I am 100% sure my service provider supports volte, but i do not find it in my phone. I tried phone setting and pull down menu, but no luck.
Is it the firmware? I have H815 (single SIM)
anyone?
International version doesn't have this option. In fact, I think only the TMO variant has it. Of course, I could be wrong.
Look at the 3rd screen; there is a VoLTE on/off setting

It's there on my H815.

it pops up "not supported".
You're right, 11 months later I now know the Taiwanese H815 doesn't support VoLTE, it's only CSFB per official LG spec:
http://www.lg.com/tw/smart-phones/lg-H815-Leather-Black/technical-specifications
Is there any way this could be turned off?
I would like to disable CSFB, is this a hardware thing that cannot be disabled or can i do some code change in build prop to make this work?
Note: i have already enabled VOLTE and VOWIFI through build prop but still the CSFB takes priority to this.
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
I just wonder if M9 supports VoLTE calling. My carrier told me that HTC M9 will never support this function because I have to have stock rom literally from my Vodafone Czech carrier. But it seems to me that in that case nobody with alternative roms could use this function so my question is..does it support VoLTE if I will root my device and install some patch what I've seen here for volte support or do I have to install another Rom which supports VoLTE or any other ideas? Does my carrier have to really support precisely my model or is it just software issue on my side? I have newest Android 7 stock. Thanks for all replies!
Yes, the M9 absolutely supports VoLTE. Disclaimer: I have one on the desk next to me fully operational on a large carrier in the USA.
Given that, your network and your device work in unison to make the 'magic' work. You'll need an IMS APN programmed in the device, and one in the LTE network that validates the new default (signalling) bearer. My suggestion is to chat with a knowledgeable tech support rep. at your carrier, and be sure to ask if there's extra charge for the VoLTE. Since carriers understand that legacy circuit switched infrastructure has a limited future, they *should* be willing to move all your voice/SMS/MMS over to the IMS/LTE network they've invested in.
Best of luck.

Thanks for detail info. VoLTE is new in our country so I couldn't get any tech info even from my carrier. And I already found out that VoLTE isn't extra charged and even video calls are for the same price so that's great but I have to find precise info about IME apn setting. I hope somebody tell me precise settings. Thanks for info again!
Volte is carrier dependent. Both phones must be capable, both carriers must be capable. The problem is that Volte is not cross carrier at the moment so you and the person you're calling must both be on the SAME carrier, the carrier must be Volte capable, both with Volte compatible phones, both in a 4g signal area.
4g is a data only protocol with voice capabilities "patched" in to it. 4g was NEVER designed to carry voice signals so don't expect carriers to be in a hurry to implement Volte when 5g is just around the corner.
As to the answer to your question. Yes, The m9 is in fact Volte capable so it is purely down to the carrier investing in new technology. Carriers are NOT obliged to roll out Volte in any case. It is purely a case of demand vs supply. We already have a perfectly good 2g-3g infrastructure for voice and data so 4g only offers better data connections depending on signal strength. I think a lot of carriers are going to hold back for a while until the technology becomes proven or more so, an ISO standard is put in place.

Thanks for answer. My carrier already support VoLTE technology and we also have around 95% coverage of LTE infrastructure and I know both must have VoLTE support and LTE connection.
What I am trying to is use this technology if I am able to. My carrier told me it's not possible because my phone is old for it but I've read few articles that it's possible.
What I don't know if I need some option in settings (rom implemented settings) to activate it because I don't have any inside, on the other side when I go to cellular info through *#*#4636#*#* I have info about IMS and also about VoLTE what I can switch off.
So generally is it enough to find out how to setup IMS APN in settings to run VoLTE on my device or do I need also ROM which have implemented in settings VoLTE on/off?
Maybe I just don't get it correctly but I would like to have precise info what I need to get from my carrier to set up IMS APN on my device to run VoLTE if it's possible of course.
Hope it is understandable.
So no need to any special futures implemented in Android. It's enough to set up APN for IMS and LTE bearer.
The only device that needs adjusting for volte is the dev edition, i believe.
Otherwise this device is completely volte compatible. Maybe your carrier representative is confused..

So I finally talked with someone who knows more technical info from my carrier but he told me that it's all about radio bearers, channels of phone (don't know precise terminology) and my phone has to be unlocked for that channel, so it's kind of firmware problem because in our country isn't firmware unlocked for that channels yet. And nobody knows if it will be. Also each carrier has different channel for that and that's why it's incompatible with the same phone from another carrier.
I've seen also some utility to change that radio settings over PC with debugging mode on but don't know more info about it. So I guess I can try this for a last option.
If your phone is locked to carrier and branded then there is a possibility they've switched volte off but if your firmware region is 401 then your carrier rep is talking s**t as all 401 wwe (unbranded) phones are volte ready and it is the carrier who is lacking the technology.

If you have TWRP 3.1.0.0 installed you can flash attached patch via TWRP and check option Settings - Call - VoLTE enable/disable
Make FULL nandroid backup before!!!

Thank you, I don't have for now rooted M9, because I bough it recently and until now I tried to find out all option if it's possible in some way but I'll do it and try it later. Thank you very much for your help!
So I've tried and it doesn't work, no VoLTE , no Wi-Fi calling, so I am not sure what could be wrong. I can see setup in system and it's enabled but none of this works. Is there any log or anything what I can explore why it's not working? My carrier has a app for Wi-Fi calling so I wouldn't need it as a part of system but there could be setup which I need also for VoLTE if I get it right. Or is there any other flashable file for trying?

Actually VoLTE works out-of-the-box with this Vodafone UK rom, but thanks, am using the rom now in India with Reliance Jio.
VoLte And Video Call in Verizon M9
Hi Guys,
i have tried t-mobile rom for volte it worked great. also i notices that if i am changing firmware , volte is not working , as the volte options are still showned, when i get back to t-mobile firmware its worked. so i also searched that t-mobile rom has integrated IR92 lte support for volte, RCS integration and many things. Were i found that Verizon version has Integrated IR94 lte support for voice and video call over lte.
So Can any one help me further for this.

I have an AT&T running latest firmware unlocked rooted s-off the whole nine yards and my VoLTE will not work I can go into *#*#4636#*#* and turn on the provisions for it but when I exit it turns back off I guess I'm going to have to go back stock cause this sux I bet I've missed 15 calls today!
*********UPDATE********** I bought a new sim from straight talk and VOLTE works now! (GSM compatible Straight Talk Sim card) My old sim was from 2014, so it wasn't VOLTE compatible.
I have an ebay zombie LG G710ULM flashed to latest Google Fi Android 9 software, I received an email from Straight Talk (Wal-Mart US cell phone service reseller) telling me that my LG G7 does not support VoLTE and my phone will be unable to receive calls in January 2021.
-Using a network info app, the app is telling me it is connected to T-Mobile towers (so I have a Straight Talk T-Mobile compatible SIM)
-I can't find any options to enable VoLTE in settings, and wifi calling is erroring out
I was wondering if there are ways to get VoLTE and Wifi Calling working (Straight Talk supports it, but not my current ROM/SIM).
I can switch to the following sims supported by Straight Talk.
-AT&T Compatible Sim
-Verizon Compatible Sim? If my phone supports CDMA bands
OTHERWISE MOST OF US WILL HAVE A PAPERWEIGHT IN 2021!!!!!!!!!
Same problem
I'm having the same problem. Any progress on this?
I'd like to know this too. Surprised there is no traffic here with all the knowledgeable people on this forum.
G710EAW here. BTW There was an Android 10 update just two hours ago from Android 9. Someone with an 'EM' phone in another thread said VOWifi is "working now" but how do others know if it's working when January 1st comes around?

If you guys have cross flashed roms, then volte will not work. It doesnt work for any of us who have crossflashed. Whichever model.
You need to be on original software. Looks like some licensing thing that volte requires. They need to provision volte for all the phones. Sounds like they are not interested to provision it for g7. Odd that even EAW model which has original firmware, they sent that mail too....
Sad/Odd to see your carriers are suddenly changing to only Volte.
Is there a way to put it back to original software? I actually don't need it crossflashed to anything because it's a Verizon originally and I would like to use it on that network. Or does it not work that way?

Main issue is that your carriers dont want to provision volte for your G7s. So no guarantee if cross flashing back to original will work.
There is crossflashing guide in guides section with which you can go back to stock firmware. Do this at your own risk.
In our country we have a volte carrier called Jio. They provide an app called jiocall. Using that app you could use their service even if your phone is not volte capable. You will have to see if there are such apps for your carrier. Thats the only non technical, simpler solution.
I have some information that might make all of you guys happy.
I was told by Safelink Wireless that VOTLE is a function of BOTH the phone *AND* the sim card.
Basically, if the phone itself is VOLTE compatible but the sim card is not, then the phone will be reported on their system as not compatible, and will ask you to upgrade your phone.
However if a VOLTE compatible SIM is inserted, if the phone does in fact support VOLTE, it will then work. That's because it's provisioned on the carrier via the sim card itself.
If you purchased a sim via the "Buy your own sim" package, e.g. online or from Best Buy, etc, awhile ago, then that sim is not compatible. You simply need to call Tracphone/Safelink and ask to buy a VOLTE compatible SIM (which costs 99 cents). Then when you get it, call their tech department to have them transfer the phone service and phone number to the new SIM.
You can dial the phone's service menu and go to the VOLTE/GPRI menu and if the options are there, then the phone supports it.
What's the correct service menu number for our phones?

Update, I recently bought a new sim and I have VOLTE right now on ULM android 9 latest security fix LG G7 image, running on Straight Talk.
took a while to understand lgup but my 710 oulm had a type oreo that the guy said couldnt be but i crossed flashed it to 10 i dont see the rom anymore and i hope i put it on another drive it was a canadian rom for android 10 works great otherwise im looking to get volte active in the *#*#4636#*#* phone menu you can see "provision for the setting under the radio on off but its a grey area the buttons dont work could be good could be bad its definately part of 10 but ?? grey areas preferred network could be sketchy to play with the phone initially on transition had incredible link up speed now its giving me a pain because assume i played with the connection preferences tab and its a registration error like dum just use the assigned sim guys and stop trying to mac or identify with every device anyway its the registration of a telephone number robo heads
Does Moto G8 support carrier aggregation? LTE-A? Can anyone confirm or deny this? I have seen conflicting information. What LTE category does this device support? Only Cat 4?
There is only way check via modem log but Motorola doesn't provide any non-root method. If you have rooted device, you can take log with Qualcomm diag method https://cacombos.com/contribute
Thanks for the answer, unfortunately my phone is not root. For now I have no plans to change this (for warranty).
I asked because I saw conflicting information. Some reviews say that we have LTE Cat 13/5 (400Mbps / 75Mbps (Notebookcheck), others talk about cat 12 (600Mbps / 100Mbps), and on the Motorola forum I only found information about cat 4.
Tried checking with NetMonster and sometimes saw aggregations of the two bands (2600 + 800Mhz for example) but the program only showed LTE and not LTE-A. And aggregation disappeared when data was turned on (maybe it's my carrier fault?). I've never seen an LTE+ icon. I also know that this application can show nonsense.
That's why I wanted to ask, because maybe he has already checked it?
Then i don't know any other way to verify Carrier Aggregation support from your device. Not every device show 4G+/LTE+ icon - some maybe show fake icons also.
CAT13 is 2 Carrier Aggregation with 256QAM (Theory up to 400Mbps)
CAT12 is 3 Carrier Aggregation with 256QAM (Theory up to 600Mbps)
NetMonster is not reliable way - I think best way is via modem log. There is instructions https://cacombos.com/contribute but for Motorola there is no non-root method to verify.
--
There could have also multiple different models so please share your device model number. It's in Settings -> About so then if someone else share more details or log then it's important verify device have same model number.
Thanks for the answer. Yes, I know Netmonster can be wrong. In that case, I am waiting for the answer of someone who checked the method described by you. My model is XT2045-2.
Hello, could anyone please give a method to enable VoLTE on the G7TM? Mine has stopped working on my AT&T MVNO carrier and I want to keep using it! It seems to be hidden in the menus. I tried going into the universal enabler in the service menu but it didn't give the VoLTE option in the settings, the youtube video I was following was showing a standard OS G7 I believe and not a T-Mobile variant. Thanks for any help,
