Hi guys.
Let me elaborate my question.
1. I am totally aware that VoLTE on Android at the moment generally requires the handset to be from the carrier, or from the same region as the carrier for it to have the correct VoLTE (and VoWIFI) settings.
2. I am also totally aware that since Android 6.0, there actually has been a provision to allow carriers to send carrier settings to the user. I also know that this isnt being widely used.
After my ownership of my Pixel XL, I moved to a HTC U11, which I have flashed a custom ROM. This custom ROM managed to have the carrier settings for VoLTE for my carrier baked in.
I am keen on getting a Pixel XL2, so Im keen to see what the Pixel community is doing to enable VoLTE on networks that arent stocking the Pixel or Pixel XL.
Here in Australia, both generations of the pixel seem like they will be Telstra exclusives. and I am not inclined to go on their network!
Thanks for any assistance!
I use it with T-Mobile, only Verizon stocks it in the States. Volte works fine for me. Nothing i needed to do other than to setup the phone with the Sim card in the device.
Same here, got it with my T-Mobile SIM card.
This worked for me. Go to dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Turn on VoLTE
Turn on Video Calling
Turn on Wi-Fi Calling
Exit
I'm on Oreo 8.1 on my P2 XL, looks like it's already enabled. I'm on AT&T.

Change carrier. AFAIK you'll never get enhanced LTE services using a non-AT&T branded phone on their network. Once I switched my pixel xl to T-Mobile things like that and wifi calling worked fine.
My condolences to your Pixel XL 2. I was in a Verizon store the other day just to check out PXL2. The blue tint when turning the phone horizontally - horrific. Also, barely faster than my Pixel XL, even if you care for that kind of thing (speed.)

Same problem in Argentina, Pixel is NOT SOLD here so.... out of luck, but I tried this (already knew of the menu) and all my options are blacked out -can't enable any of them-, advice?????
Thanks.
If you can get root on your phone, flash magisk and there is a module in there to install that can enable VoLte and Wifi calling, worked for me on AT&T.

the module only changes the settings to allow for toggling but does not provide needed ims libraries.

I had to toggle VoLTE off then on, restart. It's working for me now
"Turn on Video Calling"
Option is disabled, couldn't turn on
Depends if you're on Verizon or straight talk or what. I'm on straight talk and they don't offer VOLTE even though they use Verizon towers.
Using *#*#4636#*#*, the VoLTE provisioned option is greyd out. Anyone has a solution for this?

It means your operator is not offering VoLTE, or, as in my case, Pixel XL is not approved by the operator. I have VoLTE on my SIM enabled and working with operator approved devices but network rejects Pixel as not compatible one.

Operator offers VoLTE and it doesn't filter IMEI like in some cases. Other not approved devices (e.g xiaomi, oneplus) managed to enable volte via shortcuts. I am asking for a similar workaround. --thanks
Of you're on Straight Talk you're SOL. They don't offer it even if you're using a Verizon SIM
If you had geryed provisioning options you need to use magisks voenabler. a did it right now on december pie update. Now I have all enabled. Just waiting for operator to enable volte for my number. I wonder it will active.
Hi, my carrier does support VoLTE but the Pixel is not on its whitelist.
When dialing *#*#4636#*#* and going into phone info, the switches for "VoLTE Provisioned" is off and greyed out, but at the top of this screen I see "Voice Network Type: LTE". Does that mean I am getting VoLTE? I cannot see any other sign or symbol when calling. (I know some devices have a VoLTE symbol either in the status bar or during a call)
hi all, i have a quite peculiar query about VoLTE on my 8 Pro.
i have 8 Pro for about 3 weeks now. i am using Airtel and Jio sims in it. both are 4G enabled. i am able to use Jio VoLTE without any problems since day 1 on this phone. Recently airtel started VoLTE in my region (Chhattisgarh) but i haven't been getting VoLTE option when i selected airtel as default sim for data. but when jio sim was selected as default data sim VoLTE was properly showing. i removed jio sim and tried again with airtel. still no VoLTE. i contacted airtel service center and they informed that it should be available in a day or two. so i waited for few days. meanwhile i saw a list of compatible handsets on airtel's website and there is no Huawei/Honor phone there. there are only handful phones which support airtel VoLTE.
after so many days of airtel launching VoLTE i am still unable to get it on my 8 pro. while looking for the solution i came across this information that airtel has to work with the device manufacturers so that the manufacturer can provide a software patch to enable airtel VoLTE compatibility, which is happening at a very slow rate.
now what i don't understand is that why does a device need a software patch for VoLTE compatibility with a certain specific network when the device is already VoLTE enabled.? i understand it is not specifically related with 8 Pro but i didn't have any other forum to ask this. thank you...

The volte support presently is just for jio. The software has to be updated to support airtel volte and that can only be done when honor releases an update.
Volte enabled handset doesn't mean that it will work for every service provider. There are certain files that needs to be added to the software. The modem files need to be updated.

can you please guide me towards any articles to know more about this?
You will ned updated firmware to support Airtel VoLTE. Besides you won't going to able volte on both sims simultaneously.
For now only two mediatek chipset support dual volte

i am aware that simultaneous 4g/VoLTE on both sims is not possible in most of the SoCs including Kirin 960, and that is not even my requirement. i am just curious to why firmware needs to be updated to support any particular network. if that's the normal behaviour of VoLTE then phone manufacturers should mention which networks are supported for VoLTE in their device specs.

No other careers uses VoLTE other than JIO( and now airtel in some states). That's why they configured it that way. When other career will launch VoLTE manufacturers will set it by default.
It is just like bios in pc motherboards. They update their bios to support new hardware.

that makes no sense whatsoever. if a device is 'xyz service' compatible without any region or network locking then that service should work out of the box. which network is offering which service is irrelevant for device manufacturers. it doesn't make any difference if all the networks provide any particular service or not, manufacturers' configurations ought to remain same.
and your pc motherboard analogy is completely irrelevant as well.

i have contacted Huawei and they have told me that they are currently in testing phase for airtel VoLTE, but that's not the issue at all. i appreciate your efforts but it would had been better if you actually understood what i was trying to ask here. thank you...
A Brief about VoLTE
Hi, so here's the thing. As you would be aware, VoLTE is just that, Voice over LTE. And, there's a reason as to why that terminology is used only for 4g (LTE) & not for 3g or 2g. 2g and 3g were developed with the concept of them being used for voice transmission whereas 4g (LTE) wasn't developed for simultaneous voice transmission. Hence, the term, VoLTE indicating that the voice part is an addition & not an integral part of LTE, bro.
By now, as you would have guessed, since voice is an addition, hence, there are no international standard protocols for it. Each Service Provider has their own protocols. Also, to support VoLTE, the Service Provider has to change its entire infrastructure. Hence, Airtel and Vodafone are rolling it in phases and are unable to do a national rollout.
So, to summarise, different Service Provider.....different protocols and hence, separate firmware and patches. And, to answer your final question regarding support for Jio. It's because at the time of development of most of the phones released in 2017, only data for Jio VoLTE was available and hence, the handsets are arriving with native support of Jio VoLTE
Hope, I have answered your query to your satisfaction
Huawei Honor view 10 is the only Honor device that has support for Airtel voLTE.
This is so sad that the mobile manufacturers take soooo long to work with operator and provide a patch update.
Most of the brands are more concerned about promoting their new mobile models and least concerned about giving updates to exisiting users
Hello,
Anybody else has this problem? All worked fine till the upgrade.
I'm on mintsim and all seems to be well. Volte is on and I just tested WiFi calling which worked fine.
It's the only problem I had after the update on pie.
I used to have volte but now i haven't.
No icon on status bar , first I deactivated the volte from my carrier then I activated again but the problem remains. The support of Nokia have been suggested to
cleared cache on carrier service and made soft reset but nothing done
No problems here, same phone, same network. Ota was sideloaded with no factory reset.
Same here. Same phone, same tmo. I use wifi calling for 99 percent of my calls, and it works just fine for me after sideloading the update.

Thank you - I did a factory reset and the problem was resolved. Seems something wrong went during the upgrade to Android Pie. Despite the fact that phone is not rooted or modified in any way.
Having same problem, Factory reset didnt solve the problem... (done twice now). have 3 of these phones... one has volte and vowifi working after update, 2 = no go. Any thoughts on how I can gets these 2 phones working with all of Tmo's services?
Is there a way to check volte? In settings, it's turned on, but I never see an icon. Should I be seeing an icon?
VoLTE will show up at the top of the screen next to your signal icon. (Or VoWiFi if on a wifi signal that is capable). Mine doesn't show because the phone borked it's update and for some reason wont register to the IMS server now. You can also check if you are provisioned for VoLTE and VoWiFi in the phone status by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting the top "phone information". Furthermore you can check if IMS is registered (required to use either service) by then selecting the three dots in the upper right hand corner and selecting "IMS service status".
If you have both options enabled in the phone settings and the Phone information shows you are provisioned for them, but your IMS is not registered... your November update probably borked as well. (this is the hole I'm currently in)
I might add for those that may not know, if you do not have provisioning, this is the fault (or limitation) of your provider. Consult with them to correct. If you are provisioned however and IMS is not registered, Make sure your APN settings are correct (again to your spec provider). If still unable to get IMS registration, well... welcome aboard!

Same for me (T-Mobile US).
In my case, the phone was updated to Android 9.0, but right after that I sent it to Nokia for repair because of frequent call dropping that was happening with both Android 8.1 and 9.0. I got it back from Nokia with Android 7.1.1 loaded on it (?) and was prompted to update to Android 9.0 and then to the November 2018 security update. Since then I have factory reset the phone twice, but it's not doing IMS registration.

Me too.
So I switched my sim card from slot one to slot two and lo and behold, both VoLTE and VoWIFI are now working. I wonder why? It sucks that you can't use that AND have a microSD card in, but I don't use that much storage so this will work for now ...
I'm having the same problem with AT&T on the TA-1045. Normally I get VoLTE only, but not showing IMS Registered. Just tried moving SIM from slot 1 to slot 2 with no success.

Was looking for VoLTE and found this thread. Yes VoLTE works fine with t-mobile, I tested this week-end while in USA (I'm Canadian). Also to use 2 sim cards AND sdcard you can use an hybrid extender, I am using one and it works perfectly. My Canadian SIM is inside the phone with the SD Card and my other sim (roam mobility, t-mobile,m at&t, etc) is outside and very easy to change.
Hi guys... I am hoping someone can assist. I am struggling to access the volte option on my S20 Ultra.
Going via apps > connections > mobile networks no option is there.
But when using the Samsung Band Selection app and selecting the more network settings option, i am taken to screen with that option.
When i try accessing service mode via *#2683662# it just brings up a blank screen.
Is there anything I can check or do ?
unlocking voi lte
In some cases only the phone company can unlock it. In Australia, if your phone is not locked to one telco, the option does not appear. Telstra automatically enable it, but Optus had to be asked to unlock it from their end. Check with your teco.
Hi,
I bought my S20 Ultra from the online Samsung Store (Europe).
I don't have the VoLTE option in the menus. But I do have the VoLTE connectivity while on calls, no action was needed.
I know that for my provider, VoLTE has to be enabled from the provider's side in case of first activation (new contract with new SIM or passing from non-VoLTE device to a compatible device).
So try making a call if you're still on 4G, then you're OK.
If it doesn't work, try contacting your provider's customer service, maybe it needs an action from their side.
*********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?
