I'm tired of waiting for AT&T to push updates so I'm considering converting but I dont want to lose HD voice. So do unlocked or dev editions have VoLTE on Lollipop?
Simplest answer...nope

:crying: Back to waiting then, thanks for the reply!
Most will not see any difference as its not deployed in many places....also heres somerhings to know about it..VoLTE enables what's called high definition (HD) voice calling. It's hard to quantify the higher quality of these calls, but they are a significant improvement over traditional calls made via cellular networks. There is, however, a catch. To make an HD voice call, you need to use a phone that supports VoLTE, in an area with 4G LTE service, and the person on the other end must also meet the same requirements.In other words both parties have to be in a VoLTE area,both parties have to be on same network,and both parties have to have a VoLTE device,if any of these are not in place,there will be no VoLTE calls
Hi Guys,
Can anyone guide how to enable 4G VoLTE support on Honor 5x ?
I am using Indian version KIW-L22
Currently in India, Reliance Jio is the only operator with 4G VoLTE support. Though not commercially launched yet, but Reliance Jio services are available to it's employees.
As I can see Snapdragon 615 already supports HD Voice over 3G and VoLTE
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/615
I found somewhere that using the code *#*#4636#*#* on dialer app will bring up a menu to enable VoLTE provisioned flag. However that doesn't work on Honor 5x.
I am sure since we have the hardware support for VoLTE, getting this thing enabled over the software should not be impossible.
Anyone any ideas please help!
Spoke to Honor India chat support today...
They blatantly said VoLTE support won't be available on this handset.
Strange, hardware supports but they won't give a small software path or update to enable this.
Looks like only hope is this community, and may be some custom ROM.

Not prudent of Huawei India to give such a response, when competition (aka. Redmi Note 3) has this out of the box! currently waiting for the device to get a decent AOSP ROM, would purchase one then

There are even many sub 10K (INR) phones which offers VoLTE support.
Was really hoping that Honor India would provide some support, as it is a matter of simple software patch / update.
But alas
BTW just to confirm, I am able to use the 4G data using Reliance Jio SIM, but not the voice call, which needs VoLTE support.
I am using Reliance Jio 4G SIM...
Just today got hold of Jio Join app, which allows me to make call from my Honor 5x.
Note: On Reliance Jio only supports 4g VoLTE handsets. However, they have come up with an app called Jio Join which allows users with non VoLTE 4G handsets can still make calls. It uses 4G data to route the call to Jio network. Call quality is nice.
Still being hopeful if Honor gives native support for VoLTE on the handset with some software patch.
There maybe some technical issues with placing a call on a 4G VoLTE network as it needs better codecs which probably need more power so this feature is mostly reserved to high range phones and only with some phone operators.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure about the codecs but it's definitely not that VoLTE is restricted only to high end phones. In India we have VoLTE enabled android phones starting from as low as $75.
In France, only one operator allows Voice over LTE and only for a few phone such as latest Samsung S6 and probably S7 now and Apple iPhone 6 et 6+
Click to expand...

That's true.. There are very few operators around the globe which have VoLTE feature, because it is relatively new technology which comes with 4G. Without VoLTE when you make a call over 4G network you voice call actually gets over 3G or 2G network (but remember you operator should also have a 3G or 2G network for that).
So even though some one could supply a custom ROM with this feature integrated that doesn't mean you could use it if the phone operator doesn't allow you to use it on his network. I guess 4G VoLTE is mostly experimental for now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4G VoLTE feature though less available but is not an experimental feature. It's very much supported both by Android and common SoCs like Snapdragon 615. It's true that for True HD call experience 3 entities needs to be VoLTE enabled i) The caller ii) The Network iii) The receiver. In my case all 3 are possible since the network is VoLTE enabled.
Myself I'm not sure how 4G VoLTE could be relevant as it uses a large part of you data plan which cost you more than a GSM call...
In France we mostly have unlimited GSM calls for the same price when data plan are mostly limited in Megabyte or Gigabyte...

The network I am on (Reliance Jio) is a only 4G Network which means only way to make a call is over VoLTE, as explained before. It's a IP Based Packet switched network and not a Circuit Switched network like traditional 2G / 3G.
About technical limitations, we have the same problem when we use our 4G/LTE phone's modem. If you place a phone call when sharing data, the phone's modem switches to 3G and back to 4G/LTE when the call ends...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is not a technical limitation, it's simply because your operator has chosen not to implement VoLTE, which means you can use 4G network only for the data, for voice calls you are actually using the operator's existing 3G / 2G network. Thus this 3G/4G switching happens for you.
That just mean you were allowed to experiment this feature on Reliance Jio network and you don't need specific patches...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure I should rightly call it patch or not.. But yes a software update it is. The SoC of Honor 5x supports VoLTE, Android Lollipop supports VoLTE, I don't see a reason why Huawei should not allow it.
At present time, you should probably be a very few users to use 4G VoLTE and imagine millions or billions of users placing calls on 4G VoLTE at the same time...

Yes lucky to be an early tester of a technology that's gonna drive the future... IP Based network it is
So finally Jio is here, but do we have any option to enable VoLTE on Honor 5x
May be by using any custom rom or whatsoever?

Anyone of please upload the downloaded zip to cm thread for bademon . He maybe could add support with the help of that file by analysing whats inside that file
I just updated.
Video is not supported..there is no option to activate it. If someone is calling from jio to ur no., at that type if they are sending video request, call hangs for long time after disconnection also...it is a Very serious bug. Restart is only way option to remove hanged call. Only call hangs..means u cannot call anyone.
I am about to buy LeMax 2 X829 cuz it supports full 3G (1700/2100) and LTE (2,4,12) on T-Mobile (US).
But I must have native wifi calling feature.
Does it come with VoLTE and wifi-calling?
If it doesn't, what kind of ROM do I need to install?
Thanks in advance.

VoLTE available stock rom, and wifi-calling, I don't known!
thank you for your comment.
is there any stock rom that I can flash to have that feature on?
What bands are supported on x829? I think they are different compared to x820..?
829 supports most of US bands. 820 does not support tmo 3g bands (1700/2100 B4) but supports all LTE bands (2,4,12).

Hi,
I have the X829 6gb/128 version, and i can confirm that wifi and VoLTE work on T-Mobile.
Phone was purchased from eFox, and it was shipped with the notorious
leaked American Rom (5.8.16s). Hope this helps.
Yes definitely has wifi calling n volte on tmo, you wont see any option for it till you put in a tmo sim, but after you do and boot up it's there. I have a silver and a gold x829 both 4/64, both bought at tinydeal with coupon "199LX829" silver is $192 the gold is $194. I paid extra $7 each for DHL express And the one I ordered Friday night came Tuesday at noon, the Next ordered Tuesday got it Friday. Couldn't have been happier. If your american theres no customs but Visa and Mastercard will charge an extra 3-3.5% to convert currency so calculate an extra $6-$7, paypal is 2.5% if you pay with them. Had 1 phone a week other for 4 days and 0 issues yet. Both benchmark around 130k in antutu and turn in 4k/1750 in Geek.
hi JohnnySJ, you mean T-Mobile in USA or Germany

VoLTE should work on O2/Vodafone/Telekom but they have very restricted compatibility lists... don't know if those lists actually mean anything
even subsidiaries (i.e. otelo) of those 3 don't work - let's not talk about small independend providers

Stock rom that it came with.
Just a suggestion since I believe someone was asking where to get it. I bought two fro gearbest it only to about a week for each to get to my house. I live in Oklahoma.
I wish Leeco would release source. I have WiFi calling working in rooted EUI (via T-mobile), but no custom ROM that I tried that has WiFi calling built into the ROM has yet worked. Kind of a bummer, because I cannot stand EUI. RR & LineageOS has been my favorite custom ROM thus far. Unless there is a trick I am not aware of to get it functioning in other ROMs.

I installed Dirty Unicorns
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/x82x-dirty-unicorns-7-1-2-t3593864
Enabled WiFi calling, and it has been working. I was able to see the WIFi calling traffic via tcpdump from my router, so I am fairly sure it is working in that ROM.
**Edit**
My mistake. Using Dirty Unicorn AOKP ROM. What I thought was WiFi calling traffic in tcpdump (from my router) was actually traffic being generated from the T-mobile app. The only ROM that I've had both WiFi calling and Volte working flawlessly is stock EUI, unfortunately.
What is the best way to try to get working Wi-Fi Calling and VoLte on this model phone? Just ordered it yesterday so I don't have it yet
Thanks
I am not a developer but experienced user.
There is MUCH confusion about VOLTE .
To get VOLTE in the past on 99% of phones you needed 2 Things .
1] A VOLTE capable phone .
2] Network SOFTWARE on that phone to enable VOLTE ( and often WIFI calling ). This means you only get VOLTE on Tmobile , for example with a Tmobile BRANDED [ or Metro OCS phone ] with the preinstalled software from the Manufacturer for that specific NETWORK.
Android was supposedly going to ADD this into their system but I don't think it's possible technically or legally.
A friend as recently as a week ago on SPRINT had an S9 with a VOLTE On/OFF setting and when he engaged VOLTE is affected call quality negatively - I heard it.
This is one of the reasons Sprint is merging with TMO , IMO.
I have heard rumors of 'generic ' or AT&T Iphones having VOLTE on Metro PCS/Tmobile for example but real VOLTE stays on LTE always and you never lose Internet due to a call - simultaneous STABLE voice and data is the benefit - not some little trick on /off thing.
If the F/DS is an Exynos you may have issues however someone pointed out in another thread that the Exynos should work with T-Mo WiFi calling.
I am using the firmware for the 965U1, it is generic software for US Based Snapdragon phones. When I flashed and put my SIM in, it detected T-Mobile and set up WiFi calling automagically. The VoLTE also works with no adjustments or settings.
So I am thinking at a minimum you should be able to get WiFi calling. Hopefully.

Do I have to take it to the store for them to do it, or can I just call customer service?
The other response is incorrect. Huawei has a whitelist of carrier MCC/MNC for VoLTE support. US carriers are not on it for LYA-L29.
VoLTE working fine in the middle east for the LYA-L29 for those who are wondering.
I don't know about North America though.

Volte works fine on the P20 Pro. Since that phone was never sold or supported in the USA there is no reason US carriers would be on a whitelist.
Volte also works fine on the Xiaomi MI Mix 2 & 2S which aren't sold or supported here.
Same problem in Canada too...the carrier has to work with Huawei to turn the feature on. I upgraded from an S7Edge which WAS VoLTE enabled by the carrier, so the account has the feature, but it did not automatically carry over.
Looks like there will be a few months before we get this, seeing how long it took for P20 Pro.
Anyone on UK EE with VoLTE available?

Hola
Can you please elaborate. For some of our carriers in Canada VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling are only enabled with carrier branded phones. This is particularly true for Rogers and Fido. If you are dealing with Shaw, Telus and Bell I have seen different scenarios that certain non branded phones working ok for VoLTE and other phones not working at all.
I am with Fido and I bought the Mate 20 Pro from them and VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling work.

I'm with Videotron...hence the difference. They have been notoriously slow to enable the feature on new phones.
On the flip side, I was getting VoLTE on my old phone which was NOT bought from them (it was first registered on Koodo).
Rogers does not allow that -as you mentioned.

A follow-up on my own post:
- we all knew the Canadian version L0C is NOT dual-SIM - I finally got a chance to test this. Bummer.
- I put in my phone a Rogers SIM and VoLTE and VoWiFi WERE INSTANTLY ENABLED. So the software supports it, has to be enabled by the provider via the SIM cfg. Somewhat positive news - as we all thought, Rogers would only allow VoLTE on the phones they sell, the test proved this is not the case.

I can definitely tell that the call quality is a LOT better in my case with VoLTE on, as it uses HD codecs (G.722).
You can try for yourself by turning VoLTE ON and then play with WCDMA vs LTE settings...one will disable it right away. In my case even the call button in the dialer shows HD.
And yes, the damn icon is hideous and won't go away even with System Tuner.

MintMobile does provide Volte but they have no idea which phone models it works on so they don't advertise Volte. I had Volte functionality on MintMobile with One Plus 5, Essential PH-1, Xiaomi Mix 2 & Mix 2S, and Huawei P20 Pro.
But it does not work with this phone.
On Telus, the first time I set the phone up it made me jump through a hoop where I went to a Telus site and enabled the VOxxx stuff. Strangely, it seemed to be kinda random whether it was 'on' or not, and before the last 2 updates I don't think you could even trust the icon to be telling you the truth. I'm not sure why this feature is a big deal, codecs or not the voice quality seems fine on this phone regardless. Some people claim that enabling any of the VO stuff gobbles battery, I haven't really noticed.
Much like the AOD, it is sad that we have almost no control over the icons at the top - especially when space is at such a premium there.
