I have seen news reports for several other Sprint Phones getting their updates for Wifi Calling. I know it was supposed to originally be in our last update but didn't come through. Has anyone heard anymore about it?
First I've heard about it. I don't get much for signal so this would be great for in my house.

Rumors were we were going to get it in the last update because other phones got it in the same update but so far no word on when we will get it or if we will get it.

Hi
I'm planning to get the Z3C soon and have a few questions that I'm hoping some users with the device using tmobile could help me out with.
1. Does the SMH (wifi tethering) work on the phone? My current phone doesn't support it for some reason, and they say it's because my phone is unlocked and not from tmobile. It has the option, but just never starts.
2. How is the LTE speed? Faster/slower than what you had before? Or about the same.
3. How is the reception on the phone? I read about how the phone is displaying less bars even though the signal strength is good so I'm not worried about that.
4. Does wifi-calling work? I assuming not cause it's not from Tmobile, but I thought I would ask anyways since no one addressed it yet.
That's all I could think of that isn't already answered in one of the other threads.

Not AFAIK, if you find out how to get it to work please let me know!

Getting pretty decent sppeds. The icon shows as 4G, but it is LTE speeds.

No, WiFi calling will not work on any non T-Mobile branded phones. The WiFi Calling aspect is baked into t-mobiles ROMs. Non one has been able to get this to work, on any phone that is not T-Mobile branded, AFAIK. However, Hangouts and SIP calling works quite well.
Since the Z3 (non-compact) appears to be headed to TMO, will that ROM be able to be loaded onto the Z3 Compact to enable Wi-Fi calling? (I am assuming that the Z3 will be able to use Wi-Fi calling, since I think all smart phones sold by TMO now support it)
Still keeping my fingers crossed that the C is available from TMO also!

Possible ... but, I have no idea. It seems plausible ... but there are differences between the Z3 and Z3C that may not make it possible. Keep your fingers crossed, as I would like that as well.
thanks guys for the prompt replies :good:

I have one here in MA but I'm getting low signal strength. What are you guys getting for dbm/asu?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but does XDA even have carrier specific sections? I tried Googling AT&T forums and XDA and pulled up nothing. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough but I thought I would ask here because this is somewhat specifically about the AT&T N6.
SO I'm loving my N6. Big upgrade from my old Sammy S3. I've totally gotten use to using the 6 inch screen and when I tried to use my Step-son's S3 the other day it seemed too small.
My only complaint is signal strength inside of various buildings I work in. I did get some dropped calls on my S3 but for the most part it was acceptable and I normally just send texts anyway and those normally always got threw.
I'm finding this is not so much the case on the N6 though. I noticed that I have a lot of time with no signal and texts don't even get out unless I go near a window.
I know AT&T had talked about Wi-Fi calling and I'm just wondering does the N6 support this? As the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus does, I assume the N6 does too. Has anyone seen any realistic ETA's on when AT&T might roll this out? I know they had thought maybe 2015 but I'm wondering if it's going to be sooner than later and I thought maybe someone who keeps up on AT&T carrier news or works for them maybe had heard rumblings.
I'm almost thinking about just getting a SIM for my S3 and putting a line on it just so I have a cell I can use in my various offices where my S3 had worked but now my N6 doesn't.
I have 7 different buildings I have an office in and I'm pretty much dead in about half of them! I'm always on the run so land-lines are worthless to me! Almost thinking about buying a Cisco VOIP portable phone to use over wireless.
Thanks!
The Nexus 6 doesn't support Wifi calling right now, but it is coming in a future update. Supposedly this update is coming in Q1, rumor is Feb, perhaps this is in the rumored 5.1 update that is supposed to arrive around the same time.
The info about wifi calling is mostly from T-Mobile though, so what that means for AT&T, unsure. I don't believe they offer it at all yet, just a "soon" sort of thing. Even once they offer it, I am unsure what that would mean for the Nexus 6 and AT&T. For example I don't think the iPhone 6's wifi calling works on Sprint, or well at least the last time I talked to a co-worker she said it didn't.
Also rumors are the same update will bring VoLTE which is a big deal to everyone except those on Sprint.

Anyone else experiencing issues with VoLTE ("Enhanced LTE") on their phone with TMo? I had VoLTE working perfect from the LMY47D and E radios, and now that I have the LMY47M update, it worked fine for the first few days but now suddenly as of yesterday it completely stopped and all calls are switching to HSPA.

The lower level CSR's usually never have useful info. It takes some higher tech support to acknowledge a problem unless it's widespread enough to make it a big report. But idk maybe that's just my experience with them...

that is true. thats why when i call tmo with a real issue, i ask to speak with teck support right away.
I had same issue factory reset brought it back
So my problem is that while being connected to WiFi, my phone cannot receive any incoming calls. I have flashed several Roms and radios to see if that would fix the problem, as well as playing with the APN settings. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just lucky? I am on T-Mobile so I'm hoping the WiFi calling makes this a moot point, but I'd still like to fix this for the time being. Same issue for sending or getting MMS, but textra has a work around for that. Thanks for your time and input.

I did find that earlier but the information that was stated by the op running chroma is not working for me, so I was wondering if there were more details out there.

Turn off enhanced LTE in Settings>more>cellular networks>carrier settings.
Apparently this issue is STILL present and it dates back to April and now it effects Project Fi users as well. How do Sprint customers deal with this, 4 MONTH missing calls and texts ?
I'm on my second nexus and its still an issue, seems like there is no way to fix this. I would like to know how many users are affected....

The semi-effective Sprint fix has been switching to 3g only while connected to WiFi.

Thanks. On Fi for a couple of days, and it's locked on Sprint at home. At least I know what to expect and keep an eye out for.
The issue actually dated back to December 2014 lol.....
It might have gotten better on Project Fi at least....last time I tested I received all 5 calls. I wonder when Sprint implemented that semi fix?

It wasn't implemented by Sprint, rather resourceful users through trial and error.
I had surely thought this was a Sprint specific issue, as we have been plagued by issues involving their network. I'm referring to the duplicate texting problems that were finally resolved in 5.1.1, so for once, I'm surprised that I can't #blameSprint.

Yes that is what we are doing... For a really long time.... With no fix is site. I've contacted Sprint Google and Motorola, they all tell me to exchange the device for another. I'm now on my second nexus 6 with the lte + WiFi issue.

I find it a bit ridiculous they dragged it this far without a fix. How is it even possible that 3 gaint companies can't fix it for like 8-9 month

The main issue on sprint seems to be that the phone has to switch from LTE to 3g to ring the phone, and for some reason it's having a problem doing that while on WIFI. Therefore being were all forced to run our phones in 3g mode. The phone has no problem ringing on WIFI.
your project fi should work fine on sprint.. When someone calls you on project Fi your phone uses LTE for calls ( or wifi ). No need for your phone to switch back and forth..
The easy fix for sprint on this is to just enable WIFI calling on the Nexus..

It hasnt worked on Project Fi, its the same issue as on Sprint. It did get better.....perhaps they are tweaking it. Lately its been working fine, so maybe they fixed it. Fi has different issue now....no band 12 support on M and people that run L build with B12 say they miss calls on Tmobile because Fi doesnt support VoLTE on B12
I can't see anything different between the unlocked RP2 and the ATT RP2... since the Unlocked version works on the ATT network, would it cause issues to use the updated MR1 image for 9.0 on this phone?

I have WiFi calling but not video.
I'm on the Global firmware, no issues. Wifi calling is provisioned, but after a lengthy chat with AT&T, was told that the Razer Phone 2 is not compatible on their network for wifi calling. Yet when going to their site and sorting by phones capable of wifi calling, the phone is listed. I may or may not have yelled at them and told them to take it off the list.

Yea, I don't understand them. Most of the carriers just get in their own way so much.
