If anyone has an iPhone with iOS 11 beta 2 and wants to experience calling plus, you now can. Place a wifi call and then disable wifi. VoLTE :).

Sweet. Hopefully it launches fully with the final build.

Something else to note - field test no longer works in the second iOS 11 beta, at least on my iPhone 6S. That’s something I’m going to miss a lot.

 

Hoping Qualcomm phones will get a new field test in a coming update like the Intel ones recently did.

Hmmm, is this really calling Plus or cheap trick....

 

If on my wifi data does work after starting call and turn off wifi......

 

I then end call and leave wifi off, make another call and try data, nadda.....

 

Update, maybe prepping for Calling Plus but not active while not on wifi and turning wifi off.

 

Just made call away from home and no data!!!!

Yeah the worst part is we can still bring the field test app up, but it just sits at "Connecting" forever. :(

Just like the Intel phones used to...:/.

 

That’s why I think there may be an update to field test coming soon.

Can confirm that field test is operative once again in iOS 11 dev beta 3. It still craps itself after loading all of the information, but at least it works like it did pre-beta 2.

so VOLTE testing on sprint?

I would not surprised if apple dropped everything but LTE, no cdma/gsm backup.

 

For providers without volte in place, place calls over updated facetime audio that functions like google voice over ip.

I would.  Quite simply put, GSM and CDMA have much better and broader coverage than LTE, not to mention many countries still don't have LTE fully (or even extensively) rolled out.  

 

Here are a few examples of the coverage difference between LTE and older legacy technologies:

- Areas around my house get AT&T B5 WCDMA/HSPA but not B17/B12/B5 LTE even though each of these technologies come from the same sites with the same sector alignments.

- Driving on 79 between Ithaca, NY and I-81, Verizon has phenominal CDMA coverage wheras LTE is scarce, despite every site running B13 at full power alongside CDMA BC0.

Just came back to Sprint.... First thing I did was install iOS11 and try the Wi-Fi to LTE handoff. :-) Seamless!

 

Hopefully there is a carrier update in a few months that allows Calling Plus, if not full on VoLTE. Sprint has been building out like crazy in Upstate NY the last few months and I think that's why. The time is up for GMO sites....

Is CA on B41 supported? Or have to obtain Sprint version?

i am getting a iphone 7plus...is anyone experiencing the battery life issue with ios 11?

I am having issues with my 6S+ currently.  I did not update iOS until 11.0.1 was released over the weekend.  I will say the battery will go from 100% to 90% in 15 to 20 minutes regardless of how I am using the phone.  It does not happen when I am not using it.

    • My s24 Ultras auto updated to April 1 security patch over night. Not on wi-fi.  Play system remains at March 1. No notice that update occurred on screen.
    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.
    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
