[Q] double layered question about rooting and usage - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am having a rough time finding the right phone. First I bought a oneplus one used it on Tmobile and had trouble with coverage AND wifi call wouldnt work because no Tmoble phone.
Then I got the Moto X and loved it, but on Verizon and no way to root. And back it goes.......
Now I am playing with the thought getting a Nexus 6.
Question 1 : I understand I can root that and it comes unlocked from T-mobile right? ( traveling a lot and need a phone I can slap a sim in while I am traveling).
Question 2. : can I after I rooted it still use the wifi call feature?
Thanks in advance
K

Yes to both of your questions. Though #2 will only be available here in the USA I think...

Once rooted wifi calling should still work. It has on every other T-Mobile device, at least that I know of. You can probably flash custom ROMs and kernels while keeping it as well, at least in theory.
That said, the Nexus 6 doesn't have wifi calling yet. It is supposed to come early 2015 in an OTA, but as of today there is no wifi calling feature on the Nexus 6. So if wifi calling as an extremely important factor, the Nexus 6 may not be for you just yet.

ATT nexus one & kernels/ROMs

will the existing nexus one kernels/roms work with the att nexus one or is the difference in radio band a show stopper? Just ordered the att nexus one, and currently have a rooted Droid - not sure i could go back to an unrooted & unmod'ed phone
I'm assuming that by ATT you mean unlocked. Regardless, the Nexus One does not have the necessary hardware to use AT&T's 3G. Aside from this, they are compatible. It is the same phone.
No he means the verison thats comming out to be compatible with AT&T's 3G network
It doesn't seem as though Google released a different set of kernel sources for the AT&T Nexus One, so I would assume that all current ROMs are compatible with the new hardware revision.
I just ordered one, by the way.

Backup your phone, and flash 5.0.4.1. If it works, great! If not? Restore your backup.
Only one way to find out! I get my ATT n1 tomorrow as well. It's going to make my current n1 sad.

Yes, it does now. It's a different model.
So the question remains - are the roms/procedures the same?
i got my att n1 today and the first thing i did was flashed cm 5.0.5 test 2 on it and all i can say its behaving just like the t-mobile one.
im loving the ability to use rogers 3g network since i hate using wifi.

Sad news T-mobile users: No T-mobile wifi calling on the Nexus 4

that's a (small) shame.. I was able to use Wifi Calling once when out of the country (cell radio turned off)... saved me a ton of $$ when I needed to make a few important phone calls.
oh wait.. let me over-react... OMG that's it I will NEVER buy this phone... just kidding.
If there was ever such a thing as a good carrier app, this would be it. Shame, but not unexpected.
Really wish tmobile would find a way to get it on the market so all tmobile phones could download/update it.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what setting up Google voice with your phone number? Is that possible? Just curious since I was looking forward to this feature too. (Never used wifi calling)
Not a surprise since Wi-Fi calling only works on GB ROMs, it doesn't works on ICS/JB ROMs.

It's working on ICS roms. I'm reasonably certain that as soon as Tmo releases a JB rom with this in it, we'll see it ported to other devices/roms. I'm definitely hoping we see one for this device at some point as well. Won't stop me from getting this phone, but I'm hoping eventually we get the goods.
this is a deal breaker for me, as i am frequently in large buildings without reception.
there is no way for anyone besides tmo to add wifi calling. custom roms will not fill this gap. google voice kind of by not with the carrier number.

Not entirely true. Its built into the SGS 3 T-Mobile JellyBean leaks but it is not a simple task at all to get into other ROMs like it was in GB... it is now built into settings with a bunch of libs and such. Not many devs look at it as something worth spending days on to figure it out and code it into a custom ROM. Unfortunately of course.

Same! It's great for those who need it, but I am not in that group.
It just means this device is going to be stock on T-mobile so likely they will get updates just as fast as the Play Store version (it may be the same firmware minus Google Wallet).
It is a shame... when I went to China I could still talk to people at home for free which was amazing. And it helps in large buildings.
This is still entirely possible, without using anything developed by T-Mobile. It's not ideal for everyone, but I will be posting a comprehensive guide one of these days. I've been promising people for months, and once mid-terms are over, I'll be able to deliver.
Well using a sip account over WiFi will accomplish the same thing
The way I see it, this is actually a good thing. If they were to support WiFi calling on the Nex4, then it would need to go through them to get updates. If we got them from Google, then WiFi calling would break, and **** storm of complaints would hit TMobile support lines. This sucks, but i havent used it in over a year and to me direct updates > WiFi calling.
Agreed that it's only a small shame.
I'm not the one for long phone chats, anyway.
Here is the solution:
1. Port # to Google Voice
2. Setup a voip.ms account with a DID, setup failovers for no answer to forward to TMo # after 3 rings, unreachable, forward to TMo # after 3 rings.
3. Install csipsimple and register SIP account/voip.ms
4. Install Google Voice app and select "Use GV to make all calls"
When making a call, it prompts if you want to use voip.ms or cellular (Tmo). Incoming calls get routed to Google Voice, route to voip.ms, if not answered after 3 rings/14 seconds it forwards to TMo #. I get my TMo prepaid card for $28.50 a month (callingmart.com), I have the $30/month TMo plan (Unlimited 4G, unlimited text and 100min). I use the 100min up first then resort to voip calling the rest of the month if needed. voip.ms DID is .99 cents per month, and each minute on voip.ms is 1cent per minute, compared to 10 cent per minute after 100min on TMo. So I basically pay $30 per month after tax and after voip.ms fee's, insane.

Using SIP is not the same thing as WiFi calling. I think most people here know how to setup a VOIP account but T-mobile's version was fully integrated into their account/phone #.

[Q] Tmobile Note 3 rom on AT&T Note 3

I know this seems like an unusual request but i was wondering if it were possible to use odin to install the T-Mobile Note 3 rom on or AT&T Note 3? Only reason I'm asking is because I work allot out of my office at work and there's very little cellphone reception if any in my office I was curious if it would be possible to swap roms because of T-Mobiles WiFi calling and texting feature built into their roms.
Any information would help pls.
Edit:
I've found on this forum a thread that another member was successful in using Odin to flash a T-mobile rom... here is his thread can a respected member on here please chime in?

No, as we have a locked boot loader. Trying will most likely brick your phone. WIFI calling doesn't work on AT&T as it is not supported by AT&T. That is why you don't see it on any ROMS for AT&T. Would be nice.

I have an ATT Note 3 with T MO software. It is fairly straightforward. Was easy to install. Once I installed the TMO os on the phone it WORKED BETTER.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625946
Again, I cannot wifi call but adding the tmo carrier option via the Modificatinator helped a lot and it FIXED THE GPS issue. It's obvious the GPS issue is ATT related. Adding the additional TMO was a lil pain until I figured it out it was cake.

Hi,
I am planning on installing "TweakedN3 2.0 UVUBMI7 4.3 SM-N900T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ... for AT&T!" this weekend. Can you tell me how and what what you did in the Modificatinator to include TMO ?
Thanks!
So I loaded the Tweaked rom on my N3 and it is pretty impressive. The only thing that doesnt work is WIFI. ANNOYING. It hangs at "enabling wifi" Unsure why. Seems to do this with all the non Aroma TMO roms except Elite S5 port.
You must use the wifi fix, umm its around, I do not have it on me, PM me to remind me, I will upload it when I get home. :good:
Hello - I have the same situation as those in this thread. Got a deal on an AT&T Note 3 unlocked, but am on T-Mobile's network. I'm using the Alliance T-Mobile ROM for the AT&T Note 3 and everything is great except wifi calling doesn't work. Always get a ER041 DNS error or hangs when trying to switch wifi calling settings. Since I'm on T-Mobile's network, shouldn't I be able to use wifi calling? This shouldn't be a radio issue but rather a software one I would think.
To add to this, the following post mentions this feature is at the kernel level and wifi calling will not work. Not sure if this can be confirmed or there is truly a fix.
This wifi 'fix' that was mentioned; does it exist and do you or anyone have the link? TIA

Wifi calls working?
I was wondering if you ever got the wifi calls and texts to work on your SM-N900A? If so, what did you have to do? If I can't get it working I might just go back to my S3, only because I work at ExxonMobil and all the buildings out here are "blast proof" causing zero cell signal.

You can't get tmobile wifi calling to work, but you can get a Google voice number then installed Hangout dial to work as wifi calling, I have same experience since I never got signal in my office. So I use google voice all the time, well i need tell others my phone numbers though. it is free to call within US, and Canada, other place i think there is charge.
Cool, I'll do that. Thanks.

[Q] How do you enable T-Mobile WiFi Calling on Nexus 6?

I purchased my Nexus 6 on the Google Play Store and wanted to use the T-Mobile Wifi Calling feature. I know it works with my plan & SIM card because it had been plugged into a iPhone 6 before but now that's in the Nexus 6, I can't find any option to select the feature or does it just work automatically with no indicators?
Not sure this is an option with Nexus devices. I know coming from the Note line it was ROM dependent.. Wasn't supported by most unless it was based off the stock Samsung touchwiz ROM, so it's not inherent in android, but baked in by manufacturers/carriers

It will be an option in the future (according to Tmobile) but it's not active yet.

Wifi Calling was one of my favorite features of the Galaxy S3, I am glad this is coming to the N6 sometime next year. T-Mobile isn't the best in my area so this will come in handy big time.
And...of course you already can do wi fi calling with hangouts/google voice.
Really?
I bought this phone even though I don't have t-mobile signal literally in an area the size of a dime on a map. I can walk a block and get 4g, nothing at my house, so fine wifi calling, it has that, t-mobile has that. UH big NO. Godamnit T-mobile for misleading me. I wish some developer could squeeze this out overnight, cause I can't use my phone from home until then. Oh well, *shoots self in foot.

They said I have to have 1 bar for it to work, I don't have that, so I asked about their broadband cell station, they said THAT uses wifi calling to work, how freekin stupid.
Honestly, I'm still happy to not have Verizon, but at least they worked here. Seems like false advertising, no where did they say it won't work with wifi calling, in fact there were ads all over the site for that very thing. EERRR. *Grinding Teeth, I have to go like 2 blocks to get signal. No big deal, I mean internet and messaging are redundant, if anyone knows of a way to forward my text messages to my e-mail I would appreciate that. Thank you., pooton, 5 generations removed.

took forever to set up an account with them, because I had to drive to receive texts! I wish they could fix this, really, how long does it take. I'm sure I could do it in under 20 hours by myself, if I had the knowledge and open source.

IMS is still the current standard, and is still open source, regardless if that particular project was abandoned. The basis of IMS is still listed in that project.
UMA is the legacy standard. I keep an old Blackberry Curve because of the ability for seemless handoffs between UMA and cellular signals.

Misleading yes, lying probably. Essentially all T-Mobile branded phones are WiFi capable, this is not T-Mobile branded, is unlocked and even the price are identical to the play store.
I am with you they should have chosen their words more carefully
I am annoyed that they managed to put their visual voice and other standard software package but they couldn't get WIFI Calling in...

Verizon Advanced Calling 1.0 for Nexus 6

Greetings from the Bay Area. I stuck my Verizon SIM in my T-Mobile Nexus 6 and I couldn't figure out how to tell if HD Voice was working (since it was too early to call my wife), though when I made a call it switched to 1x in the notification bar. That's a bad sign. I'll do some more testing today and report back. I was especially curious about this as I too I find HD Voice to be awesome on my iPhone 6.
-Collin-
if its anything like tmobiles hd calling, which works on the n6 btw, both phones have to have it before it works. if only one of the 2 phones in the conversation has it, it wont work.
VZW user here. I can confirm that all of the advanced features are not working at this time. In fact the phone is not even capable of simultaneous voice and data.
This is true of several new phones on Verizon including the Droid Turbo, which of course is the carrier locked 5.2 inch version of the Nexus 6. In all likelyhood the Nexus 6 will not see VoLTE or simultaneous voice and data unless Verizon finds it in their hearts to get an update to us N6 users that will turn those things on for us.
I knew all this going in but i hold out hope that Verizon will carry the phone, which would mean an update will eventually hit.
However, should they not carry it I will be ok with the phone as is.

This is true of several new phones on Verizon including the Droid Turbo, which of course is the carrier locked 5.2 inch version of the Nexus 6. In all likelyhood the Nexus 6 will not see VoLTE or simultaneous voice and data unless Verizon finds it in their hearts to get an update to us N6 users that will turn those things on for us.
I knew all this going in but i hold out hope that Verizon will carry the phone, which would mean an update will eventually hit.
However, should they not carry it I will be ok with the phone as is.

the phone is very capable of phone service and data at the same time. and the phone is compatible to volte. on all other providers besides verizon, it can get voice and data at the same time(verizon is cdma and doesnt support it). that said, verizons volte is just starting to make it out. when you get volte in your area, you will be able to make calls and get data at the same time.
Not true, I have volte on my area and used successfully in the iPhone 6 plus but it does not work on my nexus 6, even after going in and adding advanced calling on my line.

odd, ive talked to a few using their lte lines to connect calls over volte.
Until Verizon issues an update for the Nexus 6, the feature won't work, period.
I'm assuming Google will push out an update that enables it if you are using a verizon SIM, but who knows.
Just wait. If it's a feature you need, you'll have to wait until Verizon officially supports the device.

Verizon phones have had data and voice at the same time in the past, but some newer android phones (Nexus 6, Moto X 2014, G3) don't have it, yet. VoLTE is a bit different, but also limited to certain devices.
This article might help a little:

It it software based e.g. is there an .apk on the droid turbo that allows for it to work? or is it on the core android [system] level that needs to be baked in at the time of building the rom? Obviously where I am going with this is if it's something installed, on the droid turbo for example, can we just lift off those files off and work to get it work in AOSP land?
No there isn't. The Turbo doesn't support it yet. Unfortunately you're going to have to be patient.

How do you enable HD calling on T-Mobile Nexus 6? I just switched to T-Mobile from Verizon so I'm a T-Mobile noob LOL

I have not tested this, but usually "ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1" in build.prop does the trick.
Coming from Beans I would Like to Know When they begin building a rom will they be able to port this in from something like the new Droid that has this feature working. I Know the Alliance team has the N6

you cant "enable" it. its automatically enabled if its in your area. problem is that both caller and receiver need to have this for it to work.

Gotcha ... Thanks for responding. I've got one coworker that's on T-Mobile as well and their device must have it as well because when I talk to them the call is so loud and clear I have to lower the volume! lol

lol, its the same thing when im talking with my father :angel:
If the N6 supports volte and we are using it before vzw sales the device directly, is Google able to help us activate this feature? Bc i dont see vzw giving an update to phones that are unrecognized and showing as non vzw devices.
Sooo.... I am wondering if volte support will ever work on those of us who chose not to wait til vzw releases their version of the nexus 6?
May be the price we had to pay to get a non tramp stamped nexus without any carrier customizations and bloat.....

I'm just happy my Nexus 6 hasnt been violated by Verizon. They never got their dirty little hands on it. It's so nice having a phone with No bloatware.
Verizon will eventually carry the Nexus 6 and will eventually send out the Software update which enables VoLTE. I'm not sure if we will get that update? But we shall see what happens
