Is it possible to enable phone call through LTE on T817T, I found this old post ...
"LTE tablets sold in US cannot make voice calls because it's disable in the firmware. Most international LTE versions sold in Europe and Asia can make phone calls because it's enable in the firmware, they're identical to US versions but different names and different firmwares."
Has this been possible to do? Thanks.

First I do not have an S6 yet but am researching before Purchase and main concern
is Battery Life ....but this is a General Question.
On Metro PCS/ Tmobile we already have VoLTE on all Devices which have 4G LTE
Radios which are Carrier Branded Devices.
Metro PCS was one of the first so back in 2012 my little LG Motion 4G had simultaneous
Voice and Data on LTE Band .
My current Factory Unlocked Alpha 850M is CAPABLE of VoLTE but lacks the specific
TMobile Software for VoLTE on this Network so as soon I make a call the LTE
drops down to 3G or H H+ to make the call then returns to LTE after the call.
All unlocked Devices do this .
HOWEVER: the Galaxy S6 has a VoLTE setting in the Menu - on a MetroPCS/Tmobile
version on Tmobile/Metro you already have this function so:
1) What does VoLTE switch do on S6 Tmobile version - you stay on LTE During calls
either way - right ? VoLTE ON or OFF.
2) Since there IS a VoLTE switch will this be the FIRST Device that enables VoLTE even
as a Factory Unlocked version running on Tmobile/ Metro ?
Meaning - is this the beginning of VoLTE as a Universal Android Feature across many
Carriers not requiring specific Carrier Software for a Specific Network to enable
VoLTE on multiple Carriers ?
Thanks for your patience - I am not a Dev and have learned much here.

I don't believe this is the case YET. Android AOSP has VoLTE built into it as of OS version 5.1 (as seen with the Nexus 6). Prior to this the VoLTE was handled by carrier software on carrier devices. I do not know if another carriers S6 will use VoLTE on T-Mobile without being flashed with T-Mobile software first.
That being said going forward we should see a VoLTE "Universal Android Feature" that is compatible with any device/enabled carrier but not until 5.1+
You're confusing a few different things
- Simultaneous voice + data was always available on GSM networks, it uses the regular GSM radio to place the call and then data is separate. This is not VoLTE.
- CDMA carriers (Verizon, Sprint, old Metro PCS) had trouble with voice + data, CDMA didn't allow it to work. When LTE was introduced, it gave them the ability to connect voice through CDMA and data via LTE, so that's how they were able to do simultaneous voice + data. This is also not VoLTE.
- VoLTE is sending the call over the data LTE network. This is also different to WiFi calling. So instead of your phone call being transmitted as a voice call, it's turned into data, and sent through T-Mobile (or whatever carrier's network) as data. You can have a VoLTE call and use data as well, it's the equivalent of having 2 data apps running at the same time.
- There have been a few VoLTE enabled phones already, I believe the Note 4 and Z3 both have VoLTE. There are probably others, I just don't know off the top of my head.
We have Had VoLTE Phones on Metro PCS since August 2012
Again-we have had VoLTE Phones since 2012 on Metro PCS :
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2408750,00.asp
I had one of the first Models called LG Motion 4G- the Call
AND the Internet while on the Call were all over LTE.
Metro PCS was one of the first to offer this and most of their
LTE ( if not ALL) have had this feature since AND TMobile has
adopted this Feature to most of their phones.
But I don't want to get bogged down in that Question.
The Question is - On Metro PCS /Tmobile you ONLY Get VoLTE on a Metro branded Phone-
AT&T issued an OTA UPDATE for their first VoLTE Phone which
was Galaxy S4 Mini .
There is No Factory Unlocked Phone which can get VoLTE on Metro PCS ( but their Branded 4G LTE phones do have VoLTE)
BUT - since VoLTE is a Function in the Galaxy S6 and is somewhat supported by Android Lollipop -
Will Factory Unlocked Galaxy S6 be the First Phone which will
Stay on 4G LTE during a call even when you get on the Internet?
Other Phones which are NOT Carrier Branded drop down to 3G during calls and thus have slower data speeds during calls etc.
The new Galaxy S6 Active will probably have an SD Card and much larger Battery -probably exclusive to AT&T
BUT Factory Unlocked Models will become available -
1)IF I get a Factory Unlocked S6 Active and turn on VoLTE Feature-will the Device stay on 4G LTE during calls with Data - VoLTE ?
2) Metro PCS LTE phones and Tmobile LTE Phones already have VoLTE so again what is the difference on S6 if you turn VoLTE on or off in the Menu ?
3) My Factory Unlocked Galaxy Alpha 850M does not have the VoLTE software for Metro/ Tmobile so I am on LTE but as soon as I make a call I drop to 3G ( it shows on the screen) with slower data and sometimes data interruption.
Will S6 do the same thing if an Unlocked Phone or be the first Factory Unlocked Phone with VoLTE across multiple Carriers ?

I have a MetroPCS Galaxy S6 Unlocked and VoLTE Works Fine and also I have the T-mobile firmware on it I'm not sure if that would change anything but I was just saying for me it works perfect
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
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.
Hello,
I've searched the forums and haven't found an answer to this issue I'm having.
I have a Huawei P10 Plus VKY-L29 model and I'm having issues connecting to LTE on T-Mobile US. In areas where is it supposed to be LTE, the signal displays "4G+". I know there's the argument that 4G+ is LTE but then there's the problem where other people are on LTE and I will be on 4G in the same area. Also, whenever I make a call (whether on 4G or 4G+) before the call begins to ring, it will revert to nothing higher than 3G and then connect the call. This is an issue because my phone will also not receive calls unless 3G is available (which is not always the case) and will send the caller straight to voicemail and I will get no notification that they called unless they leave a voicemail. I assume this is a VoLTE (Voice over LTE) thing. I want to note that I do have the Virtual HD call move enabled in Dialer settings. There is no VoLTE setting in the device though. I was searching for the engineering code for Huawei devices in case there's a "LTE/4G/3G/2G" option that is not enabled but have not found one that works for this device.
My device is not rooted.
Please help!
Thank you!

You have to check your carrier whether they enable and support VOLTE for P10 plus. My carrier in my country only support few mobile devices for VOLTE and including P10. VOLTE is a service provide by carrier. Not phone. Hope it helps.
My brother brought Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F. When calling him most of the calls goes to Voicemail so i just want to make sure it is the problem with network or phones bands that does not support to US bands

It's more than likely a network related issue,unless he has calls set to go straight to voicemail.
Which network/carrier is he using?

he is using lyca (tmobiles network sharing). When i check with lyca website most of the bands are not come on international version

No,the phone should work just fine,unless he's in an area that is served solely by Band 71,which is highly unlikely,as most,if not all areas are served by at least two bands.
My guess is he needs to call LycaMobile & see what's going on.
Another couple of possibilities:
1) The phone he's using is region locked or blacklisted.
2) Check the APN & make sure it's correct,but,this shouldn't be necessary on an unlocked device.
An unlocked phone that is otherwise compatible should automatically use the proper APN for whatever SIM is installed.
I had a few different models of the Note FE & never had issues with calls/data & I'm on T-Mobile US,so,there's really no reason why this Note 9 shouldn't work.
That's why I suspect it's either region locked,or,something else is going on w/LycaMobile.
@alwynjoshy
Perhaps the phone's anti-spam feature is detecting your number as such & sending it directly to voicemail:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...oing-straight-to-Voicemail-Note-9/td-p/395457
If that feature is indeed on his phone,have him turn it off & see if it helps.
Hi, I was wondering if WiFi calling is something that I can enable or do I have to get in touch with Motorola or my network provider (3 three UK)? I used to have it on my older phone (honor play) without having to change settings. It's the same network and same SIM.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
You can turn it on in the expand settings of mobilnetwork.

I dont have that option
EE only
I have found out that it is only available on EE (UK) even though I had it on my old honor play,
must be an exclusivity with them or something,
kinda sucks but nothing I can do
Hello,
I have also Moto G7 plus and Vodafone CZ. Vodafone CZ supports WiFi calling but for the phones with their firmware. Since they have never sold this phone I can't get their firmware (because it doesn't exist) to activate WiFi calling. Is there any workaround on how to do it, please?
Thank you!
You can try:
Dial *# *#4636# *# * -- >Phone Information --> switch on 'WiFi Calling Provisioning'
This will more likely be greyed out if your carrier doesnt specifically offer/support the device your on. My carrier (Bell Canada) supports wifi calling, however ONLY on devices they sell, not brought into their network. So for me I can't enable it as they only support the G7 Play, not the plus. I called my carrier support and there was nothing they could do to force provisioning on there end, but may vary carrier to carrier. Its a pretty rediculous exclusivity thing, gives them a way to try and force your hand into buying a carrier specific device.
I have got the same when I dial *# *#4636# *# *. I can' turn it on Carrier said they can't help me.
Edit: for some reason I can't insert an image.
