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.

IT does not. Here in Denmark, Sony got zero volte or wofi, it's carrier lablet.
And they know, phones is NOT Sony's prime, no more.

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.

Okay, thanks. As far as the VoLTE, I've found the LTE Discovery app works well. Just make a call and verify it's still using band 12

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

For those of us who will be using T-Mobile as our carrier and are considering buying an international variant of the Z3 instead of the T-Mobile variant, what are all of the pros/cons? There's only a few that I can think of, and some important ones that we need someone to confirm if possible.
Pros:
Unlocked bootloader
Color options other than black
Cons:
No international variant with LTE Band 12 support
No VoLTE support?
No WiFi Calling support (Android 4.4.4 or Android 5.0)?
Can't use Jump! (ie. no insurance)
Although perhaps negligible, less battery life (from having more frequency support)?
16GB Internal Storage
Pretty much summed it up. The battery life difference should be negligible. T-Mobile version does have 32GB internal storage as well.

I would say that the T-Mobile version definitely has Band 12, but that it isn't active yet and will be turned on when the network is ready.

There's no debate on this. The T-Mobile version (D6616) has LTE Band 12. T-Mobile may simply not be listing it because they don't want to advertise a network that isn't up yet.

Thanks, glad to hear it.
After the Moto X "Pure Edition" I purchased as supposedly having Band 12 and finding out it didn't, I'm overly cautious I guess! Then again, I live in the Bay Area and I think T-mo has a lot of work to do to clear up the Band 12 licenses here unfortunately.
-Collin-
One think to mention of the international version is that it isn't carrier locked and that it is free from T-Mobile's bloatware. I also like a device without carrier's logo on it. Copper and White Z3s looks awesome. Happened the same with my first Xperia Z1, it was international version purple color when all other T-Mo customers has black Z1s.

There is something else that is unclear to me: • VoLTE support! I did see the T-Mobile's version having an option in settings>call settings: Enable VoLTE if available (check mark). So international version won't have this?
I don't know if the D6603 has the VoLTE menu ootion, however on a hardware level I believe it does.

Thanks. I was ready to buy an unlocked version, but I saw this thread, so I searched online yesterday for a good 30+ minutes, even Z3's white pages, specs, but nothing that would mention VoLTE. The interesting thing that I found is that Xperia Z3 Compact, does mention VoLTE support. I also emailed few people on youtube that had made videos about Z3, waiting on their reply.
Anyone able to confirm if T-Mobile VoLTE works on the D6603 model? Screenshot showing the HD icon?

Load TMobile software on a D6603 Z3??
Hey everyone. I own a international Sony Xperia Z3 model D6603 and was wondering if it was possible to load US TMobile D6616 software on it in order to enable WiFi calling/texting??
Thanks for everyone's help!
I would imagine so. Just use FlashTool and XperiFirm, but be ready to roll back with the proper files in case something goes wrong. So I'm not 100% sure, but I'd imagine you can if the hardware is similar enough. Do at your own risk, though - perhaps someone who knows more than me about this could chime in.

Did it work eventually???
I have the Unlocked A9 and I'm using it on T-Mobile USA.
Setting--> Mobile Data--> Voice over LTE is checked.
VoLTE worked with original firmware, but with the November Security Update (639737.6), it no longer works for me. (VoLTE = calls made under 4G LTE. When I make phone calls now, it changes to 4G even though I have 4 bars 4G LTE).
Please let me know if it works for you. Thanks.
I'm still waiting for my unlocked A9 for use on T-Mobile, so I can't give you another example.
I have read that there is no such thing as 4G voice, only (4G) VoLTE. (4G = LTE = data only.) If it is 4G (i.e. data) and doesn't support VoLTE then it must be using a 2G (GSM) band for voice. If it is showing 4G when you are talking then I think it must be VoLTE. At least that is how I understand things.
I'm on the latest ota update for the unlocked version and VoLTE works fine for me. I was concerned unlocking the bootloader would change that but i just completed that and calls still go over lte
In fact I've left my phone in lte only mode for the past week

Thanks for the input. Based on our info, I'm surprised that VoLTE does not work for me. When I make a call the 4G LTE goes to 4G meaning that it's a GSM call (not through data.) (LTE Discovery confirms this, as the LTE radio shuts-off during the call.)
I might factory-reset my phone and start from the beginning. Not happy, since this is hours of work...

Could be, but I have a Samsung Avant sitting next to it, and the Avant's VoLTE works while on my A9 it does not. Speed test results are similar for the phones, so I know that the connection is good.
Just got off the phone with T-Mobile, they transferred me to HTC tech support. HTC wasn't much help (just reading from a computer screen). The tech promised that a level 2 support person would call me in the next 24-72 hours.

Thanks for all your help. When I read that you are on the latest ota update and your VoLTE works, I suspected it was my phone. Well, I factory-reset my A9 this morning, and VoLTE works now.

I think they are buried. I have tried emailing them this week about accessories, also tried their chat support, and just nothing. And still no shipping date for my unlocked garnet of 23 Oct.

Yep i thought It did aswell, I'm in the UK on three UK and though I think it is network dependant too in the build prop file it does say something volte=0 it may be just turned off. Also not convinced that the white paper is even correct if this is the case.

The VOLTE setting in build.prop are:

ro.mtk_volte_support=0
persist.mtk.volte.enable=0
persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=0
Can someone with root access change it to 1 and reboot your device? After this check through setting to see if there is VOLTE or Advanced Calling somewhere. Also try a call and see if LTE stays connected.
I tried all of those build.prop settings. I get the Enable VOLTE option in settings but all calls drop to UMTS/HSPA. Sony Mobile support on their forumkeep pointing to the whitepaper and blaming the carrier. I tried a T-Mobile sim and an AT&T sim. No VOLTE. I tried Bell Canada ROM and journalist ROM. Still no VOLTE. Guess I will be returning the device. Too bad because the hardware is great.

Specs according to my network three UK clearly states volte voice over 4glte strange...
EDIT: From what I can gather it's all done automatically on my network at least, especially if you use there WiFi/volte calling app called three in touch for when you have no network coverage it was originally intended as a WiFi calling app but now supports volte apparently and for now must be on my carrier firmware(more or less a customised UK ftf only there splash screen and two of there apps both needed) not that this probably helps you but it is supported(network dependant)

It's network dependant so even if you enable the volte toggle in settings via build prop if your network doesn't have volte you can't use it. Still trying to figure out who is right. My network advertise the xa as 4g super voice(what my network call volte) capable out of the box as do Sony yet there's no toggle or mention of volte calling anywhere in the device. Three UK reckon it'll only revert to volte calling if all other methods of making a call fail first say if your in a area with no or little reception. It's a sim free network unlocked device running my networks slightly tweaked customised UK ftf with only a splash screen and a few apps for account info and a WiFi calling app

That statement about volte as a last resort sounds backwards from how every other volte phone works. They prioritize volte. Also thanks for speaking up in my Sony Mobile forum thread. The more people bug Sony, the better chance we have of getting a straight answer. If we end up with working volte support I may purchase this device again. I really do like the size & form.

Does anybody know if the OP6 will support Wifi calling? More specifically in the UK?
I think someone once mentioned to me that the OP5 had Wifi calling on Three UK?
I would also like to know this answer.
I'm with three UK, and had WiFi calling on my Note8.
Unfortunately nothing has come-up on the OP6.
Will keep you updated.
WiFi calling on O2UK
You see WiFi calling as an option on OP6?

Is the option there? User above has shown Wifi calling option is certainly there and works with O2.
I have Wifi calling on my Honor View 10 and that works with Three.
As OP6 doesn't appear to need special firmware to have Wifi calling, unlike say a Samsung S9+ - I would assume it's there?

Yeah that option isn't available for me on the OP6.
I do have WiFi calling on my Note 8, didn't need to do anything.

Odd. I would have thought the option was available to everyone - as the OP6 isn't carrier specific and doesn't have special firmware.
its up to your mobile operator which devices to support

Might try another factory reset later with just a single sim.

Not the point we're trying to make. The option for Wifi Calling in menu will be there regardless of whether the operator supports it. Some phones need a firmware from the operator to see it. But shouldn't be the case with the OP6 as there are no other firmwares, it's independent.
Nokia 3/5 - has Wifi calling option (as does iPhone) whether operator supports it or not.

That's worrying, I rely on WiFi calling in my flat right now since I get no signal at all (very thick concrete walls).
WiFi calling works flawlessly on Three on my iPhone, so if it turns out Three doesn't support it on the OP6, I might have to switch to O2/EE, both of whom have WiFi calling that works with OnePlus.
I actually went on live chat with Three a few days ago to complain about the lack of signal and WiFi calling not working on some Android devices - they first said to just use the Three inTouch app, to which I said it is garbage and barely works half the time. Eventually they caved in and gave me a £3 discount on my monthly bill. When I didn't accept that, they gave me £4... and then £5. Eventually they sent me over to the complaints team who gave me credit on my account equivalent to 2 months worth of bills and said I can cancel the contract free of any charges whenever I want.
Point is, if WiFi calling doesn't work on the OP6, go and complain to live chat, you'll get a discount on your contract or even better... and do not accept the initial offer they give you.

Yeah I did but there is no branding to say so
New to this forum. Just got my Motorola One Hyper today. Am I able to make wi-fi calls on this phone? When I go to my Settings, Wi-Fi Calling is grayed out. If I long press it, Wi-Fi Calling comes up, but again, the screen is grayed out. It will not allow me to enable it. I am connected to my home wi-fi network, so that is not the problem. Thanks in advance.
It depends on your carrier, call customer service and ask if they use wifi calling. It works for me on T-Mobile on both stock and omni out of the box.
Beyond that, make sure you are updated to the latest stock firmware. The last update fixed volte and vowifi.

Thanks for the response. After the phone went through all of its updating, the wi-fi issue solved itself. But I have another question. This phone was labeled as "International version" when I purchased it. I discovered that it's actually (RETLA), thus the instructions only came in Spanish. Will this be an issue using it in the USA?
Thanks
What's the model number?
Mine is xt2027-1
If it's xt2027-3, you might be missing some lte bands...

Mine is also xt2027-1. Just out of curiosity, what are lte bands, and why are they important?

Go to the link below, it compares the bands different models of our phone operate on. If more bands are compatible with your network, your network reception will improve.
