Verizon VoLTE/Video/Wi-Fi calling on the Google Store version - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I have 3 questions for those who use the Google Store version on Verizon.
1) Does VoLTE work?
2) Does VoLTE video calling work?
3) Does Wi-Fi calling work?
There have been conflicting reports on it prior to release, so it would be good if anyone could actually try it.

I can confirm WiFi calling does work. I'm guessing the "Advanced calling" is VoLTE.

Thanks. Could you also do this:
1. From a Home screen, tap Phone Phone icon (located in the lower-left). If not available, swipe up the Arrow icon Up Arrow icon (located at the bottom) to view the Apps List, then tap Phone Phone icon.
2. Tap the Menu icon Vertical Menu icon (located in the upper-right).
3. Tap Settings.
4. Tap Calls.
Do you see the Turn on video calling switch?

Thanks again, xxnirvana69xx. That's interesting, "Advanced calling" is a Verizon-specific term for VoLTE and the setting is usually only called so on Verizon branded phones. You got your phone from Google Store, right? What do you see if you go to My Verizon, "NON-VZW DEVICE" or "Google Pixel"?

To get VoLTE on the Pixel from the Google Store, you just need to first add HD voice to your Verizon account. (I did using the My Verizon app. It's free)
Once you've done that, the Advanced Calling option will appear and will already be enabled.
Video calling will also be automatically enabled. Option will appear for that by going to the phone app, then settings, calls.

Agreed but do you mean that data won't sleep after this?
I understand the instructions: effectively you use the suggested app to access the apn settings of your phone. it shows that there is two different apn settings, and by setting them both to default will fix the data connection problems.
I tried this, however it has had no effect on my phone. tested extensively as I am in hospital just now and haven't been off my phone.
Vodafone UK, HTC one S S4, rooted with stock 4.0.4 android.
Easiest/quickest fix I've found is to change connection type to GSM only, then back to CDMA once the phone signal resets. bloody annoying though, surprised that there isn't a fix for this yet.

[Q] D6633 Lollipop - Location based wifi missing

This used to be in Stamina mode, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Has it moved to another setting (tried looking but can't find it) or has it been completely removed?

It is not missing in D6603. Settings : WI-FI : press the tree dots that are showing in the upper-right corner : Advanced : and there it is.
Do you mind telling me where you can find it there coz I seem to overlook it.
Screenshots from advanced in the wifi settings.
I don't see any location based wifi options here.

Also according to Sony, they removed this feature: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...out-Lollipop-BALTIC-GENERAL/m-p/959335#M24468
Instead you can use Smart Wifi Toggler (or any other app, they all share the same idea). It works basically well and SWT has as well an option to prefer 5Ghz WLAN.

I have wifi-o-matic (similar function), which I used before I had the z3, however trying it on the z3 it seems to open the wifi at random points and never closes it.
Smart Wifi Toggler works properly after some learning phase. I can see Wifi switched off, however the power history shows it all the time on.
Seems Sony got rid of "location based wifi" because they think Google's own scanning always available option has been improved in Lollipop. I very much doubt that.
If wifi matic doesn't improve, I will give smart wifi toggler a go.
I really liked the fact that Sony had baked in the wifi option into their rom, so was slightly annoyed that they removed it with the lollipop upgrade.

Notch Pie is an app which creates an overlay on the status bar around the teardrop notch in order to show the battery status.
How to use :
1. Install the apk and open the app to grant all the required permissions.
2. Press the floating action button on the bottom in order to enable the accessibility service for the app.
3. Move the sliders around until the overlay wraps around the notch or is to your liking.
4. You can also change the colors by tapping on a specific color level and setting it to whatever you want.

Thanks to these awesome people for sticking with me! :
@Fly_7113 (dank memelorde and community helper, also made the app's icon)
@AdamGulyasJ (cool human, really really helped me with testing, and this app would probably have never been fixed without him>her)
Nice app...but not working on my Oneplus 6T as expected. I think it will work well with 'U' shaped Notch.
No more update?

Not work for me
I installed it and it worked, after a while it doesn't appear. I followed the instructions to enable accessibility but I got another message and I couldn't make it work. Uninstall it and I installed it again and it doesn't work. Something in MIUI changed that I can't use this app. The creator admits that there are strange behaviors in MIUI, a pity because I found it very useful. Redmi Note 7 MIUI 10
I can't fix Accessibility when I touch a message "This service will do this actions ..." Cancel or Accept but hit Accept and another mesagge That says "If one app is blocking ...." and I can't select Accessibility

Pixel 3a EVS codec (Enhanced HD Voice) support and configuration on VoWiFi

Hi, I'm trying to get VoWiFi working on my Pixel 3a using the EVS codec (also known as "enhanced HD voice"). This is in the UK, so I'm using an EE SIM card but while I get the "enable WiFi calling" option in settings appear nothing happens when I turn it on or off. The phone didn't have any mobile reception at the time - does anyone know if I need to connect to the EE network first?
And I'm using standard Pixel 3a OS, no custom ROM or anything - does anyone know if this should "just work" or if there's any extra config to get VoWiFi and EVS working?
In my searching around for stuff on this topic a lot is focused on Verizon/T-Mobile, so it's been difficult to find anything specific the UK. If someone else has experience with Pixel 3a, EE network and Voice over WiFi I'd be grateful to know whether this worked, even if you're not sure what codec was used for calls.
Thanks,
Rob
I think the best answer is to contact your service provider directly. Every provider seems to handle it differently and it's best to get the information directly from the company. Let's just hope you get a service rep that knows what you are talking about!
Here's what I see, if it helps. Also UK, also EE.

Hi. I'm on EE in the UK with a Pixel 3a and have WiFi calling available. Firstly, are you on a contract with EE? WiFi/4G calling is not available with EE PAYG/Flex packages. I normally see WiFi calling available when at home but it didn't seem to be showing yesterday for some reason. It's working again today, maybe there was a problem or they were working on something. WiFi calling only shows on the lock screen, I haven't seen any indication elsewhere. My connection screen is exactly the same as Silently's above. Completely standard P3a here. Andy
Edited to add: I moved from EE Flex to contract, it took about 24 hours after initial connection for WiFi calling to appear.

General [Verizon] Switching network types

Was lurking a battery drain thread and 5G came up a couple times so I thought I'd try to switch my band and see what's up. Tried dissecting Settings to the best of my ability and couldn't find sh*t for switching to 4G.
I was determined tho, whipped out the old Google and after a couple searches found a 'Samsung Band Selection' app as a workaround, but I thought the app was overkill for what I wanted. It was pulling a native menu from Settings so I used Tiles(Nova Actions worked too) and looked through its Activities and found that menu myself

No idea if this is even useful for anyone-- thought it was neat. I'm streaming music at work and the network constantly disconnects into a limbo/tug-of-war with finding a suitable connection. Now it's a QS shortcut
Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Networks -> Network mode -> LTE/3G/2G
LTE is 4G. No dialer codes or fancy backdoor access required.
Right, that's where I originally got frustrated. This is what happens when I click Network Mode and why I even considered making this post
Spoiler: Screen Shots
Completely different menu compared to the unlocked version. Must be a Verizon thing.

Verizon continues to amaze me with the ridiculous chastity belt it puts on each device. Theres only one Flip3 section so I put it under general knowing that it'll only apply to a fraction
The discussions in these threads were super helpful towards my battery drain, but I wish I could follow universal guides for android
The ability to access simple things without needing the planets to be aligned..
If your current network is not working properly and you want to switch your network with verizon so you will take a good decision here you have to use WPS BUTTON OF WIFI ROUTER this network is very fast and it help you to download your work and content.
