WiFi calling on T Mobile - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

Anyone working on or have an idea on how to force enable WiFi calling on T Mobile? I doubt that we can use the OEM file from the XZ1 Compact like we could with the XZ1

Posting here just so people see it:
Have a J9210 (Global). Flashed it to US Android 9 firmware, VoWiFi and VoLTE worked on T-Mobile US (but there were no toggles).
Flashed to EE UK Android 10 firmware, no VoLTE or VoWiFi works on T-Mobile US. Still no toggles.
Update: Now that US firmware is out, I flashed it and VoLTE works--phones stays connected via LTE while on a phone call. Doesn't appear VoWiFi works--used to show on the phone app during a call that it was connected over WiFi.

VoWifi

Hi!
I'm trying to enable voice over WIFI, my network provider supports it, it was working fine with Iphone6s, now i switched to Note10 and i can't enable this to work.
On the Mi 9 you need certain codes: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/wifi-calling-volte-mi-9-t3917887
Maybe try those and see if you have any luck?
May I ask where you bought your phone and in what country and what network you are trying to use wifi calling?
On the Mi 9 thread, there are reports that wifi calling doesn't work as well with all networks; eg with Vodafone UK the option to prefer wifi over mobile network isn't available, so wifi calling is available only when there is no mobile signal.
Hi. I entered the codes, the option is there, but it's not working. I'm from Slovenija, my operator is Telekom Slovenije, the phone is from Gearbest store...
Search vowifi 4pda and find topic about mi8 vowifi
You'll need root.

Finally VOWIFI Available- INDIA

I am Android Q with January security patch, and today I just suddenly saw that VOWIFI is enabled on my jio sim without any update, so it’s a carrier side setting which got enabled from back-end, finally now I can use the phone with wifi where coverage is very low.
Edit: Jio official Website listing for nokia phones on which VOWIFI is available now

TELSTRA Australia Users - I have VoWiFi all of a sudden!!??

Cant remember what exactly what I did, but I followed guides here;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/force-enable-volte-vowifi-t3934227
&
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-activate-volte-vowifi-t4116051
and
The later being the most recent. Whats even more surprising I have previously heavily de-bloated this rom using xXx No Limits to the extent VoWiFI and LTE feature aren't even available (but I understand changes carry forward as they are saved to the EFI partition)
Anyways, going to dive into to see what exact setting I enabled and will post back.
Any other Telstra users notice they have VoWiFI this morning?
Edit: Updated with PDC Setting for Telstra Volte & VoWiFi :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Yea, so I know have VOLTE as well!! Really a nice surprise this morning because reception hasn't been the best at home. Anyways,
I have a GM1910 (Chinese ver of One Plus 7 Pro 256Gb / 12GB running OOS 9.5.13 GM21AA with xXx No Limits magisk rom + Kirisakura custom kernel.
I have all installation files backed up as well as some are not hosted by the ops anymore.
What I need to figure out are the specific change I made to the IMEI with the qpst programs... I don't think I did anything to major in the end there, it was months ago and didn't yield any affect.
Any Telstra users have VOLTE and VoWiFi without having done anything!?
I'll post later today my PDC settings

Updated post with req. PDC setting, can someone confirm if working on their end too?
No such luck on my end. I have the same model and have tried a few versions to no avail. I have had volte pop up before, but the moment I made a call it switched back to 3G. Have you confirmed them to be working? I need vowifi, i have no reception at home. Sick of facebook calling...

I just made an additional discovery, you also need to have "My Telstra" app installed as well just as a normal app and have run it at least once then reboot. Have you tried that?
Also, in you Sim settings you have VOLTE and WiFi calling enabled?
Volte and VoWiFi are working here, during call it he phone app will advise call is over vowifi
I'm SOL.
Got a HD1913 1+ 7T Pro.
Tried everything but cant get VoLTE or VoWIFI to work on Telstra.
Running Firmware 10.0.10.HD01AA
Have all the options enabled under Sim1 and through *#*#4636#*#* its all enabled.
Unfortunately no VoLTE sign or VoWIFI when calling. HD symbol works during calls, but thats about it.
Even have the Telstra App installed and full permissions.
UPDATE****
So i put the phone into aeroplane mode and enabled only wifi, tried to do a call and it failed, then BAMMM! VoWIFI enables itself and now I have VoWIFI enabled.
UPDATE 2****
VoLTE has enabled itself too. Looks like the trick for Telstra is to go into aeroplane mode, make a call with wifi enabled only, accept that it says called failed and it should enable VoWIFI and VoLTE.
Happy Days!!!
I'm also on Telstra (Boost mobile) and managed to get VoLTE and VoWIFI working on my OnePlus 7 (non-pro version).
I followed the guide exactly as described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/guide-activate-volte-vowifi-t4116051
After I did all the steps, I rebooted and VOLTE didn't seem to work at first. But then I went into airplane mode and made a call with only Wifi enabled as kw0n2k suggested above. Then VoWIFI and VoLTE started working immediately.
When I was following the guide, the Logkit app preinstalled on my phone didn't have the VoLTE switches so I had to download the Logkit APK they recommended in the post.
For the VoLTE profile, I used "Telefonica_UK_Commercial" as mentioned in the post.

VoWifi on MIUI 12?

When the phone arrived, Miui had 11 systems on it. When you switch on for the first time, the VoWifi signal also appears next to the Telecom card. Then he immediately upgraded himself to Miui 12, there has been no VoWifi since. The switch (both VoLTE and VoWifi) is visible in the settings menu, but there is no VoWifi connection. You can also see in the call list that you are only making or receiving a VoLTE call. Has anyone else experienced this, or do I just have such "luck"?
Have you turn it on?
Sim cards & mobile networks -> Choose your sim card -> Tick on Make calls using Wi-Fi.
Maybe they removed your provider's profile. Vowifi also does not work in Telekom Hungary. I can switch on the vowifi in the menu but does not work. But someone reported it works on another operator, Digi. Also you may ask your operator not to deny vowifi in some reason after the software update.
My previous phone (MI 9SE) also had Android 10 and MIUI 12, this Telekom SIM worked. VOWIFI appeared in the status bar and there was a WIFI CALL note in the call list in addition to the calls.
WIFI appeared on the lock screen instead of Telekom.
Interestingly, both phones have Global (non-EU) ROMs.
It depends more likely whether the provider's profile exists in the firmware or not, and not likely depends on the Android version.
This unofficial link shows several devices for hungarian providers.

VoLTE on XA2 Ultra H4213 ??

I have been struggling with getting a definitive answer to the question if VoLTE is possible on the H4213.
I am led to believe VoLTE is a software ability that does leverage on some hardware requirement.
After not finding the .."enable VoLTE switch" in settings on the Stock Rom but getting info from SONY that the H4213 is a VoLTE capable device, I flashed LineageOS 19.1 plus some Gapps to the Sony.
All good! Now there is a VoLTE slider in settings but still unable to get VoLTE connection. The sim is supposed to be 4G/LTE only.
When I run Network Cell Info (Device+sim) and #4636# Sim shows as ready and Network Type as LTE and in service, VoLTE ,Video calling and WiFi calling provisioned .... but Device Telephony shows Phone Type as GSM and VoLTE capable - No. Same for WiFi Call avail - No and Video Call - NO.
I have been thinking of running VoLTE-fix to see if this fixes anything but that would be of no use if the device HW is not VoLTE capable.
Anybody out there that can say with certainty that the device is VoLTE capable.
I have a suspicion that the sim may be the issue here, as I am also struggling to connect to Mobile data on the sim and the APN information looks dodgy.
This is with RainOne in South Africa, and the surprising thing is that if the number of that sim is called I immediately receive an SMS that I had received a call . SMS and Whatsapp works.
Any light on this issue will be appreciated. Ideas, thoughts anything !
Thanks
