no bars. never any bars. - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I noticed that I never get more than like half a bar at home, and they sent me a hub to put in. That's working fine, and the bandwidth is plenty, but I still never have any bars. And it's not just at home, it's pretty much everywhere. 4g is working just fine. Anyone know of a tweak or custom modem that fixes this? I'm missing calls sometimes it's so bad.
Thanks!

MMS on CM7

I have CM7.1.0 and I love it, the only draw back is that I am not receiving my MMS messages unless I manually turn off wifi and 3G on and then click download. Or if I am on 3G I still have to check if I have a message and if I do I have to manually click download. Can anyone help me with my problem?? Thanks!

Do you have auto-retrieve checked in the setting menu under mms?
Yeah I do that is why I'm confused lol

I know I had this issue a week or so ago. It only lasted of like a day tho. It just went away by itself and the only things i've since having that issue was updating my PRL (*22899). I doubt that did it but you never know!
I leave 3g on when connected to wifi. It just does it by itself.

I do the exact same thing. I was told, by someone, that wifi radio uses less power then the 3g radio.

[Q] Can't receive MMS while on WiFi

Just like the title says. I'm using Wicked's V.5 with UVLI8. I've looked at other threads with other devices and I've seen no resolution.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

have you ever been able too? b'c on past phones while on wifi the mobile network would kick in to let the mms go Thru or come in then go back to wifi when it was done
Check if wifi calling is on. If it is turn it off and it should work.

Seems like a work-around. I'll test, but still, it's a pain to have to turn wi-fi calling off and on to receive a MMS. Why wouldn't I just turn of wi-fi for the moment till the MMS comes thru?
You can do that too. But for many its good enough to be a fix... If you're like me and don't use wifi calling.
I know it sucks, but at least you'll know what's causing it. Maybe if enough people complain they'll fix it.
I've heard some 3rd party apps allow mms to send over wifi and therefore will work with wifi calling.
Tmobile only allows mms to send over data connection.

Are you sure? I get pix all the time at home and I'm showing 100% without signal. 0 bars but still the triangle. This is with Wi-Fi calling always on. Stock and xquizit.
Sometimes I do get the "data roaming" lost connection bs and lose Wi-Fi calling.

Well, I was sure until I read your post! :what: lol
I guess it could very well be that it was fixed with UVALH2 and i forgot. Maybe I just need to go to sleep!
Ive forgotten more than I'll ever know!

Similar thing happens to me. Wifi get stuck or conflict with Data signal.
I always turn Network Data off 1st, then turn WiFi on - once WiFi fully loaded => turn data on. That way it prevent wifi conflict. Works for me.

You might be partially right lol. There was a thread about turning mobile data off and that killed MMS over WiFi. All I know is that I'm able to send and receive MMS at home and I have no cell signal. There's no way the MMS are going through the cell tower. Technically speaking I do have some sort of signal. Even though it says no signal it's a blank triangle and not the circle with a line through it. It's enough to register with the network I guess...
I think I need sleep too. Turning WiFi off gave me the no signal circle. So iono wtf.
I know this has something to do with the custom ROM I'm using (Wicked V.5). I've never seen this issue, and I've been using Androids for 2 years. Even before I flashed Wicked, I had no issues on the same device on the same WiFi network.
Xquizit xD works fine for me.

My issues was with Wi-Fi on and Wi-Fi calling off. You might wanna try changing ur Wi-Fi calling setting to use cellular when available. The middle one then reboot. Should be good to go

Yep that works fine. I really wish it worked with Wi-Fi calling enabled though.. :-\
According to Textra, they are working with T-Mobile to allow them access to Wi-Fi mms , like the stock app does.

How to have better connection? While WiFi on?

It was asked before but cannot find it. I belive barcardilmon said a fix but havent found it so im asking again. When wifi is on I have 0 bars. When its off I have my regular bars like 2 or 1 of LTE but its odd that it drops to 0 when wifi is on.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Do you have WiFi calling activated? If you do, that disactivates your mobile radios and all calls are placed over your WiFi network.

Turn on Wi-Fi calling. Make call to voicemail. Hang up. Go into setting more click Wi-Fi calling. Tap it and go to connection preferences. Hit cellular preferred. Disable Wi-Fi calling and you should be good

G4 Suspends Wifi Calling in Airplane Mode?

So, after being unable to use T-Mobile inflight texting and Gogo not being able to tell me much about why, I finally tried to see if I could connect to wifi calling at home (where it has and still does work regularly) while in Airplane mode. To my surprise, I couldn't, and the moment I turned Airplane Mode off, wifi calling came right back. Has this been everyone else's experience as well? Any known workarounds?
TIA
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
Because airplane mode turns off the WiFi radio?
Sent from my VS986 using XDA Free mobile app
But I can turn wifi back on and use it with airplane mode on. Wifi calling never comes back, and I didn't have this problem with my T-Mobile Note 3.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
I can definitely use wifi calling while in airplane mode. Are you getting a REG99 error? or an ER81?
I'm getting the REG99 error indeed. And if I pay for gogo, I can connect and use the WiFi, just can't use the WiFi calling.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
Nope, I had the same error while on the plane. I've made three trips recently, and all of them have failed. I hit up the customer service through their website on my phone, and each time, was granted a two hour pass (duration of the flight) to use hangouts instead.
This occurred on different airlines with all three flights.
TMO was not able to figure this out either, since I had them look into this since the first time it failed on me.
Yeah, definitely seems like my phone won't do WiFi calling when airplane mode is on.

There are documented problems with wifi calling and xposed. As I recall, the gist of it is that with xposed installed, Wi-Fi calling works only if lte is available. Without xposed, wifi calling will work with wifi only, as it's expected to.
There's a thread somewhere here about this on the t-mobile section. Basically if you install a deodexed rom, wifi calling works as it's supposed to.
Thanks for the heads up! Guess I won't be wifi texting on flights.

Circling back, flashing a deodexed ROM indeed fixed it. Thanks! [emoji106]
