VOLTE?

VOLTE?

Does the XA support VOLTE? The whitepaper on Sony Mobile's site states that the device does. But I am on T-Mobile US network and calls drop to UMTS/HSPA(3G). Sony support says the device does support VOLTE and I need to talk to carrier. Carrier says if the device supports VOLTE it should work. Nobody is giving good support. Does anyone know?

Congratulations sony you did it again

No Volte feature that i have been waiting for past 6 months to xa and xa ultra

I thought that you will include that feature in nougat update

But you delayed the nougat update

Also with VoLTE provisoned off that can't be turned on

In future i will never recommend any one to buy sony mobile

I will suggest them to buy redmi lowest rate mobile rather than to buy sony highest rate mobile

Cause they included at least the core features that sony dont includes

Method 2
this method is the universal method on all android phones, whoever the manufacturer this option will work for you.

Step 1: Open dialer app

Step 2: Dial *#*#4636#*#*

Step 3: Choose phone Information

Step 4: Select VoLTE provisioned flag

That’s it, now restart your phone

Step 5: Go to settings menu >More >Cellular networks and enable ENHANCED 4G LTE mode.

Now you can enjoy HD call aka VoLTE calls on your smartphone.

Hi,
Sim is unlocked and I can access interent at 4G from the same. For making free voice call the phone must support Enhanced 4G capabilities called as Voice over LTE. But currently XA ULTRA has only LTE support.

I understand that you want VOLTE but you already have an answer, this has to be enabled by carriers. A carrier network will not tell their customers that they will NOT invest time nor resources to implement this on the update; just like sometimes carriers aren't honest and don't tell their customers that they will NOT approve any future updates even if the cellphone manufacturer release and update. 

VOLTE has to be enabled and implemented by the carrier, you could keep complaining on this forum, which is a global user based forum, or you could keep contacting Sony but you should be contacting and complaining to your carrier, at the end of the day you are free to do as you please, if you want to continue posting here, that's fine, just comply with the forum guidelines.

While buying xperia xa ultra i never expected that this phone not supports "Volte" even below 10k price phones in india having this feature. 

I hoped sony will enable this feature(volte)  in the next update.. 

But disappointed.. 

I cand understand why sony taking it as a silly thing..

Why some of you still complaining about VoLTE? To make these calls, both phones need to work with VoLTE. Why you want to enable a function, even if Sony had that option, to be able to speak with maybe 1 or 2 devices compatible with that function? Nokia 3310 is not compatible 

It`s like having an analog audio source to create a digital noise. You will loose quality in both end plus VoLTE wont work at all. In other word,to my understanding it`s not that Sony doesn`t want to, your device must have a compatible operator and the ROM of that operator. Not a customised country ROM

It's all fine with my xperia but when I'm  trying to call 🤙 someone with jio in my xperia xa dual. The call ends automatically why I don't know, and now I am using 4g voice to call someone and I want to know why it's happening why 4g voice is needed to call someone, in that case when I am using galaxy j5 it's properly working without a 4g voice app. Please help me please.

I can't understand why Sony makes phool Xperia user's? Lots of time Sony claims that Xperia xa ultra doesn't support volte update because it's required hardware support which xa ultra have doesn't and no one Xperia device's get volte update through software update but if  it is correct then how to Sony xperia x getting  VOLTE OTA  update ??? This also one tipes of software updates so don't make us phool..

I'm in India and my carrier Jio has a LTE only network which uses VoLTE exclusively for calls. I know my xperia xa ultra has volte but I can't enable it anyway. I'm currently using an app my carrier provides for non volte phones to make calls. When I contacted carrier customer service they seem to think my phone doesn't have volte feature. Since this is an unlocked handset please help me to enable volte. 

I really hoped nougat update would enable volte.
