Is there a way to enable HD Voice (WB-AMR) on the Nexus 5? For some weird reason, the Galaxy Nexus is supported by Rogers for HD Voice but not the Nexus 5.
Some people here have figured out how to enable it on the Galaxy S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2287992
But I can't figure out how to access the service menu on the Nexus 5 on 4.4.2... Or maybe it is already enabled but I can't check it?
Anyone who can figure this out will be the star of XDA's Nexus 5 forum!

it works fine on tmobile. its obvious when its connected, and sounds wonderful. theres no service menu, its just enabled.
It works out of the box on Tmobile. As the previous guy said, it's really obvious if it works.
I'm surprised on T-Mobile's End I had a full size sim from my Nexus s cut it into a micro sim and i was surprised to see LTE on an OLD sim card also HD voice does sound amazing its like landline quality but sounds better! but when it drops to EDGE or GPRS it sounds like [email protected] but oh well i got HSPA everywhere.
HD-Voice is bounds better than landline...i've only had it work between my mom's windows phone and my N5 on tmobile...at&t sounds like crap, all the other phones sound like crap too. I hope at&t enables it soon so I can actually understand my girlfriend better.
Works out of box here on Bell. You have to be talking to other people with HD voice enabled phones. Whenever I phone my brother on his HTC One it sounds amazing..it puts land lines to shame.
I think it needs to be support also via your carrier... but I think most of the carriers have them enabled...

Not in the US. Tmobile is the only one that has it. ATT is coming this year or sometime soon.

But there must be a service menu to figure out if AMR-WB is activated or not? For example, the S4 has HD Voice capability but people have figured out how to activate it in the service menu.

Does AMR-WB only work when LTE is activated? I get frequent call drops on my Nexus 5 and some people have gotten relief when they disable LTE and switch to 3G.

It is quite bizarre that on Rogers/Fido, Canada's largest network, they say that only certain phones support HD Voice. The Galaxy Nexus is supported but the Nexus 4 and 5 or not supported! I even called and asked!

Rogers/Fido offers HD Voice but I think that they have to add support on a individual device basis. It supports the Galaxy Nexus, but not the Nexus 4 or 5!
This is why I believe that there has got to be a way to access the Service menu on the Nexus 5 and activate AMR-WB support. People can do it on the S4!

That's weird. Clearly it does work on this phone on other carriers. Then again it is Rogers we're talking about, so I'm not surprised.

I want to know how to access the service menu to check if AMR-WB is on or not. Some test calls I've made (EE - UK) don't sound like it's working properly.

All solutions involving *#0011# and *#197328640# don't work. No idea what to do now :/
I was making some calls today, where I had LTE. The expected behaviour would be that the device switches to 3G for voice calls, but it seems to me like my N5 is using 2G. So it seems that despite being on a network which i know has working HD Voice, the Nexus 5 doesn't work. Bummer.
A lot of people claimed that HD voice is working for nexus 5. In my it did not (and my carrier supports this feature). Now, when android 5.1 released, there is an item in change log - provide support for HD voice. So no idea how this worked before, but will check it on 5.1 and hope it will work.

For me it is not working (despite carrier says it should). I am on 5.1 - same result.
I have OnePlus phone and HD Voice is working perfect - seems that it is phone or carrier issue.

I know the nexus 5 on T-Mobile does not have the WiFi calling feature. I don't know if that is due to lack of hardware or software. With that, I was wondering if it was possible being rooted by means of a ROM or kernel or some sort of mod?
If so, could you kindly point me in the direction of it?
Thank you,

there's alot of stuff that tmobile has to add to the phone for it to be able to work. some framework, APIs, and special RIL.
its not possible since none of this information is known.

I just purchased my N5 from T-mo last month here in the states. One of the features that sold me on it was the ability for it to do calls over wifi. I have tested it as I was in Canada and when calling my v-mail it did not recognise my caller-id so it prompted me for a password. So long story short, it should be able to call over WiFi natively.
This is just my $0.02
It can't

the nexus 5 doesnt have the software nor, very importantly, tmobiles framework for wifi calling to work. the great thing about owning nexus devices is that carriers do not have access to them to install all their carrier crap on them, wifi calling being one of those. its not as simple as just installing an app to have it work. it needs tmobiles framework built into it as well.
Hi, I have a Verizon Edge that I am using on T-Mobile, I am getting LTE and everything but every time I receive or make calls my data stops working, any help to resolve this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

T-Mobile uses VoLTE (voice over) and it must be supported by software in its phones, if it isnt, it will switch to 4G (H/H+). Does the VZW NE support H/H+?

Yup, even though Verizon LTE phones are unlocked out of the box they are not smooth sailing most of the time. They mess with them somehow to make some things inconvenient. You'll have to search around for the solution by people in the same boat as you. That's what I had to do when I was using the Droid Maxx on T-Mobile.

My advice to you would be to not limit yourself to searching only those with a note edge but instead expand your search to anyone using a Verizon LTE phone on t-mobile. It is usually something similar that is causing the problem therefore something similar that will resolve it.

The Note Edge only has 1 antenna and on Verizon phones you have to install and subscribe to Advanced calling in order to get simultaneous voice and data. And since Verizon's VoLTE requires Band 13 I believe, you are most likely going to be out of luck.
I know this is not officially supported, but does anyone know if this will work with a Verizon SIM? I know in the past, CDMA radios were required for Calls and Texts, but with VoLTE, shouldn't CDMA be unnecessary at this point? Can someone try throwing a Verizon SIM in it and see if it will work. I'm trying to find a Note 7 replacement here. The rest of the Verizon phones SUCK.
I'm really wondering about this too. I'd jump from my S7 Edge to this if it could really work. lol
Oh yeah, if any of you Xperia XZ owners could be so helpful in using this tool from the Verizon website: https://www.verizonwireless.com/bring-your-own-device/. I think this would help see if we could use the XZ on Verizon network. If any of you guys do it, can you post screenshots (blacking out any private info if you may), I'd really appreciate it!
Verizon uses CDMA which Xperia phones so not support. They only do GSM. I suspect a Verizon sim card would not find coverage in an XZ.

But there is LTE support. If you have an XZ in your possession, can you try using the tool in the link I provided to see if it works?
To be able to use VoLTE, you will need to enable HD Voice or Advanced HD feature for your line and also the person you call has to have to same feature enabled. Both callers need to be in LTE coverage areas for VoLTE works.
So it isn't always working for you if you don't have CDMA capable phones.

All voice calls still go through the CDMA network UNLESS, you are on Verizon and have HD voice enabled on your phone. I
know, Verizon is still using 800 CDMA in almost every cell site. This this is so VZ customers can call other carriers..
This became very apparent a few months ago when Verizon had a CDMA network outage on the west coast and we could only call people with in Verizon that had HD Voice, no one else.
If the XZ does not support CDMA (can someone confirm?) that would mean NO "Cell Network " phone calls. Data should work fine if the XZ supports LTE 700 c, 1700 f, 1900
Kinda getting tired of this, I really wanted an S7 Active and now the XZ.
One of these days I am going to jump ship. I. just have a bit of "data coverage anxiety" is the only thing holding me back...
The reason Verizon keeps their CDMA network because they still have 3g devices which are CDMA only.

Yes but, not necessarily the reason why VZ is keeping CDMA.
3G (1900Mhz CDMA) will begin to get faced out sometime next year. This is not a secret, it's actually common knowledge. In fact, some areas already don't have 3G coverage.
(800Mhz CDMA) Voice will stay at least for 2017. This is because VZ's VoLTE aka VoIP is not quite ready to go.
Some guy already tried using a VZ SIM on a Xperia XZ, didn't work.
Search YouTube for: "Sony Xperia XZ Verizon CDMA Test"
CDMA faced out all over the world last year except VZW. Some areas do not have 3g coverage doesn't mean there is no CDMA network there. There is a lot of VZW basic (CDMA) devices in the market now.

At least he need to add APN settings for Verizon network first. It's not gonna work what so ever since unlocked phones do NOT have it.

Of course you don't however, didn't that phone connect to the network briefly at start up, did it? Also it's only video so it can't prove xz doesn't work with VZW. It's my opinion even though I'm not with VZW.

Just to be clear; that's not my video. I'm no expert either but I really don't think APN settings would cause the tower to drop connection. AFAIK APN settings are just for data and MMS services.
I understand it's not your video and you knew APN is for data and mms. However, you forgot that in mean time, most VZW devices use CDMA for voice until they introduced HD voice (VoLTE) to have both voice and data work at the same time.
So without correct APN settings, nothing is gonna work including voice for non-cdma devices.

Thank you in advance!

With the latest OOS 9.5.13 the OP 7 Pro is now compatible with Visible Wireless (Verizon MVNO). Everything works, voice, text and data, without having to manipulate APNs or request enabling CDMA-less. Visible hasn't officially made the announcement yet but this is great for anyone who wants to use a Verizon based service for much cheaper than post paid. Anyone else been able to try their drive on Visible?

No, once you update you will lose service. I took a look at the apn-conf.xml and telephony.db files and all visible entries were removed on Android 10. Attempted to replace the files from 9.5.13 but still didn't work.
Looks Line a reversion issue where 10 was forked before the the fix in 9. Likely it is on the list to fix
