can i add VOLTE band to Xplay (1562) - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI Gurus,
Firstly wish you all a very happy New year!
I am using MotoX play 1562 in India (dual sim). I am using 4g from a recently launched carrier , however i am only able to use data services and no voice services on that sim. I understand Motox play doesnot support VOLTE band in Inida( Moto g 3rd generation XT1550 does support it!)
My question is can i activate the said LTE band required for VOLTE in Xplay by any means??
Thanks
Sanjeev

Yes you can but service provider have to release separate app for that

Thanks, You are right . they do have an app to enable volte on LTE phones.
but what my concern is will the call quality be same as compared to original VOLTE enabled phones??
Also any other way of adding/enablng volte band?
Thanks

MOTO G4 PLUS VoLTE support & JIO SIM

Thread Closed Per OP Request
Hello Everyone, I am using Moto G4 Plus (XT1643) with JIO 4G SIM. It is on LTE data but VoLTE box is not appearing in status bar. I have to use JIO4GVoice App to place call and receive call and I have to enable data all the time to call or sending sms that causing battery draining. When my phone natively supports VoLTE then why should I use 3rd party app. Please help me. Thanks.

Bro I am using JIO SIM on G4 Plus I got the SIM by showing barcode generated on G4 Plus I am using Data as LTE and can place call and receive call from JioJoin/Jio4G Voice App. Network is showing. And why did u say its not supported???? Even Motorola Forum Moto Agent does say it supports VoLTE on JIO.
That's because I don't get it and that's what the reliance guy here told me. If you got it, good for you. I just shared my experience.

Tell that reliance guy that Moto is on the Welcome Offer since Sept. 5 and it is a 4G phone as well as VoLTE phone.
I have jiofi and got the SIM a lot earlier. So no issues. Just need to carry my jiofi with me where ever I go.
On second thoughts, maybe it depends on how you get the SIM. You used the barcode generated on your Moto G4 to get the SIM. I got it using the preview offer by buying a jiofi. They might be blocking services based on that. Just a wild guess.
I can make volte calls using jiofi. That you already know I guess.

Lol i'm using jio sim from 1.5 months in moto g4 plus!
It supports VoLTE & you doesn't need any app for calling...!
And also you have to be on stock rom for VoLTE support... because as of now no rom supports VoLTE...if you flash custom rom then you have to use jio 4g voice call for calling...!?

Check if VoLTE is turned ON in your device, By going to Settings -> More -> Mobile network Settings -> Enhanced 4G LTE mode

Jio operates on LTE 3,5 and 40 Bands. Moto G4 Plus supports all the 3 bands.
Technically Moto G4 plus supports, but what Reliance Tech guy meant was that Mobiles from Moto was not under Reliance Preview Offer (back then).
But as of 5th of September, Moto mobiles got added. In fact all phones that support 4G (irrespective of Brands) are added under Reliance Welcome Offer.
Also, the SIM you get with JioFi won't work with any 4G devices (not just Moto G4), because it is locked with the JioFi's MAC address.
I'm using Moto G4 with Jio 4G sim since the day it was delivered to me (next day to the launch). I bought it for the same purpose as I had to use JioJoin in my existing Nexus 5 and missing TD Band40(2300MHz).
It works very well and supports all bands as said above by @manubhargav
1. You need to keep the sim in slot 1 to use VoLTE (LTE only can be used in slot 2 also)
2. You will get "Enhanced 4G/LTE Mode" in "Cellular networks" settings in More network settings, this is VoLTE, you need to check this.
If you still don't get VoLTE, let me know.
Edit: @arkadeep2008 I just realized, you asked Moto G4 Plus (XT1043) -- both are different things. Moto G4 Plus should be XT1643, or if you have XT1043, it's G3 instead. Hope that helps.

Your JioFi sim will not work as it is locked to the device, even if you get the network, it will show a network sign-in page and ultimately a "Limit Exhausted" message in the page. This applies to the SIMs activated with LYF phones too. Though, it was said that they will unlock the SIM after preview offer, but seems welcome offer is the continuation for the same.
SIM with Preview Offer from any other handset (Samsung/Moto/etc) would work on any LTE/VoLTE phones.
So it does depend on how you get your jio SIM.

It is selected, and it is in SIM 1. Still no VoLTE box. Tapping on "Turn off VoLTE Provisioned Flag" does nothing.
My experience (with other carriers) is that it depends how the SIM gets provisioned. I had a SIM from T-Mobile for my unlocked phone and that worked in any phone. But when I tried a SIM that came in one of their locked phones, it didn't work in my unlocked phone. Even if that phone got eventually unlocked, the SIM was still unusable in any other phone.
Also the Enhanced LTE option appears only when a VoLTE provisioned sim is inserted.
As per the info on:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/G9Yb2/motorola-moto-g4-plus-dual-sim-lte-32gb-xt1643, the g4 plus should support band 40, which is what gets the VoLTE working.
However, while checking the inbuilt Motorola program menu LTE test settings on my XT1643 the bands listed under LTE Band Selection were: 1,3,5,8. All of which was perfect had it not been for my carrier officially only running FDD bands 3 and 5, so it may not be that Band selection menu corresponded to my CARRIER'S available bands AND NOT the phone's.
I am yet to test my other carrier's sim, which offers VoLTE calling and officially runs band 40 and bands 3 and 5.
Given there haven't been any accounts on here about successful VOLTE connectivity with compatible carriers, it's probably best to wait before drawing any inference.

I called the JIO customer care. They told me that maybe its my phone's firmware glitch, kindly wait for next firmware or software update it will get fixed. So my question is I don't like this recent July patch along with stability improvement update. If I want to go back to previous build how do I do that?? Can anyone tell??

Make sure by putting the sim in a already working VoLTE phone and go to the service center, as all other G4 Plus are known to be working.

RELIANCE JIO 4G SIM ( INDIA ) Nexus 4 Issue..

Recently I bought a Reliance Jio Sim for my nexus 4. But When I plugged it in, It doesn't register on any network.
Anybody knows how to make it work..
I tried changing Cellphone network in Settings to LTE. (didnt work)
I also tried 2nd method which i saw in one of Unbox Therapy Video.
I.e. dialing *#*#4636#*#* from dialer app
then selecting Phone Information .
Inside that Set Preferred network type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
That to didnt work.
Anybody knows any work around.
Thanks in advance.

Our Nexus 4 is an 3G device even if you switch it to LTE(4G) it wont register, because Jio and all those other 4G sim in India uses different Band than aboard carriers.

Which band does 4G network in US work on ..?
Taken from Quora:
Reliance holds the license for 2300 MHz spectrum all over the country plus, 800 MHz spectrum in 10 circles and 1800 MHz spectrum in 6 circles for all kinds of services. 1800 MHz band is one of the most popular bands for deploying LTE services across the world, due to considerable advantages over 2300 MHz band. Around 44% of global 4G networks are deployed over 1800 MHz spectrum.

Swapnil .. 4G wont work in our device.. Only 1-2 bands are supported on our nexus 4 ..
New 4G band auction is going to happen very soon .. Maybe then we can get 4G from some carrier..
But its not worth it .. As i have read somewhere the antennae is there in phone but not the amplifier... So you'll get very weak signals all the time and it'll drain your battery very fast..

Even though you have Nougat on your phone, the modem is still the old one (because you might be knowing that Google doesn't support this phone since last 2 years i.e. after lollipop).
And as I mentioned earlier in my post, JIO can be used on Nexus 4, see this post on facebook.
What Nougat ROM do you have BTW?
Nitin
Is LTE really working on Nexus 4 in India? If so, on what carriers? If someone would be kind enough to confirm. Its just that, other than one person everyone is saying no. Really like my Nexus 4, don't want to buy a new phone
PS: Haven't bought a 4G sim yet, just waiting for confirmation.
I came to know that it only works in LTE band 4; and this band is not used in India. So LTW WILL NOT WORK in India. Don't know why that guy posted that on facebook (to which I linked on last page)
Nitin
Nexus 4 doesnt support TD LTE even after flashing hybrid modem. heck it doesnt even support remianing LTE bands. so no go

[Solved] Reliance Jio VoLTE in M8

As the title says, anybody got VoLTE enabled in M8 ?
I have tried almost all RUU including Developer Edition RUU,Indian RUU etc .None of the ROM doest support VoLTE.
Any suggestions to enable?

2.) Change your CID to Super CID.
3.) Change you MID to 0P6B12000

This is false information. CDMA is a completely different network type from GSM, as well as from LTE. A number of folks have gotten the Sprint M8 to work on LTE networks (aside from Sprint). However, LTE compatibility is a tricky thing. Even with the proper band support on the GSM version M8, I've seen a lot of folks not achieve LTE on their local networks. Let alone VoLTE, which is even more complicated (carrier specific deployments, etc.).

When an M8 version is called "CDMA version" it means the phone supports CDMA in addition to (at least some) GSM and LTE bands.
Sprint is a CDMA network. There is no such thing a Sprint branded device that does not support CDMA.

Well I believe that this is not possible. Because the Htc One M8 Sprint has hardware restrictions. Then the 4G network will work if your carrier has the same bands used by the Sprint carrier. I also have an Htc One M8 Sprint and M9 Sprint also tried converting M8 to Dev Edition and almost briked my device. So really settle for 3G band or sell yours and buy a Dev Edition. If you know a way to bypass those restrictions that will a help for thousands of people like us who want to have a fully working Sprint M8 n M9 on GSM 4G LTE VoLTE ????

You're talking about a couple different things now.
First of all, the Sprint M8 already supports some (not all) LTE bands, out of the box, with no modification. Maybe the bands supported (there are many used by various carriers worldwide) are not the ones required by your local carrier. Or even if it supports the proper bands, that is no guarantee you will have LTE service on your local carrier; due to carrier specific deployments of LTE. From what I've seen, LTE support on various carriers is very tricky and there is no consistency (even when the device supports the proper LTE bands).
I'm fairly certain that some folks on here have had success getting LTE to work on their local networks on the CDMA M8 (at least Verizon). But your results will vary depending on your local carrier and the factors just mentioned. Plus, the Sprint version seems more locked down than the Verizon M8, so yet more complications there.
Second, what you did trying to convert the Sprint M8 (which you did not previously mention, and a completely separate matter) by flashing RUU, firmware, or radio from any other M8 version is definitely impossible, as you mentioned due to hardware differences; in addition to different radios, different partitioning, and different kernels. This is simply the wrong way to try to change band support on a CDMA version M8; which will not work and may (as you know) possibly lead to a radio brick (and sometimes a permanent radio brick).
There are some possible mods to modify band support on the CDMA variants. However, your results again may vary. In particular, it seems the Sprint version is not particularly compatible with such mods. But here they are, in any case. As always, proceed at your own risk, if you so decide to. And only after reading through the threads and understanding properly :

Moto g5 plus indian version in US

Hi ,
I bought moto g5 plus in india. Now i moved to US and using ultra prepaid services. Signals are coming and going(not stable). Calls are getting disconnected in between due to loss in signal. Sim is working fine on moto g 1st gen which i also bought from india 3 years ago. I did factory reset. Will the basic calling and 3g internet work ? sometimes signal is getting detected it is displaying as E(edge) not LTE. also tell about 4G LTE ? Motorola US also not considering as it is bought in india. What to do in this case ? Please suggest. I will be happy if the basic calling and 3g works
You can go to your service providers and ask them whats going on
what carrier are you using in the US?
Tmo heavily uses 1700 around me, and the Indian variant doesn't support it, but it will fall back to 2100, which is support. 2G/Voice should be support though.
something else I would be curious to know is if you have roaming enabled on your device?

VoLTE Support

When and if Moto G5 Plus will support VoLTE for Airtel India and Vodafone India. I see lower end companies like Techno, LeEco, Redmi supporting Airtel VoLTE. Moto G5 in India supports Jio VoLTE without any application. Not sure if it will support Vodafone, Airtel or Idea VoLTE and when will it be if yes. VoLTE is going to become common in year 2018 and having bought Moto G5 less than one year ago, if it does not support operator specific VoLTE it will be very sad.

Send SMS "4G CHECK" to 199 from your device( and vodafone sim in case of dual sim)
I did the same from moto g5 plus (aosp extended rom) and got response like "Your Mobile Handset supports 4G, but will not support VoLTE. Kindly upgrade your handset to experience Vodafone VoLTE."
Done that already. Vodafone has to provide firmware which handset manufacturer need to customize if required and push it. Not sure with whom it is pending Motorola or Vodafone. Moto E4 got update for Airtel VoLTE. Since then everything is in Cold storage.

No. It was just security patch. Waiting for phone's second anniversary and then will buy a new phone. By then 5g phones will be in the market.
