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.
Hi
I am not able to activate volte in India with jio volte. Jio provides volte. Kindly help me to activate volte. I am using sm-g850y.
Guys, since chipset (SD835) on v30 supports 3CA, while OP5/5T supports LTE+ on Indian carriers Jio and airtel,
Does LG v30 - Indian H930DS model support LTE+ on Jio by any chance?

If so, I would buy this right away, if H930DS supports LTE+ and VoLTE in custom ROMs. Need to confirm if VoLTE works in LOS..
This "VoLTE" in custom ROMs at XDA has been recently evolving as taboo..!
Anyways, do you use custom ROMs in your V30..?
EDITED TO CORRECT MISINFORMATION. YOU DO NOT LOSE DUAL SIM card functionality.

The Indian LG V30+ supports Jio VoLTE on stock India Nougat. Oreo for that region has not been released yet, and while you can flash to another region to get Oreo then you would lose the Jio VoLTE.
You can only get root by flashing to H930 or the CIS H930DS OREO KDZ.
Perhaps with root you can flash parts back to get VoLTE like the Verizon guys have done -- or even 2nd SIM back -- but I can't promise that.

Thanks for your help, but I'd want to clarify the context little clear.
As you might know, Jio is LTE-only carrier and VoLTE is the only way of calling in that network. However, my question is about something else, viz. LTE+ - The capability of the phone to support certain LTE features like multiple carrier aggregations (CA), 256QAM, 64x64MIMO
Here in India, two carriers namely, Airtel and Jio have enabled LTE-CA in major cities. Hence I would want to know since some V30 Indian guys were confirming me LTE+ in Stock ROM - if LTE+ is supported even in custom ROM after BL unlock?
(Reason, why I'm looking for this, is, networks here are so much congested that during peak time, I hardly get 200kBps from single Band40-TDD LTE cell. If LTE+ is available on custom ROMs like in OP5/6 it will help get over this congestion)

I don't know. I also just corrected my post for quoted. You don't lose dual SIM functionality with bootloader unlock and root on the H930.

Hi, just like volte support on our indian stock, the lte+ also works only Indian stock too.
I am currently on Boobox rom rooted with twrp and bootloader unlocked I dont get lte+. Rest assured everything is working great and on lte+ I saw nothing of much improvement over airtel since they have started to compete with jio prices.
So take my words root it and feel the freedom.

Thanks for stepping-in! I thought I wont get any further replies..
In my case, Jio has CA in 3 bands (Bands 3+5+40). And the place where I reside has pathetic network reception. I was about to switch to airtel, until I saw my friend OP5 getting marvellous speeds at the same place.
Also in your case, airtel has 2 bands CA (Bands 3+40). And since Band 3 will be so much congested, you wouldn't have got any considerable difference. Hence It should theoretically improve connectivity with my Jio..., However, before I jump, Can you install root app called NSG and share its screenshot?

Can you specify which screenshot you exactly looking as this app has more then 10 screens.
FYI it still has lte bands 1, 3, 5, 40 and 41 which are required in India.

I'm looking for LTE CA Matrix and LTE Cell Table pages
My current Redmi Note 4 though supports 2CA, some support on modem is missing it seems... Hence it's showing LTE+ in mine despite not aggregating with 2nd cell. I was suspecting LTE+ to be still there, but may be your ROM isn't showing you.. Hence those Screenshots would help understand that..

Here u go!
You can change and lock lte band by using this even without rooting *#546368#*930#
I'm a little confused as to why I am currently having this issue.
I'm on 20H US998 firmware currently in India and have unlocked band 40 using the T-Mobile hidden menu so theoretically I should be able to get full LTE coverage around India on this device but I am not able too.
My theory is that the US version of the V30 doesnt actually have the required firmware to operate on Jio with LTE at all.
I've verified this by flashing Lineage OS and getting the same issue.
SIM detected, jumps on network, no LTE = no VoLTE
Before you tell me I have the APN settings skewed im 99% sure I am right on that, however if anyone has any settings they would like me to try I would be happy too as currently I'm using my iPhone SE and I miss my 1440p OLED when I'm out and about

Jio VoLTE only works on two firmware -- ESA (India) H930DS and recent EU H930. I've only heard it working on H930DS phone, while using one of those two firmwares.
Just because you "unlocked" a band in hidden menu doesn't mean it's actually working. Same with unlocking the T-Mobile LTE band 71 on rooted US998.

Jio uses LTE bands 3, 5, 40. You're not going to get LTE band 40 on the US998, but you can get LTE bands 3 and 5. If you are in area where Jio has LTE bands 3 and 5, you should get a regular data connection. Do you live in an area where Jio uses only LTE band 40?

I don't think you understand. I'm able to get service where other devices I own are connecting to 3, and 5. However, the LTE icon never shows, preventing me from getting LTE connectivity altogether. I'm observing the same behaviour with my US SIM card which shows bars, but once more no LTE.

That sounds like an authorization issue, with Jio. Where you can see bars but not actually connect it's because the carrier is not letting you connect.

Maybe it’s my Sprint IMEI number??? Idk. I just tried to flash the H930 EU TWRP zip and restored my US998 modem, but SIM wasn’t detected. Maybe I need LGUP.

I was double check the APN, and contact Jio technical support. Maybe they need to do something on their end for your US998 to connect.

Hope you get data working on LTE bands 3 and 5.
I have an unlocked H932 that I have been using in Mexico without any problem but after upgrading to Pie i can't find the option to enable VoLTE (my carrier supports the function VoLTE).
With Oreo there was no problem and VoLTE worked perfectly but now when making a call it changes from 4G to 3G, is it a known issue or is it just my phone?

I just asked my wife who recently updated her H932 to Pie, running it on Red Pocket GSMA (AT&T). She's not seeing the VoLTE option either.
My guess is T-Mobile took it out and only shows it when connected to the TMO network. Or they just enable VoLTE automatically on their network without displaying the option. Like most companies, carriers will do whatever it takes to avoid having to compete on price, so they're looking for any little at advantage they can come up with to differentiate and keep customers on their network.
FWIW, VoLTE never worked on Oreo either with my H932 on Red Pocket GSMA because AT&T reserves VoLTE for post paid customers. I can enable it on the phone, but it doesn't do anything. I am told it DOES work on Red Pocket GSMT (T-Mobile) which is a pretty good deal for such a low-priced service.
nevermind....

Try messing with the operator parameter in build.prop, OPEN/NAO should unlock it, assuming VoLTE is available on the free market US998 version
ATT will ONLY work upto 3g. You will see an H on top the signal bar which indicates a Enhanced 3g speed also know as HSPA speed connection. I have tried 2 new sim cards. I have tried several APN's I have tried all updates and a reset. No 4G and no 5G on ATT. Unless someone can tell me something new, this phone will not FULLY work on ATT. Text works. Calls work. Internet is sort of hit and miss with decent signal but again rather slow.
T Mobile will ONLY work upto 4g. No Volte although it seems to have the capability of Volte it cant not work with Tmobile Volte because it seems the cell bands are not compatible. Text work. Internet works rather fast, Good solid signal however no 5G and no Volte due to incompatible cell bands.
I did research on this subject and found that the ATT cell bands for everything including 5G do seem to be compatible with the 7 pro but again, it does not FULLY work oddly
I also did research on Tmobile cell bands and the bands for 5G are not even close to being compatible. Volte is also non compatible. 4g is compatible and works..
That is disappointing to hear as I have been looking into this phone and assumed it would have full usage on ATT.

[Guide] Easy method to Enable Volte (with root) on Tmobile and maybe other networks on Android 11 and maybe 10
So first you have to root. I used twrp and magisk. There are guides on how to do that you can find by searching around. Then once you do that, follow these directions, What I did was manually entered all of these setprop commands below, on the...

Sorry, thought you were asking about setting up Volte on the Zenfone 7, so I pasted that link.
To use this phone in TMobile, no special activation is needed. Just a tmobile sim that can handle voice / data.
