Just wondering if anything's changed since last year. Does anyone who owns the XZP (either U.S. or int'l, but please SPECIFY in your reply) AND has AT&T (please only respond if yes to BOTH) get VoLTE on this phone? If so, did you have to do anything special or was it just available out of the box??
Thanks!!
I own a xz premium us model since launch but flashed ce1 firmware over it to get finger print scanner with att grandfathered unlimited. I don't have volte but I use Google hangouts for phone calls which allow me to have the phone call over a lte connection.

Ahh ok. Thanks.
Is that difficult to have calls over Google Hangouts? I mean, what are the drawbacks? Cost? Limits?
That really sux b/c 2 years ago when the X Performance came out, ppl on here who had AT&T said they were getting VoLTE I believe. But now no one who has AT&T is getting. Did AT&T start requiring certification for VoLTE the way T-Mobile does or something??! lol
Anyone else??

I had a x performance and on att and was not getting volte. Hangouts is free. I ported my old number from Verizon to Google voice, when I switched to att to be able to purchase unlocked phones. As long as your data signal is strong Google voice calls work flawless over lte with hangouts.

Really? F I dunno. Maybe it was some other issue then. Been 2 years so maybe I'm remembering it wrong? If anyone had or still has the X Performance & AT&T, let me know.
Yeah I have Hangouts but never use it for calls. But what about receiving calls? How would the phone get the same kind of reception as you'd get with VoLTE if the phone won't enable VoLTE b/c Sony Mobile are idiots? lol

Hangouts receives calls like any other phone number. As long as there is a data connection. It works. Works better on lte. But if you drop out of lte you may lose call unless you got 4g or high speed 3g around

I have the ATT HOX and want to disable LTE due to the known issues with missed calls etc. Would it be possible to disable it through root access WITHOUT installing a custom ROM?
I'm not sure what AT&T do to their phones but can you not change it via Settings > Mobile Network > Network mode.

What known missed calls issue? What would LTE have to do with missed calls? LTE on AT&T is data only. It doesn't do anything with calls. You can dial *#*#4636#*#* and try to set it to gsm only or something.

Believe me I have tried. It's not possible. But ik you said you didn't want to, but you really should look into custom ROMs. There's some that are basically stock with just better battery
Except for ATT. Its a well documented fact that they have it disabled. Any changes you make revert back to default.

Its a fairly well known issue with ATT and LTE phones.
As far as I can tell since LTE IS data only it has a hard time receiving calls when its connected to the LTE network. I think it has something to do with only having 1 antenna and it cant communicate on voice and data at the same time. Or, maybe not.:silly: All I know is that when my phone is connected to LTE I will not receive phone calls. All calls will ring a few times and then go to voice mail. I eventually get voice message notifications when the phone switches out of LTE.
Any changes made in the field test mode do not stick. Thank you very much ATT.

I've had 3 different LTE phones on AT&T and never had issues with missed calls and I'm constantly on a LTE connection. My phone kicks to hspa+ right before I receive a call and then it rings. Goes back to LTE about 30 seconds after I hang up. The only thing I can think of is that you are on LTE only in the field test mode thing. That will definitely give you call problems. What does it say that you are connected to when you go into the phone information menu?

I've had a few LTE phones too but I can confirm that this is an issue with AT&T and the HOX. (At least in certain areas.) The phone is *supposed* to do what you said and switch off LTE when a call comes in but that doesn't always happen. I've noticed it the most at my office where I usually have 4 bars of "4G LTE" or one or two bars of "4G". I'll have a long period of time with no incoming calls or texts and then when I make a call (and the phone switches to "4G") I get the backlog of voicemails and text messages. Hard resets haven't helped and AT&T refuses to admit that it's a problem.
Heres a summary of what I have found:
1 Being in field test mode does not affect incoming calls.
2. When making outgoing phone calls with LTE or HSPA displayed in field test mode, the connection will switch to UMTS and then revert back to LTE or HSPA after hanging up. I dont know what that means, just throwing it out there.
3. On a few occasions during my testing I have noticed that I could not receive calls when HSPA is displayed in field test mode. I think that the phone had just switched from LTE, although I havent been able to 100% verify that.
4. My connection at my house varies between LTE, HSPA,EDGE.
5. EDGE is great. My phone makes and receives calls all day long when I have a EDGE connection.
6. Most of my testing has been at home where I have crappy reception to begin with. On a few occasions when I had my wife with me I had her call my phone(connected to LTE). Same as when at home, my pone never rings.

Exactly!
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 on AT&T and I have same issue when connected to LTE. I have been working with AT&T CSR for over a week and no resolution yet. I have talked them into switching my data plan from 300MB LTE to Unlimited Standard Phone data plan. (Unlimited standard phone data plan uses HSPA+ and not LTE, which would resolve the issue)
From what I have understood so far, its not the phone, its the AT&T LTE network.
Wouldnt people with the same phone have more answers for you?

No, because this issue is not related to the phone but its related to AT&T LTE network. So everyone on AT&T LTE network has same issue and not only people with HTC one X.

I was on phone with them last night. They have created a case number for me so their "technical team" can look into it. They promised me to get back to me before friday on this.
For changing the data plan, the CSR tried to change it but it didnt work yesterday. I blame it on the CSR because I know some people on XDA has done that before. I am gonna call them again and have a different CSR try it or me.
And plus, with this change, you get unlimited HSPA+ for just $10.

Thanks for the link. Those settings actually worked for me. I had already tried a couple different APN configs but none of them seemed to stick.
So, now I have successfully disabled LTE.
Unfortunately, I'm still having intermittent missed calls with the phone connected to HSPA. Also, At work in certain areas, we have rock solid LTE reception and guess what...no missed calls. WTFrack?
At home the only time I can get regular calls is when the phone is connected to EDGE.
I seriously think that there must some relationship between 4G/LTE and signal strength. Does anyone know If EDGE and 4G/LTE use the same towers or same power outputs?

Hangouts is for video calls.
thanks for the reply
yeah hangouts can be used for video call, but i saw many android phones have the video call option directly on a name in the contacts.
so i was wondering if i could have that shortcut on the dialer of moto g too...
but hangouts would use 3g data and not the 3g video calling feature of service provider....correct me if m mistaken!!

There isn't support for it in stock android.Only if the manufacturer decideds to put its own in the dailer/contacts apps (samsung for example has it ot many phones of theirs).
Also I didn't see any port of that feature at all, but since I don't care for expensive operator-hosted video calling, I might missed it up if it was ever ported.

you are not alone. i spent times to explain to them who surprisingly an android, ios developer about this native video calling and they insist its 3g data used. after i said that, my mother can receive my video call without any plan or credits whatsoever in her phone, they all surprised
at this time only samsung and some local brands are having this. sony-ericksson already started this feature back in 2004/2005, and samsung keep using this feature on their windows phone 5.x/6.x (not with current win phone 7/8) , also to all samsung android devices.
you will never has this feature activated on google nexus since android doesnt support this feature on the os.
i assume, your phone is samsung. coz, lg , acer and lenovo hasnt as well as nexus.
I had Xolo q800, and it ran on jb , but most importantly it had that native video call feature. Actually its different to video call over data( as it happens in Skype, hangout). But I am surprised to see that such a feature is not available on much hyped miui ROM. And in this call you pay as per the plan of provider, not by our data mb.
Mobile network video calls are outdated and no one uses them anymore
People use VOIP instead like hangouts or skype
Hi Guys,
I'm using the US Mate 9 with AT&T, a GSM provider. I noticed when I'm on a call either there is no data (Internet) available or very patchy with the screen on...
Wanted to ask you guys if this is normal and expected behavior?
Thanks!
I dont think is normal, I've seen icon change from 4g to 3g to H+ when I'm on calls but still able to open facebook,whatsapp or firefox while calling. I'm with Tmo tho.

It's because At&t doesn't allow VoLTE on the Mate 9 so when you make a call you get dropped to 4g or 3g speeds. T-Mobile allows VoLTE so data doesn't change due to a call. I run both sims in mine and it's why I keep my personal line on T-Mobile and use it's data. My At&t line is strictly for work calls.

I didn't adjust anything with my At&t sim so I don't think you should need to either. Also this is a brand new sim and number so it was never in a different phone. I know on my Axon I had to put it in my iPhone first to get it working properly but not this phone. Are you in a good coverage area?

Both At&t and T-Mobile show 4gLTE icons but At&t's drops to 4g only while in a call, T-Mobiles stays 4gLTE which verifies VoLTE only works on T-Mobile.
I believe you're correct and the Chinese variant doesnt show LTE.

Guys, thanks for all your helpful responses! Just to close the loop on the issue of *NO DATA* during calls was fixed with the check box, checked in the attachment.
Although, as shared here, it's possible that it's H+ or 3G only service, not true LTE.
Thanks!
Alternative Solution
I had the same problem, I found out that this box was already checked on my phone, What fixed it for me was checking Mobile Network -> Access Point Names> selecting "ATT Phone"
I had initially selected "ATT Nextgenphone."

Excellent to have Wifi Calling on Att finally on our pixels!:good:
I was wondering if wifi calling would work with at&t. If I remember right hd calling worked with the p2 with the right sim and getting it provisioned on your line but wifi calling didn't work. That only worked on phones from at&t. There were a couple places that I needed wifi calling and it came in handy. One was in a couple places at work with bad cell service and another was in a friend's home in the mountains of PA. wifi but no cell towers around. If wifi calling works at all I'll be glad.

That's great that it works. I would only need it when cell is unavailable. I sold my p2xl and had an s9+ for a while. That was a mistake. It was a good phone but I need my pixel back. Thanks for the info.
If I remember right that's how all the pixels are even on Verizon.
No option to make WiFi calling preferred.
At least it is working on Att because previous ones did not.
On my Pixel 2 XL, on TMobile, I have the option to set wifi calling to preferred. My 3 had not arrived to check yet. I do not have the setting in your screenshot for the emergency address.

If I remember right that's how all the pixels are even on Verizon.
No option to make WiFi calling preferred.
At least it is working on Att because previous ones did not.

What service do you have?
I know on Verizon you could never make it preferred, and Att never worked.
Unless Verizon changed after I changed carriers

I am on factory unlocked

This is what we see on AT&T...we don't have the option to select calling preference.
Guys!! This is a huge win for pixels and non at&t branded phone lovers!!! Never before in the history of at&t and Android has VoWiFi worked on non at&t branded phones.. I couldn't believe my stroke of good luck when I tested it today!! Thank you thank you Google. I had switched to TMobile because of this and carried at&t as secondary to fill in the gaps.. but i may just switch back.. so happy.. also, TMobile is the only American carrier that let's you prefer wifi calling over mobile.. so no dice there.. but hey, I'll take it.. and you can always enable airplane mode and force wifi calling.
Also, I tested tonight in a poor at&t coverage area and it seemed to switch between wifi and cellular calling just fine!!

Who is your carrier? Not at&t or Verizon I suspect.

If it does for you that's great...I tried it for 24 hrs. Had no signal my whole day while work in my office. So no go for me, even with it being a lot cheaper service.
I do hope they keep improving though, for competition purposes.

Yes they do! In so many ways and areas. And they have improved so much in the last year. I travel a lot and love watching coverage and I could name dozens and dozens of new towers. But they need 100s and 100s to compete.. let's hope the Sprint/tmo merger got through. It would be awesome to have reliable competition to dumb and dumber.
Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

It does not. Used my OnePlus 7 Pro for a couple of days and no WiFi calling.
