Video Calling

It doesn't matter what kind or strength of signal I have (top reception on 3G or H), I can't make video calls - I just get told the phone can't make the call (and I'm calling a phone that can receive video calls and has the same reception too). I'm on T-Mobile UK - any ideas if I have a faulty phone or there's some other issue I haven't thought of? Cheers!

have you asked t-mobile to activate video calling on your account?
Log into the my t-mobile website and check your activations in the 'review plan and allowances' link.
Once you're in there, make sure that video calling is ticked under 'additional services'
Mine wasn't by default. being that hardly anyone uses it in the uk, they don't seem to activate it automatically anymore.

Record incoming and outgoing calls

Before i had a droid 3, it wasnt possible to record incoming and outgoing calls. I am owning a Photon Q 4g LTE now, and i was wondering if it works with this device or not?

I have Google Voice, which allows me to record incoming calls.
If you want to record any calls, I'd guess you'd need some sort of an app. There are a few... have you tried any of them?
This one I saw on the front page of xda-devs not too long ago.
There's a bunch on the Play Store as well.

There is also a module for Xposed Framework that allows you to record calls.

Indeed, there are a lot of recorders like that, mut some phones like the droid 3 dont support it. The S3 does support.
I have a Photon Q 4G now, and i was wondering if this phone supports it or not.. If you guyz have this phone, i would appreciate if you could install that app called "" in call recorder "" than go to settings of that app -call recorder settings-Audio Source, and select PHONE LINE.
now make phone call, if it works than i know enough..

Well I have this application, and when I have audio source set to PhoneLine only first couple of seconds is recorded correctly, then recorded voice becomes all squeaky and hardly understandable, but no impact on call quiality. When set to Microphone the other party does not hear me at all. I got a response from the author about my issue, he suggested to use Microphone and higher Gain Level, but I haven't tried it yet.When I do I'll post my results.
Unfortunately no help...

Might be a little non-trivial to set up however using Google-Voice adds the functionality to record calls to this phone..
It is a little tricky to get it working correctly with Sprint in general but well worth it! You can record, then access everything online including texting and calling (using your phones number and plan) from the web..
I know some people may not like using google for things like that but it just works so good...

[Q] Sony Xperia Z3 D6633 Wifi Calling

Hey everyone,
I just picked up a new Z3 Unlocked with Dual sim mode and was having a very weird issue. I can make calls when the wifi is on, however, I do not receive incoming calls. It will ring twice and go to VM. Has anyone experienced this or know of way to fix it??
I've set the APN setting and everything works fine. I get LTE with AT&T and I have no issues except the issue with incoming calls on wifi.
Thanks guys.

I don't think you actually have wifi calling, as far as I know only tmo has a Z3 capable of wifi calling and its enabled by them and not Sony. I'm not sure if AT&T has even rolled out wifi calling on any phones yet, they've only stated their iPhones would get it sometime in 2015. Not sure how to solve your issue, but it can't be wifi calling.

Thanks hanano17
Im not sure what it is exactly. It seems as if it wont switch between wifi and the network to receive calls. I cant turn on my wifi at home because ill miss calls.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

The more detail you can provide about what you are attempting to do, what works and what does not, and the settings/state of your phone, the better.
Dumb question first: Are you sure you are on AT&T, not T-Mobile?
Also, is your Z3 T-Mobile branded by any chance? (You might then want to flash debranded Sony firmware... see the Android Development forum).
Do you have cellular coverage in your area? If you turn WiFi off (and be sure Airplane mode is off also!), are you able to send/receive any calls at all? Can you call voicemail? (Note that calling and receiving call is not dependent on data settings, such as APN).
Do you have another SIM nearby that you can try? (e.g. your SO's...)
Are you sure you have not configured your phone for SIP (VoIP)? Go to Settings -> Call Settings -> Internet Call Settings -> Use Internet calling -- make sure that it says Only to SIP address. (Internet calling is great -- I forward calls to my VOIPo number when unavailable/unanswered, where I can also "spoof" my outgoing number to match my cell phone number, receive my voice mails as email attachments, make calls from my computer, etc... but that's probably a couple of steps ahead).

whats your VOIP service If you dont mind me asking?

VOIPo.
I also use PhonePower for my "landline". We have a couple of SIP phones at home, and when going on vacations etc. we simply pick up our "home" calls on our cell phones (using the built-in SIP clients in Android and (gasp) Symbian).
PhonePower is better for international calls (VOIPo has a couple of restrictions, and also does not correctly interpret the "+" prefix in telephone numbers, the way I store them in my phonebook), whereas VOIPo is better as a "transparent" replacement for your cell phone number (if your cell phone is out of coverage, or in airplane mode), in that it can "spoof" the outgoing caller ID to match your cell phone number. (You'll have to verify it first of course).

Advanced Calling 1.0 ?? (Solved)

Have anyone get the Advanced Calling 1.0 to work?? I tried and it said the device isn't supported.

It activated for me, but of course I don't know anyone else with the feature, so I can't really test it. I do wonder if calls are a little clearer when calling a landline since those sound better than the heavily-compressed cellular calls.

The HD calls sound absolutely amazing! Its like you're in the same room with the other person. Works on vzw to vzw calls

This feature also allowed you to make a call and use the internet at a same time.
I can make a call and use the internet at the same time on my Moto X 2013 but not on the Note5.

I keep trying to get HD calling activated and it won't work. It says congratulations HD calling is now activated reboot your phone in 5 minutes to enjoy high-definition calling. When I do that and I go back into the advanced calling menu it doesn't give me the options to turn it on or off and takes me back and activation.
I then go into my verizon account and HD calling is not a feature that is able to be added. What am I doing wrong? I have caller ID name deactivated as I understand this feature sometimes won't work with high-definition calling

I have the same problem. I will call Verizon after work.

Same issue

Alright guys I got it to work. You have to call Verizon, you probably have "Decline HD Voice " on your plan (see attachment). Verizon have you remove Decline HD Voice and add the Advanced Calling 1.0 for you.

My just started working without calling Verizon. It finally removed the decline code and added the advanced calling code by itself.... I dunno

VZ has to activate it on there side.

Callers loosing every other word/cutting out.

Purchased an S7 AT&T version for my GF. Its running on straight talk and has Android 7.0
Callers (including me) are constantly complaining that they can't hear her. It's like every other word gets lost. She can hear the caller fine.
I turned off the HD voice options - no help.
Looked everywhere for the noise reduction/cancellation settings but can't find it.
The case she has is wide open at the bottom, not just a pin hole for the mic.
Here are my next steps please reply if you have any other thoughts.
- Record and play back audio to make sure the mic is ok.
- Somehow compare cell signal strength to another phone in the same location.
-Call using "hangouts" (think this uses mobile data instead of cell signal for call)
-Use a bluetooth head set for call.
- try a different sim??
- Hate to do it but backup and do Factory reset.
Thanks for any help
