HD Voice feature is here!

Since the first day of owning my Droid Turbo I've been waiting for the HD Voice feature. I had it on my LG G2 and loved being able to talk and use internet at the same time.
It looks like Santa Claus stopped at Verizon and we got our gift, HD Voice is here as of last night.
I have been checking my features often and last night I couldn't believe my eyes, HD Voice was available. So hurry up and activate. For those who doesn't know how is very simple and most important it's free. Go to My Verizon app- change features- Advanced Calling- HD Voice- activate- confirm- restart. Enjoy. Merry Christmas everyone!

What area are you in? Curious to see if this is on everywhere or if it will be rolled out regionally.

I'm in the Philadelphia, PA area and it was there for me this morning too, just checked.

I'm not seeing this option on my Verizon mobile; were you actually talking about the web based app?

I did it on line, not on my phone, but after looking again on my phone I don't see where to turn it on there. Guess this just means we are getting closer.

I live in philadelphia, pa and i did it through the app. I turned it on and i still cant use data during a call.

It's advanced calling 1.0... When I read about it on the verizon website it says its voice over LTE. What am I missing?

Same for me. It probably takes a while for the change to go through on Verizon's system but it looks like advanced calling is only HD voice/video calling. There is no mention of VoLTE in the app or VZW website

This is from Verizon Q&A: What is Advanced Calling?
Advanced Calling 1.0 is our first generation of services enabled by VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology. VoLTE is a new technology platform that delivers voice calls over our 4G LTE network instead of the traditional voice network.
The benefits of Advanced Calling 1.0 include:
HD Voice
1-way or 2-way video calls* (including support for video calls over Wi-Fi)
Simultaneous voice and 4G LTE data
6-way conference calls
*Video Calling requires a Video-Calling-enabled phone.

well i guess if i am in Italy and using Droid with another operator ,it won t activare VOLTE ,right??

cant figure out where to find this option on a business plan ? anyone have a idea ? Its not listed as a option under my Verizon app or under options in my online business

Check under add features online.

OK folks here's the info you can go ahead and do what you're doing or call and have it enabled but we're still waiting on a update to make it all work.

So this is only useful for other people that have this activated on Verizon am I correct?

I can also confirm that as of this morning, I was able to enable HD Voice / VoLTE from my Verizon business account page online.
It said I needed to wait until I get an email confirmation that the feature was added, which I havent recieved yet. But at least the option to add the feature is there now, it previously was not.
edit- Confirmation email just recieved. Going to reboot phone and see if this works

I too, was able to enable it on both my lines, which was previously not an option yet am unsure how to see it actually function..

I went online and clicked the HD Voice option. A pop up window came up telling me what I should do on my phone, but my blocker sent it away and I can't retrieve it. Anyone know what setting I am suppose to adjust on the phone?

Samsung G9287 "just once" and "always" buttons missing...

Hi. This is first time I see on Android, why these button missing?
You can see issue on picture.
https://db.tt/DZFk4TfG

I think this is a feature/change of lollipop, I'm sure I read it somewhere, although I can't find it..

I don't think so, I was using S6 without edge, running on lollipop 5.1.1 and that buttons always appears.

I'm using edge plus since 31.08.15, never seen that option, neither on mm. I love that feature btw, would be nice if possible.

I noticed this same thing on my S7 and found a suggestion here for an app called "Better Open With". It gives you the option to use it as default, then gives you app options. Also has a countdown and pause built in. Great little app to fix something they should have just left alone.

Missing "just once" option for picking apps
I'm getting the same problem. Some videos on my device work better with a specific app, other videos with another app, so I like to be able to choose between two apps for opening a file. My Galaxy S7 with Android Marshmallow has removed that option, and it's extremely irritating, not to mention time consuming, to have to go in a manually clear the default app. Maybe Google should include a function where if you long-press on a file, one of your selections will be "Open with ..." like on Windows.

If Your network provider on both SIMs, support call forwarding, it will work without any problems. May cost You a bit.

sprint voicemail on the 935U software

Hey, any of you root people, could you pull the voicemail apk off your phone so I can use it with my flashed universal phone? Have tried the s6 edge software but no go. Thank you

This is simple through titanium backup. No one?

The one on official firmware will not install correctly. But this is an older one that works. Download and install like normal.

Yes.

Thanks again seems to be working

Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.

Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.

It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.
If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).
If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.
These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?

Yeah I couldn't get it to work either

Didn't work for me either

Try this one it worked for me on my unbranded piece o sh!t locked bootloader s7 edge with the added ticking timebomb feature.

Are you sure?
I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.
It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.
Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...

It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back

If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.
I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.
So this is another bust.
I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.
Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.
I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...
Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.
With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?

Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse

Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.

Sprint Calling Plus update for Unlocked S8 (SM-G950U1)

Hi All,
I recently bought Unlocked Galaxy S8 SM-G950U1 and activated on Sprint, after the activation, the phone downloaded some software and rebooted, it does have WiFi calling enabled, but when I call using Wifi and I walk out of WiFi range it doesn't switch to carrier and disconnect. Also when i am not on WiFi, it uses carrier network, but the internet is not available. I googled and find there is new feature called "Calling Plus" from sprint for Galaxy S8, but I don't find it on my phone. Can someone please guide me on how to download it? If this update is not available for unlocked version of S8, can someone point me to a ROM which provide these features?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like "Calling Plus" is their name for VoLTE (voice over LTE). I'm not familiar with Sprint but generally this is enabled in an IMS settings app or menu.
If you download a shortcut cut app, do you see an app called IMS Settings that can be launched?

I use Shortcut Master (lite). With its menu you would choose App Explorer and see if you have IMS Settings app. If you do, that is probably what you need to launch, and basically just enable everything within it.

ok I did some digging and Sprint says this on their website:
Is Calling PLUS the same as VoLTE (Voice over LTE)?
No, the current Calling PLUS solution provides VoIP capabilities using the Sprint LTE network. Sprint is on a path toward having an all IP-based network capable of supporting VoLTE. We have not announced a timeframe for commercial deployment of VoLTE. Today we offer HD Voice on a very efficient CDMA1x platform and our voice network is ranked #2 nationwide by independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics. We will transition customers to VoLTE when we are confident we can match the great voice experience provided today.

I am thinking this is the same with T-Mobile Wifi Calling where you have to have some underlying apps/framework to have the feature available
Since you are on the stock unlocked firmware, this is probably absent.
The latest Sprint firmware I see on Sammobile is this one from December 2017
If you are not yet rooted you can just flash that with Odin, and use the CSC app (launched via Shortcut Master Lite) to switch the phone's CSC to SPR, though this will wipe the internal storage.
If you are rooted, you would need to find a ROM that is made from/for Sprint I believe.

Sorry for late reply, so right now best solution will wipe my internal storage... thanks for replying... If I have to wipe storage, I would rather root and get some nice rom.

Guys, I found a way to make VoLTE calling work on my unlocked s8 plus.
1. In Nova launcher add widget -> Activities
2. Add LTE Test -> click VoLTE Test UI-> turn on first 2 setting.
3. Add Enhanced LTE Services and select this option.
4. Restart and enjoy.

I tested it out on my 955U1 Unlocked GS8+ on the latest Beta 7 Oreo software.

I am glad it worked. I was literally jumping at my cube when it worked too ?.

I'm on AT&T network running 7.0.

[Guide] Activate Native Video Calling (over LTE), RCS & other features

Quick Note before you start this - If you are on stable one UI 3.x / Android 11 or greater, see the bottom of the post to see the workaround. Thanks to @knuschit
Introduction - If you have ever bought a device that comes locked with the carrier you will see there are some carrier baked features missing in unlocked devices. While putting in your sim will change CSC of your device you might still not get all the features. So far i fail to understand why would device makers and Carriers make it so difficult for users. I have scourged through so many forums and found info like these where a t-mobile rep responds saying there is no way those features can be added to non carrier branded device ( Either a blatant lie or the reps are ill informed or both).
My Device - Unlocked SM-N986U1 with tmobile sim - CSC - TMB/TMB/XAA
Problem Statement- I want Video calling over LTE and RCS features.
Solution - Follow the steps carefully and also see the attached screenshots -
There are other ways of doing this by creating shortcut to ims service settings but i am posting something that most users can easily do.
Quick Pre-Check - Before starting if you have been using RCS on Google Messages you might want to de-register. Follow the process here: https://messages.google.com/disable-chat.
You can always activate it in case you want to go back to RCS on google messages.
This will only work if you are on Android 10, or the Beta version of Android 11. Samsung has blocked this on Stable Android 11.
STEPS​1. Download and install Phone app (By google)
2. Open the phone App that you just downloaded and make it your default Phone app.
3. Dial *#*#467#*#*
4. You will see the settings as in my Screenshot 1
5. Tap on IMS Service Switch (The first Option)
In case you cant see the screenshot - Just tap on the first option IMS service Switch, Then make sure MMTEL Switch and RCS Switch is toggled on.
If you see below RCS Switch there is a section titled MMTEL
Sub-options of MMTEL are
VoLTE
VoLTE-Video
VoLTE-Call-Composer
SMS over IP
Supplementary Services
Called Dial Third Party Number
JUST TURN ALL THESE TOGGLES ON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
7. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
8. I changed back to default phone app after this.
9. And done you should have the video calling over LTE to fellow T-Mobile users activated now.
I have already made a few calls and tested it and can confirm that this works. This might work for Sprint too.
NOTE THAT - Default video call on contacts is still duo. you have to make a regular voice call to a contact first then you will see the native video call icon.
These settings wont stick after OS/Firmware update via Odin, OTA or Sideload and steps would need to be repeated.​
Edit Update -You can See all three screenshots together here.
Let us know how it goes here and if you explored any more settings and i will update this post with due credit.
WORKAROUND: SINCE THE ABOVE METHOD IS NOT WORKING ON ONE UI 3.X / Android 11​The conventional method doesnt work on Android 11 so use the method below:
1. Install Alliance Shield X >> Create account and Give necessary permissions
2. Open Alliance Shield X settings and toggle New App Manager Layout On
3. Look at this post and follow
4. See the Screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON.
5. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
I can confirm this works.
ADDITIONAL CONFIRMED INFO FROM USERS / TROUBLESHOOTING​
Try the following step in case you had RCS activated on Google Messages and doing the above steps does not get you RCS in the Native SMS App. Thanks @Compusmurf
Compusmurf said:
Also, might add. IF you were previously using Google messages, then you do this, you probably will have to UNREGISTER from Google Messages for Samsung Messages to pick up RCS.....

The default on contacts will still show duo. Make a regular voice call and then you will see the native video call icon wait i will show you as you can SEE HERE
As soon as the person answers the option to toggle to video is activated in the first row center icon. Let me know if that is the same for you and works.
It used to be a call hold icon earlier before we toggled the IMS settings.

I have scourged through so many forums and found info like these where a t-mobile rep responds saying there is no way those features can be added to non carrier branded device ( Either a blatant lie or the reps are ill informed or both).
My Device - Unlocked SM-N986U1 with tmobile sim - CSC - TMB/TMB/XAA
Problem Statement- I want Video calling over LTE and RCS features.
Solution - Follow the steps carefully and also see the attached screenshots -
There are other ways of doing this by creating shortcut to ims service settings but i am posting something that most users can easily do.
1. Download and install Phone app (By google)
2. Open the phone App that you just downloaded and make it your default Phone app.
2. Dial *#*#467#*#*
3. You will see the settings as in my Screenshot 1
4. Tap on IMS Service Switch (The first Option)
5. See the screenshot 2 and move all the switches to ON - My video share was on, it turned off while taking screenshot so make it on too.
6. Go back to main page and then go to RCS Configuration settings and make sure they are selected to be always on as in Screenshot 3.
7. I changed back to default phone app after this.
8. And done you should have the video calling over LTE to fellow T-Mobile users activated now.
I have already made a few calls and tested it and can confirm that this works. This might work for Sprint too.
Let us know how it goes here and if you explored any more settings and i will update this post with due credit.
NOTE THAT - Default video call on contacts is still duo. you have to make a regular voice call to a contact first then you will see the native video call icon.

Because You dialed wrong code you dialed *#*#467*#*# please check what i asked to dial.

I have a U.S t-mobile branded phone (AT15 ; Sep security patch)and use the Samsung stock messaging app. I have been hoping for RCS to be enabled but that hasn't happened yet. I know google messaging has this feature but I prefer to stick with my current stock samsung messaging app. Will following your method help me in activating RCS? Thanks!

Yes it will and i can confirm i checked and it is working. I see when my friend with RCS activated is typing. So typing indicators are working a big sign that RCS is working.
To verify before you do any of the above steps open your default Samsung SMS app and go to settings by clicking on 3 dots on top right, do you see an option called 'Chat Settings' if not, once you have gone through the suggested steps above you will see chat settings activated meaning RCS working.

Also, might add. IF you were previously using Google messages, then you do this, you probably will have to UNREGISTER from Google Messages for Samsung Messages to pick up RCS.....

Thanks for confirming.

I did all this a week or 2 back to mine and my granddaughters phones.
I didn't do any kind of writeup because this info has been out there in the wild, just not overly shared because there are other options in that menu that can wreck your phone experience.
Glad someone did.
(Note to folks, don't go randomly changing things here if you don't know what they are and haven't been validated by others)
Since you did so good here, you should write a document for folks how to "update" using FRIJA and ODIN for folks with U1 devices. Maybe that'll cut down on the folks that complain that they can't get Month X security update because Carrier Y is slow.
I know how, but writing a document step by step isn't the same and I'm very bad at documentation.
