Does this work? Does anyone know how to enable it?
Great thread. I wonder if we can enable it because it does not work with any custom roms
It's been confirmed working on the pure nexus ROM. Check the development thread
It has not been confirmed working on att. I follow that thread closely. It's is working on Verizon and Tmobile.
I am running pure nexus with att and no volte

My apologies. I must've read it wrong then
Stu, do you have a VoLTE enabled SIM in your 5X? You have to have an account in the HSS and TAS to get an IMS registration...
I really don't know. Is volte working for you on att and the nexus 5? I don't think it can work but I hope I am wrong
Did you just pull the SIM from an existing phone? If so, was it a VoLTE phone? AT&T will only provision the SIM/Account for VoLTE if you have an approved device.
And no, I have not gotten my 5X to do VoLTE yet....working on it.
My friend just got Nexus 6P + new AT&T sim card. We made couple of calls and there is no VoLTE option in the cellular settings, as I have with my 5X on T-Mobile.
Remember that any VoLTE network is *completely* different than the existing CDMA/GSM/UMTS networks that the providers have. VoLTE utilizes an IMS or USP core that the phone has to register on to get VoLTE calls to work. The SIM information has to be defined within this IMS core, otherwise you will only get legacy services.
AT&T will currently only define a SIM for VoLTE is you have a certified device that they sell. But I already have VoLTE phones and am trying to use their SIMs without success. I think the 5X software may not be allowing the IMS registration. If you are on T-Mob I would call them up and see if they will provision your SIM for IMS....they don't seem to care about what phone you use.
This question is for those of you like me that use more than one phone with a single SIM card. Sometime I travel and switch my SIM to another older phone I have around so if I lose phone #2 traveling I still have my newer/better phone. I know I'm not the only one to do this If I put eSIM service on Pixel 2XL, can I put old SIM card in Pixel XL and continue service on that phone while traveling. Is there a way to temporarily disable eSIM?
Hmm, interesting question.
I went with eSIM on my Pixel 2 XL yesterday, allow me a few hours to fire up my Pixel XL (which is currently powered down but still has the physical SIM card in it) and see if the Project Find app can reactivate service on it - and then move service back to the eSIM on the Pixel 2 XL again.

I hope Pixel2 can ultimately support dual SIM (eSIM and physical SIM) simultaneously with eSIM opens up to all carriers (not just Project Fi).

I am in a similar position and asked Project Fi pretty much the saem question. My Pixel XL 2 is on esim now but I want to be able to switch back adn forth from att and project sim (depending on which of my phones I will be using.)
They said that yuo can put an ATT SIM card into the phone, go thru sim setup to activate it - and later take it out and re-establish the ESIM when you wnat to use it on project Fi again. It will just take you back thru the saem setup process you went thru when you initially turned on the ESIM.
Pretty straight forward I think.

Thanks. I removed the fi sim from the XL2 and cleared data and cache in settings/apps/project fi and went back to fi app and set up esim so phone is good now. I need to see what happens when I put old sim into XL, haven't done that yet but I assume when I go into fi app all I have to do is reactivate service on that phone and it will be active (and disconnect service on XL2).
I was wondering the same question
The old physical SIM is now disabled. The eSIM has taken its place. The only way to go back to a physical SIM is getting a new Fi SIM and activating service on that SIM. There is no difference between eSIMs and real SIMS other than the eSIM is virtual and issued 'on the spot' during setup.
If you guys run the Project Fi app for setup, you'll see it's asking if you want to "Move your number to this phone" => transfer main phone to this eSIM an cancel original main SIM OR "use this phone alongside main phone without calls or texts" => make the eSIM be just a data SIM in the account.
In summary, if you are planning of using only the Pixel for Fi alongside some local/USA carrier it makes sense to transfer your main SIM to the eSIM. Otherwise it maybe be better to keep the original regular SIM.
I finally tested this. I had new esim service in new P2XL and old sim in PXL, old sim disconnected of course. Turned off P2XL and booted up PXL, had notification from fi app that service has been disconnected do I want to activate, pressed activate. It took a minute then fi app said do I want to maximize service, I said yes, another minute and I have service. Checked what network I'm on and it says Verizon, that's weird so I make a call and it rings VZW customer service, I hang up. Reboot and it comes up with Sprint this time and service is normal and I can make calls on fi.
I then turned off old phone and turned on new P2XL, it asks me the same exact questions do I want to activate service, I say yes and let it do its thing and reboot and have fi on that phone w/ esim. So for now it looks like we can use old sim in other phones w/ fi but that could change.

This was not my experience:
Powered down Pixel 2 XL, which was activated using eSIM three (3) days ago
Powered up Pixel XL (which I performed a wipe/reset on before I powered it down), which still has the Fi physical SIM in it
Pixel XL booted and tried to auto-activate on Project Fi; hung for a ~three (3) minutes before failing and asking me to hook up to wi-fi & sign in to a Google account
Connected to wi-fi & signed in using the Google account the Project Fi subscription is associated to
Project Fi attempted to activate again; hung for ~three (3) minutes before reporting: "Activate service later. Unfortunately your Project Fi service can't be activated right now. You'll be prompted to activate as soon as you've finished setting up your device."
Completed initial login on Pixel XL; had a Project Fi notification which read "Project Fi not fully activated. Tap to finish activation."
Tapped this notification which took me back to an "Activating..." screen which hung for ~three (3) minutes before failing with the following error: "Contact us. Unfortunately, your Project Fi service can' tbe activated due to an issue with your SIM card. If you need help, call 1-844-TALK-2-FI. Code: T077."
Powered down Pixel XL
Powered up Pixel 2 XL and confirmed Project Fi service was still activated/operational on eSIM.
In short, my experience is that one would need to engage Project Fi Customer Service in order to move from eSIM to physical.

With this phone, and the eSIM, you can switch between physical SIM and the eSIM. I first setup my phone on Sprint, but wanted to try out Project Fi without giving up my existing Sprint plan. It took some work and some calls, but both services are active, and to switch I use the dialer code *#*#switchsim#*#*. There is an option in the settings area, under Mobile Network then Carrier, but it does not seem to work all the time. I'm not planning on keeping this setup long, especially since on Fi I cannot use a Sprint connection, as I was told that my phone is still registered on the Sprint service. When I try to connect to a Sprint tower through Fi, I have no data. So while this is not an actual dual SIM phone, it appears that it can function as such, so long as you use Fi, and the second network is not Sprint or T-Mobile (or US Cellular.)
I don't think this applies to the original post, but I just wanted to share my findings in case can help anyone.
I asked Project Fi support if I could use the e-sim for data only and the sim slot for a call/text.
they said e-sim is only for full service (call,text, data).
Hoping Tmobile will support e-sim soon

So your saying if I popped a Verizon SIM in the physical slot and pushed my personal number to Fi it'd function as a true dual SIM??? That'd be amazing. My current setup Is a OnePlus 3T with my personal ATT and work Verizon SIMs. Verizon doesn't get data cause the 3T is missing Verizon band 13. I still get texts and calls though.

No. It is not possible to have both SIM and eSIM active at the same time, it is one or the other.
You can switch between them at will, but both will not be active simultaneously.

You'd have to ask Google. And I have not seen anything via root to enable it.
Can someone with an Unlocked (that's carrier unlocked, not bootloader unlocked) Pixel XL, (obtained directly through the Google Play Store), please definitively confirm that the Verizon 'Advanced Calling' features of VoLTE (HD Voice) and WiFi Calling are working on your phone? Pixel XL (not XL 2).
Yes

I can confirm that both my Google Edition Pixel and XL devices both work on Verizon's network with no problems utilizing Advanced Calling not Wifi calling. In fact both worked before unlocking my boot loader, well as after. I only needed to enable the options from the devices themselves in settings.
Hi Guys,
Have a P3XL and it works with VoLTE fine with my main carrier - Vodafone Australia.
However, in the coming 12 months, I will be working extensively throughout the Asia Pacific.
I know previously with some Android OEMs, it was basically baked in for that phone/carrier combo, and even if your phone and network potentially supported the service, if you were on the wrong region firmware, you were SOL.
How does the pixel family manage this? Would it detect the sim card that I have and automatically configure the VoLTE if it were supported by that carrier? I know recently, via a tweet from @LlabTooFeR that some people are modifying to gain this, but dont want to resort to this if I dont need to. (Phone is rooted already though haha).

Hi,
I own an Oneplus 7T, which is VoLTE and VoWiFi enabled. Is it possible to make my network carrier believe I'm connecting with another phone model? Like a Xiaomi Redmi 10 for instance. I need my network carrier to stop disabling VoLTE and VoWifi from my subscription. It does so because I own a OP7T.
Here's the whole story...
The OP7T has two SIM slots and they are populated as so:
SIM 1: Orange Telecom (french)
SIM 2: Bouygues Telecom (french)
Orange won't recognize my phone as VoLTE or VoWifi compatible, whereas Bouygues does. I finally got in touch with a skilled employee there who told me that this is Orange's stupid politic to enable VoLTE only on phones they sell at their store! Gosh... There are some Xiaomi, Huawei, and fo course Samsung, Sony... but no Oneplus.
When I put my Orange SIM in a Samsung compatible phone, VoLTE and VoWifi work and remain ON, forever (I tried 3 weeks). If I switch to my OP7T, the VoLTE will work for 2 to 24 hours (very random) and then it turns OFF (only for the Orange SIM).
Ok, but why do I need this VoLTE and VoWifi so bad? Because I bought a Samsung Watch LTE, whose LTE option won't work if my carrier disables the VoLTE option!
=> I configure the Watch on my crappy Samsung phone, in which I've inserted the Orange SIM, and everythings works fine.
=> I put the Orange SIM in my OP7T and the Watch's LTE keeps working some hours (also the VoLTE sign is ON for SIM 1 & 2)
=> When the VoLTE sign disappears on my OP7T, for SIM 1, the Watch's LTE stops working too.
That turns me crazy... and Orange is the only carrier to provide a LTE option for my Watch so... I'm stuck. Of course, I don't want to buy another phone, this one is new
So, any way to fake my device for my carrier? Please...
Thank you!
Edit: my thread has been moved to the OP7T forum, but it does not belong here at all. That's a general Android phone question about chaing the model presented to the carrier. So I guess I'm not going to get any answer here...
nice

volte and wifi calling only work for the sim you have as primary data. just making sure that's not your issue

Hi, thank you for the answer, however both work for both SIMs on my mobile. Also I can have LTE activated on obth SIMs at the same time, and for example keep the LTE data on on SIM2 while having a phone call on SIM1.
My issue is absolutely the one I described, which is that my carrier disable VOLTE when it recognize my mobile as being "incompatible" (so they say)
Something like this?

There's an xposed module which looks like it does what you want

Hello! I realize it's been quite some time since you posted this originally. Did you ever find a solution? I have a similar need for this
Following. I have the exact same problem. Don't have network at home and my carrier doesn't allow wifi calling for my device.
Same here . Trying to find a way around it ...
