I have an LG G5 which I Network unlocked as it originally came from the EE network and wanted to use it on the Three network.
One problem with this is that I can not use VOLTE as there is no setting available, and have been informed i would need a mobile purchased directly from Three.
Just checked for updates and it would seem Android 7.1.2 has arrived and is available for download.
Now I am using this phone on the Three network, will I receive a Three version of the software enabling the VOLTE? or will it be another EE firmware?
Many thanks

The phones models are different, you will only get the OTA's from it's origin service.

Simon,
Have you a link to the three lg5 7.1.2 android firmware ?
flash the three uk rom ?
Are you sure it's 7.1.2, my 3 UK phone has only just got 7.0
Sent from my LG-H850 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I am 100 percent it is not 7.1.2
I am curious if volte works for you though

Considering the P20Lite for my wife.
Can any UK users confirm if WiFi calling works with their carrier please. Do Hawuai devices require carrier specific firmware? ( will probably use EE)
It's one of my main criteria.
Thanks

I bought an unlocked model from Carphone Warehouse and I'm using Three as my network provider and it has WiFi Calling. But you have to enable it by going into Settings > Call Settings > WiFi Calling
Hi
received my Mate 20 Pro 256GB Dual Sim from Trading Shenzen.
So far great device, but missing Wifi calling.
There is no option to activate in settings.
My phone details:
Modell: LYA-AL10
Build Nummer: 9.0.0.161(C00E155R1P20) GPU Turbo
So maybe i had to switch to another firmware.
Wondering in hiSuite: Got information there that i have the newest Developer Version?
So can some assist / help to get wifi calling?
Or is it possible to flash LYA-L29 to this device?
thanks
I've never had WiFi Calling on any Huawei phones running EMUI or Xiaomi phones running MIUI but I am in the United States. MIUI doesn't have any option for WiFi Calling but maybe EMUI does depending on region.
You have the Chinese hardware version so I don't think you will be able to flash any international firmware on it but your best bet to find out would be to contact FunkyHuawei.
In case you haven't heard of them FunkyHuawei is a paid service many Huawei owners use to flash firmware updates, rebrand their phones to different regions, obtain bootloader unlock codes, etc.
I'm not personally endorsing the service (although I have used it) but the person who runs FunkyHuawei would probably be in the best position to answer your question since he reverse engineers the software on Huawei phones and owns Chinese and international variants of the Mate 20 Pro.
Can’t go from China to Non-China
Hi I have the same problems (want to move from Chinese LYA-AL10 to a non-Chinese version such as LYA-L29 for instance).
I ask FunkyHuawei and they replied to me «*cannot go from China to Non-China*»
If someone still manage to do it, please let us know !
Cheers
I have the lya variant I picked up in Malaysia on vacation. WiFi calling does not work with my T-Mobile (US) SIM card. However it does work when I had a Malaysian Sim card in it. The option would show up in the sim settings. From what I read WiFi calling does not work outside of Asia.

It does work outside APAC...I'm in Canada and while my provider (Videotron) has NOT enabled VoLTE and VoWIFI for this phone, I borrowed a Rogers (other CDN provider) SIM and VoLTE and VoWIFI were available. The provider has to enable these features for a particular phone.
Hi g8x have a wifi calling?
Yes, my US version does.
Just recently got the unlocked version with the dual screen bundle (LM-G850QM). I'm using it on Verizon and the Wi-Fi calling is working! Just FYI as Wi-Fi calling never works on Verizon with unlocked phone that didn't come from Verizon. I did already have a Verizon SIM.....
No such option on the Canadian model.
Not even VoLTE.
I'm on the Rogers network, btw.

Wi-Fi Calling (and other features such as VoLTE) are supported by the LG G8X so long as your carrier has enabled them.

I find it odd that you don't have the option fir VoLTE Or VoWi-Fi... Rogers (at least last time I checked) supported all the IMS features, being VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWi-Fi, and ViWi-Fi. Is your phone purchased from Rogers?

Mine has it on Bell.
True, Rogers support all the services, but they seem to operate on a white-listing model. If the device is not in their allow list, those features will not work.
Another example is the OnePlus phones, same thing.
But usually I see the option but it just wouldn't work. On my phone, it doesn't show at all. Unless LG software hides it automatically, I'd say its not there in the firmware.
This is an unlocked carrier-free Canadian model, not a Rogers phone. Rogers don't actually offer it at all.

Aaahhh.... That makes sense. I tried porting a HTC 10 from Bell to Rogers and had the same issue. They told me it was because the phone wasn't on their whitelist of allowed devices, even though I had the service working under Bell. I'd be willing to bet that the IMS Config file indicates that its to hide VoLTE and VoWi-Fi unless the network supports it. You can try using *#546368#*850# and see if it gives you options for VoLTE in the hidden menus. Likely under IMS Settings.
I can vouch for the G8X on Telus. It does support VoLTE and VoWi-Fi.
When the LG G8X was released Rogers did not carry it, I don't think the carry G8 either, that's how much the LG brand fell, it's only fanboys or people like who gave LG another chance to do better but as you can see they are not doing better, just going on the expectation if they build it suckers will buy it.
Hello, I bought an LG G8X from USA (model # LM-G850UM) which has the Sprint firmware on it. Is it possible to convert it to the Canadian firmware and lock the bootloader after flashing it? The goal is to be able to use Wifi calling from Freedom Mobile which is not available with the current firmware. Furthermore, I want to be able to use Google Pay and Netflix if at all possible.
I did not find any links on the net to download the Canadian firmware.
I have the LMG850EMW variant in India and am facing severe issues with JIO on LTE. The network indicator keeps flipping between LTE and LTE+. I have not seen an update since March 24th. This phone has given me the worst experience so far. Unfortunately this guide seems to only work for single SIM variants.
