Hi
As I understand the Honor 5x has the necessary hardware for VoLTE (voice over LTE) and Wifi-calling.
Does anyone know if Honor will enable these 2 features in their upcoming official Android Marshmallow release for the Honor 5X ?
I have the Honor 5X - KIW-L21 version and it would be great to have these 2 features enabled.
Perhaps the Honor reps active on the forum can make a recommendation to their development team to have VoLTE and Wifi - calling enabled on the Marshmallow release.
Thank you

@Tasha T Nope its does not come with that update, may-be custom ROM' s may enclose those.
Hello @Tasha T,
I am a beta tester for Android 6.0+EMUI 4.0 update for Honor 5x and I confirm that both of the features are not implemented in the beta release. However I will raise a new requirement to the development team to include both of these features. :fingers-crossed:

The Android M update is out. Still no VoLTE and / or Wi-Fi Calling support I take it?

Here is he letter I received this AM regarding the MM testing program.
Hi All,
Thanks to your hard work we have decided to release B331 publicly. Within a week you should see the software available on the www.hihonor.com website.
GPS Update:
I received notice from my engineering team that they might have found a fix for this. They will update me tomorrow.
Note: B331 is not the end of the KIWI FUT. We will hopefully be releasing another update. Things to be included in this next update:
- VoLTE for TMO
- GPS fix
- Updated security patches
- Misc bug fixes
Best Regards,
Sean Stitt
UI/UE Feature Director, Technical Acceptance

That's great news regarding VOLTE. Is it possible to reply asking about Wi-Fi Calling? That would make it a 100% compatible TMO device.

That is what VoLTE enables TMO users to do wifi calling and what is being worked on.

Does this mean the other variants of the Honor 5X (eg. KIW-L21) will also get the update that will enable Wifi Calling ?
According to the UK Honor rep (James Pearce) the Honor 5X has hardware limitations that prevent enabling Wifi Calling.
I wonder if Honor in the UK is aware that the Honor 5X does indeed have the hardware capability for Wifi Calling, now that the Honor USA rep has confirmed such a future firmware update.

I do not know about all variants. There are different teams working on the various variants. All I can verify is what they say on the US team.

Thanks for the info. This is the only place where I found some sign showing there is hope for Honor 5X B12 working with TMO. Any ETA on when will we get to try this update? If not the final release, does honor 5x have a beta program?
Awesome to hear about VoLTE/Band 12 support. I pulled the trigger on the Amazon deal today as a stopover upgrade on my Nexus 5.
No word on when it's gonna happen, I have merely been told that VoLTE for TMO will probably be the next upgrade. They just released stock MM (B331) today for the L-24 variant here in the USA.
T-MoWifi calling is sorely missed with Honor 5x. Hope to see it fixed in subsequent updates

Likewise.
Just to clarify, Band 12 support is implied with VoLTE implementation, right? I bought this phone to use on T-Mobile and seeing band 12 on the spec sheet is something that really pushed me to pick this up. There are a band 12 towers going up in my (the indianapolis) area and I was looking forward to getting better coverage than on my Z1 Compact.
I really want to get this phone on TMO. Being they released the B331 in July. Any chance the update with VOLTE will be released anytime soon? I guess what I'm asking is how often do they release firmware?
Out of curiosity, I cross-referenced a list of Snapdragon 616 devices with a list of band 12 devices on T-Mobile. I was hoping that another device would be compatible and we could try examining the radio firmware on it to get band 12 working on kiwi, but it doesn't look like there are 616 devices with band 12 on T-Mobile (assuming that both of those lists are comprehensive). If huawei follows through on their promise to deliver Band 12 and VoLTE, this could be the first device on this SoC to get that functionality.

Hello,
Remember I had raised and enhancement for VoLTE during beta testing for Android 6.0+EMUI 4.0 for Honor 5x? They have listened to it. VoLTE has been introduced on the latest update by Huawei on L22 variant, and should soon be available on others as well Here is the link for the official communication:

I have been using it for months. Not aware of how to use wifi calling, so can't answer that question. Recently having issues with device lag quite a bit, not sure why. But not aware of any issues directly related to T-Mobile. Not sure if this helps or not.
Not recommended. WiFi calling does not work, but the bigger issue is that Band 12 is disabled with this handset on T-Mobile, so you don't get access to most of the new towers that T-Mobile has put up over the last few years. Huawei has released updates in other regions to add VoLTE functionality in, which would enable Band 12 in the US, but the update has yet to reach the L24 model that's sold here. Maybe spring for a OnePlus 3 or see what else is new out there.

It's also phone specific why not just tell him it's not supported on the 5x ?
If your here representing Honor and you don't even know the limitations of the device why post at all ?
so, My understanding is The HONOR 5X does not support wifi calling.... I have TMobile, and moved and we have no service coverage, so I have to use the wifi to call. Back to my IPHONE.... I guess

I am about to buy LeMax 2 X829 cuz it supports full 3G (1700/2100) and LTE (2,4,12) on T-Mobile (US).
But I must have native wifi calling feature.
Does it come with VoLTE and wifi-calling?
If it doesn't, what kind of ROM do I need to install?
Thanks in advance.

What bands are supported on x829? I think they are different compared to x820..?
829 supports most of US bands. 820 does not support tmo 3g bands (1700/2100 B4) but supports all LTE bands (2,4,12).

Hi,
I have the X829 6gb/128 version, and i can confirm that wifi and VoLTE work on T-Mobile.
Phone was purchased from eFox, and it was shipped with the notorious
leaked American Rom (5.8.16s). Hope this helps.
Yes definitely has wifi calling n volte on tmo, you wont see any option for it till you put in a tmo sim, but after you do and boot up it's there. I have a silver and a gold x829 both 4/64, both bought at tinydeal with coupon "199LX829" silver is $192 the gold is $194. I paid extra $7 each for DHL express And the one I ordered Friday night came Tuesday at noon, the Next ordered Tuesday got it Friday. Couldn't have been happier. If your american theres no customs but Visa and Mastercard will charge an extra 3-3.5% to convert currency so calculate an extra $6-$7, paypal is 2.5% if you pay with them. Had 1 phone a week other for 4 days and 0 issues yet. Both benchmark around 130k in antutu and turn in 4k/1750 in Geek.
hi JohnnySJ, you mean T-Mobile in USA or Germany

VoLTE should work on O2/Vodafone/Telekom but they have very restricted compatibility lists... don't know if those lists actually mean anything
even subsidiaries (i.e. otelo) of those 3 don't work - let's not talk about small independend providers

Stock rom that it came with.
Just a suggestion since I believe someone was asking where to get it. I bought two fro gearbest it only to about a week for each to get to my house. I live in Oklahoma.
I wish Leeco would release source. I have WiFi calling working in rooted EUI (via T-mobile), but no custom ROM that I tried that has WiFi calling built into the ROM has yet worked. Kind of a bummer, because I cannot stand EUI. RR & LineageOS has been my favorite custom ROM thus far. Unless there is a trick I am not aware of to get it functioning in other ROMs.

I installed Dirty Unicorns
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/x82x-dirty-unicorns-7-1-2-t3593864
Enabled WiFi calling, and it has been working. I was able to see the WIFi calling traffic via tcpdump from my router, so I am fairly sure it is working in that ROM.
**Edit**
My mistake. Using Dirty Unicorn AOKP ROM. What I thought was WiFi calling traffic in tcpdump (from my router) was actually traffic being generated from the T-mobile app. The only ROM that I've had both WiFi calling and Volte working flawlessly is stock EUI, unfortunately.

So now you are saying it's down to the device and not the sim card? Instead of just saying stuff how about you research it first - nobody is coming here to listen to half baked guess work ? I have no idea what honor said about volte, but it's becoming such a common feature that an omission would be rather strange.

Build C432
Hi there,
I recently purchased an Honor 10 from Argos and am using it on the three network. It seems like you can only use features like 4G Super Voice (VoLTE) if you bought the phone directly from three. I am presuming that to mean that three has a custom version of the stock firmware for the device but they do not provide a way of downloading this from their site. Does anyone have this firmware or the ability to dump it from their phone and share?
Thanks,
James.
No custom firmware it's the same. Will work fine when you put your sim in it
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
I already have put the sim in, there is no option to enable VoLTE/4G super voice I can see, three support suggested I should have some software from them that was OTA, are you saying you have an Honor 10 on three and it gives you the option to enable it?
There isn't an option. It just works when you are in a volte area.
And when you connect to WiFi you should get WiFi calling in the notifications area.
What firmware B131?
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
I just checked on the three website, I didn't notice this last time:
Devices that didn't come from Three.
Right now, all 4G Super-Voice compatible iPhones will be 4G Super-Voice enabled once the carrier settings have been installed, even if they didn't come from Three.
4G Super-Voice doesn't work on other non-Three devices yet however, even if the manufacturer has stated that it's VoLTE compatible. We're working on this, so be sure to check back for updates.
Click to expand...

So they must have some kind of custom firmware or something I presume.
I have wifi calling enabled on my device but again the three website says my device is not supported and it won't work and that seems to be true because even with wifi enabled and wifi calling enabled in the setting I do not get the wifi calling in the notification area.
That's hasnt been updated. All Huawei P20 series and honor 10 series have the same software across the market. It will. Work for volte
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
I am afraid what you are telling me goes against what three themselves are directly telling me. A three support guy just called me after a web chat and said that at the moment they have NOT released the update for Honor 10 to enable VoLTE. He said when it is released I will get a text message from three about the update and that it will then be enabled on my phone. I am afraid what you are saying is not what Three are saying.
Dude I work for Three. I range the phones they sell. I setup the Honor partnership. I can tell you flat out the software is one software across the market. It customises based on the sim.
What software version are you in b104 B120 or B131

This might explain my issue about the updates....
My handset was purchased from three as PAYG. It's still stuck on 120 firmware.
If all handsets are the same why have we not seen the 131 update
B131 is not out in the UK yet. Its leaked in firmware finder but it hasn't had CTS approval yet which means no Google pay etc
Sent from my Mi MIX 2S using Tapatalk
Apologies, I guess I misunderstood what the support guy was saying, thanks for the clarification! I am on B120 according to the phone. The three site doesn't help, it's confusing they say that it won't work on devices not purchased from three. If there is no software difference does that mean that wifi calling should work for me too? It doesn't seem to be unless emui hides the usual icons you would expect to see?
It's only a new thing that Huawei and honor have done which is put the settings into the baseline software regardless of where you buy it in uk

As far i know if 3 mobile did not support volte your menu for volte wouldnt exist. Or you wouldnt had choice to activate it. At least this is how it was on p9. I have a honor 10 c432 unbranded device and my options are open for volte. If that helps. Maybe switching to different region firnware it will give you the option.
Ps for me is not appearing on the notch when is active but when i disable notch its showing an icon

Hello
Just received a email from AT&T, claiming that none of my Sony phones will be compatible with AT&T wireless network on 2022. This is what their page says
"To bring you faster speeds and new features, we have to evolve America’s best and also fastest network. One change we’re making is phasing out our 3G network by February 2022. Once we do, 3G devices and 4G wireless devices that don’t support HD Voice will no longer work on our network."
Their compatibility list (https://www.att.com/ecms/dam/att/consumer/help/pdf/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf) does not include any Sony phones at all.
Does anyone know if this is actually true? One the one hand, I can see that my phones are not on their compatibility list. On the other hand, AT&T appears to be completely unaware of Sony's existence.

I"m on AT&T, and I don't have VOLTE from them here in Texas. Our X1 is not supported according to list provided by AT&T, however no Sony phones are. I haven't received the email...at least not yet for mine. Of course our phones are able to use VOLTE services but AT&T doesn't provision for them. There are some discussions about this going on on Reddit too, some people are reaching out to file complaints to the FCC.

The phone will probably still be able to use data, but no calls will be possible since the phone doesn't support VoLTE on AT&T.

The Phone supports it just fine. AT&T won't allow their servers to support the phone. They say its because they can't certify that it's safe to use for VoLTE and that means 911 calls could fail but it's really because they are pushing people to get AT&T branded phones and stay on a phone payment plan.
