How to Activate VoLTE on Pixel 7

VoLTE stands for Voice over Long-Term Evolution, which is a technology that enables voice calls to be transmitted over high-speed 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) networks. Traditionally, voice calls were carried over 2G and 3G networks, while data services used the faster 4G network. VoLTE, however, allows voice calls to be made over the 4G network, resulting in improved call quality, faster call setup times, and the ability to use data services simultaneously during a call.

Here are some key features and benefits of VoLTE:

  1. High-Quality Voice Calls: VoLTE supports High Definition (HD) voice, providing clearer and more natural-sounding voice calls compared to traditional cellular networks.
  2. Faster Call Setup: VoLTE significantly reduces call setup times, allowing for quicker connections and faster call initiation.
  3. Simultaneous Voice and Data: With VoLTE, users can continue using high-speed data services while on a voice call, without any disruption or degradation in data speed.
  4. Improved Battery Life: VoLTE uses more efficient network protocols, leading to better power management and improved battery life on compatible devices.
  5. Enhanced Call Features: VoLTE supports advanced call features such as HD video calling, multi-party conference calls, and seamless call handover between Wi-Fi and LTE networks.

Steps to Activate VoLTE on Pixel 7:

  • Install Shizuku . Gives access to the Android API without root access (via adb ).
  • Open the app.
  • Connect the device to the PC ( adb drivers must be installed , adb must also be configured).

Start the shizuku service with the command:

adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh
  • On the phone, the application should show “Shizuku is running”.
  • Download and install the latest version of PixelIMS.
  • Click “Always Allow” when you see a message from Shizuku.
  • Press “ENABLE VOLTE” to activate VoLTE (and possibly VoWiFi). If everything is done correctly, you should see the VoLTE Enabled by Config text switch turned on.
  • Reboot your phone a few times until you see VoLTE working.
