Asus has rolled out a new OTA update to the Zenfone Max Pro M1 smartphone, which adds the VoLTE support on Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular networks. The smartphone already supports Jio VoLTE. Alongside the VoLTE support, Asus has also fixed some issues related to the camera and fingerprint scanner. The 1.4GB weighing FOTA update takes the smartphone to May 2018 security patch.

Bugs on this update.
It's a good update where the fingerprint sensor is working fast and the face unlock us working better too. However I got few bugs as well. The equilzer is not there anymore in the music app. also the gesture to wake the screen is not working most of the time. I hope they fixed it soon.

Make stock launcher as default home in Apps & notif.. -- default apps -- home.
Disable ZenMotion.
Enable dt2w and dt2s again and see if it is fixed.
Use default launcher for some time and then switch to your third party launcher.
This fixed it for me so may hopefully work for you as well

Equalizer has been removed as per the weird Google policy. You can install it from XDA, it's already posted here and it's working just like the stock. The wake screen issue I can't comment cause I don't have the device yet. Waiting for the 6GB variant and I think I'll be old before they release it.

Mostly no issues, except in the Hinjewadi IT park area where 4g speeds are not very good, so I just force it to use 3g, which works well there.

Which of the 7.0 roms for x727 have Wi-fi calling working for T-Mobile? It has been the only thing holding me back on stock. If one of them does how does it run is it stable enough to use? My workplace is a massive dead spot so I have to have wifi calling working.
It's a WIP. I think OmniROM is the closest to getting it working though. It requires VoLTE as a fallback (which Omni has.)

Thanks for the help bud. I'm sticking to stock for now then hoping we get stock updates from the Chinese version. I don't have much hope for getting anymore updates for the us version officially.
The new digits app works better than wifi calling. I tested it yesterday.
Sent from my LEX727 using Tapatalk
Any updates on this? WiFi calling is a critical feature. The Digits app has not been useful to me.
Hi,
How are you? Looks like we will need to load a custom rom in order to get updates.
Any problems with custom roms and VolLTE and wifi call?
regards,
Lineage 13 (not 14 yet) and Omni are the only two roms other than stock base that have TMobile Volte. Wifi calling only on stock base.

Agree since digits works better. Wifi calling often said unable to connect.
Personally I think the lack of Volte in all these custom roms is ridiculous. Seems like the forums are concentrating on IR and themes. Fix a basic phone issue first....this is a phone first is it not?

Yup, Volte is whats keeping me form buying the phone. Its at $250 on amazon. Thats a steal for the specs. This should be enough to hold me until next year when prices for the iphone 8, pixel 2 or note 8 would have drop a bit. I cant no longer justify paying $1000 for a phone when deals like this exist

How so? I haven't really looked at digits much. I thought it just let you share your phone number to other devices. Does it allow you to do wifi calling on a phone that doesn't have that ability built in?

I'm using lineage 13 and when I make a call the LTE icon either disappears or changes to something else (ex: 3G). Is there a setting I'm not finding or is it my modem firmware?
I know it's been a while, but.... Is VoLTE/VoWIFI working on LOS16 ROMs? I see an option in phone menu, but no indication that it's working. Is there a trick to enable it, such as hidden menu or something of the kind?

Yes upgraded to pie OTA without VPN and bands were missing. This morning's update is to me perfect. Can't find any bugs so far.
Got it here in Belgium. Checked and band 20 is back ?

A thread on a similar issue is already open in this forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/volte-option-gone-upgrade-to-android-8-t3884273
A fix for retaining the VoLTE that vanished after upgrading to Oreo via OTA for the Indian version users seem afar let alone for an imported/unlocked device.
Maybe a few more details might be handy for someone to help you out, like, if you've still got an active data connection, if there was a change in the phone that supposedly caused this, viz. an OS upgrade, etc like other users experienced.
No VoLTE on Jio equals no phone functionality, unless you've got their ad-packed Jio4G app for calls and messages.

4G Data connection works. I actually got it on eBay and at the time of purchase the listing was "Jio supported" but I could never check it then. I ported to Jio network recently(after Oreo update) and then only found out that no Volte is there. There is a toggle for Volte in settings but it is of no use.
I'm pasting the content that was copied from reddit on a similar issue
"You can download the QuickShortcutMaker app from the Play Store.
In the QSM app, search for 'Advanced Calling'. Press the down arrow next to 'Settings' in the list. Mine had 2 options. The first is 'AdvancedCalling' and other is 'AdvancedCallingSwitch'.
Choose one, and click 'Try it'."
The above italicised text is by the reddit OP.
This method worked for me. I didn't have the VoLTE toggle option though. You may want to give this a go.

The e-bay imports have almost always been a foxy business. I can't find it much different than OLX or Quikr. You can't really trust the biz unlike Flipkart/Amazon. Plus, US & other international variants may not fully agree with Indian standards.
Use the Jio SIM in slot 1.
Follow instructions from the previous post.

Their customer service was worst. They refused to even take a look at the device citing the reason that it's an unlocked model (H918) and not the official Indian model(H990DS).

LG did it the LG way and doomed a fantastic device. It was certain to fail from the start itself for being an LG. Then the screen retention came up making the process quicker. Sad to see how the first device to run Nougat out of box had to be stuck on Nougat for almost 2 years. They could only come up with Oreo for a flagship device at the time when even budget segment devices were starting to receive Pie.
Also heard a news that LG will bring Pie to V20 after all though only after Q3 2019 when others will be waiting for Android Q.
I strongly believe they will repeat that G4 Nougat fiasco with only a few regions getting an unoptimized build of Pie.
If any other manufacturer could build on the V Series model. The concept, design everything is brilliant but it just had that LG logo in the front.

Happy to help
I can't say this could be completely blamed on LG with issues of international variants of devices. Imported models could face compatibility issues. Even my issue might have arisen due to some setting i might have tweaked before the update. And, this is the one phone that i didn't try rooting.
What i felt wasn't initially welcoming was that they have always the one answer to any of your issue- visit the service centre. But then, i couldn't ask for more because they dont need to assist or educate me regardless of how technically savvy i am. Still, they suggested me to change the APN settings, which didn't work.
why this phone and its predecessor (m1) signal really bad! so i decide to lock 4g so i can get better signal, but i cant. is asus disable this stupid thing or is this just a bug! i really need it because i cant play pubg with high ping which is stupid because when i put my sim on other phone it will play normally.
Yes *#*#4636#*# not working even manually select 4g network revert back to 2g
So any solution for stock without root
So the signal is the same as m1? Asus still didn't learn from the past?
it's *#*#4636#*#* and it works fine both on my (wife's) M1 Pro and on my M2 Pro
