I have a non-EE S5 and have been trying to find out how to enable Wifi Calling. On this tread it describes editing system/csc/others.xml and adding
Code:
<CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>TRUE</CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>
I have found people reporting this works. So, I'm assuming the same process will work on the S5, but I don't want to root, so I was thinking of using an updater-script to replace the others.xml file with one that contains the new line.
Does anyone know if this will trip the Knox flag - which is the reason I don't want to root!
What do people think about this working?
If I get a definite answer about Knox, I will give it a go and post my experiences/details, along with full instructions/files if it works!
Thanks
I edited my others.xml file but no change.
I think it has also to do with the installed csc, maybe. Also there has to be some communication integrity with the operator in this feature, this could be probably why the operator given locked phone works. Phone should know where & to whom it should remain connected while on wifi only.
Samsung Galaxy S5 DUOS LTE (SM-G900FD).
ROM: G900FDU1BOC1, Android 5.0.
Tried it on my Galaxy Note 4 and I can't see the option anywhere so not working for me
Same problem
I have 900F BOC7 BTU stock firmware (as its the only one i could flash after a hidden.img.ext4 fail issue) and i'm also looking to get firmware that enables wifi calling. I tried calling EE customer services to see if i could blag an update but if you havent bought your phone from them you're screwed. However, they did enable the wifi calling option from their screen so you do need to call them to do this from their end.
Anyone know how to add the wifi calling option ?
Thanks.

How? Sorry,not that technical!
Hi All,
I've got terrible signal where I'm living at the moment so I'd really benefit from getting the wireless calling through the EE firmware.
I've downloaded the firmware file but I'm a bit stuck. The firmware file itself has extracted to five separate files:
AP...
BL..
CP...
CSC...
HOME_CSC...
I'm assuming that I've got to select all of these within Odin, however I'm unsure of the difference between the two CSC files. Both seem very similar in file size.
Does anybody know the difference and which one would be the correct one to flash?
Cheers
What was the format of the file you extracted those from?

It was a zip file from sammobile:

Version Android 6.0.1
Changelist 110166628

CSC G935FEVR1APB4
How do you tell what is on the phone mine said it was coming from ee but then it said it was coming from the company I used which was buymobiles.net so I don't know if I have a proper ee one or a sim free I guess so might flash software once you work it out
You've probably got an unbranded one like me. It's usually pretty obvious when booting up whether it's carrier branded or not.
Think I'll wait for now until somebody can confirm the difference. I'd like to know what it is that I'm flashing
Yeah I think I am unbranded I do have the wireless option and it is on my package I called to check might turn it on it says it can take 24 hours to turn it on.
I've got no option for wifi calling in my settings. Boo! ;-(
Mine is settings, applications, phone then wifi calling at the bottom why would I have it and you don't my phone is not from ee weird
I have the option and my handset came from EE but appears to be unbranded.
Perhaps the branding isn't as obvious on the s7 then. I definitely don't have the option in there
My CSC is XEU with the firmware on my phone

OK so for anyone thinking of doing the same, I have gone ahead and flashed the firmware and enabled WiFi Calling.
I selected all files in Odin with the exception of "HOME_CSC" (I used the standard CSC_EVR).
After enabling the option in Settings -> Applications -> Phone, I text WiFi Calling to 150.
As I'm in an area with crap signal I can already see the WiFi calling symbol in the nav bar and have made a few calls with it. All seems well.
Some very subtle changes in the EE firmware but very close to the stock in terms of branding.
@mmotti The EVR firmware on Sam Mobile is shown as G935FXXU1APB9 is that the one you flashed that enabled wifi calling on EE? Thanks.

OK good luck - Mine has been working fine. Battery life seems significantly reduced with WiFi calling enabled though but not sure if that's just me.

Flash the CSC file that contains a PIT file in it, The firmware on Sammobile has a CSC file called "CSC_EVR_G935FEVR1APB4_CL7211170_QB8683672_REV00_user_low_ship.tar" and that's the one you need to flash, otherwise Odin just get stuck if you flash the "HOME_CSC_EVR_G935FEVR1APB4_CL7211170_QB8683672_REV00_user_low_ship.tar"
I bought my phone from the Samsung store, and flashed the EE firmware, it will wipe the device(or did for me anyway). but now I have WIFI calling and working perfectly, only issue with using the EE firmware is that firmware/security updates are super slow :crying:

I did it and everything is fine. I got WIFI calling that is working and that was my main priority. Doesn't seem to be any downsides compared to the XEU firmware.
Hey everyone.
Thanks guys this is just what I was looking for, im using an EE sim on pay as you go but I have an unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge that I bought online NOT from EE.
1. So If I install this firmware I should be able to use wifi calling and hd voice?
2. Are there any downsides to flashing this firmware?
3. Will this reset any settings in my phone do I loose any information.
Thanks
Thanks for your help
As per thread title.
Unrooted, stock Galaxy S7 Edge with latest available firmware.
Under Settings -> Mobile Networks I have a VoLTE Call switch which is on, and network mode set to Auto (LTE/3G/2G).
Weirdly, when I'm at home which is definitely within a Three 4G coverage area (with, allegedly, support for VoLTE or "4G Super Voice" as they're calling it), if I reboot
the phone, a VoLTE icon appears for a short while in the notification bar and then disappears.
Three's webpage talks about S7 Edge users needing to get an update, but their instructions just direct people to do the standard android check for updates, of which
there don't seem to be any newer ones. So clearly, the phone IS working with their VoLTE support but other than the Icon's brief appearance, there's no way to tell
if it's actually working.
Oddly, friends of mine with S7 Edge's bought around the same time and on EXACTLY the same firmware (build, kernel etc.) don't have that VoLTE option at all.
Any thoughts?

You need to add an IMS APN
Hi
As for VoLTE to work, you need to add an IMS APN, usually as follows:
Name: IMS
APN: ims
Authentication type: None (sometime PAP)
APN type: ims
BR,
xe
Thanks, I gave it a try that but it didn't save, even though I pressed the save button. The new APN I tried adding didn't appear after a reboot either.
Also, the "Three" APN that is currently there isn't editable either unfortunately.
Is there a way to get VOLTE working on AT&T in the US?
I have Three and have VoLTE and I switched from the carrier branded to the unbranded BTU version of the software, unrooted. Maybe you could try that?

Would love to know how.. teach me please sensei
My phone was bought sim Free/unlocked from Carphone.. all I did was stick a Three sim in it...
I have an unlocked S7 edge "BTU" firmware and volte does show on mine when i'm in the office. Not that its any good, no one can hear me when i talk to them, i hear them fine. Your friend may be on the xeu firmware which AFAIK doesn't have volte option (Dont quote me on this!!). I think the signal on this phone is shocking actually, my Z5 premium had much better signal. I'll persevere with the S7 edge though.
Search and download odin.
Go to sam firmware and search for G935f (that's your phones model number.) you'll then get a list of firmwares, scroll to United kingdom and click on the btu firmware. (i tried threes H3G firmware and volte didn't work.) Download and extract the firmware. Downloads are sometimes really slow on there so be patient or search for a faster download. The latest UK firmware is: G935FXXU1APD3
Power down your phone, once off hold volume down, home and power button to get to download mode. When download mode shows, press volume up to agree.
Open odin once the samsung drivers have installed for download mode.
Click BL in odin then select the BL file from your extracted firmware
then Click AP then select the AP file from your extracted firmware
then CP then select the CP file from your extracted firmware
then CSC then select the CSC file from your extracted firmware (NOTE: there's 2 csc files don't select the Home_CSC file)
Odin should say your phone is connected.
THE NEXT STEP WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE!! PLEASE MAKE SURE HAVE BACKED IT UP AND WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKS.
Press Start on ODIN and wait about 10 minutes, you should see a progress bar and then "PASS" once done. Your phone will probably reboot once done.
Good Luck from a fellow 3 user

I'm also on Three and have the S7 Edge and I dont have this option. It could just be embedded in the firmware file.
It was a sim free phoneb that I got from car phone.. what's weird is that four friends also got new skin free phones from Samsung directly, all of the firmware and kernel numbers match but they don't have it. Also, even with the option on mine, VoLTE doesn't really work.
So still no clear idea from anyone about VoLTE support. However I noticed that VoLTE icon appear in the notification bar whenever I'm in an area with no mobile coverage. I can't make a
call mind you, but yeah.. has anyone else who hasn't had VoLTE working on a Sim free S7 Edge, but has the option turned on, seen this? My wife's S7 Edge is also exhibiting the same behaviour.

Hi
You can try to pull out the customer.xml file under the /system/csc folder and edit the APN profile (to add IMS), then write back to the phone. It will work well, but need SU access to do this.

Looks like they've removed this switch in the latest (September) update. The VoLTE icon used to appear briefly in the notification area on first boot but no sign of it now. No real reliable way to test as network coverage is weird where I live so I can only guess at what Samsung have done.
According to someone on the Digital Spy forums, they tested after the update and still had VoLTE functionality even without the switch toggle - so I guess Samsung
have just baked it in now.
I have S7 edge unlocked from Samsung. I was on Tescomobile (O2) and I've just ported to Three. I don't have the Volte option but I do get the Volte logo on the top of the screen from tine to time. At the weekend I was in a no signal area but I had the Volte logo so I tried a couple of calls. On some calls they couldn't hear me though I could hear them. On others it got almost acceptable two way calling. I'm guessing it is working.. just.

What firmware do you have installed and what csc?
Got it working by extracting the csc zip from the latest h3g firmware and flashing it in TWRP. Following this great guide

Sorry keV didn't see your reply. Have you got it sorted with a newer firmware?

I am on Three Austria (No VoLTE support on this network anyway). Just wondering if (since I recently flashed the unbranded UK BTU -full conversion to BTU to get Nougat and BUT OTA's) will VoLTE work on BTU even if there is no button in any settings ? Not in dialer or network settings.
I guess my question is if Three Austria implements VoLTE will I get it on BTU or will I have to flash back to DRE (3 Hutchison Austria) back again?
Some people have said starting from Nougat providers can push the settings to the phone and no custom firmware is needed, no verification of this info though.
The only provider in my country that supports VoLTE (A1) claims NO you need their firmware.
Maybe I can source an A1 sim and test this.
I got a G928G off monoprice and it seems to work fine, M update was waiting when I powered on and everything. We are switching to MetroPCS/T-Mobile but the problem is, we get 1 bar of LTE inside the house and can't make/receive calls. Wi-Fi calling would be the answer but it isn't available in the settings anywhere. I know MetroPCS offers Wi-Fi calling and through searching it appears it is available on other FWs for the GS6E+ but not the stock one for G928G. I would prefer to keep the stock FW but I'm OK w/ rooting if I can get this added. Guessing a new bootloader won't change this so I'm afraid I will need a new ROM but I would at least like it to be a stock Samsung one. Found something about "Aroma" here but not exactly sure how this works.
Can someone point me to one that will work on the G928G and includes Wi-Fi calling? (Also, any recommendations on the best process for rooting/flashing for Samsung would be appreciated - I have rooted a Note 3 in the past and some other devices but not flashed a custom ROM - is this procedure good if I find a stock ROM that supports Wi-Fi calling?
Hi all,
I have just downloaded todays H3G update for the SM-G920F expecting the usual bug fixes and no more functionality and noticed that WIFI calling has been added to both the settings and phone settings menu. Enabled the setting, restarted the phone and voila I get a funky new icon when out of signal and making a call (plus a few bleeps to let me know I am wifi calling).
This helps me out loads, just thought I would share if no one else had updated or noticed yet.
Please note that this is the latest H3G specific firmware.
Hope this helps

Where did you download the firmware from?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA-Developers mobile app
OTA
It was an OTA update as I already had the H3G firmware installed on my previously unbranded S6. Looking at the various firmware download sites such as Sammobile there is a new download available today. I ASSUME that this has the same functions as the OTA but I have not tested it. I have another S6 to update at the weekend so will confirm then.

Nougat H3G Firmware finally available
Me again,
Just in case anyone else wants a 3 UK branded rom installed for WiFi calling and VoltE it is FINALLY available from the usual Sammobile etc sites. Installed, factory reset and all seems to be working fine. Its snappy and has security updated from 1 June.
WiFi calling tested and working, as is 4G super voice (VoltE).
