Is there an option anywhere in the phone for this? The Sprint FAQ, circa 2014, says that you can only HD call to other Sprint customers. Does it work like Verizon where you have to be on LTE? Do I have to add a service/enable it?
Just got the Galaxy S7 Edge with Sprint, switched to their 50% off from Verizon and had them buy me out of my S6 Edge. Quite pleased so far.
I never heard of or used HD calling before but I called my S6 (sprint) a couple of days ago, it showed in the call log that it was an HD call and it only shows that symbol when I call people with Sprint. I think its enabled by default.
It enables automatically if the other sprint customer has an HD enabled phone. Note 3 and up I believe have it. It will say in the call log if it's hd or not. U can hear a clear difference in quality over standard.

Thanks. Yeah when I used it on Verizon it was much more clear, you can definitely tell when it's on. The reason I asked was Verizon S6 had options to turn it on and worked with any carrier with a supporting phone. Oh well, not a big deal.

I have an S7E i just got and I can't seem to get HD to work at all? can anyone with same phone confirm it's working still after that last big update a few weeks back?
Is it tied to an app?
My old rooted S5 that had a different firmware even worked fine in HD but not this.
I did uninstall and disable a few things on this.
I'm calling people whom I know have working HD because they see in call log when they call others with it but not with me and I don't see on my phone either.
Just wondering if some hidden setting or something isn't right or if any way to test?
If you enable WiFi calling it will break HD calling. The only way to get it back is a factory reset
Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
I think the latest update fixes that. I see mine now attempting HD before a call.

Does anyone know how to check whether HD Voice is enabled on the handset. Im currently with 3 network in the UK who state that the device is HD Voice enabled. When i call my friend who's also on three (also has a S5) there is definately no HD Voice yet when we use our S3 it works everytime. Im wondering whether 3 have it turned off on their rom but aren't saying.
I tried the menu options which worked on the S4 to see if WB-AMR was enabled but it doesn't work on the S5. Any ideas?
I'm on 3 too and was wondering the same.... how do we enable it...when you make a call there's a little phone icon on the right....what's that?

Pretty sure there isn't an option and it will be enabled by default. You both need to be running on at least 3g to use it.

Im 99% of the time on H+ as well. Was on 4G the other day and still no HD Voice. The little phone icon allows you to enable extra in call volume that's all it's for.
Hopefully someone will figure out the service menu to check if it's enabled. It's annoying me
Cheers stevie....If I find out ill.let you know

Bump, my girlfriends S5 doesn't pick up wideband audio calling and it's frustrating. Were on Rogers network in Canada. I'm on moto x and I get HD voice with iPhone 5 and nexus users, just not her Samsung S5.
I have the 98/33 radio with stock ROM and kernal running 4.4.4. I am rooted and have ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 in my build prop. I went to a T-Mobile store and made a call from an S5 which has the HD indicator and it did not light up when I called or when I received a call.
I am at a loss as to if our nexus 4 is capable to have this work on T-Mobile.

sure. I get HD calls all the time, on my n4 and n5. it'll only happen if the other phone is connected to HD calling as well. when you called your phone from an s5, what didn't light up? the n4 doesn't have any kind of indicator, but you can hear the difference in quality.
What radio are u running? What are your settings? I verified with a phone S5 which has an HD indicator and it was not lit when I called it or received a call.

because i use my nexus 5 mostly. sometimes I'll use my n4 as a daily, but usually its the n5 as a daily and the n4 as a WiFi device. last week I used my n4 as my daily(phone) for a day and was getting slightly faster speeds on my n4 than my n5(64mbps download/21mbps upload). and I've never had an issue with the radio, so I keep using it. oh, and I'm using KitKat, 444(lichtis rastakat).
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------
try using the lte APN, maybe it'll make a difference.
I've flashed the 84/33 modem and will test it out at a T-Mobile store that has a working S5. If the HD is working, the S5 indicator will show HD. That is the only way that I can verify if it is working.
SMS/MMS
I think the question should be who makes calls anymore
After going to a T-Mobile store which has a working HD indicator phone(S5), I can report that the nexus 4 does NOT support HD voice. I tried all of the radio combinations and the indicator would not work on the S5.
Unless there is a codec that can be installed, I don't believe our phone has the hardware to support this function.
I reserve the right to be wrong and hope someone can show me how and why I am!

just like I claim it does, so do they http://www.anandtech.com/show/6594/tmobile-announces-amrwb-hd-voice-calls-active-on-its-network
I placed a number of calls between T-Mobile users last night to try and gauge any perceptible difference. I've previously heard AMR-WB demos and run loopback calls on the Anritsu base station emulator, and there is a perceptible difference. I originated a call on a Nexus 4 and terminated it on a Nexus 4 with both on T-Mobile, which sounded excellent, and then between an iPhone 5 (attached to PCS WCDMA here in Las Vegas) and a Nexus 4, which also sounded very different than an AT&T AMR-NB originated and terminated call. I need to do more testing back home, but T-Mobile's claims that this is live right now and working seem credible, calls sounded crisp and much more intelligible than some of the AMR-NB calls I've been on.

I am basing my info on fact, not feeling. You need two working phones that support HD. The S5 displays if HD is working. It did not display when I tried all radio combos. I also tried the sine wave on some of the radios with nothing to report. If someone can report that the 2nd device they are testing has an HD indicator, and it does work, we can have a conversation.

maybe the s5 can't tell if its connected to a HD call with a nexus? I have a s4 as well as a n5. Samsung has some really crappy software for sure.
One of the reps in the store had an IPhone 5S and and it worked, so the only other reliable test is the sine wave.

All of this talk about HD, now I want to try it out too :fingers-crossed: even though I hardly make phone calls anymore...
Just like the whole 4K TV craze and 1440 x 2560 display resolution on phones...

Nexus 4 does not support HD Voice in hardware. It had a software support for HD Voice till 4.3 , then it was droped.
So, unfortunately, you will get no HD Voice on Nexus 4 with kitkat.
According to anandtech nexus 4 supports hd voice however it isn't on the T-Mobile whitelist. The nexus 5 however is.
From the link:
" I’m actually very impressed with how well the Nexus 5 performed at rejecting noise using the normal babble distractor track I use. In addition this was a T-Mobile AMR-WB “HD Voice” call between two Nexus 5s, illustrating that the Nexus 5 is indeed in the T-Mobile whitelist for HD Voice.
As an aside, the Nexus 4 oddly enough still hasn’t been green lit for HD Voice on T-Mobile, and given its age probably never will at this point, although the hardware is entirely capable."

I remember having this working a long ass time ago, (working with N4 to N4 calls) and some kind of upgrade killed it and it hasn't worked since. I'm now testing with N4 to N5, and can't get it to work. I can test the N5 with other phones and it sounds clear as day different, but the N4 just doesn't work.
I've tried flashing these custom radios on my stock 4.4.4, even modded the build.prop, yet I can't get the thing to work. Anybody else able to get it working?
So I remember T-Mobile rolled out WiFi calling. I downloaded Google hangouts dialer and tried the calling feature.
First I connected through WiFi and ran the app and made a call to a ATT cell phone. And it worked. So then I turned off WiFi and turned on mobile data. Made another call to same ATT cell phone and boom! N7 T-Mobile walking talking phone.
I'm stock rooted, google hangouts dialer. I don't know if this works on ATT or Verizon because I stunt have a Sim. My call went over 'H'. I have no LTE connection in my room.
Anyone else want to confirm. But sweet

I thought it wasn't supposed to, because Google locked it down. You couldn't do this before. I don't believe this worked until volte started to roll out. And with Google integrating this into hangouts

It started working when the dialer came out. Doesn't have anything to do with the rollout of volte on some carriers.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
The dialer included with hangouts is just a way to connect to gvoice with voip, which has been possible for years with 3rd party clients such as Grooveip
All it does is simplify the process of setting up, the concept is the same.
Literally any device that can connect to the internet can do hangout calls in the same manner, as there's no carriers involved at all. As far as they're concerned it's merely data.
What they did do was disable the method some clients, such as grooveip, used to connect to gvoice.
But there are multiple methods, existing solutions such as obitalk can still connect to gvoice via voip.

Just got off the phone with Sprint and their network vision team told me it will be the 1st quarter of 2017 before they start implementing Volte. I just don't know if I'm willing to wait that long and then be told they are not going to implement it because the other 3 carriers have moved on to bigger and better things. I've been with sprint about 10 years and this just seems to be the norm and I don't know about alot of the people on here but the norm is getting really old to me.

The solution I use so i can have internet and talk on the phone is using hangout and hangouts dialer great solution works great for me and it can hold you over till they bring volte.
I tried that but never could get all the settings right or something every time someone would call me while I was on a hangouts call it would kick me off

Hi I have an unrooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I would actually like to keep it unrooted also. I I had no problem doing Wi-Fi tether before, but I was wondering if it's possible to Wi-Fi tether my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge device for free without rooting? I've tried everything that I can read on the internet but nothing seems to work. I keep getting the message saying a Sprint wants me to sign up for their service. I would rather not if I don't have to. Thank you
