Honor 6X VoLTE ? - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

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...

You're absolutely Right, I don't use VoLTE at all

It does support VOLTE out of the box and I am using Chinese variant in India and jio just work fine.

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.

You will be limited in your choices. This is a very Niche thing so your best bet would be to look at devices that target India. Looking at devices for anywhere else in the world and you will be hard pressed to find anything.

Jio Volte Calling Feature in Custom Rom

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.

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

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.

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!

[Q] Tmobile VOLTE

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.

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.

WiFi Calling coming to India on Jio

Google India has tweeted this. How many of you actually use Pixel on Jio?
I do...I have enabled wifi calling...but dont think it works yet...waiting for the update
Any update on the wifi calling update?
Its been updated with 7.1.2 however you should be connected either to Jio hotspot (Device) or Jio public wifi hotspot. Doesn't work with any other wifi network providers.

Then it is laughable. Who is going to use Jio hotspot device at home if there is already poor signal? Kinda defeats the purpose of wifi calling. If jio public wifi hotspot is present, it is likely to be in an open public place where 4G reception will be better.

True, but i believe thats how it works, cos Jio4GVoice app works in a similar way, either with Jio Hotspot or Jio Public Wifi Hotspot, or Jio net (Mobile data). :fingers-crossed:
Can anyone confirm if this works on any other network's Wi-Fi, if not this is same as iPhone Wi-Fi Calling setting which was present since Jio's beginning but did nothing. Was that boasting on twitter Google?
I remember reading an article about this when bsnl tried to launch an app for calling from your landline number and was blocked before going public as Indian laws need caller identity from where the call is initialized.
Even on JioFi, you can only call with app from the number in JioFi sim, so kind of not exactly WiFi calling. You can't​ call from your number in your Phone.
I can confirm that Jio doesn't have Wifi calling or VoWifi enabled yet. I have confirmed it with the CC and a friend who works with Jio.
Doesn't work on JioFibre either. I have tried using an iPhone 6s Plus.
This should finally be coming sooner now as DOT has finally given all the necessary approvals. Jio has already done the trials last year so it should just be an easy switch.

US T-Mobile VoLTE support?

Does the US version support US T-Mobile VoLTE without reflashing mixing US oem.sin into foreign firmware?
You'd need to be on US region firmware to use VoLTE. For example, I flashed my Xperia 1 (J9110) to J8170 and everything works, including VoLTE - except for the 2nd sim.
It's carrier depending. The Sony is cable.

Silly me. I didn't realize this isn't out yet. GSMArena indicated October release, and I assumed it was already out and came here.
I suppose we won't know if the Xperia 5 sold in the US (ie Amazon, BestBuy, Adorama, etc) will support VoLTE out of the box. XperiFirm shows:
J8210 (listed in GSMArena) - UK & Ireland
J9210 (listed in GSMArena) - Europe, UK, Russia, Taiwan, HK and China
J8270 (listed in GSMArena) - Not found in XperiFirm
SOV41 (not mentioned in GSMArena) - Japan
901SO (not mentioned in GSMArena) - Japan
I suppose it will support VoLTE, as I read in the past in another thread about how the international firmwares recently started including VoLTE for the US. I am still on the XZ1 Compact, so I don't have any personal experience.
EDIT: Sorry, the thing about US VoLTE support in international firmwares might have been from the Samsung threads. I've been researching the S10e and Xperia 5 as my next phone after my XZ1 Compact, that my brain is fried.

Any chance that WiFi calling works as well? I'm seriously considering this device as an upgrade from the XZ1 compact. I'm probably hoping for too much here as that would have required a certification.
Unfortunately WiFi calling is not showing up for me on T-Mobile US. I can't remember the last time this was an issue. I'll call them later today to see whether the plan on whitelisting the Xperia 5 for WiFi calling.
I also can't tell if we're actually using VoLTE or not. The option is there in setting and LTE stays connected during a call, but I'm not certain whether the call is actually connecting nicer LTE.

I just made a call and watched the app. Unfortunately I remained on Band 4 during the call. Sounds like this means the call was not using VoLTE. Very disappointing.
Just received a call and there phone app said the call was over WiFi. That setting is nowhere to be found so that's interesting.
The person on the other end did confirm a echo on speaker phone, though. Not sure how to get rid of that.

Thank you. That's an interesting find. Also, I wouldn't expect the phone to switch during a call from band 4 to band 12. The only way to see would be to find a spot where you're on band 12 and see if it switches away during a call. It should stay on the strongest signal band.

Ah, I misunderstood your point about band 12 originally, apologies. I received calls yesterday and today and the Phone app says "calling over data," so I guess that is how they're saying VoLTE. I swear the terminology shown for both VoWiFi and VoLTE was different on my OnePlus 7 Pro.
In summary, for those skipping to the end, VoWiFi and VoLTE seem to work (on T-Mobile USA) even though it's not obvious.

VoLTE is available and works
I do not think WIFI calling is enabled/allowed on this phone.
I could not find wifi calling settings to enable/disable on the phone, so i did some tests to check if it works:
1. When I call within a WIFI network and TMobile off, the calls wont go through.
2. Also, when everything is on and I am connected on WIFI but very poor TMobile connection, I do not see WIFI calling

There is indeed no option to enable this but WiFi calling does work on T-Mobile USA.
I bought the phone last week. I compared the bands and connectivity with my XZ1 Compact. It definitely has VoLTE including band 12, but unfortunately it does not have any working WiFi calling on Tmo. No option and it doesn't make calls or texts on WiFi only connections.
I will say that it does seem to have a slightly better signal strength than my XZ1 Compact had.
Bump for any updates?
I get calls in lte mode so yeah I'd say USA volte works
