There seems to already be several T-Mobile Note 4 ROMs available in that section. I have found several references to Verizon Note 4 owners flashing T-Mobile ROMs. What needs to be done to accomplish this and keep the device on the Verizon network?

I'm on US Cellular, so I don't know how different we are from your carrier.
I've got TWRP and the StarKissed kernel, along with the stock ROM running fine on my Note 4. I went ahead and tried flashing T-Mobile ROMs, the only problem is my mobile data.
Unless I flash the StarKissed kernel on top of the stock ROM and dirty flash the T-Mobile ROM, I loose 4G. I can make calls, and receive text, but I can't send text or use the internet.
If I dirty flash, I can make calls and receive text. Still can't send text, but I do get 4G internet for a short time.
I've went into the 4636 menu and toggled CDMA/LTE auto PRL, and toggled the radio and airplane mode, but that doesn't give me mobile data after a clean flash.
Should just need the apn for verizon and should work fine
Would that solve my issue as well, use the US Cellular APN?
I have StarKissed and TWRP and my phone is laggy as hell. It will randomly just pause for a second or so and then catch up. It did it when I typed "phone" in this reply. Driving me crazy. I want to start over with a new ROM and see if it fixes it.

I added the APN settings, I still have no 4g at all. No internet, can't send texts, can receive, and my current network is 31000, not US Cellular. Any insight?

I don't have lag at all, you should be able to go ahead and flash a T-Mobile rom from there. Just make a backup first.

My first 4 did this. It was f'n Infuriating and determined to be defective so I swapped. My new One is fine.
Edit: l literally tried any and everything l knew and what was suggested. 1 Knew it was defective but didn't want to wait for a replacement. / finally gave in because it pissed me off so bad I would'nt even try to type or write , even the freaking spen did it.
Hope you get it resolved!
Did anyone get anywhere on what would be necessary to port a TMobile Rom over the the DE Verizon Note 4?
I am just curious if anyone else is having trouble with wifi calling after the update? I can't get mine to connect at all. Sometimes nothing ever happens and sometimes I get an error message ER081.. I googled it and only the Note 4 I believe is reported of having this issue and it was fixed by doing something to the router. I don't think that is the case for me because Ive reset them twice. I reset my phone too. I called TMo and they're clueless. Any ideas??

Just chiming in to say I'm having identical issues. Tried multiple wifi routers (work, friend's place, etc), none work. Unfortunately I don't have any advice beyond what you already mentioned (factory reset).
Questions:
Was your update OTA? I used LG mobile support tool.
Do you think re-downloading/installing the update would be worth trying? My first thought is no. Basically if 99% of functions are working then it seems unlikely there was an error in download/install steps...

So I found out it was my modem from Time Warner Cable. I ran some speed tests on my wifi and it was running extremely slow. I was still getting decent internet speeds on all my devices, but I guess it was slow enough to mess up wifi calling. It turns out they upgraded the firmware around the same time I reflashed 5.0. It was more of a matter of coincidence. Try to have your internet provider factory reset your modem and re-tune the wifi channels.
I have same issue too.
I used LG Mobile support tool too.
my sd card wasn't recognized by g3 at first, so I format the card and now it works.. I just need to fix this wifi calling, and heavy battery usage...
also, when I go check setting, it's pretty much stuck on enabling... and when I mess with VoLTE toggle, sometimes I get error message, 99
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got off phone with T-Mobile, tech support said, it's known issue, and temp fix is to get OTA via text msg and engineers are working on the backend to fix the issue.

I am having the same problem with the wi-fi calling....if anyone find out the solution please post
I got the problem resolved
I had the similar issue on my LG G3 after Android 5.0 upgrade. This is because of wifi calling upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 included in this android update.
I called T-Mobile support and they reset the APN settings over the phone. Issue is fixed now. Great!:highfive:
Just call T Mobile support at 611 and you will get your issue resolved. ( Don't play around with your home router! )

Well when I called 611 they tried everything and I still had the issue, they were about to do a device trade in because they couldn't figure it out. Might work for some, not me though.
If any of you want to roll back to kitkat I found a website that showed how to do it and it worked. I am getting alerts to upgrade but will wait til the bugs are fixed
I can't post the link because I haven't made 10 posts yet but if you are interested message me for the link and then maybe you can post if you posted more than 10 times
i called tmobile about this they said LG is aware of it and is working on a fix, when i asked them about hte APN they said nothing they could do on their end....
Just curious, is wifi calling working for anyone after 5.0? I've tried a bunch of APNs no luck. Thanks

Yeah that's what I had to do. I had Time Warner factory reset it. I have the Tmo cellspot router hooked up to the TWC modem and it wasn't working initially either. After they reset it and tuned the signal mine started working with no hiccups.
Try turning wifi off and wifi calling off. Then turn wifi on and wifi calling back on then see if it will work..

I spoke to T Mobile today concerning the WIFI calling not enabling. They stated that they are aware and have been working with LG to get a fix. But there is no time frame for the fix. However, I have a work around that helps me out.
1. Go to settings >> Networks and tap Airplane Mode.
2. Wait for Airplane mode to enable, and, wifi states "Connections not allowed".
3. This is important! Read carefully. otherwise this will not work. While Airplane mode is enabled, enable wifi. Wait! When Airplane Mode goes from being gray to bold then disable Airplane mode.
4. Wait a few seconds and wifi calling will come one.
Mine did stopped working as soon as i upgraded to LP. Went into T-Mobile and got a new sim.

So I used to tether alot on my s6 and had my service on a vacation plan and now ive reconnected it. Ive noticed now in the unlimited plan they offer 3gb hotspot will that now cut me off at 3gb, because I used to tether around 20gb a month. Thanks for any information
Question, How do I get tethering to work? I get a "You must subscribe" screen. I have tried xposed modules and playing around with the build.prop, deleting system apps that I suspected of causing this message. No go. HELP!

If you're rooted and have "dun" added to your APN settings it will not cut you off at 3gb. It will just appear as normal data usage under your Unlimited data info.

Can't is a strong word. You can do anything you put your mind too. You can simply ask Sprint, which I have never had a problem with. Or if you have an old device laying around still.. Reactivate the old device to your line, then switch back to your S6. You'll get the activation EMail containing your six digit activation number, or "MSL" Alternatively you could use Galaxy Tools.

I can vouch for this as well. Just tried it, and it is working perfectly. Thanks!
could somebody explain this whole thread to me please.
Am i to assume that i need root and some tweaking of permissions and what not? To acheive the unlimited internet with mobile hotspot? Does the phone come with a stock hotspot app? Or is one needed from the playstore?
My verizon phone note2 was never rooted and came with hotspot app. BUT, i was limited on the internet. Whereas, my sprint note2 had to be rooted and has the wifi tether app.
I've heard the coverage has improved. And from what i can tell with my sprint note2. That appears to be the case. I would really like to ditch verizon and get back to sprint. For half the price and unlimited. My verizon s6 appears to have better coverage then the note 2. And it has a stock hotspot app. I"m hoping to see improved coverage results with the sprint s6. And really want the unlimited internet. Preferably at the SPARK or 4g speeds that are available. ( I'm a truck driver )

Yay! That's all the was needed! But one Question, I accidentally enabled some sort of debugging using the Galaxy Tools APP I know it said (QCOM ONLY) at the end.and now anytime I boot it says silent log failed I tried doing a complete restore from a few days ago and it is still there.

Like the title says, I have Wifi issues with my PXL. For some reason the WiFi always turns off on its own. Not sure what it is or why it's doing it. I've gone through the settings and I don't see anything about WiFi turning off with weak signal or anything like that.
Does anyone else have this issue or do I have e a defect device?

Mine does the same thing and under the wifi settings I have the option selected to keep wifi on during sleep, but my wifi still goes off. Because my email app every time I turn my phone screen my email app shows no network then when wifi goes back on my email app shows it was last updated many times hours earlier to the time I last had the screen on. And I know nothing is shutting my email app off either, its all a problem with the wifi.
Also I have had issues connecting to open network wifi's such as walmart and kroger, it would connect but show no internet and every time it did this the wifi was working perfectly fine on my Htc 10 which was right beside my pixel xl. I had to mess around with it removing the wifi network then re adding back and forth then they started working. I also had to enable the wifi assistant to get them to work which I should not have had to.
So I believe they have wifi issues on the pixel xl. I"am on the x software and on verizon.

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.

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.

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!
