No "Internet Call Settings" for LG Revolution / 2.3.4 Gingerbread?

From the various source I've found online, including a video explaining how to set up a SIP account on Gingerbread's built-in SIP software, it seems that I should have an "Internet Call Settings" under Settings -> Call Settings. I don't.
FWIW, I'm using the GingerVolt 1.3 ROM (by mtmichaelson) and the Blitzkrieg kernel. I didn't check whether the pre-Blitzkrieg had this setting enabled under Call Settings or not (oops), so it may be the new kernel w/o SIP support? Or the GingerVolt ROM? Or did Verizon take the feature out of their Gingerbread 2.3.4 OTA update?
I'd ask in the GingerVolt/Blitzkrieg threads, but I'm a new user with less than 10 posts and can't post in development forums.

For those of you running Gingerbread on Revolution, do you have "Internet Call Settings" under Settings -> Call Settings?
Wondering if Verizon disabled this, GingerVolt disabled this, or if something went wrong in my setup.

I thought VoLTE was what allowed us to talk on the phone and surf/use data at the same time?? or am I completely nuts?

No, it is similar to the VoIP such as Vonage, Skype, etc. it is just over LTE lol. The talking and surfing is just he result of it having 2 radios, one LTE and one CDMA.

Well color me stupid for thinking otherwise....sheesh. Thanks for clarifying that MT.

I meant a VoIP / SIP stack that GB is supposed to have integrated. Google something like "how to voip gingerbread" to see what I mean.
So, I'm assuming none of you have "Internet call settings" under settings -> call settings?

This is what I'm talking about:

http://www.productiveorganizer.com/...p-internet-calls-on-your-android-gingerbread/
And no one has yet to answer my question... do you have an "Internet Call Settings" section under Settings -> Call Settings, on Gingerbread running on LG Revolution?

Thank you. Wonder why it's missing? I'm guessing Verizon took it out?

I think you will find your answer here.
I Recommend anyone interested in this topic and LTE education to not only read this particular page of the link, but to read all 7 pages. Tells a lot, and for those wondering about battery life... You might find something extremely surprising about 4gLTE signal, speeds, and whatnot, and why your 4GLTE phone uses more battery than a 3g.
One thing I wanted to note, is that it appears your phone (Yes, your LG Revolution, or most 4gLTE phones) signal indicator isn't giving you a 4g signal rating, but a 3g signal and that 4gLTE signal is actually likely lower than you think... Unless you have a new Galaxy Nexus, which actually shows 4g Signal... Read up on this entire article and see what I mean. Very informative.
http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/110711-what-is-lte/6
Not only explains your topic, but also many aspects of LTE service if you manage to get through the pages.
OP, Your post sparked interest in what you were looking for and it seems that it's likely the T-Mobile phones, of all carries, likely has the Internet Calling Settings you are referring to. So, looks like a carrier thing whether or not you have it on your phone.
EDIT: What MT said above in post just before this one, is right on target and basically said within the article (Link)

Surprisingly, the revolution is one of two LTE phones that shows 4g in the status bar... you can watch it under network status or whatever... scary the revo does something right that no other phone at its time did... unless that's the 3G dBm next to what says 4G even in the status...

The thing is, though, is the 4g under Network Status really a 4g signal? I ask because the signal beneath it is the 1x Signal. There is no indication of 3g.
Regardless, I was just noting what I read about the signal when on dual band phones, such as the LG Revo. If I cone across anything that tell about it more, I will post it.

That was my question too, at the end of my statement... if I had a different 4g phone with network status I could compare the signal... from what I remember, though, that was a full 3G area I was going through...

fwiw, on my droid eris running cyanogenmod 7, there was a Internet Call Settings section in the rom. i did try to get it to work with my employer's OCS implementation without success. now, if i could get the sip info for google voice, i bet i could have a working google voice phone (wifi only of course) on my old phone.

Would this VoLTE also be comparable to T-Mobile's Wifi calling? I often work in areas where I get no signal but can get wifi signal. The business manager at my office has T-Mobile and is able to activate "wifi calling" which I'm assuming is just VoIP. I always wished and hoped Verizon would come out with wifi calling too so no matter what I could get/make calls.
Would the VoLTE be like Wi-Fi Calling(VoIP)?

CSipSimple + CallCentric has been good to me

T-Mobile 4G vs LTE with Moto X?

Have had LTE in our area for years just noticed the other day both Moto X phone connecting on 4G?
Only setting I find is Auto and or 2 G
Under settings, Data, other, mobile network, preferred network type.
I'm I missing some other setting or trick ?
LTE is checked in APN setting

Change back LTE to unspecified. Make sure you have the LTE APN and the dot beside it is highlighted.

If my memory serves 4.2.2 only showed 4G. 4.4+shows 4G with a small LTE above it. Ignore my screenshots cause my signal bars are modded. Here's what your APN settings should look like...
I can't attach screenshots for some reason...
I'll try and upload them when I get to a PC

Or I could just clear data on the XDA app and post them now.

Did your phone update overnight? If you're stock you might have gotten 4.4.3

Upgrade was done Sunday it was doing this prior to 4.4.3

3g on. Verizon

Do I have to keep my connection on global if I get to an area that my LTE drops off to get 3g? I had it set to LTE but got the roaming so I put it on global got 3g then got LTE when I got service back. Is this the normal process? I just got nexus 6 and wasn't sure if this is normal. Running cm12

Set it to Global if your outside of US territory LTE (Recommended) if you're within the US. Always remember to enable Airplane mode or Reboot when making the changes as a precaution.

Global and LTE are exactly the same if you are using a Verizon sim card. Global just allows you to use a GSM sim (typically for overseas travel).

Ok so I noticed if it drops I don't get 3g so is their a way to get 3g. My situation is when I put my phone in my locker it loses 4g and would default to 3g now I just get a ! On the network signal. So did I lose ability to get on 3g. I think I read on here that can happen
Yes surely lost 3g cause if I switch to 3g it gives me the !. So how do I restore 3g

I had same thing. Turned on Allow Roaming Data, and it goes into 3g. I'm assuming that since I'm in my home area, this won't cause me incur roaming charges.

Anyone figure out a solution for this yet?

Mine will get 3g just have roaming enabled. With the way big red is kinda makes me nervous. Do you need roaming enabled to get 3g?

My roaming is off and mine will go between 3G and LTE with no problems. It does that a couple times a day at my work.

I found that on stock ROM it switched 4g to 3g fine. On aosp Roms I need to have roaming data enabled to get 3g and it says I'm on network 0000000.

I remember santod040 fixing that issue on HTC one m8 or was it digitalhigh I don't remember.

Can you people who are claiming that phone switches to 3g confirm that you are on Verizon? I was not aware that that this phone works on Verizon 3g since it is CDMA technology.

Yes am on vzw can get 3g without enabling roaming on stock rom, on custom roms at least the ones I've tried roaming needs to be enabled to have phone switch between 4g and 3g. N6 has only two variants us and the rest of the world. The us version has a cdma radio don't know about the other. Also on verizon there is no voice and data at the same time... yet may have it in the future.

Nexus 6 Outside USA CDMA Network Issues

When android 5.1.1 is running on it, I can only do calls and text, However when i install android 6.0.1 it only have LTE data and no voice or text.
What could be causing this issue? If so, How can it be resolved?

lte is only a data connection. your provider must have Volte. volte is Voice Over LTE. thats the only way to get voice on lte.

Ok, so there is no way to get it running otherwise until they setup volte on their system?

right.
but considering they have lte going, most likely they would have volte as well. some US providers, like verizon, have lte and volte, but you have to enable it in the providers settings. id call your provider to find out.

Which international version is best for tmobile?

I was thinking about getting an international phone but there are a few versions N930F/FD/S/L/K . Which would be most compatible. As I understand it, the downside is missing some of the bands for data. 3g is the problem I think. Can anyone confirm this or input any additional issues.

N930F/FD will definitely work on T-Mobile...
I think WiFi Calling and VoLTE won't work and you might miss a band or two but it will work just fine.

I believe 4g is ok. The some bands for 3g have reduced speeds.

N930F has all Tmo bands. WIfi calling and VOLTE will not work with stock rom, but will if/when custom roms come out.

Very odd as both worked in the S7 FD version I had for a bit. The requirement isn't bands but that the TMO sim has to be in sim1 not sim2. If it's in sim1 then both work. Also, VoLTE is hidden and always on if supported.
