I'm hoping this is the right place to ask, haven't posted here before, but I'm stumped. I recently upgraded to the LG G6, it's on Bell in Canada. Loving the phone, but having one big issue. When I'm connected to WiFi, I miss calls and texts, it's not consistent but often enough that it's a problem. As soon as I disconnect from WiFi I get any delayed texts and voicemail notifications for any calls I had missed. I'm just running stock, and these are the steps I've tried so far:
-changed sim, nope
-factory reset, nope
-tried sim in another new G6, nope
-turned off VoLTE in call settings, nope
-cannot find a WiFi calling setting or would have disabled as well
-checked with Bell and LG and both say they're unaware of any related issues and advised wait for patch.
Anyone have any other suggestions that may help? I really like the phone, not a Samsung fan and I'll wait for updates if need be, but maybe it's a quick fix in the settings somewhere. *fingers crossed*
Thanks!
WiFi calling setting is in the call option inside your system settings.
Could be your WiFi/router isn't good enough to handle that.
Sounds like a port forwarding issue quite honestly. Probably a Wi-Fi router issue more than the phone issue.

I don't have a WiFi calling option in my call settings, it should be directly under the volte toggle I thought, but can't find it anywhere. And happens on multiple WiFi networks. My home network itself is getting about 50mps download speed when I run speed test on my phone on WiFi.

That's very strange that you don't have a WiFi calling option. Is WiFi calling a region specific feature as well??
If I'm not mistaken, I think it's carrier and device specific. I checked through my Bell plan and I don't see it listed as a feature, but I know the G6 supports it. But I checked everywhere and can't find anything pertaining to it. Odd.

Maybe that is the issue. Perhaps the LG Software is trying to accept calls and texts through the WiFi signal but something that your carrier has done with the blocking off WiFi calling on their end is causing the bug. I'm not too savy with the way Android and it's coding works.
VoWiFi is carrier specific feature. though LG G6 supports it , carrier can disable the feature as you bought phone from him. you can go to hidden menu (277634#*# or *#546368#*872# , here 872 is the phone model , replace it with yours) and turn off VoWiFi.
I post here directed how to get some info about our phones by dialing *#*#4636#*#*. Being curious, i found this link to do more:
http://mobilespecs.net/phone/codes/Motorola/Motorola_Moto_X_Pure_Edition_2015.html
CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some seem pretty dangerous so use at your own risk. At worst, I guess they could brick your phone but I am reasonably sure will not launch any nukes.
Enjoy, or not.
Specifically, I read about turning on WiFi Calling which I thought was not possible on my VZW MXP. A Magisk module, "VoEnabler", says it will turn it on and seems to do so. Causing concern was that VoLTE settings were now gone. The code at the top presents a menu of info one of which showed VoLTE was still provisioned. Makes me think Magisk module, "VoEnabler", is dual purpose. Turns on both VoLTE and WiFi Calling?

Not really a secret and many listed are extremely dated (early 2000's) generic codes or carrier specific... if you went down the list I bet you would find 75% of them don't do anything. There are some apps in the play store that do similar things but from a menu (it invokes the system application the code is used for), one that comes to mind is called Hidden Menus but I am sure there are others.
I've been reading around and I know there is a small, but growing, group of users that are finally getting to utilize their dual sim function on their TMO variants. I've finally managed to get everything working on mine, but noticed one thing that does not seem to work. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I toggle the 'switch data card' in the notifications pull down from sim 1 (TMO) to sim 2 (VZW) I suddenly have no network connection.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Is there another step I'm missing or is this supposed to happen?
I'm currently running the most recent 9.0.6 update.

Might be ur carrier but mine switches there is a moment where it does take a second to switch the data but it’s pretty seemless

@djkinetic Thanks for your response. I checked my VZW settings and found that there was nothing listed under its APN. As soon I reset it to default APN, everything was working fine.
@MODERATORS: this question can be closed. Thank you.
Sorry. Wrong thread.
Hi, I've seen where some users have reported success getting VoLTE to work on the OP 6 on AT&T, but I have not had the same success in the OP 6T. I followed the same steps and enabled it on the phone, which now shows that it should use VoLTE when available. I have also spent many (painful) hours in the phone with AT&T trying to resolve this issue, all without success. Has anyone else been able to get this to work, and confirmed that LTE data is still presented when in a call?
Thanks in advance!
I have the McLaren version and with TMobile and I can confirm that it is using VoLTE see picture below.
"technically" I'm using at&t, but it's a tracfone sim via Straight Talk. I enabled it for both VoLTE & VoWifi, and the LTE one took off but the wifi version did not.
I DID notice the difference in call quality. Much better audio response.
Yeah. I'm on AT&T and I got VoLTE working. I just made a call and did a speed test while on the call. Everything indicated it was still on LTE.

I had issues with VoLTE when I first got phone. Read my post from another thread. Basically had to wait for AT&T to get my line provisioned correctly. Don't know exactly what needed to be changed/activated.
sharksfan7 said:
I got my 6T on Friday. Used @crowsnestitsupport's instructions for the *#800# trick to get the VoLTE & WiFi calling settings to show. Popped in my sim. Had LTE data but didn't get VoLTE & couldn't get AT&T's VVM app to activate. Called support, ended up giving them my IMEI and not surprisingly it came up as Unknown Device. Guy basically said until the system can recognize the device there was nothing he could do to get VoLTE & VVM working. However after I got off the phone, I quickly realized I no longer had any mobile data at all. Called back, spoke to another rep, and she tried for an hour to get my data back. She wasn't able to. She had to escalate the issue and said it could take 24 hours or more to resolve. I figured out that if I changed APN from ATT Nextgenphone to ATT Phone I could at least have some mobile data, albeit only 3G. Wasn't until Sunday afternoon that LTE came back online including VoLTE. I don't know what had to change to get it all working. Just glad that it is now. Still no WiFi calling but I don't expect to get that.

It's well documented that that doesn't work, doesn't change anything. I spent two years with the OP5 and 5t trying to get them to enable VOLTE, in about 12 different ways and it never worked. Either you were on WIFI or just really, really special.

Yeah, OK. Whatever you say.
@nictabor Disregard everything I said. Gerry says it doesn't work. All the indicators on my phone that show VoLTE working must be wrong.

You can search the bazillion threads on this exact topic that already exist in all of the OP forums if you want. Just telling you my experience and summarizing the other threads. Glad yours works though.

I appreciate the feedback, just wish I could get it working on mine. As much as I hate the experience, I'm thinking it might just be worth going to the AT&T store just to get them to use my SIM in one of their devices just to get VoLTE working on the line (and/or verify it works on one of their with it already activated)

So, I can now confirm that VoLTE works on the 6T. Basically, the system requires HDVoice to get VoLTE working. The solution? I bought a $25 AT&T Prepaid junk phone and enabled HDVoice and WiFi calling on my SIM. After that, I switched the SIM back in to my 6T and it is now working.

Then why didn't you call AT&T to enable both features directly?

I did, numerous times. They submitted my IMEI to enable the features, and I was told that everything was set up correctly. Upon their recommendation, I went as far as sending my brand new 6T back and buying another one. It didn't matter how many people I talked to, it didn't work until after I used the junk phone to first get it working on the line.

I can make VoLTE or vowifi calls with my sim on other device, but once I switch to 6T, none of features works.

When I first swapped it worked and then stopped. I had to put the SIM back in the AT&T phone and again enabled VoWiFi. I then pulled the battery, turned on the 6T, and inserted the SIM. It's been working on the 6T since.
Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone found out exactly what to do to get this working?
VoLTE was working perfectly on my 3T, albeit the only way to make the switches appear was with the VoEnabler module in Magisk.. but once they appeared, all I had to do was turn it on, and VoLTE was up and running. I tried the same thing on this phone after putting my SIM in, directly from the 3T; it worked for a few minutes, then the status bar icon disappeared and calls drop my connection to 3G, then go back to LTE once the call is over.. so clearly it has turned itself can off.
I then put my SIM card into my wife's At&t branded Galaxy s9, and after a few minutes VoLTE was working, using my SIM in her phone. I popped my SIM back into my phone, VoLTE was back working... Except, just as before, after a few minutes it stopped.
One thing I've noticed, while working correctly, under the IMS Service Status menu selection in the *#*#4636#*#* dialer menu -> Phone Information, it shows IMS Registration: Registered. Voice over LTE: available... But once it stops working, it says not registered, and unavailable respectively...
Since there are apparently people who seem to have it working, what am I not doing?
Could it be that the phone I put my SIM card into, is currently in use by someone else; someone else who also is provisioned for VoLTE? But what would be the reason it decided to stop working on my 6T and not my 3T? I used the same procedure to trigger VoLTE working on my 3T, and it never stopped working as it is doing on my 6T.
We work opposite shifts, and I used my few minutes we see each other a day to put my SIM in her phone then back into my 6T, I didn't put it in my 3T, which I will do next time I see her.. just to see if the 3T will hold onto VoLTE; that way I'll know for sure if it's something the 6T is doing differently than my 3T, or if I just got lucky before...
Any input or suggestions are welcome..
Edit:
Called AT&T customer service, put my SIM in the S9 and said I was unable to activate either WiFi calling or HD Voice, yet my wife's SIM in the same phone works.. they said that for some reason, my SIM was apparently attached to a non at&t Galaxy s9, she changed the IMEI associated with my SIM card and it's all good now.
With AT&T, If i enable VoLTE, i did not see the "HD" icon when making call. If i disable VoLTE, i see the the "HD" icon. Why is it backward?

Opposite for me... The HD icon only appears when I have VoLTE on, as shown.. perhaps something to do with using 2 SIM cards?
I got volte and vowifi enabled and only problem is that i cant see the volte icon on status bar.
Hey guys!
My dad was recently given a Galaxy A20 (technically it's an A20e, but since my question is regarding software, I doubt that it makes any difference) at his workplace, and he wants to transfer his own SIM into this new phone, but only if there is a way to sort of "turn off" his work SIM after work hours (so for example only receive calls and texts from 6am to 3pm).
I've dug around in the settings, especially for Notifications and Sim card manager, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Did I miss something extremely obvious, or is there no way (without using 3rd party apps) to achieve what we're going for?
Thank you!
My A20 is not dual sim so I cant help you.
Someone else might know

Settings didn't have an option for which sim to use? That's strange, every dual sim phone I've seen had this option. Look under connections.

I can kinda turn one SIM fully on or off, but I'm looking for a way to automate it.
My a20 is not dual sim one but you can try routines app from samsung nice lock it can automate nearly everything you should check it
