Hi guys,
I just wonder if M9 supports VoLTE calling. My carrier told me that HTC M9 will never support this function because I have to have stock rom literally from my Vodafone Czech carrier. But it seems to me that in that case nobody with alternative roms could use this function so my question is..does it support VoLTE if I will root my device and install some patch what I've seen here for volte support or do I have to install another Rom which supports VoLTE or any other ideas? Does my carrier have to really support precisely my model or is it just software issue on my side? I have newest Android 7 stock. Thanks for all replies!
Yes, the M9 absolutely supports VoLTE. Disclaimer: I have one on the desk next to me fully operational on a large carrier in the USA.
Given that, your network and your device work in unison to make the 'magic' work. You'll need an IMS APN programmed in the device, and one in the LTE network that validates the new default (signalling) bearer. My suggestion is to chat with a knowledgeable tech support rep. at your carrier, and be sure to ask if there's extra charge for the VoLTE. Since carriers understand that legacy circuit switched infrastructure has a limited future, they *should* be willing to move all your voice/SMS/MMS over to the IMS/LTE network they've invested in.
Best of luck.

Thanks for detail info. VoLTE is new in our country so I couldn't get any tech info even from my carrier. And I already found out that VoLTE isn't extra charged and even video calls are for the same price so that's great but I have to find precise info about IME apn setting. I hope somebody tell me precise settings. Thanks for info again!
Volte is carrier dependent. Both phones must be capable, both carriers must be capable. The problem is that Volte is not cross carrier at the moment so you and the person you're calling must both be on the SAME carrier, the carrier must be Volte capable, both with Volte compatible phones, both in a 4g signal area.
4g is a data only protocol with voice capabilities "patched" in to it. 4g was NEVER designed to carry voice signals so don't expect carriers to be in a hurry to implement Volte when 5g is just around the corner.
As to the answer to your question. Yes, The m9 is in fact Volte capable so it is purely down to the carrier investing in new technology. Carriers are NOT obliged to roll out Volte in any case. It is purely a case of demand vs supply. We already have a perfectly good 2g-3g infrastructure for voice and data so 4g only offers better data connections depending on signal strength. I think a lot of carriers are going to hold back for a while until the technology becomes proven or more so, an ISO standard is put in place.

Thanks for answer. My carrier already support VoLTE technology and we also have around 95% coverage of LTE infrastructure and I know both must have VoLTE support and LTE connection.
What I am trying to is use this technology if I am able to. My carrier told me it's not possible because my phone is old for it but I've read few articles that it's possible.
What I don't know if I need some option in settings (rom implemented settings) to activate it because I don't have any inside, on the other side when I go to cellular info through *#*#4636#*#* I have info about IMS and also about VoLTE what I can switch off.
So generally is it enough to find out how to setup IMS APN in settings to run VoLTE on my device or do I need also ROM which have implemented in settings VoLTE on/off?
Maybe I just don't get it correctly but I would like to have precise info what I need to get from my carrier to set up IMS APN on my device to run VoLTE if it's possible of course.
Hope it is understandable.
So no need to any special futures implemented in Android. It's enough to set up APN for IMS and LTE bearer.
The only device that needs adjusting for volte is the dev edition, i believe.
Otherwise this device is completely volte compatible. Maybe your carrier representative is confused..

So I finally talked with someone who knows more technical info from my carrier but he told me that it's all about radio bearers, channels of phone (don't know precise terminology) and my phone has to be unlocked for that channel, so it's kind of firmware problem because in our country isn't firmware unlocked for that channels yet. And nobody knows if it will be. Also each carrier has different channel for that and that's why it's incompatible with the same phone from another carrier.
I've seen also some utility to change that radio settings over PC with debugging mode on but don't know more info about it. So I guess I can try this for a last option.
If your phone is locked to carrier and branded then there is a possibility they've switched volte off but if your firmware region is 401 then your carrier rep is talking s**t as all 401 wwe (unbranded) phones are volte ready and it is the carrier who is lacking the technology.

Thank you, I don't have for now rooted M9, because I bough it recently and until now I tried to find out all option if it's possible in some way but I'll do it and try it later. Thank you very much for your help!
So I've tried and it doesn't work, no VoLTE , no Wi-Fi calling, so I am not sure what could be wrong. I can see setup in system and it's enabled but none of this works. Is there any log or anything what I can explore why it's not working? My carrier has a app for Wi-Fi calling so I wouldn't need it as a part of system but there could be setup which I need also for VoLTE if I get it right. Or is there any other flashable file for trying?

VoLte And Video Call in Verizon M9
Hi Guys,
i have tried t-mobile rom for volte it worked great. also i notices that if i am changing firmware , volte is not working , as the volte options are still showned, when i get back to t-mobile firmware its worked. so i also searched that t-mobile rom has integrated IR92 lte support for volte, RCS integration and many things. Were i found that Verizon version has Integrated IR94 lte support for voice and video call over lte.
So Can any one help me further for this.

I have an AT&T running latest firmware unlocked rooted s-off the whole nine yards and my VoLTE will not work I can go into *#*#4636#*#* and turn on the provisions for it but when I exit it turns back off I guess I'm going to have to go back stock cause this sux I bet I've missed 15 calls today!
Hi guys.
Let me elaborate my question.
1. I am totally aware that VoLTE on Android at the moment generally requires the handset to be from the carrier, or from the same region as the carrier for it to have the correct VoLTE (and VoWIFI) settings.
2. I am also totally aware that since Android 6.0, there actually has been a provision to allow carriers to send carrier settings to the user. I also know that this isnt being widely used.
After my ownership of my Pixel XL, I moved to a HTC U11, which I have flashed a custom ROM. This custom ROM managed to have the carrier settings for VoLTE for my carrier baked in.
I am keen on getting a Pixel XL2, so Im keen to see what the Pixel community is doing to enable VoLTE on networks that arent stocking the Pixel or Pixel XL.
Here in Australia, both generations of the pixel seem like they will be Telstra exclusives. and I am not inclined to go on their network!
Thanks for any assistance!
I use it with T-Mobile, only Verizon stocks it in the States. Volte works fine for me. Nothing i needed to do other than to setup the phone with the Sim card in the device.
Same here, got it with my T-Mobile SIM card.
This worked for me. Go to dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Turn on VoLTE
Turn on Video Calling
Turn on Wi-Fi Calling
Exit
I'm on Oreo 8.1 on my P2 XL, looks like it's already enabled. I'm on AT&T.

Change carrier. AFAIK you'll never get enhanced LTE services using a non-AT&T branded phone on their network. Once I switched my pixel xl to T-Mobile things like that and wifi calling worked fine.
My condolences to your Pixel XL 2. I was in a Verizon store the other day just to check out PXL2. The blue tint when turning the phone horizontally - horrific. Also, barely faster than my Pixel XL, even if you care for that kind of thing (speed.)

If you can get root on your phone, flash magisk and there is a module in there to install that can enable VoLte and Wifi calling, worked for me on AT&T.

Depends if you're on Verizon or straight talk or what. I'm on straight talk and they don't offer VOLTE even though they use Verizon towers.
Using *#*#4636#*#*, the VoLTE provisioned option is greyd out. Anyone has a solution for this?

It means your operator is not offering VoLTE, or, as in my case, Pixel XL is not approved by the operator. I have VoLTE on my SIM enabled and working with operator approved devices but network rejects Pixel as not compatible one.

Operator offers VoLTE and it doesn't filter IMEI like in some cases. Other not approved devices (e.g xiaomi, oneplus) managed to enable volte via shortcuts. I am asking for a similar workaround. --thanks
Of you're on Straight Talk you're SOL. They don't offer it even if you're using a Verizon SIM
If you had geryed provisioning options you need to use magisks voenabler. a did it right now on december pie update. Now I have all enabled. Just waiting for operator to enable volte for my number. I wonder it will active.
Hi, my carrier does support VoLTE but the Pixel is not on its whitelist.
When dialing *#*#4636#*#* and going into phone info, the switches for "VoLTE Provisioned" is off and greyed out, but at the top of this screen I see "Voice Network Type: LTE". Does that mean I am getting VoLTE? I cannot see any other sign or symbol when calling. (I know some devices have a VoLTE symbol either in the status bar or during a call)
So is it possible to enable wifi calling and/or VoLte on stock 8.1 rooted or any firmware of the pixel without being on Verizon? I am on AT&T so just wondering if there is a mod or something I can do to enable it.
Magisk has a module that can do that; VoEnabler .... this module will enable access to the features in the pixel, in Dialer, settings, etc. * but that doesn't mean you can actually use them;
First, check that your carrier/service actually supports the feature .... You can check with a secret code though; in Dialer;
*#*#4636#*#*
Then navigate to "Phone Information"... from there scroll down;
you should see the stuff for VOLTE, Wifi Calling, Video Calling, etc. If it's enabled then you may be good to go..
but if your carrier doesn't support it - enabling it via VoEnabler will do nothing to change that.
Also, I don't know about the US, but in Canada - some carriers (under some plans) do charge extra for this stuff.

It is all carrier dependant, i got my XL from Verizon and I'm on TMO and wifi calling and volte is working but I don't think att supports the pixels for volte and wifi calling

Sort of this. Basically AT&T will not support VoLTE or WiFi calling on any unbranded unlocked devices brought onto their network. Never worked on my T-Mobile Note 4 nor my Google purchased Pixel XL. I was a long time subscriber to their service but once my dependency on MMS messaging increased I had no choice but to switch to another carrier. I wound up on Verizon after a brief time with T-Mobile. Both support full functionality of these devices.

Before installing magisk I dialed that number and they were all greyed out, I installed magisk installed the module and now VoLte and Wifi calling are both enabled in that menu and in the settings menu. I tested wifi calling and it worked. So maybe just need the module installed and it will work. That's what worked for me.

Cool. glad to hear my advice helped... but also using the secret code in the Dialer would've verified if your carrier supports it on their network, beforehand; that's why I posted in that step...
also, just as a reminder; I'd make sure that there aren't any hidden fees associated with using those features, I don't know much about US carriers; aside from that they are (generally) against Net Neutrality.... But I know with my particular carrier, in Canada; If i wasn't using the plan that I am on; they would be charging me extra - and it would add up quick... so best to double check, maybe.

I have no idea: I live in Canada and have never dealt with US carriers ~ that's something that you will need to verify on your own. Some may allow it; some may not... you guys do things quite a bit different south of the border, so I just don't know....
You should be able to find that out in the support/QA area of your Carrier's website ~ if not there, you can ask them directly.
but yeah, obviously, if it was working on your S7 - then your network supports it....
Hello, I am on Vodafone UK, recently my area is getting poor 4G coverage so the vodafone tech guy asked me to shift on wifi calling inside the house. He enabled it from carrier perpective but I have to enable it on handset as well. I struggled to find the option. Now using the secret code above I can see I have wifi calling option greyed out. btw, I am on stock android 8.1. What is the best and least intrusive way to get the wifi calling working on my handset.
I am not a developer but have experience with root on previous devices. If I have to install Magisk( is there a non-root option?) what module etc I need to install to get this working please..

Flash magisk and get the module called VoEnabler just sear h VoLte in the search bar it should pop up then after it installs restart phone and you should have the options.
Hi Praveenjohri - did you get this to work?
I too have a Pixel XL and on Vodafone UK; again the wifi calling option is greyed out.
Any layman guides as to how to Flash magisk and go about enabling this? Thanks in advance
Is or has anyone else been able to get VoLTE working on T-Mobile US on this model specifically? LTE and WiFi Calling work in general, but the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" toggle isn't there to allow VoLTE. The model has the same number of bands as the XT1710-01 model, but is on the RETLA channel, by the way.
Hi, actually I was having similar issues. VoLTE, seems to be different but is based on your Carrier mostly. If you call someone from a different carrier it may not be enabled. I'm with AT&T, whenever I call someone with AT&T and we are both with good 4g LTE, in the call, changes the status to HD. But, just with AT&T. At least that's how it Works for me. We should wait someone to confirm is this is how other carries behave.

Apologies for the late reply. Definitely no VoLTE or HD voice between me and other T-Mobile users. No matter what I tried it just never came up. If anyone's considering using this specific variant of the phone in the US, I'd be aware of the limits beforehand.

-06 is a North American dual sim variant, correct?
Are both SIM cards on t-mobile?
Could one use SIMS from different carriers?

-06 is a North American dual sim variant, correct. Updates should go through ATT Mex, I believe. And yes, you can use sims from other carriers. I used one sim card when I tried it and only utilized one of the sim slots as a result. T-Mo VoLTE just doesn't seem to have been certified for that variant.
So T-Mobile WIFI calling works on this variant of the Z2 Play? If so that is good to know especially when traveling overseas even if some other advanced features don't work.
I have an XT1710-06 retla device and I can confirm that wifi calling with T-mobile does *NOT* work on my device. There is a setting to enable wifi calling, but it never seems to connect and all calls still go over mobile. This is 100% testable if I for instance go into a deep basement that has wifi but no cellular signal -- I can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls or SMS, even though I have wifi calling turned on.
This is probably related to why VoLTE doesn't work either.
Also (as mentioned in another thread) still no updates for it past February 7.1.1 update. No later security updates and no Oreo updates.

Hi,
I'm super curious how did you get your Z2 Play to have VoLTE. I 've tried everything - new sim, IMEI of ATT branded phone, activated SIM on ATT phone, etc. , to no avail. I'm so frustrated and about to get another phone, because my HSPA signal is much weaker than LTE where I'm at and constantly have missed (straight to voicemail) or dropped calls. Please, let me know how did you get it to work.
Thanks
Maybe the problem is VolTE itself. As I tested. Unless both phones are with the same carrier and working good over 4G (good signal area) you can't get it working. At least in where I live that was true for a friend's phone and mine. So VolTE was good, until signal dropped hard. But impossible to work with other carriers.
Even it was good under Lineage OS and tested with Toxyc OS, but I saw the main thing is that 4G LTE should be firstly working fine. And same for anyone you call. Otherwise call will be normal. And for 4G LTE it depends on area support too.
Sorry for late reply

This is 100% testable if I for instance go into a deep basement that has wifi but no cellular signal -- I can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls or SMS, even though I have wifi calling turned on.
This is probably related to why VoLTE doesn't work either.
Also (as mentioned in another thread) still no updates for it past February 7.1.1 update. No later security updates and no Oreo updates.

Same phone (XT1710-06 retla, rooted stock ROM on Oreo), and wifi calling on Tmobile also doesn't work for me. I can enable it in Settings, but I cannot send SMS or make calls over wifi with no cell service. After a while (a few hours) I get a Moto Settings notification that it can't enable Wifi calling, with a message underneath that says "Enabling." I can't dismiss the notification, only snooze it for up to 2 hours, and after I disable wifi calling it does eventually go away after a couple days.
Your problem is because none of the XT1710 variations have the 600MHz Band 71. It is the most recently added band and very few phones currently out there support it yet. As far as the HD voice issues mentioned...both people on the call have to be using a Volte supported phone and then HD automatically activates.
Ok so I'm very disappointed that the WiFi Calling function (VoWifi) has been disabled in this phone, along with Volte, take a look in your phone information by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and you will see that they're both there but disabled. You can enable Volte by dialing *#*#86583#*#* and you will see an enhanced 4g LTE Mode option appear in network settings and get HD (calling) in the status bar when on 4g, depending on your network.
BUT, there seems no way to enable WiFi calling? There is a Magisk module available called voenabler which I have installed, it has enabled the wifi calling menu, but when I make a call with no mobile network I get the message "Mobile network not available. Connect to a wireless network to make a call" as opposed to the usual "Mobile network no available" So it seems that it's trying, but not seeing my network?
I know it can provider dependant, I get HD calling and IMS registration, just seems like an odd error msg, can anyone shed any light on this please?
From my research it seems that this could be an AndroidOne license thing, my Brother has bought a P20 lite and it works out of the box, are Google saving the functions for it's flagship Pixels or network contract phones? Wouldn't surprise me, maybe Pie will switch it on....... Doubt it.
I'm surprised that there is not more activity on this thread.
WiFi calling is very convenient in poor signal areas but as you say it seems to be disabled on this phone.
I'm now using A2 lite as my daily phone, VOLTE working great but lack of WiFi calling a real disappointment.
Just for mental support, I'm also very disappointed that this feature is missing. I really need this feature in my well isolated home. I have to go outdoors to make phone calls.....
Under debug (*#*#INFO#*#*) it's indeed still locked. Disabled carrier check for VOLte as you said with *#*#86583#*#* though.
Yes I've all but given up... I've had the phone months but not used it.
I'll keep it until the pie update, a comment on the pie thread said that it enabled volte with a working ims, I asked but no one confirmed wether or not vowifi was enabled or switchable in the info settings.
Trouble is there is no information about vowifi in any other android one phone? If I knew it was available I'd buy a Nokia 6.1 plus for example.
Reset phone back to factory, installed Pie ota, both volte and vowifi are disabled as in Oreo. Real shame as this A2 is a cracking phone for the price, but I'll have to find something else. Preferably AndroidOne with WiFi calling!
VoLTE & WiFI Calling not working for T-Mobile USA. Even 2G/3G calling is spotty at best. If you want to use the Mi A2 Lite for calling on T-Mobile in USA, good luck. 4G LTE, data, MMS/SMS are flawless, however calling is really bad.
Wifi calling is working fine, if you're supported the toggles show up in google phone.
I used magisk module voenable although I don't think it did anything, could be wrong but wifi calling and volte working great
Thanks Boe!
I see you're in the Uk, what network are you on? Contract / sim only? I've tried most in my A2 Lite and none worked but they were just payg sims. I haven't tried the voenabler again after installing Pie.
Both networks are contract ,Vodafone uk and EE UK, they both have wifi 4g calling enabled in there provider account , plus didn't work untill I dialed that number , flashed magisk also with module voenable. I didn't check for wifi option in Google phone before magisk so don't know if it helped or not. Reading in xiomi forum, it's disabled for certain countries including UK even though it's a global use phone, which is rediculous.Have a look in your provider account if you have one, or create an account so you have access to sim provider config.
Latest beta v27 Google phone if that helps.
Cheers. I'm on BT uk and have vowifi enabled as I've put my sim in an iphone and it went on wifi calling. My brother has ee, I'll try his card.
They seem to have done something new for Pie as previously only one sim could get 4g? Looks like I'll have to re-install magisk and try voenable again, was it simple in pie with the different bootimage?

Same process but with 10.20 patched boot in pie dump thread, i still made my own though, seems logical to use your own patched boot. Although check to make sure its the right size as first time i did it, the patch had zero bytes. Wifi calling enables on both sims and hd calling, i assume its just a bug, sometimes it works as expected and sometimes it enables everything on both sims lol, battery goes quick. Wish i could get nfc on it but theres no chip so thats a no go. As long as you dont mess with the system partition outside of magisk ota's will be more simple to sort out, keep stock boot as back up on pc and phone. Busy box is one file in sbin folder if you install it.

I can confirm that Wifi Calling works on Orange Poland after installing VoEnabler module in Magisk:
Cheers Guys!
Reinstalled Magisk and Voenabler after removing it to upgrade to Pie, and have Wifi calling on BT uk! Tested and working.
Definitely something to do with Pie as would not work in Oreo (or without voenable in Pie)
Glad you sorted it bro, it's nice to have functions working.
Yes it is, you're right it is ridiculous that it's disabled and I still suspect it's androidone licensing or network pressure limiting the functions.
And it shows what a load of BS and miss-information there is around wifi calling, I called BT and asked saying I wanted to buy a new phone with it, the first guy who seemed quite bright said it should work if the phone's not on their official list as long as the phone supports it (he seemed a little reluctant, like he shouldn't be telling me) The second call when I asked if they could check I was sim enabled I was told by a lady that it definitely would not work unless I bought a phone from their list - Xiaomi? Who are they?
And according to my BT app I still don't have either volte or vowifi.....
I'm well pleased, I have no / borderline network signal from any provider in or around my home so now I have a working phone!
Guys any idea if the Pie update on A2 made possible the Vowifi? I tried on mine but only Volte seems to work. Cosmote Greece.

Yes it works on pie but you need magisk and voenable module
I ve done all of them but nothing for me... Do you find the wifi calling option in your settings?
