T-Mobile/MetroPCS Wifi Calling error code ER081 - LG G8 Questions & Answers

Switched to MetroPCS to get WiFi calling, and all I get when I try to enable wifi calling is Er081. I've restarted my phone about 4 times to no avail. Any suggestions? Many of the fixes I've seen include playing with router ports, but I don't know enough about it to try it. Thanks in advance. Running Pie with Jan. 2020 Security on LM-G820TM

tmous shows 3g connection but no internet

yesterday the internet connection on my phone seemed to have stopped working. While the phone shows that it is connected to tmobile 3g, whenever i try to access anything requiring data (twitter, opera, etc) i simply get whichever error is associated with that program saying it cannot connect. I have tried several different radios and still get the same errors. however, everything seems to work over wifi.
I was using NRG's maxsense from june 12 when this problem started yesterday, have flashed to the june 26 cookie ROM from NRG and the problem persists.
I have also tried a few different apn's for tmous as well as turning off 3g.
using only EDGE seems to alleviate this issue.
any help would be appreciated.
does restarting the 3g connection work at all? this is a problem with at&t periodically, resetting usually but not always works. when it doesn't I call tech support and the very act of them looking at my account seems to fix the problem.

Sprint S6 MM update and wifi issues

I just took the 6.0.1 update for the Sprint S6, and I am having some interesting wifi issues. I can't get any sort of Internet connection at home, even though it is connected to the network. However, I went to Starbucks and I was able to get a connection there. Then I come to work, and I get no connection here. I had read that the Verizon S6 had similar issues with the update, and it had to do with MM having issues with tkip encryption. Can anyone confirm that this could be the problem with the Sprint update?

I was experiencing extremely bad/slow wifi connectivity after installing MM. I deleted my my wifi extension configuaration (MM kept connecting to my wifi extender difinition - slower speed). That improved wifi performance close to pre-MM. Also turned of smart network switch (settings - more - smart network switch) witch seemed to improve the reliability of my wifi connection.

I am having this same problem too. I am also having issues with text messages not sending.
My network connection, both at home and traveling, has been flawless. My suggestion to you would be to switch your home router at AES, see if that resolves the issue and then switch back and see what happens.
There is at least one ticket open on Google's Android site regarding the TKIP issue. Open since May, I might add.

Nougat disabled my hotspot after 3 weeks of good behavior?

So weird, ive been running Nougat 4.0.2 for a couple weeks and havent found any real bugs or problems. I take advantage of T-mobile as much as i can and Hotspot off my phone for my tablet and Google Chrome. If your familiar with T-mobile, it is unlimited.
So last night i found my tablet had an update for Nougat, and turned on my hotsopt from the OP3 and about 5 min later i found the hotspot was off..... But not due to no device connected....(had that problem a couple of times) It is now completely grayed out. Wont let me toggle the option on anymore!
When i talked to T-mobile they think its a problem on my phones side and they suggested to a re install of my OS...
Received 4.0.2 over OTA (running great for about 3 weeks)
Stock/Not rooted
Bootloader is stock
Any suggestions?
well in the screen shots you added the option isn't grayed out. the usb tethering is grayed out because it isnt connected to a pc. what you want is to toggle portable wifi hotspot
OMG..... i feel like a complete Tard.... I was going back and forth with T-MOBILE changing APNs and about to do a master reset, convinced i had a problem!
Sorry for creating a new thread to just to confirm my wife's thoughts that i am a complete TARD.....my bad.... And thank you
its an OOS 4.x issues, if u have a wifi hotspot security code it shows that u do u not have a device connected so it disables wifi hotspot after 5 minutes. i noticed mine stays on for more than 5 min if i do not have a wifi hotspot security code and device shows connected

Geting WiFi tethering to work on Pixel 2 after the Andriod 8.1 update.

So I just updated my phone to the last (March 5th, 2018) update of Andriod 8.1 and now the wifi hotspot is no longer working. I can enable the hotspot, and devices can connect to the hotspot, but there's no internet access. My phone is unlocked but unrooted and I am absolutely sure that my plan supports tethering (double checked). This seems to be a bug in the new 8.1 update that came out about 5 months ago. Has anyone found a workaround or a fix to this problem?
Thanks for reading, I know a lot of people are having this problem and I'm hoping we can find a solution.
Had same exact issue on the Google Pixel XL (unlocked). Had just recently changed carriers to VZW. Long story short the last thing I tried was to delete the VZW APN, reboot phone, try hotspot once again an poof my hotspot connected devices had internet connection. Only real APN change I noticed was additional "bearers". It still working fine.

WiFi issues: can't connect to any network anymore [T800]

In the last 6 months or so I have been experiencing frequent wifi issues, regardless of the custom ROM I'm using. Usually some time after a new installation I am unable to connect to the networks I normally use (my home network and the one at work which uses a proxy server). No matter what I do (clear cache, factory reset, change ROM...) the problem persists. In settings a number of random messages are given: secured, disabled, authentication problem, etc. Every now and then I can get a connection (never at work though) but it doesn't last long. Any help for troubleshooting this would be appreciated. I hope it isn't hardware failure since I'm still enjoyng this tablet after all these years!
Mine started having wifi issues off and on a couple of weeks ago. The wifi started to not turn back on after waking it up, at first just in manually turning it off and then back on seemed to work. Last Friday it just wouldn't stay on at all. I would go to the wifi in settings, it sometimes would get stuck saying turning on. I finally did a factory reset on it, it at first seemed to fix the problem, even spent a couple of hours trying to get everything set back up. Then the problem returned, it just keeps turning the wifi off, if i can even get it to turn on at all. I was going to try and use my phone as a hotspot through Bluetooth (not sure if i can or jot, never tried before), but even the Bluetooth won't stay on. So Sunday, after spending way to many hours fighting with it, i went out and got a new tablet.

Have you tried using the Samsung Kies app to flash the latest stock rom, Dont use Odin or other non Samsung approved flashing software.
I have had my T800 for over 4 years and had no real problem with the wifi connection, But i have heard that there can be compatibility problems with some wifi routers, Also try changing the channel number on your router, Auto channel was giving me poor connection on my PC, I ran the inSSIDer wifi app and it said to manually change my wifi channel to channel 1 the clearest channel as other wifi and bluetooth and wifi dongle even you smart gas/electric can cause interference., auto was picking channel 13 for some reason and it fixed my problem.

Thanks, but since it's the router at my workplace there's not much I can do on that side. Question is, are there any specific steps I can take to verify if it's software-related or if the wifi module is just gone?
Wifi and Bluetooth both use the 2.4ghz frequency, So they can interferer with each other and can cause constant disconnect`s, I have seen this many time, Use 5.0ghz on your T800 if you can, Or disable Bluetooth.
Does your wifi work OK on other brands of router?, Or is it just the one you are using at work.

It's kind of tricky to answer: let's say the times this issue appeared it always stareted at work, but then also at home I couldn't keep a stable connection. Once the problem starts, I get no connection at work at all and very difficult connection at home (meaning it does connect intermittently).
UPDATE. After other attempts and a complete restore of stock firmware, I have both wifi and bluetooth not working, constantly "turning on...." but never activating.
