I did some extended research and also noticed there is nothing posted on here about this so I figured I post my results. This has been confirmed with two users that this method does work.
For anyone that is having issues not getting volte/HD calling to work here are the steps provided below:
Before you continue you have to make sure your line is provisioned to work with Volte/HD calling. Most of us bought the device away from Verizon. This wont provision it just by sticking the sim in (I have seen a few that have claim this). To provision your line you need to activate the HD calling on verizon account with a verizon compatable HD device (Droid Turbo, S5 ect) The link below provides compatable devices. This is only for Nexus 6 devices not bought from verizon.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/landingpages/advanced-calling-devices/
Stick the sim in one of these devices. Activate HD calling and make sure it works. Then Transfer the sim back over to the nexus 6 .
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and click to turn on volte provisioned flag. (if it wont let u turn on flash the bootloader/radio from here thanks to @scrosler for this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/bootloader-radio-boot-img-boot-loader-t3052425
Reboot twice and then go to settings more, cellular networks, switch preferred type to lte/cdma
and then tick the 4g lte mode. before u make a test call to confirm volte works turn wifi completely off and that ur on lte service.
Reboot and then ur good. You only have to do this one with the provisioning of another device. once the provision is done your account is good this day forward. Unless u get another sim card you will have to do this again.
Again this is only for non verizon nexus 6 users.
Please make sure ur on the 5.1 radio else this wont work.

I had a user @madAdam6LOVE who i helped with. We did the steps with out the extra device wouldnt work. We did this with his s5 and his volte works. I followed the other threads and none of them showed getting the sim provisioned. He had the s5 before the nexus 6 and never activated the volte. He activated it which provisioned and now it works flawlessly.

Is that the same outcome as running the bootloader command: fastboot oem config carrier vzw ?
CyanogenMod installer makes it clear this command is required, but doesn't go into more detail, and haven't seen it discussed much on this forum.

That i honestly do not know. After spending all day with one of the XDA who couldnt get it to work we did the method with take the sim and putting it in s5 activating and making sure volte works on that device and then putting the sim back into the nexus 6.
I alwayed use *#*#4636#*#* which takes u to a hidden menu

I have read the threads, and I called out a few that stated that they did it and later found out they activated the sim with another device.
Verizon even stated to activate the sim they have to do it with another device since it comes up as unsupported device.
etc... said:
I was able to log into the VZW account management site and activate advanced calling / VOLTE.;
My Account --> Manage Products & Apps --> Get Products --> Free Products --> Activate Advanced Calling.
Even though I activated my N6 after ordering from Motorola back in December, VZW did recognize that the N6 supported VOLTE. The N6 is using a sim activated through a G1 Moto X.

I bought VS995 phone slightly used. Upon getting the phone I used the Dirty Santa Root and Bootloader unlock method. I finally got around today to going to VZW and getting a new SIM and activating it on my current line. Activation kept failing. It was at the point where everything entered fine on their end , but on the phone it took about 5 minutes before giving the activation unsuccessful message. Has anyone encountered this issue? Rooting and unlocking the bootloader before activating it with a new SIM card? They were having problems with their activation servers this morning and said that since it's a new SIM it could be getting hung up with their server issue. I'm going to try tonight from my house. But was curious if I need to take any extra steps to get it activated. If my note 3 had a nano SIM card in it, I would have just been able to swap without an issue.

First of all credits go with many thanks to @hyelton for the instructions and original post for LG G5!
NOTE: starting with ZV8 firmware version Sprint has patched its ROM, so this option is not available any more.
Now short instructions on how to switch your LG V20 from CDMA to LTE network and configure your 3d party SIM APN settings:
1. Download attached HiddenMenuCall app and install it on your device.
2. Start the application and scroll down to IOT(CDG2) row and press it.
3. Next scroll to LTE settings and press it.
4. Select afterwards Operation Mode and change it from Production to Lab Network
-------
After that the phone will reboot.
-------
5. After reboot start HiddenMenuCall again and scroll down to IOT(CDG2) row and press it.
6. Next scroll to LTE settings and press it.
7. Now select APN Settings and press it.
8. From the upper right corner press 3 dotted menu and select New APN.
9. Configure your APN (refer to Biggest APN list) and press SAVE again in the 3 dot context menu.
That's all you'll now have a LTE/GSM enabled device

That's terrible. Report sellers that do that.
But You can't do what your wanting to do. You can't put that phone on Verizon, it doesn't work that way. Unlocked means it will work on AT&T, T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier in the USA or outside the USA.
2. I don't think there is root for the sprint model.
3. You can't flash other carrier firmwares. You can ONLY use the firmware that's on the device. If you flash a different carriers firmware you'll brick your device..

Verizon doesn't officially support non Verizon devices meaning non LTE data may not work or work correctly.
It working on Verizon doesn't mean it's unlocked. Unlocking a phone relates to GSM not CDMA. Also if you use that apk your phone will work perfectly fine on AT&T or T-Mobile. Just like the Sprint G5 does.

This thread of for specifically making a US carrier device be network unlocked. This that most likely won't be of any use to your model.
That's a very strange issue. Settings with your APN won't make your hotspot shut off. You can turn on hotspot even if data is not working.
Seems more like a software issue or hardware issue.

What about AT&T? Will It work
I hope that I'm wrong but I'm about 100% sure that this will not work for AT&T. AT&T actually requires a Specialized or particular APK to work. In my previous phone Galaxy S7 Edge these apps were installed during flashing of the CSC

I wonder if this will get wifi calling once I root. The rooting process uses a method of mixing boot files and essentially makes it a U1 rom with a Verizon csc but wifi calling isn't available. I'm going to give this a go to see if it'll enable it. If anyone has tried let me know. Thanks to the OP for this one.

Interested to know if this fixes wifi calling, if so that's the only reason I haven't checked out root - I get 0 signal at work, and depend on wifi calling for my primary cell number. Google voice works over wifi of course!

Any success with this?
Hey,
I can enable video calling but I cannot use it.
When I make a call, it just shows up for a second and turns off. Does anyone have this issue?
Before I updated via OTA to 8.1 the Essential was connecting to LTE without issue. Since 8,1 I have to connect to CDMA and 3g in order to user my Dialer, otherwise Server Error is generated. No calls in or out.
I wanted to downgrade Yes rebooted, factory reset, etc.
I searched google up and down with no real answers that work. How do I get Sideload working again? It has to be a simple configuration or driver problem I will assume.
Thanks
Im in the same situation you are in also im on 3g at 1.50mbs up & down i have searched every where....

Thanks. Still stuck using 3G. I can connect to 4G/LTE but cannot make phone calls as I still get the Server Error, Try Again.

I wrote that post that he referred you to, and while it worked in Oreo 8.0 it does not seem to work in 8.1 for me either.
Try this:
dial *228 and get a PRL update
reboot
*#*#4636#*#* (it may take a few seconds for it to come up if you do it right after a reboot)
set it to LTE/WCDMA
reboot
(you may have to check in mobile network settings that your APN is set to VZWINTERNET)
Let me know how it works out for you. I know that Verizon doesnt support WCDMA, but it forces you over to the Verizon LTE bands which is more or less the goal of this. For some reason this functions differently than any of the other settings that include LTE in them (believe me, I've tried them).

Well I reset my PRL via *228 and sure enough selecting 4G/LTE does put us at LTE/wcdma but my phone functions perfectly. I do notice the menus are changed and I got a couple other options though now. See attached

Yep those are how the menu should look for a device that's not locked to sprint. It seems to me there are some firmware files that prefer sprint in these beta builds, because even on other carriers (and more than one person has said this) you can see 'sprint' pop up in the bar or in the settings even when you arent on sprint.
Interesting that yours gives you the option of 'wifi calling provisioned', I cant get that to not be greyed out on mine.

Yeah I've screwed with this phone so much I don't know what I did LOL but now it shows wifi calling even in dialer. I'm not sure if it really works cuz I have a good signal so it never switches. My e911 address is set up from my Moto z and I do have a wear24 watch tied to this phone not sure if that's what triggered it. ? I did get a new SIM card on Monday as well because I was fighting with the vzw crap so I don't know exactly what triggered the WiFi calling.

Thank you for the steps but still cannot use 4G for phone calls, but it does work for internet, facebook, email,etc.
Have to go back to 3G for phone calls.
Very interesting why it happening and not widespread. No special configurations or setups on my phone.

That's where I'm at too... the one thing that might be different about this is I tried my old steps first before figuring out how to get it to work with these new ones... seems like a lot of effort, but it might be what is needed (or some amount of it) to get it all working. So try going through the old ones before the new ones (you probably dont need to *228 again since you just did)
My old steps linked here (these worked in 8.0, if they work for you in 8.1, more power to you, but they dont work for me):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74920423&postcount=506
I'm still routinely messing with it because I feel like the setting I have now prevents me from falling back to CDMA if LTE is unavailable for some reason. Fortunately that is a rarity for me... but I maintain that Essential has something in the ROM itself that is preferring sprint and I think it's screwing with us using Verizon.

There is something there.
I've done that procedure.
If I go into the menu and play around it will try to connect to sprint even with a Verizon SIM. Go figure?

Exactly. If I leave it on certain settings it'll actually sit there and tell me I'm connected to Sprint.

I just reported this to Essential in their beta feedback.
Others should report their similar issues.
It seems to be associated with them making a unified release.
If you look at some releases they are specifically for Sprint or Not.

Try turning off Enchanted 4G LTE Mode. It's possible going to 8.1 just reset this setting to on. This should only be on if you have HD Voice enabled on your line on Verizon (you'll have to call Verizon to enable it, it's a free feature).
This should fix server error on 4G, randomly connecting to Sprint is a separate issue.
UPDATE Now working
Took the advice from someone on Reddit who had the same problem. Ran to VZW store and received a new SIM. Without any programming on my end or reboot, back to LTE without issue. FINALLY. As soon as the rep popped in the SIM the essential connected on its own.

Just wanted to second this post that a new sim card is the key to solving this issue. In my case, I was using Red Pocket CDMA (VZW network), and I ran into the same problem. Red Pocket rep explained to me that my sim got provisioned to 3g only and that I needed a new sim to connect to LTE. As soon as we switched to a new sim, I got LTE. I hope this helps others.
Hi, I've seen where some users have reported success getting VoLTE to work on the OP 6 on AT&T, but I have not had the same success in the OP 6T. I followed the same steps and enabled it on the phone, which now shows that it should use VoLTE when available. I have also spent many (painful) hours in the phone with AT&T trying to resolve this issue, all without success. Has anyone else been able to get this to work, and confirmed that LTE data is still presented when in a call?
Thanks in advance!
I have the McLaren version and with TMobile and I can confirm that it is using VoLTE see picture below.
"technically" I'm using at&t, but it's a tracfone sim via Straight Talk. I enabled it for both VoLTE & VoWifi, and the LTE one took off but the wifi version did not.
I DID notice the difference in call quality. Much better audio response.
Yeah. I'm on AT&T and I got VoLTE working. I just made a call and did a speed test while on the call. Everything indicated it was still on LTE.

I had issues with VoLTE when I first got phone. Read my post from another thread. Basically had to wait for AT&T to get my line provisioned correctly. Don't know exactly what needed to be changed/activated.
sharksfan7 said:
I got my 6T on Friday. Used @crowsnestitsupport's instructions for the *#800# trick to get the VoLTE & WiFi calling settings to show. Popped in my sim. Had LTE data but didn't get VoLTE & couldn't get AT&T's VVM app to activate. Called support, ended up giving them my IMEI and not surprisingly it came up as Unknown Device. Guy basically said until the system can recognize the device there was nothing he could do to get VoLTE & VVM working. However after I got off the phone, I quickly realized I no longer had any mobile data at all. Called back, spoke to another rep, and she tried for an hour to get my data back. She wasn't able to. She had to escalate the issue and said it could take 24 hours or more to resolve. I figured out that if I changed APN from ATT Nextgenphone to ATT Phone I could at least have some mobile data, albeit only 3G. Wasn't until Sunday afternoon that LTE came back online including VoLTE. I don't know what had to change to get it all working. Just glad that it is now. Still no WiFi calling but I don't expect to get that.

It's well documented that that doesn't work, doesn't change anything. I spent two years with the OP5 and 5t trying to get them to enable VOLTE, in about 12 different ways and it never worked. Either you were on WIFI or just really, really special.

I appreciate the feedback, just wish I could get it working on mine. As much as I hate the experience, I'm thinking it might just be worth going to the AT&T store just to get them to use my SIM in one of their devices just to get VoLTE working on the line (and/or verify it works on one of their with it already activated)

So, I can now confirm that VoLTE works on the 6T. Basically, the system requires HDVoice to get VoLTE working. The solution? I bought a $25 AT&T Prepaid junk phone and enabled HDVoice and WiFi calling on my SIM. After that, I switched the SIM back in to my 6T and it is now working.

I did, numerous times. They submitted my IMEI to enable the features, and I was told that everything was set up correctly. Upon their recommendation, I went as far as sending my brand new 6T back and buying another one. It didn't matter how many people I talked to, it didn't work until after I used the junk phone to first get it working on the line.

I can make VoLTE or vowifi calls with my sim on other device, but once I switch to 6T, none of features works.

When I first swapped it worked and then stopped. I had to put the SIM back in the AT&T phone and again enabled VoWiFi. I then pulled the battery, turned on the 6T, and inserted the SIM. It's been working on the 6T since.
Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone found out exactly what to do to get this working?
VoLTE was working perfectly on my 3T, albeit the only way to make the switches appear was with the VoEnabler module in Magisk.. but once they appeared, all I had to do was turn it on, and VoLTE was up and running. I tried the same thing on this phone after putting my SIM in, directly from the 3T; it worked for a few minutes, then the status bar icon disappeared and calls drop my connection to 3G, then go back to LTE once the call is over.. so clearly it has turned itself can off.
I then put my SIM card into my wife's At&t branded Galaxy s9, and after a few minutes VoLTE was working, using my SIM in her phone. I popped my SIM back into my phone, VoLTE was back working... Except, just as before, after a few minutes it stopped.
One thing I've noticed, while working correctly, under the IMS Service Status menu selection in the *#*#4636#*#* dialer menu -> Phone Information, it shows IMS Registration: Registered. Voice over LTE: available... But once it stops working, it says not registered, and unavailable respectively...
Since there are apparently people who seem to have it working, what am I not doing?
Could it be that the phone I put my SIM card into, is currently in use by someone else; someone else who also is provisioned for VoLTE? But what would be the reason it decided to stop working on my 6T and not my 3T? I used the same procedure to trigger VoLTE working on my 3T, and it never stopped working as it is doing on my 6T.
We work opposite shifts, and I used my few minutes we see each other a day to put my SIM in her phone then back into my 6T, I didn't put it in my 3T, which I will do next time I see her.. just to see if the 3T will hold onto VoLTE; that way I'll know for sure if it's something the 6T is doing differently than my 3T, or if I just got lucky before...
Any input or suggestions are welcome..
Edit:
Called AT&T customer service, put my SIM in the S9 and said I was unable to activate either WiFi calling or HD Voice, yet my wife's SIM in the same phone works.. they said that for some reason, my SIM was apparently attached to a non at&t Galaxy s9, she changed the IMEI associated with my SIM card and it's all good now.
With AT&T, If i enable VoLTE, i did not see the "HD" icon when making call. If i disable VoLTE, i see the the "HD" icon. Why is it backward?

Opposite for me... The HD icon only appears when I have VoLTE on, as shown.. perhaps something to do with using 2 SIM cards?
I got volte and vowifi enabled and only problem is that i cant see the volte icon on status bar.
