I am bro but mines is the opposite. I have strong lte connection but it won't continue with the call it just sit there waiting to dial but never does it just sit there until call ended weird. I'm running the PG1 debloated stock so I can't use WiFi calling it won't enable. Any answers??

Do you have xTouchwiz installed? I did a fresh install of PG1 then rooted. Wifi calling is good. Installed xposed. Still have wifi calling. Install Gravity Box, minminguard, and xTouchwiz. Enable in Xposed Framework. Reboot. Wifi calling still works. Mess around inside Gravity box changing stuff (loving how most of it doesn't require a reboot). Once I'm done with Gravity Box I reboot. I still have wifi calling. Ok at this point all I did was open up Xtouchwiz long enough for it to aquire root. Then I rebooted. Wifi calling is now stuck on enabling. Not sure what it is about xTouchwiz but I guess I can learn to live without it.

Yup! Rooted yesterday. Installed xposed framework. Now no 4g lte. Any resolution?
Update... factory wipe, re-rooted...busy box, trickster, then kernal toolkit. Set to interactive and kernal on boot. Issue solved. I think it was xposed.

Tmobile, stock, with Franco kernel
I'm seeing this every time with Aio wireless. I've never gotten data successfully over LTE yet (even though it connects). Can only use HSPA. Have several tickets open with them. Considering RMA'ing the Nexus 5 just to eliminate that as an issue.

[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.

I am using inbuilt tethering app to create wifi access point from my phone. Try that it should work. Not sure why you need 3rd party app for wifi tethering.

You just setup the hotspot, it is pretty straight forward. Just give it a try.
I am on T Mobile USA so wifi tethering is part of my plan. You will have to keep it on or can try some hacks on the net. I haven't tried them though.

WiFi and HD Calling Improvements

Verizon’s latest update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge brings Wi-Fi and HD Calling improvements.
To check for the update, head into Settings>About phone>Software updates>Check for updates.
Before you download:
Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network, or make sure it has a strong Verizon Wireless network connection.
Ensure your battery is fully charged before starting the software update.
I saw and downloaded the update. We use WiFi calling since we live in sticks and cell signal here is week. We had noticed poor quality recently, hopefully this update helps.

We've NEVER had luck with Wi-Fi calling. We have 75 MB Comcast connection and when the phone rings, it always disconnects when I answer, or a few seconds after.
Does anyone else have this going on? We can't even use it. We've heard from others that it's a great feature, just we can't get it working.
Anyone else upgraded? How is it? Does it make a noticeable difference in volte?
Updated and the phone seems identical. WiFi calling seems hit or miss for me: it sometimes connects, and sometimes sounds all right, but no real change from before.
Can someone confirm FoxFi works on update?

After dealing with so-so signal strength and ZERO wifi calling abilities with this Verizon phone, tech support is sending me a new SIM card. They said if that doesn't fix my issues, they'll send me a new phone right away.
If you're having problems, I'd suggest going the same route.

I notice if I got both CELL and WIFI on... and my cell is weak and "jumps" to wifi calling, people say I "sound like a frog".
If I go to airplane mode and turn cell on - everything sounds crystal clear to both sides

You using Foxfi for wireless tethering I assume? Are you on the latest software version? I am thinking about unrooting and switching to that but I fear I may regret it...

Galaxy S8+ "Cannot turn on Wifi Calling service"

That's all I got. Just got a Sprint S8+ yesterday and I can't activate Wifi Calling at all. Every time I try it just says Cannot turn on Wifi Calling service. Any ideas?

This happened to me on Verizon and it was cause I had disabled Verizon login service. So if you disabled any bloatware from sprint you can start there.
Other guy has it 100%, it's one of the sprint services. I disabled it after the whole update from package disabler pro wiped out my disabled list. Had to go back through and enable stuff one by one until it works.
I believe it was sprint hub...but might be remembering wrong.

I am on Verizon as well, I've never used wifi calling on any of my phones. I moved to an area with crappy reception. I can not figure out how to make calls over wifi. Can ya help me out? I am 100% stock, nothing disabled.

You turn on advanced calling features first I believe and then you can turn on wifi calling.

It only gives me the option to use wifi for calling when the mobile network is not available.

Just noticed that's what it says here also, haven't noticed if that's the case though. I'll have to look at my wife's phone(pixel xl) later to see what it says, cause I know that was doing wifi calling whenever I was home.
Update: I just checked and your given a choice to prefer cell or wifi.
