I am uncertain which information is true or false, but thought I would ask here. I realized I may be missing a few features when I bought the unlocked Note 8. However, I was under the impression that I could somehow enable things like HD voice and Video Calling.
If I am able to do this, can someone provide a link to a guide I can follow for the Note 8? I realize there are third party apps. But, I was hoping to achieve the above naively.
I'm Currently with AT&T, but prefer the ability to Hot-Spot by using an unlocked version of the Note. Hopefully someone who has enabled this can chime in.
I currently have an ATT Note 8 and I have a similar question. I want to flash the unlocked firmware so I can use it on T-Mobile. I've looked online and couldn't find an answer hope someone here can help us.
So my understanding is that AT&T only allows things like HD Voice, Video Calling, VoLTE, Wi-Fi Calling, etc. On their branded device's. It's why I actually didn't get the unlocked device even though I previously had a Note 7.

This was my understanding as well, but, I thought someone came up with a clever way of enabling these features. Hot spot and the ability to jump carriers were more important features than the others... which is why I went with unlocked. Am stuck in an unlimited data plan with AT&T for one more year. Unfortunately, they don't allow any kind of hotspot with unlimited plan.
Since the phone just became available and only to few people (BTW I'm still waiting), you guys have to wait , because since all those are hacks, phones have to get to right hands and then may take some time to figure things out, unless any of you have enough knowledge, then head to S8/S8+ forum and try using those solutions on your Note 8, may even work.
When I booted my Note 8 with T-mobile sim card, it applied some carrier customization and enabled VoLTE and WiFI calling but video calling is missing which I don't use much anyways.
You can usually do this via the service modes:
Dial *#0011# may work
Press the Menu key and then Back
Press Menu again then Key input and enter the value 1.
Wait a little
Press Menu and then Back
Press DEBUG SCREEN
Press WB-AMR SETTINGS
Press WB-AMR ENABLE
This use to work on previous models.
(In the UK being shafted by a long wait for my Note 8)
I thought many of the methods wouldn't work since AT&T uses whitelists on their system and it's not just the features are missing from the OS.
I tried the *#0011# and was able to get all the way to debug. That screen or option is not showing up on my unlocked note 8.

I know the S8 crowd has been flashing the carries specific CSC/CP files through a modified ODIN on top of the UNLOCKED firmware. I'm sure this will work on the note 8 as well. The modem should enable all the carrier specific bands and the CSC should enable the wifi calling and VOLTE. on a side note, check in the settings menu for the wifi calling. when I flashed the T mobile CP over the U firmware, I did not have a WIFI calling quick toggle but I did have wifi calling the in the regular settings menu. I had to toggle it on and off that way.

Are you on an old grandfathered in AT&T unlimited plan? I have a new Unlimited plan and they offer lots of goodies including a 10GB/month hotspot for each phone.
Check them out: https://www.att.com/plans/unlimited-data-plans.html
You should not be stuck in any plan now for a year or any time frame. Change when you want to change.
Here's a link to information for Flashing the Unlocked Firmware and Carrier Switching on the Snapdragon S8+ (no rooting necessary). https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/carrier-switch-snapdragon-t3615680
Probably going to be similar with our Note 8s.
Im on Verizon and I cant see wifi calling or HD voice aka VOLTE. Maybe we just need to wait.
This may help for people looking for video calling

I had to download the app "shortcut master". Navigate to to IMS Settings, click RCS Configuration and enabled everything. I also can see the WB settings under "DM Configuration" under the IMS settings but they are relabeled as xxx_WB and instead of enabled/disabled, it is a 0 or 1. I believe the 1 is enabled. Probably need to restart as well but I am uncertain.
The outstanding question I have is do I need to change HD_VOICE under the DM configuration from a 0 to 1 as I see that there as well.

I downloaded the shorcut master. However when i try to change anything, it says SU: not found. I also saw in there about the HD voice enabled. But am not able to launch any type of editor. I have the note 8 unlocked version, using straight talk sim card on verizon towers. I would love to be able to talk on the phone and surf the internet at the same time.
anyone able to get this working on the unlocked version?
I have video calling & HD Voice working on unlocked model with VZW SIM on gUDP, I almost had WiFi Calling working; but broke video calling. I'm hoping to get both working; WiFi Calling works with T-Mobile SIM out of the box. I haven't messed with my AT&T SIM to see if any of the features work; but maybe this week I will.

How did you get video calling working. I still have yet to successfully place the call.
I got a n950U1 unlocked note 8 ( not rooted) which is a snapdragon version. I am not living in the states but bought my mobile in my holidays and was wondering how to get wifi calling on this phone. My carrier has it available as i was using it on my previous mobile, and can still use if i use my sim in iphone. I heard that the t-mobile version has it but how can i activate the setting or get an apk which can enable this setting for me? Is the app completely missing or any secret setting needs to be enabled?
Or is there a different way to enable this feature? I know that the N950F version has it but why not this one? I wasn't aware that there are differences in such options.
Also unlocked N950U1 is able to use wifi calling.
If not yet upgraded to Oreo, you can enable Wifi calling in IMS settings, using Shortcut Master app. (Search this forum for thread)
Setting will then be in Phone/Calling app, not in the general phone Settings.
After Oreo I no longer can access the IMS settings, but luckily Wifi calling remained enable after FW upgrade.
I have tried to enable via shortcut master but the app itself to make wifi calling seems to be missing. There is no setting to enable in IMS settings

I also have SM-N950U1 and I have NEVER seen or found the WiFi calling in this device, regardless of version Nouget or Oreo. I have read also a few months ago that using Shortcut maker it "should" be able to work but I also have had no success with this. You are able to find bits and pieces of WiFi calling but no actual app for it to work.
As I stated, the setting is in the Phone / calling app. In Shortcut Manager look for "WfcPref".
Not really a solution but more of a bandaid , maybe resort to flashing the t mobile firmware if all avenues have been exhausted?

I also have checked that option but there is no actual app launching, it is all tutorials or help files. I suppose it is not included within the firmware. Or maybe it is because i haven't initialize it with a t-mobile sim card. I was just hoping that maybe there is some sort of apk app by which we can have it.
This is all i get in shortcut master
Just to add also the phone/ calling app screenshot and the connections/ more connections screen
Here is what i noticed.
Note: I'm on note8 exynos csc xme
I use dual sim.
Sim1 do not support wifi calling
Sim2 supports wifi calling
I have wifi calling setting to switch it on only when i switch everything to sim2, data messages and calls.

It's restricted by 2 factors. Your telco and csc.
Obviously to have wifi calling ur mobile operator must support this and allow ur phone number to use this function.
Second is the csc of your phone. Some branded phone restrict this, they do it via csc code. U can look around on this forum there is ppl that manage to decrypt the csc files edit it and load it back. Root required for this.

Hi again,
My telco has it as i was using on my iphone. The problem is with the note 8, There is no functional app or apk for this when i do a search on shortcut master. After rooting will i be able to get the wifi calling app from somewhere after editing the csc?
Or is it much easier if i change the firmware with tmobile branded and then use my phone with it. Do you think i will get the app then by editing the csc file?
Or will it still not work as it is t mobile branded.
This is so annoying, it should have been much easier and with much more freedom, why is this wifi calling even missing as app, they already can disable if the telco doesnt support it. I never had such issue before
With Note 8 N950U1 you should have wifi calling without any problems.
Check with T-Mobile site how it works and what to do, i.c. check the requirements.. Did you put in 911 address?

Hi vash
My wifi calling is working well on sim 1 until I change this sim card to slot 2, then changed call/text and data to SIM 2,
(because I inserted SD card with 2 sim cards now, my another sim card was issued by another country, cannot get new one, so I cut the SIM 1 and moved to SIM 2)
Then wifi calling disappeared, it's gone..
Looks wifi calling will be working on SIM 1 only.

I'm sorry.
WiFi calling is working for SIM 2 as well.
Depends on the WiFi internet connection quality.

yup.. wanted to ask you to check internet connection quality. if the connection is not good wifi calling doesnt work. most of the time when i am overseas, hotel wifi is not good enough for wifi calling.. thus kind of useless for me.

Yes, thanks.
But probably not only internet quality, I think carrier will check some certificate or something.
Because no WiFi calling icon when I'm using the employee WiFi in office, I logon with my user name and password, and sometimes public WiFi is also not working for WiFi calling,
On the main screen click on bottom left call icon to make a call. Then go to setting on top right 3 dots down. You will see wifi calling enable or disabled. You can turn on or off. If it can help someone. I was looking everywhere and it didnt help, but eventually found it. It's not in connection and more setting like some place stated.
Hey guys,
yesterday I got my new Mi 8 <3 It's really nice...
I wanted to check if I can use wifi calling, but there is no option for it in settings. I can search for it but there is only text as you can see in the screenshot.
I checked the "hidden menu" under *#*#4636#*#* but the option is greyed out, too.
I'm living in Germany with Vodafone and wifi calling is included in my plan.
Any hints? Is wifi calling working for you?
Thanks
I think the Mi8 is not supported by Vodafone.
I don't get it :/ Other Xiaomi phones are working, too. I thought Xiaomi have to implement the profiles? I don't know why this is always so hard, Android does support VoWifi since some major versions natively
It was one point, why I bought the Mi8 instead of the OP6. I hope it will get it fast

No, "HD" usually means VoLTE which is a completely different thing. Could you please try to enable flight mode and after that ONLY enable WiFi? If you are still able to make / receive calls, than WiFi Calling is working.
Tried build.prop change, Wifi-Calls enabled and preferred *#*#4636#*#* shows the switch enabled, but (three dots - IMS status) shows VoWifi "not available". VoLTE works same as before (without build.prop tweak). I checked both O2 and Vodafone Germany.
Seems there is no solution for VoWifi at the moment.
Come on, don't destroy my hopes Too bad...

My friend I don't think that the Wi-Fi calling works like that. The phone must recognize that you have sim card in your phone. I think that If you enable the aeroplane mode the phone doesn't recognize the SIM card. I am not 100% sure thought.
Yesterday I tried it with latest Xiaomi.eu rom and Magisk Module (to write build.prop entries).
I can enable VoWIFI in settings but if I try to call someone from wifi I only get an error message.
Very sad that it not work
Did anyone get this working?
I'm using Mi8 in UK on "Three" & "EE" - neither support the handset.
Can it be forced to work? Point me in the right direction if possible. Thanks
On MIUI ROMs it's not possible to get it to work. I installed Pixel3ROM some minutes ago and try to enable it there
Please keep us updated!
I didn't know it is possible to use different types of ROM on the phone.
Of course it's possible, but at the moment it still doesn't work Maybe I have to try another ROM
I'm on eu rom. when i install volte enabler magisk module (in repo), i got wifi calling feature in sim settings which actually works

Hi, guys.
Just wondering if any of you have working VOLTE/WIFI calling on your Pixel 5.
I'm on Vodafone UK and none of these are working, I don't get the options for the two in Network settings.
Apparently, they are not provisioned ATM.
Have you had more luck with your operators?

Yeah, I had a feeling going with Vodafone is a mistake...
Working here with O2. They have a guide on the Vodafone website for the Pixel 4 so can't see why it doesn't work with the 5. https://deviceguides.vodafone.co.uk...ress the phone icon.&text=Press Wi-Fi calling.
Well, it's Vodafone. Apparently one of their geniuses has to add a line of code somewhere..
Anyway, the guide for P4 asks for activation from within the phone app's settings and the Wifi calling/Volte settings are missing from there on the Pixel 5.
On BT Mobile i have Wi-Fi calling after turning it on in the mobile network settings, the VoLTE option is also there, it is greyed out but set to the on position.

option is found under Settings, Network and Internet, Mobile Network, Advanced, Wi-Fi Calling
I'm on Vodafone and I don't have settings for WiFi calling either. Funnily enough when I got text message from Vodafone to download internet settings they didn't even have the pixel 4a/ 4a 5g or 5 on there.. so that's probably why people on Vodafone can't enable it because Vodafone themselves haven't added the phones on for WiFi calling

Okay so update for Vodafone users, I got it working.
Following the second link above, 1. Go into Vodafone app and turn off WiFi calling, restart phone. 2. Go back into Vodafone app and turn back on WiFi calling (wait for 3/5 minutes and then restart phone again (you should receive a text from Vodafone saying it's enabled on your account). 3. Go to call app > settings> calls>WiFi calling>enable.
It also shows on networking settings in advanced now too.
Now I'm connected to WiFi calling, hope this helps Vodafone users

At least they have in my case.

What an arse i am, turns out the other caller was using their phone on speakerphone, made a few calls since and VoLTE is working just fine on BT Mobile.
Neither is working for me as well, but was working fine on my old phone.
What I noticed on my device is that it came from Google with the "KDDI only" build on it(see https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-5/help/kddi-variant-t4178033), which I suspect might be related to the issue.

Hello
I just got this phone and set it up. Its a Global version 13.0.4 SKDMIXM.
I am on TMoblie USA - the phone is working great on LTE and 5G .
I am not able to see the Network preference under wifi calling where is can select Prefered Wifi Calling.
It appears that its running on default Prefered Cellular - because I can only see the VoLTE symbol on top.
Can someone help me in fixing this configuration to select Prefered Wifi Calling ? TIA

Hello, I'm using a 11T Pro Dual SIM India model with India SIM in Slot 1 and TMO SIM in Slot 2.
I have not found the specific setting to make Wifi Calling "Preferred" but, my phone does indicate Vo WiFi even when I have Wifi connected and Mobile Data turned on too once Wifi Calling is enabled as below.
Apparently the Voice Over WiFi Settings (at least here on my phone) only show up for SIM 1, does not show for SIM 2.
Attached are sample screenshots where the Settings are under SIM 1.
Steps to get there-
Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Click on SIM 1
All the way down, last Setting is "Wi-Fi Calls" to enable "Make calls using Wi-Fi".
Hope this helps.

Hello
I just got this phone and set it up. Its a Global version 13.0.4 SKDMIXM.
I am on TMoblie USA - the phone is working great on LTE and 5G .
I am not able to see the Network preference under wifi calling where is can select Prefered Wifi Calling.
It appears that its running on default Prefered Cellular - because I can only see the VoLTE symbol on top.
Can someone help me in fixing this configuration to select Prefered Wifi Calling ? TIA

Operators can disable this menu if they want to lock you onto Wifi preferred or cellular preferred. Does this only happen with this phone or does it also happen with the SIM in another Android phone?

There's a possibility of TMO-US not supporting WiFi calling on the Xiaomi 11T (Global), perhaps.
Although, I have been using various Unlocked phones (Nokia & Samsung) on TMO-US for the past few years & have practically never had issues with WiFi calling on any. Shall have to test it once I'm back. Won't be for some time.
Is your phone on the latest firmware? Try updating it to check if there's a new update available
which hopefully can solve your issue.
Couple of options to test, in case you have not already tested them-
a) leave WiFi Calling Enabled then disable the VoLTE feature and check if WiFi calling works?
b) disable Mobile Data, WiFi Calling enabled with WiFi connected and check if WiFi Calling works.
c) some users have had to ensure their E911 address is correctly in place on the TMO account too.

I had a working One Plus 6 - so I know TMO has VoWifi - I use it a lot due to poor reception at home .
The current workaround to force VoWIFI is
Turn On Airplane MOde
Turn ON WiFi only
then it works in VOWIFI with out any issues
I know I am missing a menu Item that can toggle this setting . I would prefer having that setting but its not a breaker for now . The phone works with all the Network features of TMO , LTE , 4G , 5G etc . No visual voicemail thats all.
Thanks

Thanks - this code is what got me to where I am now . I think from other articles - the mbn config may require some tweaking - but it refuses to give me access to it when i use *#*#663368378#*#*
Same access issue here too.
Wish you luck.
Pinging to see if there is a soln. in future.
