Can anyone help me out please
Problem: WiFi calling not working.
I'm currently overseas in the uae right now and will be year for a whole year. I've tried getting my WiFi calling to work on both LP and MM but no luck. I've tried fresh installs, airplane mode toggle, WiFi tether toggle, WiFi toggle and nothing seems to work.
After I finished setting this aosip 6.0 ROM today, I looked at my quick settings and it showed T-Mobile WiFi calling but immediately after that, I had to reboot the device for a layers theme install. After reboot the WiFi calling was gone. I've tried everything I know possible to get it back but no luck.
Anyone ever experience this or can anyone possibly help me out because T-Mobile has already started hitting me for roaming charges.
Please and thank you
My current ROM
wifi calling doesnt matter about your rom, its about your provider. if your provider does not provide wifi calling(like tmobiles wifi calling), then wifi calling will never work.
It's T-Mobile. And I've check with multiple reps who told me that it's active on my account

tmo usa via intermational? i dont know if that would work..
They told me it would. I've spoken to 6 different reps. They all confirmed that WiFi calling as long as it's calling back to the US is free and unlimited

cool, i had no idea.. now i know
try using google voice instead, I know its boot what you asked about but it's what I used and it has nothing to do with the Rom, it's standalone app
I use T-Mobile Wifi calling in Europe back to the US without issue, but I set it up while still in the US.
Since T-Mobile has a *very* nice international roaming data scheme, I suggest you use Google Voice/Hangouts to avoid incurring roaming charges until you get this fixed,
has anyone managed to get wifi calling to work on tmobile on marshmallow? i bought my phone directly from motorola and they claim that is part of the problem but looking at multiple other threads on tmo's support website, that isnt the issue as other people are able to get it to work

No problems using Cataclysm and elementalX kernel, at home it says "wifi calling" on the quick tiles and when on a call. Maybe try a different modem? Or if rooted try a different kernel.

I was able to get it to work by flashing stock "shamu-mra58n-factory-bffc99bb" from Google. I flashed the bootloader, radio and system.
which radio is 27r

I'm running stock MRA58R, no root, fresh from the factory images. T-Mobile WiFi calling works perfectly.
I'm stock rooted, and it works, but I wouldn't say it works well. I even have a CellSpot at home and it's a little wonky. It doesn't seem to hold it's connection (wifi calling connection that is, wifi itself is fine).
I was at a cabin this past weekend where there is no T-Mobile signal and wifi calling didn't work for MMS at all. I was able to send normal SMS texts and stuff, but MMS (group messages) didn't come through at all. I didn't get all the messages until I was back on the interstate on the way back home.
Part of the reason I upgraded to the N6 from the N5 was because of wifi calling and it doesn't work all that well to be honest. I've had many times, even at home (cell spot router), where MMS messages fail to send. Receiving seems to be just fine, but sending seems to be problematic.
I bought my N6 from Amazon back when they were $350 new a month to six weeks ago, whenever that was, so it wasn't from T-Mobile directly, but that's not supposed to matter.

did you get your phone directly from tmo or elsewhere?
ive now tried every different radio without luck, doiuble checked every single setting to ensure everything was appropriate
called tmobile several times - everything is correct on their end
Do you have a E911 address on your T-Mo account? If not, add it to the account, and then try.
What is the exact error message?

i do have it set
"turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call"
is the message
when i try to use wifi calling with airplane mode on and connected to any wireless network
when im on the cellular network, it only uses celluar network, no HD calls and no WIFI calls
WiFi calling is working for me, except whenever its enabled it slows the WiFi way down. I ended up just getting the 4G LTE cellspot for $25 so I have really good Band 4 LTE signal for calls and can keep the WiFi running at full speed.

Are you using the TMO router too? When I asked at the store about the LTE CellSpot, they said I would have to turn in my router, as you can only have one or the other.

I don't have the router. And I do believe you can only use one or the other.
I already have a nice router so that wasn't a problem.
I have been very happy with the LTE cellspot I get full LTE signal in a pretty big house.

Thanks for the quick response! My TMO router was a big improvement to my previous one, and I don't see any slowdown when using WiFi calling with it, so I guess I'll just stick with what I have.

Hi guys,
Seems like a common problem with Xperia phones in that carrier settings on the stock rom the phone ships with doesn't have VOLTE or WIFI Calling enabled so even if your carrier has provisioned it, you can't enable it via *#*#4636#*#*
Does anyone have a fix or something that can be flashed onto the phone to help?

So this is what it is. I imported my Xperia 1 ii from Clove UK and was using it with Verizon didn't get VOLTE and WIFI calling.
I switched to tmobile didn't get VOLTE and WIFI calling, after some research and googling found out that Google Project Fi will give both WIFI calling and VOLTE.
3 days before I ordered my project Fi sim from Google it arrived last night I inserted it into my phone and Voila I get WIFI calling there is a toggle for that and also I am getting VOLTE.
I WAS paying 85 dollars on T-Mobile magenta plus plan on 1 line now I will be paying 80 dollars with Google Fi for 1 line. I am gonna put out a YouTube video tonight for Xperia 1 ii with Google fi.
Umm not everyone wants to switch to Google Fi someone else suggested this but nobody wants to switch lol

I don't know why people don't want to switch, I am talking about single line with taxes included it's 78 dollars for unlimited. Look at Verizon, T-Mobile and att what they are charging for one line. Then only on Fi you get wifi calling and volte with Xperia 1 ii. Those were enough reason for me to switch.
I'm glad it works for you, however, I pay $80 for 3 lines and true unlimited data on Tmobile. Google-Fi makes no sense for me and there are no reports of someone flashing the US firmware to see if it works yet. Some of us are waiting for someone to test it out.

It's just my point of view, even thou Google Fi works on T-Mobile network but there service is just out of this world where ever I have gone with it. No network congestion, Google made Android and they know how to optimize the cellular network.

It'll work. I'd flash the US firmware, but it's still on an old version. I'll flash when I get back stateside at the end of July. VoLTE works on t-mobile as long as you're on US Firmware. Has worked for my XZ3 and 1.
I don't want to switch to Google fi as well.
I attempted to use flash tool to get a customised firmware but was unable to get this working. Have any of you tried the method outlined by Brocnical?
Project Fi is a no go for me as I'm located in Australia.
Keen to get this figured out.

Brand new pixel 5 on Google Fi and I cannot get wifi-calling to work at all. Old phone is a pixel 2 and it would use wifi-calling on every call, and it worked great. I have an absolutely trash cell signal, but a full wifi signal with gigabit internet....
Tried:
* wiping data/cache on google fi and carrier services
* erasing esim and re-activating
* contacted fi support who added me to "wifi calling opt-in program"
Nothing works. Anyone have this working?
EDIT/TL;DR: After about 2 days my wifi-calling suddenly began working. Apparently this may be the norm.

There is definitely and issue with Google Fi and the pix 5. Mine won't use Sprint networks and will only sometimes call on wifi at least I think it is using wifi.
There would be a big wifi symbol right above the phone number if you were using wifi-calling.
EDIT: And you're correct, my pixel 5 also will not join Sprint, it stays on T-mobile. Even using the Sprint Dialer code (*#*#34777#*#*), it gives an error:
Google Fi:
Invalid MCC/MNC: Sprint (310120)
Same exact issue. I have a tread on here that I opened today about it. I've been on with Fi support multiple times. They are working on it at least so they say.

Good to know. There's another thread about it here:
https://support.google.com/fi/thread/79698885?hl=en
On Consumer Cellular, wifi calling worked on my Samsung phones fine, even my wife's 3 year old Samsung. I don't even have that option with the Pixel. It's definitely a phone thing for some.
I'm on Fi with my new P5 and wifi calling works well. I'm in a strong TMO area and get only 5G for cell. I think why you don't see Sprint anymore is because their frequencies and bandwidth are all wrapped up in TMO now. Even my Network cell phone app which always showed both TMO and Spring along with my wifi no longer shows the Sprint network hiding in the background. Fi would do this so it could quickly switch to the stronger signal.

You might be right, but there is strong Sprint coverage at my house and nearly no TMO. Shouldn't it switch to Sprint in that case? Also, if I mount the Fi sim in my Pix 4XL, I do get the Sprint service. It seems from what Fi support is telling me that they are going back to the carrier for answers but I think it is a phone issue. My address shows to be in an "excellent" Google Fi coverage area. I hope they can get it to work, since I love the call forwarding feature.

I'm not sure to be honest. From what I've read about the new TMO 5G, it is not standalone 5G meaning it use some sort of combo between the 2 companies frequencies to create a sort of hybrid 5G. I've read they use the TMO frequencies as the backbone and the Sprint frequencies since they are much higher can carry much more data do all the work. So basically the two companies have combined their networks in certain areas, I live near Chicago and coverage and speed is great. YMMV.
Maybe in other areas where they don't have 5G yet you may still have Sprint 4G access I just know I do not on the Pixel 5. On other Pixels from the 4 on down you may not have this issue because they are not 5G. If you Google "Tmobile 5G technology" it's a good read.
My wifi-calling started working suddenly, about 2 days after activation. I do wonder about the lack of sprint usage though.
Hi, I updated to Android 12 when it was released, and it seems to have broken 5G NSA support on T-Mobile. With non-standalone in my area, I'm able to connect to midband 5G and get excellent data speeds. After the Android 12 update, it seems to prioritize standalone (SA) lowband 5G, which is often even slower than LTE, and I have not once seen it connect to NR NSA. I never encountered this on Android 11, but don't want to reflash my phone just to troubleshoot. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue. Thanks!
what app are you using to get the connection info? i have yet to find a network tools app that handles dual sim phones well. a few apps state android os itself dropped 2 sim support after android 9.

I'm just going into Settings -> About Phone -> SIM Status. It tells me the type of connection for voice and data. If I were on midband, it would show LTE for Voice and NR NSA for data. But it's showing NR SA for both, indicating my phone is on lowband.

ok. i just got a straight talk t-mobile sim activated this morning and i show LTE for voice and NR NSA for data network type. i've done a few speedtests and it's been between 130-150Mb down with 30 Mb up. however, google fi which is same t-mobile tower gets over 200Mb down /30Mb up. so it just appears to me that t-mobile gives a sweeter deal to Fi than to straight talk. but that's just one morning and a couple tests.

Hmm, I'm on a normal T-Mobile plan, but I'm not sure if that would make a difference. Are you on Android 12?
This issue only showed up for me the day I updated my phone. I don't think I dropped it or anything, so I doubt it's something physically wrong with it. But I don't want to unlock the bootloader, wipe my phone, and roll back to Android 11 just for troubleshooting.
Figured out a solution. I stuck in my mom's T-Mobile SIM, which is much older and doesn't support standalone 5G, and it connected to NSA. So it's some software thing where they're heavily prioritizing SA 5G over NSA, even when NSA is available and SA is garbage.

Yes, android 12. As well as a new sim. There was some mention by T-Mobile of having a new sim for the 5G. I have no idea if s new one is required, just that they said it in the materials they sent me that 5G would work best.
I have T-Mobile and am getting great service with 5G where I am. I have just recently got it connected though, and I was already on Android 12 when I had it connected for service. Not sure if that matters though?
I use Mint on T-Mobile towers. I just upgraded to Android 12 OTA, and with the adaptive connectivity setting enabled I see LTE as the mobile voice and the data fluctuates between IWLAN and NR NSA. I have wifi-calling enabled, with mobile network preferred. I didn't pay attention to this status screen in the past, so cannot say if anything changed really...
