Thanks.
Is there a way to deactivate it ?

What carrier are you on? My guess is to disable advanced calling (what it's called for Verizon) in your mobile plan

Unlocked, developer HTC A9 Android 7.0 Issues

My daughter has an unlocked HTC A9 that just got an Android 7.0 update 2 days ago. Our carrier is T-Mobile USA and when the phone had Android 6.0.1, it had VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling features working extremely well. Now after Android 7.0 upgrade these 2 particular features are gone from the software.
Can someone with an unlocked HTC A9 on T-Mobile USA check if their VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling options are missing as well after Nougat upgrade? Thanks in advance.

I did have the option in settings to switch VoLTE on or off, and it does seem to be missing here. If you want to know if it is on or off, go to phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* and click on phone information. Scroll down until you see either turn off volte provisioned flag or turn on volte provisioned flag. If it says turn off volte provisioned flag that means VoLTE is on. For the Wi-Fi calling, there is an option in settings for it I believe. Go to the call tab under setting and scroll all the way down to calling accounts. In that part of settings there is settings for "internet calling". Not sure if this is what you are looking for but this is what I found
Hope it helps, and good luck

I have an HTC A9 (oem unlocked), on T-Mobile USA.
VoLTE and Wi-Fi was not enabled by default until I manually forgot and reconnected to my Wi-Fi network. Afterwards, I went to settings, Call, and scrolled all the way down. There's a new section called "Enhanced Call Service" and VoLTE and WiFi Calling are now options available.

OK. Thanks. The tip about "forgetting" the network and re-adding might be worth trying. But only later today, once I get home.

So I deleted/"forgot" all of the Wi-Fi networks. Rebooted the phone. And still no Enhanced Services with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling area under Settings --> Call. next step would be to do a factory reset and see if that helps.

Have you tried a network settings reset? It should be under settings>backup and reset
I'm having the same issue. I'm wondering where the Wi-fi Calling feature is. I have the US Unlocked/Dev edition and the "Wi-fi Calling" tab isn't under "Mobile Data" like it was on 6.0.1 .
I have the unlocked a9 on tmobile and everything worked well immediately after updating.
I have yet to make an actual call over wifi on nougat but sms worked fine and volte certainly works.
The only strange thing is the lte indicator seems to be the verizon one
Perhaps you should try taking the sim out, restarting, putting the sim back in and see if that makes the phone recognise it needs to use tmo settings?

I am on 2.18.617.21 and can't find these settings. How to get them back. Unable to make or receive calls on my mobile since mine is an LTE only network. Tried factory reset and changing CID to 11111111, but nothing worked.

volte and 4g icons in status bar

Hello guys,
Now from what i know about this phone it is dual 4G and i have it enabled in developer options.
I also have volte service activated from operators on both sims, but only one sim displays the volte option and 4G icon in status bar. I have tried switching the sims and then volte/4G icon appears only for sim 2.
According to Network cell info software i have 4G/4G+ on both sims and Data Network is lte for both, so in theory both sims have volte and 4G enabled, but it displays only for one operator.
My question here is if anyone has volte/4G icons for both sims in status bar and if you can share a snip as proof.
Thanks.
Only works in Sim 2 for me, see attached screenshot.
At least you have 4G for both. Mine only shows 4G on the active data sim only.
Would appreciate if anyone posts a snip with both 4G/volte for both sims. i have a ticket opened at Huawei and want to give them an example that on how it should display.
I will show you tomorrow with 2 simms from Orange and Digi Romania.
Take in consideration that here Vodafone has VoLTE without showing a VoLTE icon on any phone. On Vodafone I can not switch off the VoLTE because is no slider/option on network menu. They activate VoLTE from their server so if I want to deactivate it I have to call them. You can verify if you are in the same situation as follow:
- keep data mobile on this sim (no WiFi).
- Network 4G
- initiate a phone call
If remains in 4G means you have VoLte activated but no icon (carrier option). If commute in 3G means you don't have VoLte activated
I will change the Vodafone Sim with Digi one to see 2 icons.
LE: Orange Romania + Digi Romania
Hi,
Ok, I can understand the volte icon is carrier dependent on Vodafone, but what about the 4G icon? For me it only shows 4G icon on the sim where I have data active only. Check attached pics.
And yes, I know about the test you mentioned and yes, it stays as 4G during a call. I know I have the option active(since for vowifi I get icons on both Orange and Vodafone) and I checked with Network Cell Info program and it says Voice Network is lte on both sims.

You have to use Tweaker for Huawei.
View attachment 5015499View attachment 5015501
Apply and restart.
LE You can ask also here: https://forum.softpedia.com/topic/1148606-huawei-mate-30mate-30-pro/
Thx for the tweak tip.
@Sathelp : did you use the tweaker to get the 4G icons on both sims? Or maybe you see both because the phone is 5G model..
No, I hacked to get the VoLTE working (search for my thread) but the 4g is standard, sim one is Sky (O2) and sim 2 is EE (UK) . I have reasonable signal levels.

And with that app what that you get?
Can I make VoLTE calls or enable the VoLTE icon in the Mate 30 Pro's internal menu?

Follow the discution from the beginning. In this case, you can enable the network icon on the second Sim.
To be honest it asks me for root also to enable 4G icon on second sim. No idea why it works for you.
It asks because some functions need that. Not this one. It is better to try it. It is easy to do it.
I found the setting to display the 4G icon on both sims with SetEdit:
isShowNetworkType to be changed to 1
Sure. The same thing, different app. No root needed?

no volte option

I got the phone today, but I there is no volte option in setting. I had volte options in my oneplus 5t. Is there secret codes to force unable the option? I am on three UK sim.
Other way round for me.
On BT Mobile (and EE) UK I could never get 4G calling on my old XZ2. Xperia5 II plugged in sim and it was a notifications bar quick button and available in settings straight away.
Comes under:
Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile > Advanced > Calling
I have made few calls and it seem they were made over 4G because status bar icon didn't change from 4G to 3G so I guess I do have VOLTE enabled but I don't have option in setting.
Further more I checked the info section and the volte provision option is enabled and grayed out. I don't understand why I don't have option for volte but it works for don't care much about it now.
Edit = WiFi calling option is available in setting and it works too.
I have 4G Calling option available for my O2 sim and VoLTE for my Telekom sim. WiFi calling option is also there.
I only get VOLTE option on my UK 3 sim. On my Spanish O2 SIM it's not available (though I know for sure the service is enabled but only for certain devices)

Weird, I am using UK 3 SIM as well and I don't get option for volte but I am able to make calls over 4G. Don't know why is option hidden.
It is activated by standard if technically possible. There is no reason to deactivate it, so no switch is needed.
VoLTE/ Wifi calling are enabled by the operator. Maybe your operator has not certified Xperia 5 ii yet.
Check with your operator
4G Calling is actually VoLTE, so you have it and you are using it already as you stated above. No worries! ?

Hi. I asked in another thread about WiFi calling working for the Xperia 5 II on BT Mobile. If 4G calling works then hopefully WiFi calling too?.
Can you confirm? Thx.

I should have clarified my previous post. The selectable option (quick button and menu) is to turn Wifi Calling on/off. VOLTE/4G calling is just fixed as provisioned. You can see this in the service menu (*#*#4636#*#*)
The service providers are clueless when you ask if they do or don't support Wifi/VOLTE calling.
So yes both available and working on BT Mobile.

How to enable VoLTE for LG V50 (Korean U+)

How to enable VoLTE on the korean U+? I've checked with my carrier and they confirmed that VoLTE service is active on my SIM. However I can't find any option to enable VoLTE in phone settings. I've only seen a VoLTE call quality option in phone settings - not sure if this means that it's already active. The status bag logo also shows just LTE when mobile data is enabled - no indication of VoLTE.
If you have mobile data showing LTE and it does not change to 3G (or something else) when you make or receive a call, then you are on VoLTE. That is my general understanding of it.

Ah ok. It seems you are not on VoLTE then. Sorry, I don't know how to activate it though.
i have the sprint version but am currently on tmobile network which (was switching me to 3g) during voice call or txt msg.
now that tmobile has been taking down 3g (and they are working on a tower in my area) i do not even see 3g symbol in notifications anymore. i can complete the call and there is no lte symbol or 3g symbol but call completes but can not use data still.
when i hang up i see lte and can use data (browse the web)
the funny thing is before i went to tmobile i had metro pcs in this area which uses tmobile network and i never had a volte problem so you know this is software and they just want us to buy more phones.
this exact phone worked on metropcs with volte no problem.
