Hi all...
i just bought a brand new HTC Incredible S...
I am to tally new to use an Android phone & on this forum so please get me absorbed.
I just want to know why cant i do native 3G video calls from this highly priced gadget...? is there any solution for this ( Except Fring,Skype...Etc.)
When this facility is available on any other samsung & nokia phones which are 1/5 th priced than this...
Also when I went in roaming my phone didnt work but i pull out the same SIM & inserted in another cheap phone it does work normal.
Thanx
Android does not support native 3g videocalling.
For your roaming problem, I think it is disabled.
Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks and check Data roaming

I'm going to Germany for a month and do not want to accrue any voice/data charges while I'm there. I plan to use wifi only. What's the best way to disable voice/data, but still use wifi? I also want to make sure that my apps do not try to establish a data connection outside of wifi. One idea I have is to keep the phone in "airplane" mode. But I'm concerned that if I reboot my phone it will kick itself out of airplane mode and start roaming.
Any suggestions?
change the APN settings to point to a non-exsistant server, cell interent wont work but wifi can be on and you can still make/receive calls and SMS if need be
I just got back from Europe, this worked wonders for me.
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Wireless and Network Settings
3. Go to Mobile Networks
4. Uncheck the Data Roaming Option.
This will prevent your phone from using data while you are roaming.
@dcplaya I am also running on Cin Bell. Works great!
Or get a German SIM, that way you'll have data. If anybody calls you on your US number let them leave a voice mail on Google voice

I have a Nexus One in the UK and have so far taken it to the US, Switzerland, France, NZ and HK. The above definitely works and should be all you need to do. I just had a look at my online balance and can confirm the total on my data charges is £0.00. Note that you can leave this setting disabled the whole time, even when you're in your own country. The phone distinguishes between roaming and non-roaming and acts accordingly.

awesome thx - i came to post this exact question and bam, first thread.
hi guys
there is a problem need u help
I brought a m110s I9k's Kroean version
It said that it support to work in edge network
but whatever any roms ,there is only G!
i want to konw why?!!!!
and how to slove it
THX!
that sounds like an area reception problem
G (GPRS) and 2G (EDGE) they both run on the international quad band 850/900/1900/2100
I'm a little confused, you have 3g working but you'd rather have edge? 3g is the faster network and possibly the stronger signal, so your phone would prefer to connect to that network. If you are using an older firmware you can play around with the secret codes found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721111&highlight=Secret+codes
best code for you to check out would probably be *#*#4636#*#* however Samsung removed or broke these codes 1 or 2 firmware updates ago. Also, you can look into the wireless and network settings and go to the bottom and turn off 3g. Please note that the phone and/or some carriers might not allow data over 2g, I know my carrier doesn't and this phone is designed to be optimized for SKT.
Please let me know if I'm confused about your question and i'll try to rephrase If I can better help you.

thanks 4 u answer,but my operator——China Mobile is support another 3G，TD-SCDMA，so i can‘t use wcdma。and CM is supply edge，so i don’t why，maybe samsung block it。
I was confused because I thought you were connected to "G" (I thought you saw a "G" on your notification bar). Have you tried to disable "3G", this might be able to force you onto an edge network, I don't think it'll work, but it's worth a try if the code I mentioned doesn't work.
Go to settings > wireless & network > 3G data call settings > select "no"

i want to know dose m110s support EDGE in China?
i see that in #*4636#,the network type is GPRS,how to change in EDGE?
even if you managed to change the settings to EDGE, it wont work
if GPRS is the fastest service provided by the cell phone network
last time i was visiting Cuba, their fastest network wsa only GPRS

CM supply edge
As far as I know, it was blocked, and not without support。
The problem is how to get his support, the same as moto xt701。
maybe it as same as xt701,like you said.
change the radio band maybe will slove the problem ,take it from the euro band or hk band

I didn't see this post from you, you can access settings I can't so we are probably on different FW versions DONT UPDATE:
Try these codes to see if you can update the band

Doesn't china use different gsm networks?
I am having problems with internet all together. I have the Anycall Korean Samsung Galaxy S shw-m110s but I live in the United States and use AT&T but cannot seem to get the internet to work. I entered the correct APN settings but cannot even get an EDGE signal. Anyone have any ideas?
Can any one help to transplant baseband from i9000 to m110s?
Because EDGE is so important for China Mobile. It is hard to afford WCDMA. Thanks!

Is your pay as you go sim activated?
Can you borrow someone's working sim so you can verify/eliminate things?

good idea
My wife 3G sim works on my tab, going back to the shop as it is the sim car the problem, not the tab
thanks again
Glad it was that and not the precious tab.
Bad Karma
I have finally a Data only 3G simcard, it works on a phone and on a demo galaxy tab in orange shop
but can't get it to work on my tab
can still get internet with the voice and 3G of my wife!!
do I need to flash an orange image ???
No, you need to change a setting.
Google "apn setting orange france broadband"
Go to settings, wireless networks, mobile networks, access point names,
You will have to add the settings you got from google: menu, add new access point.
Fill in the values. Menu, save, reboot.
When the tab starts, go to that apn and select it. Wait a few, then go back one screen, and select your sim card carrier.
You could also go to the demo tab and copy the settings into your tab, or from your wifes phone.
Found out that
IF the wifi is ON then the 3G is OFF
IF the wifi is OFF then the 3G is ON
so working now, end of game
Oops. Good find. Enjoy.
I do not know if you know but in Play (PL) can use packet data on other networks, but I think our CM11 is not working. I was once at a point to ask why the phone. still uses the T-Mobile network and the guy told me it's good and that I turn on roaming I will be able to use a data packet with my wife on the nexus 4 running on our CM11 but probably not. I went to settings> mobile networks> roaming data and does not work; / I will add to the on stocku worked without a problem

Roaming is network dependant, it's not just a feature.
Since it's a paid feature it is often blocked at carrier level
Hello
I just got this phone and set it up. Its a Global version 13.0.4 SKDMIXM.
I am on TMoblie USA - the phone is working great on LTE and 5G .
I am not able to see the Network preference under wifi calling where is can select Prefered Wifi Calling.
It appears that its running on default Prefered Cellular - because I can only see the VoLTE symbol on top.
Can someone help me in fixing this configuration to select Prefered Wifi Calling ? TIA

Hello, I'm using a 11T Pro Dual SIM India model with India SIM in Slot 1 and TMO SIM in Slot 2.
I have not found the specific setting to make Wifi Calling "Preferred" but, my phone does indicate Vo WiFi even when I have Wifi connected and Mobile Data turned on too once Wifi Calling is enabled as below.
Apparently the Voice Over WiFi Settings (at least here on my phone) only show up for SIM 1, does not show for SIM 2.
Attached are sample screenshots where the Settings are under SIM 1.
Steps to get there-
Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Click on SIM 1
All the way down, last Setting is "Wi-Fi Calls" to enable "Make calls using Wi-Fi".
Hope this helps.

Operators can disable this menu if they want to lock you onto Wifi preferred or cellular preferred. Does this only happen with this phone or does it also happen with the SIM in another Android phone?

There's a possibility of TMO-US not supporting WiFi calling on the Xiaomi 11T (Global), perhaps.
Although, I have been using various Unlocked phones (Nokia & Samsung) on TMO-US for the past few years & have practically never had issues with WiFi calling on any. Shall have to test it once I'm back. Won't be for some time.
Is your phone on the latest firmware? Try updating it to check if there's a new update available
which hopefully can solve your issue.
Couple of options to test, in case you have not already tested them-
a) leave WiFi Calling Enabled then disable the VoLTE feature and check if WiFi calling works?
b) disable Mobile Data, WiFi Calling enabled with WiFi connected and check if WiFi Calling works.
c) some users have had to ensure their E911 address is correctly in place on the TMO account too.

I had a working One Plus 6 - so I know TMO has VoWifi - I use it a lot due to poor reception at home .
The current workaround to force VoWIFI is
Turn On Airplane MOde
Turn ON WiFi only
then it works in VOWIFI with out any issues
I know I am missing a menu Item that can toggle this setting . I would prefer having that setting but its not a breaker for now . The phone works with all the Network features of TMO , LTE , 4G , 5G etc . No visual voicemail thats all.
Thanks

Thanks - this code is what got me to where I am now . I think from other articles - the mbn config may require some tweaking - but it refuses to give me access to it when i use *#*#663368378#*#*
Same access issue here too.
Wish you luck.
Pinging to see if there is a soln. in future.
