I'm traveling overseas in September for over half a month and want to call Sprint and get them to freeze my account while I'm gone. I understand the monthly fee is $8.99 (don't know if they will pro-rate it or what) which is much better than paying for that month of service that you hardly use.
Since I'm going out of the country and won't be able to use my EVO, I'm assuming I can freeze my account but still use the phone, just without any mobile wireless capabilities.
The wifi should be able to look up stuff online, check email, and look at Google Maps, correct? I just want to make sure there's not some weird kind of thing that Sprint would lock out all the features of your phone.
Bottom line: you can freeze your account but still use all features besides making calls and sending texts via mobile broadband, right? But all apps (besides GPS) can work off wi-fi, unless the app is specifically designed to use mobile broadband only.
Thank you to anyone who helps!
get you a google voice number and you'll have a phone as long as you're on wifi too

I thought that would be the case too, but GV relies on the phone's non broadband capabilities - so you need mobile broadband/phone line for it to work.
I thought I was being clever and found away to never use minutes by using GV to dial to landlines but that's not the case.
I would venture to say that unless you are traveling somewhere that has cdma coverage, your normal phone related functions won't work anyway since you won't have reception. You really shouldn't need to pay a fee to basically disable the phone portion of your phone since on the evo, you have the option to have the airplane mode exclude wifi from the radios it disables. I traveled to the UK back in april and can attest to the fact that the wifi on my old pre worked without a hitch and I can also confirm that it did not receive signal either so there were no incoming calls or sms messages to worry about. All that said, you shouldn't have any trouble with wifi. As long as you're on wifi, google maps should work just fine as well.

OK thanks, I didn't want to assume anything, because, you know, I really wouldn't be surprised if a company froze more than just sending/receiving texts/calls capability (in addition to web surfing obviously).
I just don't want to pay almost $100 for 2 weeks of service out of the month - so I need to give em a call and see if they can freeze it for 2 weeks and charge me half as much, that way I can save a little cash.

Did you use it through a SIP program or just the GV app by itself? I will have to test it out when I'm there.
i blv i done it both ways.

Well that would be even better, I do hope you're right!
Any VOIP should work on wi-fi... damn skype and Fring shenanigans... I was so looking forward to that when I deployed... would have made it so much easier to communicate with my wife. (shes not real big on technology and my short fuse of trying to setup/explain how to do new things sucks) lol...
You basically sumed it up, all apps should work fine unless they need specific network support. In my past experiences with deploying for short terms, it was actually just easier to suck it up and pay the bill instead of downgrading service. They don't always get it right and if you end up coming back early it can be a PITA to get it back on..

Thanks, I was thinking about the same thing about it being such a pain in the ass to deal with it as well... and when I finally get back stateside at least I'll definitely have service.
Although Google Voice requires the mobile network for phone, it uses data for sms and I expect mms. So if you had WiFi access you would have texting available.

Ever since the Jelly Bean update the Google Voice function has been intermittently unavailable. If I keep canceling it out and opening it back up eventually it works. I did a factory reset and it didn't help. No one has posted about the issue so I wondered am I the only one? And is there a fix for it? Thanks, Jeff.
Note: Sometimes if I wait long enough the error that pops up says server unavailable.
App is called "Voice Search" by Google Inc and is version 2.1.4
You need to download "google search" that is google now. Both should be downloaded and in tts settings should be set to whatever you use. I use ivona because it sounds much better like a real voice.

Also every portion of the phone needs to be set to US english... the google now settings, tts settings, and the keyboard i believe....
It's not either of those. It's installed already and set up correctly. I even have english downloaded for offline use. I forgot to mention I'm all stock touchwiz never rooted, so there's no excuse for this issue. I don't know if the JellyBean data Keis put on my phone was corrupted somehow, or if everyone else has this issue but found a solution. That said does anyone have this problem or just me?

Well not everything gets spoken, but try to duplicate the issue again.... Ask it the same question over and over... ask it what time is it, it always reads that... then ask it who is the president of the united states, or what is the date.... all of those get read back... see if stumbles, and report back, and also report have u tried any resets or anything... stock jb?
I think I figured it out. My Smart Keyboard wants to use the voice and so did Google Voice Typing, so I unchecked the one I don't use and for the last minute I've had no issue. It will be a few days before I can be sure but I usually have this problem pretty frequently.

Saying google while in google now makes it listen...
I was wrong about figuring this out by un-checking one of the voice keyboards in the keyboard menu. That solution worked out of coincidence.
I found that I could fix it every time I restarted; then I found I could go into airplane mode and back out to fix it; then I tried all the things airplane mode affected and found that I could turn off Bluetooth and it would work, and when I turned on Bluetooth it would stop working. I found this while sitting in my car which connects my Bluetooth to the radio and a microphone above my head. I will try to narrow the problem down further to see if any other Bluetooth situations cause the issue, and I will report back.
I've the the problem with bluetooth as well, but I literally just started experiencing the issue without bluetooth enabled about 5 minutes ago. No matter what I do Google can't connect to the server.

Turns out it's something with my router's configuration. When I disabled wifi on the phone it started working. Anyone have any ideas what router settings might interfere with Google's voice recognition?
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Okay, after some Googling I setup port forwarding for port 19294 and now it's working. Not sure why this new router is blocking that port as none of the others I've used ever have...
I am experiencing this issue as well. At home on wifi, google voice comes on right away and listens. On the road (in the car and with bluetooth on) it keeps saying initializing. Today I will try voice recognition in the car with bluetooth turned off and will report back.
So this has happened to me at home and work but it's not consistent. Some times when I try to connect I get a message on the WiFi connect that says "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow" (see picture). Any idea what criteria is used to determine this, and is there a way to over ride it?
I'm at work right now and I just got kicked out wifi due to too slow lol.. but at home I have not got it yet.. maybe too much people at work using the wifi network. .
I setup my home network to have separated name (SSID) for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Network.
When I connect to the 2.4Ghz channel, no problem.
At the same distance, like 6 inches away from the router, when I connect to the 5Ghz channel, my 2 Galaxy Note 3 shows the same "network too slow" error and it will drop the connection.
This is one of the many reasons I returned my GSN 3
I also experienced another WiFi error.
At work, I can connect to the WiFi network with the WPA password provided, on my HTC One with no issue whatsoever.
When I tried to connect to the same network using the Note 3, it keeps telling me I have to "sign-in", when I click on the browser to "sign-in" (like those Free WiFi you can get at the hotel), there is no sign in page (because there is none) and brings me right to Google.com.
After that, the connection will last for 30 seconds or so and drop off.
The one I got initially and the replacement, both have the same issue, and I did inform T Mobile before I return them back.
4.3 problem? Samsung's problem? I don't know... All I know is I will wait until they resolve all these before I will reconsider getting this phone.
I spoke to them on same issue. Got new phone and they working on updating the WiFi drivers.
NOTE 3
Here is the fix for this it worked for me try this....
Go to wifi advanced settings lower left corner then uncheck auto network switch. Then check the box that pops up that says don't ask again. This should fix your wifi connecting issue...

So far yes. Not a 100% sure though because the problem was not consistent. Sometimes it would connect sometime give the message. So, I'll keep you posted if it comes back.
Not trying to say your post isn't serious enough but we all who are having this problem on a consistent basis need to make a thread about this and just not take anything for an answer, but to give people somewhere to complain about this & hopefully bring more attention to this because there is nothing that is fixing this issue. The only thing that will fix this is Samsung or a Dev on a custom ROM hopefully. If you uncheck the options in advanced settings, it just stops the pop up from coming up telling you the connection is to slow & dropping you, after unchecked it dont drop you but while still showing you a full connection it will not do anything data wise, connect to the internet, switch to a different site, no facebook, no twitter, no market etc..... Nothing, you dont get dropped you just cant do anything. I hope my anger dont make anyone think Im arguing with anyone in here and their opinions, we all have this problem and are trying to help eachother, im just poitning out that those who are thinking this is fixing things its not, its just stopping the pop up. I am very frustrated this is happening on a brand new phone i waited this long for and paid as much as i did for. There should be a freaking petition started for this cause its just wrong.
Works fine for me my wifi never disconnects now after unchecking auto network switch and always scanning... Idk what to tell you guys that are still having the issue because I had the same issue when I first got the phone too...
Maybe try forgetting the network then reconnect after unchecking those settings and reboot...

Not all phones are created equal. Samsung needs to change the wifi drivers on the phone or a dev needs to take note 2 drives and add them to a custom rom.

I posted this in a different forum also but figured id post it here to. I just got off the phone with Samsung & they told me its not a major reported problem, wtf, lol? Everyone i know who owns this phone has this problem with it sayin internet connection to slow and booting them off, even with full signal. Im on my 2nd phone now & have the same problem. They tried telling me to go in to the wifi call settings & turn off wifi calling preferred, & i said why? Even though it's checked I have it off. I said seriously? what is that going to do for a wifi signal problem, lol. It's not my wifi calling it's my full wifi signal. I can tell this is going to be a huge problem & im returning my phone, 3rd time now, for a new one today, if i get the same problem, almost positive i will, im sadly going to have to return this phone & just get a refund instead. & that would really suck. Maybe i'll try a black one, but im sure it probably happens on that one to, lol.
I have been having this problem also. Turning off "Auto network switch" in the advanced network settings allows the phone to hold on to the connection, but it is completely unstable. I tested the connection using iPerf and it was all over the place. I can post screenshots when I get home later if it helps anyone. Samsung definitely needs to step in here.

Good evening all.
Has anyone with a G4 on VZW noticed issues with apps on wifi since the latest firmware update? I've called Verizon and been on the phone with them for HOURS to no avail.
The only time wifi works normally is in safe mode. When I'm on wifi, most apps just aren't functional at all. We thought it was some app in particular so we reset the phone and the issue persists. The only thing tech support suggests is giving me another refurbished G4 which will get us nowhere as the new G4 will just be running the same firmware.
This is problematic for me as I work in and out of different buildings on any given day. These buildings don't always provide the best reception. I clamored with Verizon for a different, comparable phone. I spoke with LG and their solution is me sending the phone in with the turnaround time being 5-7 business day which is also problematic as I don't have another phone to use. Verizon refuses to acknowledge it's an "issue" because it's not "wide spread". A quick search revealed that this problem is not limited to just me.
I've exhausted my options. I do not want to spend hours on the phone with Verizon again. I do not want to speak with LG for the same phone again. I simply want a working phone. This is the 3rd G4 that I've had that does not work. The 3rd G4 in almost as many months. What are my options here?
tl;dr This is my 3rd LG G4 that doesn't work and the latest firmware update broke the wifi functionality. Verizon refuses to acknowledge the issue and will only give me the same phone, not a comparable phone. What are my options?"
Yup. Since the update. Wifi on my phone is lagging horrendously.

I spoke with them again today. Their only option is to send the same phone again which isn't going to fix anything unfortunately.
Same problem here (and also with friends who have both VZW and the G4). This exact issue popped up on the LG G3, also after an update. Infuriating that they broke another otherwise good phone. The workaround is to install an app called DNSet. It sets the DNS to Google's, which fixes it.

Yeah I'm having the same issue. It's maddening!! Nothing comes through unless I manually sync or have to open the app to get it to sync. How is this an acceptable software update for verizon - who usually requires a high level of quality control on software updates??
The Update broke Notifications over WiFi. It has something to do with IPv6. Verizon PULLED the update because this is a major problem.
Either call Verizon and have them replace the phone (you will get the older firmware 11A back on it)
OR
The fix is to download DDNS or something (It is a VPN service) that routes ALL internet traffic over IPv4 connections. I forget the specific name, but it is being heavily discussed in the "VERIZON UPDATE" forum in the General section.

Read the thread, I think toward the end more.

Give this solution a shot, and what router (make/model) do you have exactly?
You can fix this issue without root by using the app DNSet from the Google Play store. You hit 1 button (the one and only button), and it turns off IPv6, and problem solved.

Hi, I just switched from Project Fi to T Mobile and wifi calling is not working on my Pixel 2 XL. If I'm in airplane mode, turn on wifi, and make a call, it gives me an error that says "turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call."
My searches on the net seem to show varying results with it seeming to work for some and not others. Please help! Please respond if you have a Pixel 2 XL on T Mobile and if wifi calling is working for you in airplane mode. I assume that a true wifi call on the Pixel will show a wifi symbol on the call screen, as it did for me when I was on Project Fi.
Thanks!
Just tried. Haven't used the wifi calling as I have a T-Mobile LTE hot spot and haven't needed to at home since. Worked fine though on stock 8.1 no root. Airplane mode active, WiFi on.
Never turned it on until I tested it out, I'm on 8.1 stock unrooted March patch and it works just fine.

Great suggestion, thank you. As I just started my T Mobile service yesterday, I had not entered an e911 address yet, which the store rep had asked me to do. However, I just added it and still have no wifi calling ability. That said, I'm not sure if this takes time to work, in other words now that I've put in the address if it takes 24 hours or something?
The other thing is that based on the error message I get, which I posted on page one of this thread, "turn off airplane mode....", it does not suggest a problem with the e911 address. It feels like a settings issue to me. An advanced settings issue. All I've got is a gut feeling and nothing to back it up. I've asked T Mobile for help on this and they are only somewhat interested because my phone is not a T Mobile device.
And that link you've included is GREAT because it officially suggests the Pixel 2 has wifi calling capability on T Mobile. Not the Pixel 2 XL but...it still might be good ammo for me when asking for help when they're not so interested.

Thank you for posting this picture! This is exactly what I'm looking for and what I recognize from successful Wi-Fi calling on Project Fi recently. I can tell that you feel my pain here and I appreciate it.
Another indication I'm noticing is that when I'm in airplane mode and Wi-Fi is on, I get a "no connection" indication bar in Android messages. See the attached thumbnail. That should not be happening and further indicates something is amiss. I think when that goes away I will have with Wi-Fi calling capability.
I had to enable the wifi calling within the phone app and it worked.

I've definitely done that, and gone through all of the menus.
To add insult to injury, my wife's MotoX4, on the same account and also brand new to T Mobile, has perfectly functioning wifi calling.
Thanks again for all of the responses. I may try going back to the store and having them re-provision my phone, in case something didn't get done right initially.

Whatever you don't, don't let any T-Mobile idiot try to lie to you saying you need a T-Mobile branded phone for wifi calling. When I was having issues getting this setup, one of the Tier 2 IT techs tried selling that line of bull****.

I know, I've received that one already. But there's way too much evidence on here and other forms to suggest that it absolutely works with the pixel 2 and can be done. I just need to find someone at T-Mobile who's willing to work on it with me.
If anyone has a contact at T-Mobile who they like, PLEASE let me know.
Would anyone who hasn't already specified please let me know if your phone is a Verizon specific device as opposed to the Google Store Pixel 2 XL? No one has said that their Google version has wifi calling working yet and that is the only thing I can think of.
Thank you!
