Hello, does anyone know if Three's super-voice will work on a Pixel 3 XL purchased from Google directly rather than from Three? Three list the Pixel 3 as supported for VOLTE but they only do the 64gb models and currently have no plans to offer the 128gb which is what I need.
I am hoping that it is not the Three ROM which enables this feature. Would someone be able to confirm please?
Thank you

These days it's not the ROM on the phone which enables these features it's mainly the network. So if the network allows this feature by putting their sim into the phone will give you the option to select this feature. I'm on EE but got an unlocked version pixel 3 XL as soon as I take the SIM out of the phone the feature disappear from the settings.
Not sure this would help but I got my pixel 3 XL from Vodafone directly and WiFi calling and HD calling is working fine. I don't think any pixel phones have a "branded" firmware so these features are baked in. But either way order it online or over the phone and you can test and if it does not work just return the device back under 14 days rule.
Thank you for the information. I hope it is the same on Three as it is on EE for you. Maybe someone on Three can confirm for me before I commit to my purchase ?
It doesn't work with three uk
I'm having to use their three in touch app on the device. I've got pixel 3 XL 64gb version

Really, that is so annoying. I was hoping that as the Pixel 3 is on their list of devices which are supposed to work with Super-Voice then it would work like the others mentioned on here without their own Rom. Have you tried contacting them to ask why it isn't working as the device is listed on their website as supported? Have you checked the VOLTE settings or are they missing in the menu?
yeh, you can test any phone to see if wifi calling is available
switch on airplane mode
switch on wifi
if you can still make calls via the dialer then you have wifi calling, if you can't then you don't
if you try this with pixel 3 xl on three it tells you to turn mobile on
Also noticed though when I did make a call at home yesterday while on 4G it showed HD next to the call timer

I am on 3 UK, bought my 128gb 2XL unlocked from CPW and it does 4g HD calling no problem. WiFi Calling however requires use of the three app.

No sorry I am not referring to using Wifi calling. I know the Three in Touch App will work, what I am referring to is Three's SuperVoice service which allows your phone to make calls using 4G otherwise known as VOLTE.

No WiFi calling does not work with three uk, you must use their outdated app that's not been updated for 2 years.
4G supervoice is different and uses the 4G network and you can tell with the HD symbol that appears you are on their 4G sulervoice.
I have asked three about wifi calling and they reckon they are working with Google to get it working. Tbh it is Three that nerd to sort out their end as it is a common format and configuration.

we know Wi-Fi calling is important, unfortunately the Pixel 3 doesn't support this right now ? we’re working hard with Google to have this sorted asap though so watch this space ? >DD

I can confirm on three UK you 100% get HD calling, but as previously stated you don't get WIFI calling, you need to use the app for that. I can screenshot an HD call icon if you want

Yes please, I would like a screenshot.
I have a Pixel 3 XL and have never seen 4G calling work, I always observe the phone dropping the "4G" and moving to "H / H+" next to the signal strength icon when a call is made.
I do live in a 4G area

As far as I'm aware 4G calling (or '4G supervoice' as they like to call it) only works on band 20 with Three. If you're in an area where there are bands of 3G signal available, it will use them. If you're somewhere where there is only 4G on band 20, then it'll work. - This signal travels further and penetrates buildings better - so is there when other signals aren't.
All the other operators seem to allow 4G calling on all bands of frequency now. Three only allows it on band 20.
I assume at some point they'll roll it out to all their 4G signal.
Was hoping January update may enable Three wifi calling but it has not.
Can confirm that volte is working on three and pixel 3xl.
I've just made a call and it stayed on 4G. First time I'm actually taking notice so not sure if this has always happened or just after January update.
Now we need wifi calling. Who do we approach about this?

VoLTE has been working for a good while now - if not since launch?
I was hoping WiFi calling would appear after the update too. All they've said on that is that they're 'working with Google' to get it out as soon as possible.
I don't see why it's so hard for them, it's on the iPhone, the S8, the S9 and all the other big brand phones they sell.
I want WiFi calling, but I'm not as bothered about it as I was about 4G calling- VoLTE gives me a usable signal at home where there was none before.
I've now seen a couple of calls where "HD" appears in thr phone app next to the call timer.
It appears, to me, to only work on other calls to mobiles in the three network.
So I'm not experiencing a true VoLTE experience as I understood it could be.
It's sad when my wife's phone which is a Huawei P20 pro from the Vodafone network (unlocked) supports WiFi calling on 3 network!
Come on Three/Google.
So I bit the bullet and picked one up. Straight from Samsung Korea.
I was shocked to find that the phone and sms apps were working and I could make calls. Is this function active on any other versions?
I can even uninstall factory apps! Damn, I'm quite unhappy about why we cannot have these options here in Canada.
Have you been able to set up visual voicemail service?
The phone and sms works on my 835, but I cannot setup voicemail service. I believe this has sometime to do with APN type. My provide requires type: Default,mms,supl. These setting cannot manually be set. The closest choice provided for the type is internet +mms + dun. This does not work for me. If you have it work what setting did you use?
Thanks,
Riv
Unfortunately Telus does not currently support Android visual voicemail on all devices.
I am trying to see if they can treat the device as an LTE smartwatch. By that I am referring to call twinning and outbound caller ID (matching my phone number). This would be killer!
I have the same device and it's working perfectly in the US (TMobile) voice and text as well!
Only thing that annoys me is that calling falls back to 3g, I guess that means no VoLte?
I have the international unlocked Note 10+. I need the features that ATT offer, like WIFI Calling, Visual Voicemail and Mobile Hotspot. I flashed the Note to ATT firmware and have all the features but the only feature that worked was the Mobile Hotspot. WiFi calling does not work, as well as visual voicemail.
Someone recommended that I use an old iphone IMEI and "trick" the system, which I did. Now WIFI calling WORKS, AS WELL AS VISUAL VOICEMAIL. But now the Mobile Hotspot doesnt work.
When I call ATT they tell me that i have to have the IMEI for the android phone on my account to get Mobile Hotspot working. When they change it, Mobile Hotspot starts working, but then WIFI calling and Visual Voicemail stops working..
this is driving me crazy. Any ideas?
As far as I know, and from my past with unlocked phones, the carrier native tools don't usually work or work inconsistently. I didn't even have VZW visual voicemail with my unlocked Note 9. I used the Samsung version. Wifi calling never worked, nor did HD video calling. As a matter of fact, I couldn't get my Galaxy Watch LTE to work at all until I switched to a Note 10+ from VZW. Then everything worked - VOLTE, wifi calling, HD voice and video, etc. On the unlocked phone I made a dozen calls to support and they could never get it to work correctly. And it sucks, because I love unlocked phones, as I like the Samsung toolset better than the VZW garbage.

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.
I use TING (a TMO/Verizon MVNO), and upgraded both of my phones to their new "FLEX" plan which came with new "Tmobile X3" sim cards and it pretty much rendered both of my V30 phones useless by removing their VOLTE capabilities despite using stock OREO rom.
They told me that although the V30 is on their "compatibility" list, but don't have entries in TMO's IMS database. Basically, with the new X3 sim installed, I lost all VOLTE/WIFI calling options in my settings, AND I would FREQUENTLY miss phone calls, texts, etc:
"So from what I can find that is a T-Mobile mobile network code aka mnc that is used by dish for their roaming agreement with T-Mobile. It kinda makes sense why volte doesn’t show up as when I went snooping in the log v30 update files to find the ims.apk file it only listed normal T-Mobile and the standard mvno mnc. But didn’t list this or the sprint hybrid T-Mobile mnc. It’s possible there’s an update that can fix this for your device but it appears ting screwed you by moving you to an x3 sim and some other people are having similar issues."
I had these same issues early this year when I manualy upgraded to PIE, but because of the way VOLTE is handled on the US998 I had to downgrade back to OREO to get it back. Well, the new sim removes these options once again, even on OREO.
Anyway, ultimately my fix was to replace both of my V30 units with V35 phones, which work perfectly at this time. It's sad having to stop using two perfectly good phones but it is what it is. Luckily I was able to find them used at good prices, but I felt a need to warn the community here about my experience. The good news is I now have PIE so that's something.
I should warn you the unlock/root method for the V35 is a bit more complicated, but still not all that difficult if you go step by step.

I think you could have gotten VOLTE and VOWIFI to work by following the WTF thread and flashing a non-US998 ROM, no? @ChazzMatt ?
I wonder if this X3 SIM a Ting or T-mobile SIM card? Could this be a Ting-only issue and actual T-mobile SIM card would be fine or other T-Mobile MVNO SIM cards may be fine?
Wow! Interesting.
I've been wondering how the TMO/Sprint merger would play out, and it sounds like they are switching to a new hybrid MNC instead of the old TMO one. And of course Oreo doesn't have that carrier config.
I would think V30 Pie should have it if V35 does. Maybe it doesn't have user interface and must be controlled through Hidden menu. But that's still better than nothing.
Thank you for reporting. You should mention this in @ChazzMatt's ongoing VoLTE thread.
Edit: Chazz mentioned it there

US998 firmware has been open and friendly to T-Mobile. It has all the bands except for LTE band 71 and normally automatically allows VoLTE and VoWi-Fi with T-Mobile SIM card. I remember in another post, and he reiterated it again in this post, that he had to downgrade back to Oreo US998 as Pie US998 wasn't allowing VoLTE and VoWIFI anymore. But then, he uses Ting -- which is a T-Mobile MVNO. No others have mentioned issues like that, so I figured it was just an unusual situation where the MVNO infrastructure isn't communicating properly.
I'm tempted to think that again... unless others with actual T-Mobile SIM card or SIM cards from other T-Mobile MVNOs chime in.
As for other firmware, the AT&T H931 would be compatible with T-Mobile bands as would the Canada H933 -- BUT I don't know if you automatically get T-Mobile VoLTE and VoWi-Fi.

I doubt H931 ROM (AT&T) would give VoLTE on other carriers. And it certainly would not support this new hybrid MNC as we only have a mid-Oreo version of it.
H932 (which my wife uses on Red Pocket AT&T) doesn't allow IMS on other carriers. It has the bands alright and regular voice & LTE, just not VoLTE. I expected to move her to a Red Pocket TMO plan down the road, but if this new hybrid MNC applies to TMO broadly, even H932 may not work long-term. She is on Pie though, so they had a chance to update it.

I'm pretty sure the "X3" SIM card they sent me was a TMobile sim. They also offer a "V1" sim card which is Verizon. They sent me one of those to try as well to try but in all honesty, by the time I ported my number to it to "see" if it would work and if it didn't then I would have to port it back and go through all that hassle.. I did throw the V1 in to see if my VOLTE options appeared.. but they didn't (for what that's worth) so I didn't bother activating it.
I found a couple used V35 ULMs on swappa like new for a really great price so I had to jump on them. I notice my phones now have two APN entries.. one for wireless.dish.com and one for fast.t-mobile.com.
I also received this message from TING, "As for the OS its just a hunch I have as I've noticed some other changes in moving to the X3 that could be related to the difference in IMSI range or the way the SIM is identified by the network. We'll keep digging on our end and if we can find a solution we'll definitely pass it along" of course this was several weeks ago and I've never heard anything since. I would have loved to get my two V30s up and running without playing "phone carrier musical chairs."
At least I'm not sacrificing anything by upgrading to the V35 (other than a little bit of money). I don't regret buying them it just seems so.. wasteful LOL
V35 is an awesome phone in other ways too: 6GB RAM (vs 4GB), SD845 (vs 835). And as discovered by head-fi titan csglinux, its audio output measures significantly better than V30 - while maintaining the DSD and MQA features lost by later LG models. All with the same great form factor as V30.
And now it appears to also have more updated IMS support, which stands to reason.
I kick myself for missing it during the summer 2019 sale when Cricket unloaded AT&T's inventory of unlocked V35 for $150 (as I recall).

I have one, like new in box. The only thing is it's 64GB internal memory. The only 128 V35+ version was sold in Brazil. I was in Brazil for 7 weeks recently and still couldn't find one. Well, not that I had time to look, as we were very busy with other stuff...
But I'm too used to the V30+. My wife uses 64GB V30 and the V35 would be good for her. But I dread the migration.

Yeah that's the thing about V35: Only 64GB. And since it's an A/B device, I assume it has even less available storage than a 64GB V30. I guess if I put all my music files on an SD card it wouldn't be an issue.
I recently switched from Sprint to Mint mobile. I kept the v30+ stock while on sprint and only performed the ls998 to us998 conversion when i ported over. Works like a charm. VoLTE and wifi appear to work just fine for me.

Thank you for reporting!
Can you tell us whether you are seeing the following on your setup (US988 on Mint/TMO):
1) Menus to toggle and configure VoLTE and VoWiFi (WiFi Calling)?
2) Indicator icons on the status bar for VoLTE and VoWiFi?
3) Did you have to use Hidden menu to configure anything?
Thanks again, and in advance!
This is my experience
1) See attached screenshots. I have a persistent notification that i can't seem to hide indicating that calls will be made via wifi when connected to wifi. Also attached are screenshots from inside the phone app's settings.
2) I'm certain I've seen an indicator on top of the phonescreen telling me that an active call was either HD or wifi? For some reason I can't remember. But im certain i saw it.
3) I didn't have to configure anything. I activated over a separate phone with a live representative just to make sure port would go smoothly. No joke, within one minute it was up and running.

Thanks a lot for sharing this!
Good to see that US998 is working well on TMO (Mint in your case).
@islandfever: I'm increasingly thinking the logic is no Statusbar indicator as long as the settings are working, i.e. as long as you can make phone calls. It is still puzzling why the indicator in the Hidden menu didn't work for you.

Right now im using the us99820h rom.
Heres some screenshots of phone use while not on wifi. Theres no notification or status bar icon, but you see it on the dialer button and in an active call on the top left. Pretty sure that means volte is working.
**edit** also - voicemails are not visual voicemail and you have to dial in for them. I believe there is a visual voicemail app that works for tmobile that would also work with mint called "My Visual Voicemail" I haven't installed that yet but might in the future.

@pjsnyc One more question. How does voicemail alert you of a message on Mint? On 20H with Red Pocket and their GSMT SIM i get no notifications . Does it give you a popup or icon in status bar?
