a peculiar problem about VoLTE - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

hi all, i have a quite peculiar query about VoLTE on my 8 Pro.
i have 8 Pro for about 3 weeks now. i am using Airtel and Jio sims in it. both are 4G enabled. i am able to use Jio VoLTE without any problems since day 1 on this phone. Recently airtel started VoLTE in my region (Chhattisgarh) but i haven't been getting VoLTE option when i selected airtel as default sim for data. but when jio sim was selected as default data sim VoLTE was properly showing. i removed jio sim and tried again with airtel. still no VoLTE. i contacted airtel service center and they informed that it should be available in a day or two. so i waited for few days. meanwhile i saw a list of compatible handsets on airtel's website and there is no Huawei/Honor phone there. there are only handful phones which support airtel VoLTE.
after so many days of airtel launching VoLTE i am still unable to get it on my 8 pro. while looking for the solution i came across this information that airtel has to work with the device manufacturers so that the manufacturer can provide a software patch to enable airtel VoLTE compatibility, which is happening at a very slow rate.
now what i don't understand is that why does a device need a software patch for VoLTE compatibility with a certain specific network when the device is already VoLTE enabled.? i understand it is not specifically related with 8 Pro but i didn't have any other forum to ask this. thank you...

The volte support presently is just for jio. The software has to be updated to support airtel volte and that can only be done when honor releases an update.
Volte enabled handset doesn't mean that it will work for every service provider. There are certain files that needs to be added to the software. The modem files need to be updated.

can you please guide me towards any articles to know more about this?

You will ned updated firmware to support Airtel VoLTE. Besides you won't going to able volte on both sims simultaneously.
For now only two mediatek chipset support dual volte

i am aware that simultaneous 4g/VoLTE on both sims is not possible in most of the SoCs including Kirin 960, and that is not even my requirement. i am just curious to why firmware needs to be updated to support any particular network. if that's the normal behaviour of VoLTE then phone manufacturers should mention which networks are supported for VoLTE in their device specs.

No other careers uses VoLTE other than JIO( and now airtel in some states). That's why they configured it that way. When other career will launch VoLTE manufacturers will set it by default.
It is just like bios in pc motherboards. They update their bios to support new hardware.

that makes no sense whatsoever. if a device is 'xyz service' compatible without any region or network locking then that service should work out of the box. which network is offering which service is irrelevant for device manufacturers. it doesn't make any difference if all the networks provide any particular service or not, manufacturers' configurations ought to remain same.
and your pc motherboard analogy is completely irrelevant as well.

i have contacted Huawei and they have told me that they are currently in testing phase for airtel VoLTE, but that's not the issue at all. i appreciate your efforts but it would had been better if you actually understood what i was trying to ask here. thank you...

A Brief about VoLTE
Hi, so here's the thing. As you would be aware, VoLTE is just that, Voice over LTE. And, there's a reason as to why that terminology is used only for 4g (LTE) & not for 3g or 2g. 2g and 3g were developed with the concept of them being used for voice transmission whereas 4g (LTE) wasn't developed for simultaneous voice transmission. Hence, the term, VoLTE indicating that the voice part is an addition & not an integral part of LTE, bro.
By now, as you would have guessed, since voice is an addition, hence, there are no international standard protocols for it. Each Service Provider has their own protocols. Also, to support VoLTE, the Service Provider has to change its entire infrastructure. Hence, Airtel and Vodafone are rolling it in phases and are unable to do a national rollout.
So, to summarise, different Service Provider.....different protocols and hence, separate firmware and patches. And, to answer your final question regarding support for Jio. It's because at the time of development of most of the phones released in 2017, only data for Jio VoLTE was available and hence, the handsets are arriving with native support of Jio VoLTE
Hope, I have answered your query to your satisfaction

Huawei Honor view 10 is the only Honor device that has support for Airtel voLTE.
This is so sad that the mobile manufacturers take soooo long to work with operator and provide a patch update.
Most of the brands are more concerned about promoting their new mobile models and least concerned about giving updates to exisiting users

Question for AT&T LTE users

So I get LTE but as soon as I get on a call signal goes to H and I cant use data/apps while on the call. Am I using the wrong APN settings, or wrong radio maybe? Any settings help would be great, or if you can confirm also. Thanks.
Mine nexus 6 did same thing. I'm not sure that the data still work or not but everytime I on call I see LTE Icon change to H like you said
It's one of 2 things.
Either VoLTE is not turned on on your device
Or ATT does not support VoLTE in your area.
First one is fixable. Second one is not.

LTE is data only, so when u go on a voice call it will got to hsdpa or 3g bc that is voice and data, so it is normal

Please don't spread information that's no longer the 100% truth. AT&T, Verizon, and (for a while now) T-Mobile offer calling over their LTE network, dubbed VoLTE (Voice over LTE). It allows voice packets to travel over the LTE network instead of legacy/3G and older networks.
The way the standard it set up, devices made more recently have software and hardware support for it, but as carriers have certification processes for their network, not all devices work cross-carrier. Most notably, iPhones (bleh) work cross-carrier because of the way their network configuration is provisioned (device identifies what network it's on, and downloads carrier configuration for that particular network). Some Android devices work cross-carrier (Nexus 6P and 5X), but the manufacturers of Android devices designing unlocked devices for some reason aren't certifying on AT&T, maybe because of cost or complexity.
Therefore, there are 3 main reasons VoLTE won't work on a device:
1) Not in a VoLTE area
2) VoLTE not enabled (this could encompass the option simply being disabled per the user)
3) VoLTE being restricted (AT&T restricting access because the device isn't certified, and/or the device not being capable)

So how do you enable on the OP3 with AT&T?

You can't, only thing that would remotely make it work is if your imei was set up as a HDVoice supported phone in AT&T's system (s6, s7, note 5, note 7, iphone, etc). Though that likely won't work either since it'll try to provision the VoLTE and fail and yea.
AT&T does not use "Standard" VoLTE, so even if the phone supports it (like the OP3 does) and they were to allow the IMEI, it still wouldn't work. Phones have to have specific code from AT&T to do their HDVoice (according to their own customer service postings in their forums)

VoLTE support

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..
Beamed in by telepathy.
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?

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.

Need help to enable VoLTE in LG G7+ Thinq

I have purchased LG G7+ thinq Indian variant recently. I am facing issue with VoLTE for Airtel network. I am getting 4G but not volte. I didn't find any settings to enable it also. Can some one with Indian variant help me on VoLTE issue.
Reading the forum here I have tried flashing Singapore firmware but that didn't help...
Have the same problem here in mumbai.. airtel works only with 4g not volte.. whereas Jio volte works well.
Same case here..in India only JIO is supported..no other networks VOLTE is supported by this Flagship mobile of LG.
Somebody from India needs to call up their software update centre to develop and release updates for India as well....all most other regions have got at least the Sept updates.
Who knows..might be also possible that LG might soon exit from their Smart phone business in India like they had in China earlier this year..given it's dismal market share...if that's the case..no more updates..

TURN OFF volte (*#*#4636#*#*)& also turn off volte for m mobile network, restart phone and now turn on volte from mobile network not from(*#*#4636#*#*), volte will get activated,strange but while making call network switches to (3g) h+.
Volte is licens based. Your operator have to pay for the licens to get it Working on every model.
So. Maby your operator havent bougt the licens for lg g7.

Airtel VoLTE works fine with 10t update. Volte was enabled for Vodafone, Idea, Airtel with that update. if you are using Indian specific EMW or EAW you shouldn't have any issue.

The volte option is now present but even if selected, the signal does not show it.
As a matter of fact my phone doesn't even show 4g.

EVR-L29 Enable VoLTE

Is it possible to enable VoLTE when it's not enabled by default. I just bought this phone and I don't see the setting.
Thank you

However, it must be supported by your Provider, otherwise it will not be displayed.
It's not there...that's strange 20 Pro is supported but 20X isn't

It depends on simcard visit simcard customer care and replace simcard to volte enabled sim. Thats what i did when it didn't worked.

It worked on OnePlus 8 which I previously had. So I think sim card is not a problem
I have a Mate 20 with the same issue. VoLTE doesn't works on T-Mobile and is a software issue related to Huawei. Lots of people are having the same issue:
I Just made a post on Huawei Forums for see if we can report the issue. The more the people reports that increases the chances that this can be fixed:

Anyone get any clarity on this issue? I have AT&T in the United States and my IEMI was targeted for shut off today. After going a few rounds, they turned it back on but told me there was no way to prevent future pre-emptive shut offs because me EVR-L29 does calling over 3G which sends an automatic kill message. Further, as many have described, there is no switch to enable VoLTE in my settings. Are there other larger (7" plus) Chinese phones that are 4G LTE calling? Is there a way to address this issue with the EVR-L29? Thanks.

Fake phone device model to network carrier

Hi,
I own an Oneplus 7T, which is VoLTE and VoWiFi enabled. Is it possible to make my network carrier believe I'm connecting with another phone model? Like a Xiaomi Redmi 10 for instance. I need my network carrier to stop disabling VoLTE and VoWifi from my subscription. It does so because I own a OP7T.
Here's the whole story...
The OP7T has two SIM slots and they are populated as so:
SIM 1: Orange Telecom (french)
SIM 2: Bouygues Telecom (french)
Orange won't recognize my phone as VoLTE or VoWifi compatible, whereas Bouygues does. I finally got in touch with a skilled employee there who told me that this is Orange's stupid politic to enable VoLTE only on phones they sell at their store! Gosh... There are some Xiaomi, Huawei, and fo course Samsung, Sony... but no Oneplus.
When I put my Orange SIM in a Samsung compatible phone, VoLTE and VoWifi work and remain ON, forever (I tried 3 weeks). If I switch to my OP7T, the VoLTE will work for 2 to 24 hours (very random) and then it turns OFF (only for the Orange SIM).
Ok, but why do I need this VoLTE and VoWifi so bad? Because I bought a Samsung Watch LTE, whose LTE option won't work if my carrier disables the VoLTE option!
=> I configure the Watch on my crappy Samsung phone, in which I've inserted the Orange SIM, and everythings works fine.
=> I put the Orange SIM in my OP7T and the Watch's LTE keeps working some hours (also the VoLTE sign is ON for SIM 1 & 2)
=> When the VoLTE sign disappears on my OP7T, for SIM 1, the Watch's LTE stops working too.
That turns me crazy... and Orange is the only carrier to provide a LTE option for my Watch so... I'm stuck. Of course, I don't want to buy another phone, this one is new
So, any way to fake my device for my carrier? Please...
Thank you!
Edit: my thread has been moved to the OP7T forum, but it does not belong here at all. That's a general Android phone question about chaing the model presented to the carrier. So I guess I'm not going to get any answer here...
nice

volte and wifi calling only work for the sim you have as primary data. just making sure that's not your issue

Hi, thank you for the answer, however both work for both SIMs on my mobile. Also I can have LTE activated on obth SIMs at the same time, and for example keep the LTE data on on SIM2 while having a phone call on SIM1.
My issue is absolutely the one I described, which is that my carrier disable VOLTE when it recognize my mobile as being "incompatible" (so they say)
Something like this?

There's an xposed module which looks like it does what you want

Just advise (either by quoting me here or better via the report function) if you want your thread to be moved to Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting i.e. into the overall forum Android Development and Hacking.

Hello! I realize it's been quite some time since you posted this originally. Did you ever find a solution? I have a similar need for this
Following. I have the exact same problem. Don't have network at home and my carrier doesn't allow wifi calling for my device.
Same here . Trying to find a way around it ...
