Actually very poor call quality!
Call quality is good.
I am using Airtel. Disable the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" option in call settings. That does the trick for me.
I had call quality issue in my previous phone as well where everyone was complaining that my voice is not clear. On the other hand I could hear them loud and clear. Upon playing around with some settings, I found that disabling the voice over LTE option solved the problem. Same thing happened when I bought this new phone and I remembered this. It is supposed to make the call quality better with HD calls but somehow it makes it bad.. ?
Goto Settings> Network & Internet> Mobile Network> Advanced> "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode"
Disable this option and try calling your friends. Hope this helps.

You are right. But try it man.
When you place a call, the network will switch to 3G/2G based on the coverage in the area. The network will show "H" or something. And just like the old times, your internet will not work, or will be very slow while you are on a phone call.
Also, this wont work for Jio users most probably, because they are a LTE only network. But other providers like Airtel, Voda, Idea have voice call support from legacy infrastructure. Maybe it's an issue with the network providers or these mid range phones support for VoLTE calls. Don't know..

Anyways, you're welcome man. Maybe others can benefit from this.
Issue with the call is when using the speaker. The other end is hearing echo of their voice. The issue exists also on other zenfones. Not sure if there is a workaround on this.

The call quality is good but when answering the call using earphones, the other party is not able to hear the voice clearly. Does some else have the same issue, or is it earphone's problem.

So here's my problem: I dont wanna hear that you cant do it, but there has GOT to be a way to make phone calls over a 4G network. I dont care if I have to download an APP, a PROGRAM, or if I have to go MAD SCIENTIST on this thing. Any help you can give me will be GREATLY appreciated and if you could post a step by step guide for people having the same issue then that's even better.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Google Voice doesnt seem to work independently. It doesnt notify you when someone is calling and doesnt seem to have the ability to make outgoing calls.
Tried SipGate but only to find out that they have no more numbers in my area (that was a KILLER)
I'm currently able to make calls on Skype BUT ONLY on a Wi-Fi connection (limited).... I need 4G network calling (everywhere)
Anything you can do guys, this has been a thorn for many people and there arent many things out there that show you how to set it up.

download sipdroid, and when you set it up go to the bottom and click, link with google voice. I am making calls over 4g, just cant receive.
I currently have the sipdroid app, however I have no idea how set it up with the right settings to connect it with my google voice. If you could help me out, I would seriously appreciate that.

Blaze what part of Philly?
Ok so currently I've gotten Sipdroid working and making calls over the 4G network. However, when calling over the 4G network the calls are choppy and full of static to the person on the other end. On my end though, the call is perfectly clear.
I've tried altering the Audio/Video options (turning them all on low, turning them on high), messing with the Audio Codecs (turning them all on NEVER except GSM 13kbit), and turned off the improve audio option. However my calls still remain the same.
Has anybody figured out to completely clear up Sipdroid calls over 4G? Is there any other APP i can download to complement the clarity of the call?
Sipdroid works perfect with google voice. I can make call to any part of the world!!! Hell yesssss!!! You can try. Troubleshoot?? Ask us!!!
Yes, but how are the calls over a 4G network? If they're clear, I'd like to know how if possible.
Does Sipdroid work for making as well as receiving calls over 3G/4G?
Yes, Sipdroid works for me over Tmobile's 4G network, but it sounds choppy to ppl on the other end. Through a Wi-Fi connection though it sounds prefect.
Waiting on Skype personally here. And what was that other program people are talking about? Tango?

any part of the world? I tried to call london and I got a message saying I didn't have enough credits. I think for international calls you have to have $ on your google voice account as it uses GV to make the international call. Unless there is another way
hrm I may have to try sipdroid then. =) Does google talk allow for you to have a phone number like skype does?
not sure this has been answered. but
just tested, I CAN receive incoming calls when my Sipdroid is on (green light) and if anyone calls my google voice number.
i mean, getting everything connected isnt the problem. there's plenty of guides online to help you do that with different apps. my problem is the call clarity over T-Mobile's 4G network when using sipdroid + google voice. On my end the calls are clear and perfect, but when I start talking the listener hears choppy words and static. Does anybody have ANY kind of solution to this issue??? Much appreciated.
blaze, I know you've asked this a bunch of times, so I'll venture a potential solution.
Who's your SIP provider? I've used pbxes and had very clear calls on my Droid, even over 3G. Maybe try changing up your SIP provider.
I can send and receive calls over sip Droid and gvoice. Works perfect on wifi have not tried cell network.
@ Z4nd4r
I use the same thing (sipdroid + pbxes) But I've basically given up on the call clarity over 4G and am looking for a supplemental phone now. It could be the strength of your network. Unfortunately with T-Mobile in Philadelphia on 4G, I'm thinking its just gonna be this way. Unless you have a settings tweak.
can someone post there guide to have this working for everyone
I have the guide and everything...its all set up. My issue is CALL CLARITY. Are you using yours on T-Mobile's 4G network. Cause its choppy as hell when I use it for the person on the other end. Clear for me, Static for them
On Wi-Fi it works fine...on 4G, not so much

How will this technology work if one is driving (i.e. calling being routed through the VoIP LTE) and then geographically falls outside of an LTE zone?
I can see how this technology causes frustration. I work in Sales and am constantly holding calls via Bluetooth while driving.

My understanding is that your call will only be via VOLTE if you are doing voice+data. Under this circumstance, your voice call will be dropped when you are no longer within range of LTE.

Incorrect.
Straight out if verizons faq. If you enable volte (advanced calling 1.0) and place any call from a 4g area it will *always* drop if the phone moves to a 3g area.
A call placed in a 3g area will continue on 3g if you move into a LTE area (not drop).
The only way to avoid drop calls is not enable volte. in which case your new moto x will never have voice and data simultaneously.

HD voice and instant video calls will only work between two volte devices. However all calls will be transmitted as data once you enable volte in your account and on your phone.
Another reason to never activate the steaming heap. Head to the country side, and data goes in and out swapping towers and landing in 1x at times. Yet in those areas regular voice services work fine. So it would be a huge downgrade for me and most people I know. Verizon is plain stupid for pulling the trigger on this. Thanks for the info, I know even better to steer clear now.
And they complained
during the switch from AMPS to CDMA, too.
So this is a very serious issue about the x2 Vzw phone?
Is this a deal breaker?

I've read that all new vzw phones will work like this. Curious to know if the note 4 has the two radios or will also rely on volte like the iPhone 6 and new Moto x do.
I've been told that if you activate Verizon's Advanced Calling feature that it only works on VoLTE, and if you are on a call in a 4G coverage area and for example, say you're driving and your coverage area switches to 3G, the call will drop. Has anyone had serious issues with the Advanced Calling feature dropping calls? Is it worth activating this feature or is it better to leave it off until VoLTE technology makes some advances? Thanks in advance for any input!!
I have it on all the time and It seems fine, but yes if it drops to 3G it will drop the call. So if you are on an important call and driving outside a city or somewhere you know it drops to 3G then go into the setting and turn off HD Voice just for that call.
P.S. Just because you enable it on your account doesn't mean it is always on, or needs to be always on. You can change it on your phone.

If you like you can use Network Signal Guru and measure and take screenshots and post here to give some actual data if its good or bad.
Which bands are used when and how long and when a call cuts out.
And when its very good to give a comparison when the phone performs very well and when not so good.
However Network Signal Guru requires root permissions
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qtrun.QuickTest
Some alternative apps are
CellMapper
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Network Cell Info Lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite
SignalCheck Pro
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalcheck
I don't have root yet however I do have the so called global firmware. Maybe that's the source if it is indeed a fake ROM.
So I just noticed something. When I make/receive a call I immediately drop LTE. Once the call ends it's restored. I have to assume the phone is not capable of voice over LTE or I need to find a toggle.

I know as I stated in the original post the phone must not be compatible with Volte as there is no toggle. Additionally it's dropping to edge instead of 3G whenever I receive a call

anyone having issues with simply making calls, sending sms and accessing the internet? anything in the *#*#64663*#* phone service mode - phone seems to want to always sit in TD-SCDMA/LTE mode instead of LTE/UMTS mode. Always reverts to it. Not sure if that is the issue. HORRIBLE experience with this device so far. Right off the bat when I got it, it was doing sms sending (forever in sending mode until failed or sms would come in after like 15-20 mins and only after a reboot) Incoming sms no issues. Message center is ok. Then data was an issue. Switching SIM seemed to fix one first call then the 2nd call would just sit in dialing mode forever and ultimately hang up. Garbage device (so far) unless it is some simple fix. This is on ATT.
EDIT finally managed to fix the issues
fastboot mode
erase cacne this went through
erase data did not work
then did factory reset through the recovery mode
booted it up
inserted sim...everything works now (for the first time)
bootloader was unlocked by the vendor/someone upstream prior to shipping
very fast...even on 4g
lte comes on selectively so far only seen band 5 (no band 4)
EDIT2
So while mui is pretty slick and the phone is easy to use, fast, great on battery it still suffers from a Xiaomi-related bug (will call it that) in call-forwarding. You cannot set call forwarding (of if previously set - when the sim is in another device, of course), the call forwarding cannot be disabled (SIM error) This has been an issue for years - yes like since 2014-15...since the user base is mostly overseas, you can see complaints but no real resolution (useless feedback from thread owners etc who talk about contacting the operator, removing sim card etc) This does not exist on Huawei, Oppo etc phones (having used them) Even some miui ports suffer from this on other devices (so it seems very likely an MIUI issue) I have an old Samsung Mega that has the same issue on a ported MIUI for it. The Mi Mix I had a few months back had the same issue. No one ever fixes this.

Everything is fine except Calls. I've been told my phone rings once then goes to voicemail and occasionally I will connect to another party but we can't hear each other. Phone calls work less than 2 out of 5 times. Text is flawless, data works great with the exception of slow handover when switching from wifi to LTE.

Are you getting Band 4 LTE on Tmobile? Also, how about 3G/HSPA? I believe it supports Band 2 for those, right?
Band 4 LTE is rock solid everywhere however I cannot connect to 3G anywhere. That's why I had issues with calls before I activated VoLTE. I'm not sure if it's the phones band capability or something else but even forcing 3G nets me 2G edge. Thankfully I don't need it.
I have an SM-N960U from T-Mobile, flashed with the US Unlocked SM-N960U1 firmware that I am running on Verizon. The vendor agnostic firmware does not have all of the screens the carrier-specific screens do, so it's not straightforward to determine what is and isn't working. If I go into Airplane Mode, and turn on Wi-Fi, I cannot call, so we know Wi-Fi Calling doesn't work. However, whether or not Wi-Fi calling works, has zero to do whether or not VoLTE/HD Voice is working. Wi-Fi calling is not a cellular technology, it is VOIP and requires the wireless carrier to also become a VOIP provider, which requires a "home" address of the device for 911 purposes. There certainly is no technical relationship between the two, and it is a service independent of wireless communications. For a wireless provider, the VoWiFi part is working with the phone to switch the data stream, depending on the signal availability, without dropping the call. VoLTE also has nothing to do with whether or not the calling party has VoLTE. All one could say is if the calling party has digital voice of some kind, such as VoLTE, VOIP, or T1, that the call will be clearer because data put into the VOIP packets would be better.
I came up with an idea and found an app called "Force 4G LTE" to prove whether or not VoLTE is active. After installing "Force 4G LTE", besides showing everything about the phone, its displays bands, and signal strength, it also displays menus used by some of the carriers that showed a toggles for Mobile Mobile Radio Power, and VoLTE, Video Calling, and Wi-Fi Calling were all toggled on as provisioned. When I clicked on Advanced, the missing Mobile Networks menu shows up with a toggle for turning VoLTE Calls, which was toggled on. It did not display a Wi-Fi Calling menu. What I didn't expect is the "Force 4G LTE" app enabled me to force any protocol I choose, not just LTE. I forced LTE, and unlike with Wi-Fi calling, it worked.

VOIP might not even use the same voice encoding protocols. The best you could say is, if you have Wi-Fi calling, the odds of you also having VoLTE are greater. There certainly is no technical relationship. VoLTE has nothing to do with whether or not the calling party has VoLTE. All one could say is if the calling party has digital voice of some kind, such as VoLTE, VOIP, or T1, that the call would be clearer because the VOIP used to transmit their call between their provider and yours had better data to work with.

So I had a few misunderstandings from reading your post. It's most likely me! If you are referring to just having Voice over IP/Data connection, yes it will work no matter what for you as long as you have a data connection.
If you are meaning True VoLTE, then both parties have to have the feature running and functioning. Unfortunately there's no way to know if VoLTE is truly on unless you run a line interceptor or trace from the carrier for two known calls that are currently connected and active. That would be illegal either way. I wouldn't recommend trusting the HD icon that shows when you're connected on a call because we have tested it at work and found that even when on Edge(yeah it still exists), it still said HD even though the quality was trash.
Just my 2 cents from my limited knowledge of working in telecom for a short stint. I still do but not as in depth.
The other thing about VoLTE is it's pretty much just voip but the protocols are indeed different. I use a grenade to fish, you use a net, end of the day, we still fishin. ??*??

apart from the logo in the status bar near the time(that you may or may not see depending on csc setting file) and the branding when u get lr make a call,has an HD logo on the caller card screen, and of course you can litteraly hear it. its cristal clear and very noticable. its like mono vs stereo.

I have no such indicators. What I did notice, and might the only clue you get with the Unlocked US firmware, is that I noticed LTE+ shows on the status bar for a while at the beginning of the call, and then goes away.

That is a packet sniffer. You have to be rooted to use one off those. I've set up people with VOIP systems and I also did the microwave links, and fought with cities over fiber links. The problem with VOIP is there is no copper "last mile" so you need to specify an address for 911. Locating a caller with VOIP has been shaky for a long time because it became common for a corporate switch to serve satellite plants using the Internet. It requires programming the switch to tie the extension to a location. You still need to do that with cell phones but now it's getting laughable because it moves, and worse, more than one device can service the same number, so it can also be in more than one place at the same time. They are going to have to add something to both VOIP and VoWiFi that uses the GPS at the SIP endpoint, which may still have some flies in the ointment, but at least likely.

I have no such indicators. What I did notice, and might the only clue you get with the Unlocked US firmware, is that I noticed LTE+ shows on the status bar for a while at the beginning of the call, and then goes away.
That depends if the party you are connected to is digital.
Well...Sue IS my mom's name. :laugh:

carrier voip (volte) has no such requirement from the user device side. because u are still using their infrastructure which they own and maintain. Wificalling on the other hand does 100% because the wifi you are using is not carrier owned nor managed. so you need to enroll and provide 911 info like actual adress and contact info and consent that if death occurs its not on them because localization is not insured.
as of late i have deactivated wifi calling as for the reason it exists, its actually giving me poorer calling experience. i dont know if theres is something wrong with the phone's policy but using the setting to prefer the mobile line, i often find the device doing calls over wifi regardless of the good mobile signal connection. but its been a while so ill test it out again.
edit
so i just tested it and when wifi is weak wifi calling disables amd when strong it reenables.
the policy is strange it should have this behavior on weak cell signal and not on weak wifi signal...

So LTE+ indicates VoLTE and LTE+= indicates carrier aggregation. I did not know that.
EDIT: I JUST figured out our conversation. I said maybe the LTE+ that I saw during my phone conversation was an indication of VoLTE, since LTE+ is the first version with VoLTE support. Your answer states the added + indicates carrier aggregation, implying that it doesn't mean LTE+ features. For some odd reason I interpreted your response that the equal sign would be in the display. Maybe it was taking a day off and catching up on my sleep that made the difference.

LTE = Regular operatiin single band.
LTE + = MULTI band operation( 2 or more)
