yes it does
Do you have evidence of that? It has to be certified by T-Mobile so this would surprise me
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
It supports band 12 and does support VoLte* however the firmware does not have it enabled yet. That update along with a few other features will be in the next release roughly around January.
T-Mobile is certifying it?

Were you able to successfully use MMS? I've been trying every setting I can find online without success
Also, visual voicemail doesn't seem to work on T-Mobile with the unlocked Lumia 950 XL.

well tmobile's answer when i inquired about using the phone before i bought it was "it will work and get full lte speeds." when i asked about wifi calling they said they have phones available that that feature will work on. so i understood that their voice over ip will not work
Anyone have feedback on this

Visual voicemail can be done using ISeeVM app for YouMail
I haven't been successful in getting MMS yet.

I FINALLY got MMS working on my T-Mobile account. I set all the settings up the way that T-Mobile says to on their website but I could only get normal SMS not MMS or group texting to function. Because of all the reports of it working and I couldn't get mine to work I finally just did a master reset and THAT DID IT. I guess the problem all along was the restore I did. When I first got the phone and did the setup I did the restore from a previous install which was a Lumia 925 running Windows Phone 8.1 and I would suspect that it doesn't transfer properly because when I reset the phone and started from scratch all my MMS settings worked immediately as well as the LTE data.

I had the same problem as you with my MMS not working. I finally did a master reset back to factory and DO NOT restore from a previous build. Good luck.
MMS, no problem, VoLTE, Wifi Calling, another story...
I got MMS to work by simply adding the appropriate MMS APN, grabbed from the T-Mobile site.
IMS is another story though, they're not provisioning it for VoLTE and the rest, because they haven't done the testing yet. It would appear (hearsay from reading various forums) that this is a bit of showdown between MS and TMo, in terms of who's going to do the work.
In the meantime, all the standard stuff works, but it sure would be nice to have WiFi Calling, I spend a fair amount of my weekends in places with no coverage, but good WiFi.
Hopefully someone will decide it's best for the "customer" if these just work, since the firmware is already enabled, it's a bit annoying to be able to purchase the phone, with all the features advertised, but not being able to get a single carrier that supports them (at least in the US, I think there's 1-2 in EU).

So according to this CNET article Verizon network certification is not complete.
That is a problem for me. If it doesn't get Verizon certification, it is of no use to me.
https://www.cnet.com/news/essential-phone-ships-after-two-missed-ship-dates/#
Got this from their support today:
Thank you for your question. We expect to receive Verizon certification soon. Though it is not certified by Verizon, it does work on the their network. You will need to make sure you are using a NFC nano SIM for full functionality. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Emily

I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Note 2 on Verizon right now and it works fine. I have VoLTE. No Wifi calling though. I'm 99.9% sure Verizon never certified this phone.
What I should have said, is that if it doesn't work right out of the box, it's no use to me.
When I got my Nexus 6P you had to jump through a few hoops because you couldn't get a SIM card.
You had to have an existing active phone.
is it really an issue though? just swap the sim from your phone into that one and it will work. only issue comes from if you don't already have a phone with a nano sim or can't use a buddies phone to help. yes hoops like that suck but it had to be expected that verizon would take way longer than everyone else.

Only if it doesn't work when I drop in the SIM.
I have a Nexus 6P and I've been through the whole thing about phones not being certified.
Sometimes, though, not being certified, also means not working.

It's actually really good. I was running Resurrection Remix on it so pretty much stick with some tweaks. I get all the LTE bands on Verizon and have VoLTE. I get good data speeds. The battery is really good. Overall it's a nice phone. It's just hard to go back to bezels after having a Mix, a G6 and an S8+. This was just supposed to be a serviceable phone to hold me over while I waited on one of the current crop and it's done its job well.
I got my phone on Friday and used it fine right away. Today Verizon service stopped. Put my SIM back in my Pixel and everything is fine. Switched twice, no Essential, Pixel fine. Anyone else have a similar issue?

Try factory resetting without the Sim in then install sim and factory reset again. It's how I got the axon 7 to run perfect on Verizon. No need to change settings or anything.

I had a similar issue the other day. It just suddenly started working again an hour after I factory reset. I would say don't touch the network settings or use the 4636 menu. That's when I started to have issues.

Enhanced 4G LTE Mode works.
just lost my verizon service on this phone within the last hour or two. sim works fine with the pixel xl.... not good
update: factory reset worked, but still not happy. they better get certification soon from verizon
So I was hoping to switch to Verizon from Sprint after I got this phone. I guess I have to wait for certification since I don't have a Verizon sim?

If HD voice is working on the beta is WiFi calling working as well?

I have that but when I make a call it switches to H+
I installed the beta, and that option was automatically selected.
Yep. Just tried turning on LTE only and I cannot make a phone call. So option is there, but not working at present.
Anybody know how to enable WiFi calling on this phone, or does ATT block any phone not approved and sold through them?
works for me when i make a call, LTE stays on
I just chatted with At&t. They told me that both my pixel 2xl and my wife's pixel are compatible for HD Voice and Enhanced Messaging. They told me to wait 2 hours and reboot. I'll update this post with the results
How did you get VoLTE turned on?
Edit: Realized there must not be a switch. Also decided to not be a dummy and actually read the first page of posts. LTE stays on for me when calling now.
Now if we could get enhanced messaging (10 mb limit) and wifi calling/texting, we'd be onto something

So after 11 hours still no features. I contacted At&t and am now being told that the original Pixel XL is not compatible. The new Pixel 2XL may be but I will have to be approved. I provided my IMEI to the rep and they are supposed to email me back within 72 hours. I also provided her an ad I found from At&t encouraging people to bring their new Pixels to At&t. I provided some screen shots below for you guys

Yup. I highly doubt this will go anywhere. Even if the pixel 2 has the capabilities, AT&T wants people to lease phones from them with their branding, period. I got an S8 through the Next program at launch (April) and VoLTE worked no problem. Before that I brought my own unlocked devices, Nexus 5, 6, and 6p. None of them ever were able to use advanced features.

Yep. It would be a clear departure from their current position that only AT&T branded devices get these advanced features.
One can hope though.
Just had a chat with AT&T. You do need to contact them and give them your IMEI to get VoLTE working. Mine now works.
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?

So you're saying that after the ADB command was set, and you're in an area that legitimately has 0 cell service (not just very low/nearly unusable)? Screenshot of this, please?

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.

I just bought a Verizon Pixel 2 XL and Volte doesn't work. I'm on 8.1.0 February security patch. I thought that the Verizon Pixel was exactly the same as the Google Store version, other than the locked bootloader. Does anyone know how to get this working? I've already called At&t twice, and they say it should be working.

Is advanced calling enabled in settings/Network &internet/Mobil network/advanced. ??
If yes, then look at the link 2 posts above yours.
I noticed after the last update (not the oreo update) my HD voice was not working. So I went to settings to figure out the issue and noticed my option to enable it is now greyed out. I tried installing the Oreo update and it's still greyed out. Anyone else with sprint have this issue?
Also I know it may have been asked several times before. But is VoLTE not available on the essential phone? There is an option to use LTE to enhance voice but that doesn't give me VoLTE.

its not VoLTE, its HD voice using 1x advanced. VoLTE should come when the network is densified enough to handle it but the only difference is data while calling from what i gathered and some higher quality than the current HD voice
