H930DS - LTE+ support on Indian carriers? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Guys, since chipset (SD835) on v30 supports 3CA, while OP5/5T supports LTE+ on Indian carriers Jio and airtel,
Does LG v30 - Indian H930DS model support LTE+ on Jio by any chance?

If so, I would buy this right away, if H930DS supports LTE+ and VoLTE in custom ROMs. Need to confirm if VoLTE works in LOS..
This "VoLTE" in custom ROMs at XDA has been recently evolving as taboo..!
Anyways, do you use custom ROMs in your V30..?

EDITED TO CORRECT MISINFORMATION. YOU DO NOT LOSE DUAL SIM card functionality.

The Indian LG V30+ supports Jio VoLTE on stock India Nougat. Oreo for that region has not been released yet, and while you can flash to another region to get Oreo then you would lose the Jio VoLTE.
You can only get root by flashing to H930 or the CIS H930DS OREO KDZ.
Perhaps with root you can flash parts back to get VoLTE like the Verizon guys have done -- or even 2nd SIM back -- but I can't promise that.

Thanks for your help, but I'd want to clarify the context little clear.
As you might know, Jio is LTE-only carrier and VoLTE is the only way of calling in that network. However, my question is about something else, viz. LTE+ - The capability of the phone to support certain LTE features like multiple carrier aggregations (CA), 256QAM, 64x64MIMO
Here in India, two carriers namely, Airtel and Jio have enabled LTE-CA in major cities. Hence I would want to know since some V30 Indian guys were confirming me LTE+ in Stock ROM - if LTE+ is supported even in custom ROM after BL unlock?
(Reason, why I'm looking for this, is, networks here are so much congested that during peak time, I hardly get 200kBps from single Band40-TDD LTE cell. If LTE+ is available on custom ROMs like in OP5/6 it will help get over this congestion)

I don't know. I also just corrected my post for quoted. You don't lose dual SIM functionality with bootloader unlock and root on the H930.

Hi, just like volte support on our indian stock, the lte+ also works only Indian stock too.
I am currently on Boobox rom rooted with twrp and bootloader unlocked I dont get lte+. Rest assured everything is working great and on lte+ I saw nothing of much improvement over airtel since they have started to compete with jio prices.
So take my words root it and feel the freedom.

Thanks for stepping-in! I thought I wont get any further replies..
In my case, Jio has CA in 3 bands (Bands 3+5+40). And the place where I reside has pathetic network reception. I was about to switch to airtel, until I saw my friend OP5 getting marvellous speeds at the same place.
Also in your case, airtel has 2 bands CA (Bands 3+40). And since Band 3 will be so much congested, you wouldn't have got any considerable difference. Hence It should theoretically improve connectivity with my Jio..., However, before I jump, Can you install root app called NSG and share its screenshot?

Can you specify which screenshot you exactly looking as this app has more then 10 screens.
FYI it still has lte bands 1, 3, 5, 40 and 41 which are required in India.

I'm looking for LTE CA Matrix and LTE Cell Table pages
My current Redmi Note 4 though supports 2CA, some support on modem is missing it seems... Hence it's showing LTE+ in mine despite not aggregating with 2nd cell. I was suspecting LTE+ to be still there, but may be your ROM isn't showing you.. Hence those Screenshots would help understand that..

Can This Phone Do VoLTE?

curious to know?

Click to expand...

no it is not about phone .. it is about your operator ... ask them if they have launched it yet .. what i know no one operator has HD voice yet .. maybe in korea or japan .. advanced tech countries..
so simply if u can have 4g then it is up to your OP which has it launched or activated.. otherwise no..
am on 4g and obviously when i make call it jumps to 3g .. crappy canny sound about 64kbps or maybe less..
I am on Metro PCS which is now MetroPCS/TMobile -same Towers etc.
MetroPCS was I think first to feature VoLTE long before the Merger.
This means we were able to surf the Internet while on a call , even play Videos while on a call and staying on the LTE Bands.
Researching the purchase of my Alpha I talked and texted with TMobile personnel etc and checked for proper Bands BUT was never reminded that many phones do NOT have the software for VoLTE.
So my Alpha 850 M does NOT do VoLTE on Metro/Tmobile because it does NOT have Software for this- it may be added with Android Lollipop.
THIS is the problem with most non Carrier Phones on Metro/Tmobile-I assumed it was just good matching Bands and my Alpha has the LTE Bands for Tmo BUT a phone needs the Software to do VoLTE .
I am not a Dev so feel free to correct this if I am not correct BUT I was surprised when I make a call
on Alpha to see the LTE indicator drop to 3G as soon as I make a call and no simultaneous Internet
BUT when H+ kicks in, sometimes very fast sometimes not I can be on Internet or even Youtube while on a call and the H+ is pretty fast.
I am playing around with the Settings to optimize
the switching having NO idea what I am doing just trial and error, lol.
There is a SLIM chance that there IS a Kies Download or a enable feature buried deep within the Alpha but I doubt it.
Yes, I am using Galaxy Alpha SKTelecom model, and i can use VoLTE. So it depends on your carrier, I think. Thanks.

I get VoLTE on my T-Mobile Galaxy Avant in my area, but I do NOT get VoLTE with my Galaxy Alpha. That seems to point to the device.

Yes because the Avant is a Tmobile/MetroPCS Phone it has that feature in it's Software to utilize that feature on TMo/Metro Network.
I am NOT sure if ANY Smartphone is smart enough to have VoLTE across multiple Carrier Networks- I think this is Carrier Specific .
However I have read but not confirmed that Lollipop may feature VoLTE.
If Alpha was a Tmobile phone it would have VoLTE on Tmo/Metro Network. But it is not a Tmobile Phone.
Does ANY unlocked phone do VoLTE on TMobile ? That is the question.
Hi
I am not able to activate volte in India with jio volte. Jio provides volte. Kindly help me to activate volte. I am using sm-g850y.

carrier aggregation issue on xiaomi phones

hey everyone, I'd like to open a discussion about getting carrier aggregations on our phones, as you already know many of us can't get this feature that's already been implemented on our carriers in many countries or in some countries one carrier does and one doesn't. it's called LTA-A, LTE plus. 4G Plus network
I saw a post on reddit and I quote :
"TIL : Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo) doesn't support Inter-band CA
Recently, I just bought a carrier aggregation enabled operator's SIM card (Digi) to try out this phone's CA aka LTE-A aka 4G+. For your information, I live in Malaysia and you could look up for this operator in this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Asia. To my surprise, there's no 4G+ icon show up so I'd decided to look up for more info on Chinese MIUI regarding this. Users that are able to access 4G+ are all China Mobile users and China Telecom users are not able to. China Mobile had intra-band CA and China Telecom had inter-band CA and hence I came with a conclusion, this phone doesn't support Inter-band CA."
which makes sense to me, as the carrier in my country which is Iran uses Inter-Band CA and won't work on my phone which is kenzo(rn3).also none of the xiaomi phones work either (entry level to flagship ones)
so, does anyone have the knowledge to tell me and the others that is it possible to change Intra-Band CA to Inter-Band CA? or is it the hardware that should be changed in order to work?
note : LTE bands aren't the issue here, both carrier and phones support them.
@TheStrix @flar2 @franciscofranco @MEGAX91 @billchen1977 @dadi11 @psndna88 @xyyx (please don't mind the order)
any suggestions regarding this issue?
@MEGAX91 I believe you were successful on your device(kate). is there a complete guide for everyone that could follow?

3. are indian bands supported especially for airtel and jio?
4. will warranty be covered in india?

1. Yes
2. No. Jio VoLTE will NOT work.
3. Bands may be supported, but if there is 4G+ (LTE-A) in India, that may not work. And if you use a Jio SIM, only data will work, no voice calls due to lack of VoLTE.
4. No it won't.
5. Aside from the fact that VoLTE / LTE-A will not work on any network. Not really.
Regarding the band compatibility;
The S9+ USA model supports the following LTE bands (source: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s9+-8967.php)
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 14(700), 17(700), 18(800), 19(800), 20(800), 25(1900), 26(850), 28(700), 29(700), 30(2300), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500), 46, 66(1700/2100), 71(600) - USA
India LTE bands (source: https://m.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=India)
LTE 850 (5), LTE 1800 (3), LTE 2100 (1), LTE 2300 (40), LTE 2500 (41)
So you should be fine regarding LTE compatibility (not sure about VoLTE and LTE-A).
Regarding warranty only the local Samsung customer service will be able to answer this 100% accurate (most likely no warranty).

As far as i know
1. No. You need to insert a country specific sim to activate/unlock the device.
2. No.
3. Yes. But in the first place you need to unlock the device which is not possible.
4. No.
5. You cannot root the device because bootloader is locked in snapdragon version and No carrier aggregation(LTE-A) support because the ca combinations are country/CSC specific.
Hi,
I have US bought tmobile unlocked s9+ device..JIO VOLTE doesnt work .. is it not fixable at all ?
Or is there a way out ?
Thanks
Bharat
M too facing same issue.
I researched a lot in last 2weeks on same but of no luck, found our that regarding volte the issue arising in many countries,
Small positive info got day before yesterday in s8forums Tgey said it was due to CSC in the firmware . And now a days all firmwares are multi CSC loaded, but since we used the phone in usa CSC from there was loaded, so I order load indian CNC we have to do the below.
if they just activated the phone after hard reset using indian sim they were able to use usa version with jio.. But I tried that too in vain no luck for us.
You may try above but.. you may lose data.. advise smart switch feature to sd card... if willing to do hard reset.
Please update if any luck
You may find ref link https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/how-to-install-indian-firmware-csc-inu-t3624953
I have not played with these before ..like installing firmware and all..mine is SM G965U model .. not sure the method mentioned would work ! 965F us international model ? And tweaks to this model only work not US models ?
I checked with Samsung too.. they said its country specific .. i dont know whether to try this method or leave as it is !!
Thanks
Even I got stuck over us CSC, and all samsung pay rewards which were only for us citizens..
Mine is G965U1, VOLTE doesnt work in india.
Since snapdragon not yet unlocked I had no options for VOLTE.. even If I do I may have to let go the Spay...
My advise don't Buy.. during deals we almost get similar rate e commerce sites in india...

Hey,

Thanks in advance
I have a S9+ snapdragon from T-mobile. Recently visited India. Jio volte does not work which was expected. But Airtel had bad reception and the internet would not work even intermittently when the 4g symbol was in display. However, in the same location, side by side, another airtel number on moto g worked flawlessly.
Even though the S9+ specifications shows all the network bands supported by Airtel, i did not expect to face the above problem. I am planning to sell the phone in the USA and buy a oneplus from India.
[SOLVED] use JIO SIM card on S9+ US Version in India
I purchased an S9+ ATT in December 2018, tried to use JIO SIM in India but no luck , then I wanted to get rid of ATT logo, which comes up every time I reboot my device. Did some research then and came across this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/how-to-flash-u1-firmware-to-device-t3765200.
Was able successfully flash my device to US Unlocked version from ATT version 4 months ago , now I can see VoLTE toggle. Again tried to use JIO SIM , didn't work . Since then my device gets regular OTA updates :angel:.
AIRTEL network in my area sucks, Now 09/2019 again I tired to use JIO SIM and it works flawlessly.

download the firmware for your carrier from www.sammobile.com/firmwares and flash it via Odin. If its the same android version, br sure to use the HOME_CSC file when flashing vs the normal CSC file to avoid an unnecessary factory reset. Flashing the HOME_CSC vs the CSC will allow you to keep all your stuff on your phone, CSC will factory reset it.

voLTE wont work unless you flash the CSC for your carrier on the device. voLTE is a carrier specific thing and requires the carrier specifc software to be installed which happens when the correct CSC file is on the device and the corresponding sim is entered

LS998 > US998 V30+ not working on Jio LTE in India :/

I'm a little confused as to why I am currently having this issue.
I'm on 20H US998 firmware currently in India and have unlocked band 40 using the T-Mobile hidden menu so theoretically I should be able to get full LTE coverage around India on this device but I am not able too.
My theory is that the US version of the V30 doesnt actually have the required firmware to operate on Jio with LTE at all.
I've verified this by flashing Lineage OS and getting the same issue.
SIM detected, jumps on network, no LTE = no VoLTE
Before you tell me I have the APN settings skewed im 99% sure I am right on that, however if anyone has any settings they would like me to try I would be happy too as currently I'm using my iPhone SE and I miss my 1440p OLED when I'm out and about

Jio VoLTE only works on two firmware -- ESA (India) H930DS and recent EU H930. I've only heard it working on H930DS phone, while using one of those two firmwares.
Just because you "unlocked" a band in hidden menu doesn't mean it's actually working. Same with unlocking the T-Mobile LTE band 71 on rooted US998.

Jio uses LTE bands 3, 5, 40. You're not going to get LTE band 40 on the US998, but you can get LTE bands 3 and 5. If you are in area where Jio has LTE bands 3 and 5, you should get a regular data connection. Do you live in an area where Jio uses only LTE band 40?

I don't think you understand. I'm able to get service where other devices I own are connecting to 3, and 5. However, the LTE icon never shows, preventing me from getting LTE connectivity altogether. I'm observing the same behaviour with my US SIM card which shows bars, but once more no LTE.

That sounds like an authorization issue, with Jio. Where you can see bars but not actually connect it's because the carrier is not letting you connect.

Maybe it’s my Sprint IMEI number??? Idk. I just tried to flash the H930 EU TWRP zip and restored my US998 modem, but SIM wasn’t detected. Maybe I need LGUP.

I was double check the APN, and contact Jio technical support. Maybe they need to do something on their end for your US998 to connect.

Jio technical support...that's kinda a joke tbh lol.
Assuming I find an agent who speaks English, what would I tell them?

Hope you get data working on LTE bands 3 and 5.

LG G8X Sprint - Convert to Canadian (Freedom Mobile)

Hello, I bought an LG G8X from USA (model # LM-G850UM) which has the Sprint firmware on it. Is it possible to convert it to the Canadian firmware and lock the bootloader after flashing it? The goal is to be able to use Wifi calling from Freedom Mobile which is not available with the current firmware. Furthermore, I want to be able to use Google Pay and Netflix if at all possible.
I did not find any links on the net to download the Canadian firmware.
I have the LMG850EMW variant in India and am facing severe issues with JIO on LTE. The network indicator keeps flipping between LTE and LTE+. I have not seen an update since March 24th. This phone has given me the worst experience so far. Unfortunately this guide seems to only work for single SIM variants.
