@Ameen I have op7 on android 10 and i don't have the option. So i guess it is not necessary
It has been disabled by default by OnePlus. You can enable the option using the below given steps:
1. Dial *#800#
2. Go to Oneplus logkit
3. Go to function switch
4. Check on Vowifi switch
5. Reboot your phone
6. go to settings -- wifi & internet -- sim & network
7. Turn on WIFI Calling
8. Reboot your phone

Wait few minutes you will see volte will be replaced by vo-wifi .
 
Giving VoWifi update after 3 months for your 2 yr old customers is downright disgusting. 4.5 year old iPhones had Jio VoWifi support at launch. I have OnePlus 7 and had to resort to initial hackery to enable VoWifi support. Plus right now the VoWifi is half baked and you cannot enable it while in Airplane mode.
 
OnePlus is not a enthusiast brand anymore there are competing with samsung and other Tier-1 brands.
So this behaviour is not acceptable at all.
 
@Realme Enthusiast brand? There is none at the moment.
With Apple closing the gap with Files app and iPhone SE 2020 with almost 5 year updates service, it is a decent choice as well. Some people like smaller sized phones.

OnePlus brand is kinda dead for me. Their greed is their undoing. If they want to charge Apple prices then their shitty updates team should be up to task.

PS: I request members to change from "Depressed Linus DP" What's the point when everyone has the same DP? LMAO.
 
I actually I wanted to change my dp to bearded Linus btw he looks great with a beard. @Realme did it before I could pull it off.
@sanke3 I agree with you. I'll never buy a OnePlus product again, I had the original OnePlus and used the 3t for a few months. They're getting greedy and moving away from thier core audiences i.e. the enthusiasts.
I thought poco would fill OnePlus shoes but miui puts me off big time.
More and more I see this shit, Apple has been doing some consumer friendly moves and the files app is a step in right direction.
I already own a iPhone 8 plus which is my work phone and have samsung m30s as my android secondary phone and I'm planning to upgrade when apple launches a new series this year.
I used to hate Apple so much but moving forward these android brands has pissed me off too much but benefit of getting iPhone is more appealing now than ever before.

I meant a phone I can tinker around with, which doesn't add major obstacles intentionally.(bootloader locks etc)

It's purpose was to make you LMAO.

How is your ass rigght now? --Proctologist

Originaly @vignesh_venkatesan and @JB700 featured Linus DP which confused me a lot too, I thought lets add twist to the sauce and don the image of sexy Chad Linus

They're getting greedy

I think less greedy about money and more greedy about having an Apple-like brand image, like a solely chinese-image brand having that much glam to it.
Being a luxury brand.
(<rant> luxury are not always great somewhere here said they have an high end 1+ Lakh INR TV which doesn't have gigabit port... poor pleb enthusiast might have made a workhorse HTPC in that budget..in that budget I wouldn't even buy a TV but a projector and modify my room for cinematic experience</rant>)
It appeals to their Chinese nationalism.


For a short period of time while I had Xiaomi I like MiUI, it was quite productive for me, maybe i didn't use it that much to push it to its limits.

I personally wanted modular phones to comee to the market and we can upgrade them for a few years just like PC ...oh my fantasies ;-;

^^ Someone had tried modular phones few years ago. I remember reading it somewhere.
 
Alright guys. I did it. VoWifi activated in Airplane Mode on my OnePlus 7

Calls and SMS incoming and outgoing working on both the numbers.

Original Guide is here. But I have simplified the process below because that guide is as confusing as it gets.
  1. Download this zip as it contains LogKit and EngineeringMode apk. Install them both on your OnePlus phone.
  2. Dial *#800# -> oneplus Logkit -> Function Switch -> enable VoLTE switch & VoWifi switch & VT switch and then reboot your phone
  3. Go to Settings -> Wifi & Internet -> Sim & network -> Sim 1 -> enable VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling switches. Do the same for Sim 2
  4. Use the Drivers and software from below and not from the above link as the drivers mentioned in the original post do not work.
  5. Correct QPST drivers here.
  6. Correct QPST software here.
  7. Install both the QPST software and drivers with default selections during setup.
  8. Connect your phone to USB port of your PC and dial *#801#
  9. Only enable Full-port switch
  10. Open "PDC" in your QPST start menu folder, best to do by right click & "run as administrator"
  11. In the drop down menu, chose your Qualcomm device. For me it was Qualcomm HS-USB WWAN Adapter 9091 yours can be different.
  12. In the list, Right click on Germany-VoLTE-Vodafone -> SetSelectedConfig -> Sub0
  13. Again Right click on Germany-VoLTE-Vodafone -> SetSelectedConfig -> Sub1
  14. Now just select Germany-VoLTE-Vodafone and click on Activate button at the bottom.
  15. Reboot your phone.
  16. Profit?
TBH it's extremely easy

Can someone report their findings?

I see that your phone shows Airtel and Jio !. Can you tell me what are the settings for these two ?
 
Ok, this is interesting. I got VoWiFi in Airplane mode on OnePlus 5 running OOS 9.0.11. (I enabled VoWiFi via oneplus logkit)

These are the steps that I did for it to work, your mileage may vary,
1. Enable VoLTE, VoWiFi in sim settings and go to Homescreen
2. Enable Airplane mode from QS.
3. Go into sim settings and,
3a. Disable VoLTE and VoWiFi.
3b. Enable VoLTE and VoWiFi.
3c. Change "Calling Preference" from "Wi-Fi preferred" to "Mobile data preferred"
3d. Change "Calling Preference" from "Mobile data preferred" to "Wi-Fi preferred"
4. That's All.

In my current place, Jio signals drops very frequently while moving around the house. Hence, I have vowifi enabled.
I have a Redmi phone with another Jio sim in a place where there's a better reception and using it as HotSpot (for WFH)
This OnePlus 5 is connected to the HotSpot. Probably because its Jio network, I'm getting VoWiFi even on Airplane mode. I wish this isn't the case.

Sorry to reopen an old thread but I'm trying to enable VoWiFi on my OnePlus 5 running on Android 10 and the steps recommended here, including the links to OnePlus & XDA forum (*#800# method) simply don't work. VoWiFi & VoLTE are missing under 'Function Switch' on my phone.

Can any of the other OnePlus 5 users confirm if VoWiFi works on their own phones with Jio. If Yes, did you follow a different method or additional steps, other than the one's described here. To reiterate, I don't even see VoWiFi in the menu options.
Reason:- Jio 4g network isn't great in this place & so trying to use VoWiFi as an alternative when we are inside the house.
