Wow no one here have courage? To try this? Lol
C'mon guys pop that SIM card in there and share the experience!!!!!!!!!!

I would like no know this too as I just got the 4G LTE and text messaging works flawlessly, except phone calls as it gives me busy signal on all calls that are made. Don't know what's wrong. The sim card is activated and everything works as it should. Except phone calls..

There's really not a lot to talk about. The SM-P601/5 are just giant phones. Anything a N3 can do, they can do. Dialers and MMS/SMS are pretty much the same on every phone and the SM-P601/5 are no exception.
Here's a screen shot...
P.S. - In order to use the voice and messaging features the SM-P601/5 have to be provisioned by your carrier as "phones." Tablet-specific data plans don't support calls or MMS even though the device is capable.

I was waiting for a response and didn't get anyone to chime in so I finally got my note 10.1 p605 so here goes yes you need to get a sim with voice and data plan it will work. I'm currently using it as my phone at the moment and it rocks!

I have the SM-P605 4G LTE and I couldn't figure out how to make phone calls on this device. Can you help?

Is your SM-P605 from a carrier or Samsung? The U.S. carriers and possibly some others disable voice and MMS and always have in the tablets they offer. If you don't see the Dialer and Messaging apps when you look in the app drawer I'm guessing they've been disabled in whatever version of SM-P605 you have. If you see them and can't use them that means the SIM you're using probably doesn't support voice and MMS. They're either there out-of-the-box or they aren't. If they aren't there's not a lot you can do about it.

BarryH,
I got mine from the Verizon store. I downloaded a Dialer app from Google Play and tried to make a call, but still no go. The app brought up a Dialer, but when I punch in a telephone number, and press Send, it just beeps and does nothing. The Sim card was from my 4G LTE phone. I swapped it over.
I was, however, able to make calls using Google Voice & Groove IP. But man, I would just love to be able to make calls just like a phone.

Can't recieve incoming calls our call out unless on EDGE

I have just received an i747 from a friend and had unlocked it to be able to use my T-Mobile SIM. Now the phone works but I cannot call out OR receive calls unless the phone is on EDGE. If it has a 3g connection I cannot call out or receive calls for some strange reason. When I try to call out it will not ring and hang up after about 20-30secs. I can also not if I turn the data off completely.
The IMEI does match the back off the device and i have system reset the device. I tried it while on: stock unrooted 4.1 / 4.4 , stock rooted 4.4 , and a custom rom (currently SlimKat). They all do the same thing.
Any fix for this would be great. My best guess is there is something wrong with my efs folder but everything seems to be there so I am not sure.
At the very least is there a way to disable 3g all together leaving only Edge and LTE? Although this is a last resort.
Thanks.
Edit: I forgot to mention that messaging and data connectivity work absolutely fine and I haven't had a problem with that.

Does T-mobile use AWS in your area? I read that AWS has to be renabled each time you start/restart the phone. The i747m (Canadian version) software doesn't natively support AWS.

Is there a chance the dropped calls could be due to an incorrect APN setting?

^^I thought APN settings affect data only and network type (gsm, wcdma) affect voice calls.

You're correct, once again I put mouth/fingers in motion before fully engaging brain. APN does control data, internet, mms, etc. I guess I was thinking AWS was related to data frequencies instead of voice frequencies.

^^ No worries. We're all here to learn from each other.

[Q] Chances of Wifi calling on GPE converted One's?

Just wondering if anyone with more knowledge of these things knows the possibility of getting wifi calling on our M8's running stock roms. There's news of the Nexus 6 over on T-Mobile getting wifi calling activated with the new 5.1.1 update. I have a T-mobile HTC One that I've since flashed skydragon stock rom on (fav rom so far) but the ONE thing I miss about Sense roms is the wifi calling feature. It isn't always necessary but those times that you do have it you're grateful that it's there (in the basement of a house, or in locations where T-mobile's network coverage is weak).
SO again, anyone here know whether that code introduced in 5.1.1 to allow wifi calling on a stock lollipop device on the magenta network will make an appearance on 5.1.1 roms?
DISCUSS! (And thanks)

doesnt hangouts dialer do the same thing?

Can you receive phone calls made to your cellular number on hangouts dialer?

wifi calling question
I'm also very interested in this WiFi calling is the only reason I don't have stock android right now.

yes, but I believe you'd need to setup/activate google voice and port the number over first.

6.20.502.5 ATT Firmware

Hi All,
Has anyone extracted the the firmware from the RUU? I did a quick search and just saw one with the HBOOT. Also has anyone installed the HTC RUU? Is it any good?
Thanks in advance.

Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66871005&postcount=13

Of course wnc and ckpv5 would be involved!
Guess I should have looked a little harder than searching by the numbers!
Many thanks!

If anyone is looking for an already modified version of the 6.20.502.5 firmware. I removed the boot.img and the recovery.img file and replaced the hboot file with one that has no red text. This firmware works fine on the AT&T and Developer's Edition models.
Download here.

Hey everyone in this post,
Please check to make sure that you are receiving voice calls. I just discovered that I can make outgoing calls just fine however ALL incoming calls are going directly to voicemail. I'm going to do a little more research but it looks as though I'll need to revert to an earlier firmware. I'm guessing this has something to do with HD Voice.
A couple more things of note: I'm on the latest version of ARHD which is 53.1 (MM); texts work fine both ways; data is fine; voicemail functions fine. Just to give a little background.

I'm having the same problem. I fiddled with the APN settings and it seemed (I'll try again) to fix that issue. Meaning I manually entered the APN settings and I was able to receive calls. A bit ridiculous.
Edit: It's not the APN Settings that helped. It's actually switching the preferred network from LTE to 3G or maybe even 2G. Haven't checked it on 2G.

I finally got mine working but I have no idea what the magical combination ended up being. I did downgrade to a previous 6.12 firmware but that alone didn't do the trick. I also manually added a new APN in addition to many other things one by one. I was actually on an outgoing call and my line beeped because I had a call waiting! I was so shocked (and pleased) that I hung on the person I was speaking with and answered the call. From then on it has worked fine. Having said that I'm going to sit tight with the phone the way it is until someone much smarter than me lays out a solid plan.
I'm glad you got beyond your problem as well :good:

Are you still able to receive phone calls while on 4G? Any further issues? I asked because ever since upgrading to LP firmware I no longer can receive incoming phone calls while on 4G but I can make calls. I have noticed that while on a call on 4G I can receive calls which is strange. So I have to stay on 3G to receive all incoming calls. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks

Your situation does sound similar to mine. Whatever combination of zany things that happened for me as forced my network into HSPA+ whereas it used to read LTE. I'm not referring to the icon in the status bar (that still reads 4G). If I go into Settings>About>Network>Cellular network type. That's where I see HSPA+, HSPA or HSPAP depending on where I am. My speeds are WAY slower but it's still functional, yet there's something obviously still broken. Since I can receive calls now I've decided to just "live with it" until I come across a proper solution that I know will work. If that day should ever come though, I'll be sure to post back here.
Update:
I am back to my "Cellular network type" displaying "LTE" and my download speeds also confirm this. Below are the additional steps I took to get to this point:
1. In the phone dialer enter *#*#4636#*#* (takes you to a "Phone info" screen)
2. Scroll down to "Set preferred network type" (take note of its current selection in case you need to go back)
3. Using the dropdown, select GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
That's it. After a few seconds my data icon refreshed and I knew I was good to go. For good measure I went back to Settings>About>Network to verify my Cellular network type. Good luck.

AT&T's deployment of Voice over LTE (which they've branded "HD Voice") does not play well with international-based custom ROMs (basically, most any ROM that is not ATT based). Issues with voice calls is the common symptom.
Best workaround is to call AT&T and ask them to turn off HD Voice for your account (may need to ask for 2nd Tier tech support before you get someone who knows what you are talking about). Yes, you can turn off LTE, but that is obviously not a great option.
Other fixes (APN, firmware) are likely placebo effect at best. Went down a similar path trying to troubleshoot this problem for folks a year ago, before coming to the conclusion (Post #9): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/incoming-calls-lte-mode-m8-att-arhd-34-0-t3026710

Volte Not working... Not switching to 4g for incoming calls. Help!

I've about had it with this phone internationally unlocked HTC 10 here originally had Oreo on it I downgraded back to nougat properly with the 2.51 latest firmware and now Sim is working on nougat but any AOSP ROM I use voice over LTE never works. I don't absolutely need voice over LTE to work but my phone does not always switch the connection to 4G to receive incoming calls either sometimes it would just stay on LTE and then the caller will be pushed to voicemail immediately. I can make calls from my phone fine but receiving has been a huge problem. I even tried the leedroid nougat ROM and it is doing the same thing as I thought it was an AOSP problem but that can't be the case as it possibly something with my firmware? I just want this headache to go away and receive my calls properly again! Any help will be greatly appreciated
Carrier is tmobile

So I've discovered that volte does not work with AOSP ROMs but it seems when I get a call the LTE does not go down to 4G to let the call be received is there anything I can do
