VOLTE

Is it capable of Tmobile VOLTE? If so is it a hardware thing and can work regardless of rom (in my case 4.4.3 gpe)? Or must I use sense?

T-Mobile just released VoLTE in San Francisco. You have to wait until they release it in your area.

It is actually in a few places now. My question was if our HTC m8 supports it

HTC One M8 does support it and it works great for me on T-Mobile's network. If you are using the stock rom, there will be a little "HD" icon at the bottom right of the contact image when you make a call on VOLTE. It's also only supported with other phones that can do VOLTE, so keep that in mind.

Is it ROM dependant? Do i need to be on stock sense?

I think you are describing "HD Voice" (where both ends of a call use a different codec that sounds better).
VoLTE is where the phone uses the LTE data connection for a phone call (like WiFi calling, but different).
As far as I know, VoLTE is not currently available on the M8. It is not known if a firmware update from HTC can bring VoLTE to the M8, but I sure hope they can.

Note3 supports it which I am not sure if all snap800 SOC's support it. I would venture to say that 801 and beyond will for sure though. But OTOH, knowing carriers and their greed they might advertise some other phone as the first to support it and not enable on a phone capable of supporting it.

What's up with T-Mobile? My city is already lit up VoLTE already and I can't use it. It's only for Note 3...I try with SG4,M8 and z1s no go.:thumbdown:

Well I just see Seattle and these three phones only and the software needs to be updated to latest.
LG G Flex
Samsung Galaxy Light
Samsung Galaxy Note 3

should i purchase the international or USA version of the note 7?

in terms of rooting which version should I purchase? I heard that the USA version has a locked bootloader which means it is not rootable correct? Is it impossible to unlock the bootloader unless Samsung does something or..? I would assume that since people are going so far as to refund their phones instead of waiting for an unlocker to be released if that is even possible.

I'm waiting to buy international version of phone with Xynos Chip and no AT&T bloatware. We will probably get better battery life and faster updates. We will lose HD and Wifi calling but no biggie IMHO.

Chance's of the USA version being Unlocked are slim to none... Even the Canadian version is locked down.

Yes, HD Voice is Voice over LTE.

Having done development work in this field, I feel obligated to tell you that's not exactly true. Hd voice consists of two voice codecs - AMR Wideband, and AMR narrowband. These codecs do not explicitly require VoLTE to function. In fact, you can make "HD Voice" calls over 4G HSPA/HSPA+ using the narrowband version of the codec.

Sounds good to me. Here's AT&T definition of HD voice.

Yeah everyone dumbs down their definitions for the general public.
Basically, telephony in general has always had an 8khz spectrum width for audio. This was manly due to the fact it's small and low bandwidth. With the advent of 3.5g (hspa/hspa+ and lte) bandwidth is drastically increased. This allows for a doubled (16khz) spectrum width as there's plenty of bandwidth for it.

For AT&T and Verizon, correct. T-Mobile uses HD Voice over their 3G network, and you get better sounding calls when talking to another T-Mobile subscriber (I understand they will eventually bridge HD Voice to other carriers). VoLTE for T-Mobile (Advanced Calling for VZW) allows you to keep your LTE signal while on a call, as opposed to dropping down to 3G.

Good question. I heard a rumor that they did some sort of update and locked it?

I have the international variant and it does have VoLTE.

Singapore here. Singtel.

Would love to get international variant if it works with Tmobile.

I can purchase an international version on eBay, there is one currently for 789$ but there is only gold platinum available and the seller ships from NY.... i want to get this but unsure if it is a fake phone or something ><

The Phone may be region locked. Mine (South East Asia) came with a card that says, the Phone needs to be using SEA sim card for the first boot up.

I'm in the same boat, $789 seems lucrative, but no warranty so not sure should take that risk or not. I'm waiting for B&H to go on sale at least they provide their own 1 year warranty.

Enabling AT&T Advanced Calling Features?

I bought my s9+ from Best Buy and threw in my AT&T sim... everything works (though my signal seems weaker than my iPhone had) except for there is no advanced calling menu. I'd like to enable HD calling and WiFi calling if possible. Does anyone know of a way to do so?
Thanks!

I should note I searched the s8 forum and I couldn't find anyone who successfully did it on last year's model, either. Hoping for the best though!

apparently if you flash the carrier's firmware (assuming you bought the unlocked version of the phone) then you can get the wifi calling features for that carrier. There are a bunch of threads that have d/l links you can check out and ask in-depth questions about it.
HD calling is standard, and is enabled by default on the unlocked version, it's just called voLTE calling instead of HD calling.

Thabks so much for the info. One follow-up - Am I supposed to have a setting somewhere for VoLTE? I searched settings and don't see it anywhere.

Have you checked your APN's? It may be missing some additional APN's that are linked to VoLTE

All s20 on sprint are currently being forced VoLTE you can't take that off anymore. Since they are using our phones to test t-mobile network too since t-mobile bought sprint, they are changing alot of network related things right now.

erm, forget about volte, what's with the font. Joke! Looks like sprint has locked you as VOLTE always on. I'm using a UK exynos model on THREE and I can toggle it on or off...
