no volte for byod
so i bought a phone online and its obviously compatible with videotron, i had the iphone 7 and had volte enabled then i switched over to an lg phone that i bought fully unlocked online, its annoying ...
Hi rpridham,
Regarding the Helix "pods", they are made to give you a connection in difficult areas in a house, they are not made for speed.
So let's say the WiFi network doesn't go well in a bedroom, the pod will push the gateway's signal further so you can have Internet in that bedroom.
As for the the installation of the gateway, the best place to put it would be where you use the Internet the most ( an area where most activities are being done ).
thats what i dont understand is i bought an unlocked iphone 7 that was from verizon aswell on ebay and they activated volte for me to use, so why cant android phones do that
Android devices are different beasts... most are built with firmware specific to providers selling the devices.
iPhone are all the same... it doesn’t matter if you buy it from Videotron, T-Mobile, AT&T, Rogers, Telus, Bell or directly from Apple... you are essentially getting the exact same device with the same firmware. Only the lock status may be different (by the way all Canadian sold devices are unlocked or you can get them unlocked for free).
The operator configuration file is automatically downloaded when you insert a new SIM card... this will automatically apply specific settings for your provider.
As long as your provider has some kind of support for iPhones, you will be fine.
yes i understand that but i just think that there should be a way where videotron can check for us and allow us to use volte, it just sucks we have to experience 3g and signal drops when a call is made or recieved and the call isnt even clear..
Manufacturers make this more complex to manage for providers... they could release one universel firmware like apple is doing for their iPhone... but no one (except Google with their Pixel phones) is doing it on the Android side.
Sadly Videotron cannot support every single Android devices... this would require manually flashing the device or get the manufacture to build a custom firmware that would work with videotron network for your device... this is simply not feasible.
I guess at some point in the future whenVoLTE is more common... all devices will be compatible... but we are not there yet.
