As per thread title.
Unrooted, stock Galaxy S7 Edge with latest available firmware.
Under Settings -> Mobile Networks I have a VoLTE Call switch which is on, and network mode set to Auto (LTE/3G/2G).
Weirdly, when I'm at home which is definitely within a Three 4G coverage area (with, allegedly, support for VoLTE or "4G Super Voice" as they're calling it), if I reboot
the phone, a VoLTE icon appears for a short while in the notification bar and then disappears.
Three's webpage talks about S7 Edge users needing to get an update, but their instructions just direct people to do the standard android check for updates, of which
there don't seem to be any newer ones. So clearly, the phone IS working with their VoLTE support but other than the Icon's brief appearance, there's no way to tell
if it's actually working.
Oddly, friends of mine with S7 Edge's bought around the same time and on EXACTLY the same firmware (build, kernel etc.) don't have that VoLTE option at all.
Any thoughts?

You need to add an IMS APN
Hi
As for VoLTE to work, you need to add an IMS APN, usually as follows:
Name: IMS
APN: ims
Authentication type: None (sometime PAP)
APN type: ims
BR,
xe
Thanks, I gave it a try that but it didn't save, even though I pressed the save button. The new APN I tried adding didn't appear after a reboot either.
Also, the "Three" APN that is currently there isn't editable either unfortunately.
Is there a way to get VOLTE working on AT&T in the US?
I have Three and have VoLTE and I switched from the carrier branded to the unbranded BTU version of the software, unrooted. Maybe you could try that?

Would love to know how.. teach me please sensei
My phone was bought sim Free/unlocked from Carphone.. all I did was stick a Three sim in it...
I have an unlocked S7 edge "BTU" firmware and volte does show on mine when i'm in the office. Not that its any good, no one can hear me when i talk to them, i hear them fine. Your friend may be on the xeu firmware which AFAIK doesn't have volte option (Dont quote me on this!!). I think the signal on this phone is shocking actually, my Z5 premium had much better signal. I'll persevere with the S7 edge though.
Search and download odin.
Go to sam firmware and search for G935f (that's your phones model number.) you'll then get a list of firmwares, scroll to United kingdom and click on the btu firmware. (i tried threes H3G firmware and volte didn't work.) Download and extract the firmware. Downloads are sometimes really slow on there so be patient or search for a faster download. The latest UK firmware is: G935FXXU1APD3
Power down your phone, once off hold volume down, home and power button to get to download mode. When download mode shows, press volume up to agree.
Open odin once the samsung drivers have installed for download mode.
Click BL in odin then select the BL file from your extracted firmware
then Click AP then select the AP file from your extracted firmware
then CP then select the CP file from your extracted firmware
then CSC then select the CSC file from your extracted firmware (NOTE: there's 2 csc files don't select the Home_CSC file)
Odin should say your phone is connected.
THE NEXT STEP WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE!! PLEASE MAKE SURE HAVE BACKED IT UP AND WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKS.
Press Start on ODIN and wait about 10 minutes, you should see a progress bar and then "PASS" once done. Your phone will probably reboot once done.
Good Luck from a fellow 3 user

I'm also on Three and have the S7 Edge and I dont have this option. It could just be embedded in the firmware file.
It was a sim free phoneb that I got from car phone.. what's weird is that four friends also got new skin free phones from Samsung directly, all of the firmware and kernel numbers match but they don't have it. Also, even with the option on mine, VoLTE doesn't really work.
So still no clear idea from anyone about VoLTE support. However I noticed that VoLTE icon appear in the notification bar whenever I'm in an area with no mobile coverage. I can't make a
call mind you, but yeah.. has anyone else who hasn't had VoLTE working on a Sim free S7 Edge, but has the option turned on, seen this? My wife's S7 Edge is also exhibiting the same behaviour.

Hi
You can try to pull out the customer.xml file under the /system/csc folder and edit the APN profile (to add IMS), then write back to the phone. It will work well, but need SU access to do this.

Looks like they've removed this switch in the latest (September) update. The VoLTE icon used to appear briefly in the notification area on first boot but no sign of it now. No real reliable way to test as network coverage is weird where I live so I can only guess at what Samsung have done.
According to someone on the Digital Spy forums, they tested after the update and still had VoLTE functionality even without the switch toggle - so I guess Samsung
have just baked it in now.
I have S7 edge unlocked from Samsung. I was on Tescomobile (O2) and I've just ported to Three. I don't have the Volte option but I do get the Volte logo on the top of the screen from tine to time. At the weekend I was in a no signal area but I had the Volte logo so I tried a couple of calls. On some calls they couldn't hear me though I could hear them. On others it got almost acceptable two way calling. I'm guessing it is working.. just.

What firmware do you have installed and what csc?
Got it working by extracting the csc zip from the latest h3g firmware and flashing it in TWRP. Following this great guide

Sorry keV didn't see your reply. Have you got it sorted with a newer firmware?

I am on Three Austria (No VoLTE support on this network anyway). Just wondering if (since I recently flashed the unbranded UK BTU -full conversion to BTU to get Nougat and BUT OTA's) will VoLTE work on BTU even if there is no button in any settings ? Not in dialer or network settings.
I guess my question is if Three Austria implements VoLTE will I get it on BTU or will I have to flash back to DRE (3 Hutchison Austria) back again?
Some people have said starting from Nougat providers can push the settings to the phone and no custom firmware is needed, no verification of this info though.
The only provider in my country that supports VoLTE (A1) claims NO you need their firmware.
Maybe I can source an A1 sim and test this.

Do you believe everything you read here on XDA?
95% of all the users and developers here in this xda forum
have already updated the S7 and S7 Edge phones using
the latest Nougat 7 firmware version.
Good luck, have a great day!
I also have a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge duos (G935FD) and I did the update and my 3G/H/H+ data connection does not work when I have both SIM cards in the phone. I have to either use 2G or 4G/LTE for my data connection needs. 2G is too slow and 4G/LTE coverage is far and between in my area, I wish I could go back to Marshmallow.

You can go back to marshmallow firmware or roms.
If you are using the official stock nougat 7 firmware
you can simply go to http://www.sammobile.com and
download the latest Marshmallow 6.01 firmware and
flash it with odin in download mode.
If you are using a zip file custom nougat 7 rom you can
also go back to marshmallow 6.01 if you download and
twrp flash one of the marshmallow custom roms which
are available in this forum.
Good luck, have a great day!
Hi all!
I saw THIS video the other day on Youtube with an S9 being able to acces Secure Folder directly by using other fingerprint, just like Huawei does it.
But although I have the latest (at the moment) Oreo (CRED) on my G950F, I don't have the Fingerprint+ option in Secure Folder (this allows to use a different fingerprint to directly access SF), as you can see it in the video. The Secure Folder is also at its' last version, 1.2.02.34.
Could this be a CSC option? Can anyone confirm it has the Fingerprint+ option in Secure Folder? If so, what CSC are you running?
Wow, never knew this feature existed.
I think this is more of a device exclusive than CSC.
Maybe in Android P update they will give us S9 features. (S7 got plenty of S8 features on Oreo).
Hi
It seems samsung has some sort of propiertary software to get VoLTE/VoWifi working on the galaxy s7 edge.
Im on stock software at the moment and havent rooted my phone.
Is there any roms available, based on android 10 or 11 that support VoLTE/VoWifi ?
I do not get a phone signal from any network where i live and i rely on this.
If i cant use it with the upgrades then they are out of the question really
thanks in advance
On the original android 8.0 or 9.0 Pie NFE 2.2 it is possible to run Volte and Vowifi, but you need to have root and more importantly you need to know the network operator settings for these functions
Assuming your phone service company supports it for S7 edge, the least invasive way is to odin flash a firmware that supports it. No root needed but will need a bit of research. Pretty sure XSA latest version supports those features (Its a pretty clean CSC).
essentially you need:
1 - a ROM that supports it (Keeping in mind that ports and AOSP can complicate this)
2- a CSC that supports it
3 - a phone service provider that supports it in the S7 Edge (Keeping in mind that ports and AOSP can complicate this)
