[Q] Unknown network? - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

So I enabled advanced calling today, and ever since then the text that normally says "Verizon Wireless" in the notification shade and on the lockscreen has disappeared. Also, if I go into "Status" under "About phone" in the settings, it says "Unknown" under network. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, when Advanced Calling is turned on, the Network says "Unknown". I believe this is because the Network setting under "About Phone" is looking for a Cell Network.

How did you get the weather on your lock screen? I miss that feature from the last ROM on my S3.

Oddly, I have this problem too. However, my wifes turbo, who took the OTA when it became generally available for everyone does NOT have this problem. I am considering doing a FZX reload back to 21.21.15, and then taking the GA OTA to see if it fixes the problem. As a side-note, in addition to this problem, I also have a "install deferred" notification on the system update screen even though I am at 21.44.8.

I've noticed that turning off advanced calling feature fixes the problem immediately, so it is definitely related to that feature.

Currently that is the only solution. I spoke to a few reps at Motorola and they stated that the team is aware of it, and that its being looked into. One of the reps stated the next update should include a fix,

APN Settings ghosted/grayed?

I'm trying to change my APN settings on my phone and the settings are ghosted/grayed out and will not allow me to change anything. Also new APN will not save.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Btw... I'm on stock ROM rooted with Franco kernel and T-Mobile is my carrier. Previous phone was a never 5x with same SIM. No problems.
Having the same problem here. T-Mobile support is asking me to change APN settings to troubleshoot network speed, but I'm unable to do so.

Yeah, the default APNs are all grayed out but you can add APN for sure, I did it and it sticks too. see attachment.
When I inserted SIM card, the default APNis the one on top GPRS, I found data speed is slow. So I added one which is US LTE one.

Thanks Lancez. I also tried adding a new one. I tapped save in the menu, but it did not get added to the list. I wonder if it's a bug in the particular build we're on. I'm currently running ONEPLUS A3000_28_170208.

I'm on the latest 4.0.3 build, should be same one as yours.
You can try to restore default APN from drop down menu then add new APN

I had also tried to restore default, but it didn't help.
I did just manage to get it to work. I added a new APN with the name "test" and was able to save. I was then able to go in and edit it to match the settings t-mobile had suggested to me.
Unfortunately the new settings did not help with my speed issue.
Thanks again for the help Lancez.

There's another thing, after you edited your APN, go to phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#* > phone info > from the first drop down menu choose LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) > back out of settings > reboot, you should be able to get much better data speed.
And from SIM & network settings, there's Prederred network type, don't select anything in there, leave them all blank. otherwise above settings will be reverted back.
What APN settings did T-mo CS told you? care to share with us? it'll save us sometime over the phone.
Oh, I'd appreciate If you can click on the thanks button below my name

Argh, I am a dummy. I tried scrolling down, but not up. Thanks again.
I changed the setting, but my speed is still about the same.
T-mobile is now telling me that they are making improvements in my area that should resolve this in the future. Though don't know if they were just saying that to get rid of me. I've gone from what used to be 50+Mbps in November to between 1 and 5 Mbps now.

I also have two different phones on the account. Which are both getting similar speed results. So seems likely it's got to either be an account or network issue. Though I figured it couldn't hurt to play along and try the updated APN settings to further rule it out.

Does the full screen icon exist on the Note 8 for Youtube??

As in the s8 plus, while watching youtube an icon will appear to let u fit the video to the entire screen. Now on my note 8 this icon is no longer present.
When you play a youtube video a round "crop to fit" button pops up which allows it to play fullscreen.

Had the same issue. Updated the Software in settings and now its working. You'll see that the Software update includes enhancements. Perhaps Samsung forgot to include that feature the first time around.

It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.
For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.

Unlocked US Note 8 - No Samsung Messaging "enhanced messaging"?

My wife's Sprint branded Note 8 has a rich communications option which, according to Reddit, is the latest iteration of Enhanced Messaging found on the Note 5 and S6. However, on the unlocked Note 8 I bought myself thru Samsung direct, the stock Messaging app has absolutely no options for Enhanced Messaging or Rich Communications. I don't want to use Google Messaging because it's missing features that the stock Messaging app has, such as the live message (if that is what it's called). Is there anything I can do to have my cake and eat it too or am I going to be stuck with google mesaging?
Unlocked phones won't have specific carrier options installed. You need Sprint's CSC to get those features.

Another option to try is use Shortcut Master or the Phone INFO app & launch 467 (IMS settings) to see if you can enable those features.

You should be able to enable VoLTE & RCS (advanced messaging) through the IMS settings I talked about above but I don't think you can get WIFI calling without TMO CSC.

Okso using phone info app it says that my active csc is spr which I'm assuming is sprint... If i have that csc then I should have the rich communications option in the Samsung messaging app but I don't.
Wow! The strangest thing just happened! I was trying to launch that 467 or whatever it was and it wasn't working so I gave up. Put my phone in charge a couple hours ago and come back to some text messages. One of these messages is from 9197 and says messenger's enhanced features have been enabled. (confirmation ID: ######)
Lets hope it works now!
Edit; nope. Still no option anywhere. I even force closed messages, and rebooted the device. Upon reboot I got the same message again from 9197 with a new confirmation number. This is odd.

VOLTE(Calling plus) Working on Sprint Note 8.

So, I downloaded n app called shortcut master lite cuz I member here on XDA recommended it to fix LTE issues. Don't know of his name but I will edit with his name for credit. But I turned advanced LTE on(u must search for it).Did not notice any difference in LTE. Tried it initially but did not have VOLTE while making outgoing call. But when a call comes in and I answer LTE stays connected. So I went back into the shortcut app and looked up LTE Functionality. Found a setting in there which says VOLTE Test UI then in that setting I turned on the first 2 options which then have me VOLTE both on incoming and outgoing calls. Not sure if it breaks anything but I have mine off cuz not sure if it breaks anything.

so for better instructions to ppl,

3)Launch it and enable Enhanced LTE Services.
4)Next go to com.test.LTEfunctionality and launch LTEFunctionalityTest
5)Go to VoLTE Test UI and Enable first 2 settings to on
6)Extra precaution, restart phone
In no way i'm taking credit for finding this out. just made the steps more simple. Thanks OP for posting this. Please use at your own discretion. I don't know if this will screw up anything but i'm getting both voice and data at same time.

Has anyone found the Verizon call filter app

I have a Verizon S10 that I bought from Samsung directly. I would like to get the Verizon Call filter app that was just released but everything that I read says the app should be preloaded on the phone. It's not on mine but I have the rest of the Verizon bloatware. Does anyone have the call filter yet? Perhaps someone that bought their phone directly from Verizon could respond.
Thanks.

Maybe get someone to install APK extractor and see if they can send you the app. I extracted the Visual Voicemail app ftom my S9 and installed it on the S10.
Thanks. I will have to look for the APK
It was originally named "Caller ID" before this update. It was one of the Verizon bloat that I had disabled because you had to pay for it originally. If you search the Play Store for " Call Filter", it should be one of the first ones. you will need to re-enable it before you update.

It was originally named "Caller ID" before this update. It was one of the Verizon bloat that I had disabled because you had to pay for it originally. If you search the Play Store for " Call Filter", it should be one of the first ones. you will need to re-enable it before you update.

Thank you. I had Caller Name ID disabled. I re-enabled it and it immediately updated to "Call Filter".

No, you don't have the pay for the very basic features (spam detection, spam filter, report numbers), but for the rest of the features, you do.
Here is how to enable the free features (multiple ways, taken from the Verizon site):
Android
Open the Call Filter app.
Open the menu and tap Account.
Tap the Subscription status section.
Tap See other options.
Tap Yes.
Tap OK.
You've successfully enrolled in the free version of Call Filter.
Online in My Verizon
Go to the Products & Apps page in My Verizon.
Tap or click Get Products.
Select Call Filter Free in the dropdown under Choose your product.
Tap or click Get it Now.
If you have multiple lines on your account, select the ones you want to subscribe to the free version of Call Filter.
Tap or click Purchase.
You've successfully enrolled in the free version of Call Filter through My Verizon.
My Verizon App
Open the My Verizon app
Tap the menu in the top left.
Tap Account.
Tap Add-Ons.
Tap Essentials.
Find Call Filter and tap Learn More.
If you have multiple lines on your account, select the ones you want to subscribe to the free version of Call Filter.
Tap Confirm.
You've successfully enrolled in the free version of Call Filter in the My Verizon App.
And this is Verizon's page with the Call Filter information: https://www.verizonwireless.com/solutions-and-services/call-filter/
no wonder i'm not able to enable it. i'm on prepaid.
i go to their term and conditions.
"Call Filter is currently available to postpaid wireless customers only"
