[TROUBLESHOOTING] [VZW ONLY] Data Issues AOSP/CM

With all the CM/AOSP clones having similar issues with Data connectivity (lack of handoff, Roaming, improper network names) I thought a thread with the experiences would be a great tool for the Dev's to refer to to help solve this issue.
VERIZON ONLY PLEASE!!!!!
Please use the following format:
ROM:
Kernel:
Radio:
Roaming indicator: Y/N
1X/3G/LTE Handoff Working: Y/N
Comments: Any steps you have tried to get it working (The verizon APN update.zip floating around, ERI fix, ECT)
LTE Discovery Screenshot
I'll update as I can with confirmed working ROM's/Solutions.

I'm stock 5.0.1on Verizon I haven't rooted or unlocked because of these problemsthese problems seems as if at times phone freezes up has 3G or Sometimes 4G but still no Internet connection then finally after sometimes 5 minutes it connects up and it's fine it's not network because my wife's Droid 4 gets 4G kind of embracing. Also seems slow to hook up but decrypting may solve that. Are these the problems you are talking about or is my phone jacked?

This happens on my T-Mobile version. Sorry. I know the OP only asked for Verizon people.

Where is this verizon apn update.zip you speak of? The biggest issue I'm having is not being able to get data through my network extender. I have tried stock, aosp, cm12, all roms have the same issue. Pretty sure its an apn issue.

Not sure what problem is but my droid maxx was same way you have to turn on WiFi to get data but voice does work.

That is the issue.. well part of it.. so I answered my own question.

I have a Moto Droid Maxx, and am able to do calls and data at the same time....Can the new nexus 6 on VZW not do this?

Obviously your other phones get data? I'm just asking because the newest network extenders are no longer capable of data connectivity...

Well I wasn't talking to you, but I was just pointing out that some (I may have been mistaken on the "newest") of Verizon's network extender's aren't capable of data connections (such as the network extender for business I had)

I believe all the regular extenders are all the same I know someone who just got one and it's the same as mine. I have had several android phones some work some don't. The Note 4 does Nexus doesn't. Makes no difference you need wifi to make them work anyway so you have data

Anyone have the verizon apn update.zip?

Thanks for the reply, think I remember seeing that thread before just thought maybe there was something else now.

Guys... Whoever is around and on verizon.... Try adding this to your build.prop and report back.. fixed my issues....
ro.telephony.get_imsi_from_sim=true
This does fix most issues with roaming and data on Verizon.. Confirmed

The only thing I see not working is NFC... It don't even turns on so might be something in the device tree. I have never used that feature and may never.
Sent from my LG-VS980

Installed this last night and it feels very snappy, can confirm that nfc doesn't turn on. I do get correct carrier info (Verizon Wireless instead of Verizon)
Edit: no GPS either, showing 0/0 satellites on GPS toolbox

Yeah, GPS Status says no GPS device found on device. Rom runs real nice aside from that.

Not sure if it's fully aosp based or still using cm parts, but it's probably like cm based roms, there's an old commit that needs to be cherry picked forward to get GPS kinda working. Though it's still flaky even with that commit. I have the commits listed on post 2 of that PAC thread, if that's easier than searching JPCs thread for the past where he listed them.
It's the commit for checking if messages are supported or not. Even with that though, GPS will cut in and out in most roms.

Also USB tethering does not work, it says USB not connected. WiFi tethering works though!
As far as the "no GPS found" issue, a rom we had a while back did not have the actual GPS hardware file, after we pulled it from another rom it worked. I forgot where that file is located (/system/etc maybe?), could that be one of the problems?
Edit: /system/lib/ had no libgps, maybe that's where it is supposed to be?

System/lib/lib.utils.so and system/lib/hw/gps.msm8974.so might be gps.generic.so as well.

Fustercluck doesn't work for this ROM, from what I can tell. It hangs on the boot animation.before that everything looked good, but I didn't try GPS or NFC like others reported

This would need reported in the kernel thread so he can see why there is a compatibility issue.

Can an unlocked Note 8 (SM-N950U1) be used on Verizon's network?

Hi,
I wll be purchasing a new phone soon and am looking for a phone that has a great chance to be rooted/able and compatable with the Verizon network.
Can an unlocked Note 8 (SM-N950U1) be used on Verizon's network?
Thanks for your input?

Yes it can. I'm using the unlocked version on the Verizon network right now.

+1, no issues.

But, no HD calling or wi-fi calling?

I am using one as well. But none of the features/services are working. I can't get any VZW apps, like visual Vmail. I don't even get vmail notifications. No HD voice or video. No NFL app live video. Nothing HAS works except voice & data.
I have been on with VZW everyday. They can't figure the s**t out. They blame Sammy and Sammy blames them. Very frustrating!!!!

Yes I got the unlocked one and I have hd calling and the phone provisioned I'm on Verizon

I clicked on self provision and restarted phone everything works

Even gave me a toggle after

No and yes, in that order.
You'll have the model with the Snapdragon SoC and that has a locked bootloader. You might one day get root (if you're lucky) but you'll probably never get TWRP compatibility or any custom ROMs.
But on the bright side, it will work on the Verizon network, so that's nice.

How did you self provision?

i am trying to use it on verizion, where is self provision? from which menu? search on settings , unable to locate it.

It can be found by searching in Shortcut Master (light) app. I can still find it, but cannot run as from BL version 3 (not sure if it was that one) many shortcuts no longer work (including all IMS-related shortcuts).
I have N950U1 on FW version N950U1UEU5CRJ2.

doesn't work on Oreo nougat only

Do these features work on the unlocked Note8 on Verizon?

- WiFi Calling
- HD Calling
- Video Calling
- VoLTE
I figure since people have had the phone for a few days now, maybe there is a definitive answer to be had. I contacted Verizon and they said that WiFi calling and HD calling will not work and that an unlocked phone will remove these features from my account. But, Verizon did say that VoLTE and Video calling will work. I contacted Samsung support and they said that all 4 features will work but that I would need to contact Verizon to enable the features on their end. Seems like a runaround.
Is there anyone with the unlocked variant and Verizon that can confirm what does and doesn't work? Thanks!

I do not have any of those working. I will try calling Verizon. I really want VoLTE/HD calling to work.

Yes it works. I had called someone in Verizon and he went through line by line, updated something called mpas or empass,and then I had to restart my phone to get it active. Finally worked after talking to 3 different people. Ask to speak to a level 2 tech if the first guy doesn't get it

Thanks, MACHEK. Which of the features are you referring to? All of them? Or, specific ones? Thanks.

Yeah I had my phone on airplane mode just to check and only had Wi-Fi. Received texts, calls etc no problem. HD calling works too. I tried to reach out to my contact at Verizon for a real good description of what he checked but he hasn't replied yet. It took him a good 15 minutes but eventually he got it. He said he went line by line to double check each setting.

Thanks again, MACHEK. If your contact gets back to you can you please reply here with the info so I and others know what to ask for when calling Verizon to get these features working on our unlocked phones?
Mr. Toad - Since you're calling tomorrow, if you get any specifics can you please post it as well?
Thanks!

Yes, if you do hear back, please post with what was necessary to turn on, I'm so glad that wifi calling works, that was the last piece which I was worried about from reading other threads.

Just some screenshots of it (on a side note it's annoying my theme isn't dark on that one setting, seems odd looking)

Looks like they also changed your statusbar. Verizon's 4G letters are like that.

Wow sorry guys I just realized you guys are talking about the non snapdragon version? I missed that part in the original post, but to be honest, a few people even with snapdragon are having this problem of getting it set up so I wouldn't give it up.

I'm taking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant so please update when you have the details, thanks again!

Yeah, I think we're all probably talking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant. So, MACHEK, I think you're info is still good, correct?

Software Update 12-14-17

Hey all,
Sprint variant. Just had an update pushed to the phone. Now ends in QK3... Any idea if this might address network performance issues? I was having initial connection delays when loading web/internet apps... Have been using a dns changer as a workaround that uses a local VPN to use openDNS as it may have been a DNS issue that was borked in the previous patch. Thanks!

I saw the update too, it showed up on mine around 9am EST. I've yet to do it, though, since I don't know what's included.

Hi all. Have any of you try flashing the N950U1 2BQK1 firmware on Sprint Note 8 and get VoLTE or WiFi calling? Back in August Sprint start pushing the VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling update on the Galaxy S8, not sure if Sprint did change their CSC so you can used the U1 firmware and get Full VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling like T-MOBILE or Verizon. I have an AT&T Note 8 and Verizon Note on Verizon service running on the new updated N950U1 2BQK1 firmware. I currently don't have Sprint service now but planning to get 1 line's

Just want to find before I get a line, I prefer Samsung only firmware instead of carrier bloatware firmware. I like spam feature on stock Samsung unlock firmware, plus better battery life and performance.
