Possible to enable VoLTE on a GPE rom? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Anyone know of a way to enable VoLTE on MM GPE roms? I have it enabled via Verizon's website, but I am not able to toggle the "Turn on VoLTE Provisioned Flag" in *#*#INFO#*#* -> Phone Information menu, nor can I do it in the settings apk. Also, I'm on the latest MM firmware.

There's a whole thread on the topic around here in the vzw m8 forum. I think the bottom line is no, it's not possible. I think someone even pointed out that the m8 isn't capable of the right LTE bands or something of the sort.

[Q] Enabling VoLTE

I have a Droid Maxx on Verizon running the latest ota update (23.3.24), rooted, with TWRP installed. I enabled HD Calling (VoLTE) through Verizon's website, but cannot find an option in my phone's settings to enable it as was suggested in some comments I read on other sites. Am I missing something?
It should look like this, under Mobile Network Settings:

I believe that you have to restart the phone after activating the feature on your line.
Yeah once I activated the feature on Verizon wireless I had to turn the phone off for a few mins then back on and it was there,,,a simple reboot doesnt work.

Which software version do you have? There is no root available for Maxx, Ultra, or Mini phones on 4.4.4.

I was on an older software version and used a utility called Sunshine which was created by some of the devs who post in this forum. I just checked their website and it indicates that support for bootloader unlock for Verizon users on 4.4.4 will come in the next update to their utility. There's a $25 fee, but after your bootloader is unlocked, it will likely remain that way through future ota updates. After your bootloader is unlocked, you can install an alternate recovery like TWRP which will auto detect whether you have root upon exiting the recovery and ask if you want to install it or not.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I followed your suggestions, but still don't have an option to enable VoLTE on the device itself.
I left my phone off for 20+ minutes (several times) but the option to enable VoLTE (HD voice) was still not present under mobile network settings after powering on. I also performed a factory reset (no luck), wiped everything in TWRP and reinstalled the 23.3.24 fxz file using RSD Lite (no luck), and disabled and re-enabled HD voice through the Verizon website (still no luck).
Does anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm at a loss.
I have what may be a dumb question. I have a rooted, unlocked droid maxx on 4.4.4. I would like to get the latest update so that I can enable advanced calling on my phone. Can I download the update somewhere? My phone is set to not download updates automatically. Thanks.
For those who have been using Volte consistently since the update what has been your user experience? I was part of the soak and used it for only a week before disabling it. I found that in areas with weak 4g coverage the call would break up or I would loose the call all together.
My speaker has a crackling sound to it since enabling volte but other than that I haven't had much time with it in rough service areas to tell but I just got back to North Dakota for work so I'll get a crash course in that soon haha

I had the same issue. I found that it was a common occurrence in a weak 4g area. When it was really bad I would cut in and out before finally dropping the call. When I was in a strong 4g area the call was crystal clear.

Same here. With VoLTE on I started getting call drops in places I had never had them before. I have it disabled now.

Seeking advice on updating from 21.11.21. I am unrooted & have OTA disabled with my workaround. So no downside? Just enable or disable voLTE as needed?
Thanks

There may be other reasons to stick with 21.11.21 but concerns over VoLTE shouldn't be one. Even before you can use VoLTE with the phone you have to get Verizon to enable it on your account either by calling them or your account page on their website. At least I did when it came out and I assume that's still the case. Once it's enabled on your account the option to turn it on/off in the phone should show up in the settings. So if that's the only thing holding you back then I'd say go for it.

What other downsides?
I am hearing about bugs & of course unlock patch that would stop Sunshine if a root method is ever found.

I haven't encountered or heard of any bugs with 23.3.24, really. There's a thread in the other forum about lost features, but other than that and VoLTE I haven't noticed any differences from 21.11.21.
I guess there's always a risk of an root exploit being found and released for an older version after upgrading, but I'm not sure how likely that is to happen at this point. I don't think there's been a whiff of one on 21.11.21 or later. If one does come out it might end up working on 23.3.24 anyway since they are both 4.4.4 based.
With all the changes coming with Lollipop you might have better luck eventually getting an exploit for that version.
So I guess if you are perfectly content with 21.11.21 and aren't interested in VoLTE then there probably isn't much of a reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you do upgrade I speculate that it won't impact your ability to get root/unlocked bootloader down the road if one happens to fall out of the sky. But that's just my opinion.

VoLTE on unlocked version

I have a feeling I know the answer to this, but is there any way to enable VoLTE on the unlocked version, notably on the Rogers network in Canada?
Thanks

Ok thanks. That would be a yes on all of those (as it worked on my GS7 quite well) so is it just an option in the settings? If so I can't find it..?

Settings-->More-->Mobile network-->VoLTE calls. Enable that. If LTE stays connected when making a call you have VoLTE.

Thanks but that's what I originally feared: there is no VoLTE option anywhere in there..? I had done a search too and nothing pops up.
Rummaging through the internet, I found an article saying the unlocked version (mine) would NOT have VoLTE. No sure how accurate that was.

Are you connected to Wind by any chance? I don't think that network has volte yet. I think Rogers purchased them.
No, I'm on Rogers and I can confirm I had VoLTE before on my Galaxy S7, so it's neither the network or my account the issue.

Very weird. Maybe ask your carrier to check provisioning for your device. What bands does your carrier use for VoLTE?
it should be supported bu carrier it self , not only the phone ! check with them !
Well after some investigating, I have an answer: Rogers only support VoLTE on Apple, LG and Samsung devices...
This is really unfortunate but it's one last thing missing from the Honor 8 to make it my daily driver. It's an excellent device and I was very impressed for the price tag, but not having wireless charging, VoLTE and 4k video made me realize how much I actually use it.
Thanks for the help guys!

LTE speeds while using VoLTE

I am currently a T-Mobile customer, and my phone drops to 3g speeds during phone calls. Thing is, my Nexus 6 (and even the crappy TMo Revvl) don't lose any speeds, and still operate with full LATE service, while my fancy U11 slows down.
Does any other TMo customers experience the same thing?
I do not experience what you describe.
Does your phone maintain LTE icon the whole time?

Depends on the ROM. For some, it goes from LTE to H, LTE+ to LTE, or LTE to 4G. Either way, the icon always changes to reflect a slower data connection, and my speed tests have confirmed that this is not a cosmetic change.

Right, sounds like VoLTE is not working properly on your device. It should maintain LTE the whole time.
I don't recall doing anything specific other than making sure it was turned on in settings.

Thanks! I will adjust in a few minutes.
These settings didn't work for me. Still behaves the same way. In fact, the screenshot is exactly the same as my default APN. I guess I should have mentioned that I have the Sprint HTC U11 that I unlocked, and now using T-Mobile. I did not S-Off and flash over to unlocked as yet.

That seems like an important detail since Sprint uses special firmware... I think that's your problem. Install the US unlocked ROM.

Didn't T-Mobile just announce they were ending network support for non-VoLTE calls within the next 12 months?
I think they are effectively only supporting VoLTE calls going forward, thus no option to turn it off.
It's possible the removal of that option is a customization unique to the T-mo branded firmware though.

ok thanks. yup t-mobile did announce that so that's why i asked. was a little worried that i didn't see a volte option in settings knowing t-mobile was only going to support that next year. but you do make sense that it doesn't really need to be an option anymore. thanks for the input.

Wi-Fi Calling

New to this forum. Just got my Motorola One Hyper today. Am I able to make wi-fi calls on this phone? When I go to my Settings, Wi-Fi Calling is grayed out. If I long press it, Wi-Fi Calling comes up, but again, the screen is grayed out. It will not allow me to enable it. I am connected to my home wi-fi network, so that is not the problem. Thanks in advance.
It depends on your carrier, call customer service and ask if they use wifi calling. It works for me on T-Mobile on both stock and omni out of the box.
Beyond that, make sure you are updated to the latest stock firmware. The last update fixed volte and vowifi.

Thanks for the response. After the phone went through all of its updating, the wi-fi issue solved itself. But I have another question. This phone was labeled as "International version" when I purchased it. I discovered that it's actually (RETLA), thus the instructions only came in Spanish. Will this be an issue using it in the USA?
Thanks
What's the model number?
Mine is xt2027-1
If it's xt2027-3, you might be missing some lte bands...

Go to the link below, it compares the bands different models of our phone operate on. If more bands are compatible with your network, your network reception will improve.
