HD voice 1.0 ( How is it? ) - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Who has activated HD voice 1.0 and has any feed back on it?
Weird you have to activate it yourself majority of people that will just take the update (regular users) won't know to activate it.
It says billed as regular calls so I guess that means it's free if you have unlimited calling which most all of us do right?

Funny you post this I notice for a couple of days I couldn't talk on my note edge and browse the Internet at the same time on 4G and I called verizon and that's what they told me my HD VOICE Service wasn't activated so they did it and now it's working

Does it cost anything?

No cost but it will not work on pre paid plans. I actually activated it using a customers sim card and then replaced with mine and it disappeared. Cool thing it has HD video calling integrated in the phone dialer.

Auto handoff would be nice and is actually expected at this point.

Didnt have much chance to test it, I dont call often lol. But when I did it sounded like skype, very clear and felt weird that quality is so good lol

I'm confused. Just updated to lollipop today. Do I lose simultaneous voice and data when on a non-4G network if I update to advanced calling 1.0?

It isn't to bad honestly. It does have more of that VoIP sound than the POTS some of us older people remember. I am not even that old and already using "older" sigh I am doomed.
For it being free, I didn't see a reason not to take it. I haven't done any video calling yet with it so I can't comment there.

I could be wrong, but this phone doesn't support simultaneous voice and data UNLESS you are on 4G(LTE). Using the phone while on 3G to make a call will send the signal to 1X which means no data only voice. It will still work with simultaneous voice and data while on wifi.

I still think Verizon should of made it auto enabled with the lollipop update. Especially since it is free. Some people are not going to realize to enable it and that's just the truth.

Actually, the Note 4 is one of the last Verizon phones to come with dual antennas as opposed to just one like the more recent ones. So, it does support simultaneous voice and data no matter what. I'm concerned that I will lose this functionality if I update to HD voice.

You can always swap back. I tried it and found it dangerous as you must have strong 4g for it to work. At my home I have touchy 4g that alternates with 3g. Cell signal always good though. When on HD there is no handout between 4g and cell tower.. So get choppy calls.

My phone will drop to 3g at random in my house. Every time that happens your advanced calling call will drop. If I drive across town I will also lose 4g. That's another dropped call.
I think verizon realizes this is a half baked product that their network isn't ready for and are letting people who really want it opt in. The rest of us can keep our business calls from dropping since HD voice has 0 effect on a call with a non HD voice phone (like any landline).

[Q] VZW PRL....

I am trying to switch to a vzw prl but when I do ##775# all it does is act like it is dialing then shows the last numbers I called. No password prompt. I am running a sense rom. First it was sprint lovers, now its stock rooted rom. Help please...

Are you sure you installed the correct EPST program?
Use myn's warm 2.2 rsl5 it works fine with that rom, just flash it and do what you need to do. Then nandroid back to whatever you are using

So I got this to work but all I get is 1x . Is there anyway to get full 3g?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The verizon prl should give you full 3g, that's the point of it. If you are only getting 1x, either verizon doesnt have 3g where you are, or you are still on a sprint prl and roaming on verizon, which would only give you 1x.
I try *2 and I just get the Sprint thingy that checks the network. I'm on prl 0001. But this seems like I am still on Sprint.

Go ahead and do this if you really want, i highly recommend against it. All your doing is installing a force roam. If you flash 0001.prl you will always be roaming. I flashed it about 6 months ago, and everything was good for a few months, until sprint sent me a letter saying my account was being cancelled because a certain percentage of my data was roaming. If you look on your contract, even though it may say unlimited roaming, sprint still reserves the right to end your service if you go over 5Gb of roaming data or a certain percentage of your data is roaming.
I did eventually get them to not cancel my account, but my phone number remains on a list of numbers that they monitor that have gone over their roaming within the last 6 months (even though my roaming is supposedly unlimited). They do automated checks of that list and my phone gets turned off about once a week, meaning i have to call and deal with customer service constantly.
Think about whats going on here for a second. Verizon and sprint have agreements that let sprint users roam on verizon 1x services, NOT 3G. Everytime your phone downloads data from a verizon tower verizon sends sprint the bill. Once sprint realizes your phone number is causing them to pay massive fees to verizon theyre going to cancel your account. it doesnt matter if your choose home only in roaming options, because since you have installed a verizon PRL your phone thinks verizon IS home.
I fully understand what I am doing... as long as I stuck with this crappy Sprint service I will use this, and if they do cancel then I will just sign with Verizon directly ...

Are you going for coverage or speed? 00001.prl will probably increase your coverage significantly, it definitely did for me. But as far as speed goes, verizon is definitely slower than sprint. Thats my personal experience and has been confirmed by quite a few studies ive seen online. Also if you use speedtest.net frequently you'll see that with 00001.prl your latency (time it takes the signal to travel) increases dramatically.
So how do you put a sprint PRL back after a few months?

Have you read the Verizon prl thread? It tells you this on the first post. Just flash back to a sense rom (if you already arent) and update the prl through the menu. This will put you back on a sprint prl.
I've never had an issue with sprint busting my chops over roaming... been running prl hack for a long time with roaming data at least up to 5gb with some as high as 10gb..

Seriously T-Mobile?

My data signal turned grey, I had no idea why, I restarted, switched ROMS, and still, the data is gone.
Than I checked the T-Mobile site and my data plan is gone, yet I'm being charged the same amount.
I'm guessing they detected that this is not a T-Mobile phone and disabled it, but seriously, why?
And I can't even call until Tuesday as its memorial day.
Has anyone had trouble with T-Mobile in regards to the Nexus and data?
No but I've had MAJOR data issues on my Verizon Nexus, the reception is garbage I don't care if its the phone, OS, or Verizon , its GARBAGE. My bet is that its the phone.

If it's anything like what I'm experiencing, your problem has nothing to do with T-Mobile; you're simply experiencing the same "data drop" issues that a lot of us are.
I've been trying different ROM/Kernel combinations left and right to see if I can get something that A) I like and B) doesn't have the drops.
So far, from what I can tell, it seems like a lot of people on AOKP are reporting this. Someone in their thread posted to flash the 4.0.3 RIL, but I don't know how eager I am to do that when other people are reporting no drops with ROMs like Slim ICS & LiquidSmooth.
EDIT: Hmm, looks like my data connection is perpetually grayed out as well. I wonder if something is going on?

I have my GNex stock, only root and I have not experienced data drops in mine. And my carrier is Claro...
Methinks T-Mobile has officially effed up. Here's what I got when I tried to open my browser:
You currently do not have data service.
If you want to access the Internet and your current plan does not include data, you must change to a plan with data.
If your current plan includes limited data, your data bucket has been depleted. [It sure as hell hasn't!]
To obtain data service, you can:
-Renew early if your plan allows
-Upgrade to a plan with data or a plan with more data

By any chance are you on a monthly 4G or other prepaid plan?
Because if so, I've experienced something similar TWICE already...it happens whenever my service is due for renewal..I'm on the $30 100 min unlimited text and 5GB web plan and even though I always make sure to add sufficient funds before my next renewal date, when my renewal date came, I got a similar message...it took a call to customer service to get it resolved...
the second time around I got a $10 credit for my troubles but it is still annoying as hell. The reps also said it was a glitch in their system.
Not happened to me and been running my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile for over 4 months now (and had T-Mobile for 1.5years total).
I haven't heard of this being a regular issue, and I feel like I follow T-Mobile pretty closely. I highly doubt it has anything to do with you using a GNex on their network, probably just a glitch. Call in and they'll make it right.
Happened to me once over the last month, rebooted phone and it was blue again. On AOKP M5 + Franco M4.
Grey bars means you are not connected to Google's servers.
No signal is NOT a result of grey bars.
As in, if your bars are grey you can still have voice signal and data signal.

Yes, grey bars are caused by no data, not the other way around.
but its clear that T-Mobile has shut off his data for some reason.

I like T-Mobile. I had all major carriers and they all too expensive even tho att and Verizon had some good coverage they charge too much for 5GB and sprint just sucks at the moment T-Mobile has some good plans and data is great
I used to get 8-16mbps on one s and I get from 5-10mbps on my gnex couldn't be any happier

Not so sure about that, I get the grey bars every once in a while, however I still have access to the internet. It usually turns back blue after a few seconds.

No. T-Mobile advertises bringing your own phone to use as a feature. I've never had problems - and I started my T-Mobile account with an AT&T phone, actually.
It's a glitch, it's rare and ridiculous that it happened to you, but it's not the end of the world. Chill out

Sprint SGS3 Signal issues, missed calls, text, etc.

I have been having real weird issues with my text messages, and I've been told that people called me, but my phone doesnt say so. Yesterday I got on chat with sprint, the said that they troubleshooted the phone and to leave the battery our for 1/2 hour and reboot, all should be good. I did it(after ##72786# to reset the phone info), and it worked for a while. I checked my voicemail and had 5 messages from missed calls yesterday. Today Sprint was supposed to call me back to see if the troubleshooting thing worked, I checked my voicemail, and sure enough, I missed their call. So today they told me that they were updating towers...blah, blah..lte....., blah, blah.....fixed by the 11th. I got to researching and found this: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/92214?tstart=0
I also got a $10 credit
Just putting it out there. If anyone else is having issues, please post.
Edit: here is another one http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/441250#441250
I live in baltimore MD and between them updating the towers and that storm coming through last friday and damaging there towers service has been pretty bad as of late

I had a similar issue yesterday. I rebooted my phone because I though it was strange nobody texted me all day(someone usually texts me) then right after it boots the notification sound goes crazy haha missed 20ish texts D:
First time its happened to me, will see how today goes. Besides that signal is fantastic.
My signal is fine, the phone just doesnt receive anything, or will receive multiple copies of the same text. They said that towers are being updated in Boise, and they expect a fix by the 11th. Gave me a ticket number and everything. I might talk to tech support around lunch to see what their response is. Judging by what the Sprint community says, all of their LTE phones are having issues. Even the Gnex.

Its pretty rediculous, I call my phone from my desk (that the phone is sitting on) and it rings a few time and goes to voicmail, but the phone doesnt do anyting.
I'm down in the oc in California and signal is decent, 3g been slower lately due to updating the towers, so far no phone call issuers, had the text problem and failing to send texts or not receiving or receiving many times, for now insurgent u set google voice to notify you since it uses data to communicate so it's better at Texts and such, at least til sprint is done with the upgrades.

Happens on my HTC EVO 3D and HTC EVO 4G, so it's not just a phone issue. And my fools at the local Sprint store in my area claim there's no issues. Of course, these are the same fools that think 3rd party launchers are rooting your phone.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using Tapatalk 2
Well, google voice solved the text issue. Im happy now.
The threads the OP referenced are pretty much what I was looking at.
I too am experiencing the worst luck when it comes to signal strength. My friend has the good old evo 4G. I put the two phones side by side. I can observe the signal fluctuate on my s3 as the evo has a perfect full bars.
The sprint forum seems to suggest that it might be a network issue. I don't buy it. I think it is a hardware issue unfortunately.
The phone is nice and fast. But this connectivity issue is a deal breaker for me.

No 4g while on call anymore!?

Yes, even personal account, you have to log into your account at vzw online and "add" advance calling. I am on unlimited data, and still had no issues....I still don't like it though, if I am on a 4G call and briefly walk into a building where I lose 4G, the call drops, smh......I really wish they would just continue to make phones with two antennas until that technology is more advanced.

So I stopped by a VZW store and tried talk and data on two M9s, and both gave me the same result, you CAN talk and data at the same time. I confirmed that advanced calling was off, restarted phones, confirmed advanced calling is still off, and placed some calls.
So I guess it has two antennas? And not just the single tri-band antenna like the Nexus 6, Galaxy S6, and mlst other new phones?
So are you sure your VZW M9 wasn't able to talk and data out of the box while you were on 4G?

Well I have the nexus 6 an without enabling I couldn't use both phone an data. An when I tried to go to play store when I first got m9 on data an during a phone call it wouldn't let me. Was that store device on WiFi? If so then you can call an use data without enabling it if WiFi is turned on.

For those of you using AT&T. Do not update your IMEI at this time and hope that the system doesn't auto update it. LTE is not supported on the OP3. I am currently stuck on 4G due to this problem.
I have opened a ticket to get the OP3 registered. I will date back here.
My ATT service is perfect with LTE.
Update your APN's
Nextgenphone and ATT Phone. The network is blocking LTE access. Your IMEI hasn't updated yet. Mine worked fine for a few hours.
I work in a cor AT&T store. There were features removed when I changed my IMEI. Once AT&T updates their IMEI database it'll be fine.
I've had the phone since noon on Friday and still no issues with AT&T. I have not called to change IMEI.

I am having same problem, my two devices are stuck in HSPA mode. I spent over an hour online chat with AT&T to no resolution. They tried but could not understand the problem. I had the phones activated at corporate store today too. Hopefully this problem gets resolved soon.
Guys don't bother with the att reps. Most of them have no idea what they are doing with an iPhone let alone anything else. The worst thing you can do is call them for help.
I agree with zelendel even though I work for the company. I am sure I'm not the only person who has opened a ticket to the OP3 added. In the mean time if you call customer service and just ask them to have a manager approve adding the nextgenphone apn to your line then it will fix the issue temporarily. I have LTE back for the time being.
How temporarily is the fix? And is there an eta on when att will fix the problem? I will be returning this phone if I can't use LTE on it.
So will this phone be updated and approved to receive LTE in the future by att? This is kind of a major deal if not.

Too late for it to be approved. This is one of the things you learn to deal with when you buy China based devices. They don't get approved by the Fcc which in turn causes issues with LTE and what not.

So because of you I should expect to see a text from AT&T saying they've detected that I'm using a smartphone and have added an expensive data plan? Great.
Pretty sure you just needed to use the right APN.

Pretty sure I know the right APN. What plan are you on that's worth saving...senior talk 200? That's the only plan in the last 10 years that's cheaper than any new plan which all include data. Please don't be a **** because you didn't have a problem. Others will and when they do its nice to help them understand what's wrong.
im on at&t go and it worked out of the box with LTE.
if what the OP said is true, u can get another IMEI that uses a nano sim card and then call att to activate that IMEI with att and then just reinsert the sim into the OP3 without calling, I did not update IMEI either but i do have a little issues with downloading things it switches back and forth quickly between 4+ and LTE but still get good speeds
Just opened my OP3 an hour ago and put my ATT nano sim in.

Yeah my LTE worked fine for at least 5 hours after I changed the IMEI. I was at work on WiFi so I don't know when it quit exactly. Even putting my sim back in a recognized device yielded no data. Called in got the nextgenphone added to my line, LTE came back. The problem with using another IMEI is sooner or later the system will update and you end up with no data.

Changing the IMEI is not only illegal but can also cause other issues with the device it's self.

The IMEI will be updated when they scan the network which they do from time to time.

Well considering what you are doing is fraud that is on you.
