Probably not since it doesn't come with dual antennas like my old s4 which the first of its kind had then they added sprint spark and it all went to **** no dual antennas no surf and talk

Surf the net while on the phone.

There are similar threads for other phones.
However since I could do this on my recently traded in gsIII Im making a specific one for LG Flex.
Sprint, rooted.
When I make a call my net is killed. I cant surf for information while on a call.
Is there a work around? Hack? App?
Help much appreciated.
What carrier are you on. I'm on t-mobile and have no issues doing this. My son streams Xbox live through my hot spot while I'm on phone calls.

Im on Sprint but I dont think its carrier based. Sprint gsIII there was no problem. Could use phone and stream.
Its only been since I started using my LG Flex.
Id like to see AT&T and Verizon flex owners chime in. But like I said I have no issue with internet conn. While on the phone. "OK google" even responds when I'm on the phone. Found that out by accident. Lmao
D950 (AT&T) Here, and everything works just fine for me.

I'm telling you for a fact that it is sprint and not the flex. I am on Sprint and cannot use data and talk on the phone at the same time. The reason is this: the flex only has 1 radio, where as the gs3 had 2 radios (1 for data and 1 for voice). The reason that t-mobile and att users can use data while on the phone is because they have voice over lte working and sprint does not.

Actually I believe it's because sprint has 3 radios. If you have the new phones that support Sprint Spark then you can't talk and surf (unless on wifi only). Lg g flex is one of those phones. Gs3 is not
That makes sense that its phone based on not carrier based.
One radio means its in use for call therefore no surfing. (Unless wifi - a separate radio).
The gs3 had two radios so one would work for the call and one would work to surf.
Bottom line - sucks. Sometimes you need to find stuff while youre on the phone.
'Hang up, ill call you back after i search...'
90's tech.
Got a Rogers d950g, and AFAIK Rogers doesn't use VoLTE, and surfing while on call is working just fine.

[Q] Nexus 6 on Verizon

I got my Nexus 6 from Google Play yesterday YA! i put my SIM in it and bingo 4G and service on Verizon! the one problem is I have no Data when on a phone call, I feel like I just went back a few years in time I'm reading i have to have advanced dialing 1.0 turned on, I was able to find this setting on my Verizon account and turned it on but 24 hours latter still no data when on a call
Thoughts?
Next question. Since I bought this phone outright from Google (ouch on my checking account) I have the freedom to move to any company. Sprint is out of the question since there service in Denver area is real bad. Dose AT&T or T-Mobile support Data and calling at the same time if Verizon dose not work for this?
Advanced calling 1.0 is not yet supported for the nexus 6 even if you turn it on in your account. Have to wait for vzw to enable it for this phone.

Once VoLTE is enabled you can talk and use data at the same time. on Verizon.

The Nexus 6 does not support Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon (yet). On AT&T and T-Mobile, I have confirmed that it works fine on both. Bummer, huh? But many of the new Android phones do not support this on Verizon (again...yet). Patience is not my greatest virtue, so I'm back to using my iPhone 6 on Verizon and my Nexus 6 on T-Mobile for that reason
Cheers,

Should i try AT&T first?
For Colorado I'd stick with VZW and ATT as they are the two reliable outside the Metro areas. Yeah, I'd try ATT before TMO.

Does anyone know if a specific app or firmware will be needed to be pushed to the phones to get their advanced calling feature, data and voice at the same time? Or, do they flip a switch and it will work already on the unlocked nexus 6? I am concerned that if I buy a job Verizon nexus 6 that it will one day not have a chance of going to me.

A software update will be required in order for VoLTE calling to work. No saying if/when that will happen.

I switched to T-Mobile from ATT and I couldn't be happier. Before that I had Verizon and so far I have no regrets my service is 7x faster then ATT LTE where I live. I tested my wife's S5 on LTE (ATT) it had 5mbs down and 1mbs up. My Nexus 6 on T-Mobile had 40down and 20up. Plus I can still use data while calling and its unlimited. These speeds aren't perfect, but I live in the middle of nowhere.
This should all be resolved once Vzw gets the N6 in stock on the 26th.

Talk and surf?

Does the Galaxy Note 5 (specifically Sprint) have talk and surf?

Do you mean the capability of talking on the phone and being able to surf the web on the phone's browser or even talk on the phone while you are tethering the phone as a modem for a computer or laptop????
If that's what you mean the answer is a big fat NO... Had a long conversation with Sprint about this today. If there is no third party fix for this. My phone will probably be going back and they will have to eat the restocking fee themselves...

That is ridiculous! I used it a lot (tethering and talking at the same time). I can't believe they stepped back in this! Do you happen to know if this is only with Sprint or it is the same with other carriers?

Oh i agree. Same with me. Used it everyday. Think the newer notes dont have dual antennas or something like that. Baffling.
This is definitely a Sprint thing although when I had the S3 it had the capability to do both at the same time on Sprint.

You are right. The S3 was the last Samsung phone to support talk and surf under 3G service.
It's called: SVDO. I'm not so sure about Sprint but with Verizon, when you have LTE/4G, you can talk and surf.

I had a Note 3 in sprint which had 2 antennas and it could Data+Voice . Note 5 has only 1 antenna so it can't (atleast in Sprint Version). Also I think Sprint doesn't support VoLTE atm.
yes in another thread I started it has been confirmed that you can talk and surf on the Note 5 through other carriers....Sprint NO though Crazy to think I was talking and surfing on my busted up Note 2 just a few days ago, but can no longer do it on a brand new flagship phone. Just seems super backwards.
sprint will be adding talk and surf in the future. whi knows when.. probably at least a year.
Samsung Note 5 on Verizon no longer supports talk and surf. Very frustrating. I thought I was upgrading from my Galaxy S4, besides the large screen, the Note 5 is a step back. Several other annoyances: you are no longer able to paste a telephone number into the dialer. The work around I found is if you press a number on the keypad first then you can paste the number in...you just have to make sure to erase whatever key you hit on the dialer. And there is no longer an option to quick dial a person more than one number (ie: cell and home). If you look at previous Samsung widgets they give you more than one option, now it is only showing one.
I also noticed not only does this kill talking on the phone and browsing the web but it can effect other things too. Everyday I find more and more limitations to this phone.
-Since I use texting a lot for my business, I started using free messaging app like Kik and others for personal and social texting....That way there are no mix ups between personal and business text... lol no accidental text. So While I am talking on the phone I can not receive any of those messages until after I end the phone call. Since those apps are internet connection based.
So does this mean Email and paypal notifications will do the same? Meaning I cant get an important email or paypal payment notification until I hang up with the client? This would suck big time because I normally keep my clients on the phone to verify their payment has been received....

Well other people are now reporting that it is not just a Sprint thing so you may want to get some clarity before you switch.... Not even just talking and surfing or tethering and talking, but the fact that I cant get any web based messages, notification,or payment alerts while I am on the phone seems like there is no reason to have an all in one phone. Might as well just have 2 devices...
This is terrible. Who else reported this? I doubt it's a GSM user

Looks like Post #11 in this thread is saying Verizon is no longer doing it. I have also seen others post this as well. I wish there was something that could be done about it. This really hinders my business use, social life, and entertainment vs my Note 2. Just an overall huge step backwards for me in every direction. I am just leery of buying a used Note 2 because I cant find any new old stock of them... Otherwise this thing would be back at Sprint ASAP.
All GSM note 5 are identical. There is no reason i could download, talk, hotspot and browse all at the same time using either LTE or a combination of LTE and wifi and other GSM note 5 can't. Isn't verizon also CDMA though? We don't have anymore CDMA carriers in Canada but I remember verizon being now or at some point CDMA

On my verizon note 5, I have to activate "advanced calling" in the settings. Only drawback is it sucks more battery juice on standby First time I activated it I had to reboot phone. I read the reason they had to change it is because 2 separate radios were used previously for voice and data. Now its a single radio.

Wow .. So it is possible with only one radio? I was under the impression that tome couriers opted for dual radios allowing talk and surf and Sprint did not. This is somewhat hopeful maybe there can be an app or hack to get or activate the "advanced calling" setting for Sprint. Would love to hear or see more info on this.... There is so much conflicting info on this.

Anyone on n950u1 phone and metropcs?

I bought the 950u1(but didn't receive it yet) because of the fear of samsung closing the ability to cross flash u and u1 variants and I know metropcs(tmk) has u1 firmware.
Will the unlocked u1 variant have VOLTE and wifi calling out of the hole rather then flashing the u1(tmk) firmware?
Sent from my BTV-W09 using Tapatalk
Hey bro. I know nothing about Metro but my info may (or may not ha) help you.....is it gsm or cdma? I just bought N950U1 to use with a Straight Talk byop AT&T sim. I have been with straight talk for about 8 years and have been an android root junkie since I got my note 3....then the note 4....and now this beast note 8. I would like to think Im fairly knowledgable about the Android system but I have also been trying to sort through all the info about U vs U1 firmware and carrier flashing stuff but I cant quite figure out where to make my first move, or if I should, flash carrier firmware. I would like to try Oreo beta but I damn sure don't want to brick a phone I have zero warranty on. Hard for me to get over the idea of having to buy another $1000 dollar phone outright. From what I understand, carriers like straight talk, metro, family mobile, etc. Is that the sims are basically like a carrier unlocked phone. The service provider pays the big carrier (also uses their branding) to use the towers. They call it piggy backing. So the service is exactly as if you would be paying straight to the big carrier but without the contract and unnecessary BS. From what I have read, all the firmware is exactly the same multi CSC. So when you flash firmware and then put your sim in it actually does it's own thing through carrier. I couldn't get the January security patch update to show until I added "fota" to my apn and then rebooted and like magic it was there. I pay 60$ a month for unlimited data and have used 41 GB as of today since January 18 with not even a slight throttle. Because I have had straight talk so long I wouldn't know what to look for as far as ATT extra csc features. But if you are willing to find out and let me know I would be happy to check my phone for them. I do have download booster in settings. I only know because with my note 4 sometimes i would and sometimes i wouldn't depending on what rom i was on. Butni don't see volte. Maybe all this ramble was a little helpful. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Im probably gonna copy most of this post and start a thread or at least ask in the other threads for some more info.

It's gsm. Mvno of T-Mobile. I have an unlocked xfinity sm-g955 s8+ right now and had to carrier switch/cross flash to tmk "u1" firmware to get the two features running. Someone told me that they got those features running on T-Mobile "u" firmware and I tried it but it did not work for me. I saw the volte switch on the menu but wifi switch did not show up in the T-Mobile firmware.
I was just wondering if the multi-csc loaded some of the features on first boot up on a like "u1" branded variant.

Greyed out only Wi-Fi is working right now on metro I'm assuming all carriers
Gosh why do the carriers in the USA make it so hard to flash firmware and enable WiFi calling and VOLTE. In Europe its as easy as going on sammobile and flashing the carrier software in odin for the exynos N950F/FD variant... Some networks (like EE in the UK) are even firmware agnostic and just allow WiFi calling and volte on most firmwares including the unbranded BTU. It's as crazy as verizon and sprint sticking to CDMA :/

Both Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE is enabled by default. I'm not sure if I'm using VoLTE when I'm making calls old phones I had had a vo in front of the let signal bar when making calls on the Samsung j7 I'm not getting that on the note 8. If I look at history calls there is a Wi-Fi picture when I make a call on Wi-Fi. But not on VoLTE
Hope it's working get better audio calls now when on phone my data speed is still downloading at 30mbs when I surf the web and talk at the same time

You can test it by making a call without it enabled, it will drop to H+ or h. If you have it enabled and you make a call it will stay on LTE the whole call.

Bought T-Mobile Pixel 4 XL. If I get Verizon will Wi-Fi calling work?

Pretty much like the title states.
I have a T-Mobile Pixel 4 XL that currently has both AT&T and T-Mobile service on it. Rather than paying for two carriers, I'd like to just get Verizon as it seems to work everywhere here. T-Mobile is spotty as hell but the data is WAY faster than my AT&T.
I tested a friends Verizon SIM and did some speed tests but I forgot to test Wi-Fi calling which I will need inside my work building. That works on T-Mobile just fine but I can't get it working on AT&T. I see you can bug AT&T but no since if I just go Verizon anyway.
Thanks!

The TMO pixel 4 runs the same firmware as an unlocked phone bought straight from Google. If Verizon offers wifi calling on their plans you should have no issues.

WELL you would think but have you seen the AT&T thread about Wi-Fi calling on the unlocked Pixel 4 XL? GOOD LORD!
SO it seems AT&T blocks Wi-Fi calling on devices not *sold* by them so people are spending hours on the phone arguing with them and spoofing IMEI's to get it working. Some people are getting it done, others are sitting a wall and AT&T won't help.
Just wondering if Verizon pulls the same crap.

WELL you would think but have you seen the AT&T thread about Wi-Fi calling on the unlocked Pixel 4 XL? GOOD LORD!
SO it seems AT&T blocks Wi-Fi calling on devices not *sold* by them so people are spending hours on the phone arguing with them and spoofing IMEI's to get it working. Some people are getting it done, others are sitting a wall and AT&T won't help.
Just wondering if Verizon pulls the same crap.

Have never had an issue with WiFi calling on any of my pixels - OG bought from Google and my 4XL from Amazon both have wifi calling (on unlimited plan).

I have Pixel 4 XL on T-Mobile and wifi calling works just fine. Can't tell you the spped since I never treated that but I use it inside the hospital where I work at since my cellular signal isn't the strongest

As far as I know as long as your phone isn't owed money... Meaning your not doing payments and you own the phone outright than yes. There is a setting under developer options called OEM Unlocking to unlock the phone from T-Mobile. Once unlocked from T-Mobile it will always unlock the bootloader.
At least that is what I read. I'm not sure how to do any of that anyway with rooting and such. I'm still trying to figure out how to screen recording on this phone.
Curious... Did an unlocked t mobile pixel 4 XL end up working fine on verizon? Like regular calls and data?
