Is there a way on this device to have a custom android M rom (any one) and retain things like band 12, VoLTE, wifi calling and potentially even some of the other T-Mobile features like video call?

After the marshmallow update at&t mobiles can make video calls and wifi calls, but i need to know whether there's a way for the people who are using at&t unlocked s5 to enable those two features.
I would think that the feature would probably only be available as a feature for the AT&T version being used on their networks. You may have to try going with a third party option or looking to see if anyone has an APK out there that you might be able to use if you're on AT&T's network.
please help me for enabling volte, I have reliance jio sim (INDIA), I installed jaguar rom even though call is not going .

There are several factors that may affect Volte:
1. Your provider may have restricted Volte only to their own devices
2. The frequency they use volte on may not be supported by the phone
3. You may require IMS credentials from your carrier
4. Your device may require modem upgrade, which is not available.
Look at Volte discussion on Z2-Z3 threads. You may need to install LP stock firmware and use a special app to select Volte modem that is already in baseband, but not activated and then return to Jaguar.
All I have said in my thread is that Volte is supported on Android side...

1. its not applicable for jio jio sim not device restricted.
2. Jio Supported LTE bands Available In C6903 So it also not.
3. Its also not coz jio open for all no need any credentials just insert sim in any phone.
I think 4th is possiblility of jio not working. hardware wise Xperia Z1 supports VOLTE so i thik its needed modem patch also. any idea? Its possible coz we are using international Phone?

Hey , does the Jio4GVoice app work for you cuz for me the call cuts out just as soon as I make it. Also what kinda speeds do you get?? I get around 150-250kBps...barely-- LTE ought to be faster.

You can only have high definition calls when both devices have a working Volte. If the other phone doesn't have it (which about 95% don't), you are limited by the quality coming from the other phone. In other words, the channel you are on is wide enough for HD, but if no HD is coming from another phone, there is no Volte quality. It is going to take years and new devices for this to work...

Bro, you don't seem to understand the situation with Reliance Jio; its a brand new 4G ONLY carrier with NO 3G/2G fallback. Which means that if your phone doesn't have VoLTE then you can't make a phone call. To circumvent this problem , Jio made an app - Jio4GVoice , which lets you make calls and send messages even if you don't have VoLTE . But that app isn't working for me. I just wanted to know if this is a common problem with the Z1.
P.S: can someone confirm that band 40 works if I unlock it using olokos' method?

Try to see if the app can be configured. If you can place a call and then it cuts off once the other party picks up, you may not have enabled the correct codec.
In my view, having a Volte only network is stupid. The company probably is cutting corners to save money. Also, check LTE speed, I bet you are not going to have high speed at all. I have read Reliance's website: looks like too much hype...
Edit: Again, the only benefit of having Volte is high definition audio and video. And neither would work unless both phones are Volte and on the same network. If you don't have that, you have no benefit of Volte. Here is the same from the Indian Express::
"HD Calling is being touted as a major feature of the VoLTE saga, but there is a caveat. Calls are in HD only if the parties engaged in a phone call are both on Reliance’s Jio network The call has to originate and terminate on a VoLTE enabled handset. You can still make and receive calls from other networks, but they won’t be in the higher quality standard that you can expect from a VoLTE call."

No , the app doesn't have much config options .
Sometimes , the phone I call rings half a second and then cuts out other times it just cuts out out without anything.
I've tried it and volte doesn't work on jaguar ROM. Any ideas??
Your right though the avg DL speed is around 200kBps where I live which ain't nothing to write home about for an LTE network . Then again our Z1 doesn't support band 40 out of the box and that's supposed to be jio's high speed band. But jio is totally free till Dec 31st and well voice calls are free forever. So being able to make a phone call with this sim is kinda important

Volte is a sip call, which requires 1 mb to connect and 3-4 mb for a reasonable quality. 200 kbps, which is gprs, is simply not enough to carry voice.

Hmm ... Maybe that's the reason . But my friends have no problem with that app. That's why I need to know if this is a Z1 specific problem.
Oh and I'd like to point out that its actually 200kBps.
My phone: Samsung Unlocked variant running on AT&T
Using a dialer code I've found an app "Testing" that shows options to enable the VoLTE, Video Calling, WiFi Calling & I'm able to pick network type (GSM, UTMS, LTE, ect.) Some options work and some don't. Maybe somebody smarter than me can look into this and possibly enable 4G LTE on AT&T, as well as the other features?
Code: *#*#4636#*#*
Awesome..thanks
have you tried calling at&t and asked about adding your imei for them to enable those on your device.
Thats what i have read online that tech support from at&t can make this service works with unlocked note 8.
Im still waiting for my Unlocked Note 8 and wondering how to enable Volte (HD voice). i dont use wifi calling that much though.

Changing networks does change my connection from 3G to HSPAP to no connection, depending on the option. The VoLTE, Video Calling & WiFi calling are temporarily enabled but then turn back off. Likely provisioning issue but that's all i can tell.

I have and they advised there's no issue. They can't seem to figure it out but I've spent several hours and multiple calls trying to determine if it's an issue or the way things will be.
The only interesting thing they advised of that there's no device description on my account. (Typically it'll at least say Samsung Note8 got example but they see nothing) IMEI and SIM were updated upon activation.
unless something has changed recently, you have to have an ATT phone for all of these features to work. i can only get HDVoice (VoLTE) working on my Note Fan Edition and my wife's S8+, both of which are Exynos devices. I had to call ATT and (a) have them assign the IMEI of an ATT phone (S7 Edge and S7 Edge +) to each account and (b) by flashing an ATT CSC (from a Snapdragon ATT S8+) to the Note Fan Edition and the S8+. The ATT CSC's enable options for Wifi calling and video calling, but these features aren't working on either phone.
Hows your data speed? Do you get 4G LTE speed data?
coz you said your connection is going from 3G to HSPA+

I average just under 5 Mb/s (Megabits, not megabytes which is about .5 MB/s) on H+ Latest test was 4.6 Mb/s
I do not get LTE, but am in a heavy LTE area (Phoenix, AZ) and get solid consistent LTE on my Note 5

WOW thats totally sucks! Im now worried about my preorder.
I might have to cancel my order from samsung and get an At&t brand note 8. I hope this is only a temporary problem with unlocked note users.
Thanks for all the info! good luck on getting all those at&t services.

I have an unlocked note 8 with an AT&T sim. I get great LTE speeds. In the city I get 100 plus Mbs at home or in the country I still get about 20 with only 2 bars of LTE i am only missing VoLTE and wifi calling
I'm hoping it's a setting issue on their end or something. I'm continuing to find a knowledgeable AT&T rep with some info. Good to know the unlocked version gets good LTE speeds. I'll get a new SIM and continue to look for a resolution. Worst case I'll flash radios as that looks like it's a developing option.
I gave up trying to jump through hoops to get WiFi calling and VoLTE and just bought the dang AT&T version when I preordered... If someone could come up with an easy way to get it all with an unlocked version...I'd be tempted to jump on it but until then, I'm stuck with the AT&T load.

That I wanted to be able to use wifi calling and it doesn't work. The went through and made sure all features were enabled.
I have spoken with multiple AT&T reps and after speaking with someone ('ha-seen' is how it sounded) who said that they were with the Level 3 team I was told that video and wifi calling are all proprietary to AT&T and that you have to have a branded phone with their build and that the unlocked version would not have access to this.

I got the same answer. I am calling and complaining to Samsung, I mean I pay to use the AT&T network and the features and the phone is capable of both volte and wifi calling there should be an easy way to fix this.
Just picked up the Note 8 U1 for use on AT&T, switching from a S8+ that was AT&T unlocked. I don't use WiFi calling, advanced messaging was cool but not having it won't hurt, I think. VOLTE is the big question, I know it's voice over LTE but how will that effect me talking and surfing the web at the same time?

Is my phone using 100% of t-mobile network features? If not, is it possible to get them? When I put my SIM in it said it was configuring for t-mobile.
You shouldn't be missing anything. I have a 950U1 as well and get my mobile hotspot, VoLTE, and WiFi Calling just fine.
I think the only thing missing is built in Digits.

Do you have VoLTE or wifi calling? Both are standard (should be, anyways) with any S7 or S8 on the UnCarrier (yes - Note8 too); I have both on my ex-VZW S7 running Project L V.4 (which is now on the UnCarrier). Project L is based on the G950 (S8) firmware, so you should lack neither feature.

On my T-Mobile S8 that I have flashed with the SM-G950U1 firmware, I have WiFi calling but I do not see any options in my call settings for VoLTE and the built in Digits function is missing. On previous phones I had to turn VoLTE off because of calls droping, so I am not missing much. and VoLTE.
Edit: It does have VoLTE. The setting have been moved to the "Mobile Networks" setting area.
Anyone have wifi calling working on any of the UK networks?
Same here , anybody managed to enable it?
we need to wait for xiaomi to bring the *#*#869434#*#* switch to android one i think.
was added on miui 10.2 but the android one is still based on 10.0...
If your carrier or phone doesn’t technically support Wi-Fi Calling natively doesn’t mean you can’t use another form of the feature if you’d like. There are plenty of apps out there that will let you make calls.
