VoLTE Icon? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey y'all, I feel like this is such a meme, but does anyone know how to enable the VoLTE icon to show up?
I've made all the CSC tweaks about VoLTE and Icon in /system/omc/XEU, I do get VoLTE in my network settings, but the icon doesn't show up.
Is there some kernel/build prop/csc tweak needed?
I tried a custom kernel once and it showed up - but surely that isn't required?
I'm on Pie, HadesRom (but happened on stock anyway), on XEU/XEU/O2U, SM-G950F.
Thank you!

The visibility of the icon depends on which mobile network you use

Yeah, I'm on O2 here and it supports VoLTE - since the icon showed up before on stock with a custom kernel.

Three and O2 are two UK carriers that doesn't have the VOLTE icon showing in the statusbar. So it's not suppose to be showing. WiFi calling icon shows if you have it activated while on WiFi. I'm currently with Three as my private phone but have the note 9 as a work phone with 02. To try it out just make a phone call, if it stays on 4g, VOLTE is activated.

Data notification arrows on OP2

Does Oxygen support the data arrows on the WIFI and Wireless Icons in the notification area?
My OPO had these and I am sure they were working on the OP2, but I have installed the Yitax icon pack and they are not working. I have tried going back to defaults and still no luck...
Really useful having these arrows to tell which data service is in use. BTW they work on the quick settings pull-down.
Same issue.
Does anybody have any idea?
it's the problem of oxygen os
if you really want that then you can use xposed modules for that
there are various modules available for that

LockScreen after MM update

First thing I noticed after update is changed lockscreen
Now, on the bottom of the lockscreen, three icons used to be "dialer", "unlock", "camera", but now there are "microphone" on the left where the "dialer" app is used to be.
Is there any way I get "dialer" app back on the lockscreen?
Also I cannot swype left or right on the lockscreen to run dialer or camera, I need to touch the icons and swipe then.

This might half-work:
Shortcut Lock Screen Mod [MM]
I say "half-work" because I don't use it myself and it doesn't mention the swipe part, just replacing the icons.
GravityBox also has the ability to add custom icons (they'll show up under the clock).
settings>>all apps>> top gear icon>> default>> assist and voice>> assist--NONE
and dialer is back.

Thank you very much, that works perfectly !
Although found something else that is weird.
When I turn off WiFi, it used to show me "4G" or "3G" icon next to reception bar, when on mobile data.
After the MM update There is nothing shown there, I have no idea if the data is enabled or not, neither if it is 4G or 3G. Is this something wrong with my device or it is MM "feature" ?
How can I get icon for the data connection back on ?!

If you're rooted you can use gravity box xposed module to show it back. No idea why it happened in the first place
OK sorted the problem.
I went to stock recovery (I'm not rooted) and cleared cache partition, rebooted and now it shows 3G/4G icon when I'm on mobile data.
thanks everyone for the support

Question on WiFi Calling

I'm on Ting in the US(uses T-Mobile networks) and was wondering if wifi calling would work.
There's this article on their website (https://help.ting.com/hc/en-us/articles/205421918-FAQ-Wi-Fi-Calling-on-GSM-Devices) that has instructions connected to it on how to enable it but would like confirmation that these menus even exist on the OP5, cause my current phone doesn't have the option unless you search it(even then it does nothing when tapped).
This isn't an urgent thing but WiFi calling would be nice to have, I don't get the best reception in my area with any carrier.
It seems like that your phone carrier is not be supported WiFi LTE
I'm on mint sim, a t mobile mvno and volte and vowifi work for me. Note the status bar showing both working.

Thanks, I was more or less looking to see a menu option for it, because I know Ting supports it.
BTW you could try an app like System UI Tuner by Zachary Wander to disable more icons than than the normal UI Tuner allows. It just requires a few ADB commands if you not rooted. I believe it supports removing VoLTE and VoWiFi icons.

Thanks, my status bar is just how I like it? And I'm not 100% sure if system ui tuner was giving me constant system ui crashes whenever I got below 15% battery.. It's happened on all 3 phones I installed system ui tuner on.. So I stopped installing it lol.
I had an att mvno that did not support vowifi/lte previously, and when I did, that menu option in my screenshot would not appear.. So should you get your op5 and those menu options not appear under sim and network settings, you'll know it's not supported .

VoLTE and VoWIFI in Australia

I'm pretty sure neither VoLTE nor VoWIFI will work in Australia for this device out of the box, particularly for Telstra. Can anyone who bought one confirm?
Is there likely to be a way to get them to work with modifications?
I am quite interested in this phone, but sadly given the reception where I live, lack of VoWIFI support would be a dealbreaker.
You can enable VOLTE and VoWIFI with OnePlus Log Kit app.

Huh. That seems too simple. I had heard that Telstra in particular had a whitelist for which devices could access VoLTE on their network. Is that not the case?

Hm. Well I might see if I can find anyone in Aus that's bought one before I rush to shell out that amount of money. Thanks for the input tho!
FWIW - i'll be trying as soon as mine arrives and gets setup.
unit should arrive today :fingerscrossed: , then charge, setup, and i'll try this VoLTE (and yes i'm on Telstra too).
What'll be interesting is whether 5G just works as is or whether I have to request it to be added/enabled on my Telstra plan?
@StelardActek - sooo followed the guide that's in above link. Fairly straight forward and then gives you the 2 toggle switches in your sim card settings... Can toggle both VoLTE & VoWiFi BUT icons don't change, so I don't actually know if it's working or just a toggle for the sake of having a toggle.

When you say icons, do you mean the status icons? Or do you mean the HD icon doesn't come up when making a call? AFAIK that's the only way to know if you're actually on VoLTE. Also VoWIFI will cut your call over to wifi a few seconds after connecting, if you're on wifi.

Turn airplane mode on. Then turn wifi on and see if you can still make calls in airplane mode through wifi.

Yea I mean the status icon - I thought there was a 4G & VoLTE icon but I'm probably wrong.
A few quick tests -
Made call Wifi On - Dialer has HD icon on screen
Status bar icon stays the same - no indication of 4G/3G/H+ etc. , just the triangle bars
Minimised dialler - launched browser, did speedtest - get 94.12Mbps........
Hang up, status bar icon stays the same - no indication of 4G/3G/H+ etc. , just the triangle bars
Made call Wifi Off - Dialer has HD icon on screen
Status bar icon goes from 4G+ before dialling, to 3G during dialling, to H+ when call is connected..
Minimised dialler - launched browser, did speedtest - get 4.21Mbps........
Hang up, goes status bar icon goes from H+ back to 4G+
Not entirely sure what that all means now..

Just tried that - in the dialer app, a prompt comes up - "To Place a call, first turn off flight mode"
Does it not say vowifi on status bar when wifi is on or Volte when wifi is off and data is on?
@nathlynn22 @happiboi AFAIK, if it says HD during a call you're on VoLTE. And if you're connect to wifi with VoWIFI enabled then a few seconds into a call it should swap over to using that instead of the LTE network. I forget what it says exactly but it does say something in text on the call screen that makes it explicit that it's using wifi for the call.

I know my current Pixel 2 XL does VoLTE and VoWIFI, and it also shows no icons in the status bar for either of these things. Just the HD icon on the dialer during calls, and the message on the dialer when routing voice via WIFI.

Are you using Telstra? I'm on Telstra and have installed the Lockit and followed all the steps. I don't see HD on the dialer screen, do you mind sharing screenshot?

Hmmm then i definitely don't see any messages about wifi or wifi-call on the dialer during the call

Cheers mate! Even now I'm getting the HD on dialler screen but no VOLTE & VoWiFI on the status bar.
My call quality has been exceptionally good and very crisp and clear.
I spoke with Telstra network team this arvo and they said OnePlus 8 is on their whitelist and is VOLTE compatible even they helped me diagnose the settings.
Hi! Im much interested with oneplus 8 pro too, from AU as well. Any recommended seller? Thank you!
