Hi all,
I have a Z3 Compact and just want to confirm it is capable of VoLTE? I read somewhere it is but cannot find much official information. If somebody could make it clear I would appreciate it.
Regards

Good, is this supported on a hardware level or via a firmware update. When EE and Three launch their VoLTE service will the phone just support it without additional updates?
Regards,
I do have Z3 Compact with T-Mobile, but there is no VoLTE option
Using Xperia Z3 Compact on T-Mobile USA and trying to find which country will have firmware that has VoLTE option. My phone is from EU/Italy and I have Android 5.0.2 installed, but don't see any option to enable VoLTE. Any one has this option?
Check in /system/etc/customization/modem and you'll see that every firmware contains all modems.
Also, under Software Info in the Service menu it will show which modem is currently loaded.

I just went to Service menu and checked out Software info. It does list GSM/WCDMA/LTE, but how to find out if this phone will have Voice Over LTE? I used T-Mobile branded Z3 for a week and it had an option in "call settings" to put a check mark next to "Enable VoLTE". Once enabled, the signal stayed on LTE network instead of switching to 4G when making a call. The call itself connected faster and the quality was good. Right now even when I am on LTE and make a call, the signal drops down to 4G for the duration of the call, then after that goes back to LTE signal. I know Xperia Z3 phones support this feature on a hardware level, even white pages for Z3 Compact mentions VoLTE, but I can't find the setting. I read somewhere in UK, 2 carriers like EE, going to enable VoLTE in the near future, so I thought one of the UK firmware would have that enabled by then.
As far as I know VoLTE is carrier dependent. Actually maybe few around the world test this service even tough many phones are hardware ready for new standard. You can see the list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoLTE. Please let us know if you find out more.
The build for T-Mobile Germany has this option integrated.

~ Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE ~

Interesting... Do you know if device from T-Mobile Germany is locked or unlocked? My device is unlocked and if I flash it with T-Mobile DE, would it lock the device?
I found this firmware on Xperifirm and it seems to be latest available. Is this the one you mentioned?
Device: Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803)
CDA: 1289-4143
Market: Germany
Operator: Telekom.de DE
Network: GLOBAL-LTE
Release: 23.2.A.0.278 / R11C
Size: 1.49 GB
Yes this is the firmware, I use.
You can remove most of the bloatware.
My device is locked.
I really don't now, if flashing this firmware will lock your device. I never used Flashtool.

I am trying to find out on another thread if flashing locked firmware on unlocked device, what happens. So I will know soon, but I heard that flashing firmware doesn't change SIM Lock, so if it was locked, it will still be locked and vise versa.
I have 2 questions:
1) Is the VoLTE option is in settings>call options and then it says "Enable VoLTE"?
2) Do you also have Wifi Calling?
Thanks
Sorry, I don't have SIM lock. I thought you meant a locked Bootloader.
Flashing another firmware doesn't effect SIM lock.
Yes, it is in settings - > calls
No Wifi calls.
BTW:
O2 Germany will activate VoLTE in the next days on all devices, which support this feature.
So I think, O2 Germany firmware should also have this option in settings - > calls

Thanks for the info! I have flashed my phone with few different firmware: UK, Generic DE and yours Telekom DE. I don't have that option. I checked everywhere... Looks like I may also need to have Telekom sim card and adjust some carrier settings. If nothing helps, I will flash back to original firmware and wait for some other solution.
Maybe this option is hidden, and only shown if your provider supports VoLTE.
Two of my colleagues have also a Z3c. One with Generic DE and O2 Germany SIM card and one with UK firmware, I don't now his provider.
I'll have a look into their settings.

T-Mobile USA has VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling features. All the phones that are T-Moible branded have these features. That is why I was trying to flash your firmware Looks like not only firmware and hardware support plays a role, but also something that carrier has to enable support for Xperia Z3 Compact. My carrier has Xperia Z3 regular and it has VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling, but the phone is too big for me.
Hi I found the post today about features that Android 5.1 will bring and looks like VoLTE might be one of them. http://www.geek.com/android/heres-what-changed-in-android-5-1-lollipop-1617837/
So can you tell me if this firm worked for z3c?
If so what's the link to download it with installation instructions

The following instructions given for Xperia Z3 and Z2 works fine on Z3 compact too. I have been able to enable VoLTE and use the phone with Reliance Jio 4G VolTE network in India.

Hey. Did u unlock your bootloader. But how did u root. Please tell me the process u did. I am on 6.0.1 firmware
VoLTE on Z3C
I have Z3 Compact 6.0.1 (D5833 - India).
I have unlocked my bootloader, rooted, flashed Starhub 6.0.1 and have enabled VoLTE on my Z3 Compact.
Able to make and receive calls with the Reliance Jio sim.
Hi,
I have a Singapore N920I. Im using the phone in INDIA and am not enable to Enable VOLTE. its says 'unsupported by current software version'. Ive tried enabling the 'turn off volte provisioned flag' but doesn't work when tapping on it. My device is rooted. Is there any way to enable VOLTE on my phone.
Android version : 6.0.1
BaseBand: N920IDVU2BPE2
Model : SM-N920I
Thanks
As far as I know, and don't quote me on this. You cannot. The volte service is different from carrier to carrier. For example, I had a Verizon s6 when I switched to T-Mobile. Both networks support volte/advanced calling, however when I tried to activate volte on T-Mobile, it didn't work. The software is looking for the wrong signal. You're best bet is to sell the one you have an buy one compatible with your carrier. Also you could check over on the general note 5 development threads. There is far more support over there for devices that aren't the 920t. Hope this helps.
Your CSC doesn't support the other network. So its like trying to log into a website with a different website account.
I have two note 8 Verizon phones on page plus in my home. One has nougat 7.1.1 and other is oreo 8.0, the one with nougat works flawless. The note 8 with oreo has no advanced lte features or options in menu to turn them on. The oreo phone has N950USQS5CRI4 firmware. I realize I cant flash backwards to nougat. Both phones have same APN settings. Is there a way to get advance lte features on with the oreo phone by flashing a different firmware. I see there was an updated firmware (N950USQS5CRJ3) released after the one I have will this have advanced lte features enabled or will flashing to oreo 8.1 fix this issue. I'm willing to take any advice or help.
THANKS
Take the device to your carrier, my device had no lte settings out of the box, I received a message from the carrier asking me to take my device to them in order to issue me a new sim card and to activate all the functions related to LTE, they did not do anything to the device, checked imei, legal ownership status, updated the info in their system and gave me a new sim, that was it, all the LTE related stuff appeared after a reboot
Page Plus said everything on there end is correct. From my research I seen where with 8.0 the advanced LTE features only available supposedly for major carriers plans like Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc.......not non contract companies. I was curious if anyone knew a fix around it
I used to own the Sprint variant of this phone, V405UA. I just bought the unlocked version because it was on sale through Best Buy. I can no longer use Calling PLUS, meaning I can't talk and surf the web at the same time, and I don't have access to WiFi calling anymore. I'm also guessing I don't have HD Voice, but I haven't had a chance to test it out.
When I dial *#*#4636#*#*, the options to provision VoLTE and WiFi calling are both greyed out and disabled.
Im currently on software version V405QA11b, which is the November 2018 security patch. That's what my phone came with out of the box. I find it a little strange, I thought the factory software patch should have been V405QA10d, the September or October security patch. Little side question, is it normal for phones purchased later to come with newer software than phones purchased during release?
Anyway, is there any way to force enable VoLTE, or WiFi calling? If not, what if I flash my phone to the Sprint firmware? Can anybody post a guide?
Thanks!
Hello all,
During my tour in India in 2018 I bought an A6 DUOS (Made in India). I now have this phone back with me in Europe and I read I could have VoLTE on my carrier (Vodafone Romania). Officially, A6 is even listed on their website as VoLTE and VoWifi capable. However, I don't see the option anywhere, and even in the hidden menu the option for VoLTE provisioning is grayed out. The phone is up-to-date. Wondering if there are any option to fix this.
Any ideas are welcome, thank you very much.
