? Using LG V20 H910 AT&T Model On T-Mobile After (2021) VoLTE Change - LG V20 Questions & Answers

I posted this ? on reddit as well; however, this device is on its last legs so there's not much interest for it. I've gotten some good answers here and there on this website, but a dedicated thread to gather all the good info might be more helpful.
I still use my AT&T H910 as I don't really do much gaming on it. Calling, texting, and YouTube is what I mostly utilize it for. I just heard about the whole VoLTE requirement on specific devices after 2022 for AT&T, and 2021 for T-Mobile.
I spoke to AT&T, and they re-assured that the H910 was going to be one of the devices supported after 2022; however, I've been thinking about changing to T-Mobile (my family has a great plan with them, and I always switch back and forth between carriers based on who gives me the best deal) but I can't seem to get a straight answer from T-Mobile about whether my unlocked H910 will work with them after 2021; some didn't even know about the 2021 specifics of it.
I know AT&T will have to allow devices to be used on their network after 2022 even if they're VoLTE capable already. By the looks of it, T-Mobile won't go to that extreme; however, does anyone know exactly how VoLTE works? Specially in regards to using the AT&T H910 model on T-Mobile? Does my H910 has the required Bands to utilize VoLTE on T-Mobile? Or is it one of those things like "Wi-Fi Calling" where T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling only works with the LG V20 model from T-Mobile, and AT&T Wi-Fi calling only works with the LG V20 model from AT&T?

You need band 12 support which H910 has. Also a rom with IMS services working so no AOSP roms.
Volte works by using IMS processes in the rom to route phone calls over IP. No volte = no phone calls. But the device will still "work".
In theory the ATT software will work, unlock it and borrow someone else's sim. In theory a partial cross flash (just system, no modem/aboot/etc) could work if it doesn't.

I was recommended to use an app called Network Mode Universal on reddit for VoLTE testing purposes, and after inserting a T-Mobile SIM card that I borrowed on my unlocked H910 and using the application, the Voice Network Type tab says "LTE". Which is supposed to be a sign that VoLTE might be working on the H910 using a T-Mobile SIM, but that's all I know; just what people tell me.
Update:
The person who recommended that Network Mode Universal app forgot to mention that you have to actually make a call to know whether the phone supports VoLTE with the SIM card in use. When actually making a call, the Voice Network Type tab changes from "LTE" to "UMTS". Which means the H910 is not VoLTE capable on T-Mobile.

Could also be how his sim is set up. Volte has to be enabled there and in the phone. My suggestion would be to force LTE only on the device as well. Does it use VOLTE on his phone?
Also look at IMS registration in the phone and see if it's registered.

The person I borrowed the T-Mobile SIM from uses an iPhone on iOS 13. According to him, the option for turning on/off VoLTE from the settings is gone. He used to be able to turn it on and off at will; not anymore after iOS 13. It should be enabled by default on an iPhone though, I don't see why it would be off. It's almost a necessity on an iPhone I would think.
The LG V20 seems to be more limited in that sense, as on my previous Samsung phone I could enable 2G, 4G, LTE, etc, individually to force only one. I don't see any of those settings on my H910. I don't see any IMS info either.
Either way, I doubt T-Mobile would bother servicing my AT&T branded H910 phone in case IMS needed to be registered; in the case that it wasn't already. I've had really bad luck in the past dealing with T-Mobile on phones that are not T-Mobile branded.

IMS has a phone component and a sim component.
you can check status in the service menu of IMS on the H910. Hope it works on my Tmo phone, getting my sim upgraded

It should work if it's a T-Mobile phone. The H918 is 40% more expensive, so it would be great if the H910 worked with T-Mobile; however, it's not looking good.

Eh, kinda. I'm having trouble too. My IMS services aren't connecting. Going to try a few different roms. I'm through an MVNO so still trying to get them to understand ISIM vs USIM.

Gotcha, I hope it works. I was mentioning to @C D which has helped me understand a lot about VoLTE, that I'm starting to give in to the system of using whatever carrier my phone supports, as long as I can keep using my H910. The removable battery & IR blaster era has come to an end, and I don't think I need another phone right now other than the V20. I might even consider going back to the AT&T MVNO I was using before.

Latest result: oreo works but not nougat.
IMS never registers. Maybe I can fix it. At least now OK sim-wise. Unfortunately doing the sim swap broke tethering.

Hi guys, I am sorry for reviving the old thread.
I too owned H990DS Sea version on latest nougat. It has volte option but just couldn't switch on.
Please take a look at this thread on LG G8
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ther-qualcomm-powered-lg-devices-too.4343655/
I tried on my H990DS using the above thread's method and it didn't work. I was informed that the mbn files are for LG G8. We need mbn files that are specific for LG V20. I have searched up and down and I couldn't find any.
So I hope that I have provided some insights and I hope any member/master/guru out there can help where to find the mbn file (collection of all international carriers mbn) and make volte works for H990DS.

T-Mobile VoLTE, Voice Calls with OTA MM ?

Last I saw, it appeared that OTA Marshmallow 6.0 on Moto X Pure Edition had voice call problems with VoLTE enabled, on T-Mobile.
The workaround was to disable VoLTE (Disable "Enhanced LTE"), to maintain good voice calls quality.
Can anyone offer info on whether this is still a problem with OTA MM, T-Mobile, and VoLTE?
I'm staying with 5.1.1 until I see this resolved, either on T-Mobile end, MM, or maybe with a fix to some offending component or app.
TIA...
Please everyone let Motorola know about this bug so that they will fix it.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-X...l-audio-after-MM-upgrade-w-VoLTE/td-p/3239629
I read that thread a while back. My conclusion was there was insufficient resources when the screen off when on VoLTE. I'd think using a kernel manager with a custom kernel would let you set a higher cpu speed with the screen off, or maybe enable more cores to be available.
There still no fix for VolTE voice calls bug on this phone?
No fix. Motorola/Lenovo is basically ignoring us. You can see this in the long running Motorola support forum thread. Kernel change does not help as it has been tried already. Moto sucks.
That's a bummer. I think I'm going to return it before I loose the window. My last phone was an LG G2 and the VoltE worked flawlessly. It is sad that a newer/better specs phone is worse in that area than a 2013 phone.

KitKat does not exist for this device. Lollipop does not have the VOLTE bug. But you will loose band 12 LTE.
I don't think this is a Lenovo issue. I'm on AT&T and pretty much they only support VoLTE on their branded phones. Blame your carrier, not the phone. VOLTE does work on Verizon as I know two other people with this phone on VZ and once they got MM update, it worked.

I don't want to jinx myself but I have had my XT1575 (US) since October but recently switched to T-Mobile from VZ. Although my bootloader is still unlocked, I am running stock 6.0 (24.201.3 - Feb Security Update) and have had zero VoLTE issues (even on VZ it worked fine once enabled on my account)... Still no Wifi-Calling (on either carrier) with my XT1575, but HD Voice works great when calling another T-Mobile VoLTE phone (HD icon appears and voice quality/audio range is noticeably improved).
Not to state the obvious, but have those of you with VoLTE issues go into the hidden "testing" menu and made sure the VoLTE Provisioning Flag was set to "ON"? Access the Testing menu by entering these keys from the dialpad: *#*#4636#*#* and go under Phone Information then scroll down...
Also, make sure you have the T-Mobile LTE APN (Access Point Name) configured and enabled (should be auto-provisioned as "T-Mobile US 260 LTE" but if not the APN is "fast.t-mobile.com" and there are instructions for manually configuring their APN on their website).
Hope this helps.

It really doesn't matter if you upgrade the phone from Lollipop because VoLTE didn't exist on the phone until the Marshmallow upgrade. If you have problems with calls you can turn VoLTE off which is what you have now.

Your move from VZ to T-Mobile may support it is a carrier thing. Perhaps because your phone was already provisioned to with VOLTE on VZ, it carried over. I know the phone supports it, but let's face it, U.S. Carriers seem to hate not having control (especially AT&T). Any means to keep features limited unless you use their branded devices is one more control they have.

I understood what you said. But band 12 opens up a larger coverage area. Without VOLTE calls do not work on band 12.
One thing to note is that if the screen is kept on the jitter goes away. So it may also be a power management issue. We have already tried disabling power management on call services. But it did not help.

I am not disputing the fact that you need VoLTE to make calls over Band 12. Fortunately where I live in the Boston area T-Mobile pretty much operates exclusively on Band 4. So if I start having call problems with VoLTE enabled I can just turn it off. However, if I was still on Lollipop and in areas of the Country that use Band 12 exclusively I would not be able to make any cell calls using T-Mobile, since VoLTE was not enabled on the phone until the Marshmallow upgrade.
I would like to be able to blame T-Mobile for the problem but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case. Other third party phones like the recent Nexus phones, the Axon Pro, and the iPhone 6s and 6s plus all seem to have no problems making voice calls with VoLTE enabled. In my case I have noticed that the static problem does not occur with every call. It seems to come and go on an intermittent basis.

I think we all agree that Moto ignoring the issue is the worst part of the situation. I don't think they have even acknowledged it as a problem yet. There are a lot of things about the phone I like. However, at this point I would never buy another phone from Motorola. All phones have minor bugs. However, this is a major problem.

V20 and project fi

I dont know if this has been asked before, will this work on project fi?
The official list at the moment is only Pixels, Nexus 6P and 5X. Not sure why the Nexus 6 isn't still on that list since it was the launch device for the service. (I'm guessing the list is limited to what they officially have stock of.)
The US996 carrier unlocked model would be the closest match for Project Fi, but that model is missing all the Sprint bands. So would only work with T-Mobile's network for FI.
You can check all the compatibility of the US996 here:

Just because the LS997 from Sprint supports all the bands for Project Fi, there is no guarantee that it would be carrier unlocked to work with Project Fi and its SIM.

Just posting to add that my h910 LG v20 from AT&T does work on fi. The one guy who said that only T-Mobile would work is correct in my case. The v20 doesn't even have the type of dialer codes that are used for forcing network switching on fi supported phones. However I have found some use for this because I have an official supported pixel 2 from Project fi and happened to be a convert from AT&T and thus I had my old h910 to screw around with why the hell not? So to anyone who is familiar with project fi and is also the type of geek who frequents XDA, you are probably aware of apps like signal spy or Signal Info. When I was talking about dialer codes, those apps copy the dialer code to your clipboard and then you paste to your phone dialer which will then switch to either T-Mobile, Sprint, or US Cellular.
Basically what I'm trying to say is that even if your variant of the v20 does have the correct radios to work on the network, at this point I'm unaware of any way to switch between those Networks. That is not to say it is impossible, perhaps somebody can code something that would do that and if so please shoot a message my way. Also you may be disappointed when you find out that picture texting doesn't seem to work, or at least I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.
I currently use my v20 on Project fi very often. Anyone who has a pixel 2 is probably aware that one of the biggest complaints about the February update is reduced battery life, and so I often pull my SIM card out and stick it into my v20. Which does bring me to an interesting note if you are unaware, if you begun your service with project fi on a pixel 2 phone ....... Which does bring me to hun interesting know if you are unaware, if you be gone your service with project fine a pic so to phone.. You will have been activated using the SIM method in which your phone does not actually have a nano SIM inside of it. Now what you can do as a simple little life hack or whatever the hell you want to call it, is call and ask project fi how you go about ordering a free nano SIM. It'll cost you nothing and when you get it you can then activate it to the same phone number as the E Sim. However you cannot use the ECM and the nano SIM simultaneously. But it does allow you to have a backup phone.

Now that you can order a SIM directly from Google, will it work with Sprint model V20 if unlocked?
I realize it won't have the carrier switching but that's ok.
I too use my V20 with Project-Fi. I have the T-Mobile variant and everything seems to be working fine. The network switching will not work and will be restricted with T-Mobile service only.. Also, you will be unable to do Wi-Fi calling. Seems to be restricted on non Project-Fi phones. As far as MMS, I've used it only with Hangouts. I like to keep all my conversations synced across devices. I can try MMS via the stock messaging app and see if it works. If data doesn't work, you can try the following APN settings:
Open the Settings app on your device.
Tap More (under Wireless & Networks).
Tap Cellular networks and then Access Point Names.
Tap + (at the top of the screen).
Tap Name and enter "Project Fi".
Tap APN and enter "h2g2".
Save.
Go back to the previous page.
Select Project Fi from the list.
Hope this helps.

AT&T & Verizon VoLTE and VoWiFi calling/texting thread

Hi all. Posting this for users looking for answers on VoLTE and WoWifi on the 6T on AT&T & Verizon. If users with access to the OP6T could please test and report, that would be very helpful. Since the pixel 3 now supports both VoLTE & VoWiFi (on AT&T) there is perhaps some hope that OnePlus will also support it.
1: On AT&T, is there an option for Voice over LTE and Wifi calling and does it work?
2: On Verizon, I know Voice over LTE will work, but what about Wifi Calling?
Screen shots welcome I will have my hands on the device as soon as its available and will report since I have all the carriers, but thought maybe someone might get their hands on one early and could report. It might make a big difference on whether or now some users buy the device.! Thanks guys!
Yeah, whether or not I get the OP6T depends entirely on whether VoLTE and VoWiFi work on AT&T.
Eagerly waiting for updates!

AT&T & Verizon VoLTE and VoWiFi calling/texting thread
Same here. I’ve got a spot in SC where I got for holidays annually where, without Wi-Fi calling, my phone is a paperweight. I’ve always wanted to try a OnePlus but if there’s no Wi-Fi calling I’ll have to pass and stick with my XS Max.
I’ve already ordered but it’ll be a quick turnaround if that doesn’t work.

This question came up in the AMA with the OP team in their community forums last week, and Pei himself said VoWifi isn't supported at the moment.
Just got my device today so update time..
1: VoLTE works on Verizon by default as soon as you pop in the SIM. All the Verizon LTE bands seem to work fine.. in this area, 2,4,13, & 66. no option in the menu for wiFi calling, even though it works fine in my pixel 3 where my verizon SIM just was.
2: Neither VoLTE or VoWiFI work on AT&T by default. No option for either in the settings at all. So no change there from OP5/5T/6 ETC. However, if you go do the dialer, dial *#800# and hit enter, select oneplus logkit, scroll down to function switch and select it, and check the box for VoLTE switch and Vowifi switch and then reboot, it puts the VOLTE setting and VoWiFI setting in for both the Verizon and AT&T SIM. and while you can enable VoWIFI on both Verizon and AT&T, it DOES NOT work on either. On AT&T however, as long as you have a VOLTE capable/recognized IMEI on your AT&T account for your line, VoLTE/HD voice work just fine.
So, while it is amazing to have, for the first time ever a DUAL SIM phone that supports both VZW & AT&T at the same time, it is a too bad that VoWiFI does not work on either, Especially now that the Pixel 3 Supports it on both carriers.

Has anyone used the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* & try to toggle VoLTE &/OR VoWI-FI ?
Thanks for the info. I'm looking to get the 6T to use on AT&T. I've never used an unlocked/non-AT&T branded phone on my line. Are there any other limitations that AT&T implements on non-AT&T branded devices? Do they throttle data speeds? Any issues with SMS/MMS working like some Verizon users are experiencing? Would I need to contact AT&T to have any special provisioning just to get it to work? I appreciate any insight on this.

I'm not on AT&T so,I'm not gonna speculate.
Perhaps someone will chime-in soon for more definitive information.
My OnePlus 6t came in today. Took sim out of my Pixel 3 XL and popped it in. Everything is working except I can't SEND text messages. I can receive them and make calls, data is fine (actually amazing 44.5 mbps d/l, which is good for around here.)
I've tried chatting with Verizon, but after I told them what device, there was a long pause and then she asked if it was an iPhone
Here are my troubleshooting steps I've followed.
-deleted app cache and storage
-reset device
-factory reset device
-cleared cache partition in recovery
Any suggestions? I put the sim back in my Pixel and all the messages came through. I've tried both slots.
Mobile network state-Connected
Service state-In service
Mobile voice network type-4g
Mobile data network types-4g
EID-unknown (??)
There is another thread discussing why a lot of people using 6T on Verizon having problem receiving SMS and MMS. Something the phone being LTE only on Verizon. Maybe you are having the same problem? Worth reading that thread.

Yes. that would be best. I didn't need to do anything with mine, it just worked. However, I do have the latest version the the Verizon SIM card. Not sure if that matters. I was using a Pixel 3 before.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to get the 6T to use on AT&T. I've never used an unlocked/non-AT&T branded phone on my line. Are there any other limitations that AT&T implements on non-AT&T branded devices? Do they throttle data speeds? Any issues with SMS/MMS working like some Verizon users are experiencing? Would I need to contact AT&T to have any special provisioning just to get it to work? I appreciate any insight on this.

I have used AT&T for years on unlocked devices. I have tested everything Data speeds are just fine. no issues there. the OP6T supports all the bands on AT&T so coverage should be just fine for you. The limits are as follows:
1: built in visual voicemail will not work, you will need to use the AT&T visual Voicemail app from the store.
2: Wifi calling/texting will not work
3: VoLTE/HD Voice will only work with the above mentioned trickery. Root is NOT needed. just the *#800# thing
the only provisioning you may need is the AT&T imei for VoLTE (Easiest to do online) after installing your AT&T SIM in the OP6T, if VoLTE doesn't work after following the instruction in this thread, log into your AT&T account and update your IMEI to one of your past AT&T phones that support VoLTE and update, reboot you OP6T and bingo, it will work. No other provisioning or limitations that I know of. And if VoLTE/HD Voice isn't important to you, you can ignore all this. Your existing AT&T SIM just needs installed in your OP6T and your good to go!

The *#800# enables all those options. But it doesn't help anything on Verizon, and on AT&T it does work for VoLTE if a VOLTE enabled IMEI is on your AT&T account, but it doesn't work for wifi calling. I wish it was just illegal for the carriers to block services just because its a non branded phone

My OnePlus 6t came in today. Took sim out of my Pixel 3 XL and popped it in. Everything is working except I can't SEND text messages. I can receive them and make calls, data is fine (actually amazing 44.5 mbps d/l, which is good for around here.)
I've tried chatting with Verizon, but after I told them what device, there was a long pause and then she asked if it was an iPhone
Here are my troubleshooting steps I've followed.
-deleted app cache and storage
-reset device
-factory reset device
-cleared cache partition in recovery
Any suggestions? I put the sim back in my Pixel and all the messages came through. I've tried both slots.
Mobile network state-Connected
Service state-In service
Mobile voice network type-4g
Mobile data network types-4g
EID-unknown (??)

Just got my device today so update time..
1: VoLTE works on Verizon by default as soon as you pop in the SIM. All the Verizon LTE bands seem to work fine.. in this area, 2,4,13, & 66. no option in the menu for wiFi calling, even though it works fine in my pixel 3 where my verizon SIM just was.
2: Neither VoLTE or VoWiFI work on AT&T by default. No option for either in the settings at all. So no change there from OP5/5T/6 ETC. However, if you go do the dialer, dial *#800# and hit enter, select oneplus logkit, scroll down to function switch and select it, and check the box for VoLTE switch and Vowifi switch and then reboot, it puts the VOLTE setting and VoWiFI setting in for both the Verizon and AT&T SIM. and while you can enable VoWIFI on both Verizon and AT&T, it DOES NOT work on either. On AT&T however, as long as you have a VOLTE capable/recognized IMEI on your AT&T account for your line, VoLTE/HD voice work just fine.
So, while it is amazing to have, for the first time ever a DUAL SIM phone that supports both VZW & AT&T at the same time, it is a too bad that VoWiFI does not work on either, Especially now that the Pixel 3 Supports it on both carriers.

So glad that I found this post. I am coming from an AT&T branded Galaxy S8 to my new OnePlus 6T. The above instructions worked like a charm for AT&T. I ran some tests. The OnePlus displays "HD" when I call my wife on her phone on AT&T and VoLTE shows in the status bar. When I toggle it back off I lose "HD" on the phone call screen. Also, LTE stays on during calls with VoLTE turned on and I ran a speedtest with it on and off and I definitely get 4G speed with it on and it downgrades to HSPA+ with VoLTE off and speed goes way down. Hopefully VoWIFI will be supported soon but that's not a deal breaker for me as I get great reception most of the time where I live, work and travel.

I am on att had it all working on my unlocked NOTE 8. Now I can't even get volte cause it's all grayed out.
The service providers don't want you to buy unlocked phones. They make zero on them!! So that's why they block stuff. It's an antitrust lawsuit waiting to happen!! A$$h0!€$

I've got AT&T as my primary and Verizon as #2. I just got off the phone with Verizon, told them I needed to add the CDMA Less feature to fix my texting. He checked a box on his end and I got a flood of texts in...what was even better, it was a work phone on a business account. I didn't even have to provide any real information to him and he was able to fix me up. He was aware of the issue though, he'd asked if it was a 6T from T-Mobile...so someone sent out a bulletin somewhere that he had read.
Anyway, I left Verizon to go to AT&T specifically for this plan of having one phone to cover 2 lines while one being fully functional (AT&T), so far it's been working well switching between SIMs for texting and making phone calls.
What were you specifically looking to find out?
Edit: found what you're looking for...however I'm not sure where those settings are even at.

VOLTE Wifi Calling with Unlocked S10+

Hey there, I've been doing a bit of research but it has been a long while since i have done any flashing of firmware etc. I received my s10+ device today. Model number is SM-G975UZKAXAA. I am a Verizon wireless customer. When I placed this device on my account I noticed I have no access to Voice over LTE, and I also do not have any access to Wifi Calling. My question is the following. I read somewhere a couple of weeks ago that if I wanted something like this I would need to flash the original VZW Firmware which would have all the lovely bloatware etc on the device. Is there any way I can do that? I have seen firmware that has been posted but I dont seem to see anything that specifically is the VZW apps etc which should (hopefully allow VOLTE and Wifi Calling and maybe even HD Calling, if thats a thing)
I would appreciate any info anyone can provide me on this, as the only solution I can see at the moment is to return the device and start over with a VZW specific device.
Cheers~
Likewise but with a T-Mobile firmware for me
Unlocked US version here with Verizon and wifi calling and volte working out of the box.
You may want to call Verizon to see if they need to provision it for your account.

Hey guys, just wanted to check in with you (or anyone else who has wifi calling on unlocked Verizon). It is 100% working? It's the only reason I got the carrier version. Should I cancel and order the unlocked?

Yes, it works with my unlocked S10+ on Verizon. It surprised the heck out of me as I too have the unlocked Note9, but no wifi calling.
What about on AT&T? Can anyone say if they can at least get VOLTE? WiFi calling would be the icing on the cake. Thank you

Wifi calling worked on my unlocked S10 out of the box on T-Mobile. I'll try and check on VoLTE later but I get **** reception near work.
Can you explain how you enabled WiFi calling on unlocked version, on Verizon? I can't find a way to do it. What about HD Voice? My real problem is that data does not work while on a call, using my unlocked, on Verizon. Is there a way to get that working?
I have unlocked S10+ on VZW. I get LTE+ which is VoLTE, data works while on a call.

I don't think that is right. LTE+ and VoLTE are different things. As well as data while on a call.
VoLTE means your call is being transmitted over LTE. I'm pretty sure you can use data while on a call WITHOUT VoLTE.

How do you test if VoLTE is working? Do you get an Icon for it?
I tested WiFi calling by going into airplane mode, turning Wifi on, and making a call and it worked. But didn't get a special icon for it.
For those basing your decision to buy unlocked/international vs branded, be warned. I can only speak for Att, but I spent about 2 hours arguing with their level 2 tech department and here's what I have learned. If you have a sim that is provisioned on a branded phone and then put the sim into an unlocked/international phone, you will be able to use volte, wi-fi calling, etc., but only until the carrier pings your imei for a periodical check, once that happens, those features disappear. Also, on Android Pie, the Enhanced LTE Services tab under Mobile Data has been removed as it is turned on by default, also confirmed with ATT. The only way to manually check is to toggle wifi calling on and see if it works. Anyway, just trying to help as I have gone to a branded phone for the first time in 6 years because the reception and enhanced features are more important than rooting to me.
I was able to get wifi and volte working on my unlocked s10 by putting sim into verizon phone, letting network recognize it, enabling advanced calling and such on that device and then taking the sim out and putting it back in my new unlocked s10. The option for volte appears in settings-connections-mobile networks.
VoLTE works on tmobile, not that anyone should be surprised. That has been the case for the S8 thru N9. Now... I noticed that Samsung removed the VoLTE toggle from settings.

Correct, no VoLTE setting on my unlocked S10e, but it is on by default it seems

Using what I learned in this thread, I called Verizon and talked to Level2 support. They tried to get everything working and could not - but this was when I had the new SIM installed, provided by Samsung when I got my S10+.
So because others here spoke of their 'other' SIM, I suggested we try that - so I plugged in the SIM from my S8 and asked them to reprovision everything. They did... and....Now everything that didn't work ... WORKS.
So I have an Unlocked S10+ on Verizon that has (among other things):
- Wifi Calling
- Real Time Text
- VoLTE ("HD Voice") (Which means data now works while I'm on a phone call)
- Visual Voicemail
So it seems the Samsung SIM was part of the problem, and they are reporting this to Samsung. The tech support person told me others have reported similar issues and they will get with Samsung to figure out what the issue is.
Hopefully this helps some others as well!

Does the H910 running Lineage OS do VoLTE on AT&T?

As the title says, does anyone here have an H910+Lineage on AT&T's network verified that it is doing VoLTE, and not only voice over UMTS?
I ask because AT&T says they are killing their 3G network in 01/2022, which means any phone that isn't VoLTE capable on their network will lose the ability to place calls (non-VOIP calls). Evidently my H918 running LOS isn't capable of doing VoLTE on AT&T's network, and I REALLY, REALLY don't want to give up using a V20. So, if the H910 does VoLTE running Lineage on AT&T's network, I'll buy a new H910.
I am very, very interested in getting this question definitively answered one way or the other.
None of any custom ROMs would support VoLTE, it's proprietary.
100% no VOLTE on AT&T if you are using Lineage. You have to use the stock-based rom for it to work.
Even with a stock ROM on my h910A, I still don't think I was able to get VOLTE working... not sure why.

Hi guys,
I owned H990DS Sea version on latest nougat. It has volte option but just couldn't switch on without the proper carrier configuration file
Please take a look at this thread on LG G8
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ther-qualcomm-powered-lg-devices-too.4343655/
I tried on my H990DS using the above thread's method and it didn't work. I was informed that the mbn files are for LG G8. We need mbn files that are specific for LG V20. I have searched up and down and I couldn't find any.
So I hope that I have provided some insights and I hope any member/master/guru out there can help where to find the mbn file (collection of all international carriers mbn) and make volte works for H990DS and maybe for other V20 variants too.
the phone has to recognize the network and turn on volte
i have a phone that support volte, and i'm sure the network supports volte, but my phone doesn't use volte on this network because this phone is not natively available here so their support doesn't give a ****

Yes, same for me too. My V20 has 4G+/LTE+ signal but no volte. Whenever I make a call, the signal drop to 2G (since 3G has shut down) and would take, at least 5 seconds to connect. Looks like I am re-living the good old 90's era of using 2G voice quality to make call....
I am still finding the way to activate the volte on this phone but so far looks like dead end...
