How to register IMS-Xiaomi service: from VoLTE to VoLTE HD-call-up

If your Xiaomi does not support VoLTE or VoWiFi, and the operator claims that the service is connected, the problem most often lies in the inactive system. IMS-This protocol is responsible for the transmission of voice through the LTE/5G And Wi-Fi, which provides stable connectivity even in low-cost areas. POCO Registration is not always automatic.

In this article, you will find the most relevant ways of forced activation. IMS firmware MIUI 14/15 (including HyperOS), as well as solutions to common errors such as "Not registered on the network" IMS" We'll look at both software methods (through settings and engineering menus) and hardware checks, from SIM cards to regional restrictions. FAQ-A block at the end with responses to frequent cases.

What is it? IMS Why it doesnโ€™t work for Xiaomi

IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem is a standard for transmitting voice and video calls over Internet protocols (LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, without it, modern functions like:

  • ๐Ÿ“ž VoLTE (voice by voice) 4G/5G)
  • ๐Ÿ“ถ VoWiFi (calls via Wi-Fi)
  • ๐ŸŽค HD-voice (increased sound quality)
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Quick switching between networks

They will not be available even if your plan supports them.

Xiaomi has problems with IMS arise from several reasons:

  • โš™๏ธ Lack of registration on the network (often after a reset or update)
  • ๐ŸŒ Regional restrictions (firmware for China/India may block the IMS Russia)
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Incompatible firmware (castom or outdated versions) MIUI)
  • ๐Ÿ”Œ Hardware problems (damaged modem or antenna)

FAQ: Frequent questions about registration IMS Xiaomi

๐Ÿ”น Why After Updating MIUI VoLTE?
This is a typical problem when switching to a new firmware version. Most often it helps: Reset network settings (Settings) โ†’ SIM-map โ†’ Resetting the network) Manual registration IMS through the engineering menu (see Method 2) rollback to the previous version MIUI (If the update broke the function. If nothing helps, check if VoLTE support for your model has been removed in the new firmware (this happens on budget devices).
๐Ÿ”น Can I include? IMS Xiaomi with China ROM?
Technically yes, but with reservations: ๐Ÿ“Œ VoLTE works sometimes, but VoWiFi is almost always turned off. ๐Ÿ”ง Manual registration is required through the engineering menu (see Method 2). โš ๏ธ On some models (Xiaomi) 12S, Redmi K50) IMS is blocked at the firmware level - only flashing on Global will help ROM. If the phone is purchased in China, it is easier to install global firmware immediately.
๐Ÿ”น What to do if the operator says that VoLTE is connected, but Xiaomi does not work?
The problem may be on the side: Operator: Check if the service is activated for your specific number (sometimes only for new ones). SIM). Ask to reset the profile USIM (Phone: Check if your model supports IMS (See the compatibility table. Make sure that SIM-The card is inserted into slot 1 (some Xiaomi VoLTE only works in it).

During the call, look at the network indicator: If the Wi-Fi icon is displayed next to the signal level, VoWiFi is working. If the signal goes missing or the call is reset, VoWiFi is inactive, and you can use NetMonster, and you can see which protocol the call is using (IMS over WiFi).
๐Ÿ”น Why? IMS It is registered, but the calls are still through 3G?
This is a common problem when IMS Formally active, but traffic doesn't switch to VoLTE: ๐Ÿ“ถ Weak signal. 4G โ€” phone-in 3G Solution: Check the coverage in your area. โš™๏ธ Wrong settings APN โ€” delete everything APN Leave only the one that the operator sent (automatically). ๐Ÿ”„ Conflict with Dual SIM โ€” Xiaomi VoLTE works only with one SIM. Try to keep only one card active. ๐Ÿ“ฑ Restriction of firmware - on China ROM VoLTE can be tick-checked, but not really used. Try to force it to turn on only. 4G in network settings (Settings) โ†’ SIM-map โ†’ Preferred type of network โ†’ Only LTE).
