Hi

The start of Volte for open market S7 / S7 edge has been postponed a bit. We have to expand our Volte platform a little faster than expected because too many devices are becoming Volte-capable at once. Sorry. But it’s coming. Promised.

The start of Volte for open market S7 / S7 edge has been postponed a bit.

Volte has been working on my unbranded S7edge since I bought it in March 16. I’m waiting for WiFiCalling

@emq3108116 Have you tried turning on airplane mode and then turning on the WiFi? So WiFiCalling should actually work. (if it is activated by Swisscom)

As long as my S7edge is not entered in the Swisscom database for WiFiCal authorization, I cannot activate anything on the S7.

Starting today, the first open market S7/E should be activated after a subscription change or device replacement. Existing devices are made piece by piece from the beginning (no, the beginning is not the 1st at 00:00;-)) September to mid-September.

This is the current timetable. But that can still change if something comes up.

As @mstadler has already explained, a CarrierApp can be used, which can overwrite the hard-coded values ​​in the framework without the need for a special firmware update.

Google references in issue 176370 ([https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=176370#c4](https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail? id=176370#c4)) that it is not possible for them to integrate the values ​​of each provider individually, but the carriers can do it themselves, with reference to this page: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/carrier.html

It should therefore be entirely possible to retrofit the VoLTE function for any Android 6.0 device with the appropriate hardware.

@Anonymous Can you provide the above-mentioned CarrierApp? Please…

Exactly, that could be easily integrated into the MySwisscom app. This knows which Android is used, on which hardware and with which subscription. This means you can place a switch there, which then writes the settings into Android. This would mean you would stick to the Android standards and not have to tinker around with the firmware, which makes no sense at all.

Thanks @sToRmInG for the links. I’ll discuss it with my team.

Let’s hope for a speedy “healing”

@“x”#44444Oh and that without an extra firmware update? Did you receive a text message?

Now all you have to do is get the app for the Android 6.0 interface for all devices. It’s also available for iPhones…

On iPhones this is integrated into the OS. Apps are always…

@Anonymous In Android 6.x it is also integrated into the OS. The only thing missing is the app for one-time configuration.

Reading out the SIM Cert and writing the system config… not much different than the provider settings on iOS…

@“x”#373368Correct, without an extra update. Suddenly, shortly before 11 p.m., an SMS came “Welcome to the Advanced Calling world…blablabla.” Then I restarted the cell phone and everything was active.

okay… thank you swisscom that I paid extra for a swisscom branded Galaxy S7 a few weeks ago… by the way…

and now please simply activate this feature for all Android 6.x devices.

There would also be plenty of space on the Wifi Calling config page for settings such as:

- Prefer WLAN calling over LTE. -> so that Wifi calling is actually used when there is microscopic residual reception.

@tohil I explained why this now works with the S7 and not with other devices. With Samsung we can do that from now on.

@Anonymous

Yes I know. But does that mean that it could soon also be available for older models?! there’s nothing wrong with that.

greetings Angelo

No, not the older model. This is very clear so that there are no misunderstandings or false hope.
