I rooted my S7 edge, voLTE was perfectly working. But now when I flashed the stock firmware via odin, voLTE no longer works. Please help
Don't know what network your on but here in the UK I think Three are the only network with Volte and it wont work on mine because they said it has to be a Three branded handset............................for now at least, you flashing the handset may be a similar situation

I tried three out for a month and volte worked for me with an unbranded s7 edge duos, trouble is the network signal was awful at home and even though they have the wifi calling app, it doesn't work on a dual sim phone so I left and am now with EE. volte doesn't work on EE with unbranded phone, but I'm 100% sure it works on Three. You have to enable it on your phone though.
It was Three who told me this when I asked why my S7 Edge doesn't work with Volte

OK Mine just worked, it was added to the latest OTA update I received. Don't even get the option for switching on volte now I'm on EE.

As far as I'm aware, verizon doesn't allow mvno carriers to use their advanced calling through ST or Tracfone

Yes it does. It also says searching for signal whenever I reset my phone. It has internet but I can't receive text or calls until I make an outgoing call then it switches from searching for service to Verizon service. I wonder if it had anything to do with ims registration? (Says it's off )

But using straight talk i was already on Verizon service (that's who they use in this area) of I flashed Verizon firmware I'm showing official device shouldn't I be able to activate the features? I swear I saw a post a month or two ago a guy flashed to Verizon from unlocked device and was able to do ota updates (which I can't i have to plug into laptop) and had activated Wi-Fi and video calling. I'm not sure if he rooted or not but I've been trying find post for about two weeks can't find it anymore. But any help or recommendations are appreciated. I haven't rooted but been thinking about it. If you could recommend a link would be greatly appreciated.

Straight Talk /Tracfone does not block the service provided by Verizon. My new Galaxy S8 G950U Settings/ Advanced Calling /Activate, is a Verizon app that controls access. Without vzw service you can't activate.
Has anyone found a fix to enable activation? Hoping root comes through on this.
Note: ST after 4 calls to customer service said there is nothing they can do.

Is there any setting to turn on mobile data usage during calls? Samsung Galaxy S8 G950U. This worked in S5 w/ST but S8 is not.

I had it working with an att sim in a tmo note 4. So I imagine you may be able to use an att or tmo fw and corresponding sim
I was wondering if there is a way to get VoLTE working on a factory unlocked S8 that is using a AT&T Straight Talk SIM card. Right now when I make a call, the data goes to 'H'.
Anybody?
I'm not sure if it's possible but have you tried carrier switch your unlocked S8 to AT&T firmware. That's the only way I could get it to work on my unlocked S8 but I do have AT&T though as a carrier
How did you get it to work on att? I am on att as well and it does not appear to be working after carrier switching my unlocked S8 to att branded also wi-fi calling does not work.

It worked for me the first time but then the second time I went back to the Oreo beta they went back to AT&T I was only getting H after that when I was calling so I had to borrow my wife's phone IMEI and they provisioned it and it worked again
so how exactly do i go about doing that? I assume this involves calling att or going into a store and giving them the imei from another phone? Does the imei you use have to NOT be already used or can it be in use by 2 phones at the same time? Also so far we have not even told att about this phone we have just moved the sim card so wouldn't they still have the imei of the old phone or do they pull that automatically OTA? If they do pull it automatically then whats preventing it from getting updated again?
Is it possible to get volte working on Unlocked Firmware S8+ with straight talk at&t
I've got a att s8+ phone as well as a tracphone s8+ which are both on the unlocked firmware and upgraded to the oreo latest beta. I'd like to get volte working but not sure if it's possible.
Thanks!
Actually may have found a work around to make it work myself and this may help others.
I was able to put in a T Mobile Sim which rebooted the phone and added whatever settings. Then once it was booted, I put the straight talk sim back in. The volte menu option was not under mobile settings prior. If you click volte off, it will disapear. If you leave it alone, it keeps it activated. I turned off the phone and on and confirmed, it retains it. Called a friend who I know has volte and you can tell the connection is volte. It appears atleast to me that the sim turns on the option and the straight talk sim alone does not support lte but the network does.
Good info, thank you.
Hey there, I've been doing a bit of research but it has been a long while since i have done any flashing of firmware etc. I received my s10+ device today. Model number is SM-G975UZKAXAA. I am a Verizon wireless customer. When I placed this device on my account I noticed I have no access to Voice over LTE, and I also do not have any access to Wifi Calling. My question is the following. I read somewhere a couple of weeks ago that if I wanted something like this I would need to flash the original VZW Firmware which would have all the lovely bloatware etc on the device. Is there any way I can do that? I have seen firmware that has been posted but I dont seem to see anything that specifically is the VZW apps etc which should (hopefully allow VOLTE and Wifi Calling and maybe even HD Calling, if thats a thing)
I would appreciate any info anyone can provide me on this, as the only solution I can see at the moment is to return the device and start over with a VZW specific device.
Cheers~
Likewise but with a T-Mobile firmware for me
Unlocked US version here with Verizon and wifi calling and volte working out of the box.
You may want to call Verizon to see if they need to provision it for your account.

Hey guys, just wanted to check in with you (or anyone else who has wifi calling on unlocked Verizon). It is 100% working? It's the only reason I got the carrier version. Should I cancel and order the unlocked?

Yes, it works with my unlocked S10+ on Verizon. It surprised the heck out of me as I too have the unlocked Note9, but no wifi calling.
What about on AT&T? Can anyone say if they can at least get VOLTE? WiFi calling would be the icing on the cake. Thank you

Wifi calling worked on my unlocked S10 out of the box on T-Mobile. I'll try and check on VoLTE later but I get **** reception near work.
Can you explain how you enabled WiFi calling on unlocked version, on Verizon? I can't find a way to do it. What about HD Voice? My real problem is that data does not work while on a call, using my unlocked, on Verizon. Is there a way to get that working?
I have unlocked S10+ on VZW. I get LTE+ which is VoLTE, data works while on a call.

I don't think that is right. LTE+ and VoLTE are different things. As well as data while on a call.
VoLTE means your call is being transmitted over LTE. I'm pretty sure you can use data while on a call WITHOUT VoLTE.

How do you test if VoLTE is working? Do you get an Icon for it?
I tested WiFi calling by going into airplane mode, turning Wifi on, and making a call and it worked. But didn't get a special icon for it.
For those basing your decision to buy unlocked/international vs branded, be warned. I can only speak for Att, but I spent about 2 hours arguing with their level 2 tech department and here's what I have learned. If you have a sim that is provisioned on a branded phone and then put the sim into an unlocked/international phone, you will be able to use volte, wi-fi calling, etc., but only until the carrier pings your imei for a periodical check, once that happens, those features disappear. Also, on Android Pie, the Enhanced LTE Services tab under Mobile Data has been removed as it is turned on by default, also confirmed with ATT. The only way to manually check is to toggle wifi calling on and see if it works. Anyway, just trying to help as I have gone to a branded phone for the first time in 6 years because the reception and enhanced features are more important than rooting to me.
I was able to get wifi and volte working on my unlocked s10 by putting sim into verizon phone, letting network recognize it, enabling advanced calling and such on that device and then taking the sim out and putting it back in my new unlocked s10. The option for volte appears in settings-connections-mobile networks.
VoLTE works on tmobile, not that anyone should be surprised. That has been the case for the S8 thru N9. Now... I noticed that Samsung removed the VoLTE toggle from settings.

Correct, no VoLTE setting on my unlocked S10e, but it is on by default it seems

Using what I learned in this thread, I called Verizon and talked to Level2 support. They tried to get everything working and could not - but this was when I had the new SIM installed, provided by Samsung when I got my S10+.
So because others here spoke of their 'other' SIM, I suggested we try that - so I plugged in the SIM from my S8 and asked them to reprovision everything. They did... and....Now everything that didn't work ... WORKS.
So I have an Unlocked S10+ on Verizon that has (among other things):
- Wifi Calling
- Real Time Text
- VoLTE ("HD Voice") (Which means data now works while I'm on a phone call)
- Visual Voicemail
So it seems the Samsung SIM was part of the problem, and they are reporting this to Samsung. The tech support person told me others have reported similar issues and they will get with Samsung to figure out what the issue is.
Hopefully this helps some others as well!
