Hi guys,
Seems like a common problem with Xperia phones in that carrier settings on the stock rom the phone ships with doesn't have VOLTE or WIFI Calling enabled so even if your carrier has provisioned it, you can't enable it via *#*#4636#*#*
Does anyone have a fix or something that can be flashed onto the phone to help?

So this is what it is. I imported my Xperia 1 ii from Clove UK and was using it with Verizon didn't get VOLTE and WIFI calling.
I switched to tmobile didn't get VOLTE and WIFI calling, after some research and googling found out that Google Project Fi will give both WIFI calling and VOLTE.
3 days before I ordered my project Fi sim from Google it arrived last night I inserted it into my phone and Voila I get WIFI calling there is a toggle for that and also I am getting VOLTE.
I WAS paying 85 dollars on T-Mobile magenta plus plan on 1 line now I will be paying 80 dollars with Google Fi for 1 line. I am gonna put out a YouTube video tonight for Xperia 1 ii with Google fi.
Umm not everyone wants to switch to Google Fi someone else suggested this but nobody wants to switch lol

I don't know why people don't want to switch, I am talking about single line with taxes included it's 78 dollars for unlimited. Look at Verizon, T-Mobile and att what they are charging for one line. Then only on Fi you get wifi calling and volte with Xperia 1 ii. Those were enough reason for me to switch.
I'm glad it works for you, however, I pay $80 for 3 lines and true unlimited data on Tmobile. Google-Fi makes no sense for me and there are no reports of someone flashing the US firmware to see if it works yet. Some of us are waiting for someone to test it out.

It's just my point of view, even thou Google Fi works on T-Mobile network but there service is just out of this world where ever I have gone with it. No network congestion, Google made Android and they know how to optimize the cellular network.

It'll work. I'd flash the US firmware, but it's still on an old version. I'll flash when I get back stateside at the end of July. VoLTE works on t-mobile as long as you're on US Firmware. Has worked for my XZ3 and 1.
I don't want to switch to Google fi as well.
I attempted to use flash tool to get a customised firmware but was unable to get this working. Have any of you tried the method outlined by Brocnical?
Project Fi is a no go for me as I'm located in Australia.
Keen to get this figured out.

Problem: WiFi calling not working.
I'm currently overseas in the uae right now and will be year for a whole year. I've tried getting my WiFi calling to work on both LP and MM but no luck. I've tried fresh installs, airplane mode toggle, WiFi tether toggle, WiFi toggle and nothing seems to work.
After I finished setting this aosip 6.0 ROM today, I looked at my quick settings and it showed T-Mobile WiFi calling but immediately after that, I had to reboot the device for a layers theme install. After reboot the WiFi calling was gone. I've tried everything I know possible to get it back but no luck.
Anyone ever experience this or can anyone possibly help me out because T-Mobile has already started hitting me for roaming charges.
Please and thank you
My current ROM
wifi calling doesnt matter about your rom, its about your provider. if your provider does not provide wifi calling(like tmobiles wifi calling), then wifi calling will never work.
It's T-Mobile. And I've check with multiple reps who told me that it's active on my account

cool, i had no idea.. now i know
try using google voice instead, I know its boot what you asked about but it's what I used and it has nothing to do with the Rom, it's standalone app
I use T-Mobile Wifi calling in Europe back to the US without issue, but I set it up while still in the US.
Since T-Mobile has a *very* nice international roaming data scheme, I suggest you use Google Voice/Hangouts to avoid incurring roaming charges until you get this fixed,
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.

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 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.

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?

I just use alternative app like Duo from Google Play Store. It works with or without WiFi and the app is make by Google
I've been reading about all the Note 8's (Snapdragon) being the same hardware but different firmwares which can be flashed vice-versa. I'll assume the ESN/MEID of the unlocked models are in Sprint's database. (Still have nightmares trying to activate a Nexus 6P with Sprint)
I'm wondering if it is worth it to get the unlocked model and then flash/ODIN the Sprint firmware (for Wifi-Calling/Calling Plus, and VoLTE, etc).
Why go through this? If I can get the unlocked model cheaper than the Sprint branded version, is it worth it?
I'm on unlocked note 8 with sprint. Activation was simple. easy and no trouble. I do have wifi calling.

As soon as the SIM activates, WiFi calling enables...as soon as LTE Calling is available, I bet we get it too...could be mistaken though...

*73 works but FYI it forwards calls after 23 seconds or if you hit END
*28 is what gvoice recommends which forwards on no answer or busy.
Almost the same thing but you get the busy signal forward as well as when it goes to voicemail with 28. 73 is more of a timeout or on reject.

Sprint WiFi calling already works on unlocked version...for VoIP we are waiting for update...Sprint will enable provisioning for your imei if you call them...mine is enabled awaiting the VoIP update when released...Verizon and AT&T are the only ones having issues with WiFi calling and VoLTE...Video calling is not even offered by Sprint
My unlocked on Sprint has:
Download Booster
WiFi Calling
Hotspot (shortcut master lite method)
HD voice (shortcut master lite enable enhanced lte)
VoIP (provisioned by Sprint but awaiting app (like Sprint's WFC for WiFi calling) to be installed in future update to work)
VVM by Google Voice (Sprint VVM needs root and build prop edit with required files pushed to system folders)
No Video Calling will be available because Sprint and Google agreed for Google duo....which is sometimes better anyways
Duo does work great, have tried with both my wife and father ( both have s8s) . I got email today that my Sprint SIM CARD was shipped but the phone is still on backorder, errrr. Hoping to get update in few days since when i bought it said would be shipped after the 15th.. FINGERS CROSSED!!!
Ps, did you have to do anything to the phone to get the wificalling or hotspot working?? I have hotspot on my sprint plan so i plan on using it for tablets for the kids., and deff want VOLTE when its ready

I know U.S. T-Mobile supported the XZ3 for VoLTE, which was the FIRST Sony unlocked phone it did that for. Your best bet to find out is prob to go check out other like 2019 or 2020 unlocked phones that people have VERIFIED to offer both on AT&T as well. But if that's an issue, then you may wanna consider T-Mobile then. I noticed on the XZ3 that in Call Settings there no longer was the option to turn VoLTE on or off, but during calls it REMAINED in 4G LTE (vs. just 4G), thereby proving VoLTE was in fact enabled.
The US Xperia 1 supported voLTE on T-Mobile, but not WiFi calling. So I'm assuming the mark II would at least do voLTE on T-Mobile. Not sure about the other carriers, but I feel like it would have to since carriers like Verizon are starting to not allowing non voLTE devices to be activated. And the mark II is supposed to work on Verizon.
Easy way to get WiFi calling in the US

How is this a solution? Switching carriers lol
I want to preorder, but really need WiFi calling. Going to wait until regular users start to receive theirs. Right now with Xfinity Mobile we are paying about $30 per month for 5 lines. The service is as good as when we were Verizon postpaid. Not willing to switch just for this phone.

So my Xperia 1 ii arrived today, I'm finishing-up set-up. This is the US model, which I'm using with ATT. The deep dive *#*#7378423#*#* on the software info page states: "Current modem config: VoLTE-ATT "
But have yet to find any configuration for VoLTE or Wi-Fi calling. I'll try a call with one of the other lines in my family, who have ATT branded newish phones, to see if it "sounds" like an HD Voice call (there's not notification bar indicator of HD call, right?).
Update: Tried the other *#*#4636#*#* and the options under Phone Info are all grayed out (sigh)

You have to call ATT to whitelist your new IMEI for VoLTE provisioning. Then you need to make sure a new sim that supports VoLTE. This is what they told me but I'm missing the new sim, going to get one tomorrow
Thank you.,I'll give that a try. My SIM is the supposedly latest, about 2 years old, i. e. "A compatible SIM or eSIM card will display 25, 26, 27, or 28 in the ninth and tenth digits spots." Is there a newer SIM for ATT?
So had the following chat with ATT tech support:
"... Calista : To confirm, was the device purchased through AT&T?
Me : No, this is an unlocked phone, US model of Sony Xperia 1 ii
Calista : Thanks for the confirmation.
Calista : I have successfully activated VoLTE on the new device.
Calista : I have also checked and see that Wi-FIi calling can only be provisioned only on the device that are purchased through AT&T. However, AT&T will soon activate WiFi calling on the device that are not purchased through AT&T as well. You will be notified about this. "
However after power-cycling my phone and reprovisioning via Testing/Phone Information and on that page the steps of Refresh to get the SMSC number then tap Trigger Carrier Provisioning"--nothing, not VoLTE live switch. Remains gray. Still, interesting comment by tech support about upcoming Wi-Fi calling on BYOE.

Those tech support chats are useless! Took me 4 calls/chat to get to one knowledgeable one who said they have to file a level 3 tech support ticket and as she was doing it she said our internal memo said this cannot be done for non-AT&T branded phones so I'm sorry
Why not just use Google Voice for wifi calling? I use Google Voice for just about everything now as it's a nice alternative to giving up my number to random businesses.
Is it possible, to install the VoLTE/VoWifi carrier settings by an app (as .apk)?
My problem is that Sony didn't include these settings for Swiss carriers. So I am thinking about, how to add these settings without breaking the firmware.

VoLTE is required to continue to use AT&T after they sunset 3G and 4G (without VoLTE). Speaking of Google, they've confirmed to me that this phone (US version) works fine on their Google Fi, supporting VoLTE, which is interesting in that Google Fi is an MVNO via Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular.
So if I give ATT an IMEI for a Nokia Lumia 830 or Microsoft Lumia 640XL (both on AT&T's "good" list) to associate with my SIM in my Xperia, will my Xperia be provisioned by AT&T with VoLTE & Wi-Fi calling?
Hey all,
I'm curious if anyone is willing to chime in to let me know if they are running the US unlocked model: SM-G781U1 on Verizon. I have an existing activated Verizon sim card (currently in a Pixel 4 XL) and could easily put it in a US unlocked model. I'm mostly considering the unlocked model since it seems like it's easier to get better deals on it and I tend to prefer unlocked models. I suspect it will work fine, maybe without some 5G bands but that's of no concern for me. Can anyone confirm if they have this setup and if wifi calling works? Sometimes I have seen Verizon block wifi calling on unlocked phones and for me at least this is an important feature because of my lack of cell signal where I'm at.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some light.
I am and it does give you the option to set up wifi calling. I set it up and was able to make a call while in airplane mode. No 5G though. Still says LTE.
Thanks so much for that info. That is really helpful and gives me the extra confidence that it's the next right phone for me. I love my Pixel 4 XL but want something new and am also thinking I may actually utilize Dex a bunch so we'll see. I appreciate you taking the time to test that for me.

Samsung is telling me that it doesn't work and never will, but verizon is telling me that they have hundreds of these phones working with wifi calling.
I believe Verizon and you! and want samsung to do something to fix my phone which is clearly not working the way it should. They have asked me to verify that it is even possible.
Please post images of your phone model # with wifi calling working.
