A6 VoLTE and WiFi calling - Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
During my tour in India in 2018 I bought an A6 DUOS (Made in India). I now have this phone back with me in Europe and I read I could have VoLTE on my carrier (Vodafone Romania). Officially, A6 is even listed on their website as VoLTE and VoWifi capable. However, I don't see the option anywhere, and even in the hidden menu the option for VoLTE provisioning is grayed out. The phone is up-to-date. Wondering if there are any option to fix this.
Any ideas are welcome, thank you very much.

N920I enabling VOLTE. [Rooted]

Hi,
I have a Singapore N920I. Im using the phone in INDIA and am not enable to Enable VOLTE. its says 'unsupported by current software version'. Ive tried enabling the 'turn off volte provisioned flag' but doesn't work when tapping on it. My device is rooted. Is there any way to enable VOLTE on my phone.
Android version : 6.0.1
BaseBand: N920IDVU2BPE2
Model : SM-N920I
Thanks
As far as I know, and don't quote me on this. You cannot. The volte service is different from carrier to carrier. For example, I had a Verizon s6 when I switched to T-Mobile. Both networks support volte/advanced calling, however when I tried to activate volte on T-Mobile, it didn't work. The software is looking for the wrong signal. You're best bet is to sell the one you have an buy one compatible with your carrier. Also you could check over on the general note 5 development threads. There is far more support over there for devices that aren't the 920t. Hope this helps.
Your CSC doesn't support the other network. So its like trying to log into a website with a different website account.

Huawei P10 T-Mobile VoLTE

Does the P10 work on T-Mobile VoLTE?
Interesting development. I am in the USA and have a VTR-L29. The 8.0.0.360(C185) build was pushed out to me a few days ago. Now under the Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Network menu, I have an option for VoLTE calls that is on.
I honestly hadn't thought to look until I was on a call today and the voice sounded different.
Still no option for WiFi calling, but I'm happy to see VoLTE working.

Yes I have wifi calling. Unlocked BTU
I'm on EE
Wi-Fi calling
Did you have to enable calling on the S8? I checked an S8 (BTU) demo phone at Carphone Warehouse and could not find this option. What process did you go through with EE to get it working and are you happy with it? I cannot get a signal indoors and want to buy unlocked S8 to use use WFC.
Thanks, Mike
I am on BTU with Three - but WiFi calling is not enabled;
The XEU (UK unlocked from 3rd party seller) variant has a Wifi calling option in call settings. This works for EE but I had a new contract and Wifi calling didn't get enabled until a few days later. VoLTE didn't work at all on XEU with EE, so I installed the EVR firmware for that. Maybe try sticking the VOD firmware on yours?
For Vodafone all you need to do is call the support then ask for wifi calling issues.
Ask them to send you the configuration to update the provisioning and the wifi calling option will appear instantly.
One question to people in the UK with any Carrier unlocked Note 8. Is the RCS or Chat in your stock messages app?
Thanks
Another thing not to overlook (if you are struggling to find the settings) is where you're looking for it.
On my old N6P it used to be in the advanced WiFi settings but with the Note 8 its in the phone app. Took me a while to figure that one out!
I have sim-free Note 8 and wifi calling on EE.

WiFi Calling (EE UK) -> Phone Purchased Indirectly.

Hello Friends,
Having Googled Up & Down accross the Interwebs, I am frankly Stumped.
The UK Mobile Network EE offers the P8 Lite (2017 Model) (PRA-LX1) with Wifi calling directly.
Until recently they had web posts saying this phone is WiFi Calling compatible whether purchased from EE or indirectly.
However this is not the case. My Version was purchased unlocked, from Carphone Warehouse UK.
I have force updated the firmware to PRA-LX1C432B191.
I cannot get the Wifi Calling option to Display (Or VOLTE)
However B191 firmware is supposed to support VOLTE & WiFi Calling.
Suspect either some custom apps or configurations exist on the EE provided phone that is not on My handset.
I am Happy to root, Mod, Unlock and try to enable this option.
Where do I start looking? Could you tell me where I can find the right firmware,
or mods, hacks or changes to enable this feature?
Why would the EE shipped phone have wifi calling but the unbranded unlocked version not?
It is the very highly strange situation.
Cheers friends, looking forward to your insights and suggestions.
WiFi calling may need to be enabled on your account by EE tech support, this used to be the case a few years back when I was a tech support agent for them.
Confirmed, wificalling is enabled on my account,
They also did a network refresh on my account.
Still cant see the option.
*bump* anyone can help me enable wifi calling feature on this device?
the rom should support it
I'm in a similar situation, although I am still stock at LX1C432B115. Can I ask how you force updated to 191?
I had a look at an EE handset and that had the build PRA-LX1C440B163 and the wifi calling menu items were visible. I had wondered whether flashing that (or the latest ee build C44?) onto the phone was possible\the easiest way to get it working.

Telstra VoLTE not working on Nokia 8 (TA-1012)

Hi there,
I have a Nokia 8 (TA-1012), which I bought at Harvey Norman in Australia. It is not parallel-imported becuase Harvey Norman got it from the local distributor. It currently runs Android 8.1.0 with the June security patch.
Telstra VoLTE does not work on my phone. The 'Enhanced 4G LTE Mode' toggle does not exist in my settings. The *#*#4636#*#* menu shows the IMS status is 'IMS not registered'.
I went to the Telstra shop on Bourke Street in Melbourne (a big store) and they checked my account. They could see that it was enabled in their systems. They also said people had reported that some phones with non-Telstra firmware had been getting VoLTE. Do note that Telstra does not stock the Nokia 8, so there is no 'Telstra firmware' for it.
What else do I need to do to get VoLTE working on my Nokia 8? Or does HMD Global need to do a 'carrier-update'?
Kind regards,
Matt
