Have finally found the VoLTE settings on the phone but for some reason when I activate it using. *#*#4636#*# it deactivated as soon as I leave the page. Is this because my mobile provider (3 UK) doesn't support it on the Oneplus 3t?

Do you have the volte switch in your settings ?
VoLTE is a feature that is provisioned by your carrier. Most carriers will not provision VoLTE unless they have an open policy (allows all capable devices), or if you are using a carrier-branded phone. For the second option, lots of carriers claim that it is to ensure stability and quality of service, though I suspect that's all BS they spew in an attempt to sell more of their own phones.
Anyhow, try to find out if your carrier provisions VoLTE to unlocked/unbranded phones. If not, activating the VoLTE setting within the phone will not do anything.
I'm in an AT&T HD Voice coverage area.. never been able to use it or even see if it works. The build.prop edits seem to work for some but I've never been able to get it to work at all.. Could be AT&T blocking it of course since I don't have an AT&T device really on any of my 4 lines.. All unlocked non-carrier phones.

No issues at all for me. USA TMO.
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs
It is toggled on under status bar together with VoWifi but no idea how to activate it. I suspect my carrier doesn't allow it yet for this phone.
I seem to now have been able to activate it by *#800# but still no joy. I'm guessing this is due to three blocking it rather than my phone.
I use the VoLTE enabler in Magisk and once I enable and restart I have no issues. Workout it I don't get HD calling and any call I make, my phone drops from LTE to H. I'm on AT&T.
OP3T on Three UK. Been using crDroid Pie recently and i'm now able to make VoLTE calls. It comes and goes though. The options are in Settings and 'Enabled'. Phone Test shows VoLTE Provisioned. VoLTE icon show up in Status Bar.
Most of the time when i make a call i still see the Signal Icon drop from '4G' to 'H', but if i repeat dial a few times it latches on to VoLTE. I'm not sure why the inconsistency, but my 4G reception is weak and prone to disappearing entirely, so maybe that's why.
Three APN settings in ROM are same as always. No special 'ims' APN or settings.
@Eggstones
Edit: The package 'org.codeauora.ims' has been mentioned a few times for throwing up a 'Device is HD capable' Notification. I assume it's updates to this package that have enabled VoLTE?
@Dirk
I can get the volte to work fine but not the WiFi calling. I'd love to get that working ok.

It's working for me. Turned off Mobile, enabled Wifi calling and had no problem making a call. I think the necessary settings have been added to the ims packages that are commonly included in Pie custom ROMs now.
What ROM are you using at the moment?

As i said, it's working on Pie ROMs. It's not going to start working for you unless you update. It's impossible to say if the same will apply when OOS Pie is released. Maybe, maybe not.

Have you used custom ROMs before? Is there something holding you back, or do you just prefer OOS?

No. I have never tried to install one. Not sure how to do it. I'm aware of various guides but haven't taken the plunge. The furthest I got was rooting some old phones.

You wouldn't need to Root. Everything else is a doddle on this phone. You might give it some thought. The obvious thing is to find out what the differences are and weigh up the pro's and cons. If Battery life is your absolute priority then OOS might be better. If wifi calling is your priority then custom ROMs are the answer. Gotta decide where you might gain, and where you might lose out.
If you decide to go for it, this is a good guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
Of course that is for the OP5 so you wouldn't use the software linked in that thread, but the principal is the same. The equivelent software for this phone is available here. The guide gets you through the important steps of unlocking Bootloader and getting TWRP on your phone. Beyond that it's easy as Pie to get a custom ROM on your phone.
Just ask if you need help. I can link you to the files you'd need.
Thank you. I might give it a go later this week
I bought a used t-mobile galaxy s8. The website I used said clean imei and I put my sim in the phone and it worked fine. After taking it home it stopped working. I played around with the settings to get it work and came to find that it works briefly after turning phone off and then back on. After about 10 minutes I can't make call or even perform a speed test via speedtest app. The dialer screen will not even load and remains blank, then no calls incoming or internet. If i restart then it starts again. This made me suspicious and I eventually found the t-mobile imei site which says it has an outstanding balance and may not be able to be used. I just find it weird it works then stops. Is that what is causing it? Will it eventually stop working completely?
call tmobile and describe your issue. they can help or at least tell you what to do.
OP, where did you buy the phone from?
I purchased one from S**p*a and have similar concerns.
I recently had the same issue.
I found out somehow an option was enabled that made it seem like i was network blocked or had a bricked sim card.
Under settings/connections/more connection settings/wifi calling
Make sure the middle option is selected and not "never use cellular network"
For some reason every samsung phone i have owned has enabled this option atleast once during ownership.

Hi! Thanks for reading my problem.
I have a tmobile note 8 that I have successfully switched to verizon firmware according to the guide here. It got the verizon boot logo and bloatware just like vzw phone.
It work perfectly after the switch, 4g lte ,call or text all work.
But it will drop after a while of use. It can be a few hours or few minutes. I cannot receive call, cannot access internet, cannot make call...
If I restart it all will become working again for a while. Any recommendation how to fix it? Thanks again.
I have a note 8 (SM-N950F/DS) for about three weeks now. I am using FP on AT&T network. When I just got it, especially while I was moving in the car or train, it would lost the data connection quite often even though showing full bar signal. I had to put it on air plane mode then switched back to reconnect.
Then after 1-2 weeks of use, the issue went away. I don't know it was due to the latest update (I am on Dec security patch now) or some kind of the phone learning my travel pattern.

Interesting, My phone lost it while I m at work... not even moving
For the longest time I thought was alone here. VZ Wireless Note 8 user here. My signal also just drops out of no where. When I look at my screen the 4G LTE upload up arrow is the only one turning up and down. Sometimes this issue will go away on its own after a few minutes or longer. But, randomly out of nowhere this started to happen. Few weeks now and counting I'm guessing it has something to do with a update that I recently upgraded to. I never had this issue when I first had my phone.....
I also have the problem.. Also Verizon branded Note 8.
I see a global Android update coming to possibly address this
From Android Headlines (AH):
"New Android Update For Galaxy Note 8 Improves LTE Stability"
"The latest Android update for the Galaxy Note 8 was designed to improve the stability of the phablet’s 4G LTE functionality as it specifically addresses a bug that occasionally caused interruptions of such connections, as revealed by a changelog published by Samsung earlier this week. The update appears to be rolling out on a global level, with its distribution officially starting on Wednesday, 15 days after the Seoul-based phone maker launched the latest security patch for the same handset."
Starting this month..
Anyone with ideas how to resolve this in the meantime?
I am still having this problem after oreo update.. I don't think I want samsung anymore..
Ok guys those who have Verizon, go to settings, mobile settings and change network to cdma and reset your settings. Turn off the phone, pop the sim tray out, power up ur phone while sim is out and turn off the phone again, this time push ur sim card in and turn on your phone. It should solve the problem of signal being dropped. Good luck.
Hi dear friends,
I have a Chinese K20 Pro with unlcoked bootloader and running india firmware 10.3.5.0
Previously I had Huawei Mate 10 Pro working with VoLte flawlessly. but my K20 Pro VoLte option was not present in the menu so i searched a little bit and find following code to re enable the option *#*#86583#*#*
After enabling the volte, to be sure that if it really works, i tested avalablity of internet data when i was talking to someone and it was ok.
But from 2 days ago there were several(if not all the time) that when i got a call or when i call someone just seconds after connecting the connection dropped 4g volte icon disappears and mobile signals goes grey with cross icon on it and after just a seconds it turned on again, it was like i pulled out the sim and insert it again.
I have not any problem if i turn off volte option and i was almost sure that the problem is some incompability between my phone and operator volte but i tried something else too, i switched the sim from sim1 to sim2 and with volte on i don't have any problem so i got confused do i have hardware problem?
Any idea?
Same on me, Telenor Bulgaria.

So it worked for you before but now you have the same problem as me? Or you always have the problem?
Also did you have the same situation with the sim slots?(one is ok another not ok)
Yes, it's working fine last week. I will try swaping cards. Maybe it's a software related, updated to last beta from xiaomi.eu on saturday. Problem arrived after that.

Please swap the sim cards and test, it is almost 2 days that volte on sim 2 is working ok.
Edit 1: it is almost 4 days that i use my phone with volte ON using sim 2 no call drop no problem, can anybody confirm the same behaviour?
It was same with me, also Telenor Bulgaria.
I switched to sim 2 after reading here a few days ago and the problem seems to be resolved.
Before I had to restart the phone in about 2 days, because I just stopped hearing the person who calls me. Or switch to 3G. But to use VoLte again I had to restart. It just happened every other day...
Now everything seems to be fine... with that problem.
I still have the problem of not being able to use the Google Assistant to unlock my phone and can't turn on location history on Google maps.
I guess it's because of the Chinese ROM.
Anyway thanks for showing me a way to use VoLte less struggling

Glad that it helped, but it is strange problem
By the way i didn't use chinese rom, i am using indian rom which is almost the same as global rom but the device by default was from china and was running chinese rom, my theory is that devices came from china have some incompability with the bands or volte with other countries...
Volte disappearing and data & voice calls get disconnected.
I bought my k20 pro last month & last week all of a sudden volte got disconnected & appeared again.
Then after few moments my friend called me and all of a sudden call ended & I saw No network on the screen & after a few seconds volte was enabled again automatically.
At , First I thought it was just data or APN problem.
Then the things got worse when I was playing PUBG game and volte disappeared again and same thing happened again and again every 6 to 7 minutes .
I am frustrated of this , can you get me out of this mess , can you tell me what should I do to solve this issue
Thank you

It seems nothing we can do about this, just disabling volte solves the problem.
My guess is that K20 Pro modem is optimized for China's cellphone towers so volte is not quite compatible with other countries. it is just my guess.
Good news across the interwebs.
RCS working on most (if not all) phones on most (if not all) carriers. I'm not taking credit (or blame), but can confirm (supposedly) it works on my 6t on Verizon.
Need to install Google messages beta and carrier services. Need some way to access activities (I used Nova launcher).
Follow tutorial:
https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalP...utorial_enable_rcs_on_any_carrierdevice_with/
Handy informative article:
https://www.pixelspot.net/2019/10/2...-any-carrier-and-device-with-google-messages/
As with everything here, blame the guy in the mirror if it goes wrong.
Edit : As of this morning (November 1st), it's no longer working for me. If I run across a reliable guide to get it working again, I'll update the op, but it shouldn't be surprising that this feature is inconsistent on a beta version of an app.
Edit 2: And just like that, messages updated and it's working again. Gotta love betas.
Not working for me. International version , rooted on latest stable os
It only works on wifi for me.
did not work for me either, additionally, I don't understand the significance of RCS. Why do I want/need it?

Same. Even then, its super finnicky.
Working for me
Worked perfect for me, wifi or cellular.
TMO 6T converted to international, lastest Android 9 release. I don't keep track of the versions anymore. Fully rooted, twrp and magisk, viper too!
Works perfect for me. A bit of thinkering and troubleshooting but got it to work.
RCS think of chat application integrated in your own ecosystem device.
It works for me also oos a10 b1. There's a post from xda about it. I had to do a couple of extra steps to get it working correctly.
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-rcs-google-messages-any-carrier/
The biggest part was to ensure I set the following :
ACS Url
‘http://rcs-acs-prod-us.sandbox.google.com/’
OTP Pattern ‘Your\sMessenger\sverification\scode\sis\sG-(\d{6}).’
Pressing apply after changing OTP Pattern to ‘Your\sMessenger\sverification\scode\sis\sG-(\d{6}) does nothing. Not sure if it even applied. If i go back and try to change it again the field its empty.
Changing ACS Url to ‘http://rcs-acs-prod-us.sandbox.google.com/’ works, or at least the option sticks.
Using dual sim here and sim nr was ported, not sure if it can affect. By default the messages app doesn't read my phone nr correctly due to it being ported.
Tried forcing RCS by setting up the correct nr on messages RCS setting but it just sits in "setting up..." status.
Not sure why this matters at all. If the counter party has not enabled RCS this seems pointless. And since Google can and likely will **** this down in the near future it will not matter. Last but not least, I am not impatient enough to care if my counterparty is typing or had read the messsage. If I need to know I text them "did you see this".if they don't answer then I know they have but don't care. The whole iMessage thing has never done anything for me. The most annoying thing is the absolute neutering of videos the moment there is an iMessage user on a thread.
I have this working on two devices and after some testing I have to say unfortunately it is not working enough for day to day use. The RCS communication does work between the two devices if you are actively having a conversation but if you set them down and then try to message one the message will say sent but not be received on the other device until you pick up the other device and send a message to the sending device, then the message will come through and RCS will be working. Basically it works but it is not working to push the message through when not active. I re-tested using sms and all was good. Anyone else experience this?
Working perfectly on T-Mo USA 6t on Android 10
Remember there is no end-to-end encryption when using this. So don't send anything naughty ?
After some digging on the net I came to the conclusion that (1) this is not yet stable (2) not secure (3) if the other party doesn't have RCS it will not work (4) international version of Oneplus 6T will not work due to 2 SIMS .

International OP6T version, 2 SIMs, working perfectly.
I did this two days ago and it is working on my wife's OP6 and my Tmo converted to international 6T. No issues for me. Testing between my wife and I is working, although we typically use hangouts.
I have noone to RCS with but I want to try it out! Anyone down to text ? Lol
Seems like this "hidden trick" is starting to break on certain devices... including this phone
