Voice Break during call

Hi All,
I am from India. I have 2 sim cards from service providers Airtel and Jio. when i make/receive a call through Jio, the other person can hear clearly. But when i make/receive a call through Airtel, the oher person can hear my breaking voice. for example if i say: "Hi, How are you?" they will only hear "H_ __w __r_ y"
while testing with a continuous voice, i found that the breaks in between have exactly same gap time (approx 1 sec).
Also, this only happens only in 3g/4g mode. if i put the airtel network in 2g mode, there is no voice break.
I also got the sim card changed, but it is the same in new sim card as well.
I tried swapping the sim slots, it is the same in both the slots.
I tried putting the sim in other phone, and it works fine.
the question is, if my phone has problem, how does Jio work fine on both the slots? and if there is problem with Airtel network/sim card, how does it work well in other phone or in the same phone with 2 mode?
I am really confused, and tried searching for a solution on the web. I tried switching off Noise cancellation, switching off "OK google" as well.
Some help / guidance would be really appreciated...
Note: Jio is VOLTE based network and Airtel is normal 4G

Hello,
am having the exact same problem. Jio on Volte and Idea on normal 2g (i suppose because there is only one common setting fro both sims i.e 2G/3G/4G Automatic). Jio works fine but idea call breaks on every call i receive and the calls i make. Any solution ?

Its related with h+ you wont have any issues with 2 g or 4g that h+ issue is killing me

Hey I am facing the same issue. Your problem solved by some one .. or still facing the same yet.

No Network on Essential phone in India

I am currently in India, and trying to use my Essential PH1 with a Vodafone India 4G sim card. The SIM is not registering with the phone, and I am unable to get any network. I keep getting the message "your SIM is not allowed to use this network". I have tried contacting the local service center, but they tell me that the handset settings need to be changed. The same SIM works well with other phones in India.
I am using a Vodafone India 4G sim.. its a 'postpaid' connection (if that matters). When I manually select the network, all the available networks are listed, when I select "choose automatically", a message pops up "already registered on the network", but i dont get any signal.
When I manually try to select Vodafone IN from the list, pop up message says "your SIM is not allowed to use this network"
I have checked with Vodafone customer care, and they are sure its a phone config issue.
The same SIM works perfectly fine in any other handset. (Currently running the same SIM in Nexus 5)
Since this phone has not been launched in India yet, there is no technical knowledge or troubleshooting database available locally. Would you be able to help me with the correct settings so that the I can continue using the phone in India?

HI
I am having the same Issue with my phone, just bought it from US. indian SIMS not registering, were you able to find a solution for this?
Thanks

No.. not yet. The Essential customer care was supposed to get back, but they are not responding since the last couple of days. Do keep in touch if you are able to find a solution...

Hi
Received an OTA today for the device, Airtel and Vodafone are now registering ,. Jio is not able to register.
Cheers

I'm having a similar problem in Japan with Softbank, which ironically bought Sprint - the sole carrier of the phone in the USA.
There is no signal at all, and when selecting Softbank manually from the list of carriers, an error message stating it can't authenticate on the network popped up.

I faced the same issue a week ago, with both Airtel and Jio not registering the device on their networks. Yesterday, I booted up the phone again, installed the OTA, and was on my way to the Airtel store to talk about it. When I put in my SIM and turned it on, it got a signal and LTE data. I didn't try the same with Jio.
The most likely reason for the phone not being detected initially is that Essential has just one SKU, as far as I know, with all IMEIs of the 99x series. That's the typical IMEI series for Verizon and Sprint in the US, which are CDMA networks. Most other GSM IMEIs are of the 35x series.
I had planned to contact Essential support about this, but I didn't get down to it. I'm not sure what exactly made it work the second time. Maybe the OTA update changed something, or maybe Airtel took a while to auto-register (whitelist) the IMEI of this phone after it first detected it being used with a legitimate Airtel SIM. Regardless, it works just fine now.
NOTE: After I was able to get a signal, I could see the LTE symbol with no internet connectivity. I changed the preferred network type to "Global" in Settings and then it worked just fine. The default setting of LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA didn't allow data, only calls and SMS.

Yes am too facing same problem with essential PH1
used all operator Indian 4g / 3g sim card
even cdma also ...no result ...no network
Product Name -Mata
Variant Openus
Baseband 2.0.c4-M1.2
Secure boot Yes
Device State Locked
anyone some clue ???
regards,

When using outside of the U.S.A change network type to Global. Secondly insert the Sim (with the phone turned off). You should receive service when you turn the device on. In case you don't, give it a moment.
I had to replace my Sim as a last resort and then it worked without a problem.
Good luck.

VoLTE is working on Mate9 finally (kind of)!

My phone is MHA-AL00C00 and I want to use VoLTE in Rogers network. But the menu of volte is missing and I heard some body using C636 and enabling Volte in US T-Mobile networking. So I re-brand my phone to C636B191. But still there is no VOLTE menu available. Then I used QuickShortcutMaker to enable WIFI calling setting anyway. Then I upgraded to Andorid O(MHA-L29 8.0.0.0.360(C636)) and I found Volte menu is available and it is enabled. But the real phone call is still back to 3G and there is no VOLTE icon in status bar. So I used another SIM card with VoLTE enabled in Iphone 6+ and I found there IS VOLTE ICON in status bar. Please see the attached screenshot and I placed a call and it didn't switch to 3G so it is real VOLTE call. But unfortunately this icon is gone after a while. I guess the Mate 9 phone is not VOLTE certified device in Rogers network.

I saw that but does not do anything, still my phone is switching from 4g to 3g when I do calls, I know my sim has VoLTE activated if I used with my carrier phone works fine.

Did you call to Rogers? How they did comment this?

From Rogers forum somebody mentioned to contact level 2 support to add your IMEI to Rogers database then you should be good to use volte.

Afaik, to get working VoLTE phone must support this and mobile operator too. And they will turn support by request if they can do it.

Just chat with Rogers and this function is not enabled on my account. After enabled you have to update your emergency address and submit to Rogers. I have done this on a Rogers iPhone 6. Now I have volte icon always.

On Mate 9 ? No fallback to 3G when calling?

Yes. no fall back to 3G when calling. But it only lasts 2 hours and this VoLTE is gone again. Re-chat with Rogers agent and they said it is not working on non-Rogers phone even you are lucky to get working for a while.
Sad!

Update:
This morning I just found the VoLTE icon is shown on status bar. After place a call the call log shows it is a VoLTE call (It also indicates it is VoLTE call during the call)
It looks like Rogers remove VoLTE restrictions on non-Rogers phone.

If the IMEI on your account is VoLTE capable, then VolTE will work for non branded devices, as long as the imei doesn't change.

help Friends volte or not

Hi friends, I am a newbie here, got this LG stylus 2 from my aunt who lives in Australia. It shows model number LG Stylus DAB+. It's running Android 6.0.1.
Friends kindly tell me whether this phone is having volte, I have inserted the jio simcard but unable to make calls. Later I downloaded the Jio Voice app and then I was able to make calls.
But it is shown in many websites that this phone is having volte.
Thanks

VoLTE or WiFi calling working on Redmi Note 7?

Using Redmi Note 7 Global version, 4G+64G, MIUI 10.3.2.0.
VoLTE
I entered *#*#86583#*#* and dialler confirms that VoLTE carrier check is disabled (test page 4636 also shows VoLTE provisioning is ON).
On different phones using same SIM, same location, I see "HD" icon confirming "HD calling", or "VoLTE" but NOT on my Note 7.
And no new android menu items about VoLTE have appeared.
So, at first glance it seems that VoLTE is not working.
HOWEVER If I make a call, the display continues to show "4G+" and data keeps streaming, so VoLTE must be working, right? or maybe not?
WiFi Calling
I entered *#*#869434#*#* and test page now confirms that WiFi calling provisioning is ON.
And yes, a new menu item appears SIM card settings, "Make calls via WiFi". (OK so far)
However when I enable WiFi and disable mobile signal with flight mode, I cannot make a call. Dialler tells me "mobile network isn't available. Connect to a wireless network to make a call".
Also if I go to an area with no mobile coverage (instead of flight mode), same error.
I believe that my carrier (Three UK) is supposed to support VoWiFi.
So is WiFi calling broken in MIUI 10.3.2.0 ?

There should be a VoLTE icon when you open the notification shade. Works well for me, even though I have the MIUI 10.3.2 EU ROM, and I had to enter the *# code in order to get it working and for the toggles to appear under SIM settings

Thanks for the reply. Hmm yes, that's what I expected, but icon is definitely not there.
It's especially strange since I have definitely had VoLTE with the same SIM successfully on different devices.
What do you make of my phone staying on 4G during a call, does that suggest VoLTE is actually working?

If your 4G icon doesn't change into 3G (H) while in a call, I'd say VoLTE is working for you. It might be that there is something missing in the VoLTE handshake between the carrier and the phone, not passing all the checks and resulting in the phone not detecting "full VoLTE connectivity" and not showing the icon. If a call to another phone also using VoLTE starts ringing really quickly, if the sound quality is really good and your phone shows that it's connected to a 4G network, that should be it. HD or VoLTE icon or not, the functionality is there.
You said the same SIM has had VoLTE on other phones, so the carrier side should be OK. Although I suppose there might be a device whitelist on the carrier side – there sure was one when VoLTE was first introduced, as not all VoLTE-enabled devices were eligible for the service. At least that's how it was in my neck of the woods. So if all else fails, you might want to verify that with your carrier.
On the Redmi Note 7 though, as I said, it required that I enter the *# code for VoLTE. After that, the VoLTE toggle appeared under SIM and wireless settings. I can't tell if the toggle was in the "off" position when it appeared, but I'm quite sure that right after seeing or switching the toggle, I checked the status bar for a new icon, and there it was. No restart was required. You could try re-entering the code and seeing if the toggle appears (as in the screenshot).
Your profile states that you're in a brexiting location, which makes me think – do you have the Global ROM or the EU ROM? My MIUI version says PFGEUXM and VoLTE has been known to be disabled or not working in certain editions of MIUI.

I enabled VoLTE toggle and also Calling over Wi-fi but when I try to make a call it won't work saying I need to establish a cellular network connection.
Is there a way to make it work?

Your mobile carrier needs to have VoLTE enabled on your account to make it fully work

use *#*#86583#*#* as ON/OFF switch !
===================================
use it once = it turn VoLTE "ON"
use it second time = make VoLTE "OFF".
For "Use Wi-Fi to make and receive calls" type *#*#869434#*#* once.
for turning "OFF" use the same code (*#*#869434#*#*) second time.
Easy-peasy !
(btw. I'm on MIUI Global 10.3.6, no root, original ROM)

@kljoki
I have it exactly like this. Because when it is deactivated you can't see toggle options in settings.
I am on MIUI Global 10.3.10 Stable PFGMIXM
So what am I doing wrong.
My provider O2 Telefonica is supporting Volte?

Sorry I'm on Xiaomi Note 7 .
( I think there is no help from my side.)

Has anyone got WiFi Calling to actually work?
If so which carrier are you using?
Have the feature activated but like the other poster, I cannot make calls over WiFi (T-Mobile) made wonder if there's any additional steps needed to activate the service

Could someone already test if VoWIFI is working with the Miui11 Beta versions, plz?

Did you already get any answer or news about it ?
Derpfast-Rom is unfortunately not updated any more - had VoWifi working...

Have a feeling they disabled it on purpose to not canabalize their higher end model sales.
It's been the same story since MIUI 10.3.5

I'm using latest crdroid with no success on this subject. BUT i use TIM Brazil carrier so i believe this is not a rom related issue, but a device+carrier issue.

VoLTE has worked great for me from the start. Had to enter the VoLTE code in the dialer to get the switch in the options to appear though.
VoWIFI - what's your motivation to use that? I have good coverage where I live and I'd rather have a real cell phone call than for it to go through my home or office wifi without QoS set up to prioritize voice calls.

is it right that vowifi doesnt work with miui 11.0.5 on my redmi note 7? VoLTE works?

Unfortunately I'm just having wifi during work inside my hospital.
Means I'm not getting any calls on my mobile as a backup. Quite disappointing. :/
Update:
By a HowTo in the german android-Forum I made it possible to activate VoWifi on my Redmi Note 7 , without rooting or bootloader unlocking.
Had to delete row_commercial profile and activated Commercial MTS for Telefonica in Germany.
Works perfectly -. @Antaril

I'm curious how they determined Row Commericial must be deleted.
That's what my phone defaulted to and showed as active under the Sub0 column when I connected it to PDC
