I am just about to switch to T-Mobile and I see that there isn't WiFi calling enabled on the pure...which is just mind boggling to me. Are there any ROMs or anyway to get it working?
My understanding is that WiFi calling requires 6.0.1 on an XT1575, or that the feature isn't present in 6.0. I am on VZ but bought a prepaid T-Mobile SIM to try out their coverage in my area (better than VZ) but still no wifi calling... I'd like to get my hands on 6.0.1 to test further but can't find it...

Hmm...hope your right about the 6.0.1. That should be released any day now
Maybe someone else can chime in here but since T-Mobile doesn't appear to tie IMEI of device to SIM card, I don't see how they could selectively prevent a feature like wifi calling from working if it's supported in the device OS.. ?

I may be wrong but the Wifi calling feature was standard in the Android Marshmallow update for all phones. But for some reason it was Motorola who took it out? I may be wrong tho

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.
Jio SIM is not supported on Moto g4 plus. You won't get network.

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...!?
Moto G4 plus supports VoLTE natively

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

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.
I knew something was not right. I am not nuts afterall, lol!!!

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.

I am wondering latest OTA update ruined the VOLTE, is there any way I can go back to previous build w/o voiding warranty??
I bought my G4 just over a month ago and am extremely happy with it. But for some reason I am not able to enable the Portable WIFI Hotspot. It tells me "Your current rate plan does not support this feature." WRONG! I verified with my provider (Consumer Cellular) that this is incorrect. Not only that, I had the capability on my Moto G2 (for over two years) and it works now on my wife's Moto G3 (same plan, shared data and phone service).
To complicate matters even more, I tried out Resurrection Remix for about a week and I could enable it in that ROM. But because of other issues I returned to stock with Element-X kernel.
Anybody have any ideas?
This is the G4 Plus forum. Are you using the system hotspot setting or a different app?
The system setting does work for me, but I am on a different provider.

I realize this is the G4 plus forum. But given that all of the ROM's and kernels for both devices have been merged in this forum, there is little or no response to posts placed in the G4 forum.
I am using the system hotspot setting in all cases, both stock and Resurrection Remix.

Fantastic! It works like a charm. This was the only issue I have with my Stock/Element-X combo. Now I can stick with it. :good::good::good::good::good:
just see if you have consumer cellular app in settings it doesn't show up in app drawer but it is installed check in apps in settings and force stop it and disable it and check if it solves the problem i saw it my self in my phone XT1643 indian moto g4 plus we don't have consumer cellular in our country and that app is still installed so i disabled it.it is installed default in every moto g4 stock rom
There are many others. They are not "installed" actually, just provisioned for.
I've actually asked this question on a few existing threads but I haven't received any answers.
I just picked up the Moto X Force running 6.0 here in India on a sale, but it currently doesn't support VoLTE. I don't mind the wait, but it'll be absolutely useless for me if VoLTE is still unsupported post the upcoming Nougat update. If anyone could help me with this question, I'll be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
No. As far As I know for both Quark and Kinzie only Verizon VOLTE is supported on the Verizon stock firmware.
A lot of India people have tried to get VoLTE on the Moto Turbo XT1225 (India version of the Droid Turbo) and it doesn't work.
Same thing with Moto X Force, the international version of the Droid Turbo 2.
When Motorola updated the Quarks and Kinzies to Marshmallow they could have added general VoLTE support, just like the Verizon variants had on Verizon network, but they didn't. If they didn't a year ago they won't with Nougat either. They want you to buy a new phone, not give more functionality to an older phone.

Is it still worth Im getting a used one for 8k?? How it perform after 7.0 update??
where are you getting it for 8K! Im using one and will buy another.
As for the VoLTE is concerned im using Airtel 4G and use my phone on 3G to save battery VoLTE will not add some extra MBPS to your device.
Its performing as fluid on Android 6 no complaints

It works beautifully with the 7.0 update, I however sold it off as it was useless to me without VoLTE. 8k is a very good deal if VoLTE is not important for you.
I have an unlocked Moto g7 that I bought from Best buy. It is the stock firmware, and I know it is unlocked firmware because there was no bloatware.
The only problem is I live in a basement where my connection is spotty (at best) and Verizon doesn't allow unlocked firmware to use WiFi calling.
Is it possibly to get WiFi calling by flashing the Verizon firmware onto my device? If so, where would I look to get that firmware? All I can seem to find is lineage, which I don't think would solve my issue.
No such thing for Moto G7. You can either flash RETAIL, AMAZON, or RETUS firmwares from lolinetmirrors. They all work for Verizon
Sad day. I know this may be a dumby question, but is there a Verizon stock firmware I could flash to the Moto g7? Like, from the Moto g7 play/power? Or is that a big no-no?
No-No. Firmwares are not interchangeable between models.
Aight. Looks like I am doomed to live a life without WiFi calling.
I have Verizon. Moto G 7 river. Currently running Lineage. I have WiFi calling.
Interesting. Maybe I'll have to give lineage a try

@Phalanx7621 could you verify that WiFi calling actually does activate? I've read another forum that said they had the option listed, but when they switched it on, it would have switched back off when they returned to the setting. This makes me wonder if maybe LineageOS supports the option, but it still won't work with Verizon.

I've installed a few hacks to and gotten as far as entering my address but wifi calling never actually works.
I tried to flash the vendor.img from the Verizon ocean version and no luck. I tried to extract the files form the vendor img from the Verizon ocean and make a magisk module but could not get it to work.
If WiFi calling actually works with LOS, please let us know. I would flash in a second as i have to use an old 1x extender at home because i live in the boonies and am too cheap to buy a new one.
