Curious.... What are people going to do if they get the phone on TMobile and it has no volte? Essential won't tell us so who knows
I thought this was already stated that it would work with all carriers including Tmobile
Yes but that doesn't mean it will support volte, HD or evs
I’m pretty sure it was asked directly if the phone would work with those features and they said if the service supports it then it will work as intended. The only questionable thing was some sprint uses which I forget what it was.
well, my Mi Note 2 supports VoLTE so I have no reason to think that this device will not work accordingly.

Yes on TMobile USA. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it's already certified on T-Mobile, just not Verizon.
Only Verizon certification is not complete. At least from the information I have.
I have the phone on T-Mobile and it supports Wi-fi calling, HD Voice, and VoLTE out of the box.

For wi-fi calling I just went to an area with wi-fi but no cell signal and confirmed I was able to make a call with it turned on. For VoLTE I just checked that the data didn't drop to 3G or EDGE when I made a call. And for HD Voice I just called another T-Mobile phone and it'll say "HD" next to the call timer if it's an HD Voice call.
Wifi calling turned on today on my phone after not working the past 3 days.

Yes the phone is volte ready (or so the LG site says so) but it wont work till the carrier probably pushes a ota enabling it. Also it wont work till the carriers throw the switch on the towers enabling it too.

Yep what this guy said. The Snapdragon 800 chipset has VoLTE support so any phone running this chipset could theoretically be enabled to use voice over LTE.

It's the lowest frequency cellphone band, so theoretically has the best range...
for t-mo at least, it's their answer for being able to keep a cell phone signal inside of buildings. the lower the MHz, the better it penetrates, and like was said, generally the longer the range too.
If you're not on T-Mobile band 12 is worthless to you.

What exactly is BS? T-Mobile is pushing manufacturers to disable band 12 if they don't have VoLTE due to issues calling 911. Until Motorola decides to add VoLTE on their devices, I doubt you will ever see band 12 enabled on their non T-Mobile branded phones ever again.

You didn't even give a reason. You just said Motorola is lying. Yet, we know manufacturers of unlocked phones are disabling band 12 when they don't support VoLTE. Clearly, T-Mobile is pushing them to do it as they gain nothing by disabling it for any other reason. I'm not going to believe your random conspiracy theory over common sense.

I posted the WIFI calling question on the ATT Forums. This is the response,
wifi calling will only be available on phones purchased thru ATT is what has been said. You cant get HDvoice on non ATT phones either nor the nexus 6 which ATT did sell. You can bring your own phone but ATT is not going to make some features available to you to use.
I believe the only device that supports wifi calling on AT&T is the iPhone at the moment..

So even though you can buy an iphone thru apple and get it actyivated on att....you get the all att's supported feature even though the phone wasnt bought from att? However the google phone does not get the same support? That would be discrimination wouldnt it?
Actually.....I just called and the CSR atteampt to manually enter the provision for wifi calling and HD voice and she said it didnt work because it said my phone wasnt capable of the wifi calling feature. And the way it works she claimed is you provision my phone to do wifi calling and it will automatically enable the HD voice feature in tandem....but it wouldnt go thru
Since my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was updated to MM OTA with AT&T it now has wifi calling and HD voice. I was wondering if now since my Nexus 6P was updated to Nougat and it has everything needed for Wifi calling and HD voice is there a way to enable them now on AT&T?

Opened the Settings app earlier and there was a suggestion at the top to turn on Wifi calling. I'm on At&t and November update.
How did you get this to work? I've been trying to days to enable this option. I pushed "adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_enabled1" but to no avail has it worked.
I am on AT&T and have tried this with both a Google Pixel XL 2 from Google and Verizon. If you could give me any details of what your setup is like so I can try to enable this I'd dearly appreciate it!

+1 how? Very curious.
a screenshot showing the actual call going over wifi is needed.
unless ATT changed their mind in the last week, WiFi calling isnt available for the Pixel 2/XL, even if the option is enabled, the account has to be provisioned, and the phone needs the proper IMS profile, ATT to this date has refused to allow it.
This is the first I've seen the option even appear. Will test some calls and report back.

Looks like it isn't up and rolling yet, but the fact that the option appears has me hopeful. At&t still doesn't say that it supports VoLTE on P2XL, but we have that working, so perhaps Wi-Fi calling is coming soon.

Here's hoping. My apartment is on the bottom floor so reception is very spotty. What has been weird though is that if I start a call when I have reception and move to a spot in my apartment where there is no cell service, the call persists. So part of me thinks me enabling Wifi Calling from ADB may have done something?

Because idiots around the US have no idea what they're talking about then they say "VoLTE on AT&T only works with AT&T-branded Android phones or iPhones". As long as a manufacturer certifies their device with AT&T, and configure their devices with the proper IMS profile for AT&T's network, VoLTE will work. Google (HTC/LG) certified the Pixel 2 / 2 XL with AT&T for VoLTE and RCS, both of which work if all criteria are met (proper SIM card, IMEI updated in billing system, options turned on), and right now, 8.1 DP1/DP2 are needed to use VoLTE on AT&T's network, as the modem/IMS configuration was updated on the phone to support it.

VoLTE is enabled in Android 8.1 for AT&T. I just flashed the final factory image and it does indeed work. You do have to verify that your sim card is properly provisioned for VoLTE. As for the WiFi calling portion of this conversation, I still cannot access the "Wi-Fi calling" setting within "Mobile network settings."

Check to make sure your sim card supports it. If it does you'll wanna call att and have a technician make sure your account is provisioned properly. Also you'll need to make sure they have the IMEI of your phone.

Thanks very much. I am trying to decide between the V35 (unlocked) and V40. This info helps.
The phone is compatible, however the carrier may not allow it.
T mobile for example only allows band 71, wifi calling and volte on their phones.
In other words: in addition to the right hardware support you need to have the right modem software and rom

The later builds of the v350 awm firmware seem to work with tmobile WiFi calling and early ones, no. The certain fix is to flash your awm with ulm firmware and wifi calling works.
