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.
I have Verizon Wireless on my G965F- rooted, of course. I am able to get VoLTE to work, but not Wifi-calling. Do you know how to get it to work? Alo, note-worthy is in shortcut master, there are options for invoking Verizon wireless wifi-calling, amongst other providers in the US, but I get an error...
Thanks

The phone is relatively new and since it's not mainstream most carriers don't support it yet. Some people say they have VoLTE enabled and it works but I personally switched to Singapore EX and it seems VoLTE isn't detected at all so I started digging and it seems this issue is present in most Chinese phones. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-activate-volte-and-vowifi-simple-and-clear.4116051/) In this thread they used the Qualcomm tool and exploit the bug in EngineerMode on OnePlus phones which we don't have an access to and since we can't root or unlock the bootloader we can't modify build.prop or change any system files.
-----Maybe it's my carrier, maybe it's the Singapore ROM so please if VoLTE and VoWifi works for you could you post here which country you're on, which ROM version and if you changed region before or not.------
First a warning: If you aren't tech-savvy, experiencing issues or want to potentially turn your phone in a paper weight do NOT try this at the moment. We do not have the tool to restore your phone back (wiping data might work but idk). You can send your phone to Oppo for repair but you might have to wait for a month or two.
I don't know if you need to unlock your phone from the other thread to have access to this mode(I did have it all decrypted during this test) but in addition to the *#808# engineer mode and *#*#4636#*#*(Where you can check if you have VoLTE enabled) I found we have access to *#36446337#.
In *#36446337# I managed to enter "Protocol test switch" -> "MBN TEST" and switch my profile from Common-Commercial(I think it was this one) to Commercial-DT-VOLTE. The phone rebooted and everything is fine but "MBN Validate" is giving me an error when I run it and I can't test if it works because I'm currently out of the country and my temporary SIM provider doesn't support VoLTE.
It's probably nothing and the error is because of the lack of developer files on the ROM but I need people who can test if these profiles act like the flashing from the Qualcomm tool in the thread mentioned above.
So once again if you don't have VoLTE enabled and are feeling a bit courageous - give it a try.
I think the problem maybe for those that changed to Pakistan build on Android 10 and then switched to Singapore ex to get ColorOS 11 and dual SIM meant that things like VoLTE do not work on those builds.
I did it a different way as wasn't bothered about dual SIM. I was on A.46 UK , waited for EU to get ColorOS11 , then switched to EUEX on sec5 and downloaded ColorOS11 c.57 through Belgium VPN.
VoLTE is working for me. it's not present in SIM settings( WiFi calling is) however when I look at my call log there is a VoLTE HD icon next to all my calls, so is working.
Since being on ColorOS11, I have tried several different regions on SEC tool, EUEX dual SIM, Singapore EX, back to GB CPW to check still works and now back to EUEX. Build number always changes to different region in about phone when I have made any changes and check however VoLTE has always remained working for me and is showing as provisioned in engineer mode.
I am from Germany and have a phone with Vodafone FW originally. I switched region to Singapore EX, than installed the Pakistan FW and got C.5 and C.6 via OTA. I switched the region to EUEX (DUAL SIM) and didn't receive the update to C.57, so I switched back to Singapore EX and got the update to C.57 when using VPN Hongkong, which was quite funny.
VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling is working fine with Vodafone, but you can't toggle it in the hidden service menu, it's just active! You can activate or deactivate Wi-Fi calling in the regular settings, but VoLTE is just there, you can't deactivate it.
Both Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE are shown in the bar on the top. With the former Vodafone FW, VoLTE was not shown with an icon, but it was nevertheless working.
Hy here T-Mobile shown volte and Vodafone don't shows but on the status bar there is the volte symbol

I am in the same boat as you. I rebranded to Singapore to get ColorOS 11 update, to use 2 SIM and Call Recording, along with Theme Store, etc.
While on my previous phone (Xiaomi Mi9) I had VoLTE and VoWiFi and my carrier supports them and my SIM has that activated by my carrier, on Oppo Find X2 Pro it seems for them to work is needed special Modem Profile for the concrete carrier you use.
My Carrier is not listed at MBN Test Menu, I tried all the profiles available there, all Commercial ones and all Volte Branded ones and they are not giving me VoLTE and VoWiFi options available in Menu or VoLTE or VoWiFi functionality.
This method used to work on Xioami and Commercial EU Carriers profiles gave me the VoLTE and VoWiFi functionality with just Activity Shortcut access to this menu on Mi9 and simple dialer code to activate VoLTE and VoWiFi switch in Settings.
Oppo Find X2 Pro is not sold officially in my country and by all carriers here and that is why there is no Carrier Volte Profile for carriers from my country and thus it is not possible to activate VoLTE and VoWiFi with other Carrier Profile from MBN Test Menu.
Maybe if we find a way with a Dialer Code or some menu to activate the VoLTE and VoWiFi switch in Settings first this profiles from MBN Test menu will work...
I am out of ideas for now.

I'm pretty sure they force disable most of this stuff with region profiles (/etc/oppoRegion* folders)
At this point I honestly care more about GDPR protection,VoLTE and removing tencent/heytap crap than call recording and theme store which I don't use anyway.
So my plan atm is to wait for Oppo to release android 11 .57 .ozips so that I can flash back to european firmware then I'll see if changing region to EUEX Dual-SIM works and it's limitations.
This method might help people on EU roms with VoLTE, and I'll test it myself in the future, but at least for now *#36446337# lets us adjust MTU, 4G bands and some other smaller network optimizations.
Okay I don't know where to post this but I found *#649010# and this is where it gets into the spooky territory. I never tried toggling any of the options but I think "Full-port switch" option lets us connect our phone to the qualcomm diagnose tool just like the OnePlus phones from the Carrier profiles thread. I'm just documenting this code here so we know we have an alternative to the OnePlus LogKit.apk option in our Oppo phones.

Interesting to find out what these options do.
For some reason, non of these codes work for me now after doing the region change a couple of times.

We keep telling people - you gotta unlock every time you change region and even then the unlock lasts a fixed amount of time ex. 24 hours before it locks itself again

Works for me no issue. Try adding cloudflare dns to your setup, tether your phones connection to your pc while disabling your main connection and adding the number values from the original thread, fiddle with the loopback driver, disable firewall in windows or your router. Everyones connection and setup is different you just gotta find a way to make it work on yours.
Tl;dr it works you just got to tinker with it

Did you have the call recording option right after you switched region? I changed to Singapore Ex right after I got the phone, didn't see that option. Then I upgraded to ColorOS11, still did not find that option.

No luck, but thanks anyway.
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
Does it do anything for Volte?

I used two different VoLTE Check app. Both indicated VoLTE ACTIVE.
I dai!ed *#*#4636#*#* to go into Diag menu. "Phobe Info" indicated that
VoLTE provisioned
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!

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 ?
Those who have the Tmobile or AT&T V60 varient with the new android 12 update can you confirm that this update added the VoLTE option in your mobile settings. I'm using a Verizon V60 on Android 11 and it does not have this VoLTE option, it does have HD voice which ONLY works on Verizons network. I'm hoping someone can confirm their A12 update added this VoLTE on their V60 either varents, Tmobile or AT&T. This will give me some hope that my Verizon v60 will get this true voLTE feature too, since my V60 is Locked OUT from using Verizons network, probably due to the original owner did not complete the payment plan. I bought my V60 on ebay. I also have a Verizon Note 10plus that when purchased had Android 10 (A10) and NO VoLTE option until it gradually updated from A10 to A12. After all these updates (going from A10 to A12), which took about an hour to do my Note 10+ (Verizon varent) eventually installed this VoLTE feature (option switch) in my mobile settings that allowed me to have the VoLTE and to turn it on or off.
I don't have the phone you are asking about but maybe this (often hidden) Android activity will bring up the options you seek?
Code:
Windows:
C:\> adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity
Termux:
$ am start -n com.android.settings/.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity
In addition, there are many network-band utilities on the Google Play Store repository which will call that (hidden) Activity on any given phone, for example:
Network Mode Universal
Below are screenshots for my phone showing the type of options you get for band selection when you bring up that hidden activity.
