sprint nexus 6 data and phone calls?? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im just wandering if anyone nows if the sprint version can use data while in a phone call or if it can be made to be fixed to

As long as you have LTE or Wi-Fi then you should have data with voice. I have caller ID!

If I use the phone I can't use data

Yup.. Just confirming what these guys have told you, no data + calls. I do miss that feature I had on my Verizon G3. Not the end of the world but it just seems like all phones should be capable of this these days.

Visual voicemail t mobile prepaid

Alright guys. Ran a search and didn't see topic yet (not for T-Mobile anyhow) so I figured I would start one.
I use T-Mobile prepaid. I've not seen a prepaid phone be able to utilize the visual voicemail app on T-Mobile monthly 4g...until now.
I just installed it on my nexus 4 and it works.
And yes... I know Google voice does as well. I use voice but not everyone calls my Google voice number, so I've been wanting to get visual voicemail straight from T-Mobile for a while. I am glad this works now and I hope it helps some of you out.

They don't need to call your Google voice number to leave a message there. You just need to have your phone forward to g voice.

T-Mobile prepaid doesn't allow conditional forwarding so that doesn't work.

I've heard that if you call them and have them turn off your voicemail then Google voice gets all calls....

Ya that's crazy! I just downloaded the visual voice-mail app and it actually worked!! This is the first phone that ever let me use my $30 prepaid plan and have vvm... I am thinking that they have no way to tell if you are a prepaid customer so the registration just goes through as if you were not on prepaid..? Anyways that's cool that I don't have to dial out anymore...:good:

Well, that works only if people call your g voice number only. If anyone calls your cell number they just dont get an option to leave a VM at all. In my case a good number of people still call my cell number so that isnt really a good option.

Well maybe I read that info wrong then. Any way I downloaded it too and VisualVoicemail is synced. You are talking about the T-Mobile app right? I'm on the 30 dollar prepaid too.

Yes. Works on the thirty dollar plan. Presumably works on other prepaid plans as well.

People with the $30 plan actually give that number out? I ported to GV and don't even know my $30 plan number! I let Google Voice handle everything, including message transcription. Called 611 and had them disable my T-Mo voicemail.
Loads better than a carrier branded VVM.

I agree but I had trouble porting my sprint number to Google voice and gave up. I ended up porting my sprint number to T-Mobile so I wouldn't lose it and now can't port my T-Mobile number(old sprint #) to GV. Any ideas? Excuse the off topic please just frustrated...

What is this visual voicemail you speak of? (I'm switching to T-mobile soon) TIA
YES! I've been waiting for others to post about this. I've noticed that mine has been working for about two weeks. I almost cried when I realized it started working. I hope it's not just some flaw in the VVM app update that's allowing us onto it. But one thing I did notice is that MetroPCS offers VVM on their plans of equal value. Maybe T-Mobile is following suit. Btw, I'm on the $60 T-Mobile Monthly4G plan.

The t mobile visual voicemail app. Basically it shows you who your voicemail is from
And allows you to pick and choose which voicemail you want to listen to rather than dialing out and having to listen to all of them.

Can't get the visual voicemail app to work, won't establish a connection to the server. Any suggestions?

I also use the T-Mobile VVM app since I'm on prepaid, works just fine, but I don't see why it can't be integrated into the stock phone app.
Can someone on a T-Mobile-based MVNO like StraightTalk or Solavei try the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app and see if it works?

T-mobiles WiFi calling alternatives for the Nexus 4

OK guys, we already have a thread that is a work in progress trying to port TMOBILES WiFi calling to our device. Now I would like to see what other people have done to compensate for not having the T-Mobile app. What are the best 3rd party apps that work good for you and can you both make and receive calls using them?
Feel free to post any alternative to the T-mobile wifi calling app that has worked for you.

A dirty workaround is using google talk video chat and choosing handset speaker. It sucks, doesn't use the actual phone number, but does function if you're desperate.
Just tried talkatone, it worked but there is like a three second delay when talking.. It's weird. Call quality ok. How do I get good quality Internet calls?

Which one did you get? I'm in a similar boat trying to find a cheap phone just for use when I'm at home.
Look for 2 threads started by acegolfer, these will help you the most. One is called free voip calling w/iLBC codec and the other is something along the lines of Piaf with amazon ec2 or ew2. Not necessarily these easiest ways but from what I can tell they are probably some of the best. The first thread I mentioned also has a comparison of the most popular ways. Hope this helps some.
edit: there is also the Vonage app that has ok quality but you can only make calls and not receive them.

The Obi app in the google store, and then google voice.
Free incoming and outgoing wifi calls.
All you need is your username and password. Then just log on and your all set.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking on eBay but I don't want to pay $80-$100 for something like this. Looks like I can pick up a G2 cheap.

Vonage. Can't get incoming calls unless you subscribe, but free wifi/3g calling is awesome. The codec they use is HD (speex I believe) and is the best ever.
If someone calls you, just call them right back on the Vonage app. It's the best. Avoid talkatone/grooveip and the other "VOIP" apps. They are echo/delay city.
Vonage is free. Doesn't require you to be a Vonage subscriber. Just install it, use voice/text confirmation of your number, enroll and you're done.

no more simultaneous voice + LTE with Kit Kat

I updated to the latest OTA and I now don't have simultaneous voice + LTE. I know that the new tri band phones with Sprint Spark lost this feature but I didn't think the OTA would break an existing feature. Anyone else experience this??
First off, wrong section. Secondly, there is no way for that to be possible. When I was using the Sense 5.5 ports, the LTE signal would disappear on call, but the devs confirmed it was still working. We never found out why it happened, but data & voice on LTE will always work hence why everyone SVDO was dropped.

I can confirm that when on LTE and you get a call the data indicator shows as if your data dropped but data still works. Just noticed it myself yesterday as a matter of fact.

Data and voice at same times works fine on cm11.
I believe it worked for me on stock you just need to enable DDTM.
in dialler do ##3242#, edit, then enter your msl
I think its under evdo. Look for DDTM and set to enable.

The EVO LTE & S3 generation of phones were the only SVDO phones. S4 until now CAN'T do voice over 3g. You'll only get voice/data on WiFi and/or LTE!
I have noticed that since the update every-time I end a call I get the no data message and it takes 20-30 seconds for it to come back, rather annoying actually.

[Q] Sprint Nexus 6 and Data and Voice at same time

All,
on my Note 3 I can talk and use data at the same time. I thought I had read somewhere that the Nexus 6 would do the same. But it seems that it will not.
I am wrong?
Thanks Dave
I am on AT&T and I have used DAT and a phone call at the same time. This has more to do with your carrier and not the actual device.

The Nexus 6 will not do simultaneous voice and data on Sprint or Verizon. (Although on Verizon it should be possible in some areas when VoLTE starts rolling out, not 100% sure with Sprint.)
Same with sprint they are rolling out volte sometime 2015+

That's why T-Mobile is winning more customers and Sprint is sending techs to your house to help you set up your phone. Priorities. ???
