[Q] How to confirm HD Voice on S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there any way currently to confirm HD Voice enablement on the S4? It doesn't look like the S3 service menu's work to confirm AMR-WB is turned on.
Thanks!

Don't know if there's a way, but the safest bet would be to ask your carrier. If your carrier doesn't support HD Voice, then the option is off by default and can't be used. If it's supported by your carrier, should be active and working.

Enable voLTE on Galaxy Note 4?

Hello,
I am currently with T-Mobile and own a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910U model, the exynos variant. Is there a way to enable voLTE on this device through some menu? My carrier supports this feature and I know my phone does as well, but it is disabled because the data drops to 3g whenever I make a call.
Anyone?
On mine is in the menu

Hmmn.. Mine isn't in the call menu. It must be in some hidden menu.
Have you used the search function in settings?

Yes I have, but it is no where could be found. I am going to contact Samsung later.
Don't see it on my sm-n910c either.

I confirmed with Samsung that the device indeed has support for voLTE if your carrier supports it. They informed me that it should be turned on by default, which is a lie because my carrier has voLTE and whenever I make a call, the data drops to 3g.

In Japan......if we bring a self acquired device and use it on their network.......certain feature will not work.
Like VOLTE....as I just discovered. They have a separate APN for other devices and it does not support VOLTE.
The other APN that their carrier branded phones use....recognizes the phones based off of their IMEI number.
So.....it might not be a phone issue. Could be your carrier skimming on certain features for phones purchased elsewhere.
Don't see it on my sm-n910f either
hi all, i don't see the menu in my SM-N910F
In your opinion, Is it possible that VOLTE works only on Note4 Exynos? and doesn't works on Snapdragon based Note4 ?

thanks but i don't want to invalidate the guarantee.
Guys I also have a N910C Exynos Variant and its quite frustrating to know that a flagship device doesn't support VoLTE !
You won't find it in system settings

Just go to 'Phone' & then tap on 3 vertical dots and then select 'settings' and then select 'call' and after that enable VOLTE
can someone explain me what is the purpose of Volte? for what you use this?

volte is Voice Over LTE. It is basically what it says on the tin. You can make voice calls over LTE internet connections.
VoLTE (HD voice) and Wifi Calling WORKS with the SM-N910T.
I am currently using this device, with "MetroPCS by T-Mobile". As of 01-29-2021, T-Mobile will only allow the SM-N910T to work on their network. The "T" variant only, because it is T-Mobile's own device. VoLTE (HD voice) will work if you use OEM stock Android 6.0.1.
Here's how I enabled VoLTE (HD voice) and Wifi Calling:
Backed up ALL my files.
Removed SIM and SD cards.
Made sure battery had at least 80% !!
(If using a generic battery, it must be 100%. They drain faster!)
Used Odin (v3.13.1) to flash/install lastest Stock Android 6.0.1. (This wiped everything, even storage, pics, etc.) First boot took over 20 mins!
After reboot, connected to WIFI.
Went to phone's Settings, About Device, Software Updates, and tapped Download Updates Manually. This caused it to find a modem (baseband) update. I chose to install it NOW. It did just that, and rebooted.
Powered off phone.
Reinstalled SIM and SD cards.
Turned phone on, and VoLTE (HD voice) was fixed. Whenever I speak with another HD caller, "HD" appears next to their name.
To enable Wifi Calling, go to Settings, More Networks, Wi-Fi Calling, and enable it.
CAUTION / Extra Info:
A few days ago, I broke the screen on my primary SM-N910T. The screen would not light up, and it did not respond to any touches. I went to a MetroPCS store, to move my account to another SM-N910T. The sales rep said he could not move my account to the other device, showed me his computer screen as "proof", and said it needed to be HD voice compatible. I told him both phones are identical, and both had VoLTE working perfectly. Then he offered to try it anyway for $29 (non-refundable). I politely declined, went home, and swapped the motherboards. All is fine again. I shared this story in case you encounter similar resistance, and need to tell the sales rep you are willing to take a (non-refundable) chance. And to warn you that T-Mobile might have made some changes, that I am not aware of. However, I am currently using the SM-N910T.

VoLTE on Nexus 6 from Verizon

I went here , clicked on "Free Products", and found that my Nexus 6 was eligible for HD Voice. I signed up, checked out (for free), and it said that my phone now has HD Voice. The FAQ explains how to verify that it's actually working, as follows:
To verify Advanced Calling 1.0 is ready to use on an Android phone:
Open the Contacts app.
Tap on the Groups tab.
If you see a group named "Video Calling," this indicates that Advanced Calling 1.0 is ready for use.
Note: If you don't see the Video Calling group, turn off your phone and turn it back on again. If you still don't see it, verify that the latest software is installed on your phone.

My phone didn't pass that test, but I don't know if that's because I'm rooted. Or whether I'm confusing "HD Voice" with "Advanced Calling" which maybe I am. Kind of confusing.
I just tried this and was unable to send or receive calls. Kept getting all circuits are busy until I took it off my account.

Yea I'm sure volte isn't enabled for the n6 right now on any network.

There needs to be a software update to our phones to make it work. now that vz is for sure getting the phone we should have a way to do that soon.

Right, but it's confusing that the Nexus 6 is identified as "eligible" for HD Voice, given that HD Voice is part of Advanced Calling, which is Verizon's name for VoLTE. But I suppose it's not remarkable that there is misleading and confusing information on Verizon's website.

hd voice isnt the same as volte. tmobile has had hd voice for a while now, and volte is only voice over lte. two differing things.

That's what I mean when I say the Verizon site is confusing. Here's what the FAQ says:
What is Advanced Calling?
Advanced Calling 1.0 is a first generation suite of services enabled by VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology. VoLTE is a new technology platform that delivers voice calls over the 4G LTE network instead of the traditional voice network.
The benefits of Advanced Calling 1.0 include:HD Voice
1-way or 2-way video calls* (including support for video calls over Wi-Fi)
6-way conference calls​
What is HD Voice?
HD Voice delivers clearer, natural-sounding audio when both parties are using HD Voice-enabled phones that are connected to our 4G LTE network.​
Reading that, and seeing that my phone was "eligible" for HD Voice, made me think that maybe VoLTE was being rolled out for the Nexus 6. Obviously it wasn't, but you can see the source of the confusion.

ah, i see. it is a little confusing how they set it up. seems like they have hd calling on their volte enabled line. tmibile does it on their non volte enabled lines. but both caller and reciever have to have hd calling for it to work.

My understanding is that the Nexuz 6, while it will support Advanced Calling (VoLTE), it will only support HD Voice and not HD Video - just like the iPhone 6/6 Plus. So that test is actually moot.

Source?
I just added this feature to my account and nothing happened. Calls still work and the "LTE" label still disappears from above the signal icon (meaning the data connection is still going away during calls, and therefor VoLTE isn't working).
It can't be a coincidence that Verizon sees the N6 as compatible. My wife's Verizon Note 4 comes up as not compatible, for example. So, they must be enabling certain models on purpose and they enabled the N6.
My assumption is that there will be a software update to enable this on the N6 by default at some point before the phone launches on Verizon. However, maybe there is a way to manually enable it now? Does anyone know of any dialer codes or settings that relate to VoLTE? Is VoLTE working on any other carrier?

no other carrier has it yet, and verizon just started rolling it out(and most likely its not in your area yet).
I have a question.... When Verizon do release the update to initiate VOLTE for this phone will someone be able extract for us non Verizon nexus 6 owners to download it? Advanced calling is initiated on my account because I had the g3 so I'm hoping we can get the update when its released.

Not possible.
Google is adding in the standardized backend interface to have VoLTE working, but I am pretty much going to assume that it will be implemented carrier by carrier basis since there is also going to need to be changes to how towers/carriers hand off the protocol.

Pretty sure he meant would it be possible to add it to a non-Verizon purchased Nexus running on Verizon's network. Not to port Verizon's VoLTE to another carrier.
That being said, it's pretty much impossible to answer until we know how Verizon implements this. If I had to guess I would say it could be added to the /oem partition similar to AT&T's stuff. Either way, I would say it's pretty likely it would be added to any device running with a Verizon sim.
We all need to remember that Volte is only available in a few cities yet
Just for giggles I added the Advanced Calling to my cart. (I didn't check out).. I noticed that it was going to remove ringback tones if I proceeded. Weird.

Do you have a source for that? You could very well be right, but from reading verizon's website, it sounded like it was supposed to work anywhere with lte coverage.

It is LTE and phone compatibility dependent, not area. Unless your area does not have LTE.
I would imagine once 5.1 hits we will have volte/advanced calling on verizon. However none of this will work until verizon officially activates and allows this phone on their network as more than an unrecognized device. Like others have said though google still has some backend work to do to make it possible on their end as well.

Native Video Calling outside of AT&T

Can anyone tell me if there's a mod that will let me make a video call to another carrier? I paid outright for my phone and it's now carrier unlocked. I still can't seem to make it happen.
Tango is an app that will work..

Hii.
My name is Nayan Sarma. I own a Oneplus 3 from india.
I m using oneplus 3 with reliance jio sim. I would like to know if there is any possibility that i can use it for native video calling without using the data connection. If not why and if possible can somebody guide me in this matter or to related posts or websites. Lyf smartphones under reliance digital uses native video calling without using mobile data connection or wifi. Dont wanna use other apps that are easily available in the playstore that uses quite mobile data.
Thanks in advance and please forgive for my english.
Thanks
