Anyone have wifi calling working on any of the UK networks?
Same here , anybody managed to enable it?
we need to wait for xiaomi to bring the *#*#869434#*#* switch to android one i think.
was added on miui 10.2 but the android one is still based on 10.0...
If your carrier or phone doesn’t technically support Wi-Fi Calling natively doesn’t mean you can’t use another form of the feature if you’d like. There are plenty of apps out there that will let you make calls.

Whenever I make a phone call, the phone (Stock, rooted) pops up a warning saying that "Mobile Data Not Available" and "Mobile data is unavailable while on this call. Apps like email, Internet and social networking will work if you connect to Wi-Fi."
I'm fully aware of the limitations on the phone hardware, and I don't need to be reminded of it every single time... and then have to click a stupid button to make it go away, particularly when I am driving. Is there a way to disable this stupid popup? I can certainly get into system files (since I'm rooted)... just need to know what to do.
Please keep in mind, this is different from the warning some users have complained about which pops up a similar warning when they disable mobile data... this is a different popup that happens with phone calls.
Thanks in advance!
so you don't have VoLTE?

Never turned it on because coverage is spotty at my house. I wish it would be VoWIFI, then I'd be all over it... I assume it doesn't work that way, correct?
It's warning you the phone is dropping down to CDMA for a phone call, which can't handle data and voice simultaneously.
VoLTE can. So, if it's giving you that warning, you are probably on stock ROM?
If you used VoLTE, it would not give you that warning.
I'm also assuming custom ROMs don't have that warning, but I'm not sure -- since I don't use Verizon and I always have simultaneous data/voice.

Correct. If you want to make VoIP calls with WiFi, your best bet is downloading the google hangouts dialer. You'll be able to make calls over wifi free to US numbers, and you can even make it so it will show up as your number on their caller ID. The only drawback is that you can't receive calls over WiFi using this app.
But to answer your question, just turn on advanced calling. Even if it doesn't work due to your lack of signal, it shouldn't hurt anything, and it will get rid of that message.
Yeah, I know what the warning is about., I just don't need to hear about it every time I make a call... so I wanted to disable the popup. I figure if the ROM cookers have seen it, they can point me to where it is and I can remove it.
My concern with adding Advanced Calling is that, as I've heard, it's not able to transfer off VoLTE into a regular calling mode. In other words, if you're on VoLTE, you have to stay on it or else you'll lose the call... is this no longer true? If so, then I'd consider turning it on... but I can't afford to drop calls during a drive (I'm now working in sales, after all!)
Related: I saw a some info about Wifi calling, which is available on some newer phones... I know VZ doesn't let us do this on our phones (for whatever reason) but I wonder if we can enable this feature on our phones via a custom ROM or some manually added modules?

Unlikely since we haven't even figured out how to get VoLTE onto custom ROMs. Plus, Wi-Fi Calling wouldn't be as easy as enabling something. Even if we could somehow enable it, Verizon would need to allow it on their side.

This is also why I can't Wi-Fi calling. AT&T has it for premium AT&T branded phones (mine is not) and for their postpaid/contract customers (I am on AT&T in-house prepaid GoPhone). So, only AT&T can give me Wi-Fi calling, not a custom ROM.
i was going through my old lg g3 and saw the volte packages cant anyone port the packages to the oneplus 3t
VoLTE is enabled by default on the OP3/T. It's up to the carrier to provision VoLTE onto your device for it to actually work though. The problem with some major carriers is that they screen the IMEI of the phone you're using and won't allow you to use certain features such as VoLTE unless you buy a branded phone from them. If you call customer support, they're going to come with with some BS excuse like "your phone is incompatible with our networks or VoLTE." Large networks are prone to pulling shady stuff like this to get users to buy more stuff from them. Not all networks will do this though, as it seems India's Jio networks allow all phones to use their advanced features.
All in all, porting software from another phone will not enable VoLTE on your phone. You might be enable to enable it by spoofing your phone's IMEI, though I'm pretty sure that's illegal or against some ToS.
Hello Friends,
Having Googled Up & Down accross the Interwebs, I am frankly Stumped.
The UK Mobile Network EE offers the P8 Lite (2017 Model) (PRA-LX1) with Wifi calling directly.
Until recently they had web posts saying this phone is WiFi Calling compatible whether purchased from EE or indirectly.
However this is not the case. My Version was purchased unlocked, from Carphone Warehouse UK.
I have force updated the firmware to PRA-LX1C432B191.
I cannot get the Wifi Calling option to Display (Or VOLTE)
However B191 firmware is supposed to support VOLTE & WiFi Calling.
Suspect either some custom apps or configurations exist on the EE provided phone that is not on My handset.
I am Happy to root, Mod, Unlock and try to enable this option.
Where do I start looking? Could you tell me where I can find the right firmware,
or mods, hacks or changes to enable this feature?
Why would the EE shipped phone have wifi calling but the unbranded unlocked version not?
It is the very highly strange situation.
Cheers friends, looking forward to your insights and suggestions.
WiFi calling may need to be enabled on your account by EE tech support, this used to be the case a few years back when I was a tech support agent for them.
Confirmed, wificalling is enabled on my account,
They also did a network refresh on my account.
Still cant see the option.
*bump* anyone can help me enable wifi calling feature on this device?
the rom should support it
I'm in a similar situation, although I am still stock at LX1C432B115. Can I ask how you force updated to 191?
I had a look at an EE handset and that had the build PRA-LX1C440B163 and the wifi calling menu items were visible. I had wondered whether flashing that (or the latest ee build C44?) onto the phone was possible\the easiest way to get it working.
hello
the mate 10 is the only android phone that can make wifi call on my carrier "Zain SA", and i am wondering if any on can help me extract the data related to my carrier to run wifi call on my S8. any help is appreciated
regards
I can't see why the s8 wouldn't support WiFi calling when the mate 10 does, they both support it, as long as the carrier supports the feature, it should work on both.
On my s8 I had to disable it with my carrier first, then get them to re enable it before it would work with my s8.
i think there are some settings and files needed to be in the phone to be able to run
the carrier say they only support iphones
If they only support I phones, why is your mate 10 working out the box, even if their are files needed to enable WiFi calling, they wouldn't be compatible between Huawei and Samsung I wouldn't have thought.
i don't know, may be all the infrastructure of the carrier is form Huawei !!!
Hi everyone,
Have a global version of X5 Pro.
Trying to make VoLTE and VoWIFI working on T-Mobile in US but no luck.
No toggles in SIM settings and toggles in Phone Info are grayed out.
Any ideas to activate it?
Same with me, I started another thread or two concerning this issue but I believe it has to do with T-Mobile's VoLTE/Wifi-calling provisioning relative to the Find X5 Pro's firmware?
Of course the phone supports VoLTE and WiFi-Calling, so I'm not sure why at least the latter won't work (or at least have a toggle). If you google 'how to enable WiFi calling', most people tell you to set (or re-set) your E911 address because it's a necessary feature of WiFi calling. Ive done this on the T-Mobile website AND with a support rep on the phone, but still no toggle to enable.
I haven't found anything about this outside of XDA so perhaps it's time to submit a ticket directly to Oppo.
Edit: could anyone from the EU/UK chime in on whether they have the toggle options for VoLTE/WiFi-calling? I think we need to identify whether the problem is based on region/carrier rather than the phone.
Pulled from a recent T-Mobile forum post about the same issue (but on multiple different phones):
"In order to enable WiFi calling from an unlocked phone, there appear to be several components which all need to align perfectly. The the phone must have the physical capability, obviously a WiFi antenna. It also seems to rely on VoLTE provisioned and WiFi calling provisioned abilities.
The former carrier must have unlocked the device and its IMEI for use on another carrier.
The current carrier must have enabled WiFi calling, and also configured an E911 address.
"Exactly! The firmware in the Sprint S8 is not compatible with T-Mobile’s WiFi Calling implementation. XDA might offer some work around through flashing or root, but through normal methods, WiFi Calling on such an old device that actually has carrier specific firmware isn’t going to work with a different carrier for those feature implementations.

Vodafone Germany: Custom Firmware with VF branding, but no SIM- or Netlock
VoLTE has no toggle but is activated by default, VoWiFi has a toggle and works.
