Hi,
I just got a sim that only supports LTE and VoLTE for calls and messages and basically any connectivity. So what I am looking for is a way to add VoLTE support to my LG G3 D855 32GB International Unlocked phone. It can be a stock ROM addition or a custom ROM, which supports it. Internet data connectivity works fine, just for the VoLTE part I have to use a custom app, which calls over the internet through LTE, but I'd like to have the VoLTE functionality integrated in the ROM. If someone has a solution then it'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
First of all check if your phone is capable of VoLTE.. Most of snapdragon and Mtk phones are capable of it.. Second if it is capable then change modem/baseband as per the requirements of service provider. And some minor build.prop addition.. Then you may use Volte. Anyhow cm13 can be made volte capable..
Oxygen OS seems to be the only one giving me perfect implementation of VOLTE on JIO network in India. By perfect implementation I mean:
1. No need to install their app to make voice calls work.
2. Calls do not get disabled when connected to other WIFI networks.
On LineageOS 14.1 what I experienced was:
1. Had to install their Jio4GVoice app to make calling work (no big deal, I can live with that).
2. If I connect to a WiFi network (need to often do that at work), calling from this 4G SIM seems gets disabled. I can no longer even receive calls.
Has anyone tried various combinations. Could you share your experience. I don't like being stuck to OxygenOS but currently that's the only one working perfectly.
Here in the US, Volte is not only important to me but so is wifi calling or Vowifi. Both of these are implemented in the stock OOS rom. Until these features are offered in a custom rom, I can't switch as there are areas in my home that have poor network reception and wifi calling is necessary.
So it seems the alternatives like LineageOS or AOSP etc are lacking in VOWiFi.

I recently bought the sim.. Tried on aosip but didnt work without the voice app.. I didn't try it out with other roms yet though.. Works as it should on oos based roms..

OOS 4.0.2 is perfect. Lol I can even switch mobile data off and voice calls still works. Best volte implementation yet.

True.. They have this patch in the redmi note 3 section which enables volte on custom roms for it so you can use the stock dialer.. Not sure if it'd work on the op3 though..

Nothing to worry about if you live in Spain where only s7 edge is supported lol

Lineage OS just got released wait for a month at least . When Snapshot comes use that .
and I dont think VoLTE need any app , I dont have any of it but surely app wont do anything.

Managed to get it working.. All I did was flash an OOS ROM (experience), was using it for a while I guess you need to make a calls and send SMS, then clean wipe and flash aosip.. Calls and sms work now with or without WiFi [emoji122] [emoji119]

I just switched back to T-Mobile. My phone is fine on WiFi calling (HTC 10) but my wife's phone can't access it. She doesn't like me touching her phone often so it's currently on MM using Resurrection Remix.
Can it be done on this phone? I know a "stock-like" ROM had to be used on my HTC so can it be done on an OxygenOS based ROM? Can it be done on a non-Oxygen OS based ROM?
Thanks!
I start to wonder if T-Mobile whitelists by IMEI. It does NOT work on OnePlus 3 AFAIK

Damn can anyone confirm? The OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T are basically the same phone yet the 3T works and the 3 doesn't out of the box. It's not the end of the world but it is annoying.
T-Mobile wifi calling works for me on OP3. I'm running FreedomOS 2.8.
One caveat, I don't get wifi calling when I connect to my office's wifi. I get it everywhere else.

First of all, this feature is Sim dependent, so if you are on a plan that does not offer that feature, you can't get it. Next the room you are using has to support this feature. Not all do. I am using an AOSP room (7.1.2) and I am able to use this feature.

Yes I have the service I'm not that stupid. I'm using it on my line and all lines have the same service. I'm asking which ROMs for the OP3 (non T) model support wifi calling.

ASOP ROMS, not LOS, such as RR.
I flashed freedom os works with WiFi calling. However, I noticed it's the only rom that lists it as passing safety net (which is what the wifi calling and whatnot needs). I didn't both with the other roms but are you sure the other roms will work with T mobile WiFi calling?

You can use virtually any AOSP (Pure Nexus. AOSP extended, Phoenix AOSP Extended) for WiFi calling. They all have the feature. If you use Magisck, it will also pass safety net. Just enable hide in Magisck settings and disable adb settings in developer options.

Just installed Phoenix no go for T-Mobile Wifi calling. I have access to SIP settings but nothing to enable T-Mobile's Wifi service in the US. Am I stuck with Freedom OS only?

I did and it doesn't enable. I tested by enabling airplane mode, then enable wifi, pick wifi preferred. Nothing happens. I tried Phoenix and AOSP Extended.
This was after a full format...
Works for me. I don't know what to say.

T-Mobile wifi calling works in the USA on either of those roms?
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I told you they do and if I could attach a screenshot, you would be able to see. BTW, I live in San Diego.
Many retail/unlock mobiles have "Wifi Calling" function but not any menu entry to enable , The APP can check the hidden function and enable it if can use.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widget7.wifi.calling
Just to weigh in here, I can confirm that WiFi calling on T-Mobile works for me on my OnePlus 3 (Asia/Europe model, no US LTE bands) running on a nougat based custom ROM. I do have Magisk installed with SafetyNet working.
So is it possible to enable wifi calling and/or VoLte on stock 8.1 rooted or any firmware of the pixel without being on Verizon? I am on AT&T so just wondering if there is a mod or something I can do to enable it.
Magisk has a module that can do that; VoEnabler .... this module will enable access to the features in the pixel, in Dialer, settings, etc. * but that doesn't mean you can actually use them;
First, check that your carrier/service actually supports the feature .... You can check with a secret code though; in Dialer;
*#*#4636#*#*
Then navigate to "Phone Information"... from there scroll down;
you should see the stuff for VOLTE, Wifi Calling, Video Calling, etc. If it's enabled then you may be good to go..
but if your carrier doesn't support it - enabling it via VoEnabler will do nothing to change that.
Also, I don't know about the US, but in Canada - some carriers (under some plans) do charge extra for this stuff.

It is all carrier dependant, i got my XL from Verizon and I'm on TMO and wifi calling and volte is working but I don't think att supports the pixels for volte and wifi calling

Sort of this. Basically AT&T will not support VoLTE or WiFi calling on any unbranded unlocked devices brought onto their network. Never worked on my T-Mobile Note 4 nor my Google purchased Pixel XL. I was a long time subscriber to their service but once my dependency on MMS messaging increased I had no choice but to switch to another carrier. I wound up on Verizon after a brief time with T-Mobile. Both support full functionality of these devices.

Before installing magisk I dialed that number and they were all greyed out, I installed magisk installed the module and now VoLte and Wifi calling are both enabled in that menu and in the settings menu. I tested wifi calling and it worked. So maybe just need the module installed and it will work. That's what worked for me.

Cool. glad to hear my advice helped... but also using the secret code in the Dialer would've verified if your carrier supports it on their network, beforehand; that's why I posted in that step...
also, just as a reminder; I'd make sure that there aren't any hidden fees associated with using those features, I don't know much about US carriers; aside from that they are (generally) against Net Neutrality.... But I know with my particular carrier, in Canada; If i wasn't using the plan that I am on; they would be charging me extra - and it would add up quick... so best to double check, maybe.

I came to this phone from a s7 edge that had VoLTe and Wifi calling on it never got charged for anything, would it be different with a non carrier phone?

I have no idea: I live in Canada and have never dealt with US carriers ~ that's something that you will need to verify on your own. Some may allow it; some may not... you guys do things quite a bit different south of the border, so I just don't know....
You should be able to find that out in the support/QA area of your Carrier's website ~ if not there, you can ask them directly.
but yeah, obviously, if it was working on your S7 - then your network supports it....
Hello, I am on Vodafone UK, recently my area is getting poor 4G coverage so the vodafone tech guy asked me to shift on wifi calling inside the house. He enabled it from carrier perpective but I have to enable it on handset as well. I struggled to find the option. Now using the secret code above I can see I have wifi calling option greyed out. btw, I am on stock android 8.1. What is the best and least intrusive way to get the wifi calling working on my handset.
I am not a developer but have experience with root on previous devices. If I have to install Magisk( is there a non-root option?) what module etc I need to install to get this working please..

Flash magisk and get the module called VoEnabler just sear h VoLte in the search bar it should pop up then after it installs restart phone and you should have the options.
Hi Praveenjohri - did you get this to work?
I too have a Pixel XL and on Vodafone UK; again the wifi calling option is greyed out.
Any layman guides as to how to Flash magisk and go about enabling this? Thanks in advance
Ok so I'm very disappointed that the WiFi Calling function (VoWifi) has been disabled in this phone, along with Volte, take a look in your phone information by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and you will see that they're both there but disabled. You can enable Volte by dialing *#*#86583#*#* and you will see an enhanced 4g LTE Mode option appear in network settings and get HD (calling) in the status bar when on 4g, depending on your network.
BUT, there seems no way to enable WiFi calling? There is a Magisk module available called voenabler which I have installed, it has enabled the wifi calling menu, but when I make a call with no mobile network I get the message "Mobile network not available. Connect to a wireless network to make a call" as opposed to the usual "Mobile network no available" So it seems that it's trying, but not seeing my network?
I know it can provider dependant, I get HD calling and IMS registration, just seems like an odd error msg, can anyone shed any light on this please?
From my research it seems that this could be an AndroidOne license thing, my Brother has bought a P20 lite and it works out of the box, are Google saving the functions for it's flagship Pixels or network contract phones? Wouldn't surprise me, maybe Pie will switch it on....... Doubt it.
I'm surprised that there is not more activity on this thread.
WiFi calling is very convenient in poor signal areas but as you say it seems to be disabled on this phone.
I'm now using A2 lite as my daily phone, VOLTE working great but lack of WiFi calling a real disappointment.
Just for mental support, I'm also very disappointed that this feature is missing. I really need this feature in my well isolated home. I have to go outdoors to make phone calls.....
Under debug (*#*#INFO#*#*) it's indeed still locked. Disabled carrier check for VOLte as you said with *#*#86583#*#* though.
Yes I've all but given up... I've had the phone months but not used it.
I'll keep it until the pie update, a comment on the pie thread said that it enabled volte with a working ims, I asked but no one confirmed wether or not vowifi was enabled or switchable in the info settings.
Trouble is there is no information about vowifi in any other android one phone? If I knew it was available I'd buy a Nokia 6.1 plus for example.
Reset phone back to factory, installed Pie ota, both volte and vowifi are disabled as in Oreo. Real shame as this A2 is a cracking phone for the price, but I'll have to find something else. Preferably AndroidOne with WiFi calling!
VoLTE & WiFI Calling not working for T-Mobile USA. Even 2G/3G calling is spotty at best. If you want to use the Mi A2 Lite for calling on T-Mobile in USA, good luck. 4G LTE, data, MMS/SMS are flawless, however calling is really bad.
Wifi calling is working fine, if you're supported the toggles show up in google phone.
I used magisk module voenable although I don't think it did anything, could be wrong but wifi calling and volte working great
Thanks Boe!
I see you're in the Uk, what network are you on? Contract / sim only? I've tried most in my A2 Lite and none worked but they were just payg sims. I haven't tried the voenabler again after installing Pie.
Both networks are contract ,Vodafone uk and EE UK, they both have wifi 4g calling enabled in there provider account , plus didn't work untill I dialed that number , flashed magisk also with module voenable. I didn't check for wifi option in Google phone before magisk so don't know if it helped or not. Reading in xiomi forum, it's disabled for certain countries including UK even though it's a global use phone, which is rediculous.Have a look in your provider account if you have one, or create an account so you have access to sim provider config.
Latest beta v27 Google phone if that helps.
Cheers. I'm on BT uk and have vowifi enabled as I've put my sim in an iphone and it went on wifi calling. My brother has ee, I'll try his card.
They seem to have done something new for Pie as previously only one sim could get 4g? Looks like I'll have to re-install magisk and try voenable again, was it simple in pie with the different bootimage?

Same process but with 10.20 patched boot in pie dump thread, i still made my own though, seems logical to use your own patched boot. Although check to make sure its the right size as first time i did it, the patch had zero bytes. Wifi calling enables on both sims and hd calling, i assume its just a bug, sometimes it works as expected and sometimes it enables everything on both sims lol, battery goes quick. Wish i could get nfc on it but theres no chip so thats a no go. As long as you dont mess with the system partition outside of magisk ota's will be more simple to sort out, keep stock boot as back up on pc and phone. Busy box is one file in sbin folder if you install it.

I can confirm that Wifi Calling works on Orange Poland after installing VoEnabler module in Magisk:
Cheers Guys!
Reinstalled Magisk and Voenabler after removing it to upgrade to Pie, and have Wifi calling on BT uk! Tested and working.
Definitely something to do with Pie as would not work in Oreo (or without voenable in Pie)
Glad you sorted it bro, it's nice to have functions working.
Yes it is, you're right it is ridiculous that it's disabled and I still suspect it's androidone licensing or network pressure limiting the functions.
And it shows what a load of BS and miss-information there is around wifi calling, I called BT and asked saying I wanted to buy a new phone with it, the first guy who seemed quite bright said it should work if the phone's not on their official list as long as the phone supports it (he seemed a little reluctant, like he shouldn't be telling me) The second call when I asked if they could check I was sim enabled I was told by a lady that it definitely would not work unless I bought a phone from their list - Xiaomi? Who are they?
And according to my BT app I still don't have either volte or vowifi.....
I'm well pleased, I have no / borderline network signal from any provider in or around my home so now I have a working phone!
Guys any idea if the Pie update on A2 made possible the Vowifi? I tried on mine but only Volte seems to work. Cosmote Greece.
