before asking this. I called Verizon because I have no data when on the phone. They said I had advanced calling, but removed it then added it again. Still no data while on the phone. They said I should have the option to turn it on and off under cellular networks, I do not have it. I then called google who said it should work but pushed the problem back to Verizon.
Anyone else have this problem? Verizon also said maybe it was because I bought the phone from google.

Try *#*#4636#*#* then phone information and see if VoLTE is provisioned. There is a toggle there for it. If it isn't, toggle it on then reboot and recheck settings - more - cellular networks and see if advanced calling is listed.

I had it with stock 7.1.1 but when I flashed DU rom I lost it. Even toggling it in *#*#4636#*#* doesn't enable it.

Flash a stock image and you will have it back...

Oh, you didn't say you had flashed DU, that's important info. Yup, flash stock it will return.

I tried everything here and more. Nothing worked. I factory reset the phone and now its back. I was always stock and had not loaded anything on my phone. I did and still do have it unlocked but have done nothing else. I don't understand why it was not there. I am just happy it's back after reset.

I have been on the phone with google and Verizon for hours.All I have to say is I should have come to XDADev my real home. This is why this site and the users on this site ROCK!. Thank you ahent!!!

Verizon-Intermittent Data drop

I just received this phone yesterday and dropped the sim from my 2014 X into it and it worked perfectly all day. Today, however, the data has periodically dropped until I reset the phone or toggle cellular network. Are there settings I need to modify to optimize? Any ideas welcome.
Thanks!
Preferred network type - global
Enhanced 4G LTE Mode - on
Data whie Roaming - off
System select - automatic

Sorry to derail your thread a bit... I am setting my sister up on this phone coming from a 2013 moto x. Is VOLTE working for you? If so, did you have it provisioned on your moto x 2014 prior? I just set up HD calling for her on her account but internet + call wasnt working right away. However visual voicemail wont set itself up. I may have to have her put the sim card back into the X and setup visual voicemail on line before putting the sim back into the 5X no? Hard for me to troubleshoot her phone being she isnt near me.
I personally have never used VVM, but there is a check box for "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" that is selected by default that should work as long as it is enabled through VZW on the account. It may require a reboot after turning on if I remember correctly.

Thank you. The issue is that once advanced calling/HD calling is enabled on a verizon eligible phone, regualr voicemail doesnt seem to work? Can you confirm you have Voice over LTE and what is your voicemail solution?
x'm a newbie to NEXUS. The 5X is my first one. But I am 7 year Android user...
You shouldn't need to touch the developer options but it is worth seeing if it makes a difference.
I would experiment with these settings to see if it helps stabilize things.
Settings>Developer Options
Disable "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular hand..."
Disable Always allow "Wi-Fi Roam Scans"
Enable "Cellular data always active"
Those three options, or a combination of them may help. I disabled the last one("Cellular data always active") which is the default. If I need it, I'll select it in the future.
I hope it helps.
Aaah I see, I can't really comment because I have a work account so I can't access the account to enable VoLTE. And I'm using old school "please enter your four digit code" voicemail.

i had a similar problem. after a software update was applied automatically, I lost wifi calling b/c my inserted SIM is not tmobile despite the device being unlocked. So, I inserted a tmobile sim and used ODIN to flash the latest stock firmware, and then i got wifi calling back. I'd test it first with a Tmobile sim (i bought one off ebay) and then restart the device. If that doesn't fix it, you may have to reflash stock firmware like I did.

I have a T-Mobile SIM installed right now, I've shut it off and restarted numerous times. I've never used ODIN nor flashed firmware. Where would I get the correct software to do this? Also, would it make a difference if my phone is an international dual SIM?

Software and instructions are here on xda in our device forum thread.
I'm unsure about your device. Dual sim intl version is definitely a different beast. You may want to ask in that forum... Sorry.

I had a similar problem and couldn't even find the wi-fi calling option, let alone enable it. Here's how I fixed it: I enabled Bixby and updated it. Then I said "Hey Bixby, enable wi-fi calling..." and not only did Bixby enable it, she located the settings. The setting lives under "Call Settings" which isn't accessible in any other way than by using Bixby (at least from what I can see).
Now wi-fi calling is enabled and I now have a whole host of additional call settings available to me.
Hope this helps.

I'm using a TMobile SIM on the TMobile network. The settings are stock Android (not TMobile) but they can only be accessed by using Bixby. They aren't found by browsing Settings or searching the phone.
I've made several successful WiFi calls since

Pixel XL Unable to Use Cellular Radio

Hello,
I have a 32gb pixel XL that was purchased from the Google store and is a US version. I can't get it to connect to cell towers. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth both work fine. I have factory reset the device, I have flashed factory images from Google, which should flash new radios/modems..? I have flashed 8.1.0, 8.0, & 7.1.2 I have also flashed to both slots a/b.
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* yields these results... (see attached pictures)
I have tried toggling airplane mode, flipping the switches to turn on cellular radio power and nothing seems to work. I have tried a working project Fi sim card and a sprint sim card. The phone recognizes both sim cards, but can not activate service. Airplane mode is off, and if I try and make a call, it says turn off airplane mode.
I have done some Google searching about this issue. I found a few posts on Google forums, but no answers. I'm wondering if it's related to a hardware issue or something related to firmware that isn't updated when a new image is flashed.
Please let me know if you need anymore details.
Thanks for your time!

You are talking about the top toggle switch that's on the second screen shot that's posted?
I don't know if that's something I can actually toggle...

I finally got the phone back from my friend. I tried what you suggested, but it didn't work. I'm able to toggle that switch, but once I leave that app, it's untoggled when I open the app again. If I leave the app open once I flip the switch to on, nothing happens, the cell icon is still empty and nothing works.
Thanks for your input, have any other ideas?
I have the same issue .I know the phone EMEI is not black listed and the SIM is good as I use this in my own phome. The radio switched off when am leaving the radio screen . No antenna Icon comes up. I was wondering if there is a hard hare test for the radio section. I would like to prove the hardware is at fault before cracking the case open .
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but was there any resolve to this as I have exactly the same issue with my Son's sailfish?
Tried , factory reset, loaded latest full OTA, tried custom rom, different radio's, full wipe. Running out of ideas!
Like the OP when trying to select a network it will immediately toggle back and say no networks, go to dialer radio , radio is switched off, but toggling it to on does nothing. (Sim works in another phone, the pixel recognizes it has a sim but no network.
Any suggestions welcome (help!)
I'm having the same problem with my mi a2 lite can someone please help

No data during call after oreo update

Hello. I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I have a Verizon note 8 that i use on straight talk for the longest it never would update to oreo but then i cracked the screen and purchased another used verizon note 8 from ebay. It came to me with a cricket sim card in it. I turned it on and connected it to wifi just to check it out before i transferred anything and it immediately wanted to update so i let it and it updated to oreo. I swapped over my ST sim into the new phone and stuck the cricket sim into the old phone and it updated too. But now my problem is that I keep getting the message that data is unavailable during calls. When i check the settings it says i am on CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA. And there is no option to edit my APN. If i click on the mobile network i have the option for LTE/3G/2G but if i choose this nothing works and i have no option to go back to the CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA and thus have to do a factory reset. I have tried texting APN to 611611 but it states my APN is already setup. I called tech support for ST and they told me to call back from another phone which i cant do until this evening when i get off work. So i thought in the mean time i would reach out to the real pro's on here and see if anyone else has had this issue. Did i mess up by updating with the cricket SIM inserted? Or could it be that i just didnt call straight talk when i swapped phones? i just took the sim card out of one phone and stuck it in the other. I really appreciate any advice anyone may have. Oh and I've tried finding the settings for HD calling to enable them, not there.
Thanks,
Amy
I'm having this same issue with my Verizon branded note 8 that I manually updated to Oreo. I called my carried, Red Pocket and they stated that this is enabled for my account. In Oreo the hidden menus seem to be disabled and I've tried other things. I may have to see if I can go back to Nougat. The dialer hidden menu I tried was *#2683662#. On the Verizon forums, other were able to get to the menu using *#4636# and enable VoLTE but that seems to be disabled for me. I tested from my coworkers note 8 and it seems to work fine on their phone.

I reflashed CRID and the CSC but my Service Provider SW ver. still says VZW/XAA/VZW. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Has anyone figured this out? I am having this very issue and Straight Talk has no clue what I am talking about.
I found this on the Samsung website and it looks promising but nothing has changed. I was able to see that the radiobutton/checkbox for LTE Enhanced is checked.
To enable HD Calling, download Shortcut Master (Secret Codes) Lite from developer vndnguyen. You will need to find the apk as it does not appear to be in the play store any longer.
1) From the option menu located in the upper right hand corner, choose Search.
2) There is a search field at the bottom of the screen. Type lte then hit the Search key.
3) Scroll down to Mobile Networks. Choose the one that show EnhancedLteServices. Then click Launch. Then click the box to enable HD Calling.
I was also able to set the APN settings to Bearer: unspecified using Shortcut Master lite but this made no difference whatsoever.
Finally, you don't need to do a factory reset each time you go from CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect), simply search in settings for reset network and then reset the network settings and reboot.
I was able to get the SIM card trick to work for me on my Note 8 as well. I have redpocket and prior to doing the sim card trick I did not have VoLTE. Now I do. It's too bad that this is majorly inconvenient and it won't stick after a reboot, by the sounds of it. I haven't tried yet. I may just tape the sim to the back of my phone or inside my case. Also, on my Note 8 prior to this, I was seeing vzw/xaa/vzw and now it has the vzw/vzw/vzw CSC with the RP sim in. I'm hoping that there is another way to fix this but at least I have a work around.
I updated to Oreo on my verizon note 8.
I dont have any options for advanced HD Calling, Wifi calling.
When I go to ims settings it says denied.
Any ideas

WiFi calling on unlocked p2XL on vzw

I have been trying to figure this out since I got this phone in late 2017. How do I get the wifi calling to work on vzw with my unlocked 2xl? Reading on the internet seems to indicate that there is some software missing for this feature to work with vzw. This 2xl may have wifi calling on T-Mobile for example, but not vzw because it isn't "carrier branded" for vzw. I'm assuming that's some piece of software.
Does anyone know what this is and is it a shareable file that someone could provide and explain where I need to put it in my phone via solid explorer to get the wifi calling working on this phone? I was so excited for that feature when I upgraded from my s4, and have never had it yet. It's one downfall for the unlocked phone.
Anyone? Do I just need to flash a Verizon radio image or something like that?
I have also been trying to do this as well, in that menu, it is not provisioned, does that mean my carrier needs to do something?

After setting up android 10, I went to settings>Network & internet > Mobile Network > Advanced, and tapped wifi calling, turned the toggle on and a screen popped up "activate wifi calling;" it required me to enter the emergency location information address.. I pressed save, and wifi calling was activated.
Are you on Verizon with an unlocked pixel 2XL I take it? Were you too unable to get Wi-Fi calling working on Verizon before the Android 10 update?
Is there anyone out there that has information on this? How is vzw locking out bring your own devices from their WiFi calling and several other services? What identifier on the phone are they using and how can it be tricked with root? Are there any Xposed modules that could make this work?

I have my pixel 2xl from google and it's working without issue.
Go to settings, network and internet tap on mobile network and scroll down to advanced and it's at the bottom (above apn settings). That's all I had to do. Nothing special even though I'm rooted it still had nothing to do with root.
Let me know if this helped

Yes, see my post down below
I have been reading and reading and reading on this. I can't find a way to make these carrier services work. What can I do? Here is what I see when I dial *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer.
The options are turned out turned on but greyed out for Wi-Fi calling, video calling, and UT interface. It tells me my IMS registered and voice over LTE is available. Do I need to change any settings in this section of my phone app? Do I have to change my preferred network type to something other than LTE / CDMA automatic, or change my radio band? What about the SIP server?
No one knows of a work around?

This has happen to me a couple times when I was using an essential phone and tried to get WiFi calling to work on it. Once I went back to my unlocked pixel 2xl I had to call the help line and get my "video calling" turned back on. Which in turn re activated my WiFi calling. Just have them check i bet something got turned off on their end.
