Issues with wifi calling - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi there
Recently I've been having a lot of issues with wifi calling. I haven't been able to receive any calls directly go somewhere voicemail and when I try to call somebody it says the call cannot be made at the moment
This really sucks because I got really bad cell phone reception in my house I was really thinking of using this as my main way of getting calls in my house
Is there any way to fix it or maybe troubleshoot it in anyway
By the way I'm running tweaked rom on my device

Has it always been like this (both in general and on the rom)? If not, any recent changes/tweaks/flashes/updates/installs that coincide with when you notice the decreased wifi calling ability?

Hmmm I think back now the issues started right after I rooted the device

Meaning they started on stock after all you did was root it? Interesting... I use it pretty often and haven't noticed any big difference between pre- and post- rooted. Maybe flash back to stock, test it out, and if all is well try again? That's what I would do anyway.

Most likely you are having these issues only when the phone has weak/poor wifi signal, can you confirm ?

I actually have to wifi router one that is with the modem and another which I put and the other end of the house so that side of the house will get wifi

I do sometimes have internet issues but nothing too serious maybe a peak times the data may be slow

Loss of network

My issue is whenever I hook up to wifi my mobile network drops not allowing me to make phone calls. This ask started once I rooted my phone. I'm running the stock rom as well. The only solution is for me to reboot my phone. Is there anyone else having this issue, and is there a solution?

Just doin to the stock Rom. It fixed los for me. And it updates your radio

FYI OP, this is all over the place under LOS, or Loss Of Service.
These issues haven't had one guaranteed fix (or any reproducible permanent fix that I have seen.)
Reported LOS occurs in low signal/roaming situations, when wifi is on, or unbeknownst completely... all these depending on the user, and solutions are equally thin and subjective.
Most likely there is no current fix for your issue until an official update occurs. Until then you can probably try to placebo the problem away like most people here.
... and your other issue can be solved here

Loss of Network is what occurs when someone ditches Sprint for a phone that comes out on another carrier that isn't broken (which in this case is a fairly substantial sort of broken for any regular user) from day 1 and counting...
We XDA lurkers/trolls/devs, we are the ones that stick, for better or worse, until that update comes out that makes the phone function... a phone whose modems are working 100% of the time for the major reason we bought it, to use as a phone, with signal and data and the like.
LON is a new problem now so we can start another slew of threads about it.
Okay, I didn't know what los stood for, but I appreciate all the help. Now I know. I'm glad it wasn't something with my phone.

My Bluetooth is acting funny.

Ok Sorry if this has been posted. I searched but it was from the app and i didn't see anything.
When on a call using my Bluetooth sometime's I lose the ability to hear the other person. They can still hear me though. Disconnecting and then reconnecting the ear piece fixes it for awhile. I have replicated this issue with both my lg ear piece and my Motorola ear piece. I am stock rooted. Am I missing a setting or might this be a radio thing.
Used both these ear pieces with my et4g with no issues.

My et4g use to cut out and a quick reboot always fixed it. Never really pinned down why it did this other than long up times without a reboot. Haven't had this issue on the note 2 yet.

Ya that worked for one call then it started messing up again.... if I'm on a call and it starts acting up I can toggle the headset button and it'll act right for a minute or so..... it's not just acting up this way with my headset but also my car:banghead:
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Well I spoke to soon. still doing it just doesn't happen as often now. Maybe once or twice a day in stead of once or twice a call.

Do you have any bluetooth tethering apps? I noticed that since I deleted open garden and wiped almost everything... Since then it has only garbled once maybe twice today if my memory serves me right

No don't have any tethering apps at all.

How to always keep h+???

I'm on slim atm and my phone keeps jumping to 3g right after a milliseconds after I stop using data of any kind and its quite annoying that it won't stay on h+ all the time, especially with tethering or using tumblr. Anything I can do? ><

I forgot to mention that as soon as it goes to 3g it cuts data off, reason why its annoying.

It's called "fast dormancy" it's a feature which puts your data connection into different states to avoid excessive battery drain.. it's actually very helpful in maintaining battery life. Do a Google search for "fast dormancy" there a a bunch of XDA threads explaining everything.
I do admit it's sometimes quite annoying. While I am tethering, I simply open a command window and ping Google endlessly. It keeps the connection always on. Annoying but it helps. Sometimes I don't even notice a difference.

I really don't think you want it on h+ constantly you would get the quickest battery drain

Have you tried changing your screen timeout settings? I know on certain devices that the data wont slow until the screen is off.

Dude, data cutting off aside, that's supposed to happen as others have mentioned. Think about what you're asking, you want to constantly keep 4G connection even when you're not needing - that makes no sense. Does a bullet train go 200mph when it has no passengers? That's what you're saying.

Yes I understand there would be a significant battery drain but what if I could toggle it for an hour while tethering so it would stay on h+ constantly than toggle back go regular way. And the ping someone here mention doesn't work on iPad lol that's pretty much what I want to tether.

short answer .. yes.
I've been working on this for awhile. I personally want it because I get slivers of 4g where I live but the majority is h.(3g) so I'm trying to figure a way to force only 4g(h+) but it's proving quite difficult. It's looking to be only possible via a radio edit. Meaning editing the radio to tell the phone it's only capable of 4g(h+) data connectivity.

G Pro loosing Data every 2 days

My G Pro looses data every two days or so. Wither im on wifi or 4g. I have to do a quick airplane mode on and off to get it back to work. The G Pro still shows the data as being there but dont work. Meaning it shows the 4g icon or wifi icon. WHat could cause this? I dont notice it all the time and I loose emails and stuff until I toggle the airplane mode.

Are you currently rooted? If so what a apps do you have that are root related? Does it happen randomly? Are you at home, or in a specific area when it happens?

Yes in rooted. Root Explorer. Titaniam back up. That's it for rooted apps. It's were ever.
Hmm, I've seen people back in the infuse threads have issues similar to these just because TB is installed. I have not personally experienced this issue.
Question...
Have you disabled any apps?

Yes all of the att bloatware. I removed some with root Explorer as well.
Did you just disable them or removed them completely? I'm wondering if there might have been something crucial that was removed. Wish we had a way to return to stock.

I only removed like 3 and the rest I froze or disabled.
Try returning your phone to stock as much as possible by undoing what you did. Even do a factory reset and use the phone without changing anything.

My WiFi was shutting off randomly and turning back on after a minute or so. Just exchanged my phone and haven't seen it again yet. Never had any data issues though.

The worse thing is it still shows I'm in 4g or wifi but data stops working. Thats what makes it suck. At least if it didnt have the icons I could tell faster and do a quick toggle of airplane mode.

i have 4 full bars of lte where i live. my htc one got maybe 1 or 2 bars. lg radios are kick ass.
k an update i ended up returning my phone and getting the Samsung s4. reason being i found out the lg dose not have a very good radio for rural areas. i found that it only has like two freq. for 3g and 2 for 2g. maybe with a rooted phone you can change out the radio from another phone or something. But an un-rooted phone it sucks. I really liked the phone too because nice big screeen and every thing.
Oh and the s4 blew the lg out of the water as far as signal and everything. I had an htc inspire before and had to mod my antenna in order to make phone calls from my basement. i was able to do the same with the s4 with out doing any thing too it.

I haven't narrowed it down to an exact interval of time but I've seen this a number of times as well. I half wondered if it was because of the WiFi tethering changes I made as it was not happening prior to that change. It's only been the last few days...

If IMEI is intact, it's a T-Mobile issue. I was replying to say that I've had this issue before, once. I was going to call them to complain, but it was fixed in under 24 hours.

Happens to me here and there. sometimes I lose internet conection for 30min to and 1hour. I already called tmobile and told them bout it and how it started happening after they activated lte -.- they said its weird that it shouldn't be happening what should actually be happening is the data speeds geting faster. All they did is reset my data conection and gave me $5 credit for 6months:banghead:

Well if it gets better soon that $5.isn't a bad deal!
Have you tried Odin flashing the Stock firmware? Wipe data to test clean? Try any other modems?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Iv tried flashing stock via odin and it didn't help :/ so I called and got a replacement so far it hasn't happen anymore the thing that sucks is that the replacement I received is defective the home button is not sticking out how its supose to so I called and place another order but they are out of stock I kinda got upset when I was told I would have to wait like bout a week or so to receive my replacement so I asked if later on the road the home button started giveing me problems was I allowed to exchange for a replacement I wss told yes so I cancelled it cuz I could live with my phone like that not really a big thing
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Sometimes if you press the issue they will replace it with a comparable model. They certainly have the T999L in stock if you want to ask if that's a possibility. Dont expect it to work, but could be worth a shot...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I called T-Mobile but they just reset the lines well that's what they said.
And nothing still the same data drops, iam going to try odin flash and I would see if that helps
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If the flash doesn't help, wait another day or two and call back if it doesnt improve. Tell them you'd like to have a help ticket escalated because their last attempts did not help. Just try to get them to put you in contact with a tech who has the ability to deal with things on a more specific level. Most likely you only got the first level of support. They don't have many permissions to deal with a lot of issues. A lot if them are told that account resets will fix everything it seems like!
Hopefully though, things will jusy improve as they work on towers and upgrades.
