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.

Does wifi calling work?
An update on this matter...
As far as I can tell Huawei has been fixing one of their shortcomings and allowing VoLTE support on many more carriers despite the phone being the wrong reason.
I've heard from a reliable source that, although I didn't think it was true, indeed VoLTE works on T-Mobile US.
Note that this may or may not depend on the version/branding of the P20 Pro.
Wifi calling does not and has never worked on T-Mobile US with Huawei phones unfortunately.

Can you try this please?
1. Turn WiFi off.
2. Make sure 4G symbol is showing on your cellular bars at the top of the screen.
3. Make a phone call. You can even call 611 for T-MO customer service, and make sure that 4G symbol still remains while on the call and that it does not change to 3G or anything else? And if you can post a screenshot, it would be much appreciated.
Are you using the CLT-L29 and what region? European or Latin American version?

Correct it's the dual sim CLT-L29 Build Number is clt l29 8.1.0.106(c636)
That method of testing would be a step backward. I have already confirmed I am calling over Band 12. VOLTE is working, atleast for me on T-Mobile. I wasn't expecting it to from reviews but it was a nice surprise.

A workaround to get WiFi calling is to download T-Mobile Digits from play store and you can use the app to make wifi calls. You may need to sign up for T-MOBILE Digits. I'm not sure. I was a beta tester for Digits and they since let me keep the service for free on 3 devices.

I've been using google voice / hangouts dialer (or whatever they want to call it this month) for a few years now. I hardly ever use T-mobile for calls, works out well when you want an international phone. Less reliance on the network features.
Out of curiosity do you remember if T-Mobile digits worked for incoming calls as well?

Yes it does work. And the fact that you can mimic one number or multiple numbers as many times as you'd like on multiple devices is pretty cool.
brother phone NEO-L29 Mate RS dual sim with sim t-mobile.pl i have options to VoLTE and WIFI calling
VoLTE definitely works and Wificalling menu is hidden. Don't think it works, yet but that might change at some point. Use a program like quickshortcutmaker and search for calling. The last option seems to be for att and the second from bottom is TMobile.

I believe that's because you are using an international phone in an international country on an international version of T-MO.
We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Xiaomi Mi Max 3's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
Not so good, my first day out of the house with the phone and it dropped T-Mobile service twice while I was on a call.

If you like you can use Network Signal Guru and measure and take screenshots and post here to give some actual data if its good or bad.
Which bands are used when and how long and when a call cuts out.
And when its very good to give a comparison when the phone performs very well and when not so good.
However Network Signal Guru requires root permissions
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qtrun.QuickTest
Some alternative apps are
CellMapper
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Network Cell Info Lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite
SignalCheck Pro
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalcheck
I don't have root yet however I do have the so called global firmware. Maybe that's the source if it is indeed a fake ROM.
So I just noticed something. When I make/receive a call I immediately drop LTE. Once the call ends it's restored. I have to assume the phone is not capable of voice over LTE or I need to find a toggle.

I know as I stated in the original post the phone must not be compatible with Volte as there is no toggle. Additionally it's dropping to edge instead of 3G whenever I receive a call
---sorry wrong info-not verified
I am on AT&T and have been hoping you posted an update to your initial findings.
So text,calls are working as intended now ?
Appreciate the info so far.
mac231us said:
anyone having issues with simply making calls, sending sms and accessing the internet? anything in the *#*#64663*#* phone service mode - phone seems to want to always sit in TD-SCDMA/LTE mode instead of LTE/UMTS mode. Always reverts to it. Not sure if that is the issue. HORRIBLE experience with this device so far. Right off the bat when I got it, it was doing sms sending (forever in sending mode until failed or sms would come in after like 15-20 mins and only after a reboot) Incoming sms no issues. Message center is ok. Then data was an issue. Switching SIM seemed to fix one first call then the 2nd call would just sit in dialing mode forever and ultimately hang up. Garbage device (so far) unless it is some simple fix. This is on ATT.
EDIT finally managed to fix the issues
fastboot mode
erase cacne this went through
erase data did not work
then did factory reset through the recovery mode
booted it up
inserted sim...everything works now (for the first time)
bootloader was unlocked by the vendor/someone upstream prior to shipping
very fast...even on 4g
lte comes on selectively so far only seen band 5 (no band 4)
EDIT2
So while mui is pretty slick and the phone is easy to use, fast, great on battery it still suffers from a Xiaomi-related bug (will call it that) in call-forwarding. You cannot set call forwarding (of if previously set - when the sim is in another device, of course), the call forwarding cannot be disabled (SIM error) This has been an issue for years - yes like since 2014-15...since the user base is mostly overseas, you can see complaints but no real resolution (useless feedback from thread owners etc who talk about contacting the operator, removing sim card etc) This does not exist on Huawei, Oppo etc phones (having used them) Even some miui ports suffer from this on other devices (so it seems very likely an MIUI issue) I have an old Samsung Mega that has the same issue on a ported MIUI for it. The Mi Mix I had a few months back had the same issue. No one ever fixes this.

Everything is fine except Calls. I've been told my phone rings once then goes to voicemail and occasionally I will connect to another party but we can't hear each other. Phone calls work less than 2 out of 5 times. Text is flawless, data works great with the exception of slow handover when switching from wifi to LTE.

Are you getting Band 4 LTE on Tmobile? Also, how about 3G/HSPA? I believe it supports Band 2 for those, right?
Band 4 LTE is rock solid everywhere however I cannot connect to 3G anywhere. That's why I had issues with calls before I activated VoLTE. I'm not sure if it's the phones band capability or something else but even forcing 3G nets me 2G edge. Thankfully I don't need it.
Hi all,
I'm currently running LineageOS 16.0 on my OnePlus 3T on the Three UK network and was wondering if anyone out there has managed to get native WiFi calling working in a setup like this?
I get zero mobile reception at my work so for over a year now have been using the Three inTouch WiFi calling app which has been pretty good, however last week I received a message saying that due to upcoming network upgrades Three will be retiring the app in a month or two so I now would like to be able to use Android's native WiFi calling if this is at all possible.
Three's website says that WiFi calling is only supported on Android on handsets purchased from them on contract, however I'm a SIM-only customer. I've got the latest OxygenOS modem firmware etc. installed as far as I'm aware, so was wondering if any of you clever people here on XDA have managed to find any unofficial ways of getting the native WiFi calling working for any old network?

Wifi calling is working out of the box for me. VoLTE too*. (LOS+3+SIM only+OP3/T) Been working with that setup since the beginning of LOS16.
*With 3 you'll only connect to VoLTE when 3G is unavailable as they prioritise in that order. For some reason they don't like people to use 'Super Voice', even though they advertise it as a feature. There's a big thread on the Digital Spy forum covering 3 and 4G in the UK that you might find useful.
Edit: Try the field test number. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in the Dialer. Is Wifi Calling 'Provisioned'. See my own screenshot:
On my stock op3t there is no WiFi calling toggle to switch on. That probably explains why I don't have it despite being able to switch it on under enhanced communications under sim settings.
Is there a way to activate it? The volte calling I got by doing a code thing.

Yes the "Wi-Fi Calling provisioned" toggle is on.
I've just upgraded to the latest LOS 16.0 nightly (2019-05-02) but still no sign of the native Wi-Fi calling working.
You said you've had it working since the start of LOS 16.0. I upgraded to 16.0 over-the-top directly from 15.1, do you think that could have anything to do with it?
Are there any settings in the SIM itself which could be needed to enable Wi-Fi calling? I think my SIM is a good 3 years old or so, would swapping it for a newer one be any use do you think?

Saw something about a volte wowifi module on one of the android ten ROMs but not sure if it just enabled volte. Thing it was the havoc ROM

OcUK. User name looks familiar.
We're having this conversation in multiple threads.
VoWifi does NOT work, despite any previous assertions to the contrary. As i mentioned, it was flawed testing methodology.
VoLTE does work, but with Three network restrictions. i.e only when there is no normal 4G (1800Mhz) or 3G available. VoLTE is only carried on the 800Mhz band, which is prioritised lowest.
There are two very long Three 4G threads on the Digital Spy forums. Worth reading if you want the long version of what i have stated above.
Edit: Just a suggestion. Try this app so that you can monitor what Bands you are connecting to at any given time:

What you need for VoLTE to work is Band 20. (800Mhz)

I posted the link here as I thought it was more relevant here.
The app is telling me I have band 20 so volte should be achievable but doesn't seem to be working on lineage (worked fine on OOS 9.0.6)

To save time can you post a screenshot with the App displaying that information?
'Connected to Band 20' is what we're looking for, rather than 'is available'.

I'm guessing this is the screen you want.
I also installed VOenabler v1.7 which seems to have restored volte. I haven't seen the volte icon but I'm still at home.
Edit: I installed the module before installing the bandwidth app.

It looks like you have Wifi turned on in those screenshots. If you turn it off you should be able to make a VoLTE call. At least it looks like you should.
So has 3G always been bad where you are? I assume you don't have 3G or normal 4G reception at all? (Bands 1 & 3)
I almost always connect to one of those two in my area, although where i am now it looks like some neighbouring towers do carry Band 20. I just need to destroy the other towers to connect to it!

It's abysmal. I'm in a Victorian basement. The only reason I went with three was the WiFi calling app.
Have left the house now for some air and now I band 1 so I'm guessing I'm connected to a different tower.

So what you're seeing is evidence of Three de-prioritising Band 20. As 800Mhz has better building penetration it's all you're getting while inside. When you step outside you begin to pick up the other Bands which you are immediately switched to, whether you lke it or not.
I only latch on to Band 20 once in a Blue Moon. The coverage of the other Bands is almost total so i don't stand a chance!
VoWifi is another matter altogether. If it could work with the 'intouch' app there must be something in the app that could be added to our ROMs natively. That's my logic anyway. (Also support is added to phones bought from Three using their official ROMs, so the same logic applies).

I thought newer phones had WiFi calling by default and didn't need to rely on the carrier.
That's a very good shout but way beyond my skills. Maybe it can be suggested?

This is the official word from Three:
http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Three_inTouch
They say 'update' which suggests that people who bought phones on contract might have received an OTA which enabled VoWifi. How much would we love to get a copy of that OTA zip!

I have an SM-N960U from T-Mobile, flashed with the US Unlocked SM-N960U1 firmware that I am running on Verizon. The vendor agnostic firmware does not have all of the screens the carrier-specific screens do, so it's not straightforward to determine what is and isn't working. If I go into Airplane Mode, and turn on Wi-Fi, I cannot call, so we know Wi-Fi Calling doesn't work. However, whether or not Wi-Fi calling works, has zero to do whether or not VoLTE/HD Voice is working. Wi-Fi calling is not a cellular technology, it is VOIP and requires the wireless carrier to also become a VOIP provider, which requires a "home" address of the device for 911 purposes. There certainly is no technical relationship between the two, and it is a service independent of wireless communications. For a wireless provider, the VoWiFi part is working with the phone to switch the data stream, depending on the signal availability, without dropping the call. VoLTE also has nothing to do with whether or not the calling party has VoLTE. All one could say is if the calling party has digital voice of some kind, such as VoLTE, VOIP, or T1, that the call will be clearer because data put into the VOIP packets would be better.
I came up with an idea and found an app called "Force 4G LTE" to prove whether or not VoLTE is active. After installing "Force 4G LTE", besides showing everything about the phone, its displays bands, and signal strength, it also displays menus used by some of the carriers that showed a toggles for Mobile Mobile Radio Power, and VoLTE, Video Calling, and Wi-Fi Calling were all toggled on as provisioned. When I clicked on Advanced, the missing Mobile Networks menu shows up with a toggle for turning VoLTE Calls, which was toggled on. It did not display a Wi-Fi Calling menu. What I didn't expect is the "Force 4G LTE" app enabled me to force any protocol I choose, not just LTE. I forced LTE, and unlike with Wi-Fi calling, it worked.

However, whether or not Wi-Fi calling works, has zero to do whether or not VoLTE/HD Voice is working. Wi-Fi Calling uses VoWiFi, which is VOIP/SIP, and operates under an entirely different set of rules that was around before cell phones had the ability to participate. VOIP might not even use the same voice encoding protocols. The best you could say is, if you have Wi-Fi calling, the odds of you also having VoLTE are greater. There certainly is no technical relationship. VoLTE has nothing to do with whether or not the calling party has VoLTE. All one could say is if the calling party has digital voice of some kind, such as VoLTE, VOIP, or T1, that the call would be clearer because the VOIP used to transmit their call between their provider and yours had better data to work with.

So I had a few misunderstandings from reading your post. It's most likely me! If you are referring to just having Voice over IP/Data connection, yes it will work no matter what for you as long as you have a data connection.
If you are meaning True VoLTE, then both parties have to have the feature running and functioning. Unfortunately there's no way to know if VoLTE is truly on unless you run a line interceptor or trace from the carrier for two known calls that are currently connected and active. That would be illegal either way. I wouldn't recommend trusting the HD icon that shows when you're connected on a call because we have tested it at work and found that even when on Edge(yeah it still exists), it still said HD even though the quality was trash.
Just my 2 cents from my limited knowledge of working in telecom for a short stint. I still do but not as in depth.
The other thing about VoLTE is it's pretty much just voip but the protocols are indeed different. I use a grenade to fish, you use a net, end of the day, we still fishin. ??*??

A man after my own heart. Grandpa used to fish with grenades. I couldn't get my hands on them, so I made spear guns or water proof fuses and pipe bombs. Who cares whether or not the fish are hungry. :laugh:
apart from the logo in the status bar near the time(that you may or may not see depending on csc setting file) and the branding when u get lr make a call,has an HD logo on the caller card screen, and of course you can litteraly hear it. its cristal clear and very noticable. its like mono vs stereo.

I have no such indicators. What I did notice, and might the only clue you get with the Unlocked US firmware, is that I noticed LTE+ shows on the status bar for a while at the beginning of the call, and then goes away.

That is a packet sniffer. You have to be rooted to use one off those. I've set up people with VOIP systems and I also did the microwave links, and fought with cities over fiber links. The problem with VOIP is there is no copper "last mile" so you need to specify an address for 911. Locating a caller with VOIP has been shaky for a long time because it became common for a corporate switch to serve satellite plants using the Internet. It requires programming the switch to tie the extension to a location. You still need to do that with cell phones but now it's getting laughable because it moves, and worse, more than one device can service the same number, so it can also be in more than one place at the same time. They are going to have to add something to both VOIP and VoWiFi that uses the GPS at the SIP endpoint, which may still have some flies in the ointment, but at least likely.

carrier voip (volte) has no such requirement from the user device side. because u are still using their infrastructure which they own and maintain. Wificalling on the other hand does 100% because the wifi you are using is not carrier owned nor managed. so you need to enroll and provide 911 info like actual adress and contact info and consent that if death occurs its not on them because localization is not insured.
as of late i have deactivated wifi calling as for the reason it exists, its actually giving me poorer calling experience. i dont know if theres is something wrong with the phone's policy but using the setting to prefer the mobile line, i often find the device doing calls over wifi regardless of the good mobile signal connection. but its been a while so ill test it out again.
edit
so i just tested it and when wifi is weak wifi calling disables amd when strong it reenables.
the policy is strange it should have this behavior on weak cell signal and not on weak wifi signal...

So LTE+ indicates VoLTE and LTE+= indicates carrier aggregation. I did not know that.
EDIT: I JUST figured out our conversation. I said maybe the LTE+ that I saw during my phone conversation was an indication of VoLTE, since LTE+ is the first version with VoLTE support. Your answer states the added + indicates carrier aggregation, implying that it doesn't mean LTE+ features. For some odd reason I interpreted your response that the equal sign would be in the display. Maybe it was taking a day off and catching up on my sleep that made the difference.

LTE = Regular operatiin single band.
LTE + = MULTI band operation( 2 or more)
So One thing I discovered on this new phone of mine is that although working perfectly there is a major flaw in the way Internet data works during a phone call.
Any time you make a call, the phone downgrades the active signal from 5G/4G to H or E ( GSM).
Which in turns cuts off the data.
If I force 5G or 4G, then the phone call cannot be made. It just disconnects.
I have tried all settings, Volte enable/disable with no joy.
Some have said it's a carrier limitation, but it's not, cause in my iPhone, the very same simcard works just fine and the Internet is usable during a call.
Also tried with dual Simcard setup. As in the settings, the phone allows to use one simcard for data and one for call. Still not working.
Can someone please tell me if there is a solution please, or can you try your phone while on the call to see if Internet works as this feature is detrimental to me keeping the phone. If this doesn't work I will be selling the phone and getting a realme replacement.. Xiaomis sometimes suck with their non existent support.
Thanks

Global ROM 13.0.4
I can't see an operator fault if they have Volte services enabled and this simcard works flawlessly on other android systems.
As a matter of fact, any SimCard i have tried, so far 3 providers and the phone does the same thing. As soonest the call is made it downgrades the signal to H while full 5G or 4G is available??

the operator must provide the necessary information for each brand and phone to activate Volte and Wowifi.
On my 11t pro everything works with SFR and nothing with FREE because Free has not yet transmitted the information necessary to activate the services.
So went to see the operator. They sell Xiaomi phones. 3 network ( Three EU)
The phones in the stores are working just fine, no issues at all. And my phone simply just isnt.I have tried every possible setting and still not working.
See the screenshot below. As I'm typing this I'm on a super fast full signal 5G connection. As soon as I make a phone call, the phone will downgrade to E or H+ which is horrible. This network signal switching is also laggy, and If 2g signal is poor I cannot even make a call.

Does the "Use VoLTE" switch appear in the SIM card settings?
If not you can try the Dialer Code *#*#869434#*#*. That only will make this switch appear, but sometimes this is enough. It should also show the little VoLTE-Badge next to the signal strength (see screenshot).

I just had another look and on your 1st post it says the SIM is named "3 IRL", as far as I know Three Ireland does not offer VoLTE at all.
So it will always drop to 3G/H+ or 2G/E ... on every phone.

5G connection should support this naturally. If I put this simcard Into an iPhone or Galaxy the 5G connection stays on regardless.
Anyway even with Vodafone this doesn't work,so I'm thinking it either a phone limitation or a phone is fooked

No, for VoNR your phone still needs the same configs as with VoLTE. Though only a few operators support VoNR as of now.
