So, I have an unbranded unlocked N8 I bought from Best-Buy assigned to my VZW account that was missing the "Advanced Calling" menu in settings. My wife's branded VZW S8+ has this menu. I tried the guides for other carriers to unlock WifI and HD calling, but alas, none of them worked. (I did however get the camcorder in the phone dial pad, but it didn't do anything) *******Still working on WifI calling**********
I spent hours testing settings in the IMS config via the shortcut app, all with no luck.
TIP: I called big red (VZW) on the phone and told them I bought the phone from bestbuy (didn't mention it was the non carrier unlocked version) and that WifI and HD calling menu wasn't on my phone. She told me my IMS wasn't configured on their end and she would update it. (This did not affect my grandfathered unlimited data plan)
Steps:
1. Call VZW and tell them you dont have access to HD voice on your phone and need help.
2. They will update the IMS on their end.
3. Turn off WifI, turn on mobile data.
4. Reboot and profit.
Ive uploaded a SS of the new option which wasn't there before I called VZW.
*****WARNING****** I seem to have lost the ability in the shortcut app to access the IMS launcher settings. Not sure if the 83mb update I took today caused it or not. Just warning you. I can still get into WifI calling via the app, however, it still crashes every time I get into it.
(Yes I know I shouldn't have taken any updates while we wait on eng. code to be released. Oh well I guess. )

You can always flash back to stock then...as long as it is server side as soon as it provisions, you should still get the goods...and be back to stock...this update does not lock you in...congrats though...
Does your Wi-Fi calling still not work? That's my only hangup of going with the Verizon rom.

Nope; works out of the box with Sprint & T-Mobile; haven't tested my AT&T SIM
You can get into IMS Settings by using Nova Activity launcher; under DEBUG INFO > IMS Information all should be true; if not VoLTE isn't enabled on the account or provisioning isn't completed; this can be done with a simple reboot.
Also; IMS Service Switch, make sure VoLTE Video is on for video calling; if/when VZW uses universal RCS profile you will have access to "iMessage" like features which Sprint/T-Mobile can currently use.
The Sad thing is total wireless morons have no clue what an ims is...

Thanks for the guide. Unfortunately after recent official Oreo software update, can't get into IMS Settings using either Nova Activity Launcher/Shortcut maker or through any other app.
Is there any way to enable "IMS Service Switch" thereafter enable VoLTE so that VoLTE option would appear under Settings->Mobile Networks?
Please suggest.
Thanks.

While in Mexico next month can I WiFi call to the US on my g3 ?
I have the HTC One (M8) and did my update (Which added the Wi-Fi calling app). I am currently in Mexico (Been here since Saturday) and I couldn't get the Wi-Fi calling to kick in while connected to a Wi-Fi. Everytime I tried to connect by enabling the Wi-Fi the location part of the Wi-Fi calling app would kick in and I would get a message something to the effect that wi-fi calling wouldn't work in my current location (Not exact words but that is what it would tell me). So I decided to turn off the locate me feature in the Wi-Fi calling app and enter my home address (from the US) and it said confirming address took a while and it seemed like nothing happened. A little while later all my text messages and my voicemail s started to show up on my phone and the Wi-Fi calling icon showed up on my status screen.
I'm going to be honest. I was also tinkering with the network connection settings and manually selected cdma/lte in the network mode and enabled Domestic voice and data. I just wanted to get some type of service (i didn't care if it was going to go into roaming because I needed to make calls back to the states). So I'm assuming I am using the Wi-Fi calling feature because I don't have the data portion on the phone turned on and I don't have international voice or data enabled. But I will find out on my bill next month.
If I'm really on Wi-Fi calling mode then the key (i think is to trick the location servive of the Wi-Fi calling app to think you in the US by typing in an address in the US and not letting the app locate you automatically to Mexico....
I was trying to upload screen shots from my phone but the web browser let's me. I will pots the images after the 19th..

I just returned from Mexico and had turned the wifi calling on my last day their. At first worked great made a few calls back and it worked crystal clear. Then it started to ask for location I tried everything even when it did accept a location over the border in the U.S.(I was in a border town) it stopped working. My friend who has the wifi calling from T-mobile had no problem. Hopefully Sprint (lol) will get a clue.
1. Insert Straight Talk ATT sim
2. Set mobile networks to GSM/UMTS
3. Go to system updates and select update PRL
4. After its updated go back to mobile networks and switch it from global back to GSM/UMTS (it will auto switch when you update prl)
5. Go to roaming in settings and scroll to the bottom and set APN
6. Download Signal Check or Signal Check Pro from the play store to show data signal in the status bar
7. The no sim icon will still be in the status bar but you can remove ot with tweakboxand set carrier text
YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THIS EVERYTIME YOU REBOOT YOUR PHONE SO ITS TEMPORARY UNTIL WE GET FULL UNLOCK
PLEASE SHARE AND GIVE THANKS
(I have only tested this with an ATT ST SIM)
I installed cloudy and used network app from the play store and picked cmda/gsm/lte everything works. I didn't even have to set the apn or mess with the dialer it is all good ?
I registered my phone with Straight Talk a couple days ago and I've been trying to get it to work. I've looked everywhere and Straight Talk has lived up to their reputation of having terrible customer service. Anyway, they've confirmed that my phone is activated, but I can't make a call or anything. I'm thinking it has to do with my settings.
Just to cover all the bases, I tried to activate on the CDMA network via the network access code, but I couldn't register my phone due to no coverage in my area (which I know is not true). So I registered on GSM with the ATT SIM card. My Sprint service no longer works, although I'm showing signal bars in the status bar. Whenever I try to make a call it says "Unable to validate your account. Please contact customer services."
I tried the steps listed in the first post but whenever I switch to GSM/UMTS and try to update the PRL it says "Authentication error. Please try again later."
It's also worth mentioning that my phone is rooted and I have frozen a lot of apps, most of which are listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/sprint-g3-bloatware-list-t2873199
If anybody out there can help I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure where else to turn.
You can try my guide it may allow you to fully unlock your settings so you can do what he is saying above.
Here is the thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/how-to-gsm-unlock-t2961099
Ok, after much research and many reboots, I've finally got it working. I tried several different methods but the one that finally worked for me was installing the CloudyG3 rom. I'm no expert by any means but my guess is because you have to completely overwrite any evidence of Sprint that is preventing the other carrier's SIM card from working (for me this was ATT through Straight Talk). I had to set my Network mode to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. My data is not quite as fast as I had hoped at 21.06 down 3.72 up but at this point it's better than nothing.
A couple problems I've noticed so far is after cloudy finished installing and my Lookout was running it's first test it flagged QuickApps and LGBackup as malicious apps. I didn't uninstall them yet because they seem harmless but I did freeze them with Rom Toolbox just in case. Can anybody confirm that they're safe or that uninstalling them won't cause any bugs? Also my messaging app no longer works which is a little disappointing as I really enjoyed it for a stock messaging app. Anybody know why this is?

Just checked, no update available on my EE H850.
I bought this EU variant of H850 from Taobao.com, an e-commerce web in China and the homepage of Chrome is set to m.ee.co.uk by default. I guess this proves that my H850 is an EE UK version. I just checked Settings->About Phone->Updater Center->Software Update->Check Now for Update and got the reply that "You are using the latest software version for current OS." Is it because I didn't get this phone directly from EE UK?

Thank you for the suggestion. I read this forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/tuto-update-h850-v10c-to-v10d-rooted-t3417348/page1 and found it troublesome to update to 10d with LG UP. I will just wait for flashable zips or CM Roms.
Besides, I'm staying in Kazakhstan for now, where there is no 4G network, yet. And the WiFi at my place is lousy. So none of the WiFi calling, VoLTE or another 4G band feature seems appealing.

Not sure you need an EE version of firmware. I bought mine from 3rd party and I believe it's generic firmware.
Build number MMB29M
Software version V10c234-30
Model LG-H850
Just turned Wifi calling on. 2 minutes later text message arrives and now I have the telephone handset icon with mini wifi logo on it in the top bar. Tried a call and it works.
If you want me to check anything else to confirm version just quote me back so I get notified
Update! I made a call it worked fine, received a call it answered but no audio. Then it turned off

I've done more testing. I had Airplane mode on and reactivated Wifi. That showed the Wifi Calling icon in status bar. I called my work line and it worked fine, then called my phone back and worked fine. Have received and made a few calls this afternoon with just Wifi and it's been great.
To set it up the EE articles state be on wifi, go to Settings - Networks - Call - Wi-Fi Calling - turn it on. I received a text a few minutes later saying I was setup. That's all I've done.
http://ee.co.uk/help/phones-and-device/wifi-calling - States corporate users need 4GEE but no mention of that for pay monthly, that said EE was set up as a 4G mobile provider so all contracts should be 4GEE. Does state not supported on pay as you go.

Hi folks,
The title pretty much says it all. I've got a new unlocked P6 bought from Google, using it on AT&T here in the US. It doesn't show VoLTE and when I go in to turn on VoWIFI I get an error to the effect that "we couldn't turn on VoWIFI."
The VoLTE worked out of the box on my prior phone (OP6T) but I never attempted VoWIFI with it.
Is there a special process to go through, or do I need to chat up the ATT reps? It's possible I'm not provisioned appropriately; my SIM is the same SIM I've been using on several phones over a good number of years.
Before I go in "cold" to a conversation with them I'd prefer to know exactly what to ask them for.
Thanks
Here's their whitelist:
Note this is the latest updated list (edit)
I had to have them enable it for me. I did it via chat support. It broke the ability took make regular calls but a quick call back (from a different phone) and it was fixed.

Lol, what could go wrong?
Yeah, be afraid, be very afraid
On with chat now. Just gave them my IMEI. We shall see soon
OK, I'm all set. I think, or maybe I hope.
The chat function worked well. After getting past the chatbot I spoke with a real agent, explained my need, and she quickly took my IMEI and got it set up in the system. I got a text quickly that some ATT stuff got activated (I'll be able to turn on spam blocking and such). I was able to go in after a reboot and turn on wifi calling, leaving my preference as using Mobile Network.
I made a test call and it actually used the Wifi instead of mobile, which concerned me. I disconnected from my hotspot and tried a call, and mobile network calling worked fine, though.
Agent said my preference setting should take hold within 24 hours, in any case. We also went into the dial menu and verified VoLTE was turned on:
"Open dial and Type *#*#4636#*#* Choose Phone information option from test Screen. Now you can Enable VoLTE Support Provisioned Flag. Restart your device. Now you can see 4G LTE option under Network Bar. This will activate unlimited HD Voice Calls."
It was on and grayed out, so should be active. Just surprised there was no special icon showing in status bar like my old phone had.
Everything seems to be working so I think I'm good to go. Thanks for your help guys!
edit: after getting me set up she did a hard sell to get me to use the eIMEI for another ATT account. I declined.

See my post above. Enter the code in the dialer to access the hidden menu. It will bring up a screen that shows some settings, one will be the switch for VoLTE. For me it showed on but grayed out, which apparently is the correct setting. If it shows off, that would mean you aren't provisioned for it and need help from your carrier.

*#*#4636#*#* Thanks, very nice. On my N10+/pie this is the only place were the VoLTE setting can be seen as a toggle which is on. Yay.
Oh, one other note. Wifi calling seems to be working fine, though I haven't had a chance to check its integration with Google's visual voicemail.
What I notice is that the decision to use wifi instead of mobile is kinda hair-trigger. At my home, LTE bars are low but calls always work just fine. However, now with wifi calling turned on (with preference being mobile network), the system usually decides to use wifi anyway due to low signal. I also noticed at a grocery store, where my phone auto connects to their wifi, that when I was in the back of the store (weak LTE) it switched to wifi calling mode, then switched back to regular mode in the front of the store (strong LTE signal).
So, the system is conservative and moves over to wifi pretty often rather than treating it like a last resort. I guess that is good behavior.

I have an unlocked P6 direct from Google on AT&T. I have it greyed out but on. Does that mean I need to contact AT&T?
I had never gotten wifi calling set up on anybody my previous phones, so I definitely needed to get that turned on/provisioned for my account. The rep also told me that adding my non-ATT IMEI was needed; indeed several options became available once that was done. I don't think anybody this was needed for VoLTE though.
So pat of this might just have been due to my account history.
To cap this off, I got a wifi call just now and it transcribed fine.

Not needed for VoLTE on AT&T as I can switch the sim card between my AT&T N975U1 and unlocked N975U seamlessly. However I never use wifi, tethering or more advanced features on these two devices... so no idea about that.
I have two used LG G8x - G850QM (unlocked) and G850UM (Sprint unlocked).
I am on T-Mobile for years.
The G850QM on T-Mobile shows wifi-calling on the menu and it works.
The G850UM has no wifi-calling switch on the menu, just not there.
I installed WiFi Calling app from Widget7 from Play Store. The app seemed to bring out a hidden WiFi calling menu. And the WiFi calling works. I confirmed the WiFi calls on my T-Mobile bill portal.
Hope this can help

Video Calling Provisioned
WiFi Calling Provisioned
EAB/Presence Provisioned
But all the "switches" were grayed out.
This is in my daiily driver LG G8X g850UM on T-Mobile.
I assumed VoLTE is working automatically.
Most people with tmobile on this phone have found that for calls the phone goes from 4g to 3g when making a call. You will only see this transition if you are looking at the 4g indicator while on the call.
The concern is when T-Mobile discontinues 3g next month then you will not be able to make phone calls.
If you dont mind you might take a look as you make a call and see if it stays on 4g.
I understand. I, with 4 LG phones on Tmobile, am in the same boat with a lot of people. And I have purchased more LG phones- 3 V40 , 1 G7 and 3 Q7+ before I learned about the network transition.
Tmobile did a piss poor job in explaining the 3G shutdown.
Today is 4/1, with my Sprint-unlocked LG G8X, I can make a call and the LTE indicator stayed on.
This is what Tmobile has announced.
As of March 31, 2022, Sprint’s older 3G (CDMA) network will be retired
As of June 30, 2022, Sprint’s LTE network will be retired
As of July 1, 2022, T-Mobile’s older 3G UMTS network will be retired
Also Tmobile has delayed Sprint 3G shutdown until May 30.
Downloaded app and enabled, but all my buttons are still greyed out and it definitely still goes to 3g during a call? Not sure why it is not working on my phone?
It has something to do with the combination of native ROM, TMobile or Sprint SIM card in use, provisioning of VoLTE, and the (T-Mobile) LTE channels supported in your phone. I have not figured everything out yet.
It will be a rough ride for me until July 1 when the transition is over.
Forget what I've posted. I f'ked up. I mixed up 2 models.
I just received a T-Mobile email telling me my daily driver G850UM does not have the Volte turned on.
I looked up Phone Info and found Volte Provisioned switch is off and grayed out. When I wrote the post on March 31 the Volte Provisioned switch was on but grayed out.
I swap SIm card to the G850QM phone, and the Volte Provisioned switch is visible and in ON position. Look like I need to switch phone near term. And then find a way to cross flash QM firmware onto UM model. Need research. Fvk T-Mobile and the other two for doing their fake 5G rollout.
Thank you Buontinh. Got Volte, WiFi calling and video calling on my LG G7X G850UM on 20P software.
Uploaded the modded abl_a to both _a and _b. Insert an active T-Mobile SIM card, got new TMobile bootup logo. Got the wifi-calling switch. Got into Phone Info and saw votle Provisioned, WiFi calling provisioned, and video calling provisioned. Grayed out however. I made a call to my landline and the 4G LTE light stayed on. I guess it is working.
Still on Android 10 however.
The most difficult part was to get the phone on EDL mode. Must have tried 20 times before getting the "dark screen" EDL mode, only to learn that a Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 driver was needed too.
So I followed the below directions from reddit and it worked great on my velvet. I did the same thing on my LG g8x with *#546368#*850# code and I now have Volte, however phone still drops to 3g when it makes a call any thoughts on how to fix that?
There is a way to force enable VoLTE on the "LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim" specifically your version which is the "LM-G910EMW".
By default the feature is disabled on this model variant for who knows why.
Follow the steps below: 1. Click on the "Phone" app and dial "##4636##" -If done correctly it'll automatically bring you to the "testing" settings menu.
Click on "Phone Information" -you should see a list of VoLTE settings however by default they are disabled and greyed out but don't worry there's a way to reactivate VoLTE. (You Will Come Back to this Menu later)
Go to your file app and create a file named "enable_ue" -thats all you need to do just create the file, nothing more nothing less.
Go back to the "Phone" App and dial "#*462633*#910#" -This code is specific to the variant and will not work on other non LM-G910EMW Phones. Dialing this should bring up the "Hidden LG Menu"
Select Field Test>Universal Enabler>Create New Config -a menu with check boxes for VoLTE options appearing
Select the boxes as follows "VoLTE" "ViLTE" "VoWifi" "ViWifi" And finally hit "Confirm" -a prompt will appear stating "Vo Services Updated"
Immediately restart your phone to allow the settings to kick in
After your phone has restarted go into your Settings>Network & Internet>Mobile Networks -If done correctly the VoLTE option will now be unlocked and available.
Switch on the "VoLTE"
Now to double check that your phone now truly has VoLTE enabled, repeat steps 1-2. If done correctly the menu should now say "VoLTE Provisioned Video Calling Provisioned Wifi Calling Provisioned " -if these 3 are all switched on then you have successfully force enabled VoLTE on your LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim LM-G910EMW, congratulations!

I have two used LG G8x - G850QM (unlocked) and G850UM (Sprint unlocked).
I am on T-Mobile for years.
The G850QM on T-Mobile shows wifi-calling on the menu and it works.
The G850UM has no wifi-calling switch on the menu, just not there.
I installed WiFi Calling app from Widget7 from Play Store. The app seemed to bring out a hidden WiFi calling menu. And the WiFi calling works. I confirmed the WiFi calls on my T-Mobile bill portal.
Hope this can help

Hello, I sintalled the app and it leads to a LG look menu I never encoutered with a WiFi calling switch !
However, when I go back to the app, then press again the button to open the menu, the switch is disabled.
Any idea how to keep it active ?
