I have a question about getting wifi calling. I moved into a new apartment and my signal is awful. I have an att g3 (d850) that I have unlocked onto Tmobile, and I was wondering if either it was possible to succesfully use a d851 rom with wifi calling on my g3 or some other way to get that feature. Not having signal is extremely frustrating so any help would be apprecited
Sorry, you can't use a D851 Rom on the D850 and you can't port over wireless calling either.

Just got one of these new in white off Swappa to test on the T-Mobile network. Currently using a T-Mobile branded LG L9 which has wifi calling (service at home blows) and helps tons. Has anyone here ported wifi calling to work on this device by any chance?

You prob wont get wifi calling on the G Pro. Also you will only get 2G/EDGE in unrefarmed areas.

Yeah true about the wifi calling; shame this phone only came to AT&T. I'm going to take a chance and see how the refarmed coverage behaves and maybe sell the phone or keep it based on my observations.
Hi
I am new to Android - having spent the last 6 years with Apple. When I was looking for a new phone I went for the LG G3. I bought the D850 AT&T version and have had it unlocked for use in the UK (im on the giffgaff/o2 network). The phone is working fine and I can get 4g as normal, however I cant tether the device.
I checked with giffgaff and tethering is allowed on my plan. but when I try to tether from the phone it fails when it tires to authenticate - "Authentication was unsuccessful. There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the mobile hotspot function. Please try later"
Its been saying this for the past week and I am in a good data coverage area, so its not a network coverage area.
So its making me think its a carrier issue and I am looking some advice on whether I should install the UK firmware or a custom rom? Having a tethering option is important for me so happy to try a few ideas.
thanks for any input

I expect it is related to the fact that your phone is the US AT&T version, not the D855 international variant that you should be using in the UK. You are likely running into a "feature" installed to the D850 variant by AT&T to only enable tethering after requesting permission from the network and receiving approval back. Obviously this is intended to limit tethering to only paying customers on their network, and because you're not on AT&T - or even in the states at all - the approval never comes back.
You can't flash the D855 rom to a D850, but a custom rom may help. Alternatively you may be able to root and maybe the D850 guys know of a way to disable the check. Or you could just sell the phone on eBay and buy the correct variant!

Thanks for the reply stiggy2012.
Yea its the AT&T version of the D850 and like you said think its a feature by them to stop or check tethering for their customers.
Would prefer to keep the handset if possible as would get a lot less by selling it on ebay then have to pay more to but the UK version.
While you said I wont be able to flash to a d855 rom, what about flashing on the lollipop update that hasnt been released in the uk?
I recently brought my LG G3 with me to Europe (while on Honeymoon) because I found out from T-Mobile that I could use text and data there at no extra cost. My phone works fine in the United States. But it doesn't find a carrier connection in London; Southampton; Vigo, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; Cadiz, Spain; Gibraltar; and Barcelona.
I tried my phone in each location and it never connected to anything that wasn't WiFi. That really really sucked. I get that I have it rooted and I am using a different Lollipop ROM than stock. But I didn't think that would prevent it from connecting to towers there.
So what happened? What would be on a fully stock T-Mobile LG G3 that I wouldn't get on my rooted and ROMed version? I'm sure it something simple, but I would really like to know so that I can fix the problem before I go back.
did you turn on roaming?
mine worked great in Paris.
also, if you have really older version of rom

Worked for me in Paris and Lisbon. I've had some issues when wifi calling is enabled, though. I think there are some very real modem issues but I eventually got it to work.
I have been trying to use my verizon LGG4 on AT&T, I don't have an issue with call and messages but the data is not working on LTE, I have been upgraded to 13B and haven't rooted yet as the other forum suggested for T-Mobile, but I haven't seen any specific solutions for AT&T.
I have tried to change several options on Mobile network for data and APN setting but nothing is working.
Can I have any expert help on this.
If you look at the T-Mobile thread, there is also a lot of discussion regarding AT&T/Cricket. AFAIK, there is currently no solution for AT&T, so you are stuck on HSPA currently. I ditched Cricket and went to T-Mobile, works like a charm now with great speeds. I realize that may not be a solution for everybody, but I have my doubts a solution for AT&T is possible, at least on the current firmware.

I'm about to buy a Verizon version for super cheap that's unlocked for my at&t, does mms work? And is your H+ fast? Could u do a speed test and post the results? I just don't want to waste my money.
Hello, anyone here with a lg g3 gsm version able to set the phone to use lte only and still get voice? I am currently using a uscell lgg4 and recently switched to cricket. the issue im having is the phone will not hold on to an lte signal and will switch over to edge unless i reset the wireless radio to get lte back for a while. so ive been setting the phone to use lte/cdma which allows me to always be on a fast lte but then i don't get voice because cricket is gsm and theres no option for lte/gsm.. and the reason im asking about the g3 is because i want to go back to it over the g4 because i dont trust the g4 anymore after the bootloop issues ive experienced.
