LG G2 update prepares device for VoLTE

Verizon is on the verge of launching VoLTE, which the company calls Advanced Calling 1.0. This will allow people to call over the LTE mobile network, providing high quality phone calls instead of the raspy and garbled calls you’re used to. Only a few devices will support VoLTE from the get go, and the LG G2 is one of them.

The device is currently being updated, and though most of the contents of the update aren’t important, the update does prepare the phone for Advanced Calling. Here’s the full changelog:

• Autocorrect functions properly when ‘?is selected
• Cancelled meetings can now be removed from calendar
• Mobile Hotspot UI prompt to connect corrected
• Fixed assisted dialing for international numbers
• Prepare your device for the new Advanced Calling 1.0 feature coming soon from Verizon.

We’re actually pretty excited for Advanced Calling. Too long we have had to suffer from poor quality phone calls. All these years without major advancements. It’s kinda depressing. But with VoLTE, we’ll finally have the HD voice calls we deserve. If you’re the owner of an LG G2 or Samsung Galaxy S5, you’ll be able to give it a shot when the service launches. Are you guys excited?
