[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Previous models like the Z2 and Z3 Xperia phones had both VoLTE & HD Voice included, even in the international versions. But since the Z5 and even with the upcoming X series phones, these features were removed. Does ANYONE know why Sony did this?? I have a couple ideas, but I'd like to know if anyone knows anything more concrete. Any information would be great!!

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] AndroPlus:
Well, some country (mostly Asia/Europe) has VoLTE option on Z5.

On my Japanese docomo's X Performance also has VoLTE option, so maybe some country/customization will have VoLTE option.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Andro,

Very interesting! Let me ask you.....I've pre-ordered the INTERNATIONAL version of the X Performance. Is that the version that you have too? Or did you get your X Performance from a Japanese carrier?? Please let me know. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] AndroPlus:
I was selected to test Japanese carrier's X Performance before launching in Japan;)

I will get international Dual (F8132), though.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Oh. So it's from a Japanese carrier......I was hoping you were gonna tell me it was the international version. Oh well. lol :(

VoLte also use by an application, in india only Jio Innfocom is ony VoLte provider and for non VoLte Phones they are using JioConnect App For Hd Calling So Don't Worry About VoLTe.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Well here in America I found out from T-Mobile's Tech Support Department that I'll still be able to make calls in a 4G LTE-only area even without VoLTE, which is fine. But the problem is Band 12/700 MHz. This is very valuable low-bandwidth spectrum which T-Mobile JUST purchased in my area (Chicago) a week ago. So within the next 6-8 mos this will become available for all customers like myself. Band 12 is very good at penetrating through buildings, unlike the higher spectrums, so that's why people would want it. But I found out that if I buy the X Performance, b/c it doesn't have VoLTE on it, I can ONLY use Band 12 for data while on a call, not for the call itself. Which means I WON'T be able to take advantage of having Band 12, even though the XP has it. They said your phone can only use Band 12 for phone calls if you have VoLTE. The other bandwidths don't require VoLTE but Band 12 does. So I'm NOT happy about this.

I could get an HTC 10 through T-Mobile today, and it would have VoLTE, but the camera on the 10 isn't as good as the XP's, and the XP looks cooler too, plus has front-facing STEREO speakers. So I dunno. I'm really p'd off Pramo because I feel like I have to sacrifice something I really like just to have the XP.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] sxtester:
Can't verify it myself as I don't have a Z5 series phone, but according to a list on Wikipedia the Z5 series does have HD Voice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smartphones_with_HD_Voice_support#Sony

So, what makes you believe the Z5 or the new X series would not support HD Voice?

Also, the Z5 series reportedly supports VoLTE, depending on carrier of course:

[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
sxtester,

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing these links. It seems that perhaps Sony DID put VoLTE on these phones. But I am in the process of reaching someone at Sony internally (via T-Mobile's "contact" person who works at Sony Mobile) to verify all this. But this is very promising news, and MUCH appreciated!! The MAIN thing is to find out whether or not the Xperia X Performance will have VoLTE or not, and if they have already certified VoLTE with T-Mobile or not? See this link in order to follow up over the next week or two.

Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
Sony has included VoLTE on the XP, I think the intl, version is the same as the Hong Kong Version, I have personal seen this feature on the retail version of the XP, just a few more days before I get mine.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] MGSBigBoss:
The ones that had it were carrier specific Z5s there is no universal volte unless sony certified with the carriers for the model
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
hey kms,

That's the thing........ we're not 100% sure the HK version is the same as the int'l version. It might be, but I'd rather know for sure. I will find out soon enough (see last few posts) whether or not the XP will have VoLTE on it or not, etc.

A few days? Nice!! Lucky! lol I probably still got another month before I get it. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] nehway0912:
Hello,

I know this is out of topic. But could you please let me know if the X Performance uses in-cell touch display? This can be done by checking the screen if it has "patterns" on the screen like the Z3.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] AndroPlus:
Yes, X Performance uses in-cell touch display.

I can't see patterns and Sony's developer explained they used in-cell to make unified design.

I can also confirm it uses in-cell because there is touch driver for in-cell in kernel source.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] corallus:
HD voice uses 3g signals (H, H+, 3g)

VoLTE uses (obviously) true 4g signals (4g, LTE)

It is up to networks to provide access to the services as they are done on a network level, not handset level
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hey corallus,

How u been?

So is there a way to make my int'l XP I just bought get 4G on a call instead of what it HAS been doing which is switching back and forth from 3G and H+/3.5G?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] corallus:
Not bad dude,

It's one of those things where you gonna have to speak to T-mobile.

It MAY depend on the phone having their firmware on, it normally does.. But, guessing not released on their network yet..

Give them a call and see what plans they have for providing the service on their network.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
corallus,

Yeah I was gonna give them a call prob tomorrow about it. My Contacts app is being weird too, and Wi-Fi is acting a lil funny too on my phone. So I decided to just use Xperia Companion to wipe the phone clean and reinstall the software. I'm HOPING that does the trick. I guess I'll find out shortly.

I know they'll prob say they can't do anything about it, but can't hurt to call them. Since I bought the phone unlocked (like I had a choice Sony?! lol) that's not gonna help much, plus it's the int'l version of the XP too. So I dunno. We'll see what they say.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] Devries:
Hi, I have got a X performance today, do you want to make a custome kernel for XP? :D
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
I can comfirm that VoLTE is on my unit.

without a VoLTE Usim, the icon does not show, but once a supported Usim is inserted, the VoLTE will show up, and operative.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
hey kms,

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

So which carrier do you have? Is a Usim the same as a regular sim card?? How do you get one?

Would it make any difference for me being on T-Mobile? Not really sure it would, but just wondering. I don't get the 4G T-Mobile band for phone calls on this phone (Band 2, 2100 MHz), only the 3G/H+ one (Band 2, 1900 MHz), but once my area gets Band 12/700 MHz in about 3-6 mos, I should. Still, it would be cool to have it on the phone in case T-Mobile ACTUALLY removes that idiotic VoLTE certification garbage. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
It's just a name, Usim is just a upgrade of the existing sim, to support 3G and 4G, nothing more.

The Usim is on 3 network, it wasn't my card, it was my friends who work as a sony promotor, I couldn't find the VoLTE on my phone when I was checking the phone in the store, but it was on the display unit at the Sony Store, they say it was a retail unit, and my friend had a Z5 premium and she was using VoLTE, so I used her card in my phone, and VoLTE just popped out.

I think even the HK version XP is the international one, even yours was sent from Hong Kong, so you should have it too, once your network supports it, it will show up, you can also goto the settings/wireless & network/More/Mobile Network/VoLTE should show up there.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
I see. Can you give me a link (preferably Amazon US) where I can buy an official one?

Yeah the one I got is from HK, but I'm not sure it's the same as int'l one. I say that b/c my int'l XP (which again I DID buy from a seller in HK) does NOT have VoLTE listed. My "Mobile network settings" screen looks IDENTICAL to yours except no field/entry for VoLTE.

Let me know your thoughts and any other suggestions, and uSIM answer too. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
The sim you have is Usim, only a 2G sim is called a sim, but many people still just call them the sim.

My phone didn't show the VoLTE at first, it didn't show this on the active quick setting either (the menu that you pull down from the screen), after the VoLTE Usim was put it, it probably loaded some setting, as it shut down and say load settings.

https://www.justaskgemalto.com/en/what-difference-between-sim-and-usim-cards/
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
kms,

Oh ok I see.

So.........how do I get that on MY phone??! lol

Let me know. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
find someone who is already using VoLTE, just put that Usim in your phone.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
kms,

But I've been using the same SIM for over 2 years now. And my Xperia Z3 had VoLTE on it as did my more recent (and now sold off) Galaxy S7. But that (VoLTE) option does not show up on my XP. So what does that have to do with it??
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
is that sim active
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Of course. lol I just made phone calls on it this morning.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
may be as some one has said, you need that certificate.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
But my other phones (Z3, S7) were T-Mobile locked phones and they had it? Only difference is they were locked and also US versions. But I still used the same SIM on those and they had VoLTE listed, so what about that? lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
As you said, the other phone are of the US variation, the XP is not a US variation, try a Usim from a country that support VoLTE and has the offcial XP, otherwise, you just have to wait for the certificate or T mobile to sort this out.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
kms,

Well there is a US XP but it doesn't have fingerprint software on it.

Is yours the US XP or int'l kms?? And what is your carrier, and what country are you in?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
I have the Hong Kong version XP, and i'm located in Hong Kong, I don't have access to VoLTE as i'm only using 3G Usim for both slots, when I got the phone yesterday, it does not have VoLTE, I have searched throughout the phone and could not find it, after inserting a friends Usim which has VoLTE enabled, VoLTE shows up on my phone, even though i'm using 3G Usim now, my phone still shows VoLTE in the quick menu and settings, although it's disabled,
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
kms,

Maybe the Hong Kong version IS different than the int'l version then?

Perhaps because my XP is not certified for T-Mobile's VoLTE that is why I'm not seeing it? My Z3 WAS through T-Mobile and it did have VoLTE on it. I thought it would at least show up but I guess if not certified it doesn't. This is what I'm thinking now after what you just said.

What happened with you...........not sure. Does your friend have a different carrier than you? THAT would explain a lot if yes. lol

So you put your friend's in, then put back yours back in and it shows the VoLTE option, or is that ONLY when your friend's is in it??

So you can't enable it?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
I only have a 3G card, so yes, VoLTE is not available for me, but at least I know the phone supports it, can you PM me a photo of the sticker on the box, no need for the imei or bar code, or just write the information and pm me, model number, rev version, etc.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
kms,

A friend on here told me when he used his T-Mobile SIM like I have he sees the option to see which mobile networks are available. But after switching to AT&T he says that is no longer there. So I guess now we have even more proof that it's the

SIM card

that will determine whether or not the XP displays the VoLTE option or not. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
i'm sure no one has the right answer, I'm using two 3G sim in the phone ATM, and non of them support VoLTE, but the function is still on the phone, although not selectable, at least it hasn't disappear.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
kms,

So just to be clear, since using your friend's SIM that made VoLTE both appear and active, even after going back to your own SIM, it STILL appears but just isn't active??

At least we can say it IS VoLTE-capable. lol
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] kms108:
correct, at least mine has this feature, and yours is from Hong Kong so, it should also have it, you just have to activate it.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
kms,

Ok thanks for verifying that.

Yeah but it doesn't look like any of the U.S. SIM cards can do it. At least not T-Mobile (mine) or even AT&T. So that sux but oh well. If Sony Mobile actually DID decide to get VoLTE certified with T-Mobile, I wonder if it would then show up? I don't think so though b/c AT&T doesn't require that certification and I think MGS (who now has AT&T for his XP) said he doesn't see VoLTE listed either. I dunno. lol So confusing.

[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] akshay2shah:

Go to that thread and follow steps. ?

It will work only if Your carrier didnt not lock VoLTE to certain xperia models.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Oh, I checked that thread....... it involves rooting?? Mehhhh. lol I've rooted b4 and don't want to do that again.

Well I have T-Mobile, and I guess they made it so the phone has to be "T-Mobile VoLTE-certified" with them for VoLTE to work, but they DO offer VoLTE for sure. I'm not sure though if it will work with them b/c the phone did not come through them and so I don't believe it was certified. So confusing!!

What do u think?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] akshay2shah:
Without Root its impossible !

Dont know about T mobile usa.

I live in india and my carrier is Reliance Jio.

My carrier support VoLTE to any unlocked phone.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Yeah I know it's impossible. lol

Yeah it sounds like there's no shot.........even if I did it, I have little confidence it would actually work on T-Mobile. AT&T doesn't have that rule, but F AT&T lol.............I'd have to pay $35 more a month for the same plan I have now with T-Mobile, and their network at THIS point has just been rated as third with T-Mobile just recently taking the #2 spot away from them (Verizon is #1, but F Verizon too with their overpriced plans BS lol).

Still, this is good info to have. The funny thing is, I had the Galaxy S7 THROUGH T-Mobile so of course it came with VoLTE/HD Voice, but my int'l unlocked X Perf which did NOT come through T-Mobile still sounds BETTER with regards to phone call sound quality than the S7 did! Crazy!! So to me, the only real advantage to having VoLTE is that VoLTE-enabled calls connect quicker than non-VoLTE calls do. But I don't call out THAT much, so to me, waiting an extra 4-5 seconds or so isn't a big deal.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] SovPanda:

For others who are trying, phone has to be certified by tmobile before any unlocked phone gets to use its volte. Luckily ZTE certified the axon 7 :)

Yes that is true. It's really not a big deal to me though. It takes a few seconds longer for outgoing calls to connect, but the clarity is still there on phone calls.
