Anyone using the Honor 8 on US Tmobile and having issues with VOLTE? I see the setting is set but I don't get VOLTE when I make a call, it drops to 4G and no web browsing is available because data speed drops.
I stopped using VoLTE awhile back, I have an Honor 8 [Emui 5] and I have used T-Mobile for a very long time.

So you do NOT get VOLTE? What FW version are you on?
Has Huawei/Honor indicated any support for Wifi calling in future updates?
I get VOLTE on Honor 8. FRD-L04 model. I'm stock rooted EMUI 4.1.

How can you tell you are getting VoLTE calls? I have the FRD-L14 model Build FRD-L14C567B162.

It says 4GLTE while I'm on a call in the status bar.
VoLTE works great on T-Mobile for my Honor 8.
Honor 8 T-mobile has issues with VoLTE. When you call another Tmobile, it makes call continously for 15 to 18 times. I stopped using VoLTE.
works, no only if they can send and update to get wifi calling working

I'm using my FRD-04 on metro pcs and voLTE works fine for me. Not sure if this helps.

I am using TMobile and Honor 8 EMUI 5. Yes, I have VoLTE turned off now as enabling it fails to call other TMobile numbers.
Is there any disadvantage over turning off VoLTE? What do I lose?

That's bizarre. I have no issues with that.
One disadvantage would be if you're in a band 12 area. The phone will have to drop to the old network to make a call. The old network may not have as good a signal.
Hold the power button until the device hard reboots. This fixes weird call issues for me.

jio volte calling feature doesn't work in any custom rom. can u guys please develop to enable volte in any custom rom ?? please eagerly waiting .
dayum r u serious????
This has been mentioned what seems like a hundred times recently...
VoLTE works with most carriers on custom ROMs, but not Jio.
We don't know why Jio VoLTE works on stock and not custom ROMs, it seems to be something at the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) that is proprietary to Moto and/or non-standard.
The only way this will work is if you find a developer with sufficient experience in troubleshooting RIL issues (rare), that has the device, has Jio service, and the drive to do it.
Why is this so important? Can you not make and receive calls on the "standard" 3G service of Jio?

No, jio services are only LTE service provider. They are not licensed to provide other than LTE. That's why they are giving only VoLTE services as for now so you can't access 2g or 3g network to call.

I don't think changing carrier happens, because they are giving unlimited internet, unlimited call and unlimited SMS for free at 0 ₹( $) cost so stay stock and stuck.

SMS also are being sent on the back of the 4g network of Reliance JIO...
I faced this issue as i was on RR rom on my Moto G3 Turbo edition and then realised
no CM based rom has VOLTE support... at least not for Moto...
I was getting the same problem as others,, you had to dial 1977 to activate all the free unlimited
offers and you couldnt hear sound from the opposite side since the call was going through normal
carried signal and not VOLTE...
I flashed stock rom and immediately it showed VOLTE in the status bar... Activated using 1977
and enjoying unlimited CALLING over LTE, data UNLIMITED ... and UNLIMITED SMS

Using fastboot method only you can flash stock firmware.
There is a thread about it in general section to guide fastboot method, check and read carefully instructions.

I never tested it or said it would work, just that the 3GPP standard supports it, meaning I was acknowledging my previous comment was incorrect.
Jio is the exception, or maybe forerunner, here... They may be the first VoLTE *only* service in the world, every other carrier uses a mixed system to my knowledge. We are bound to see some issues with devices and roms because they have never had to deal with this circumstance before.

In our device we can't get to work jio join app for calling function, it recognises as Volte device so calling is disabled for our device.
In coming days they are going to release new version which is going to have support only video call option for our or Volte devices.
Try this. Worked nicely for me.

Hey all,
Recently I've switched from Honor 6 to Honor 8.
I have enabled the "Carrier aggregation" (LTE Cat. 6, 4G+). Problem is I'm not sure that Honor 8 is able to connect to 4G+.
With the Honor 6 I am able to achieve the 4G+ connection.
I'm on FRD-L09 with FRD-L09C432B120 in Athens/Greece.
Does anyone have the same issue? Can someone please test if it's working?
Thanks!

Ok, I've contacted my carrier to ask them about the issue. They answered that I'll just have to wait. They provide the 4G+ service per smartphone brand and model. Honor 8 is relatively new, so they have to update their "list of supported devices".

So even though the wi-fi calling feature, as shown to me by Best Buy store personnel, can be turned on from the settings, you say that the wi-fi calling does not work? Have you tried to turn it on? Thanks
Wi-Fi Calling / T-Mobile
How do you turn it on in Settings? I can't seem to find it.
There is no Wi-Fi calling feature in settings. At least none I can find. I'm in the US using an FRD-L04 from Best Buy.
I don't have the phone so I can't walk you thru it. But guy at Best Buy definitely showed me the feature on the Honor 8 that was on display. It was right there in the settings, I just can't recall exactly under what heading.
Not sure what the Best Buy rep did to show you, but I'm positive our Honor 8 doesn't have WiFi calling.
There's no WiFi calling... Maybe he showed u a different phone..

Hi There, we appreciate your question regarding Wi-Fi calling on the Honor 8. Since Wi-Fi calling is carrier specific, you will need to reach out to T-Mobile and ask about what their plans offer in terms of Wi-Fi capabilities. Hope that helps! (NS)

i updated to emui 5.01
Does this provide VoLTE support out of the box ?
or should we wait till the VoLTE update ?
It depends on the carrier you have, when it approves it, then honor should push a Volte enabled OTA (like it did with th 5x)
Just off topic, nowadays with a lot of messenger apps supporting video chat, I see less and less benefits of using VoLTE...

If there is only LTE support from a particular network, then without VoLTE you cant make calls.
There is app for speaking calls in LTE in case of JIO network. But still we don't want that app.
I like to use the normal inbuilt dialer rather than that app.
Also, if that app is closed, we cant receive calls. So VoLTE is necessary to supports mobile networks which doesn't support to 2G or 3G and solely having only 4G LTE.

Any company that only holds a data connection then that company really is just not cut out for the smartphone market. Sure you can use Skype or some other data calling app and with the next upgrade is coming and lte is soon be be by the wayside.

Since the company is giving out free data of 1 GB everyday, it is like revolution over here in India. So people are preferring mobiles with VoLTE out of the box to be the part of that network.

A little heads up though to get anything other than WiFi working I did have to go into the SIM settings and turn on mobile data as well as enable VoLTE and VoWiFi, not sure if that was related to activating it on release day or because it's the global model on T-Mobile (didn't really look into it since it was just flipping 3 settings then everything just worked).
