Does anyone know of a way to discover what type of network your cellular company has deployed through the settings of the Xperia Z? I don't mean hspa, hspa+, or LTE. More specific things spectrum being deployed in 5 x 5, 10 x 10, 15 x15 configurations, etc. Maybe an app that can display this information?
T-Mobile US is doing some massive network upgrades right now and some phones can display this information in the deeper settings of the phone. People are reporting great jumps in network speeds in the past 2 weeks and noticing the configuration have increased. I've gone into the settings under *#*#4636#*#* and *#*#7378423#*#* but didn't see anything specific on what is actually deployed by the cell company and being used by the phone.
I'm using a T-Mobile branded Xperia Z phone but the software is generic c6603 android 4.4.2, build 10.5.A.0.230. In case that info is needed to answer the question.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I am on T-Mobile
the VOLTE functionality does not work
I get LTE burt when i recieve or make a call I loose Data.
T-mobile states its the manufacture, they need to supply the patch
SONY state its the provider its the T-Mobile network
any one have any ideas, do we need a patch? will lillipop enable VOLTE on the phone?
No VoLTE. T-Mobile requires all VoLTE devices to support Band 12.
This is the Z3 Compact forum - so if you have a Z3C, then T-Mobile doesn't support it at all. Your phone would have to be a Z3 (regular) that was pre-loaded with a T-Mobile firmware to be VoLTE capable.
Hi all,
I have a Z3 Compact and just want to confirm it is capable of VoLTE? I read somewhere it is but cannot find much official information. If somebody could make it clear I would appreciate it.
Regards
http://www.xperiablog.net/specifications/2014-xperias/xperia-z3-compact/ it does
Good, is this supported on a hardware level or via a firmware update. When EE and Three launch their VoLTE service will the phone just support it without additional updates?
Regards,
I do have Z3 Compact with T-Mobile, but there is no VoLTE option
Using Xperia Z3 Compact on T-Mobile USA and trying to find which country will have firmware that has VoLTE option. My phone is from EU/Italy and I have Android 5.0.2 installed, but don't see any option to enable VoLTE. Any one has this option?
Check in /system/etc/customization/modem and you'll see that every firmware contains all modems.
Also, under Software Info in the Service menu it will show which modem is currently loaded.

I just went to Service menu and checked out Software info. It does list GSM/WCDMA/LTE, but how to find out if this phone will have Voice Over LTE? I used T-Mobile branded Z3 for a week and it had an option in "call settings" to put a check mark next to "Enable VoLTE". Once enabled, the signal stayed on LTE network instead of switching to 4G when making a call. The call itself connected faster and the quality was good. Right now even when I am on LTE and make a call, the signal drops down to 4G for the duration of the call, then after that goes back to LTE signal. I know Xperia Z3 phones support this feature on a hardware level, even white pages for Z3 Compact mentions VoLTE, but I can't find the setting. I read somewhere in UK, 2 carriers like EE, going to enable VoLTE in the near future, so I thought one of the UK firmware would have that enabled by then.
As far as I know VoLTE is carrier dependent. Actually maybe few around the world test this service even tough many phones are hardware ready for new standard. You can see the list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoLTE. Please let us know if you find out more.
The build for T-Mobile Germany has this option integrated.
~ Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ~
~ Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE ~
~ Huawei Ascend P6 ~
~ Acer Iconia A510 - CM12.1~

Interesting... Do you know if device from T-Mobile Germany is locked or unlocked? My device is unlocked and if I flash it with T-Mobile DE, would it lock the device?
I found this firmware on Xperifirm and it seems to be latest available. Is this the one you mentioned?
Device: Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803)
CDA: 1289-4143
Market: Germany
Operator: Telekom.de DE
Network: GLOBAL-LTE
Release: 23.2.A.0.278 / R11C
Size: 1.49 GB
Yes this is the firmware, I use.
You can remove most of the bloatware.
My device is locked.
I really don't now, if flashing this firmware will lock your device. I never used Flashtool.

I am trying to find out on another thread if flashing locked firmware on unlocked device, what happens. So I will know soon, but I heard that flashing firmware doesn't change SIM Lock, so if it was locked, it will still be locked and vise versa.
I have 2 questions:
1) Is the VoLTE option is in settings>call options and then it says "Enable VoLTE"?
2) Do you also have Wifi Calling?
Thanks
Sorry, I don't have SIM lock. I thought you meant a locked Bootloader.
Flashing another firmware doesn't effect SIM lock.
Yes, it is in settings - > calls
No Wifi calls.
BTW:
O2 Germany will activate VoLTE in the next days on all devices, which support this feature.
So I think, O2 Germany firmware should also have this option in settings - > calls

Thanks for the info! I have flashed my phone with few different firmware: UK, Generic DE and yours Telekom DE. I don't have that option. I checked everywhere... Looks like I may also need to have Telekom sim card and adjust some carrier settings. If nothing helps, I will flash back to original firmware and wait for some other solution.
Maybe this option is hidden, and only shown if your provider supports VoLTE.
Two of my colleagues have also a Z3c. One with Generic DE and O2 Germany SIM card and one with UK firmware, I don't now his provider.
I'll have a look into their settings.

T-Mobile USA has VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling features. All the phones that are T-Moible branded have these features. That is why I was trying to flash your firmware Looks like not only firmware and hardware support plays a role, but also something that carrier has to enable support for Xperia Z3 Compact. My carrier has Xperia Z3 regular and it has VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling, but the phone is too big for me.
Hi I found the post today about features that Android 5.1 will bring and looks like VoLTE might be one of them. http://www.geek.com/android/heres-what-changed-in-android-5-1-lollipop-1617837/
So can you tell me if this firm worked for z3c?
If so what's the link to download it with installation instructions

The following instructions given for Xperia Z3 and Z2 works fine on Z3 compact too. I have been able to enable VoLTE and use the phone with Reliance Jio 4G VolTE network in India.

Hey. Did u unlock your bootloader. But how did u root. Please tell me the process u did. I am on 6.0.1 firmware
VoLTE on Z3C
I have Z3 Compact 6.0.1 (D5833 - India).
I have unlocked my bootloader, rooted, flashed Starhub 6.0.1 and have enabled VoLTE on my Z3 Compact.
Able to make and receive calls with the Reliance Jio sim.
Congstar (D1) now offers VoLTE and WifiCall. It works in most phones I tested, like Samsung, Apple, Sony, Xiaomi, Motorola.
It does NOT work on my P30 Pro.
How to fix that?
to make it work, you must activate it on the phone, in the mobile data settings. for my part, I had first to ask my operator to activate the service too.

The Service ist activated by Congstar. IT works on many phones. But mit in P30 Pro.
The Options in mobile settings are Not there.
I know the Options from other phones. Like on my old Xperia xz2 compact. The Options are there, and I can Turn it on. I then call by VoLTE and can use WifiCalling. VoLTE works on the xz2c with my Provider Congstar.
That is because Sony has These VoLTE Options "Always activated". Huawei only Shows the functions for Providers that are in the internal list on the phone. That list has to be updated by Huawei.
I don't know if that will help you, but before, I had a lg g6 with the same provider that I currently have. Volte worked well without having to ask my provider anything. But with the p30 pro I had to call him to activate the service for this device.
Huawei updated by system Update. Now, VoLTE and WiFi Fall both Work.
With Update to emui 10.1 Volte an WiFi call works with German Providers like Congstar an fraenk etc
Possible to modify phone to force use VoLTE? This phone can use VoLTE on some carrier but no other. I read someone modify some xml files on xz2 and got VoLTE to work for carrier that originally not work.
