I'm using a rom that doesn't support VOLTE or wifi calling... Wifi calling i can live without... Curious how important Volte is? I know it delivered HD voice, but thats about I know.
Was hoping to get some opinions from people smarter than me. Thanks.

If you're in an LTE band 12 area, there is no corresponding GSM voice for it, so you'll need VoLTE to make and receive voice calls in that region.

What is this about?
The Nexus 4 launched without WiFi Calling support for T-Mobile USA customers. I'm starting this bounty to encourage people to port this feature to the Nexus 4. It has been done in the past, and there are even claims that the N4 was being tested with WiFi Calling support before launch.
For more read this: http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/4g-wireless-broadband-service?uid=Coverage_3
Why should you care about this?
WiFi Calling will give all T-Mobile USA customers who use the Nexus 4 the ability to use their T-Mobile phone number to make/receive calls and text messages over an active WiFi network. As well, post-paid T-Mobile customers could avoid using their minutes, if they are on a limited or pooling plan, while using WiFi Calling. Customers need to ensure they have the "Free WiFi Calling" SOC attached to their line and a valid 911 address on file. The 911 address requirement also applies to pre-paid T-Mobile USA customers.
How can you help?
Simply reply to this thread showing your support to have this awesome feature ported to the Nexus 4. Optionally, you can let us know how much you personally would be willing to put up to see T-Mobile WiFi Calling come to the Nexus 4. Personally, I am staking $50 for this feature; however, you can stake any amount you wish, or absolutely none at all. You being here and reading this is good enough for me. But if it is at all possible, please at least reply to this thread. The more exposure it gets, the better our chances our of getting it accomplished!
Presently, the bounty is valued at $1400. The value of the bounty changes frequently as more people enlist their support towards the completion of this project. So, please consider helping out the entire community by showing your support in this thread. Even if it doesn't affect you at all, there is a vast amount of people looking forward to using this feature as soon as possible.
Thank you!

I don't yet have one. I would be willing to pay for it (around $20) though if I get one. The thing making me doubt getting it is the OTG issues. Might get one anyway.
I'd toss in $10 (not the richest guy) because I get don't service in my house.
T-Mobile isn't too terrible here where I live, but not having WiFi Calling is a disappointment when you trace to places without coverage
Bounty
WiFi Calling would be great :-/
$10
Guys, my suggestion is to use Vonage. Uses your number and doesn't use minutes from existing T-Mobile plan. Works over WiFi and 4G/3G
If you don't mind having another number, there's always Google Voice and VOIP.

Back when I had T-Mobile, developers got Wi-Fi Calling working on the Nexus One and I think I had it on my Nexus S but root access was required because the kernel had to be modified. Don't know if getting it enabled without root would be possible.

But why pay for something like Vonage if I could keep my number and have reliable service via WiFi for free with WiFi-Calling? (Free with my current plan)

Dang, common misconception
Vonage Mobile is a free app that uses your current number and calls out via 3G/4G or WiFi.
All free

I looked at it.... it says its only free if the other person also has the vonage app. You have to buy minutes for regular calls

I made a call to my dad who doesn't have the Vonage app... it worked...
And I used it on an unactivated phone
Just checked the app info... yeah idk why it says they need the Vonage app, maybe they mean for picture messaging and texts?
Also Vonage has 3000 minutes a month, so maybe if you get more friends the 3000 minutes will be raised for free?
Probably just an issue with wording...

My only question about Vonage's is when they call you will it go thru wifi! The only reason I want WiFi calling is because I get no reception in my house
I put up $10 for this bounty.

In your case, Vonage wouldn't be a solution because you can't receive calls with it.
See, a normal fix to this would be to reject the call then call them back with Vonage, but if you don't get service you won't even get the call.

Alright so it was confirmed that the nexus supports T-mobile's Wifi Calling. How exactly do you conifgure it ? I didn't see anything in the settings, and didn't see a Wifi Calling app in the playstore.
Does anyone know how to get Wifi Calling working on the new Nexus with T-Mobile ?

Yes. You will have to wait until 2015 to get Wifi calling working.
You have to wait until next year. I'm in the same boat. In the mean time, you could do wifi calling using hangouts.
@askdesk on twitter said that they're working on it. no ETA as of yet.
Yeah. It sucks working in a cave and having a pregnant wife and no Wi-Fi calling.

Get a note 4...lol.
All,
on my Note 3 I can talk and use data at the same time. I thought I had read somewhere that the Nexus 6 would do the same. But it seems that it will not.
I am wrong?
Thanks Dave
I am on AT&T and I have used DAT and a phone call at the same time. This has more to do with your carrier and not the actual device.

Oems have made all phones that are sprint spark capable with only one pathway from modem. ..last phone on sprint that can do svlte is note 3 ...vzw is the same
Unfortunately it doesn't work on this phone =/

The Nexus 6 will not do simultaneous voice and data on Sprint or Verizon. (Although on Verizon it should be possible in some areas when VoLTE starts rolling out, not 100% sure with Sprint.)
Same with sprint they are rolling out volte sometime 2015+
Thanks for the response.

That's why T-Mobile is winning more customers and Sprint is sending techs to your house to help you set up your phone. Priorities. ???
Were is video calling on mm. Not showing up when I make a call to wife and we both have note 4, but Im on MM and she is on LP.
It's on both LP and MM.

Make sure both phones have VoLTE set-up properly. Also, if T-Mobile is having temporary VoLTE issues, or if one of you is not in a VoLTE area, it may be temporarily unavailable.

I can honestly say I have never seen it on mine either. Wife and I are both on tmo. I've flashed stock and roms (all TW based) many times and never have seen it on any version of the firmware.

The settings appear different, now - here's the original discussion on the features of Advanced Messaging and Video Calling with 5.1.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/5-1-1-advanced-messaging-t3266192
Video calling is an option for me when connected to either WiFi or LTE. As for the VoLTE settings, the only settings I see now are 'VoLTE Preferred', under the 'Call' settings (in the contacts or dialer menu). If you are doing everything right, and it's not working, I can only guess it may be a lack of LTE coverage in your area - Maybe double-check if your phone reports a 4G or 4G-LTE connection. Good luck - I hope you get it working!
There's no VoLTE toggle in Mobile Network Settings and the IMS Settings method doesn't work. I don't want to root the phone and honestly, we shouldn't have to jump through such hoops for this. Even the S7 works out of the box. This is embarrassing.

Did I ask about 4G? I'm talking about VoLTE. There is no VoLTE toggle in the settings.
Some people use an app that allows them to turn on or off the volte. Sorry I don't remember the app name.
