What about WIFI calling and Texts? I've heard there is a fix to make it work with a TWO Rom on an ATT note 3.
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.
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.

Do any of those options actually work for you?

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?

Hi all does anyone has wi-fi calling in the unlocked BTU version? Vodafone in particular?
Thanks

Yes I have wifi calling. Unlocked BTU
I'm on EE
Wi-Fi calling
Did you have to enable calling on the S8? I checked an S8 (BTU) demo phone at Carphone Warehouse and could not find this option. What process did you go through with EE to get it working and are you happy with it? I cannot get a signal indoors and want to buy unlocked S8 to use use WFC.
Thanks, Mike
I am on BTU with Three - but WiFi calling is not enabled;
The XEU (UK unlocked from 3rd party seller) variant has a Wifi calling option in call settings. This works for EE but I had a new contract and Wifi calling didn't get enabled until a few days later. VoLTE didn't work at all on XEU with EE, so I installed the EVR firmware for that. Maybe try sticking the VOD firmware on yours?
For Vodafone all you need to do is call the support then ask for wifi calling issues.
Ask them to send you the configuration to update the provisioning and the wifi calling option will appear instantly.
One question to people in the UK with any Carrier unlocked Note 8. Is the RCS or Chat in your stock messages app?
Thanks
Another thing not to overlook (if you are struggling to find the settings) is where you're looking for it.
On my old N6P it used to be in the advanced WiFi settings but with the Note 8 its in the phone app. Took me a while to figure that one out!
I have sim-free Note 8 and wifi calling on EE.
S.
I have an unlocked pixel 4 XL that was purchased directly from Google. I would like to have Wi-Fi calling on AT&T but was told they only enabled it on AT&T branded phones. Would flashing my pixel 4 XL with an AT&T build carrier lock my device?
I also have a pixel 3 XL and have the same question.
Thanks in advance anyone who can answer.
@bmurf
What they told you is not true. I have always had WiFi calling working on ATT using Google Store phones forever. If you are currently using AT&T as your carrier, you use the "Global" image or AT&T only if one is available, and NO it definitely will not carrier lock your phone. If you are on the November 12.0.0 (SP1A.211105.002, Nov 2021) it will work if your SIM is provisioned for it. If you cannot get Wifi calling working, check phone settings to see if your SIM is provisioned for it. In the dialer type *#*#4636#*#* under phone settings check that the toggle for WI-Fi calling is on. If it is on, that means your SIM is provisioned for it and it will work. If it is off and you cannot toggle it on, your SIM has to be provisioned for it by AT&T. . My family has 4 Pixels and they all have Wi-Fi calling working for years. Starting back with the Nexus phones, but PIxel 2,3,4 all work. You can go to AT&T and request they provision your SIM for free. Don't leave the store until both your phones are working. If you have a really old SIM it may need to be replaced (free also). Disclaimer: I have had a post-paid account for a long time. If you are on a pre-paid plan or AT&T MVNO, your results may be different.
