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.

VoLTE available stock rom, and wifi-calling, I don't known!
thank you for your comment.
is there any stock rom that I can flash to have that feature on?
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.

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

No volte or wifi calling currently
I received my Le max 2 (x829) about 5 days ago hoping my carrier would "support" it. Turns out US Cellulars bring your own phone style plan is incredibly limited, and after about 3 hours on the phone I was told that based on the IMEI number I had given them, US Cellular's (USC) system wouldn't be able to support the phone.
Side note right there - I did notice that part of the "rules" given to me on this were already broken on my Current USC phone and that Both the x829 and current phone share some similarity in IMEI number rhythm (maybe nothing but wanted to note it) IE *405033* on one, and 454050** on the other.
Found some time to research today and have found several XDA members noting that they have their x829's working on T-mobile, even T-mobile through Straight Talk. However, when checking "phone comparability" with either one using the IMEI # that all companies want to know atm I'm given an error.
So My question is thus: How did you; a X829 owner get your phone to work on your desired carrier? It seems AT&T and T-mobile seem to be the go to on this which I'm fine with.
A side question would also be: could I use "xposed" to change the IMEI to something my current carrier would "recognize" / was this what every one else has done?
Isn't US Cellular CDMA? For the Le Max 2 you'll need a GSM network.
I just received my x829. Out of the box VoLTE and WIFI calling worked with T-Mobile (on all official EUI 16s roms). I currently use the MADSURFER and both wifi calling and VoLTE are working.
All I had to do was pick up a nano sim which I activated via phone. I bought the Fire HDX 8.9 SIM from amazon for $4.00.

US Cellular is listed as CDMA, but all the research I've done before going with the Le Max showed that other GSM only phones like the ONE plus 3t would work on the network based sole on the phones bands support by the phones hardware.
I have plenty of Nano sims thanks to the Straight Talk "phone kit", infact both the At&T and T-mobile ones are in the phone atm. I do appriciate you re-enforcing the notion that VoLTE and Wifi calling work (which would be to my benefit where I live) my fear is that calling and trying to activate the sim will lead the "rep" to ask for the IMEI and again tell me wont work.
@leptdre i'm very leery to try things with out a further explanation, kind of a side effect of the college days.

US Cellular uses the CDMA band 20 (3G) 800MHZ. see: https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/u-s-cellular-united-states
I was thinking that the menu was for enabling Band 20 for LTE, but I was wrong. In fact it says: China Telecom's CDMA , china telecom uses CDMA band 20 (3G) like US Cellular.
https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/china-telecom-china
I think if you can get US Cellular to activate the service, with this option checked : *#*#9439#*#*, you can get your phone up and running.
I activated mine on Tmobile. Bought a sim from them and activated it online, used the 1st imei number on box, there's 2 imei numbers I assume 1 for each sim slot. After punching it in it knew I was on a LeEco Le Max 2. Rebooted phone and wifi calling appears. Also wife and son have same phone on T-mobile but already had nano sims so they just moved sim to their X829 and that was all they needed to do.

T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM carriers, which means that the sim is the only identification module.
US Cellular, Verizon, Sprint are CDMA carrier, the identification must come from the phone it self. The sim is only use for 4G LTE because 4G uses a standard relying on GSM to identify the customer.

I had a Straight Talk kit from an earlier attempt to use a Zenfone 2... the rep with strait talk wouldn't "force" activate the sim for my area because "no coverage". Apparently my city/town where I will use it the most doesn't have enough coverage From At&T or T-mobile to warrant being able to transfer my number from USC. Going to try "re-upping" the AT&T sim A user on another thread has noted that @ stock on EUI rom wifi calling was still available with At&t.
Edit:
https://www.amazon.com/Fire-HDX-8-9-Activation-T-Mobile/dp/B00L8BYGJQ - decided to go with that as xlCashlx did and try t-mobile... so far out of all the reps I've delt with over the last couple of days, t-mobile's has been more forth coming with information than any of the others.

So did anyone tried to use it with Verizon? According to willitwork site should be a go, but someone needs to confirm. For example I am using the Zuk Z2 from China and the 4G on VZN is working like a champ.
T-mobile here. When my x829 arrived, I simply pulled out the sim in my Moto G4 and immediately had service on the le max 2. Didn't even contact T-mobile.

Did it came with the stock rom or some sort of custom one when you bought it, thanks?
It came with the EUI factory rom by letv. Now that I think about it, I never actually tested TMO on that factory ROM. My wife has the x820 and I have the x829, both on TMO and both on different roms.
However, I have flashed the small EUI rom with no problems, plus you can find other user's experiences with TMO on stock EUI and everything I've seen points to good compatibility.
I'd recommend looking thru some of the threads on slickdeals for this phone. There has been a lot of discussion on different experiences with US carriers, mainly from a budget/value perspective. I'm on the walmart TMO $30/mo 5GB LTE plan (pay as you go) and really like it.
https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?src=SearchBarV2&q=le+max+2&searcharea=deals&searchin=first
To answer my own question and to advise everyone else that lives in the US and is planning to use the phone on Verizon network, you need to look elsewhere. Let me elaborate, I am getting LTE on the phone right after inserting the SIM card, but voice is not working no matter what, I even made a trip to my nearby VZN store to make sure that they dont have to go and white-list my IMEI or something. To put it in a more polite words, they declined to do anything, even after the fact that I have a corporate SIM that my company pays hundreds of thousands of $ per year to VZN for all the subscribers we have internally, on top of that I had my Zuk Z2 to prove them that, other phones that are not VZN "approved" can work with no problem with both LTE and voice. The last comment from the representative was that there are loopholes and some not approved phones can work, duh, I had the evidence with me, and again they refused to add the LeMax 2 IMEI to their "good" list.
So if you are planning to buy this phone, consider the fact that you will only be able to use it on ATT, T-Mobile and the rest of the GSM providers in the US.

I believe the problem might be your apns. Im on metro wasn't getting volte. Back a backup of your rom. Edit your apns, just change something in them and save. They should dissapear. Do that to all your saved apns. Than you should have a different set of USA apns pop up.

T-Mobile WiFi calling
Hi all. I have a quick question... I flashed my LeMax 2 (X820) with Lineage 14 version. So far so good but there are two questions that I have... In LOS 13 there was a theming built in. Was it removed from LOS 14? And the second more important question...I see posts about WiFi calling working on Tmobile...is it based on the stock firmware of LOS and if it is LOS, is there any specific way that I need to enable it? I don't see it in the menus
Which ROMs have both Wifi calling and volte settings both integrated? I see a lot of [VOLTE] in the titles for these ROMs, but not much mention of Wifi calling. I'm far more interested in integrated wifi calling first.
I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile last week. So far I love the coverage! I've only been able to get WiFi calling to work with EUI. And even then, its sketchy. Has anyone successfully gotten WiFi calling to work on other ROMs besides EUI? I personally cannot stand EUI, and would rather use LineageOS, RR, or something similar.
Hello everybody,
Yesterday I received my Le Pro 3 Elite, and inserted my new SIM, so I noticed I had 3G network, waiting to get 4G LTE as according to the product description, the Leeco Le Pro 3 Elite (X722) has FDD-LTE (including B2 and B4, for Mexico).
My phone never got 4G, then I read the box and the specification sheet and found that everything is in chinese, but there are some things in English, more precisely it doesn't say FDD-LTE anywhere, but TD-LTE.
I bought my phone on Geekbuying and I don't know what to do, as I did my choose between this phone and the Xiaomi Mi5s because of the compatibility of the LTE bands.
My x722 phone if it has 4G LTE
Where are you from? Which LTE bands do you use your phone with?
España 800, 1800, 2600
my x722 works 4g, is from banggood, came with 23s, now is in 26s and still works 4g
My x722 works 4G in Greece, 800,1600,2600. Everythinh is fine. Maybe you need to contact youw provider to activate 4G, some providers need to.

Do I have to take it to the store for them to do it, or can I just call customer service?
The other response is incorrect. Huawei has a whitelist of carrier MCC/MNC for VoLTE support. US carriers are not on it for LYA-L29.
VoLTE working fine in the middle east for the LYA-L29 for those who are wondering.
I don't know about North America though.

Volte works fine on the P20 Pro. Since that phone was never sold or supported in the USA there is no reason US carriers would be on a whitelist.
Volte also works fine on the Xiaomi MI Mix 2 & 2S which aren't sold or supported here.
Same problem in Canada too...the carrier has to work with Huawei to turn the feature on. I upgraded from an S7Edge which WAS VoLTE enabled by the carrier, so the account has the feature, but it did not automatically carry over.
Looks like there will be a few months before we get this, seeing how long it took for P20 Pro.
Anyone on UK EE with VoLTE available?

Hola
Can you please elaborate. For some of our carriers in Canada VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling are only enabled with carrier branded phones. This is particularly true for Rogers and Fido. If you are dealing with Shaw, Telus and Bell I have seen different scenarios that certain non branded phones working ok for VoLTE and other phones not working at all.
I am with Fido and I bought the Mate 20 Pro from them and VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling work.

I'm with Videotron...hence the difference. They have been notoriously slow to enable the feature on new phones.
On the flip side, I was getting VoLTE on my old phone which was NOT bought from them (it was first registered on Koodo).
Rogers does not allow that -as you mentioned.

A follow-up on my own post:
- we all knew the Canadian version L0C is NOT dual-SIM - I finally got a chance to test this. Bummer.
- I put in my phone a Rogers SIM and VoLTE and VoWiFi WERE INSTANTLY ENABLED. So the software supports it, has to be enabled by the provider via the SIM cfg. Somewhat positive news - as we all thought, Rogers would only allow VoLTE on the phones they sell, the test proved this is not the case.

I can definitely tell that the call quality is a LOT better in my case with VoLTE on, as it uses HD codecs (G.722).
You can try for yourself by turning VoLTE ON and then play with WCDMA vs LTE settings...one will disable it right away. In my case even the call button in the dialer shows HD.
And yes, the damn icon is hideous and won't go away even with System Tuner.

I'm using MintMobile with the Mate 20 Pro. I found out that this carrier does not provide VoLTE service.

MintMobile does provide Volte but they have no idea which phone models it works on so they don't advertise Volte. I had Volte functionality on MintMobile with One Plus 5, Essential PH-1, Xiaomi Mix 2 & Mix 2S, and Huawei P20 Pro.
But it does not work with this phone.
On Telus, the first time I set the phone up it made me jump through a hoop where I went to a Telus site and enabled the VOxxx stuff. Strangely, it seemed to be kinda random whether it was 'on' or not, and before the last 2 updates I don't think you could even trust the icon to be telling you the truth. I'm not sure why this feature is a big deal, codecs or not the voice quality seems fine on this phone regardless. Some people claim that enabling any of the VO stuff gobbles battery, I haven't really noticed.
Much like the AOD, it is sad that we have almost no control over the icons at the top - especially when space is at such a premium there.
