[TROUBLESHOOTING] [VZW ONLY] Data Issues AOSP/CM

With all the CM/AOSP clones having similar issues with Data connectivity (lack of handoff, Roaming, improper network names) I thought a thread with the experiences would be a great tool for the Dev's to refer to to help solve this issue.
VERIZON ONLY PLEASE!!!!!
Please use the following format:
ROM:
Kernel:
Radio:
Roaming indicator: Y/N
1X/3G/LTE Handoff Working: Y/N
Comments: Any steps you have tried to get it working (The verizon APN update.zip floating around, ERI fix, ECT)
LTE Discovery Screenshot
I'll update as I can with confirmed working ROM's/Solutions.

I'm stock 5.0.1on Verizon I haven't rooted or unlocked because of these problemsthese problems seems as if at times phone freezes up has 3G or Sometimes 4G but still no Internet connection then finally after sometimes 5 minutes it connects up and it's fine it's not network because my wife's Droid 4 gets 4G kind of embracing. Also seems slow to hook up but decrypting may solve that. Are these the problems you are talking about or is my phone jacked?

This happens on my T-Mobile version. Sorry. I know the OP only asked for Verizon people.

Where is this verizon apn update.zip you speak of? The biggest issue I'm having is not being able to get data through my network extender. I have tried stock, aosp, cm12, all roms have the same issue. Pretty sure its an apn issue.

Not sure what problem is but my droid maxx was same way you have to turn on WiFi to get data but voice does work.

That is the issue.. well part of it.. so I answered my own question.

I have a Moto Droid Maxx, and am able to do calls and data at the same time....Can the new nexus 6 on VZW not do this?

Obviously your other phones get data? I'm just asking because the newest network extenders are no longer capable of data connectivity...

Well I wasn't talking to you, but I was just pointing out that some (I may have been mistaken on the "newest") of Verizon's network extender's aren't capable of data connections (such as the network extender for business I had)

I believe all the regular extenders are all the same I know someone who just got one and it's the same as mine. I have had several android phones some work some don't. The Note 4 does Nexus doesn't. Makes no difference you need wifi to make them work anyway so you have data

Anyone have the verizon apn update.zip?

Thanks for the reply, think I remember seeing that thread before just thought maybe there was something else now.

Guys... Whoever is around and on verizon.... Try adding this to your build.prop and report back.. fixed my issues....
ro.telephony.get_imsi_from_sim=true
This does fix most issues with roaming and data on Verizon.. Confirmed

First time Nexus owner, few simple questions.

Just switched to tmo and purchased a 64gb Nexus 6 from Motorola. Should be here next week.
I had a few device & carrier questions being this is my first Nexus device (besides tablets)
I will be using this device on T-Mobile but it's from the Moto store.
Who will I be getting updates from? T Mobile or Google directly?
I plan on flashing a custom rom (most likely Pure Shamu from what I've gathered) being that one model of nexus supports all carriers (radios).. I read that T-Mobile will be pushing an update to support wifi-calling (which I need in my home). Will that work on my particular device or is there a specific T-Mobile Nexus that I'd need?
Lastly, I do use wifi tether quite a bit, and on my current devices rom they have the unlimited wifi tether hack.
Is that something built into a rom or has to be done separately?
Thanks for any help that can be given.

Oh, forgot one question.
Also read up on the encryption ordeal.
I don't need that on my device but is there any benefit to have it or not have it enabled?
Again, thank you.

Nexus is GSM unlocked and should theoretically work on all carriers out of the box. I bought mine from the motorola store and is working without any problems.
Updates come from google directly.
If you want to use Wifi calling, I believe that you do have to be running stock firmware, nobody will know for sure until it gets released.
I believe Shamu allows you to bypass the tether limit. I'm currently using CM 12 and tethering doesn't count towards my tethering limit.
The only benefit of not having encryption enabled is faster boot times.

If you root your phone, you can add the hack yourself. I am on a stock rom, and my grandfathered data plan has no tethering allotment, but i can tether to my heart's content. I copied this from another thread:
I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.
I hope this helps.

Definitely rooting and most like run a stockish custom rom. Hoping that's built in if not I'll take a look into that.
Most of the custom roms I've run on t-mobile have that built in and are preset to ipv 4 not 6 for that exact reason.

Rom with T-mobile WiFi Calling support?

Is there one out there?

Yes, the stock T-Mobile LYZ28E does.

stock and m, only. for the moment at least.

Ok so my noob question to go with this topic.. is there a way to use the LED notifications with the stock Tmo 28E? I'm guessing Google has to fully release LYZ28E(r5) or something so that every tmo user can use wifi calling in a nonstock ROM?

Won't light flow work with stock?

I tested the free version of this last night. Seems pretty good. I wish it'd blink rather than stay solid. If it does this - I'll be honest and say I didn't spend much time looking.
Guess I'll go flash 28E now and install light flow. The WiFi calling is a huge help in the big building I work in these days. Thanks!

Google Fi 5.1.1 Build Issue

Strange issue. I activated Project Fi yesterday on my Nexus 6 running lmy47z. Everything updated and works fine, however I keep getting prompted to do a system update to 5.1.1. I downloaded it and looked at the log in TWRP and its showing that it's trying to update me to lyz28e. I know lyz28e is the T-Mo build that enabled wi-fi calling among other things. I noticed that in my area I get better T-Mo coverage, hence my phone defaults to T-Mo when I run a *#*#344636#*#*. When I force to Sprint, the issue doesn't happen, however, my coverage is extremely poor, so this is not a good solution.
Here are my questions:
1.) Wi-fi calling already works on lmy47z, why do I need lyz28e?
2.) How do I get the prompt to stop coming up? Project Fi support told me to clear my project fi app cache... this did not work. I don't really want to flash to 28e if I don't have to.

Says who?
Project Fi specifically states they dont recommend flashing specific builds, but have made it optionally available for those who wish to try it.

Okay.... Then you solve his problem....

I was under the impression that all 48c did was embed the project Fi app. Am I missing something here? I bought my nexus from Amazon unlocked. I thought 48c was only on the ones bought from Google directly

Because 28E is a newer build than 47Z.

My thoughts exactly. Especially since it is unique to me being on T-Mo, to reiterate, when I force the radio to sprint, the issue goes away.

Try going to fi.google.com and sign into the account you registered for Fi with, then scroll down to the bottom, there should be a G+ button to click on.
If not there, it should be in the email that you received when your service was activated (the link to the community).

There is a contact link in the email.

Just a quick update on this, after working with a few different Fi reps and their "higher ups" it was determined that the issue was caused by the build and it's interaction with the network. I flashed to 48C and have not had the issue since.

To clarify, now that your are on the LVY48C build, did the behavior of the phone in automatically switching between Sprint/T-Mobile change?

If anything, it's more seamless now. I haven't noticed anything more pronounced though.

One more followup: How did you flash to LVY48C? Did you flash a complete build yourself from scratch, or did Google support provide an OTA to install on top of what you had?

I flashed the rooted version via twrp found here on xda. I'm on my phone so I don't have a direct link, but it's in a thread from one of the mods if you search for the build. It took fine without a full wipe (just wiped the sys and dalvik cache).

Do these features work on the unlocked Note8 on Verizon?

- WiFi Calling
- HD Calling
- Video Calling
- VoLTE
I figure since people have had the phone for a few days now, maybe there is a definitive answer to be had. I contacted Verizon and they said that WiFi calling and HD calling will not work and that an unlocked phone will remove these features from my account. But, Verizon did say that VoLTE and Video calling will work. I contacted Samsung support and they said that all 4 features will work but that I would need to contact Verizon to enable the features on their end. Seems like a runaround.
Is there anyone with the unlocked variant and Verizon that can confirm what does and doesn't work? Thanks!

I do not have any of those working. I will try calling Verizon. I really want VoLTE/HD calling to work.

Yes it works. I had called someone in Verizon and he went through line by line, updated something called mpas or empass,and then I had to restart my phone to get it active. Finally worked after talking to 3 different people. Ask to speak to a level 2 tech if the first guy doesn't get it

Thanks, MACHEK. Which of the features are you referring to? All of them? Or, specific ones? Thanks.

Yeah I had my phone on airplane mode just to check and only had Wi-Fi. Received texts, calls etc no problem. HD calling works too. I tried to reach out to my contact at Verizon for a real good description of what he checked but he hasn't replied yet. It took him a good 15 minutes but eventually he got it. He said he went line by line to double check each setting.

Thanks again, MACHEK. If your contact gets back to you can you please reply here with the info so I and others know what to ask for when calling Verizon to get these features working on our unlocked phones?
Mr. Toad - Since you're calling tomorrow, if you get any specifics can you please post it as well?

Yes, if you do hear back, please post with what was necessary to turn on, I'm so glad that wifi calling works, that was the last piece which I was worried about from reading other threads.

Wow sorry guys I just realized you guys are talking about the non snapdragon version? I missed that part in the original post, but to be honest, a few people even with snapdragon are having this problem of getting it set up so I wouldn't give it up.

I'm taking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant so please update when you have the details, thanks again!

Yeah, I think we're all probably talking about the snapdragon US unlocked variant. So, MACHEK, I think you're info is still good, correct?
