Can ANYONE who has the Mate 20 Pro and has T-Mobile (U.S.) as well confirm whether or not VoLTE is an option?? Please, if you do have it, let me know. Also, please: 1) Provide a screenshot of a phone call in progress (using stock calling app) 2) Provide the model # (L09 ((Single SIM) or L29 ((Dual SIM))). 3) Mention if Wi-Fi Calling is listed as well or not. 4) A screenshot of the settings page with VoLTE listed would be helpful as well, but it's NOT as important as #1.
Thank you all in advance!!

Ok. Thanks leo! That sux.
Anyone got the L29 Dual SIM version?? If so, VoLTE?!! lol
LYA-L29 does not have T-Mobile VoLTE.
Strangely, the Mate 20 X does support T-Mobile VoLTE.

WTF? You have proof of this?? lol
It doesn't have anything to do with T-Mobile certifying one phone for Volte and not the other--both support the necessary bands. There's just a line of code different in the OS.
With the Xiaomi Mix 2 & Mix 2S the former supported Volte on T-Mobile and the latter didn't despite having the same modem and band support. But in MIUI a dial code turns off the coding for carrier check and voila--the 2S supports Volte on T-Mobile just like the Mix 2.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything like that on Huawei phones but a software update could easily add Volte compatibility.

The thing with T-Mobile is, your phone can have Band 12 on it, but T-Mobile doesn't allow you to use for calls (only data) unless the phone has certified VoLTE on it. At least THIS is what I was told. But you may be right b/c the newest Sony phone (Xperia XZ3) as far as I know doesn't have T-Mo VoLTE certification, yet when I got it (and later returned it cuz the camera was surprisingly under par), I was able to have VoLTE on a call b/c, just not in 4G LTE. But the call showed "HD+" which means VoLTE was there, even w/o VoLTE in the Settings menu. And the newest T-Mobile 2018 phones (meaning the ones sold by T-Mo directly) don't have it listed either...........so I dunno anymore! lol I guess now it's not about having 4G LTE during a call, it's about if you see HD+ or HD something while making a call on the stock phone app.
Wow! That's pretty cool. Yeah I hope Huawei does that. I just got the OnePlus 6T from T-Mo and traded in my LG V30, so it's too late now anyway. I'd still like to see proof of the 20X having it though, cuz next spring I am considering upgrading again (since I got 6T for only $280 with trade-in) to the P30 Pro maybe. But if no VoLTE, again I will pass on it.
Anyone here get Volte on T-Mobile with Mate 20 Pro?
I was not able to find a way to get volte working on my l29, but I did install tmo digits. After the install, I called someone and was able to stay on 4g lte and was able to use wifi calling(using my number) . I think its a great work around.

no it is not about phone .. it is about your operator ... ask them if they have launched it yet .. what i know no one operator has HD voice yet .. maybe in korea or japan .. advanced tech countries..
so simply if u can have 4g then it is up to your OP which has it launched or activated.. otherwise no..
am on 4g and obviously when i make call it jumps to 3g .. crappy canny sound about 64kbps or maybe less..
I am on Metro PCS which is now MetroPCS/TMobile -same Towers etc.
MetroPCS was I think first to feature VoLTE long before the Merger.
This means we were able to surf the Internet while on a call , even play Videos while on a call and staying on the LTE Bands.
Researching the purchase of my Alpha I talked and texted with TMobile personnel etc and checked for proper Bands BUT was never reminded that many phones do NOT have the software for VoLTE.
So my Alpha 850 M does NOT do VoLTE on Metro/Tmobile because it does NOT have Software for this- it may be added with Android Lollipop.
THIS is the problem with most non Carrier Phones on Metro/Tmobile-I assumed it was just good matching Bands and my Alpha has the LTE Bands for Tmo BUT a phone needs the Software to do VoLTE .
I am not a Dev so feel free to correct this if I am not correct BUT I was surprised when I make a call
on Alpha to see the LTE indicator drop to 3G as soon as I make a call and no simultaneous Internet
BUT when H+ kicks in, sometimes very fast sometimes not I can be on Internet or even Youtube while on a call and the H+ is pretty fast.
I am playing around with the Settings to optimize
the switching having NO idea what I am doing just trial and error, lol.
There is a SLIM chance that there IS a Kies Download or a enable feature buried deep within the Alpha but I doubt it.
Yes, I am using Galaxy Alpha SKTelecom model, and i can use VoLTE. So it depends on your carrier, I think. Thanks.

I get VoLTE on my T-Mobile Galaxy Avant in my area, but I do NOT get VoLTE with my Galaxy Alpha. That seems to point to the device.

Yes because the Avant is a Tmobile/MetroPCS Phone it has that feature in it's Software to utilize that feature on TMo/Metro Network.
I am NOT sure if ANY Smartphone is smart enough to have VoLTE across multiple Carrier Networks- I think this is Carrier Specific .
However I have read but not confirmed that Lollipop may feature VoLTE.
If Alpha was a Tmobile phone it would have VoLTE on Tmo/Metro Network. But it is not a Tmobile Phone.
Does ANY unlocked phone do VoLTE on TMobile ? That is the question.

Is the US version of the Z5 compact separate hardware? Or is it the e5823 with custom software for the US that has full Tmo support?
I read that they dropped the fingerprint sensor for the US versions of the z5 and z5c.

This is why I'm asking if the hardware is different or just software. So we know if we can keep the e5823 and just get software.

What do you mean by "full Tmo support?" Do you mean VoLTE and WiFi calling? Unless it's a T-Mobile branded phone it will probably not support those things. I've had several unlocked Android phones on T-Mo and they did not have those features (including my Z3 Compact and Z5 Compact). The only one that comes close is the iPhone which does have WiFi calling on T-Mobile when using the unlocked version (because, I assume, they have no branding anyway).
We must have made our threads very close. I was asking the same thing. On one hand, the US version doesn't have the fingerprint scanner but may have better radios for the US carriers.. On the other hand if the international version has the same radios, it's also cheaper. Not sure what to do as I don't seem to have a clear answer.

This is not accurate. Nexus 5x, 6p, HTC One A9 all have proper T-Mo support including Band 12, VoLTE, HD Voice and WiFi Calling and are unlocked/unbranded. Pretty sure Moto X does too.

OK. I had a Nexus 5X and I don't remember support for WiFi calling, but I only had it for two days. My Sony devices don't support it.
I guess the correct answer is it depends on the device.

According to Amazon site for Z5 Compact "Fingerprint sensor is not supported." (see last line of specs under "From the Manufacturer.") Read: It's there, but without software support.
This leads me to believe that hardware is identical to E5803 or E5823 and only fingerprint sensor software/drivers are not included in US customization.
That makes more sense than Sony building a completely different model for the US market that they would have to support with different parts, etc.
Also means that someone with a US variant should try flashing a non-US customization and see if the sensor 'awakens.'

Yes, that probably would work. You can get it more easily buying one from Clove UK with the sensor software already functional.
Granted you'd have to return it to Clove for warranty support but I wonder how a US distributor would handle warranty support on a phone with a different customization. I suppose you could put the US version back on it for support.
Looks like the bands are better for US carriers including the infamous band 12 for Tmobile. Think I'll go this route since I'm on Tmobile

Hmm. This is what I'm trying to figure out for sure. Obviously if I can get away with a UK model and still have the same bands.. It will save me money. Just read that b12 was NOT on the UK and Asian models. Do you have a source?

I'm using an Asian model and get a band 12 signal on T-Mobile according to LTE Discovery
I ordered mine from amazon, and am using on T-Mobile, it does have fingerprint sensor. Pretty sure there is one model that supports pretty much every band there is. US model is the same except the fingerprint sensor as I read in the news, not sure how I can tell mine is US model as it is not indicated anywhere.
Ever since I got out of my contract and started using prepaid I never bought a single phone from a carrier. ****ty logos, apps and sometimes software, and apparently now different hardware? No thanks..

hey everyone, I'd like to open a discussion about getting carrier aggregations on our phones, as you already know many of us can't get this feature that's already been implemented on our carriers in many countries or in some countries one carrier does and one doesn't. it's called LTA-A, LTE plus. 4G Plus network
I saw a post on reddit and I quote :
"TIL : Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo) doesn't support Inter-band CA
Recently, I just bought a carrier aggregation enabled operator's SIM card (Digi) to try out this phone's CA aka LTE-A aka 4G+. For your information, I live in Malaysia and you could look up for this operator in this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Asia. To my surprise, there's no 4G+ icon show up so I'd decided to look up for more info on Chinese MIUI regarding this. Users that are able to access 4G+ are all China Mobile users and China Telecom users are not able to. China Mobile had intra-band CA and China Telecom had inter-band CA and hence I came with a conclusion, this phone doesn't support Inter-band CA."
which makes sense to me, as the carrier in my country which is Iran uses Inter-Band CA and won't work on my phone which is kenzo(rn3).also none of the xiaomi phones work either (entry level to flagship ones)
so, does anyone have the knowledge to tell me and the others that is it possible to change Intra-Band CA to Inter-Band CA? or is it the hardware that should be changed in order to work?
note : LTE bands aren't the issue here, both carrier and phones support them.
@TheStrix @flar2 @franciscofranco @MEGAX91 @billchen1977 @dadi11 @psndna88 @xyyx (please don't mind the order)
any suggestions regarding this issue?
@MEGAX91 I believe you were successful on your device(kate). is there a complete guide for everyone that could follow?

I have the EU/NA variant (DN2103) and I'm using it on T-Mobile in the USA. There are no options for Wifi calling or Volte and I'm unable to use any dialer codes to activate them. However, I do have good LTE service and everything works as expected. There are a lot of people in other countries on the OnePlus forums complaining at VoLTE not being supported and supposedly it has to be enabled for various carries by OnePlus. I'm hoping the Android 12 update will enable Wifi Calling and VoLTE, as it IS reportedly working on certain carriers in other countries.
That's disappointing, I had a Chinese version of the OnePlus 7 (Red!) for a brief period. I was surprised wifi call was working with it.

I'm suprised also. My OnePlus 6, 7 Pro and 7T all supported WIFI calling on T-Mobile, BUT they were all sold in the USA. The Nord 2 is not meant for USA consumption, so I have a feeling that's why it doesn't support wifi calling and VoLTE here.
Its still strange that i hadnthe chinese editon of the op7 had wifi calling working and the nord 2 doesnt, neither phone was for the US, maybe tmobile changed something

Yup. And my own from the same network. Then I switched back to Vodafone.
Just an update, after reading one of the other posts on here, and checked then*#*#4636#*#* . I discovered I have the option of VoLTE, it's just not available on my phone tariff. I have VoWifi working fine.
It appears there's hope for us all yet .
Ps. Vowifi is showing not available, probably because I'm not not WiFi. And have good reception here . At home it definitely works.
