[LG V30 Questions & Answers] SchinkenSpicker:
See here: http://www.lg.com/it/telefoni-cellulari/lg-LGH930G-lg-v30-plus-aurora-black

No release in the german speaking countrys sadly. I'm considering importing it from Italy ...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
LG v30+ for official carrier unlocked versions H930 and US998?

LG v30+ for official carrier unlocked versions H930 and US998?

Here's what I don't understand about the availability of the LG V30+ and colors of either the LG V30/LG V30+.

For the carriers -- OK, especially U.S. carriers -- LG is saying that the colors and models (V30, V30+) are chosen by the carriers, thus lack of the Moroccan Blue in the U.S. for instance. And the two SMALLEST carriers in the U.S. (Sprint and U.S. Cellular) got the V30+ while the three largest carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile) did not. VERY STRANGE. :rolleyes:

But LG says that's the CARRIERS' choice, and the carriers say NO, that's what LG is offering them. Especially the colors.

Well, here's where it hits the fan...

LG is the ONLY entity choosing what phones they sell as "open market" phones, a.k.a. official carrier unlocked phones -- the phones eligible for official bootloader unlock.

Where's the V30+?

Where's all the colors?

The official carrier unlocked US998 (not sold by any carriers, NOT the U.S. Cellular version) is ONLY silver so far -- and ONLY V30 (64GB configuration). At least that's all that

B&H Photo is showing on their website as of October 29, 2017

.

Where's the 128GB LG V30+ US998, and in Moroccan Blue?

Or even the LG V30+ for US998 in Black? We see that U.S. Cellular is selling their US998 (not eligible for bootloader unlock) in LG V30+ in both Silver and

Black

, so we know the BLACK LG V30+ US998 EXISTS. Why won't LG sell it to us?

(Since I want bootloader unlock and root, I will only be buying the official carrier unlocked versions, not the U.S. Cellular carrier version which regrettably shares the same model number.)

Actually, for BOTH the official carrier unlocked versions H930 and US998? Where's the V30+ and all the color choices?

Europe H930 is getting Moroccan Blue in regular LG V30 (64GB) configuration -- but North American US998 is not even getting that. But where's the LG V30+ for the H930 carrier unlocked version?

It's almost like LG doesn't want our money!

Thanks for the info. Hm guess I will import from Italy too. Hopefully it will be in Amazon sooner than later. Would prefer that cause of the good conditions.

I don't get it what lg is doing with there releases. It could have been so easy. The phone was announced 2 month ago and nobody knows exactly what is coming in which configuration.

They could have just released the same variants worldwide. With carriers choosing to lock the bootloader.

They are just about to fail another phone launch. Most people will buy another phone that's actually available because the v30 is not or they have no idea when it will launch.

I hate that. I wanted that phone so badly but I already have the Huawei mate 10 preorder in my amazon basket.

If it's not going to be released before the mate 10 it will be that phone.

Anyone else enjoying using VoLTE on their Pixel with AT&T? Conversations are so much clearer now. Could never go back to not using it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] browniegirl:
I didn't have hd calling enabled until I installed the 8.1 beta but it's so much better now
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] g33k3r:
Didn't realize it was because of the beta but yes, didn't realize what a difference it makes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dutchy716:
If HD voice is working on the beta is WiFi calling working as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
How did you enable it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] g33k3r:
Once you install the beta, you just go under mobile, advanced, and you should see a lte setting
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
see attached
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
I have that but when I make a call it switches to H+
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dratsablive:
I installed the beta, and that option was automatically selected.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Snow02:
Yep. Just tried turning on LTE only and I cannot make a phone call. So option is there, but not working at present.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SquireSCA:
Anybody know how to enable WiFi calling on this phone, or does ATT block any phone not approved and sold through them?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tehpdub:
works for me when i make a call, LTE stays on
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
I just chatted with At&t. They told me that both my pixel 2xl and my wife's pixel are compatible for HD Voice and Enhanced Messaging. They told me to wait 2 hours and reboot. I'll update this post with the results
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettingerr:
How did you get VoLTE turned on?

Edit: Realized there must not be a switch. Also decided to not be a dummy and actually read the first page of posts. LTE stays on for me when calling now.

Now if we could get enhanced messaging (10 mb limit) and wifi calling/texting, we'd be onto something
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
interesting. did you have to give them IMEI or any other info particular to those phones?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
So after 11 hours still no features. I contacted At&t and am now being told that the original Pixel XL is not compatible. The new Pixel 2XL may be but I will have to be approved. I provided my IMEI to the rep and they are supposed to email me back within 72 hours. I also provided her an ad I found from At&t encouraging people to bring their new Pixels to At&t. I provided some screen shots below for you guys
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
That sounds a lot more like AT&T :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eep2378:
Yup. I highly doubt this will go anywhere. Even if the pixel 2 has the capabilities, AT&T wants people to lease phones from them with their branding, period. I got an S8 through the Next program at launch (April) and VoLTE worked no problem. Before that I brought my own unlocked devices, Nexus 5, 6, and 6p. None of them ever were able to use advanced features.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Yep. It would be a clear departure from their current position that only AT&T branded devices get these advanced features.

One can hope though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Snow02:
Just had a chat with AT&T. You do need to contact them and give them your IMEI to get VoLTE working. Mine now works.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Well, just got off a 1/2 hr call to them.

Indeed I now have VoLTE service on my 2XL!

The techs had no idea how to do it. He kept trying to enable wi-fi calling (didnt have the resources to do that, neither did the android specialist).

So I asked them about HD Voice (ATT version of VoLTE) again said he didnt have the resources, so I suggested that my account/phone needed to be provisioned for it, he took my IMEI, changed it in the system, and after rebooting the phone, I now have LTE (instead of H) when calling.

Now, the tech seemed quite amazed that it actually worked, which I found funny, he was truly excited it happened, I could hear it in his voice.

He apologized a few dozen times throughout the call because it was taking so long and that they didnt have any documentation.

In the end, its working now, so I am happy.

Oh and calls sound a LOT better now for the folks that have HD Calling.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Snow02:
Nice! Yeah, I had to get transferred to a "tech specialist" on chat.

Glad they got it working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pro_b:
I'd like to know if anyone else has had success. ATT seem to be totally incapable of getting this enabled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
In my case, I had to tell them directly how to do it.

They need to provision your acct/phone for hd calling.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pro_b:
Well, I'm glad you've had luck. I've spoken with 4 different reps and still not working. They show my IMEI and they claim that it's provisioned for VoLTE, but I'm still getting the H when placing calls. I'm still on Oreo 8.0. Are you guys on the new developer 8.1 preview?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
Based on what I have read so far, 8.1 is required for VoLTE on ATT. There was a change in 8.1, described as:

Article from here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMeeseeks:
I thought they only allowed VoLTE on AT&T branded phones. Did they change this policy?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
Not accurate. At&t does not support devices that are not certified. There are several non-att phones that have always had volte.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
Ok I now have HD Voice on my Pixel 2xl. Took 3 reps and 4 days but finally. The original Pixel XL I have appears a no go. I also have Advanced Messages but unless I text with someone else who has it then it doesn't show.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
pretty sure you need 8.1

also you will need a SIM that is HD Voice capable (according to AT&T)...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ubeguy:
I'm so frustrated with this issue trying and it continues. They will NOT add my imei into the master list got same response pixel 2 is not supported because it's non ATT device. I only have 8.0 my sim ends in 27. This is an awesome phone any more feedback you guys can provide??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
Sounds like you need to go timothy mcveigh on their asses!!!!! lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ubeguy:
UPDATE Now resolved you have have the 8.1 update to get VOLTE once 8.1 was installed the votle provisioned auto. WiFi calling doest work but not a deal breaker.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
Has anyone tried this and then downgrading to 8.0 to see if you stay provisioned?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
I'm curious on this too. I want to mess around with custom kernels and TWRP but have not because of this lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
Well right now you're not missing out since there's no root and changes made to /system in TWRP don't stick when you boot :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjkacz:
Truth ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
The problem with downgrading Oreo from 8.1 to 8.0 is that in 8.0 the enhanced 4G option (HD Voice) is not available to enable, even if the SIM is provisioned.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
Gotcha, thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
From what I understand......att has to provision the phone to use HD features....and your phone has to have the capability....and you have to have an HD sim....but they don't provision non att branded phones except iPhones bought from Apple. My theory is though.....if you have another phone that has HD capability....have them turn the features on then take that Sim and put it in the pixel...it should work.....I haven't tried it but I think it should work.

Also...the HD features only work if both ppl have the feature and have it turned on and are both on att network....a lot of things have to come together for it to work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dmb219:
I had a sim in my Pixel 2 that was several years old, was cut down from a micro or whatever the larger size is. I got on at&t's chat and said I got a P2 but have an old sim and would like a new one so I can use HD calling. He said would you like me to send you one or you can go to a store. I said why don't you send me one. He overnighted me a new card. When I put it in, no network. The activation website wasn't helpful, seemed geared toward a new phone or line of service. Back on the chat & got sent to a "specialist" or something of that nature. He took my sim # & IMEI # and said give me 4 or 5 minutes. He came back and said restart, you should be good. The sim worked but I needed to move to the 8.1 beta to get the enhanced 4G LTE toggle in settings. Calls are louder and clearer with someone who also has the service. I had to turn my call volume down from my usual high setting, it sounds like it's on speaker.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Except now apparently in the case of the Pixel 2 XL. Pre-ordered mine from Google Store Oct. 4th.

They provisioned mine just the other day, and it works fine.

Several others have also reported success doing it as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] balleron24z:
1). Common misconception is that AT&T "won't allow" VoLTE on unlocked/non-branded Android devices, but there are multiple parts to this. I see more often than not that a device that supports VoLTE in general just doesn't have the proper configuration for AT&T's VoLTE (read: the IMS profile isn't set up), not to mention the modem configuration doesn't support it. AT&T may have a whitelist for "advanced services" on their network that devices must be on to access them, but there are work-arounds (like you mention, SIM swap from a branded device to non-branded, for example). However, based on what folks in this thread state, that doesn't seem to be required.

2). HD Voice ≠ VoLTE. On AT&T's network (as well as Verizon's), VoLTE is required for HD Voice to be available, but just because a call isn't utilizing "HD Voice" doesn't mean it's not utilizing VoLTE. It's to be noted that AT&T refer to VoLTE as "HD Voice" as to minimize consumer confusion (similar to how Verizon has Advanced Calling 1.0, which is effectively the same thing). When a phone is provisioned for "HD Voice" on AT&T's network, calls complete over the LTE (packet-switched) network instead of the legacy UMTS (circuit-switched) network regardless of who's being called. I can call a landline/business/non-interconnected carrier phone number, and the call will always complete over LTE, but the real HD Voice does only work if the recipient is on an interconnected network. Currently, Verizon and AT&T share HD voice calls for those who meet the networks requirements (proper SIM card, account and SIM provisioned for VoLTE, supported device).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
That's great news then....I have N6P and they wouldn't do it..... They should never have had that restriction anyway......ATT was the only carrier doing restrictions anyway...... All other carriers always let you bring your device and enjoy all the features the carrier had to offer. ATT should be ashamed of themselves!! Hopefully they are changing their policy.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] balleron24z:
Precisely, Verizon is also pretty bad about BYOP. However, they've got a different thing going on. You can't even activate a non-Verizon device with a new line unless the IMEI is in their database, otherwise, you need a branded device to do it (or an iPhone). Verizon does allow BYOP though, and as long as the phone has been certified for their network, then there should be no issue with usability. Advanced Calling 1.0/VoLTE is available on the vast majority of phones that have been certified with their network (read: the manufacturers ensured that the phone is configured to utilize VZW's network properly).

AT&T and Verizon both have their "neat" little quirks, so take your pick.

That sounds awesome by the way, hopefully 8.1 will drop soon so you don't have to wait. You could enroll in the beta honestly, unless you're just worried about stability, but I'd say once the full thing comes out, you'll be in great shape. Who knows, Google may even figure out WiFi Calling for AT&T before the full thing drops, they got VoLTE in this first DP!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcloadletter1:
I am assuming this will not work for prepaid ATT Gophone or Cricket. Cricket has HD voice for their branded devices, but will not add the Pixel 2XL when I called. The toggle is not the under settings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] balleron24z:
AT&T Prepaid doesn't have VoLTE nor WiFi Calling, and Cricket does have VoLTE and very sparse WiFi Calling availability (due to the low number of handsets that are configured to support it). In your case, make sure you're on the Android 8.1 DP1/DP2 beta, as that's the only OS that has it on Pixel 2/2XL. 8.0 doesn't have the toggle at all. Also, you should be able to access VoLTE providing you know it's been provisioned/working on a line with Cricket using one of their handsets.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SquireSCA:
What's weird is that I was able to easily get HD Calling and tethering enabled on my P2XL, simply by calling ATT and having them add my IMEI and provisioning it.

However, she said that on her end, Wifi Calling was also enabled, but I don't see a setting for Wifi Calling anywhere on my phone's menus... I have the latest 8.1 installed.

Where do I find these settings?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
just because it is provisioned, doesnt mean the phone is capable.

wi-fi calling isnt available for the pixel 2/xl on at&t, yet, if it ever will be.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] balleron24z:
Exactly. Both the OG Pixel and Pixel 2 (and their XL variants) support WiFi Calling, but because the IMS stack doesn't have a profile for AT&T's WiFi Calling, that's why it's not going to work. This is why the Pixel 2 and 2 XL don't support VoLTE on 8.0, but do on 8.1, because the device was updated with the proper configuration. I'd assume Google submitted the Pixel 2/2XL for certification on AT&T's network, and they certified them (and the IMEIs) so that in AT&T's system, they're "whitelisted" for VoLTE. WiFi Calling would most likely require the same certification, as well as device-side support.

I'm like you, I don't know if we'll see WiFi Calling on the Pixel 2 series using AT&T as a carrier, but it is possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettingerr:
Looks like VoLTE options have come with the November 8.0 update!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Not on AT&T it doesn't.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] apristel:
Does anyone know if VoLTR is available with Straight Talk (AT&T SIM)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
Well I just got my P2XL on ATT and I call to have the HD voice provisioned and it works. Both VoLTE and HD voice work. All call can use VoLTE but I can a friend of mine who has an iPhone on Verizon and noticed the HD symbol on the call. The call was louder and almost too clear. It kept picking up weird sounds...not background noise but some other sounds...but it was very clear though. Only had the one HD call though so far.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] e_jim:
Thanks a lot, Ian. Still haven't gotten around to try it, but will do it tomorrow morning and report back.

Just did a diff with the gps.conf included in LOS 14.1; there are some minor differences (I suspect much less than when compared with MIUI) but will try it anyway to see if it makes a a difference. Just for the record, I don't have terrible GPS performance (it takes a while to lock, and accuracy could be better) but any improvement would be welcome.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] e_jim:
Just tried your gps.conf; copied it into /system/etc using TWRP, rebooted, recalibrated compass and cleared and updated AGPS (I used the "GPS Test" app). I'm using 7.9.22 dev firmware and LineageOS 14.1, latest build (10.24).

The performance for me was about the same than with the default LineageOS gps.conf, both in accuracy and 3D Lock time; I suspect the change might be more spectacular for MIUI users, so I'd give it a try if I had severe GPS problems. As I told before, my GPS performance is not great, but not terrible either.

Anyway, thanks a lot, [MENTION=8367991]ianhughes74[/MENTION] for your work!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ianhughes74:
Yes, you're right. I made minor changes with the default file included in LOS.

Now basically the data files are served over HTTPS with SSL while the default was served over HTTP without SSL, this allows an attacker to mount a MITM attack on the network level and modify the GPS assistance data while in transit.

I switched the XTRA_VERSION_CHECK from 0 to 3 because it's obvious that xtra3grc.bin are XTRA 3.0 files.

And I includes the address pool.ntp.org as the main NTP server because it's global, the system will try finding the closest available servers for you. However, this is a dynamic IP server, so, a fixed time reference becomes more reliable, fast and secure. If your country have a NTP server with a static IP, please consider adding the address to the file.

But for now you can try to replace the lines to:

NTP_SERVER=cl.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_1=south-america.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER_2=gpsntplpsc.duckdns.org

NTP_SERVER_3=time.izatcloud.net

But consider using the GPS Locker app because it is much better than the GPS Test and GPS Data. You just need to open it once and wait for fix, then your gps signal is locked and the app keep awake running in the background.

It drains more battery, but is required if you're an advanced user that use gps all the time. Whenever I'm on the street I keep the GPS Locker and Cellular data open because I use Cerberus antitheft, so if I get mugged or if I lose my phone I can track him down and retrieve it.

I hope I've helped.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] e_jim:
Quick update: I was on 7.9.22 firmware before. Just to be sure, I flashed a newer FW (7.10.19) together with your gps.conf, and GPS lock times improved drastically! Accuracy also improved a good bit. Thanks a lot again!

I'll have to remember to copy your file over the default one each time I flash a LOS weekly, but it's worth it :)
