I'm trying to figure out why VoLTE (Voice over LTE) doesn't appear to be working on the Nexus 5X on my carrier (Rogers Wireless in Canada). When I make a call, it drops down to HSPA+. While this still works for voice and data at the same time, it's less than ideal. I know Rogers supports VoLTE since the end of March of this year.
From the hidden *#*#4636#*#* menu, the option "TURN OFF VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG" appears, but unlike the other options cannot be toggled. Additionally, the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" toggle does not appear under Wireless & Networks → More... → Cellular networks. I've attached screenshots of both screens.
Is this something that we will have to wait for a future update to enable? Currently on build MDB08I.

also curious to know about this... Do we know what band is used for VoLTE? I believe T-Mobile uses band 12 - (700MHz? or is 700 band 17?). Rogers rolled out that band a while ago (before VoLTE) presumably as a precursor for it.. maybe the secret lies here?
I cant test at the moment but I will when I get home.. Unless a zip can be made.
edit: 700mhz bands 12(700a),13(700c),17(700b) and 29(700d and 700e).

Band 12 is 700MHz (sometimes refereed to as 700 a, 699–716 UL 729–746 DL), this is used by T-Mobile. Rogers also has a 700MHz band, but it's Band 17 (sometimes referred to as 700 b c, 704–716 UL 734–746 DL). As I understand it, VoLTE is a prerequisite for enabling Band 12 on T-Mobile (along with E911 certification), but VoLTE should work for every LTE band (including Band 4, which is the dominant band used by Rogers/Telus/Bell).
I'm a little hesitant to flash the old radio, so please report back once you get a chance to try it!
I'm pretty sure Rogers on supports VoLTE on the latest apple products. Rogers sucks

From what I've researched, it supports VoLTE on the iPhone 6S/6S+, along with:
Rogers said:
The LG Vigor; the Samsung GS6, GS6 edge, GS6 edge+ and Note 5; and the LG G4 are all currently compatible. To see if your device is VoLTE-compatible, check the device specifications on rogers.com.

If you go to the device specifications on Rogers' website, nothing is written about VoLTE on any of the phones including the G4. However, on the blurb about the G4 when you search Android devices, it lists "Rogers VoLTE" as one of the features. Nothing on the GS6/edge/+/Note5 indicates they are compatible with VoLTE. LG Vigor is no longer offered.

so basically band 12 700a is useless to us on Rogers?

Right, since Rogers doesn't use it, it shouldn't matter to us.
I'm still not sure why the option doesn't exist (even grayed out) under "Cellular network settings" and why "TURN OFF VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG" cannot be toggled. The option that exists for the Nexus 6 after the update to enable VoLTE was pushed (5.1) under "Cellular network settings" says "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" as pictured in the attached screenshot.
It would be helpful if people who were on other networks besides Rogers (especially US providers) if they could post a screenshot of their "Cellular network settings" and tell us if "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" is available. If people on other carriers have the option, then perhaps it is an issue of the device not recognizing that VoLTE is offered by Rogers?

According to other posts, the "TURN OFF VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG" doesn't toggle but a reboot (or several) enables the Advanced 4G option to be enabled. I think both Verizon and T-Mo users have this option, just greyed out.
I don't get it either... we are all on the same firmware, I personally came from a G4 so VoLTE is active on my account but I think its a case of Rogers not allowing our "non supported" devices to use VoLTE. I'm calling tech support to see if they can help out..
edit: no luck.. they still have my device listed as a G4 and say everything is good on their end.
no amounts of reboots will help rogers.. but thank you..

Verizon has the enhanced 4g option.. only after some messing around I think.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/verizon-voice-lte-t3231184
Yeah downgrading the radio did nothing for us. Since 700a is useless to us I'm flashing the new radio.

Thanks for the update. I'm still curious to find out if anyone has the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" option in their settings, and whether it's a matter of the carrier settings or not being enabled in the ROM. The fact that Verizon people are getting HD calls indicates it has to do with our carrier. I'm trying to get in touch with Rogers and see if they could possibly enable it, they're selling the 6P in their stores so maybe there's hope for our lovely device.

I didn't realise they were getting the 6p.. This might help us out a lot. Do you happen to know an eta?
Edit: just saw that Canadian carriers will be getting the 5X "soon". The word is end of October. Also noticed on rogers' page that there is no mention of VoLTE being a "feature" of the 6P. Here's to staying positive that it and the upcoming Rogers 5X will carry this "feature".. :fingers-crossed:

Last news that came out said they would start fulfilling preorders November 4th. It was delayed a couple times so it could be delayed again.
So the device is available now on rogers, but it is not included in the list when searching by VoLTE. Moto Nexus 6 is tho...
Weird thing is my account was set up with the G4, so VoLTE was set up on my account and according to rogers it still is but I am not able to get it to work with my 5x.

Yeah, even with 6.0.1 it still drops to 3G for calls, I'm not exactly stock so it could be an issue with how I flashed it but I doubt that is the case. It is still the case that "TURN OFF VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG" cannot be toggled in the hidden dialer menu. Also there is still nothing under "Cellular network settings" that says "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" like on the Nexus 6.
Since Rogers is only offering the 6P, I don't know if we'll ever see VoLTE for the 5X... but if they patch it in for the software for the 6P, they could theoretically add it in for the 5X too. So maybe there's still hope for a future update that will enable this. 6P still is not listed as a VoLTE device on the Rogers website, but now they are allowing you to search for devices that support VoLTE, which shows you all the usual suspects. So perhaps this feature is getting more prominent for Rogers.
Bell and Telus are offering the 5X directly, but neither carrier has launched VoLTE.
I have the same questions/issues with AT&T as well. My 5X will not expose the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" either. I have all the IMS based features turned on in the dialer menu. Of course you will need a SIM that is attached to a VoLTE account on the back end systems, and I have several of them. You have to be provisoned in the HSS and TAS as IMS capable. If I look at a registration event from the 5X it says its voice service is "CS Only" while my other VoLTE phones attach as both "LTE Voice" and "CS Voice".
I highly suspect the 5X is coded to not allow IMS/VoLTE for other than T-Mob and VZ, but why I don't know.
Recently, jio and airtel announced VoWifi in India. I am sure many other carries must be offering this already globally.
Does op5t support VoWifi?
Yes, OnePlus 5T supports VoWiFi (WiFi Calling).
how to enable it and when it will be officially available in india
is there a workaround for att in the US? My Galaxy s8+ had wificalling and so did my galaxy s5 but for some reason they don't let me enable it on my 5t
Volte on a (sprint) flashed ULM with android pie
is it possible?
Do your operator support it?
Operators can switch the funktion On your device
Problem with volte is that operators have to pay a licens to qualicom to use it and the licens is model specific. Lg g7 are not that common and menny operators don't whant to pay for a smal number of costumers and prioritise Samsung and apple. My operator supports volte but isn't going to pay for the licens of lg phones...
Hi,
Does anyone have the 0 or F/DS variant in Canada and do any of the following features work for you? If they do or don't please also post your carrier (I'm on Telus).
- WiFi Calling
- LTE-A
- VoLTE
- e-SIM
Looking at getting the Hong Kong variant since e-SIM isn't even a working function in Canada or the USA for that matter when the iPhone and other phones get it. Every year I push myself closer and closer to just getting an iPhone. Boot loader completely locked down, check. Can't root, check. VoLTE doesn't work unless it's a carrier phone, check. No e-SIM, check. Like what's the point of an Android anymore? All the above features work on an iPhone no matter what carrier (or country for that matter) you bought it from. Samsung is a mush of CSC files, hardware variants, LTE bands...
Thanks,

No such thing as a perfect device, likely never will be. Best option is to list feature priorities then decide. i have the Hong Kong variant on T-mobile USA. Dual SIM which eliminates the need for an eSIM, bootloader is unlocked, can root the device. WiFi Calling and VoLTE function but no Carrier Aggeration (LTE-A). I wouldn't consider the F/DS variant, it has the Exynos SoC. Not an iPhone fan either, not impressed with their devices or ecosystem.
Thanks for the reply, its nice to see at least VoLTE and WiFi calling work (at least on T-Mobile in the USA). Anyone here on Telus? LTE-A isn't a priority considering a single band is typically fast enough for me these days, if I'm on a lower band it's for a reason (like distance). Does your dual SIM phone still support e-SIM? It's nice just to scan a plan and get going verses hunting the airport / local stores for a SIM.
Priority for me goes:
1) WiFi Calling
2) VoLTE
3) e-SIM
4) LTE-A

eSIM isn't available unless you aquire an International Variant with the Exynos SoC. I'm not aware of any Dual SIM devices which support eSIM. IMHO you have to really want the eSIM to sacrifice a device with a vastly inferior Exynos SoC.

No no, dual SIM would be best in that case. Anyone in Canada can comment on the above?
Does Wifi-Calling work on both SIMs or SIM/eSIM on the S2, if they are from a different region?
Both my providers allow Wifi-Calling abroad.
Can anybody please confirm?
I have a Telus S20+ only support VoLTE, no WIFI-Calling. The reason I get this phone because of esim such a big disappointment.
I have Hongkong variant s20 5G (sm-g9810) using in Sri Lanka.
The phone supports physical dual SIM , dual 5G, VoLTE , VolWIFI.
Only disappointment with Hongkong variant is the lack of e-sim support and Call recording feature.
Hi guys , is anyone experience no 5G network on LG wing ? I mean , even if the carrier and sim support 5G and the area is well covered , setting are not showing 5G /4G/3G ..the phone can only select 4G/3/GSM ...is there any trick or hodden feature to activate 5G bands on the phone ?
I am in China and I have spent a lot of money to get a mobile phone from abroad. ￥9000+= $1400! I can't turn on 5G, there's only 4G in the Settings, damn it! Maybe Verizon and LG won't offer any features for Chinese users, such as Volte calls. After all, I paid $1400. I'm sad.
I'm in China, I paid a high price to buy a mobile phone, but I can't turn on 5g, the Settings are only 4g, ****!
