Hello, just checking to see if Honor 8 has been updated to work with WiFi calling in the US. I saw about a year ago that Honor planned to add this but haven't been able to confirm if this is now added.

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.
I have a weak cellphone signal in my area and would like to use the Wifi-calling feature which can help me use wifi network to relay the cellphone signal (didn't buy any 4G plan but on 2/3G). As this phone doesn't have Wifi-calling enabled (at least for T-mobile in US), I wonder if the Link+ works as wifi-calling should do? I haven't gotten my nano-SIM card yet and hence cannot test it. Thanks.
Hi Guys, I am T-mobile user and switch to Honor 8 from Motorola Nexus 6 about three months back and after use around week felt that this is the best Phone ever better than iPhone 6S. After few days used this phone found that it's doesn't have WiFi calling feature which does have on Nexus 6 because at my work place very barely T-mobile signals reach. Try to find some blogs and got that will get this feature in next update vEMUI 5.0 with Android 7.0 which i got recently few days back. but still this feature doesn't show up or working at all. now I am feeling like this is the wrong choise coz it not supporting WiFi calling which normally most smartphones does support.
Huwai Team please address this and let us know if any fix is available to overcome this.
Has anyone done more testing on this or heard anything about Mate 9 supporting Verizon simcard?
Back in January I tested it and I was able to pick up mobile internet in some areas but phone and sms were not working.
I have switched from a Huawei Mate 10 - supposedly the top of the line Huawei, why?
BKL-L09 8.0.0.130 (C432)
- Swiping right on the Honor gives me Google Now, the Mate doesn't. It gives Hiboard, which doesn't work(here in the UK).
- It has Face Unlock, the Mate doesn't.
- The shape is thinner and longer. The Mate 10 is wider and more difficult to use unless you have a large hand.
- IT HAS WIFI CALLING!!!! :good::victory:
I didn't see this documented anywhere. The Mate 10 received an update where Wifi Calling was apparently added, but I never saw it, or any option to turn it on. Here, on the 'inferior' Honor View 10 is Wifi Calling, working with Three UK.
So is it just common knowledge that Wifi Calling just works ?
Here works Wifi Calling and Volte fine with my V10, same firmware. The Mate 10 (non Pro) has no Volte and no Wifi calling here with o2. On my 10 Pro volte and wifi calling is also working. But i sell the 10 Pro today, for me the V10 is the better 10

what exactly is better there?
Hello guys,
Finally the good news (at least for us in Saudi Arabia) Google has activated Volte & 5G on the latest Android 12 beta (May.2021)
But i am still waiting for the Vowifi activation
If anyone living in different countries can confirm as well
Thanks.
Update: in Android 12 beta 2 it was disabled again
What a stupid decision making
Good news bro
No change in Belgium (Orange, Proximus) with A12 Beta 1 , no VoLTE, no VoWifi
Same for Portugal(NOS) even on Beta 1 VoWiFi and VoLTE remains locked
VoLTE working here on 3 Austria too, don't have 5G enabled on my plan anymore so can't comment on that.
No luck with kuwait Stc
Anyone tested this in Hong Kong yet?

Is it still working after beta 2 update?
Anyone for uae ?
VoLTE & VoWiFi in Poland still blocked. Tested on Polkomtel and T-Mobile carriers.
It didn't work in Android 11 too...
The same for Orange BE, Proximus: VoLTE & VoWifi not working (A11, A12B2)
And we are in 2nd half of 2021..
I guess if Android 12 does not have the voiceover LTE then moving to root is the only option we all are left with. I am going for iphone anyways once it is confirmed that a basic feature of voice over LTE still does not exist after Android 12. Google pixel has been a terrible experience in advance times.
So there is a July security update which has a voice over LTE support for certain networks. Definitely not Middle East because I tried still not working I think it's just for some USA carriers
I enrolled in beta and on 2.1. Well the request still goes to deaf ears for Google.
Sorry on beta 3 but still no volte. Makes it clear that it's time to move to custom ROM and make the most of use of this phone now.

did you find any custom rom with volte working for you ?
No but I am currently up to two things.
First is that I am on the process of selling this phone on a local classified online.
Second is to check by rooting the phone.
I don't think any of the custom rom supports voiceover LTE by default. You really have to use the magisk by rooting the phone.
Pixel 5 will be totally last Google phone which I bought.
Official build of Android 12 comes this morning to my device, 5G, VoLTE, VoWIFI all these features still LOCKED!
Google is not a company which I can trust anymore.
