Unlocked Verizon G8 outside USA: does it works? - LG G8 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone.
Is anyone using or has used a Verizon unlocked LG G8 outside the US? Mostly interested in feedback from Europe (I live in Italy).
Is it possible to activate and OTA update it without a Verizon sim?
Do calls on 2G/3G networks work especially with Android 12?
Thanks in advance to whoever will answer.

Thanks for your replay.
Where are you from? Is your G8 updated to A12?
What about 2g network for calls?

Everything good I'm from India

Thanks

Volte on m8 international

Hello guys, I have HTC ONE_M8 INTERNATIONAL VERSION / UNLOCKED VERSION. I want to use VoLTE but m unable to do so. I have a 4g sim and as soon as I turn on LTE only mode I get 4g Internet access but then m unable to call someone or recieve any calls, its rooted so I need some method to enable volte so that I can connect as well as make calls. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
What region/country and what carrier?
I don't know a lot about VoLTE, and its pretty new in a lot of regions. But from what I've seen at least in the US (AT&T) they are doing some very carrier specific deployment of VoLTE which doesn't play well with any non-carrier branded ROM.
I also have an International Version of the M8. My carrier just activated VoLTE on their side and say I have to activate it on the settings but I dont see that option anywhere on the settings.
Can someone please help? Is there a workaround?
Cheers

[VOLTE] Volte not working in Nextbit Robin [7.0]

I'm on Android 7.0 official, no root, no bootloader unlocked. I've Reliance Jio (which btw is LTE only) network. I can use internet fine on LTE but, calls doesn't work. I've enabled LTE enhanced mode. I also checked the apns. To place calls I've to use their 3rd party app which is pretty annoying. Any help?

Your carrier must not've cleared VOLTE for the Robin.

Just for a little bit of help, see if on your carriers website if they have a list of VOLTE compatable devices for their Network.

I go back and forth from India and US so I really need this to work with Jio LTE and VOLTE in India. Its listed on various sites as being compatible. Did you ever figure out why your phone wasn't getting VOLTE?
Not sure why it isn't working for you. When Jio was launched late last year, I use it for a month Nov-dec 2016 and it worked fine. Tried it again in Feb 2017 for a week and it was fine.
Are you using the stock launcher and dialer? The dialer had worked for me without any issue without installing any 3rd party dialer.
jio is woeking fine in robin i have tested it in delhi, nainital etc..
Jio is working on most of the custom roms and flawless on stock rom..

Samsung S6 Sprint CDMA USA SIM Unlock

Hello to XDA community, as for the title let me clarify on my problem.
Recently I bought a used Samsung S6 SM-G920P from a shop. Then I realise that its a CDMA USA version, it cant receive 4G/LTE network in my country ( Malaysia / Asia ) but it can receive the 3G network. I really want to enable the 4G network, what must I do? Perhaps unlocking the network band or anything? Im lost
Thanks for advance.

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..
VoLTE
Today got a firmware update and now VoLTE is working for Airtel Bangalore

How to get dual volte in Indian variant. I can use either Vodafone Internet or airtel at a time
Even I use Airtel( Mumbai), but it still shows 4g/4g+, not LTE above the signal bar. I have enabled Volte under mobile network option. What about other Airtel users?

Which region is this..? I am not getting the Volte next to my signal bar .. I'm using Airtel in Mumbai. Can you also post a screenshot without WiFi, just to see if LTE gets mentioned above the signal bar.

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.

Yes 10t emw but no volte
Airtel, Kolkata.
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.

Question Honor Magic Ultimate VoLTE support in USA

I am planning to buy Honor 4 Ultimate here in the USA. Can anyone please confirm if there is any possibility to get VoLTE on any carrier? Both at&t and T-Mobile not supporting VoLTE for Honor Chinese version. I have heard Google FI supports VoLTE if anyone can please confirm before I buy.

I have the Honor 4 Ultimate here in the US on T-Mobile, I believe my VOLTE is working as I can make calls without issue.

And to use Google Fi the device has to support Google Play Services which this does not.
Thanks a lot for letting me know. I just returned honor Magic 3 pro plus as it kept switching to 2G connection for calls. I really love the phone. I will go ahead and order it... Thanks
Oh that's a new thing I learnt. Got it

If you get a chance, please do check once if you are seeing the VoLTE toggle bar in your mobile settings. I would sincerely appreciate if you can just confirm that. Thanks

You're welcome, sometimes I do switch to 2G but it doesn't seem to be too long I always switch back to 4G eventually sometimes 5G and I'm stll able to complete calls on the T-Mobile network. Me it doesn't really bother me much since I make minimal phone calls.

Great. Yes so this 2G calls might completely end by December 2022 when T-Mobile shuts down 2G. However after reading countless posts and thread...someone mentioned the best way to avoid this VoLTE drama by both at&t and T-Mobile.. you can start using services like Google voice and port your number...I actually tried this and I now don't care if TMobile doesn't allow VoLTE even after December 2022... But thanks for checking everything...1 more thing if you can check... If you can enable developer mode and see if you get an option for VoNR... That is the new standard after VoLTE and if that is supported on Ultimate that should help too... In any case I am going to finally place my order tomorrow after trying Google voice since even after 2G shutdown mobile data will continue...

So I was able to run a test, I recommend downloading Aurora app store and downloading the Google Dialer app and using that as your default calling app. As when I ran test calls to VM/ someone I know I get HD on the call so VOLTE is 100 percent for sure working then.

That is genius. I got my ultimate delivered today from Hong Kong. I was able to use Truecaller and Viber are essentially VOIP apps and need mobile internet or WiFi. But your solution is genius. I managed to install Google dialer and all calls go through without any internet connection and signal doesn't drop to 2G. I also got HD. thanks for finding a great solution. Let's hope Google dialer continues to work without Google services

So I'm on AT&T and my service was working perfectly fine with them until I took the latest firmware released today. Not sure if the update messed with anything but my Google Dialer and regular Dialer both do not make calls via AT&T, my T-Mobile sim still works
Hey thanks...I sold ultimate within 2 weeks as more and more apps were breaking without Google services and using Gspace was slow and frustrating...I moved to OPPO find x5 pro global version which had VoLTE on TMobile and after android upgrade I lost VoLTE even on OPPO T-Mobile. This is truly frustrating. Looks like they won't allow any Chinese phones in USA.... Only Samsung, OnePlus and Google pixel are welcome...
