Anyone has VoLTE on EE or Three UK?

Live in Edinburgh and just got my OP3. After put Three and EE sim cards into phone, I can't find "enhanced LTE" option in the setting menu. Does it means that VoLTE is not supported on EE and Three?

Yes, I can confirm that VoLTE and WiFi calling doesn't work on EE.
On Three you can probably use their app for VoLTE and WiFi calling (if you are not rooted).

Hi there. I can connect to the 800MHz LTE on the Three network, however there is no option for me to use native VoLTE or VoLTE via their InTouch app at all.
I doubt we'll see VoLTE natively on this device, but there may be a chance that a future update to inTouch would let it work there, but damn I hate their app.

Hi, how did you check you were on 800mhz on Three?

You can use this app to see your signal type: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite
Or use the dialer and use *#*#4636#*#* to view additional signal information.
It's somewhat of a guessing game also. I only get LTE signal here if its 800MHz as they recently rolled it out.

I have LTE on Three, but not VoLTE.
I also hate their awful app.

I'm trying to get VoLTE working with 3 on my OP3 too. From what I can tell, we need the APN settings for the 3 IMS APN. Damned if I can find these listed anywhere though. If somebody has an official 3 phone with working VoLTE then we can copy it off there.
I'm wondering if the Enhanced 4G voice option will show in settings when a compatible APN is detected? Other people seem to have VoLTE working on their OP3 (looking at posts on xda), but I'm not sure if they're using the stock rom or not.

The issue is that EE/Three really have no incentive to support the OP3 because they don't sell it.

Same goes for all UK networks none of them will enable VoLTE on the OnePlus 3

Just want to bump this thread as 3G coverage is rubbish around my home area. For some reason I only get 4G and am not able to get 3G. I have to use the Three In touch app to even receive calls

I'm interested too. My wife and I are both on three UK. She gets VoLTE on her Xiaomi Mi5 Pro but I don't see any options at all on my OP3

How do you get VoLTE on that? According to gsmarena it doesn't support band 20, and as far as I know Three only has VoLTE on band 20? It would be interesting if you could let me know if a) Three are now running VoLTE on band 3 too, or b) It actually does support band 20. Here's the gsmarena page: http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5-6948.php
Thanks!

I've no idea. We were just sat in a pub and she asked me what the VoLTE in the status bar meant. Sure enough the icon was there and she gets it quite often

If you're on EE you probably won't get VoLTE; they're having trouble supporting the S7 so the OnePlus 3 is pretty much a lost cause. I know that kinda sucks for you guys on the better performing network
Three are more likely to; they support a lot more phones on VoLTE and are generally a lot more Android friendly than EE (EE always release Android updates very late, and everything is given to iPhones first).
But I'm obviously just guessing here, until VoLTE is more mature in the UK it's likely VoLTE support will be the complete mess it is now with only major phones getting it.
Hope that helped

why would you want 3g if you can get 4g ?

Last time I checked with Three they told me that only some phones approved/sold by them support VoLTE.
A few months ago they whitelisted the Oneplus 2 to use VoLTE though their app. The Oneplus 3 is not supported yet (not sure if it will be in the future).

Sorry. If you don't know voLTE (on the three network) only works on 800mhz, which only works on 3 carrier bought phones. 3G is the only way you can call apart from that, and as I already said, my area does not have 3G coverage.

4g calling now works on 3.5.2 on EE

Flashing from 4g+ to lte

Is it just a bug that when the phone accesses data it constantly flaahes real quick from 4g+ to lte?

Maybe it is some kind of a bug, as I'm seeing that also and I'm on T-Mobile. I do have the option for VoLTE enabled, next time I see it doing this I'll try disabling that.

Check out my thread. I have a similar issue. I believe it's a radio or software problem that should be able easy fix.

I'm in France, and I have the same problem with 4G+ and LTE..
I hope it will be fixed in OOS 3.1.4

3.2.0 still not fixed

I'm having the issue here. Determined it only flashes to 4G+ when there is active data downloading. Otherwise it sits at LTE. US/AT&T here. Was considering going to T-Mobile to put a SIM in the 2nd tray and see if it does it there too, because I was thinking it was just an APN setting.
An easy way to tell is open YouTube and playback a video off of cellular..indicator will stick on 4G+. Alternatively, run a Speed Test, when downloading it will flash back and forth rapidly, however when doing the upload test it will stay on LTE.
I always thought 4G+ was the same as HSDPA+/HSUPA+ which is nowhere near as fast as LTE. Does anyone having the issue have a recent LTE phone they can swap back into and copmare speed tests?
Edit - typos.

4G is LTE. Not sure what 4G+ is. On LTE when it works I can get around 100 down.

Hmm, no 4G and LTE are different, in the US at least. 4G was marketed before LTE came about, you can see proof of this on an iPhone 4S, which did not have LTE radios but did label HSDPA+ connections as 4G. So you can thank Apple for the marketing confusion. However, upon researching this issue it seems 4G+ (with the plus, not just 4G) is the technical equivalent to LTE. It is just used in different countries, such as Singapore.
Regardless, the issue seems to have gone away after coming to work and being in different AT&T towers. I'm guessing it was just a graphical bug.

In Europe 4g and Lte is the same but the 4g+ is the new faster net
From North Pole

Pretty certain the one plus when using carrier aggregation shows the 4G+ and 4g when on HSDPA. Confusing for certain but when I've noticed it that's been the case (as much as I can tell without field test)

Yes that's exactly what mine is doing, however today it does it sometimes and other times it remains showing LTE when downloading data. I noticed when it remains as LTE, the up/down indicators in the pull-down settings don't show up, which leads me to believe even more that the LTE/4G+ toggling is just a visual bug, as they are technically the same network connection.

I took contact with the Oneplus support about this problem. They told me to send them a log with a hidden menu ( call the *#800#). He sent the log to the development team, I will tell you if I have news

Can confirm carrier aggregation. Started data transfer and the phone information shows a change from LTE to 4G+ and the network type line changes from LTE to LTE_CA. T-Mobile US as well.

The Razer phone will work with GSM networks, like AT&T, T-Mobile, and their subsidiaries. It will NOT work on CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint.

I will tell you. The answer is no. I'm in Korea KT is CDMA. The data side works, UMTS B1 & LTE B1 B2 & B8 but the voice calls do not work. In phone drops even LTE if/when I attempt to make a call. Calls over Wifi isn't an option either since my carrier doesn't support it. Over here everyone uses VOIP anyways. Im not bothered by the lack of calling I rarely even use my 'phone' anyways. Plus I'm hoping to get back to the states soon and I will be back on AT&T.

I purchased the Razer phone and am using Verizon with it. There is a work around that their tier 2 tech team can do. They add your line just on their LTE(GSM) network ( No band 13 CDMA is utilized). So if you are in an area that has good to great LTE signal then you can get the phone. Mine works great at work and outdoors. My only issue is at home. I always had one bar with all my other phones and now I have no service. I am waiting for a Samsung 4g LTE extender from Verizon so that I can correct that issue.
Rumor has it, Verizon will make the shift to just LTE by the end of 2018. If and when this happens, CDMA band and cellphones will no longer work with their network.
Hope I helped anyone who has the phone or wants to buy it. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

Ok I got mine working on LTE as well but there's no phone capabilities. Sure u can send text and surf the internet but u can't make phone calls.

I used Verizon's live chat initially. Reason for this is I was able to save the conversation and use it as a reference when I had to call back and got another rep. Also, good way for the tier 2 tech team to catch up. It took some time and persistence to get it right. Once the chat rep exhausts all their troubleshoots, they will escalate it to tier 2. A threat about me leaving and going elsewhere was used on one occasion.
It did take time and patience but I think the phone is worth the trouble. My Razer works just as well as my GS 7 edge. Just a reminder. It is on LTE only, so if you hit an area without LTE you will not function.

I did my own questioning with this and simply stuck my SIM card from my Google phone into my Razer and for while it worked but I noticed it didn't stick.
So I called Verizon and they told me that because my sim card was registered to my Google phone I would need to go and get a new sim and stock it into the Razer and it would then work on LTE and would stick

I am going to say no and you should try live chat again. I had ported out when I first got this phone back around Thanksgiving and I couldn't stand it and wanted back in to Verizon. When I came back in, they activated a new sim using a pixel 2, popped it in my phone and did some configs on their end. You do not need a new sim if your current sim is on a phone that has LTE service with same OS and on Verizon already.

XZ2 Compact T-Mobile

Are there different versions between the UK and US versions aside from firmware? Is the H8324 compatible with T-Mobile USA VoLTE?

I can't speak for the xz2 specifically, but I have ordered more than my share of Sony devices from places like clove, and I've never had an issue where the firmware has disabled bands provided by the hardware. If you're considering ordering one from the UK, the only drawback I am aware of, first hand, is that if you need to replace it or get warranty work done, it has to go back to the UK. You'd better have another phone handy for a few weeks.

To confirm you are getting VoLTE: When you place a call it stays on LTE and doesn't switch to 3g or H+? I haven't been able to get VoLTE working on T-Mobile in the Dallas area. T-Mobile's and Sony's support so far are blaming each other.
I successfully receive data/internet over LTE, but no calls.

HSPA+ is what I get while on a call.
I stand corrected; I never bothered to actually install an app to check, and when I am on a call, the status bar icon doesnt change, making me think I am on LTE..Not that it matters to me either way, but I guess this phone or the carrier is the reason..

You dont need an app. If you are on LTE, make a call and remain on LTE - that is VoLTE.

If you're connected to Wi-Fi when calling it seems to hide the LTE/3G/H+ signal icons so it helps to turn off Wi-Fi when checking.

It matters if you are in an area without a 3g signal, you won't be able to make phone calls. I'm constantly in buildings with weak signal so VoLTE is important to me. I'll have data in those areas but no ability to place or receive calls.

then this might not be the phone for you...

Exactly. I'm going to wait for a few days and see if T-Mobile enables VoLTE on the phone and if not, I'll return it. I have a ticket in with their engineering team to see if they can explain what's wrong.

"Just fine" doesn't cut it unless it is 2012. VoLTE brings higher audio quality, quicker connection times, lower rate of dropped calls, on top of retaining an LTE signal which is very helpful when navigating and on the phone, for example.

I have the Chinese variant on tmobile. I noticed that it seems to block data of certain apps or games sometimes. I often have to turn on a VPN to get it to work. This happened with youtube, Google drive, and a few others. Ive already gone and changed multiple settings to get it to ignore data of almost all apps and to allow them unfettered, then finally to maintain connection when screen is off. It didn't work. I had this issue with the ham2 also blocking a couple apps. Perhaps it is a Chinese government thing.

Reception is excellent. LTe, volte but no wifi calling, it is easy to set up, just go to app gallery download Google play store and use phone clone to transfer file from your old phone. Issues are Google pay and Google map location history doesn't work.

You won't be able to, the phone only has 4/6 of the Tmobile bands, it has some of the LTE bands but not all of them. Unless someone has any other suggestions.

Hey, does anyone here use the Chinese version of the Mate 20x on T-Mobile in the USA?

I do just got it yesterday.

Works great here AL00 on tmo.
Netflix in HD as well

Does the wifi disconnect then reconnect every 15 minutes or so since the last update?

If I'm not mistaken the 20x is missing two bands on the t mobile USA network. Bands 66 and 71. Shouldn't be too much of an issue .

I can confirm that Volte doesn't work on T-Mobile USA on the mate 20x evr-l29.

I'm confused. Why does everyone except for you say Volte works on tmo with this phone?
