[Q] flash LYZ28E on Verizon N6? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Verizon N6 on Tmobile and was wondering if I can flash the TMo ( LYZ28E ) on my phone to get wifi calling on Tmo.
Can somebody please confirm?

Update: I was able to flash LYZ288 TMo build on my Verizon N6 using nexus tool kit without any errors.
I can see Wifi calling option in the settings options now and I need to figure out how to test wifi calling actually works on the phone. Any suggestions?

the WiFi calling will only work if your provider provides support for WiFi calling, and Verizon does not. only tmobile will provide support for WiFi calling, and the fi network.

Provider of the phone or provider of the Sim? I'm using T-Mobile sim

you can put it into airplane mode, then turn on WiFi and try to make a call.

Just tries this but didn't work. It gives me a message that I must turn airplane mode off or connect to wireless network even though I was connected to wifi

ok, on your lockscreen, does it say WiFi calling? and which radio are you using?

It should say T-Mobile wifi calling at the top of your lockscreen like this

I see T-Mobile WiFi calling in under WiFi icon when I pull down my notification menu. Also I see 14R radio in settings. Does this mean WiFi calling won't actually work because it is a Verizon phone?

I'm on tmobile, but aren't using all that's required for WiFi calling, so haven't tried myself. I know a few were having issues with it, so its not just you. but eventually they got it working, so I think you will too.

If its saying wifi calling in your notification menu then it should be working. All nexus 6 no matter where you got it are the same. As long as your on T-Mobile then thats all that matters

Funny T-Mobile tech support won't even answer any of my questions because I brought the Nexus 6 over from Verizon. I can't get Wifi Calling working even though I am on the latest TMobile OTA. They claim they cannot provide support to devices not bought from T-Mobile. I'm currently stuck digging through XDA for a solution to my problem.

T-Mobile users on 5.1...

And your on LTE, what happens when you dial 611? It immediately hangs up every time. On both D and E.
works fine here, i call tmobile when i dial 611. im on rastapop, a 5.1 rom, but im using an older radio since i cant get phone calls while on lte with the newer radios.
Mines working fine..

Do they bump down to HSPA? Or stay on LTE like mine does? It only does it with Enhanced LTE on. Turned off it drops to HSPA and the call goes through. Any other call to any other phone, so far, works fine on LTE.

Weird. This is happening to me too on D.
Now I see what you guys are talking about 611 hanging up... Mines don't exactly hangup but it says Call Ended then switches to Dialing then the call goes through. Never actually hangs up..

With that older radio, do you still get VoLTE?
I'm on D, enhanced LTE on. 611 works. No double texts. This must be area / tower specific?
Anyone else notice LTE not staying selected when choosing network type?
If I choose LTE, the little green radio button shows as selected. All good. Back out to the main settings, then go back into cellular networks and see if it's still selected and nope! Radio button is blank again. Still says LTE, but the button is not selected.
If I go to select 3g or 2g options, button shows as selected, back out, then back in....radio button remains selected.
Does this for me on both of the new radios... 95R & 98R

This has been discussed a little bit in the no LTE in the US with T-Mobile thread but I figured I would make its own thread for this issue and get everyone to speak up.. I have already tried to fix it with T-Mobile and that did not work.. I have already got crystal z attention and she has pmed me on the matter asking for a report and picture.. I feel a lil dumb on the matter and sent her a report(I hope I did it correctly) along with the screenshot (dated and the time it happened to go with the report).. anyone else pls reply if u have encountered the issue.. crystal is watching the forums and the more info she sees the more we can help her... Thank you...

My wifi calling works perfectly and I'm using simple mobile prepaid (They run off T-Mobile). Since I activated wifi calling it's worked everytime with no error message. I tested it with airplane mode on just to be sure for you.

I'm using ATT (have an older nano SIM from a Samsung Alpha so it's all setup right), and enabled WIFI calling in the SIM1 settings. I've tried calling when on WIFI and it seems fine. I'm not exactly sure what to expect from it. Would a good test be to be in a place that has no cellular service, but has a WIFI router , and then try to make a regular call? Is that the bottom line?
Thanks.
I have signal basically in one spot in my house.. anywhere else and my signal is dead... Turn on wifi calling. The vowifi display that replaces volte will flash on/off over a time period and then will pop up with the above message and will turn off wifi calling in the settings..

T-Mobile overlooked 1 small detail to my wifi calling issue and crystal z asked me to look into it.. T-Mobile dropped my e911 address when I swapped phones.. I put the address back in and wifi calling works again...

You have WiFi calling working on AT&T? I don't even see the option for WiFi Calling or VoLTE on my OP3T. The Enhance Settings are non-existent. When I search for WiFi in settings, I see WiFi Calling, and can turn it on, but it never stays on. When I go back into the setting it is off again. Anyone else on ATT get either of these options to work?

4G Data but no voLTE calls defaults 3g

Hello all,
Recently purchased this phone.
As stated in the title I get 4g but when making or receiving a call default to 3g. Immediately back to 4g as soon as call over.
I disabled region check and Enhanced 4G LTE Mode toggle appeared in Mobile Network Settings. I enabled and restarted.
Also went into phone info using *#*#4636#*#* and all flags for voLTE are on there as well.
Carrier: Consumer Cellular (T mobile sim)
Bands 2 and 4
Does anyone know how to resolve ?
"#"#86583#*#*
Have you enabled volte with your carrier?

Maybe this can help you:
Download and install 4G Only Network Mode from Google Play Store.
Modify advanced network convigoration by opening the secret settings:
Click on Open Secret Settings
Under Set Preffered Network Type, choose LTE ONLY
This will automatically force your phone to exclusively connect to the 4G LTE only network.

I called them, they did something on their end so now calls start in 3g but go the 'H" after a few seconds.
Probably still not volte but an improvement.
My understanding is that volte calls have an "HD" for this phone

Yes, you're right. When volte is enabled you should see an HD icon next to your signal strength icon. Just like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After your carrier enables volte you should reboot if you haven't already. Volte is used only with 4G, so after the reboot you should get the HD icon when you're connected on 4G. To test it out (or if you are still on 3G/H) do the following:
Press *#*#86583#*#* on dialer until carrier check is disabled. If it says enabled, just type it in again.
Then press *#*#4636#*#* on dialer to start the hidden menu. Go to the first tab, I believe it's called phone information, and scroll down where its says preferred network type. Note down the default value (it should restore on reboot and flight mode, but just in case) and select LTE (or 4G if it's called that) only. You will lose signal for a moment, and then you should be back running in 4G. Obviously, you need to be on a location with good 4G coverage.
Then, just make a call. If it gets through without dropping the data connection (4G symbol stays on), you're on volte. Go back to *#*#4636#*#* to restore your preferred network type, and enjoy
I tried everything posted so far but no luck.
I have a nexus 5x on with an identical sim on the same network/towers that shows me lte over the bars.
This phone only shows me 4G ..... is the phone capable of displaying lte ?
When selecting preferred network type lte only. It will drop the call.
LTE is 4G. Each phone uses different symbols, but it's the same. The fact that it drops the call probably means that volte is not enabled... weird. Have you contacted your carrier about it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-volte-t-mobile-yes-actually-t3869677
I just figured it out. Just follow the guide.
Thanks for the post Daha3ker ..... I will see if anyone else tries it before giving it a go.
I am quite sure at this point its a network issue as it is also happening on my Nexus 5x (LTE then H during call)
Confirmed it is a network issue. They are sending me ATT sims to try.
The tech support wasn't the brightest bulb, she kept trying to convince me I need to be on wifi to place an LTE call.
After some passive aggressive attempts to convince me she finally told me T-mobile does not support volte with them.
VoLTE depends of the carrier, it has to be enabled on his network equipments.
Some carriers enable it per phone line (they have to enable it for your line)
Moreover, some carriers restrict VoLTE for specific devices. Here in France, Orange enable VoLTE only for Apple and Samsung devices...

What if you just use a Samsung or Apple device to enable it?
Here in Greece, Cosmote also enables VoLTE only for specific devices, Samsung, Apple and Huawei. The Mi A2 isn't one of them. But I managed to... side-enable it. I just inserted my sim card in a Huawei device and sent the text to enable it. They enabled it in my sim, and of course it still works after I moved the sim back to the A2

Orange say that it is available and automatically enabled on Apple devices, and on Samsung devices which were purchased in Orange stores. So I think there is something special in phone rom.
Problem resolved. Was a carrier issue.
Required an ATT sim and add a new Access Point
* Note if using Consumer Cellular you will need the ATT sim for Volte.
Tmobile does not support Volte on CC as relayed by tech.
Thanks to all who posted.

Wifi calling and Volte

Hi. So I was having trouble with calls, signal drops, very annoying whooshing noises and so on. When I contacted the carrier they said let's turn VOLTE THEN WIFI CALLING. my wife and I have the p20 pro CLT-LO4 and neither of our phones have an option for volte or wifi calling. Contacted carrier(Koodo) I'm in canada. They said well it's suppose to be there reset you phone and check again. No dice then press *#*#4935#*#* and it does nothing. They say it's enabled on there end and don't have a solution... I called Huawei and they took my serial number and model and told me that it's the carrier 100%....
try this.
Open phone settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile network > both VoLTE calls and Wi-Fi calling settings should be there.
if you can't find, it is because the carrier disabled it in the rom. Try to unlock bootloader, root and flash an international rom to get it back.
When I talked to the carrier they assured that it was unlocked.
If you have a link on how to preform the tasks you said ide definately give it a try
Thank you
One question tho is it possible to brick the phone? Reason I'm asking is my wife's phone is 8 months old but I just switched from my s9 to this one 2 days ago so i can tech bring it back and get a refund but the problem is there isn't any other phones offered besides the p30 pro that compare and I would have to pay $690 down plus 20 a month for 24 months where as p20pro was $0 down and 15 a month.
If the carrier supports it, then you should have the option in settings. In my case, when I bought the phone only one of the two carriers that I have in each sim card was supporting WiFi calling. Now that both support it, I have it in the settings. The problem that I have found with WiFi calling though is that if you start a phone call through WiFi and you move to a place with bad reception, then the call is dropping. Also, if you are on a WiFi call and you go to a place where the wifi has no reception whatsoever, then again the call drops, instead of switching to normal call. In other words, whatever the way you make the call, you have to finish it. There is no switching during the call; this became really frustrating, so I now switched it to mobile network preferred

Alot of misinformation about this on the net.
Regardless of what your carrier says this is in fact a carrier issue.
If you simply swap sim cards to another carrier that DOES support these features on all phones with no restrictions then it will show up in the settings.

hi i tried searching in google for the volte enable in my mobile device Huawei P20 Pro , my other sim says it is volte ready however the other sim volte radio button cant be seen i tried switching sims but everytime i switch sim the volte button will transfer leaving me a sim card tray with no volte does this mean that it is the carrier needs to enable volte? others say that i need to wait for update on my mobile device
My device has a model CLT-L29 Global version for Huawei P20 Pro EMUI version is 10.0.0 Android 10 and it says for this version there is no update for EMUI 11 so does this mean i can not use volte anymore or do i need to contact carrier for the volte to be enabled?

Wi-Fi Calling in India?

Jio and Airtel seems to be enabling Wi-Fi calling in India. On the list of supported handsets Android One handsets like Mi A1, A2 and A3 are missing.
Is this hardware issue (Xiaomi is just not having the right hardware)? Or a software issue (wi-fi calling not supported by Android One software)? Or it's just that Jio and Airtel has not started support for these devices.
WiFi calling is supported on the Mi A2. But even if those carriers don't support it on the Mi A2 (some carriers support features on a limited range of devices) you can probably still use it.
First you need to find which devices are supported. Then find a friend who has one of those devices, take out your sim, put it in his/her phone, and enable the service (usually through text?).
When you put the sim back to your Mi A2 the service will still be enabled. Dial *#*#869434#*#* on your dialer to disable wifi calling check, then open Phone, go to settings, Calling accounts, select your operator, and you should get a Wi-Fi Calling Option.

Hello, sorry for the late reply.
I'm not in India, I just followed the same instructions and it worked for me.
The only way to disable vowifi/wifi calling check is by dialing *#*#869434#*#*. You don't get another screen after doing this, just a quick notification in the bottom of the screen indicating that wifi calling check is disabled. You can miss it if you don't know where to look. Dialing the number again will enable the check. Dialing a third time will disable it again, and so on.
*#*#4636#*#* just gets you into the advanced phone options menu. Do this, dial *#*#4636#*#* and when the menu appears go to the top option, should be phone options. Then scroll down and look at the checkbox next to "wifi calling". It should be like my screen here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Text is in Greek, sorry about that, but the option is the fourth from the top. It should be greyed out, but enabled (slider to the right).
If it's not like that, dial *#*#869434#*#* one more time and check again.
Update: I was able to enable VoWiFi using the *#*#869434#*#* code after the Android 10 update for Jio.
But when on VoWiFi call, my voice does not seem to reach the other end, so I have disabled it now.
Wish there was a way to fix it.

Well that sounds good, maybe something to do with enabling from Operators end.
Would recommend that you check after some days or a month or so to see if it is working better
BTW how did you enable WiFi calling, using the process suggested in the thread or it directly appeared after Android 10 update?

Using the process mentioned.
BTW I also think since my voice was not going, it might be because of the asymmetric Upload and Download speeds of most service providers.
Not sure if there is a minimum speed requirements over WiFi.

Facing the same issue. I don't think it has anything to do with asymmetric internet bandwidth. The issue is on the Jio side, which they need to fix. As I understand, Mi A2 WiFi calling works fine on Airtel network.

Yes, I heard the same thing and switched networks from Jio to Airtel. If a provider does not want to support my phone, I cannot support the provider. WiFi calling does work on Airtel, most of the times, sometimes it gets stuck (voice not clear even with perfect WiFi network), I simply reboot the phone and it works again.
