I have LG velvet 4g dual sim LM-G910EMW, is there any way to enable volte for use on t-mobile?
im having the same problem with my carrier (simple mobile). they are saying my LG Velvet 5g is not compatible with their network upgrade to VOLTE. The specs for my model, do indeed show that it is compatible. They keep trying to get me to "upgrade" to a new phone. Whats going on here?
So I followed the below directions from reddit and it worked great and I now have Volte, however phone still drops to 3g when it makes a call any thoughts on how to fix that?
There is a way to force enable VoLTE on the "LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim" specifically your version which is the "LM-G910EMW".
By default the feature is disabled on this model variant for who knows why.
Follow the steps below: 1. Click on the "Phone" app and dial "##4636##" -If done correctly it'll automatically bring you to the "testing" settings menu.
Click on "Phone Information" -you should see a list of VoLTE settings however by default they are disabled and greyed out but don't worry there's a way to reactivate VoLTE. (You Will Come Back to this Menu later)
Go to your file app and create a file named "enable_ue" -thats all you need to do just create the file, nothing more nothing less.
Go back to the "Phone" App and dial "#*462633*#910#" -This code is specific to the variant and will not work on other non LM-G910EMW Phones. Dialing this should bring up the "Hidden LG Menu"
Select Field Test>Universal Enabler>Create New Config -a menu with check boxes for VoLTE options appearing
Select the boxes as follows "VoLTE" "ViLTE" "VoWifi" "ViWifi" And finally hit "Confirm" -a prompt will appear stating "Vo Services Updated"
Immediately restart your phone to allow the settings to kick in
After your phone has restarted go into your Settings>Network & Internet>Mobile Networks -If done correctly the VoLTE option will now be unlocked and available.
Switch on the "VoLTE"
Now to double check that your phone now truly has VoLTE enabled, repeat steps 1-2. If done correctly the menu should now say "VoLTE Provisioned Video Calling Provisioned Wifi Calling Provisioned " -if these 3 are all switched on then you have successfully force enabled VoLTE on your LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim LM-G910EMW, congratulations!
Sorry I'm not so good, can you help me please regarding this:
Go to your file app and create a file named "enable_ue" -thats all you need to do just create the file, nothing more nothing less.
I would like to know how to create this file, as I think I didn't do the job so I'm block when I enter Unviersal Enabler, it say: not supported
Thanks in advance for your help
In the upper right of your file manager there should ne three dots, click on that and it will show new folder, new file, etc.
Some file managers do not have a new file option so you may have to download a different file manager. I used 3c as my file manager.
Hi,
Can you please share the path where we need to add the file name as "enable_ue" and it will be 0 byte file right?
I just added it to the main storage and yes it was 0 byte
Will this work on the 900TM variant? I used 900 instead of 910 to get the hidden menu and it came up but i can't seem to get the volte button to enable in the menus.
If you have one variant of a Qualcomm LG Velvet can you turn on VOLTE by selecting the stock firmware for a different Velvet variant? Basically I wondere if an lmg900tm can be turned into an lmg900um. [NOTE: upon further investigation, the VOLTE feature may depend more on the SIM card and not on the firmware. There is an explanation here from Quora.com:
Is VoLTE activation dependent on the SIM card or just on the device model and the operator?
The phone has to be VoLTE compatible, that is the hardware itself must be able to handle VoLTE in terms of what it implies: band, frequencies and so on.
Then, the phone has to be provisioned to operate with VoLTE, in simple terms that means that the phone must be enabled or allowed to work with VoLTE, this is done wither by the manufacturer or by the operator. There are phones that even while they are VoLTE capable, the manufacturer of the operator won’t provision them to use VoLTE. One such case are the Google Pixel phones that are perfectly capable of VoLTE. but, if you insert a SIM card of a country where Pixels are not officially sold and supported, then Google has the phone set to disable VoLTE (and 5G as well).
Then, the SIM used in that VoLTE capable phone and VoLTE provisioned phone has to be of the right version. Some operators won’t provide VoLTE service if you don’t have a SIM with a minimum version (and thus SIM firmware and configuration).
Lastly, you have to be physically present on the network that has VoLTE capabilities. You could have all of the above, but, if you are in the middle of a desert or in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, probably VoLTE is not going to work…and neither 4G or 5G…
Is VoLTE activation dependent on the SIM card or just on the device model and the operator?
Answer: VoLTE activation is controlled by the device depending on the SIM and network operator. Of course the phone has to be VoLTE capable in the first place. Each device has an internal database that uses one or more of the SIM files as key to retrieve various parameters about the operator own...

There you have it, that is pretty much in simple terms, what is needed to enjoy VoLTE with your smartphone.

I'm on Sprint and was never able to make or receive calls regardless of Network settings in the easily accessible options menu after flashing the P Preview.
The following fixed my issue. You can access this menu without downloading an app but I forget how so it's easier to just download the free app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
I had my network mode set to LTE/CDMA when first using this app, and somewhere in the middle I changed it to CDMA but I'm not sure how much that impacted the actual fix.
These were my steps. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause to your device as I'm not sure if messing with these settings is foolproof or not.
First, opened previously linked app "Force LTE" then under "Set Preferred Network Type" I changed to CDMA only. Enabled/disabled airplane mode. This seemed to do nothing as LTE was still showing in statusbar.
I then chose CDMA auto (PRL), airplane mode on/off, didn't seem to do much either. LTE still showed in statusbar and couldn't make calls. Also "Voice Network Type" showed "Emergency Calls only" inside the app.
I then chose the 3 dot menu and chose "select radio band". I changed that to United States, without resolving problem. Then selected "Cellular 800" and this may have solved the problem, but I continued on and selected PCS, fiddled with some settings in Phones settings menu. Was finally able to receive calls and my signal indicator showed 3G. In app Voice Network Type was listed as 1xRtt. I decided to select radio band once more and chose Class 10.
Calls were still functioning fine. So I went into Main settings menu and changed mobile network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA. LTE kicked in and calls still work!
Again, these settings may only work for Sprint hence the PCS Network option, and I believe Sprint may utilize the 800mhz frequency. The app might show you different options depending on your carrier. I don't know.
Anyway, fully functioning! Woohoo!!
Android P cannot make calls
I found an easier way
1. Remove your sim card from your phone, and turn off phone
2. Insert a different Sim from anywhere and restart the phone.
3. Try using the phone to make calls
4. Turn off the phone and remove the Sim card
5. Insert the main sim card( your original Sim card) and restart your phone
6. After start allow the phone to automatically reconfigure your network
This method worked for me. Hope it helps someone out there

Thanks, somewhat easier if ya have an extra sim.
I have a SM-G955U that's GSM unlocked. It was originally an Xfinity phone, but I'm now using it on mertopcs. Mero supports active data while talking on the phone. But my S8+ disables my data while making a call. I do not have root, is there a way to keep my data while talking on the phone?
Try this settings/ connections/ mobile networks/ VoLTE Calls. I think that's the option you're looking for
That option doesn't appear when I go there...
I've checked through the phone app and the settings menu, nothing like that appears anywhere.

I think this option depends on the carrier itself you're using some carriers doesn't support vollte so this option will not be enabled by default. My carrier supports vollte.
Next to 4G or LTE icon vollte will appear like the picture below
https://mega.nz/#!zZBAAaaA!UJM62RS1-M0NwU7Tu1X_wpXiGKf3QXWQlSf3OB41qe0
The original carrier for this phone did not support vol LTE by the carrier I'm using now does support it. It was originally Xfinity and now I'm with MetroPCS.

Maybe flash the MetroPCS firmware or unlocked firmware.
You don't need use VoLTE to talk and browse at the same time, if your carrier doesn't support VoLTE your cell phone will perform a CS Fall Back to UMTS and then (if your carrier support MULTI RAB) your cell phone will make MULTI RAB, one RAB CS to voice and one RAB PS to data. The problem is when you are using 2 sim cards, if you make a call from one sim card and the data came from the other sim card, the Galaxy S8+ will block the other sim card in a call.
So to call and use data at the same time you will need VoLTE in LTE or Multi RAB in UMTS but must be the same sim card.
I have the european variant LM-V500EM of LG V50 which I was under the impression had a wifi calling / vowifi option. I've used the quickshortcut maker app and can see the option is there in the backend of the settings com.android.settings.Settings$Wifi CallingSettingsActivity. I can even open it and toggle it to on but it doesn't appear to do anything and still won't show in the regular call settings.
I've spoken to a number of UK networks who say it should work and spoken to LG directly who say wifi calling is unavailable for this variant/model and only the EE variant has WIFI calling. It's pretty frustrating that a function which the phone clearly is capable of is unusable.
Has anyone got any workarounds for this as I'm tearing my hair out here and don't want to have to sell the phone as apart from this it's great.
Thanks
I've been in engineering mode *#546368#*500# and SVC Menu / VoWIFI / W-Fi Toggle to ON but wifi calling still doesn't appear in the main settings.
Can this be enabled OTA by the right network carrier eg. EE , 3 etc ?
I've got the same phone, same problem.

Hi,
What is EE variant? I never seen it before and I can't find it in net.
I know only those variants:
V450PM
V450VM
V500EM
V500N
So, I've got a Galaxy S10e, with a model number G970U1, and the entire reason I bought this thing was so that I could use voice over LTE on AT&Ts network - it was one of the model numbers listed that was supported by AT&T, however, the phone itself, while being brand new, was originally a Verizon phone, as the phones CSC states that it is XAA/XAA/VZW. Upon insertion of my ATT sim card, the phone did not adapt to being an ATT CSC, even though it has the OYM software that should have the ATT CSC in it. I have tried a ton of things to try to get it to switch CSCs, from flashing an ATT CSC in Odin, to just doing resets with and without the sim card in, to literally paying $35 for Samkey to try their CSC changer, but simply doesn't work. nothing I do will get this thing to switch to the ATT CSC.
Anyways, as a consequence of not running the ATT CSC, VoLTE does not work. ATT has already provisioned the phone for VoLTE but the phone simply doesn't automatically acquire an IMS registration upon boot. I've discovered after many hours of trial and error, a way to make VoLTE work, but I can't find a way to make the fix stick between boots. This is where I'm hoping somebody else can come in and help. I'm looking to try to get the phone to stop automatically discovering IMS settings since I think it's this very auto discovery that is causing my fix not to stick.
Here is what I have to do every time the phone reboots to get volte working:
Open Alliance Shield X, go to App Manager
Search for IMS settings, click it, go to activities, and then launch the IMS settings menu with the first activity in the list.
Go to the IMS service settings, upon clicking of the IMS service settings, ALL of the toggles for RCS and MMTEL will be off and the upper left corner says "ATT US" - I toggle all of the toggles on and wait about 10 seconds
Go to settings, about, sim card status, and at this point my IMS registration status should have gone from not registered, to registered, however, VoLTE still doesn't work at this point.
Switch back to the IMS settings menu, go back a page and then click "Reset to default" to reset all IMS settings to default. Here is where things get strange - at this point, the IMS settings menu will claim I am using the T-Mobile IMS settings - but at this point my IMS registration status will remain registered, and VoLTE will work properly until I restart the phone.
I want to try to keep these settings, but like I said, once I reboot the phone, it gets the ATT IMS settings and VoLTE will refuse to work, and my IMS will not be registered.
Any advice?

Do you absolutely HAVE to have ATT? You would likely get better results with T-mobile.

Not necessarily, but the issue is that I've got 6 lines on AT&T, with some of the phones not being paid for.
You might try this method. Download the Latest same firm tool. Hit this tool is basically used for removing the FRP lock on phones, and it actually does work for that, but one other feature the program has is the ability to change the CSC code on your firmware. Which it did successfully, until the phone was rebooted and then it locked back on to AT&t. So the trick I think would be that after you use the tool and before you reboot the phone do whatever you're going to do because it you can change it to xas or xaa in which case it's unlocked and you should be able to manipulate it. I have never actually done this but in theory I think it might work good luck brother keep fighting the good fight
I activated my VOLTE for my unlock TMObile phone V600TM running on the latest android 12 version 30f by just the below commands
enter dial, type *#546368#*600#
Field test
IMS setting
Test
PreferenceOperator put OPEN
Preference country put MY (according to your country example Indonesia would be IND or America with be the US and so on)
Tick the 2 options below
✓ Support Volte on Command
✓ Volte setting enabled
restart ims process
Once done go to the mobile network option and add the below APN(not sure if this APN is universal but it works for me in Malaysia in all the carriers so I guess you can give it a try) don't delete the existing APN
APN: ims
APN name: ims
APN type: ims
after that restart your phone and you will see the VOLTE sign appearing next to the wifi symbol and so on. Make sure your 4G signal is strong enough if not it won't appear.
Also, I notice when I use the 4636 commands to check it still says IMS is not registered and Volte is not provision but I can use Volte maybe this is the bypass as I tested the call and so on already just make sure your Sim card supports or is Volte activated as well.
Also the Volte setting wont appear in Mobile network but it will work with the VOLTE icon appearing
My TMObile V600TM phone is network locked.
How to unlock it? if yes could you please point me out?
thanks

Lg phones g8x, g8, v60, velvet Volte enable for all carriers, unlisted countries also
I will try to keep this post as small as possible. This will enable Volte for Phone ranging from Lg g8x, g8 and V60 without root or modifying the system files. Many have posted ways to get it, Iam only trying to help out the small bits missing...
forum.xda-developers.com
thanks to the OP for this thread, really pushing for these amazing devices to live on, you can follow my first steps to get the IMS option to open up.
Tried it on V600TM30C in Greece (GR) Cosmote and worked! Thank you! I have tried other ways (rooting,etc) but none worked so far.
I have also tried it on V600EA10 but I couldn't enter IMS settings menu and the johndaniel tutorial didn't seem to work, so I restored my back up to V600TM30C. I still need to find a way to have 5G.
anyone tried Lg v60 L-51a ???
