No one actually has a TMO Moto X yet, I'd guess no to your question though.
T-Mobile said no WiFi calling with motoX as not a true carrier phone
Did anyone ever figure out how to get WiFi calling on the X? Sort of dampers the new X given tmobiles announcement today
Unfortunately, Moto X is not on the list of supported devices that are receiving wifi calling from Tmobile

I know that, I'm asking if it was ever ported or anything.
Will the VoLTE feature be available for this model? Nexus 6...Hard choices!
It is already available on 2013 Moto phones and onwards. Of course it will be on this phone.
It'll be available in the first few months after launch.

While I would love for this to be true, it's not. I specifically passed on the Z3V and am returning my Moto X 2014 because it is not available on either, and neither do simultaneous data/voice without the "Advanced calling 1.0" update, which who knows when it will arrive.
Sad

I get simultaneous calling/data as long as I am on 4g.
Motorola/Verizon have had the fastest updates.
Very surprised the Moto X did not have the update. Then again, the VoLTE is just rolling out for Maxx/Ultra/Mini now.
Can I use VOLTE to call people on other carriers? Probably just a stupid question but I read a post on another forum that for Verizon VOLTE to work so you can use data while on a call it has to be two Verizon VOLTE devices AND both need to be in a VOLTE area...
I assume this isn't true and that I can use VOLTE to call anyone and still use data.

I believe right now it only works on VZW->VZW where both people have VoLTE. Eventually it will work across other carriers, but not until they all adopt the technology more widely.
The HD voice and video calling only work for calls to other volte phones. But you can still call other people with VoLTE enabled and use voice/data.
I was looking to get the new HTC u11 which for Verizon can only be done unlocked but there are a ton of people having a ton of issues on Verizon with the unlocked model: IMEI not accepted on Verizon, missing bands, no cdma (so no 3g or 1x), missing visual voicemail, no immediate HD calling, no Wi-Fi calling, notification issues and Verizon essentially saying the phone was never qualified on their Network so support is limited and so will future updates to the phone like getting Wi-Fi calling working. So that option is dead to me as getting an unlocked phone without carrier bloat is great but not great if it's having this many issues.
So... I'm curious if the same thing happens with the unlocked version of the S8 on Verizon? Or is it 100% functioning just minus the carrier bloat?
Answer = no
No CDMA radio so no 3G or 1x in remote or spotty places. A tech told me.

According to Samsung.com it will work on Verizon. However, I haven't found if it fully works.
Works fine on VZW all s8's are using the same hardware, only difference is the customized carrier software.

Just like HTC - it will work to a limited degree. No 3g no 1x as no cdma radio. I need that ability so I passed.

The S8 has a CDMA radio. It is the same hardware that Verizon and Sprint use for the carrier model.
I'M on the unlocked model, notice my phone was using 3g so yes it can. For some reason my father in law was not able to add a line to our plan because my phone was marked on the account as incompatible. Was told to go get a new sim card and everything was working before and after so I'm not sure? The tech wasn't sure why I had to get a new SIM. I had popped it out of my iPhone 7 and it worked immediately on my s8. I have not found the wifi calling feature though.
Does UDP native tethering work our of the box on the unlocked model on Verizon? How about HD voice? Both of these work on my Moto X Pure, even though is is not Verizon certified.

Yes works great. I found a Cspire s8 plus that was Google locked. I unlocked it then sim unlocked it and flashed the U firmware. Only thing is no option for video calling and I haven't tried wifi calling but everything else works. I'm now using it on Verizon. Had the phone a month now.

Works fine with 3g...my office sux and my unlocked works in 3g on verizon just fine.
Best part about unlocked - no tether subscription check, so I can keep tethering my old unlimited data plan without paying the tether fee
From what I can tell, only visual voicemail is not working on verizon, but google voice forwarding is just as good. Plus it was like this on the 6p until it upgraded to 7.1 at which time it worked natively, so the S8 might eventually get the same treatment.

How do you properly set up Google Voice so that you can use it as Visual Voicemail. I tried setting it up via the old Legacy Google Voice link through PC browser. Thought I had everything working, but not sure. I may have enabled an extra step, as everytime I dial out, it hangs up and auto redials really quickly. Like it routes all outgoing calls through GV too. Sometimes it redials the same number, sometimes it's a completely random number.

They had me put in some crazy string into the phone. But make sure google chat is unchecked on the legacy site. Then click the little link for voicemail forwarding. Go through the prompts and it works fine. I had to put do not disturb so it doesnt ring through to my voice number, but it seems to working just fine. Make sure the setting on the non legacy site are all unchecked too
So far the only thing that doesn't appear to work is WiFi calling. VoLTE works but there is no indication of HD Voice on the handset.

Yes, this is because the IMEI is not "in the system" so you cannot use the phone to activate a new SIM unless you have the IMEI added to the VZW database. The solution to this is to active the SIM in a VZW handset and then put that SIM into the S8.

Do you see verizon wifi callin gone sm-g950u1
verizon wifi calling is only available in the VZW specific firmware for the device. i purchased an unlocked S8 and because i needed wifi calling, i had to flash the VZW specific firmware.

Hi knightsfury - Were you able to pull off getting the VZW firmware on your unlocked s8? I need the wifi calling/video calling, as well. have been trying to find a thread which explains this. Would you be able point in the right direction? Thanks!
What is the model number for the unlocked variant that works on Verizon? Can anyone link me to where to buy one?

yes i had no problems. in fact, i did this with 2 different new unlocked S8's (mine and my wife's). i followed the threads for flashing firmware in the guides section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to

Great! Thanks for letting me know. I got it to work as well - I have HD & Wireless calling working, but still waiting on video calling because it is blocked as a service on our account from when we activated the phones unlocked. However, a CS rep told me they would work with higher tier tech support to see if the block can be removed. We will see...
Thanks again!

Confirmed... when I am out of LTE coverage areas there is no 2x or 3x , only 1x voice. In practice this means no MMS (2x), or any other data. No group texts, fun. You can still make and receive phone calls and SMS. This kinda sucks.
Purchased at : B&H Photo Video
Settings -> About Phone :
Model: SM-G950U1
Baseband : G950U1EU1AQG2
Build: NRD90M.G950U1UEU1AQG2
If you look at available firmware for the SM-G950U1 : http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G950U1&exact=1&r=&v=&rpp=50 there are Verizon-specific ones. I'm going to go give one of those a try.

Unfortunately this means wiping the phone and dealing with Verizon bloatware... but that seems to be the cost for getting 3G back.

Is there anyway to enable Volte over Cricket wireless?
I mean the Moto G5s plus is designed to have Volte and Cricket have it ....
I have the same issue in UK with Vodafone and my g5s plus. No volte options available or working.

yes is weird..this phone is capable of VOLTE.....
Not weird at all AT&T (Cricket) is just weird on the whole VoLTE thing. I honestly think their handset guys hate the network guys trying to get rid of UMTS traffic. Very few and far between BYOD Android phones work on VoLTE even though they are perfectly capable with AT&T/Cricket.
