From the various source I've found online, including a video explaining how to set up a SIP account on Gingerbread's built-in SIP software, it seems that I should have an "Internet Call Settings" under Settings -> Call Settings. I don't.
FWIW, I'm using the GingerVolt 1.3 ROM (by mtmichaelson) and the Blitzkrieg kernel. I didn't check whether the pre-Blitzkrieg had this setting enabled under Call Settings or not (oops), so it may be the new kernel w/o SIP support? Or the GingerVolt ROM? Or did Verizon take the feature out of their Gingerbread 2.3.4 OTA update?
I'd ask in the GingerVolt/Blitzkrieg threads, but I'm a new user with less than 10 posts and can't post in development forums.
For those of you running Gingerbread on Revolution, do you have "Internet Call Settings" under Settings -> Call Settings?
Wondering if Verizon disabled this, GingerVolt disabled this, or if something went wrong in my setup.

I thought VoLTE was what allowed us to talk on the phone and surf/use data at the same time?? or am I completely nuts?

No, it is similar to the VoIP such as Vonage, Skype, etc. it is just over LTE lol. The talking and surfing is just he result of it having 2 radios, one LTE and one CDMA.

Well color me stupid for thinking otherwise....sheesh. Thanks for clarifying that MT.
I meant a VoIP / SIP stack that GB is supposed to have integrated. Google something like "how to voip gingerbread" to see what I mean.
So, I'm assuming none of you have "Internet call settings" under settings -> call settings?
This is what I'm talking about:

http://www.productiveorganizer.com/...p-internet-calls-on-your-android-gingerbread/
And no one has yet to answer my question... do you have an "Internet Call Settings" section under Settings -> Call Settings, on Gingerbread running on LG Revolution?

I think you will find your answer here.
I Recommend anyone interested in this topic and LTE education to not only read this particular page of the link, but to read all 7 pages. Tells a lot, and for those wondering about battery life... You might find something extremely surprising about 4gLTE signal, speeds, and whatnot, and why your 4GLTE phone uses more battery than a 3g.
One thing I wanted to note, is that it appears your phone (Yes, your LG Revolution, or most 4gLTE phones) signal indicator isn't giving you a 4g signal rating, but a 3g signal and that 4gLTE signal is actually likely lower than you think... Unless you have a new Galaxy Nexus, which actually shows 4g Signal... Read up on this entire article and see what I mean. Very informative.
http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/110711-what-is-lte/6
Not only explains your topic, but also many aspects of LTE service if you manage to get through the pages.
OP, Your post sparked interest in what you were looking for and it seems that it's likely the T-Mobile phones, of all carries, likely has the Internet Calling Settings you are referring to. So, looks like a carrier thing whether or not you have it on your phone.
EDIT: What MT said above in post just before this one, is right on target and basically said within the article (Link)

Surprisingly, the revolution is one of two LTE phones that shows 4g in the status bar... you can watch it under network status or whatever... scary the revo does something right that no other phone at its time did... unless that's the 3G dBm next to what says 4G even in the status...

The thing is, though, is the 4g under Network Status really a 4g signal? I ask because the signal beneath it is the 1x Signal. There is no indication of 3g.
Regardless, I was just noting what I read about the signal when on dual band phones, such as the LG Revo. If I cone across anything that tell about it more, I will post it.

That was my question too, at the end of my statement... if I had a different 4g phone with network status I could compare the signal... from what I remember, though, that was a full 3G area I was going through...

fwiw, on my droid eris running cyanogenmod 7, there was a Internet Call Settings section in the rom. i did try to get it to work with my employer's OCS implementation without success. now, if i could get the sip info for google voice, i bet i could have a working google voice phone (wifi only of course) on my old phone.

Would this VoLTE also be comparable to T-Mobile's Wifi calling? I often work in areas where I get no signal but can get wifi signal. The business manager at my office has T-Mobile and is able to activate "wifi calling" which I'm assuming is just VoIP. I always wished and hoped Verizon would come out with wifi calling too so no matter what I could get/make calls.
Would the VoLTE be like Wi-Fi Calling(VoIP)?

Hey everyone.. I've been combing through forums for the past 5 hours trying to help out a buddy. He picked up an unlocked Verizon XT862 a while back, but we're having a heck of a time getting it on Manitoba's MTS network (partnered with Rogers in Manitoba, Canada). I put on .890, then rooted, safestraped, and tried Steel Droid. It won't find the MTS gsm network. I even have tried screwing around with a 883 radio and modified build.prop. It would be great if I could just run the Bell XT860 firmware as that would probably do it, but I have heard that's impossible. So has Verizon just locked the ever locking crap out of this things GSM or what? Any way I can get voice/sms/data working up here on this thing? I desperately need some help. Thanks!

i dont think verizon locked anything.... Im using a GSM simcard in Lithuania without any problems, try switching your phone Network Mode to Global or GSM/UMTS
Hm.. Okay thanks. I'm just reloading the SBF to get it back to stock. It will find Rogers, but I can never get it to see MTS for some reason. I will keep trying.
So I reloaded the SBF and same issues. When this phone is on Network Mode: GSM/UMTS , it finds Rogers 3G and 2G. If I pick Rogers 3G, I don't get any service. It just has the red No over the signal bars. If I switch it to Network Mode: Global, it gets almost full signal strength, but in *#*#4636#*#* its using the CDMA network. If I change the preferred network type to GSM only, it never finds anything (assuming its only looking for Verizon?). If I try GSM auto (PRL), then it doesn't find anything either. I just don't get why its not finding our MTS 3G network in Network Mode: GSM/UMTS.

Does it use the Rogers network, or have its own? What spectrum does it use? Are you sure the d3 supports its spectrum? I didn't see that info in my good search, although I did see they have a legacy cdma network, can you find that?
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
Endoroid: Thanks for the help. Yeah they used to be purely CDMA (EVDO and 1x), but they decided to partner with Rogers in Manitoba and share the HSPA+ (21Mbps) towers. As taken from their website: Please note that any unlocked device must support 4G North American Frequencies (850Mhz), older GSM devices will not function on our new 4G network. You can find out if your device is 4G compliant by reviewing the phone's settings.
So it looks like they operate on the 850Mhz spectrum, which should be fine for the quad band XT862. I'm not 100% sure if the network search should show up MTS 3G or not. I don't have an official MTS GSM phone to check it with. It does find the following two networls:
CAN Rogers Wireless Inc. 3G (302-720)
CAN Rogers Wireless Inc. 2G (302-720)
I would assume I should see something like: CAN MTS Wireless Inc. 3G (something here), but nothing ever shows up. If I select either of the Roger's networks, nothing ever happens. It just has the red block over the signal bars and it never grabs a signal. Then I randomly get the following popup:
Network Error
No GSM/UMTS networks were found. Would you like to switch to the Global mode?
I've had it pull the 1x legacy MTS CDMA network before. I think that might have been in Global mode.
So confused.
Okay I'm RSD'ing VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01.xml back onto this thing. That should get me back to stock, right? I don't know why it doesn't just work with the stock setup. I really should, shouldn't it? It's unlocked, just load the apns and go? Weird. Does RSD'ing that file reset the radios and everything? I'm not sure what all has been messed with on this thing. I'd like it back to virgin if possible.
Edit: So I reload that file and it boots up asking about international roaming. I agree and it pulls a network. It's MTS 1x CDMA though. I put it to GSM/UMTS and do a network search and the two Rogers networks show up again. If I pick one of them, I instantly get a notification bar error about no service and selected network unable... I have an MTS SIM in this thing and the mts apn entered. So weird.
My buddy said at one point while he was messing with it, he had it find the MTS gsm network. He can't remember what rom or what he had done, but he still couldn't get data working. Only voice/sms. Should I try a different rom? Any suggestions?

I dont think rom will matter. You could try editing the build.prop. Change default network mode from 7 to 3 and verizon global phone from 1 to 0. These are the changes needed to get d3(cdma)roms to work on my xt860(GSM) .
You could add the apns to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml I don't think that will make any difference as it should read it from the sim, but never hurts to try.

That's exactly what I've been trying in regards to the build.prop. Doesn't seem like it ends up doing anything thouhg. Not sure. I will definitely try adding the apns to that other file though. Thanks again!

Hey guys.. I had sifted through most of that thread and attempted the radio and build.prop flash, but I was still having troubles. Maybe I'll give it another go. Thanks!
I'm trying to follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24176930&postcount=176 because I've never put .906 on this thing. I can get the chinese ota to install with rsd fine, but I'm having troubles getting the XT883 OTA.zip to flash. It errors out while installing with safe mode on. Should I be running a different recovery? Also, whenever I try to launch recovery from startup, it just triangle ! errors and dies. Something must be missing. Should I have CMW recovery on this thing instead or any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem.
I have an unlocked DROID 3, which is working perfectly fine for voice and SMS, but no Data.
I've tried flashing the XT883 radio img, which did nothing.
I'm thinking I might just flash the whole XT883 ROM onto it, maybe it'll make a difference?
But, in regards to your case, I do recall that someone mentioned not being able to get a data connection in Canada, en they had to play around with the libmoto_ril.so file.

If you mean a plan where you sign a contract and pay every month, then my family has a plan that is postpaid, we have the value plan( much better than the classic if the classic still exists) and there are no prls needed. Prls are for flashing CDMA phones to a new provider. For example, sprint evo 4g to boost mobile. I have never heard of a prl used on a gsm phone but i could be wrong.

Someone linked a thread that has lots of detail on what they did to get a $30 plan (I think prepaid) ,unlimited 5GB data , text, and 100 min talk. So if u can use WiFi calling I suppose it seems practical. I cant find the link but if I searched long enough I bet I could.

Do I have to keep my connection on global if I get to an area that my LTE drops off to get 3g? I had it set to LTE but got the roaming so I put it on global got 3g then got LTE when I got service back. Is this the normal process? I just got nexus 6 and wasn't sure if this is normal. Running cm12

Set it to Global if your outside of US territory LTE (Recommended) if you're within the US. Always remember to enable Airplane mode or Reboot when making the changes as a precaution.

Global and LTE are exactly the same if you are using a Verizon sim card. Global just allows you to use a GSM sim (typically for overseas travel).
Ok so I noticed if it drops I don't get 3g so is their a way to get 3g. My situation is when I put my phone in my locker it loses 4g and would default to 3g now I just get a ! On the network signal. So did I lose ability to get on 3g. I think I read on here that can happen
Yes surely lost 3g cause if I switch to 3g it gives me the !. So how do I restore 3g

My roaming is off and mine will go between 3G and LTE with no problems. It does that a couple times a day at my work.
I found that on stock ROM it switched 4g to 3g fine. On aosp Roms I need to have roaming data enabled to get 3g and it says I'm on network 0000000.

Yes am on vzw can get 3g without enabling roaming on stock rom, on custom roms at least the ones I've tried roaming needs to be enabled to have phone switch between 4g and 3g. N6 has only two variants us and the rest of the world. The us version has a cdma radio don't know about the other. Also on verizon there is no voice and data at the same time... yet may have it in the future.

Hello,
I tried to search the threads, but i did nit find the information i was looking for, if i did miss this somewhere please point me toward the correct thread and excuse me for this thread.
I was on AOSIP and untill the latest update i was golden, but since the latest update my 4g data transfer speeds are terrible, i litterally see the pictures build as i was the case on old dial-up connections.
I formatted the phone and cleanflashed chroma because i used that before with no problems, but also there is have the slow 4g speeds. i tried resetting my apn settings but to no avail.
I'm on the dutch t-mobile network and thought that the problem is because of the wifi calling.
All data on 4g is slow Streaming music, video, webbrowsing....... the lot.
am i the only one and do i need to RMA my phone or is it somethin known and can somebody help me fix this.
thanks in advance

I formatted the phone and cleanflashed chroma because i used that before with no problems, but also there is have the slow 4g speeds. i tried resetting my apn settings but to no avail.
I'm on the dutch t-mobile network and thought that the problem is because of the wifi calling.
All data on 4g is slow Streaming music, video, webbrowsing....... the lot.
am i the only one and do i need to RMA my phone or is it somethin known and can somebody help me fix this.
thanks in advance

sounds like the issue is with your local provider, not your actual phone. if your local network has many people on it, it will reduce speeds. the more people, the slower speeds will be.

thank you for your quick reply, but i ned to add, i tested it next to someone on the same network at the same locations, and for a few days it is only my phone that is extremely slow.

then check your apn. you can be using an older apn, or it might not bd properly entered. that can cause reduced speeds as well.

have you googled to check if there are any alternative apn setting for your carrier that you can use? i use tmobile in the states, and they have 4 different apns that i can use. in 3 of them, i get slower speeds, on thd one that i use, i get faster speeds.

Mine slow in Houston on Verizon. Don't know if throttled but shouldn't be. APN #s on Google different from what on stock Nexus 6.
Well since the release of 5.1.1, band 12 has been opened up on T-Mobile. Chances are that you are on it now instead of the typical band 4.band 12 is slower but way more reliable and gets through buildings better than 4.
For instance, on 4 I was able to easily get up to 60mbps, but on band 12 I can't break 20. So I would say it's the carrier instead of your device.

thanks for all the tips guys, but no succes, there are no other apn's and if it is related to the 12 band in stead of the 4, the probably don't support that here in the Netherlands yet.
will try to find an older build and hope it is fixed then.
Thank you all for the replies, it was an error at t-mobile they accidentally stopped my 4G subscription, what are the odds it falls together with me flashing a rom.

I'm starting to find Houston is just saturated. My Verizon and T-Mobile have been much slower than in years past. Time to move to Sprint. No one is on there hahahah

I've been noticing slower than usual LTE speeds lately on my Nexus 6. I'd normally get 45+ Mbps but Speedtest app has been showing 15. What fixed it for me was going into the APN settings and changing the APN protocol to include IPv4. For me, without IPv4 would give Spotify issues. I recently flashed the System image which probably changed it back to IPv6 only (which is the default for some reason). As soon as I did this my speed went back up from 15 to 45. Switching the protocol between IPv4 and IPv6 was consistently affecting my LTE speed. Setting it to IPv4/IPv6 works as well.
