WiFi Calling GREAT on new ROM T989UVKL1

Having used UMA on a hardware UMA-enabled phone extensively, and then the crappy laggy software on an earlier Android ... this new WiFi calling ROCKS!!!! No lag, seems great so far

I've questions about this WIFI calling feature. I know that it's unlimited and that it will not be applied towards our normal daily minutes.
My questions are, can you make WIFI calls even if you are receiving excellent tmobile signals? So say I'm at home with wifi connected and have excellent tmobile signal, then I make a call which will it use? Or if I have WIFI calling turned on, it will automatically make my calls using wifi instead of regular tmobile?
Just trying to get an understanding.

It's up to you. If you enable wifi calling, it'll use the wifi network. If you have it turned off, it'll use cellular radio. You don't have to have a weak signal to use it. All wifi calling does is turn off the cellular radio, and route everything through wifi. (It's a good battery saver as well.) If you're in an area that has no signal or very low, it's even more useful. I use it at work and at home. (At work, I get next to no signal at all. All tmobile phones i've used suck in my office. At home I get 15mbit dl speed on 4g, but I still use wifi calling sometimes there as well.)
Also, it DOES count towards your minutes, it's not unlimited unless you have a plan that will allow you to take advantage of the offer they have going right now. (Sadly, I don't.)

hmmm, that's not what I was told by the tmobile rep (just spoke to one of them). They said that wifi calling is unlimited and it will not go towards my 1000 anytime minutes. Now I'm starting to wonder if they knew what they are talking about.

If they are offering you the promotion where it's unlimited, then it is. However if you have an older plan, you can't get the promotion. So unless you get that, it counts towards your minutes. (Hell it even says so right in the app when it's run)

I just got off the phone again with another tmobile rep.
Here is what she said.
1. Your phone will use WIFI calling as long as you have wifi calling enabled on the phone and that you have connection to a router.
2. Will it use your whenever minutes? DEPENDS. if you have the newer plan (like i do, the 1000 whenever family time minutes), then it will NOT be counted towards my whenever minutes, thus I have unlimited wifi calling (GREAT!).
3. If you are under an old plan, then it MIGHT be counted towards your whenever minutes. so i say contact them and ask.
Thus, mstrk242 is right in all aspect. I guess its time for me to update my phone.

If you have free wifi calling in your account (see pic) then it won't count toward your minutes. I have the new plan but have to call to ask them add free wifi service to my account.

AT&T hotspot - "Wi-Fi Hotspot Access Failed"?

Ever since AT&T revealed that all unlimited users are now capped to 3gb/month (5gb for LTE), aka no more 5% crap, I can't get my Nitro automatically connect to any ATT hotspots around the town. I get message in notification bar saying
Unable to confirm eligibility, please call Customer CARE at 800-331-0500.

Before that, every time there is a hotspot available the phone automatically connects and nothing required from the user's side. Now I have to manually open browser and agree with their terms of service.
Anyone experiencing this?

I will test mine out to see if I get the same issue, and report back my findings.

I've had that happen a few times recently too. The app would seem to keep trying and would eventually connect successfully.

I'm having the same problem. I've been bounced back and forth between AT&T Mobility and AT&T Wi-Fi so many times. Like you I can always get in by going to the login screen and logging in with my DSL credentials. I also have a grandfathered "unlimited" data plan.
I recall this happening previously (like when I go through a McDonald's drive-thru) but I've only chased after it since March 1. It's happened in 2 different hotspots, one in Boston and one in Memphis.
I'm on a Samsung Captivate with OEM Gingerbread.

Here is my conspiracy theory:
AT&T trying make us, unlimited plan users, use all the capped data as quicker as possible to slow it done sooner, make us more pissed off and switch to limited plans.
Make sense?

Try restoring the hotspot app in Titanium Backup again and then reboot.

Can't use Titanium. I'm not rooted.
I tried clearing the application data. I'll post back whether that helps or not.

Running latest Kernelpanic rom I don't experience this problem.

I finally got my WISPr connect to work. In "Wi-Fi settings" I had "Network notification" unchecked. I checked this and then went to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot.
It connected!
Not wanting to leave "Network notification" checked and get all those nagging notifications I unchecked it and visited another AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot.
It connected!
See if this helps you.

It is actually nothing to do with our phones, it's ATT ****ing with us.
I've checked it with 3 different phones, all had the same problem.
Now, all three one day connecting fine another - no go.

Come to Canada it works...wait forget it we don't have ICS. ;-)

I fully believe this is exactly what they are doing. It pisses me off, but instead of switching plans I'll switch APNs. HAHA I win!

Unlimited Tethering yet?

So I know it might be too early to ask but for those who rooted their device - is there any unlimited tethering mod suitable for the 6E?

Bump to this. My S6 64 gb edge is on its way and that's key to me as well. Thank you in advanced.

Bump, didn't root yet (the longest time in my history that I've been working with an un-rooted device) but I am interested in the unlimited tethering...
Did anyone already try to mod or came up with a mod (even a manual one, APNs, IPv6 -> IPv4, etc.)?

are you asking about a mod that lets you steal unlimited data, which is a violation of your TOS, or something else?

wanted to report that the 'Wifi Tether Router' app is working for me. had to tweak default settings per the developer:
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- CHECKED
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
"No Disable WiFi" <- CHECKED (ONLY if you can't see the WiFi Network)
There is a bit of delay after first connecting to the hotspot; got a 'no internet connection' but after 30 seconds or so it connected.
Also, the app displays 'loading' at times, which freezes the interface. If you hit the running app key (bottom left button) and go back
into the app, it is responsive again.

Thanks tmotech! Finally a relevant answer
Once my device is rooted, I'll try that!

depends on your plan, as long as your plan as unlimited data you will be fine. if not it will use up your monthly data allowance. hope it helped. also you might need to create a new set of apn's . everything can stay the same but need to us ip4 and not ip6.

thanks you helped, unlike the internet police man up there lol
yea i was thinking about getting unlimted but thats $80 plus the $30 added for the phone payoff
to much for me prob will get the 3gb plan

Lol too funny. Yea just make sure of you do tether just set a data limit on your device so you know how much your spending on tethering. Unlimited data is kinda worth it for me. I travel a lot and being able to tether with my s6 helps alot. I used a note 3 for a year and had the same set up on it

Hey , just inquiring about the ip4 vs ip6 comment. Is that something we need to adjust or create a new setting on more networks ?? Never actually did this manually. I always wait for the developers to incorporate unlimited tether on there roms.
Thanks.

if you go to settings, mobile networks, apn, and add a new apn for your carrier but make sure your apn protocol is set for ipv4. i use tmobile so ive never been throttled because of going over my tethering limit. i use up to 100gb with tethering with not problem

Do you mind providing a screenshot of yours ? I guess you added all the T-Mobile US LTE functions. Just change the APN from ipv6 to ipv4 ?
Thanks.

When I tether I just switch to the other son named tmobile tethering. You can leave it on there or switch it back and forth. Don't matter

Awesome tmotech88 !
Thanks for providing that. It sure will me and hopefully others that need to protect themselves.
Thanks again.

So we could just use the regular tmobile tether, all the time or is there a benefit between switching back and forth ?

Damn won't let me turn it on since I don't have tethering on my account in the past I been able to use without on custom roms blah lol

For some reason, I cant even get the app to work. I did all the steps above. Just not lucky. Doesn't even see the SSID / Network name

Restricted access changed - voice service is blocked

I've been receive this error message when connected to WiFi. Not sure why or what is causing it. I have yet to be able to link the error message to an issue, however it is still annoying to see. Any suggestions?
Secondly, I have the T-Mobile version and can't seem to text over WiFi when not connected to the cellular network. Any suggestions?

Are you suggesting that this may be related to poor reception from T-Mobile? Perhaps. However I've had several other android devices and none of them have displayed this message.

I mean you actually have tmobile as your provider

Yes. Your point being?

I am with T-mobile as well and seeing this often. I seem to encounter it more often when I have a weak WiFi connection if this helps.

I don't have T-Mobile, nor WiFi calling enabled, but if that's the case... try going to Settings -> WiFi Calling -> Menu and disable the WiFi Range Alert, see if this stops those messages.

Thanks, but the TMO variant does not have this option.

Alright, it has been a few days so I have a little more knowledge about the issue. It seems to occur more when my phone disconnects from the cellular network and reconnects. In addition to the voice service blocked message I'm also getting a data service blocked message.

any fix on this? I too been getting this stupid prompt.

That's probably because they weren't programmed to. I've been using Android phones since the OG Droid and this is the only one that has had a notification message to specifically state that I've lost reception but that doesn't mean the other phones always had reception. It just means I might not have noticed when they didn't. In other words, I really doubt this is any kind of problem with your phone. Just common dropped service that happens occasionally.

Getting this issue as well with all 3 of our LG G4 phones. T-Mobile swapped our SIM cards and within 30 minutes, I had the same issue. Is this causing any of you to have dropped calls and or people attempt to call you but your phone never rings, however you just get a voicemail notification? Because we are seeing that and some other little odd issues with calling.

I haven't linked the messages to any issues, and I have yet to have the SIM changed. But the messages are annoying to get.

Just recently I got a data service blocked message as well.

For me, they always come in pairs. Our T-Mobile service is good here. And the wireless is rock solid with all other devices.
I'm curious. Are people only getting this on wifi? And what is your network setup? Are you statically assigning your phone the same IP address?

So I've had both of these issues as well as problems with WiFi calling. I've tried working with TMO support which has resulted in nothing so far. I am about ready to take this one back and go back to HTC which is a shame because I really like the device when it works.

Disabling VoLTE (Verizon)

Hello all!
Is there a way to turn off VoLTE? I use my phone as a hotspot, so when I get a call, I don't have internet access. I'm assuming this is because of VoLTE since my last phone (Droid 4) didn't have this issue.
Thanks!

I always thought having that option disabled is what caused data to turn off during phone calls. I have it enabled and I can still use data while on the phone. That's the toggle to the off VoLTE though.

Sounds like you aren't using VoLTE in the first place. Turning it off won't give you data during a call it would do the opposite.

Talk and web is only available if you have advanced calling option turned on within your verizon account. Its free.

It doesn't sound like you're using VoLTE exactly because you stated you can't use simultaneous voice and data. Here's the deal: To save battery power or whatever, the additional radio added to Verizon and Sprint (CDMA) phones to enable 4G has been removed from a lot of them, rather converged.
Verizon has always had this problem and they got around it by, finally, adding an additional radio to handle the 4G to many phones. On CDMA networks it's either (I think analog) voice or (I think digital) data. Then, I guess expecting this great big transition to VoLTE (and only needing one radio to simultaneously handle LTE and Voice over LTE) "they" reverted phones to the original model. I mean that has to be it... I would gladly charge my phone more to be able to be able to hotspot and talk! Or maybe they want to sell more JetPacks and separate line access fees!
(This is what allows for all that red on their coverage maps as Verizon's original voice frequencies do rock for signal strength and reliability. The data maps look a lot more similar amongst the carrriers: concentrated on major "markets" as the efficiencies of cities drive the capital to create the networks--rural areas have lousy 4G coverage).
The GSM networks from T-mobile and AT&T automatically fall back to 2, 2.5, 3 and 4G frequencies and can use the newer and the older networks at the same time. You also get better conference calling (up to 5 people) and call management on the GSM based networks.
If you want to use voice and data at the same time on Verizon, edit your account preferences to enable Advanced Calling 1.0 for your line. It is free. Also enable Enhanced 4G LTE mode as shown in the screenshot.
But VoLTE seems to bring its own issues: call complete rates will drop, call quality will drop, static bursts occur at the beginning of calls... it's a real mess.
I really miss T-Mobile, but their network isn't as good and I save money being on the family plan with others on Verizon.

Hi guys, I am having the opposite issue.
I can't get VoLTE ("HD Voice") to work. As a result, no internet when I'm on a phone call. A real pain in the butt.
I'm on CM13 on my Nexus 5x and using Verizon.
I had previously activated this feature on the Verizon website, and it shows the VoLTE flag is 'on' in the phone info/service settings menu. I've seen posts elsewhere where people say CM13 is not working properly with VoLTE.
Should I flash to a different ROM perhaps? Appreciate any ideas...
