Strange Icon LTE Vo)) on Galaxy S7

[Marco Lungo]

Is there anybody that knows what that icon means?
The icon, as you can see, is together with the wifi one and I do not have the Boost Download activate.

Hi @Marco Lungo,

You are with 3 or ID mobile? this is the icon for the advanced voice option just means it is voice over the inter net service in place of the 2G or 3G service. Hope that helps

I've have also recently had the LTE appear instead of 4g and my signal has been crap and can't send MMS. Seeing my phone was perfectly fine a few weeks ago until that LTE appeared

I just had this happen to me, I believe it is a result of a possible virus or malware attack, Did factory reset on phone and it is still there, which I don't believe it should be if it was never there

VoLTE means Voice over LTE so it is not WIFI Calling that's another story. It is not malware LOL.

While you're on the LTE network it will appear VoLTE enabled. You can disable it on Settings> Networks> Cellular> VoLTE/ LTE enhanced services. Try deleting and installing your APN settings to fix MMS. Your signal shouldn't be affected as it still LTE. Try switching to 3G and then again to LTE to see if it fixes.

It can't be a virus I've just purchased the s9 and the symbol was there as soon as i turned the phone on.

But I'm with EE

VoLTE means Calling or Receiving Calls via 4G. Usually EE on a SIM only or a phone contract will show such icon. 

3UK customers will only see the word 'HD' during a call. It shows that it is a 4G call, similar to VoLTE.

Can I turn it off?

Yes, you can.
