....when somebody calls me(with video call) my phone doesn't ring-it only flashes the side lights and the screen lights up-but i can't answer or reject-there's nothing on the screen.When i make a video call-the other side can pick up but it's a regular call(without video) .My "network type" is set to "3G" and HSDPA/HSUPA are enabled.I can't find where is the problem-please help me.
You should say what network you are on. I am on AT&T, for example, and they do not support it. It could be an issue with your provider.
I would be more helpful, but since I can't use video calling I can't give any technical assistance
My service provider is Mtel.I'm sure that they support 3g-because i personally called them to activate the service.So now i'm wondering is there any problem with my phone or is it with the SIM card.
..HELP!..anyone?

AT&T is 3G, but they do NOT do video calling. Contact your provider.
If they do offer video calling it will likely need to be subscribed and paid. The problem is almost undoubtedly not your SIM.
Your dialer on your ROM may not support video calling. If it is not a network thing I would say that is the most likely thing. You could try reverting to standard dialer or trying a new dialer. Also you could try a new ROM that you know supports video calling.
The most likely thing though is that you need to add video calling service to your cell plan.
I've paid and the 3g is activated from my service provider-when i call them for support they say that the problem is not from them-it's all activated.I've updated the firmware to VFE_UK R3AA013 and still no video callig.There 's no 3'rd parity dialer installed.I have "video call" in the menu but still not working.If someone calls me(with a video call)the phone lights just flash and nothing happens-no answer menu, no ringing.
3G is a different service to video calling, you have paid and got 3G but video calling might be extra or not supported.

If someone does'nt hava a 3g pone ang 3g sim card in it you won't be able to have video call each other. It like youi would like to speak with chinese guy but you don't speek chinese
I'm having problems video calling myself. I do have a 3G simcard. T mobile is my network provider. Yet whenever I click on contacts, I see no option for me to video call. I've tried following the manual, but to no avail. Can someone help?
MAKE SURE YOUR SIM IS ACTIVATED FOR THIS SERVICE.If You Dial The Number Using Keypad,youll See A Camera Emblem .touch That And It Should Work...accourding To My Manual
What do you mean when you say 'if you dial the number'? Do you mean your mobile/cell number?
I've done this yet nothing changes and I am in a 3G/ HSPDA area. When I was on T mobile with my Vario II, I had no problem video calling. But then I exchange my phone for an upgade to the Vario III with T mobile, and video calling doesn't work.
Even my manual suggests that the phone is enabled in this way.
the number you want to call too.using keypad instead of from contacts.either way should work though
On Tmobile UK, you cannot send or receive video calls on a PAYG SIM. The limitation is by the network not individual phone settings.
Hello friends,
So I bought an Optimus L90 so that I could talk to my mother who had to go abroad using the Wifi calling feature. This should be simple but it's turned into a nightmare.
I do not have access to the device which of course makes it million times harder so someone else has to do everything for me. This is gonna be painfully slow! Is there an app that could let me control the phone like remote desktop sharing only, the other way around (use PC to access a cellphone?)
So what's the problem you ask? Let me explain.
When we turn on the WiFi calling and try to make a call. The device starts using a local network which basically tells us (in the local language) that you have to use the right area code and what not. Now this doesn't make sense. Why the hell is it hoping on to a local network? If we use a local network, it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg!
So then I asked my brother to use the third option which is:
"Never use Cellular Network:All calls are made over a Wi-Fi network. If there are no available Wi-Fi networks, phone calls will not connect."
In theory this should work by all means BUT, then the phone says "To make calls you have to turn off the airplane mode". The problem here is that the freggin airplane mode is NOT on. So I asked my brother to turn it on and then turn it off to MAKE SURE that it is off. Try the whole thing again and it keeps giving the same error.
So to sum it up.
When using the Wifi Calling Preferred option. It hops on to a local network.
When using the Never use Cellular Network option, it tells us to turn off the airplane mode even though it is not ON to begin with.
What am I missing guys? What the heck am I supposed to do?
I called the T-Mobile technical support department but naturally, there are bunch of idiots who can't even begin to understand a simple problem.
You guys are my last option here. Please, someone help!
My apologies for not having seen this post sooner; otherwise I would have answered it immediately. Wi-Fi calling requires a service provider as it would still use the plan's minutes. The only difference is the signal strength. Instead of relying on the strength of the cellular tower for making the call, it uses the Wi-Fi's router strength to determine how strong a connection it will have.
The only way to make a Wi-Fi call without the use of a mobile service provider would be by using an app such as Skype or Google Voice which still cost pre-paid minutes through those services.
You could browse the app market to see if any offer free VoIP service, but it's unlikely there are any that are free, or will not require mobile service.
As the message is being received in another language, I assume there's a different SIM card in the phone. While abroad with my T-mobile card, all the messages I receive are in English. Wi-Fi calling runs through T-mobile, and I suspect it's not working because of that.
As for the other options, Xanscorp is correct. Your best bet is Skype or Google Voice/Hangouts dialer. I believe calls to the US made through Google are free, however, but it will cost a few cents per minute (varies on the country) to dial anywhere else.
I've made sure that call reject list is set to off. For whatever reason though, when a call comes into my G4, the call app displays for about a second and then it refuses the call automatically causing it to go straight to voicemail. Anybody experience this issue?

I don't have this issue.
1) Is this T-Mobile branded phone?
2) What is the coverage or does this issue occur only in some places?
3) Are the settings correct under "mobile networks"?
4) Is Wifi calling feature is on/off under call settings?

Interesting. I have tested my phone vs 4G and LTE connection, don't have any of your phone issues. Couple of things came to my mind. If your sim card is not fresh, try replacing it or ask a friend if he/she has newer sim card and try to make few calls. Another important thing is VoLTE, it is also in the call options above wifi calling. IF VoLTE is on, try to turn it off and user your phone for a day and see.

I agree with this. I turned off VoLTE and my calling got better.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I tried them all. In the end, I narrowed the issue down to google voice. When I first got my G4 I tried setting google voice to be the primary voicemail service. I'm on a postpaid plan, so there shouldn't have been any issues. Not sure what happened, but it obviously screwed something up. If people call my T-Mobile number directly the call goes through just fine. If they call my GV number, the voicemail picks up just before the first ring on my G4. The caller ID pops up and then disappears as if I touch the decline button. I've tried setting my T-Mobile voice mail back to default and called T-Mobile. The problem is not persistent. It is intermittent.
Has anyone figured out how to get wifi calling working? I've been looking for a third party app that will help, but I'm wondering if I just need to flash the 405UA fw on there. Can anyone tell me if that will work?
I have the same problem/question.
I did end up flashing the Verizon UA version, and at least for that carrier and where I live, wifi calling was lower quality than the carrier's. I know that doesn't really help, but I thought I'd update for you.

Thanks. I think I'd avoid all that as it is not that important to me. Cheers
BTW - for others, I am on ATT (via Red Pocket). R.P. says they support wifi calling and Volte on their GSMA (ATT) network. See here <https://help.redpocket.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022031312-What-is-WiFi-calling-and-can-I-use-it-with-my-Red-Pocket-service->. I had to call them to get wifi calling "enabled". But that still did nothing and in the phone's tech page (using USSD *#*#4636#*#*) it has never shown Volte or wifi calling provisioned.
I found this blog <https://gstylemag.com/2018/10/29/an-unlocked-lg-v40-is-both-amazing-and-not-on-atts-network/> and from the author says it just doesn't work. He also implies that the settings page for wifi calling is dynamically configured and that this item "disappears" when on ATT. So FYI.
Hey
I'm in an unsupported country, and so my warranty is not relevant anyway
I dont care about 5G,and probably not call screening either
Im wondering if its worth rooting the phone just for volte and vowifi, and maybe adaway(although with Vanced and Brave i dont see too many anyway)
So you think it's worth the hassle of the root,magidisk, and manual updating every update for it?
Did you felt like it makes a real difference?
Since volte and vowifi are not only related to the firmware, but also to your provider, it doesn't help to unlock these options, as long as your provider doesn't support it. Sometimes it even depends on your tariff, if volte and vowifi may work. So first get in contact with your provider...
While volte just improves the sound quality of a phone call, vowifi may help you
indoors, where massive concrete walls may lead to the situation of having no signal, while a wifi network is accessible...

Hi
Does services are supported by my provider, its only the licensing issues between the provider and google
Also, does wowifi allows also inbound calls while im out service, or only outbound calls?
Wowifi should work in both directions. I don't understand: Licensing issues between provider and google do not allow volte/vowifi but your provider supports it anyway? So it works on Iphone, but not on Android??

Its works for Samsung and Apple, because the network provider paid them for the license
In Israel, Pixels aren't that common, so its not worth for the carriers to pay the fee to Google
But if we say i have enough coverage, so you think it's worth rooting?
If you've got some experience with flashing, I would recommend to root the phone. I often had the experience of phone calls with low signal, which I found very uncomfortable...
