Wi-Fi Calling not working Metro-PCS - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried to ask this on reddit but I could not get any help. I have seen a thread on the nexus 6P but not for the nexus 6. WiFi calling does not activate, I have metropcs but I've seen people have WiFi calling activated on metro. It does say IWLAN on sim status but I can't make calls or texts. I have tried many WiFi networks and have flashed the stock image but still can't connect. E911 address is updated as well. http://imgur.com/a/6ZP9h I am on chroma 12/10, i manually flashed 6.0.1 stock, i also used the tmobile lollipop image for wifi calling and not luck, any help? Thanks

Yes I have, I went to settings and enabled it. It says WiFi preferred but really never does anything.

That app is for CDMA phones back in 2013 I believe. Metro is now gsm like tmo.

ahhh.. that didnt have a date on it, so i wasnt sure? do both your wifi calling setting say wifi preferred? both as in the main phone settings and in your phone settings? mine never worked until about 3 months ago, now it always works.

Yeah both are enabled. For some reason it does say IWLAN on sim status.

I recently got a Huaweii Nexus 6p about a weak ago and this was the one feature i needed the most due to poor reception in some parts of my home. After many days so searching xda, t-moble subreddit, and other help forums. I also made many calls to customer service and still getting no result. As of the other day i can confirm that I've found a solution.
1. Submit your e911 address to metropcs. You can the my metro app from the playstore or call customer service and give it to them so they can put it in the system manually.
2. Go into the apn settings and maually delete each default metro pcs apn one by one. After deleteing them you should notice that the apns will default to showing t-mobile's apn settings. (Ex: T-MobileGPRS, T-Mobile IMS, T-Mobile MMS)
3. Click on the first apn that says "T-MobileGPRS" that is the setting we will edit. The other apns you can leave as is.
4. Once in the T-MobileGPRS setting change the Name from T-MobileGPRS to "MetroPCS".
5. Change the the APN from fast.tmobile.com to "fast.metropcs.com" . Leave all other settings as is and then save the changes.
After that give it a few minutes then you will notice it says "T-Mobile Wifi Caliing" make a test call and you should see in the dialer screen "wifi calling". From the there you will be good to go!
** I can also confirm that this solution also activates VoLTE and data and mms also work with not issues at all!

I tried this and it did not work.. are you on band 12? It says I am on band 4. I'm not sure what to do, Volte did not work. It used to work with the same sim card on metropcs on my nexus 6.

Alright looks like you have the same setup i did. I stumbled upon this new configuration after the original solution I had posted stopped working. So with your current apn settings
1. Delete all the the Metro PCS 260 apns.
2. From there you should only have the default T-Mobile apns that list T-Mobile GPRS, T-Mobile IMS, T-Mobile MMS.
3. Edit the "T-Mobile GPRS" apn and save the following configuration:
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
Proxy: <Leave in Blank>
Port: <Leave in Blank>
Username: <Leave in Blank>
Password: <Leave in Blank>

Authentication type: <Leave in Blank>
APN type: default,supl
APN Protocol: ipv6
APN Roaming Protocol : ipv4

from there save this apn.
4. Create another apn to the list with the following configuration:
Name: MetroPCS 260
APN: fast.metropcs.com

APN type: ia
APN Protocol: ipv4/ipv6
APN Roaming Protocol : ipv4/ipv6
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO Type: None
Save this apn when done.
5. From there you should have this list of apns: MetroPCS, MetroPCS 260, T-Mobile IMS, T-Mobile MMS.
Make sure the MetroPCS one is selected( The 1st in the list)
Almost forgot. To enable SMS texting over wifi:
--Go to Dialer; then dialpad
--dial *#*#4636#*#*
--Phone Information
--Turn on SMS over IMS.
From there if you once your done restart your phone and connect to a wireless network. And wait a few minutes then it should work from there. I used this setup and i can confirm that both wifi-calling is working & VoLTE. Let me know if this worked for you.

Ok so I tried this and then I had no data connection. After some time all I had was H. I then tried enabling wifi and putting on airplane mode with wifi enabled.. phone said connect to a network to make a call. To get my data and mms back I had to remove all the APN's and reset to default. I left the three tmobile ones there and added the mmsc (http://mms.msg.eng...) to the Metro 260 apn and now I have LTE again and my MMS is working as well as texts.
I guess its because I am on band 4? If you download LTE Discovery what band does it say you are on? This is weird at least I had Volte on the nexus 6 with the same sim card on metropcs.

Question: No DATA on US ATT Unlocked Eurospec

Just got my Note straight from the UK, unlocked. Been on the phone with ATT about 6 times. I can send and recieve calls, texts - but no DATA. They can't seem to figure out why it will not pick up the ATT Data Network. Sim, EIN all linked, but no joy.
I am a noob, sorry - any ideas. I hate to send the phone back.
Any ideas ?
Update - Funk2641's response below (no APN was entered) - fixed it the issue.
Still, ATT would not give me a 4G smartphone plan - even though the H+ shows up next to the clock ? Initial Speedtests look like the same as my Infuse, Atrix and 4S.
Thanks everybody (Funk2641) for your help ! I hope this thread saves some agony for many as this phone is hitting the states. Don't know if I will tread in Eurospec for the Nexus, as I will want to hold that one in my hand first.
Also, this is a great phone - speed, battery life and the screen is fantastic !

No, I will give it a try.
Thx.
please keep posted.....I'll be on Att Friday
I will follow this thread since I will also switch from T-mobile to AT&T.
I too have the same issues. I actually used a few different apns and got edge to work poorly, I sighed and told myself ICS would fix it all up better and to just enjoy the extra battery life of 2g now, God I hope a get this cleared up

Technically, the Note is just a big SGS2. There's no reason on the phone side you should be having a problem using the Cingular APN. I'm using a ISGS2 and a UK 3G Tab 10.1 on AT&T with no problem. It's either something with the provisioning of your account or your Note may not have the right bands (Asian?). The latter is unlikely if you ordered it from the UK. Try reseting the APN to default under network settings. Also, if you're on a legit 4G plan there's a specific APN that you can find on the ASGS2 forum.
Here is another APN that works, I had the same issue
For APN settings use the name ATT and then for APN the word phone. Leave everything else blank-what is needed will get filled in automatically. Click the APN when you finish adding it and the radio button turns green to indicate it is working. The advantage to this APN setting is it gives you clear access and data speeds are not limited by ATT.
Those apns didn't work and I too a would doubt my phone bring the Asian version,.this version of gingerbread has the option to suspend my data network from holding down the power button maybe the software isn't...... I don't know I have no clue but my apns are normal but when's search they don't come up
In the list automatically so something a wrong
and I came from a hspa+ phone so my plan is already to go, I called to double check
to op, glad you got it straightened out...who did you order from and how much?

I am on the iphone plan with unlimited data, worked just fine in galaxy tab original 7"
i tried using funks apn settings and i still have nothing, i came from an atrix where i always got H+ and now here are me speeds, my speed test was done in detroit, i live in NJ my ping was 317, U 144 kbps D 155 kbps, i have no idea what is wrong with this phone but att can get going on it, i called and they have nothing for me!!! i dont know what to do
What plans are you guys, please?
(Anyone on month to month $50 unlimited?
There are two different APNs to use depending on what data plan you're on. If you're using a MediaNet or Data for non-Smartphones plan (3G) you need to use the Cingular APN. If you're on a legit 4G plan you need to use the special APN for 4G phones. If you reverse it, you'll get no data. For those of you on the 4G plan, go in to the APN settings. When you press menu, there's a reset to default option. It should pull the 4G settings down automatically. If you're on a 3G plan don't do this and instead manually enter the below settings. If you do this correctly you should get data. If you have a quad-band phone and still can't get data it's something with your account settings and not the h/w.

Go to settings, wireless network, mobile networks, access point names.
Click "Access Point Names." Most T-Mobile SIMs populate the APN. If yours does not, search the forum for "T-Mobile APN settings." Click the menu button, New APN, populate the APN as the forum tells you to, click menu, click save, and you should have mobile data.....
As stated above you need to correctly setup your APN.. and hopefully you are aware that you will be limited to EDGE connection speeds....
Go to Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names (choose MENU on bottom of screen and then NEWAPN. Fill in the spaces as follows if your phone ask for these, some it may not ask for.

strange thing... out of box mine will populate the tmo apn perfectly.... my att sim i have to set up....
I'm selling my Note to a friend and trying to get it working on T-Mobile for now. Yes, I know it will only be 2G. The APN already populated and it says it has bars but when I try to make a phone call it says "Not registered on network". Can anyone tell me what else I have to do? I am using his sim card he gave me. He says its current, but thats all I know.

[Q] Not getting MMS/data - APN issue?

Hi everyone, I have an AT&T Moto X that hasn't been able to send or receive multimedia messages, and the data connection doesn't work. From what I've read, I believe it's an APN issue. However, I'm hesitant to mess with the settings because it's still on a basic phone plan, with no data. When I upgraded to the X, AT&T never automatically added a data plan. If possible, I really want to keep it this way, as I have no need for data, but would like to get MMS working.
In this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238660) post #4 says to leave APN Type set to "phone" if you don't have an LTE plan. Is this a way to make MMS work, but not data? Is there a way to do this at all? And can that be done without AT&T recognizing the smartphone and adding a data plan? Any replies are appreciated :highfive:

You need some sort of data to download multimedia. Does it work with Wifi?

You mean a data connection, not plan, right? It doesn't work over wifi. From what I've read, only Sprint allows downloading MMS over wifi, not AT&T.
I have the same problem, data just all of a sudden quit working and I had an LTE connection with no problems since I got the phone in November, same APN's as you on my phone and both always worked. I now get nothing no 2G, 3G, HSPA+ or LTE. SMS and calls still work but no MMS as expected since it requires a data connection. Spent 2 hours with AT&T both online and in store trying to see if it was anything on their end. Tried every APN they could find for the MotoX, about 4 or 5 different ones they came up with, even tried a new SIM card and still nothing. I did a factory reset last night in desperation and still no data so I finally RMA'd the phone with Motorolla tech support and the new (refurbished) one should arrive tomorrow. We'll see if that fixes it.
You had to send it back? Oh wow. Please post an update when you get your new phone or get it figured out. Thanks for the response!!

In this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238660) post #4 says to leave APN Type set to "phone" if you don't have an LTE plan. Is this a way to make MMS work, but not data? Is there a way to do this at all? And can that be done without AT&T recognizing the smartphone and adding a data plan? Any replies are appreciated :highfive:
Here's my APN settings, defaults that came with the phone:

Not sure if this is the issue, but AT&T's own site says that the MMSC url should be: http://mmsc.cingular.com
You may give that a shot.
Additionally, from what I understand, MMS is ONLY transmitted through either EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+, or LTE
If you don't have data at all, I'm not sure if you can even send or receive MMS.
Good Luck
Time for a very late update, in case anyone else has this issue. I did finally get my data working, using the 3G APN settings on this page: (first result when you google "att apn settings", I can't post links yet)
Now, I mentioned in my first post that I really only wanted mms, so what I did was make two new APNs - one a copy of my original, non-working APN, but with APN type changed to only "default", and I selected this one. The second APN is the settings from the link above, but with APN type changed to only "mms". So now when I have data turned on, only mms works, not any other mobile data. AT&T still hasn't recognized the smartphone on the account and thus hasn't forced me to add a data plan.

[Q] Exclamation point, No mobile data, Lollipop

I updated my phone to Lollipop and now I have no mobile data, and it now always says "HOME" under the signal bars, and has an exclamation point to the right of the signal bars, I can make and receive calls however.
I have tried:
Deleting my APN and typing in a new one.
Used the "Network operators" to select a network, - it shows "HOME" and "AT&T", I have tried both, and "Choose automatically".
Removing my sim card, both rebooting with out a sim, and removing the sim and re-inserting with the phone running.
Removing my SD card, and rebooting with it removed.
Wiping the cache.
Factory reset.
Reboot in safe mode.
My boot loader is locked, no root, and I use Straight Talk.
This post lists the steps I took to update to Lollipop, as I had a Consumer Cellular version of the Moto G 2014.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59470751&postcount=114
Is there anyway to fix this without unlocking the boot loader?
If I have to unlock the boot loader, what steps would fix the problem?
Thanks.
I needed a working phone for today, and decided to unlock my bootloader and install a ROM, I decided on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-titan-prime-romversion-1-0-beta-t3048786
unfortunately the problem remains, so what now?
I am thinking I may have to go back to KitKat
Are you absolutely sure you have the APN right? I have an XT1064 with Consumer Cellular on AT&T's network. I'm running Titan Rom Lollipop and I was having similar problems until I fixed the APN. Also, I've never even had to look at Network Operators setting to get data.

I got it fixed today, by changing the APN, but here is the strange thing, the APN I was using on the phone when I still had the Consumer Cellular KitKat ROM was this:
http://www.straighttalkbyop.com/program.php
-----------------------------------------------
Name: straight talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
-----------------------------------------------
and it was working, I had mobile data and was able to send and receive texts.
But after the update to Lollipop that APN never worked again, now I am using this:
http://buzzmobile.us/configure-straight-talk-apn-settings-byop/
Name: straight talk
APN: ATT.MVNO
Server: att.mvno
MMSC: hrrp://mmmsc.cingular.com
MMS PROXY: 66.209.11.33
MMS PORT: 80
I checked with Straight Talk and the settings I am using now are the correct ones for my phone number

That's the APN I've always used. CC gave me 2 APN'S once, one for Data and one for MMS which I promptly ignored and combined both into one.

I had got the phone from eBay, and did a factory restore before I used it, and then installed my Straight Talk SIM and finished setting up the phone and replaced the "TFDATA" default APN with the Straight Talk APN, I did notice both APNs looked the same except the for name, I had believed at the time that the reason why both APNs were the same was that somehow the APN was stored on the SIM and recovered by the phone.
Yep, it looks like the APN I had to switch to seems to be almost exactly the same as Consumer Cellular's APN

if you search for "APN" you find:

Data and Messaging on MetroPCS not working

Hey guys, I know I have not been a member long, but I really need some help. I recently switched to MetroPCS as my service provider from AT&T. All is good and well except I can't use data or send mms messages. I have searched the forums, called their customer support, and looked everywhere I could for info. I have changed the APN settings several different ways, and some of them will work temporarily, other times it won't at all. I am using an unlocked Nexus 6 running CyanogenMod 13 nightlies. These are my settings currently:
APN: fast.metropcs.com
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: h**p://mms.metropcs.mmsmvno. com/mms/wapenc ***edited so I could post here
MMS Proxy:
MMS Port:
MCC:310
MNC:260
Authentication type:
APN Type: default,mms,supl
APPN protocol:IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol:IPv4
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
