Hello I was just wondering if there is any way to force my phone to roam. I'm just doing some network comparisons and was wondering if I can make my phone roam on ATT. My Tmobile galaxy nexus finds the network but never connects to it.
nobody can help with this or what
Try change your APN settings to a different carrier, or set your network to a different Carrier (Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators)
I recently bought an unlocked Galaxy S3 (T999) and have set it up for use with Straight Talk, but I have an issue with the phone auto selecting network operators (settings>more settings>mobile networks>network operators). My straight talk sim will only work when the At&t network operator is selected. My phone, however, will automatically switch the network operator to T-Mobile when my signal for At&t is poor, even though I can't roam or use it. This is annoying because it makes it appear that I have signal bars, when in reality with At&t I don't.
Is there any way to disable the phone automatically changing these settings, and is there a way to edit the Default Setup option, it's currently greyed out and unchangeable. Thanks for your help!

That's not it. The only one on is the straight talk one. Any other ideas on how to stop the auto network operator changes?
I was able to get into the "Service Mode" main menu. Under option 2) UE SETTINGS & INFO then SETTINGS and finally PROTOCOL MENU. Option 2) NAS. Which shows LTE related stuff. The first option NETWORK CONTROL then option 5 "PREF MODE SET"
There I selected GSM_WCDMA_LTE and I was prompted to reboot the device. I did so and noticed the 3G still there not 4G or LTE.
I did a speed test (wifi not set up) on data with my providers LTE apn settings and my speeds went up. Before playing in the service menu I averaged 3.5meg down and about 650kbs up. Now I'm getting on average 12meg down and 8meg up!
I noticed a lot of other LTE related options in the service menu. Like band(s) and things. Does anybody know if I need to change any other options in the service menu to get true LTE.
Hi,
On my HTC 10 with stock 1.80.401.3 I can't find any settings related to Video Calling and I can't find any option to enable it.
Also I don't have an "Advanced Calling" menu on my Settings section. On Verizon site it seems Verizon models have both.
Is that normal? I mean, is Europe models stripped of this functionality? Or was it non-existent from the start?
If not how can I enable it?
As a side note I have 4G enabled both on my phone and my carrier.
I dont have the option either. Try an app from the playstore.
I recently purchased a new Sprint Z2 Force and activated it on Ting (it has only ever been on Ting and never on Sprint directly). Both Sprint and Ting support WiFi calling on this phone, but WiFi calling is not listed under the WiFi settings or in the Call settings of the dialer. However if I search in the settings for WiFi calling, I can see a WiFi Calling Settings in the App Info section, yet there is no way to turn it on or open those settings. I have updated the profile multiple times and also did a factory reset.
Am I missing something or is there something missing in the software since it never got activated directly on Sprint?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
I do the custom rom thing and i sort of remember it just being there however, if you have not already checked "Mobile Networks" - under main phone settings, select "Network & Internet" once there, select "Mobile Network" - you'll see your carrier stuff/APN there I believe if you select "enhanced 4G LTE Mode" (you may have to make LTE you're preferred network mode in order to enable and/or display that option, again this was already there on mine. But see if that opened up any new menu items elsewhere i.e. back in the dialer app settings under "calls".
Did your phone come with a sprint SIM? Do you have the other carrier bloatware on there like Sprint ID? I know what you meant earlier about a possible software bypass, but all of that stuff is deff on the phone somewhere like you observed in App info, it may just be a matter of popping in a sprint SIM card to unleash it..
I continued to look into this for you. Sprint's name for Wifi calling is, well was -"Calling Plus". I found this article that advises one of the recent update removed the feature;

Since you got the sprint version you still have lots of software modification options. I also have sprint z2 foce, but I get better coverage on a GSM netwrok so my device is half sprint\half tmobile and I can deff say the wifi calling works. There's tons of information on here I can always help direct ya, but at least you're not crazy it WAS there.
lastly just to be sure, this has to be done prior,
"Log into your Ting account online and go to Device settings. Find the device you want to enable Wi-Fi calling for and click the edit icon in the Minutes section."

Thank you for all the info so far! Here are some answers and additional info:
My phone did come with a Sprint Sim in it and that is the one I am using. Also there is not any of the Sprint Bloatware on the phone. If I search "Sprint" in my settings area, there is a My Sprint Launcher that is listed as Disabled and there seems to be no way to enable it, which is similar to the WiFi Calling Settings that shows up when I do a search for it in the settings. Also if I look at the Apps and "Show System" apps, Mobile ID is there which is the Sprint ID software I believe, but again it is Disabled with no option to enable it.
The WiFi calling is turned on in the Ting account.
The Calling Plus feature was disabled by Sprint in that link you shared, but that just disables WiFi calling over LTE. It does say regular WiFi Calling should be available.
On my phone when I go to Network & Internet > Cellular Networks> I see my Preferred Network Type which was Automatic, I switched it to LTE/CDMA. That does not seem to have opened any additional settings for me in the dialer or elsewhere.
Thanks again for all your support. If you have any other suggestions, let me know, but you have offered a lot already.
