Activating VoWifi / Wifi Calling on a Chinese Huawei device - Huawei Mate 40 Pro Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if there is any possibility to activate WoWifi / Wifi Calling on Chinese Huawei devices like the Mate 40 Pro (or Mate 50 Pro)?
Theres an option to use Wifi Calling on global versions of the phones but as VoWifi is not supported (blocked) in China that option is not there on Chinese devices.
Thanks in advance!!

You are using it on China ?
The first requirement is that the operator offers you this service ...

No, I'm using Chinese devices in Europe. My operator offers the service and it works flawlessly on global Huawei devices. It doesn't work on Chinese devices, though, as it obviously is blocked in the Chinese firmware.

Do have a Solution? I've the same problem. With Emui it works perfect but whit Harmony not

I don't think it actually has to do with EMUI vs. Harmony. I think it basically doesn't work on phones running Chinese firmware as VoWifi is blocked in China in general.

Huawei P9 VoLTE

Hello guys! As i can know today, HUAWEI P9 (especially EVA-L19) does support VoLTE feature, but now its disabled on software-based level.
Today i was speaking with russian Huawei support team and they said, that need to collect many requests for enabling this feature.
As i know, this forum reading some Huawei stuff and via that thread i want to collect some requests for enabling that feature in next sw updates.
Many EU countries and Russia already launched VoLTE feature with LTE Video calling (in russia its Beeline and MegaFon)
I can just say that there's no VoLTE support on my P9 on Telenor/Telia network in Denmark.
Is there any way to activate volte on Huawei P9 lite VNS-L21? I purchased it from Dubai.
Yes Volte is required for my P9. I have also voted yes. Thank you for the thread
I am purchased from UAE,how can activate volte on my p9,now I am in in
India
Volte on EVA-19C dual SIM model
Hi, I bought this model P9-EVA-19C with dual sim in Dubai. But this is not supporting Volte in India. I have update the firmware to 390 too, still it is not supporting VOLTE.....:crying:

i've seen dudes have voLTE in the magic rainbow thread try to install that rom. I can't test cause my country probably doesnt have voLTE in the first place.
With the New update C464B383 in Turkey here it came Volte support with Vodafone.

Dear Ryan Fox,
Most of the 4G operators in India or not 4GLTE, infact all of them are 4G VoLTE.
Huawei Phones purchased in China or UAE are not working with Voice calling, Data is fine.
I have 3 phones, Mate 8, Mate 9 and P9 all purchased in Huawei store in Schenzen during my visit to China.
They do not support 4G VolTE voice calling in India.
We all have to convey this message to the Experts in Huawei to issue some software upgradation over the Air.
my number +919493407596
Jio voice seems to work with the voice app(at least when i tried it a couple of months ago)
At least the two major French operators are providing volte but no option with my p9

New info about the Mate 10 Pro and Porsche for the US market.

In the course of adding rebranding support to the Mate 10 Pro/Porsche US editions as part of FunkyHuawei (Please see this post for details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75279649&postcount=711 ) I can confirm the following:
1. The Mate 10 Pro and Porsche for sale in the US are re-purposed AT&T BLA-A09 devices. Other countries have the BLA-L29 or BLA-L09 so this is a US-centric codename, but in fact the hardware is identical.
2. The US edition of the Mate 10 Pro is single-sim. The Mate 10 Pro Porsche for the US market is also single-sim (other markets had dual sim porsche design editions). This is because they originally intended to release the phone with AT&T, which obviously wouldn't want them to release a dual-sim phone. If you live in the US and want dual sim, you're better off buying an international model and rebranding it, so you can have the dual sim functionality.
3. The US edition of the Mate 10 Pro/Porsche (or devices rebranded to the US branding) will support VoLTE on T-Mobile, but not VoWifi. However it does support both VoLTE and VoWifi on AT&T. If you want to check what is supported for your own MCC/MNC please look at this list, it's pulled from the US firmware:
https://pastebin.com/BGtr3VhT
If anyone wants to know more, you can ask in this thread or in the FunkyHuawei thread. We'll probably have many users rebranding to it and using it in the US soon.

Generally the only differences are logos and branding and themes.
So does tmobile still have beef with huawei over stealing stuff? Feel like just about any recent unlocked flagship supports wifi calling on tmobile, most noticeably oneplus. I believe you could get axon7 working too.
What's the difference between VoLTE and a service like Google Voice that works with data? I mean if you have an LTE data connection and you're using a service like GV isn't that VoLTE by definition? Wouldn't the same apply for WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram etc if you were on an LTE connection? I don't really understand why VoLTE is hyped so much.

Volte would work for the native dialer. Using a secondary app is not something many folks in the US want to do (see imessage)
would there ever be a CDMA version at all ? I have a Verizon sim and tmobile I would love to use both sims or at least Verizon on the mate pro
Do you know if the current US branded firmwares are signed and will pass the safetynet test so I can use android pay? The earlier firmware version wasn’t so I rebranded back to the European version. Am in ATT and would love VoLTE and WiFi calling again but not if I can’t use android pay

You can use Google Voice on the primary dialler and as your primary number and also forward all calls from GV to your primary number.
just ordered a Huawei Mate 10 Pro International BLA-L29 for my wife and would like to rebrand to AT&T. i have a few questions regarding rebranding to ATT firmware:
is the FunkyHuawei ATT rebranded firmware the same that's [expected to be] installed on the US versions when they go on sale 18-Feb?
if i rebrand to ATT would i be able to root the device? if yes, will rooting disable some phone features?
on my Exynos Note 8, VoLTE and Wifi calling with ATT service will work if you (a) apply the ATT CSC (vendor config) to your rooted device using TWRP and (b) use the imei of an ATT device that supports those features. i'm hopeful that the same setup works for the Mate 10 Pro. thanks for taking time to respond to my questions.

Will the US variant support t-mobile's extended range LTE? I remember reading somewhere they were blocking devices that didn't pass their certification.
No wifi calling on T-Mobile means no buyie from my

It will not work on verizon for calls/texts.
isn't it all the same hardware?
Is the phone suppose to be on AT&T and Verizon before of political pressure and decided not to work with Huawei?
so the phone should works on both carriers, unless they plan to come out with 2 version??? hardware wise?
also, on the phone, it says 4G and a little + sign?
what does the + sign for?
I know in US is suppose to say 4G = 3.5 G and real 4G = LTE
but since this is a international version 4G should be LTE? but a + sign?
@duraaraa, i had heard that, in spite of being seen as expensive by most, people were nonetheless willing to pay up because your customer service was second to none!
However, unfortunately, i can't share their opinion; I've tried to reach you at least 3 times in the past, which, not having expected it to be warranted to have to "insist", i didn't document dates and times (for different reasons which, at the end, I've had to solve all without your expected assistance.)
Recently, i actually used the official means, per the "Contact" tab at FH Club. It's nearing the 3-digit hour mark, and i think it's time you at least tell me (or, maybe it's "US, the (no pun intended, U.S. customers) to take a hike and stop wasting my time and yours.
I'm approaching you in the most respectful manner, which I realize may be difficult to fully see when in writing. I am also fully aware of your Terms and Conditions which state that FH reserves the right to at any time and for any or no reason, stop providing support without having to issue so much as a cent paid for given service.
Lastly, it hasn't always been "Big, Bad Duraaraa; i acknowledge you have provided me input at other times in the past.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Does that mean U.S phones will be able to rebrand for better software support? O:

LTE with Mi 8 in Germany

Hello,
I want to know if I can buy any Mi 8 version to get the best connection via LTE.
I read a lot about "Global version" but this mean just the Android system itself, right?
Thanks!
You can buy!
I have the global version with two SIM Cards. One is on O2 (Drillisch) and the other one is on Vodafone. They both work flawless. On Vodafone I even have VoWifi and VoLTE working.

Importing P30 Pro from China

I was planning on importing a few P30 Pro's from China to the US. Have a cousin who sells phones over there on commission and was planning to help her out.
Will there be any problems with the Chinese version in the US? I assume I can load a google play store APK. I am using T-Mobile for my provider. I think the modem and bands for T-Mobile and the P30 would work too?
Hoping there wont be many problems. Thanks!

You won't be able to change launcher (well you can if you install a secondary launcher and remove the stock one via adb) and also you will be missing some lte bands.

I think the phone is missing band 66 and 71? Let me know if I am wrong. I know that band 71 isnt coming to my area in a long time. How do I check what band my area is using?

How much is it in China? L29?
so are there no problems with the China version such as plagued the Mate 20 pro? for example, google assistant and google pay work without problems on the china p30? is there another thread? I can't seem to find one

It'll be the same as there's no google support in china. Why don't you order from Malaysia or Singapore ? Its L29 global version and much cheaper. Pm me if you need some help.

Are you speaking from experience or just saying this because google play is not installed by default on phones and google is blocked in China? These were specific issues with the last phone.. google assistant and google pay problems.
With the Mate 20 pro, Huawei made it easy to install the play store (so that means services was also installed)

Playstore isn't an issue. Framework already comes pre-installed. You just need to install the apk however most sellers already do this for you. Almost all china models comes with google framework pre-installed now. In regards of the voice assistant when you press the power button, that i'm not sure if you'll be able to set google assistant. Main issue will be the obvious chinese recovery menu and a few bloatware and the ability to not change the launcher. You can get the launcher changed by installing a secondary launcher and debloating the stock one via adb. China version won't pass safetynet too.
With Chinese Rom you will get Chinese bloatware as which can be partially deleted from the face of it, and also some no delectable apps like Huawei voice assistant and browser, and you will spot some Chinese font here and there like contacts apps bringing up Chinese yellow book contacts.

Question UK Users services

Interested in UK users experiences with getting network features working fully.
Does WiFi calling, volte , visual voicemail, 4G+ and 5G, GPay et al work for you?
What ROM? What carrier?
Did you have to disable carrier checks? Or did it work out the box?
Also non region specific stuff too I guess , android auto experience etc etc.
I'm on a contract with EE.
VOLTE, WiFi calling, 4G+, 5G and Google Pay all working without any issues straight out the box. I don't use Android auto so I can't comment on that I'm afraid. CN ROM currently on MIUI 12.5 stable.
Great stuff. Thanks for the reply.
Where did you buy from ?

I bought mine from TradingShenzhen here: https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/mi-1...omi-mi-11-ultra-12gb256gb-ultimate-of-android
I didn't have to pay any import tax or custom fees. You can also buy from Wondamobile which they say won't incur any import charges either: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-11-ultra-5g-12gb-ram-256gb-dual-sim-unlocked.html
Yeah, I have used Wonda a few times. Going to go with TS this time to see how it goes.
Hopefully sell my old Note 20U soon.

I'm now in 12.5.2 EU rom, and on Vodafone UK.
Still no 4G+/CA. 5G does work but nPerf states it's 4G. VoLTE, VoWiFi, GPay all fine.
Be interested to know if anyone gets CA working on Vodafone UK with the Global or EEA rom. May have to wait to see what version is released in the UK.
Yip. I have ordered today from TS.
I have a EE work SIM, but use Sky personality. Will be interesting if all works with them as they are quite restrictive on device support.
I don't get 4G+ CA anywhere locally anyway, but bizarrely get 5G at the end of my harbour pier .
Will have to see if it's worth flashing global ROM next month after the UK release. Everything points to the CN being more than usable after tweaking though.
I was on Chinese stock, now global. Sky and EE work fine on both, I use them too.
Global obviously does have full Google services, not the mini pack that was on the Chinese but for some reason they use Google's phone, contacts and text app, so no native call recording. Global is still on original firmware where before flashing I had 12.5 which was a delight, hopefully 12.5 will hit the Global soon.
I will go Xiaomi EU ROM if and when a twrp is released or the fastboot bricking issue has been well resolved. I used EU version on my 10 ultra and it is a dam good ROM.
Brilliant.
@Sathelp
Does volte and WiFi calling work on SKY on CN ? ( Whilst I wait on bl unlock for Global )
Thanks

I did tested download speeds on chinese version of Mi 11 Ultra and guess what ? I am getting only 3.66 mb/s on GG network that runs on O2 architecture if im not mistaking .
Before i bought the phone i verified all the network bands and it should be compatible with all Uk carriers on 4 and 5G .
May it be some setting or something ? I tried 2 different speed test services .
