VoLTE & VoWIFI in India on Middle East version(XSG) - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

As the title says, I have SM-G781B version with XSG csc. If I travel to India, will I be able to access VoLTE & VoWiFi services from Airtel & Jio without changing CSC?
I remember in older phones like S8 & S9, there was something called ODM/OMC which was automatically installing correct operator settings to enable VoLTE/Vowifi based on the sim card inserted. Does it work in this phone the same way?

Nevermind. I got an answer from another forum that VOLTE & VOWIFI is accessible in India on XSG csc. Only Samsung pay will not work.

Not have VoLTE in my N950F

Hello
My N950F smartphone does not have VoLTE enabled.
How or with which ROM / Firmware VoLTE is enabled
I have Oreo
Thank you very much in advance
I have a 950F 128 GB, and it came out of the box with no volte enabled, I received a message a month later from my carrier telling me that volte was available for my device but I had to take my device to them for activation, and that was it, I took it to them , they changed the sim card and now volte is active and available, to make this clear, I bought my device from my carrier in prepaid mode, so it is branded but unlocked for any carrier

Automatic configuration of VoLTE

Previously, when importing a Note 9 or S9 from another region, VoLTE is disabled unless correct CSC is changed. Did something change in the S10 generation? As I have seen report of VoLTE working even across CPU model(HK Snapdragon working with UK provider VoLTE)? Seems like correct CSC no longer required for features like VoLTE and VoWiFi? Good news in the near future as 3G networks shutdown and we have to rely on VoLTE for voice calls. :laugh:

VoLTE not supported?

Hi,
I have been trying to get VoLTE working on my
SM-N9600 (bootloader unlocked Snapdragon version)
but I cannot seem to get past this error "Volte is not supported by this software version please contract customer services" I have manually changed out the CSC to my home country but I noticed in the CSC verifier it says unsupported items and list all the VOLTE items has anyone else experienced this?
Yes I am rooted already if required
You need to check if your Cell Provider provides support for VoLTE. As some Cell Networks do not offer that service. If they do, get them to check that it is activated on your SIM.
Got 2 sim cards from different providers
Telecom NZ (Spark NZ) the rep said they have manually activated it on my account
Vodafone NZ Launched and testing SIM in working device

A6 VoLTE and WiFi calling

Hello all,
During my tour in India in 2018 I bought an A6 DUOS (Made in India). I now have this phone back with me in Europe and I read I could have VoLTE on my carrier (Vodafone Romania). Officially, A6 is even listed on their website as VoLTE and VoWifi capable. However, I don't see the option anywhere, and even in the hidden menu the option for VoLTE provisioning is grayed out. The phone is up-to-date. Wondering if there are any option to fix this.
Any ideas are welcome, thank you very much.

Question VoLTE

Has anyone figured out how to force VoLTE on Origin OS Ocean when the phone isn't on the 'supported' list of your carrier? If it is supported then as soon as you pop in their SIM card the option to enable VoLTE appears, but otherwise it just isn't there. With 3g networks shutting down in North America this creates a real problem, because even though I have 5g enabled, and usually pick up a 4g or 5g signal where I live, without VoLTE enabled all calls connect on 3g.
It's a real bummer. But whatever is under the settings, VoLTE is not actually activated. And Vivo is to blame. That's obvious from the service menu.

In Italy after 2/3 days Volte is automatically activated (operator Vodafone). Didn't touch any settings.

The VoLTE issue lies with Vivo, not with your carrier. When you put a carrier SIM into your phone it contains unique information that tells the phone who your carrier is and the phone then configures the APN settings automatically. You cannot edit them. In Origin OS Ocean you can open System/etc/apn-config.xml and you will see a list of every carrier in the world and read what default APN settings the operating system automatically configures the APN for that carrier to be.
I have the Vivo X Note with the same Origin OS Ocean firmware as the X70pro. My Canadian carrier supports VoLTE and WiFi calling and their tech support manually added the IMEI of my phone to the equipment list for my line and assured me that VoLTE and WiFi calling are provisioned for the line, but neither of those toggles appear in my Mobile Networks/Sim settings, because the APN that Vivo applies for my carrier doesn't support VoLTE. If I put the same SIM into my Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5g or my Huawei Mate 20 X and look at the APN settings, they permit VoLTE and the toggle and feature works on those phones - so it is not the carrier, or the SIM - it is Vivo and their default APN settings for your carrier.
I have a strong 5g signal here, and I can download and stream or do VoIP calls at 5g, but when I place a voice call it drops to 3g or H. That isn't an issue here in Canada, because we have kept our 3g voice network up and running. When I travel to the US, however, I can't place calls because without VoLTE enabled voice calls drop to 3g - which no longer exists in the United States. Someone needs to convince Vivo to change the apn-config.xml file to reflect APNs for North American carriers to ensure VoLTE is possible. I would just edit the .xml file myself, but you can't save changes to an .xml file without root, and we can't root because Vivo won't unlock the bootloader for Origin OS Ocean devices.

I don't think it's a Vivo problem. Carriers should give you access. As said before after 2 days I have Volte and HD icon even if device is not ufficial supported. I didn't change or touch anything. If your carrier uses a restricted policy on 5G or Volte there is nothing you can do.

My experience with VoLTE is kinda weird, settings show me that I have both VoLTE and VoWiFi enabled. But none of them really work. It's true that obviously system recognize that, send me a notice that I could have VoLTE enabled and routes me to the message to my provider. And even more thrilled - I can toggle VoLTE in settings, get the HD voice sign in notification bar, but I don't have any VoLTE. The only direct consequence of the toggle is that I lose the caller's name in the phone, every caller becomes the unknown number. But my provider is not trustworthy, the other users have issues with VoLTE, I frankly don't know anyone who has it enabled. Thus, I tried my wife's sim and didn't get even option to enable VoLTE. My wife has a Chinese (Honor) phone and both VoLTE and VoWiFi work with this phone flawlessly. That's why I assume that the problem is on Vivo's side.
