Verizon users with non-Verizon branded N6 - please report VoLTE results on 5.1

Please let the rest of us know if when you upgrade to 5.1, if your non-Verizon branded N6 shows as compatible with the HD Voice feature when you go to enable it. Thanks!!!!

Who has 5.1 yet?

When they get it. Isn't it rolling out starting now? I know that it won't happen instantaneously but once they get it, I am interested in knowing if they get the option of enabling VoLTE with a non-Verizon branded device on their line.

Nope haven't heard or seen anything about the n6 being pushed yet

I will flash as soon as i see it. I will try my best to remember to post back...
What exactly do you want me to test? voice and data at the same time?

Please grab the zip before u update. If its a staged rollout it would help others update sooner

Thanks, first you have to enable VoLTE on your line. So after you get 5.1, you would follow the instructions below to enable VoLTE on your line. It's Step 5 below that I am interested in - does a non-Verizon branded device show up as compatible with HD Voice feature?
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/advanced-calling-faqs/
You have to remove any incompatible features from your line:
Ringback Tones
Slacker Radio Tones
Caller Name ID
Company Name ID
Then you:
1. Sign in to My Verizon.
2. Click Manage My Account and select Manage Products & Apps.
3. Click the Get Products tab at the top of the page.
4. Click Get it now to select the product or service you wish to purchase.
5. When the checkout window opens, choose the compatible devices you'd like HD Voice added to.
6. Click Confirm Purchase to complete the checkout process for the selected devices.
7. Click OK on the confirmation screen. If applicable, a free text message with a link to download the app from the App Store will be sent to the device/s you've selected.
There is another way to do it on certain Advanced Calling 1.0-capable devices (such as LG G3, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, and Motorola Droid Turbo). These phones allow you to get Advanced Calling 1.0 right from your own devices. Simply follow these steps:
Go to Settings.
Tap Advanced Calling under WIRELESS NETWORKS.
Tap Activate Advanced Calling and follow on-screen instruction.
You've successfully added Advanced Calling 1.0.
Business customers: You can add the HD Voice feature in the My Business Account portal as you normally do or by contacting your company's Verizon Wireless administrator.

I can already add HD Voice to my verizon account with the nexus 6 but obviously it doesn't do anything yet. Hopefully with 5.1 it will actually enable voice + data at the same time

Did you have another HD Voice capable device on your line before the N6, like a Droid Turbo or an iP6?
I want to know b/c I want a white N6 and if there were any problems with VoLTE on the non-Verizon branded N6, I would opt for the Verizon blue one. Please let us know if you can do simultaneous voice + data when you update to 5.1, thank you!!!!

Just a FYI... I just went into my account and it shows that HD voice is compatible with my line (n6 from moto). I've had the n6 for a couple months. I was able to set it up through the account but obviously won't be able to try it until 5.1. But at this point, I'm feeling pretty good about it working right out of the box when 5.1 drops.

Thanks! I think it will be fine. I am not sure why the iPhones had problems and the N6 doesn't but it is great news!

I have a Sprint N6 rooted on Verizon and I'm wondering do I have to unroot my phone to be able to get the 5.1 update so I can get VOLTE?

I can't find the option to add HD Voice to my account. Could this be because I am on a grandfathered unlimited data plan?

Verizon Business line
I have a Nexus 6 on a Verizon government/business line. I'll follow up after Android 5.1 drops and let you all know if I get simultaneous voice and data. My line has unlimited data. I am not able to manage my account, so if a feature needs to get added, I need to get my business office to set that up.

I believe VoLTE is coming as standard in 5.1 regardless of carrier. We may be able to use it in custom ROM anyways.

It may be necessary for VoLTE.

According to the release notes HDcalling will be included in Lollipop 5.1 so we not require to flash the official one. Not 100% sure it will work with VZ tho. We'll see.

I'm sure Verizon will find a way to screw us. Its a nexus... Didn't go so well the last time. Wasnt falling for the same tricks again.

Guide To Enabling Video Calling On Unlocked Note 8 With T-Mobile

Hey everyone, I got my unlocked Note 8 yesterday and have been using it with a T-Mobile sim card. I spent a bunch of time trying to get the built in video calling to work and I finally got it, so I thought I would post a guide so the next person doesn't have to do the leg work.
Here is what I did, and I can now call other T-Mobile users via dialer based video calls: (the one down side is all numbers show the video call option, even if they are not T-Mobile customers, the calls just turn into audio when the other person answers)
1. Download Shortcut Master from app store (Light version works, but it's a great app, support the dev if you can)
2. Open the app and go to the menu (three dot's top right) and select app explorer
3. Scroll down to IMS Settings and select it.
4. Scroll down to ImsSettingsLauncherActivity (last item on my list) select it and hit launch.
5. Select IMS Service Switch and under that turn on everything on that screen. (For me most things (especially RCS items) were disabled by default, but when I looked at a friends S8+ settings they were all on so I tried that and all works now.)
6. Make video calls!
That's it, you should be able to make video calls from the dialer now.
Hope this helps someone! Thanks to the app dev and everyone on here for all the help I have gotten over the years!

Hi, Can you help out enabling HD voice & video for us helpless VZW peeps with the unlocked version? Please!!!

Thank you. Will try if and when I get my n8 unlocked

How did you get this to work? i followed the guide and it shows the video icon in the dialer but when i call a friend with the exact same setup it says "video calling is currently not available" and then only does voice.
---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------
Nevermind i got it ha. you gotta place the phone call as a normal call THEN hit the video icon during the call

Tried it for unlocked on Sprint...lol...no go..
.edit: video icon in phone app, have to test

As far as I'm finding on XDA, we'll need to flash the CSC from a T-mobile device to get this working. When I googled it, I found this thread in the S8 forum with a utility for switching CSCs but I am not sure if it would work for the Note 8, and in my case really not sure if it would work to flash a Tmobile CSC (Snapdragon device) on my Korean Exynos model.
Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-0-t3605264

Interesting, good to know and thanks for the info. I won't be getting the unlocked one, I'm getting the international version for rooting so we'll see if it works with that. Sure hope it does because tmobile reception is abysmal where I live.

I have a t moble variant, I want to flash the unlocked firmware but will able to flashback to the t mobile firmware if I wish? that's the only thing stopping me from flashing the unlocked firmware. the video calling was a big deal for me so thank you for figuring this out. also are you 100% on the unlocked firmware or do you have the t mobile CP flashed with the unlocked firmware?

MOD | WORKING Hotspot Mod for Pie on Sprint Note 9

Hello everyone,
A while back I posted an app that helped enable hot spot on our Note 9's. I never imagined the support I would receive. Thank you so much. That app no longer works in Pie and it seems as though Sprint has totally killed the ability to call up that activity within the LTE Settings apk. Well... I found a workaround...
You can do this directly in the settings of your phone with literally no installing of apps or mods of any kind. Simply add a new APN with the same settings as the APN2 LTE | EHRPD internet apn and add the ,dun as we have before, and you're golden. This still makes my app obsolete, but I am happy to share the information. Video link is below for you visual learners.
https://youtu.be/MoyFe2n2hEU
Please consider supporting me via YouTube subs, likes, and comments. Your support means the world to me and as a computer teacher in a small school, it literally helps me eat and keeps me motivated to continue this kind of work. I will never ask for money in exchange for information, simply a thanks on this post means more than you can imagine. You can also follow me on Twitter for faster updates to things like this.
Thank you and keep on modding!

When I enter the APN Settings screen, nothing is editable. I can't add another APN. Any ideaa?

I cant select the new apn

Same issue
APN setting all greyed out unable to revert to default or add new APN. Any work around?

if you have had your phone for more than 60 days with sprint call them and ask for them to unlock your phone.. after that it wont be greyed out any more
im having a different issue..i followed the video and the hotspot works but only for a couple of minutes then i start getting the same hotspot error

...

Working good so far, I havent tried an extended period of surfing, but will find out thank you.

The app works on "Oreo" and does not work on "P" if it doesn't work for you it might be because you took the update to P, you can always downgrade to Oreo if you really need this

Do you have to give them a reason you want it unlocked?

This works on unrooted.
Nicklegandhi, are you rooted?

Unlocked 512GB Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on Sprint
VoLTE and Hotspot worked on My Note 9 before Updating to Pie.
My Note 8 & 9 are Both Unlocked and never was on Any Lease or Payments. I bought them outright from Bestbuy.
Attached is the Picture as you can see, the Settings are Greyed Out, but I Can Add a New APN.
Are the APN Settings Exactly the same for the Note 8 & Note 9 in order to re-enable Both VoLTE and Hotspot?

You can do the following steps to change the APN (taken from @that.chris from the old thread on Oreo):
Dial ##3282#
Select Edit
Sprint MSL is 000000
Go to APN Settings
Add new APN, exactly like the current one but with dun this time (like in the video)
Choose new APN

Can You Please take a Long Screenshot of the APN Setting and What to put in Each Line so it could be done Correctly.
See the Attached Picture. This is Exactly what I See when going to the Settings which I Can't Access, but I Can Add a New APN which can then be Edited.
The Second Picture is What I Can Add and Edit.
Please let Me and Everyone Know what to put on Each Line of the Second Picture.

This is what I have on mine, I tested hotspot through my Windows laptop and it was working great.

That's strange, I also have a U1 on Sprint running CSB3, but if I were you I would just copy the whole thing and add "dun" to the end.

This is what I remember from OnePlus 7 Pro:
Dial *#800#
Tap on "Log Kit"
Tap on "Function Switch"
Enable "VoLTE" Switch
Enable "VoWifi" Switch
Hope that helps!

Edit

Let me share my experience with this too.
I've installed the old OEMLogkit app, because the new app included with the 8 Pro doesn't work.
I've enabled the VoLTE and VoWifi through that, and restarted. The switches were available under both SIM cards' settings, and enabled them, then restarted once again.
Out of curiosity, I followed the tutorial mentioned above, and when I was checking which setting is enabled in the PDC application, I found, that both SIM cards have their own and correct selection enabled.
Sub0 has UK_VoLTE_Vodefone, and Sub1 has Telefonica_UK_Commercial enabled without changing any settings.

I'm not sure what happens but I seem to have 5G with dual SIM,
I'm in France right now so cannot show the 5G indicator in a screenshot if you're wondering, but I have 5G with with Vodafone card in the UK. Will try back when I'm back in the UK later this week

honestly am too scared to mess with the settings , and i tried to translate that page and find a better tutorial but couldnt . am not particularly good with finding the proper settings when it comes to networking stuff .

It's extremely easy to do, just follow the instructions.
This is the original thread here on XDA.
Download the zip from the post above (around 90MB), then install the 2 apks included in the zip, onto your phone.
Open the dialer, then type *#800#
Select EngineerMode
Select OnePlus logkit
Scroll down, click function switch
Turn on VoLTE, click cancel for reboot
Then turn on VoWifi, then click reboot
After reboot, you should have the option available in the settings.
If this works, then you don't need to fiddle with the other programs. It worked for me, because those options were enabled in the PDC program when I checked it, and I didn't have to enable it.
If it doesn't work, then you need to try the program to enable these.

[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.

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

What specifically has to be on to get native video calling? Got RCS using this method from another post, but video calling still uses duo.

If you see below RCS there is a section titled MMTEL
MMTEL - Suboptions of MMTEL are
VoLTE
VoLTE-Video
VoLTE-Call-Composer
SMS over IP
Supplementary Services
Called Dial Third Party Number
I have swited on all the options but for Video you mainly need VoLTE, VoLTE-Video and VoLTE-Call-Composer to be toggled on.
Also this site is further compressing the pictures hence you guys cant see. when i get time i will upload to some pic sharing site.

I have an unlocked phone from EE in UK and this doesn't work for me

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 don't have the option to make a regular video call. After I place a voice call, the native video call button appears on the dialer screen with the active call, but it's greyed out.

The other person needs to have that option too (Why not just call me), JK sorry dont know how to help you here. if you know someone who got S8, S9, S10, S20, Note 8, 9, 10 or 20 phones directly from TMobile call them and since they would already have it yours wont be grayed out anymore.

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.
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.

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.
