I was in an area with no tmobile network and was not able to use the wifi calling and mobile texting. I tried using tmobiles APN without success.
Anyone able to get wifi calling working?
I am on Mui global 11.0.11.
Any 3rd party rom with wifi calling working?
Thanks!
Correct. It doesn't work. This has been discussed before and is known. There's no apparent way to activate it. You can "unlock" the sliders in the settings menu for both wifi calling and VoLTE, but neither one works.
Anyone roms with working wifi calling and text?
Wifi calling does work with my Curtana 9S global. I'm on EE in the UK, no special permissions required from my operator, same with VoLTE. Both worked straight out of the box. Note the wifi calling icon in screenshot.
The problem might be down to your carrier.

I'm not saying I trust their word, but I spent some time talking to T-Mobile tech support, and he assured me it was a software issue. Maybe he was lying, but I'm hoping with MIUI, we may see it work.

Who knows when we'll get Mui 12.
Can anyone confirm wifi calling (tmobile USA) working with 3rd party ROM?

I'm in your exact situation. I also use T-Mobile. I also don't have a network preferences option. I unlocked both the wifi calling and the VoLTE option using the phone dialer codes that are posted on here somwhere. But neither seem to do anything as they are switched on. I'm inclined to believe that it IS IN FACT a software bug because I also have a Xiaomi Mi Note 10 using the same exact software (MIUI) and VoLTE and Wifi Calling work fine on that device.

I hope mui12 will solve this issue. I need wifi calling.
I have Tmo as well. I was unable to get volte/WiFi calling to work either with stock or on Havoc 3.7. The only alternative I came up with was to activate WiFi calling within google voice as a backup. WiFi calling worked through gvoice. I tested by removing my Tmo sim, and was able to make a call via WiFi only.
I believe it is a combination of both software and Tmo network configuration. Texting is also finicky always. However, gvoice is the only solution that I have come up with.
My previous phone, Umidigi, WiFi calling did work on stock firmware, but not on third party.
I've spent way too much time dealing with T-Mobile tech support trying to get wifi calling to work. I think it is a mix of both software and carrier interference. From what I gather, the crux of the issue is that your carrier has to approve IMS Registration. I don't believe there is a way to force it, unless someone would like to tell me I'm wrong.
I love this device, but it is becoming difficult to keep with Wifi calling unavailable as my coverage in my house is terrible.

Hi,
I am using Mate 20 Pro (LYA-L29) in US and the firmware is 232. I am pretty sure that my carrier (not U.S. carrier) supports VoWifi and I used it on this Mate 20 Pro before while I was not in U.S. After I moved to U.S., I also updated the firmware and the Wifi Calling option has gone since then. To double check what is the cause, I inserted this SIM card into an iPhone and Wifi calling was available and worked well. Therefore, I think it is a problem of this phone.
Does anyone encounter a similar problem?
Thanks!
Different networks operate WiFi calling in slightly different ways. I know that my Mate 9 didn't support WiFi calling in the US but has done in other places without issue.

I don't quite understand why wifi calling depends on the physical place. Say I set the phone to airplane mode and connect the phone to different wifi routers in different places. The wifi standard is always the same and the phone may not be able to tell where it is.
VoWiFi and VoLTE (WiFi and 4G calling) are network and handset dependant. If a particular network hasn't authorised a particular handset, or if that handset doesn't have the specific settings needed for a particular network; then VoWiFi and / or VoLTE won't work.
I installed "Network Cell Info" to check the status of Wifi Calling and the availability of Wifi Calling is No. I notice that the devices prior to mate 20 pro have a secret menu and there is a switch to turn on the availability of Wifi calling. However, the secret menu code does not work anymore in my mate 20 pro.
This is so fvcked that despite my carrier (from which I GOT THE DAMN PHONE) supporting VoWiFI (I had it working on my S7Edge before this) and despite VoLTE working on my Mate 20P, they just won't enable it on Mate 20P.
Guess what...it DOES work on P20/30 Pro, from day 1. Go figure.
Also...got a SIM from a different carrier...bam, VoWiFi working on mate 20P.
This is madness....I'm running out of hair to pull.
PS I went as far as installing Nova launcher so I can create a widget to ENABLE VoWiFi (which normally does not show up in the Settings) but of course it does not do anything because the carrier did not enable it for the phone.
i have same problem in Israel carier
i have the volte switch but its not working.
other carier its worked automatically but their internet i cant watch youtube at 1080p

My situation is exactly the same. I have a switch for VoLTE but not for VoWifi. I also tried Nova launcher, but it did not work.
The strange thing is that the sim + mate 20 pro works in one place, but not in the US.
So i got my Mi 8 Pro yesterday (Global Version). The one feature I cannot seem to activate is Wifi Calling, I have done both the *#*#86583#*#* (voLTE) and *#*#869434#*#* (voWIFI), both options are enabled in *#*#4636#*#* and when i go into my sim settings both VoLTE and Wifi Calling are enabled
voLTE shows the symbol in my task bar however wifi calling never seems to enable? Is there some other setting I am missing or do I need to get EE to disable and re-enable it on my account since I've swapped phones? It's vital for me as I work in a lot of places without cell reception so i rely on wifi calling.
Any help is appreciated

Hello, my friend is also like you, he is the development version of WiFi can not be used but the stable version of the MIUI system can be used. You can try to re-wire the stable version of the MIUI system, I wish you good luck.
I really need WiFi Calling in order to reasonably use this phone for calls from my house due to a poor Network signal. There is no Wifi Calling option in Calls -> Settings or in Settings -> Network & internet -> Mobile network anywhere. Also when I do *#*#4636#*#* and go into Phone information Wifi Calling Provisioned option is grayed out.
Nope. Last time I saw wifi calling available was on the XZP. Wasn't an option for the XZ3, and still not an option for the Xperia 1. Try giving tmobile a call or maybe sony support and ask if they can add wifi calling support.

Which frimeware is that ? Is that US unbranded
Nope, no wifi calling for me. I originally had the J9110 model (international dual sim, hong kong) but i recently flashed it with the US firmware. No dice, unfortunately. But since changing to the US firmware, I now get VoLTE and group message in Android Messages. It's a start.
Ya VoLTE is working fine and appears as provisioned in the hidden menu. So it seems like I will have to do something similar to what I did on the XZ Premium in order to get WiFi Calling...but I will wait until there is a DRM backup process.

I see the same thing as you. How did you do it on the xz premium?
I had to root it and flash a zip that someone made for it, it might be possible to use the same zip but I'm not going to root mine until there is a DRM backup method. I barely every talk on the phone without LTE service so it's more so just really annoying not having WiFi Calling. I think a bunch of people were using the same zip for the 2017/2018 xperia phones to get it working.
I have XZ premium and XZ1 and wifi calling option is displayed when I use the Jio sim but not displayed when using Airtel sim (using Airtel broadband), so our phones do have wifi calling facility but working only with Jio sim, although Sony is not shown in the compatible phones list. I am in India.
That also stresses me out on My Xperia 5. Don't know If You talked about My Zips for VoLTE and the other Features but i didn't get it to work actually on Android 10. Possible that i just don't have the right Firmware atm (Customized EU / My Devices Firmware isn't Out yet), so i'm using Custom UK Firmware but that should also work... I'm a bit confused so i switched to GSIs which Made it even worse... Looks like we should start making Custom Vendors for our Xperias since the Methods changed over Android 7-8-9-10
Can you flash the dual sim model to work with a single sim firmware and does Wi-fi Calling Work later?
yes, that's what i did with my xz3. volte works with tmobile, but not att.
I am having a BEAR of a time getting wifi calling working on my phone on Mint Mobile.
I swapped the SIM card to my older note 8 and wifi calling is perfectly humming along. But on this phone it isn't.
I even rooted the phone, used magisk, and the hide-config prop. I enabled as many wfc, ims permissions as I could and still no go.
Anyone have any input or success for themselves?
Wifi Calling Works
It works in India.Don't know about other countries ?
I can confirm WiFi calling works on this device. India, airtel here. You may have to enable it in settings>network & internet>mobile network>advanced>WiFi calling.
Your carrier has to also support this feature
This phone is a fail in the US in so many ways. How can Motorola launch a phone here without bands 12, 17, or 71? Reception will be so limited outside of major cities and in buildings.
Hey guys,
neither my Wifi Calling, nor 5G doesnt work on my Redmi K30 Ultra. Not sure whats the deal behind it, maybe its the Mediatek chip or that it doesn't pass Safety Net or that its not made for Europe.
Anyway: Can we hack this somewhere? Maybe modify some props or something and magically make it work?
Thanks so much! <3
More info: I've done the usual stuff like activating Wifi calling, VoLTE and 5G in settings and also disabled carrier check via number code. I also tried all 3 big carriers in germany
Telefonica/O2: Nothing works
Vodafone: LTE "works", it shows an HD icon at the top but Wifi Calling doesnt work and 5G doesnt either. Shows both VoLTE and Wifi Calling as enabled in Phone Info.
Telecom: Nothing works, but it shows in Phone Info that VoLTE and Wifi Calling is enabled.
@Mirardt
Per description the phone supports Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE and LTE, so I think it's not a chipset problem. Carriers will typically sell these data services with smartphones as part of a bundle.
I guess it is a problem with carrier ( data plan chosen ). You can try to contact your carrier and check if everything is correct from there end.
In no case your issue has something to do with SafetyNet API what is an anti-abuse API application developers can implement.

Hey there, yes everything is activated from the side of my carrier and also i spoke with vodafone technical support and they activated everything they could, reset the network etc.
Also both VoLTE and Wifi Calling work on the iPhone with all of the cards. So it has to be something on the phone.

Sometimes they just block per device model (supporting only phones that were certified for their network) and you need to convince them to let you in
Or, you could (again) play with props like ro.product.manufacturer and ro.product.model to pretend you have some fancy Samsung - bcs if it shows enabled in the settings, it's likely blocked at the time of handshaking and negotiating to use the service
It's also possible to capture the UE Capabilites offer (see attachement for my LTE part) and response - I will try to find where was the URL with know-how and instructions

I talked to a vodafone technical support guy and he said that everything is fine and open from their side. Also my phone runs with your fingerprints (Mi9T) for a week or so and it didnt change anything.
Do I understand it correctly, that all the methods you linked there only work with Qualcomm chips? Cause the K30 Ultra does have a Mediatek chip. :cyclops:

If the doc is only about Qualcomm, you will need to Google for e.g. MTK bands UE Capabilities
But MTK was usually more open, people were even able to easily change IMEIs.
There used to be a code for MTK Engineering mode, with options to enable bands and so

Ok do I understand correctly that UE Capabilities are parameters that my devices has that sends information if it can do 5G or VoWifi and so on?
After a bunch of Apps that refused to work with my phone (unknown device not supported) I did found one that looks promising. The problem is that I have only littly orientation and understanding. Can you see what setting might be relevent and maybe if we can get those UE Capabilities changed inside the app?
What I tried is switching the "Entitlement Status" of Wifi Calling on "Enable" (It was disabled as I opened the app), but nothing changed. The Entitlement server is left blank, maybe that could help?
Also I just swapped every possible thing from "false" to "true" inside ePDG Config, but it didnt help so I reseted it.
If you (or anybody else) could have a look and give me some direction I would grind it out myself!
edit: Upload doesn't work on this forum somehow, strange. Here is the Gdrive link.
Ok I just looked through every single option their is, screenshoting everything that seemed relevent.
There is band information that seems like it is what you mentioned and it is editable! @zgfg
Also a couple of other direct mentions of VoLTE, like props in IMS settings.

Very interesting, (as expected) you can control many things on MTK ( too many)
For LTE bands, I think you need bands 1,3,7,20 and you don't need TDD bands.
For 5G, googling tells me that for Germany you need: n1,n3,n28,n78,n258.
Suggesting you to double-check for your operator and enable what's missing and reboot.
B20 might be available in a shopping center, or dense busy district
In the Call* and IMS-Registration* screensots, are all those params enabled or you need to open another screen for each (modes)?
On the IMS, I would put VoLTE to Default, not to CMW500 - seems to be a mode for testing equipment.
Also, you could try SMS over 3GPP or 3GPP2 (that means SMS over IMS but when you register to IMS), but check does it still work over cellular
Last screenshot says that it's not registered to IMS, but seems there are additional settings for IMS authentication (that's about registering to IMS - VoLTE is an IMS service)
I pretty much tried everything out you suggested and it didnt work. Thats why I waited to work on that until I freshly reset my phone with GApps Pico and I did that yesterday. During the Installation process there are 2 question came up:
1. There are Google Carrier Services I can install through play store. No clue what it is, does it matter?
2. I have found multiple interesting sounding apps in system/priv-apps like "engineermode", MtkCapCtrl", "MtkTelecom", "MtkTelephony Assist" and "MtkTeleService", the only one I can find in Apps is "engineermode" and i didn't manage to open it. I tried to install the other apks but it didnt allow it. Anything that might help us?

Unfortuantely I was wrong about being to change them, but i do have most bands enabled. Im in Hamburg City so I should have very good access here.

Tried everything but it made no difference. Also tried IMS test mode on with and without SMS.
Also it keeps saying its not registered in PhoneInformation1.
Should we try to change those numbers in the VOLTE settings to something like this?
Edit: I activated logs telephony logs and somehow got a bug report without even calling somebody. Uploaded it.

wifi calling hardly ever works on foreign phones but my k30 ultra gets 5g on tmobile in my state.
Wifi calling hardly ever works on foreign phones but i get 5g on tmobile in my state , the k30 gets 3 bands that havent been listed , just get a mtk engineering mode app to see what bands you can work with.
