has anyone gotten their calls over lte. no such luck with me. anyone else? im running all stock r1-hd prime version with ads with the latest update and yes i have enhanced 4g lte mode enabled. am i missing something. im on tmobile postpaid, also I've tried my sim card with a tmobile iphone 6s and volte works great.
I tested it by calling an iphone on tmobile and same issue as you
Wait! Which update adds VoLTE? I've been gone for 10 days and will be shocked if there is actually a VoLTE update! But then again, it seems all you guys are saying it doesn't even work? Color me confused...
I tried to enable the volte, it still goes 3G when I make phone calls. I hope it would work in the future. I am using T-mobile.
this update
BLU_R0010UU_V7.4.2_GENERIC 09-11-2016 13:38, witch added band 12, volte support, and android October security patch. As far as I know only the prime with ads version of the phone received the update. i've tried messing around with ims settings in mtk engineering but no luck getting it to work. im hoping that tmobile is just dragging their feet and flips the switch soon
Thanks for the info! Yes, it needs to be enabled not only on the phone but on t-mobile's end when/if they decide that Blu has met their requirements. Let's hope that it does actually happen. Blu said VoLTE would be available via OTA update "shortly after release" and the damn phone is already discontinued! Sigh...
Well I just got this phone today from Amazon the 16 GB memory version for my 10 yr old son. I checked today & there is a new update dated 4-30/5-1 that adds the band 12 VOLTE plus security patch update I believe. I'll install update & test lol. It was a tough decision between this $59.99 phone & the Moto G4 Play for $99 with similar specs but I think the Moto would of maybe performed a little better tho? Lol. Well have a great day fellas. All the best, Ron.
So i've searched the forum and got an impression this might work.
I have owned AW for 2 years on my Sony SmartWatch 3, it has NFC but AW never activated AP on AW til AW2. I just today ordered a used Urbane2 which is due to get AW2, and based on the AP on AW explanation implies that AP will work on the Urbane when it gets AW2 - right?

So literally once we get AW2 on Urbane we'll get AP?

That is my understanding/hope as well.
When the Android Team announced the upcoming 2.0 release on reddit, the AW team member stated in the comments NFC enabled devices, including the Sport and Urbane 2nd Edition, would be able to use Android Pay.

Also, here is a teardown photo showing the NFC chip in the 2nd Edition.

I just bought one yesterday, its pretty cool, but W2 is when it will become super useful. Why doesn't Urbane 2 have its own thread? Anyone know

Not sure really. Maybe not as many users? A result of the recall in November 2015 of the original release? Who knows. I've had mine since the original release, two days before the recall, and still wear it daily. For my purposes, it's still the best option available for AW.
I didn't know there was a recall! I just picked mine up. Looking into it.

The original release in November 2015 was recalled. It was re-released in March/April of 2016.
It sold briefly for $299 new in November 2015 before the recall then it was released again 2016 for $360 new. That's the AT&T version pricing.
Is there a way to know if you have the recall version or the new hardware version?

Bought mine used, trying to find a hardware number for pre-recall post.

Do you have the original box? There is a SKU number on it. 6387 is the newer release. My original release has 6106 on it.
No I bought it used. Is there another way or a serial number range?

Hmmm I'd have to research about the serial number. They didn't sell very many originally since it was only on sale for a few days so my guess is it's the new version. I haven't had any issues with the original version.
given its 18 months later, the LG Watch Sport looks disappointing specs upgrade, seems a downgrade in battery size (why?) and yet still a big warch and only really chipset improved, given current prices the Urbane2 is about half the price for similar specs. You then have puzzle of the Huawei Watch 2 even higher price for lower specs.
Interest moment coming when AW2 out and then see if AP works. I have rooted phone, AP works (magisk) on phone but the word is not on AW.

If I had to replace my watch for any reason currently, I'd get the U2 again. Other than the rotating crown, the Sport doesn't offer much more for twice the price. Also, for my specific use, there isn't another watch that can provide the same functions. I like being able to forward calls to the watch and leave the phone behind during GPS recorded runs. I was also able to do this while visiting family in France because the U2 includes the 2100 band, the Sport does not. I know that's a rare need, but it was nice to have. My Truphone SIM is global so it worked with no problems.

Yeah there are a lot of inaccuracies out there. The watch does support B1 2100 band. It definitely worked in France. Select 'specifications' at the top of this site. They don't mention B1, probably because it isn't an AT&T band, but they show support for 2100.

Regarding service, I'm in the united States. What sub carrier can I get a sim from and connect my watch for the cheapest? Ideally I would like Google Fi, but I need a service to add the data Sim. Wish there was a thread for confirmed carriers we can use. I heard TMobile works, but only 3g.

T-Mobile does work with their phone SIM. Some have tried their wearable SIM with little success because they won't allow a non T mobile device on the wearable plan. I originally tried H2O and Ting but couldn't get data to work and there isn't a way to adjust the APN settings. I eventually found Truphone. They are a global SIM that uses AT&T network here in the US. It's 10 cents per minute/SMS/mb with free incoming calls/texts. It's perfect for my use, but if you end up using a lot of data it could add up quickly.

Good to know. I have ATT and T-mobile SIMs in my OnePlus3T, I was going to try both in the Urbane2 and find out the actual coverage, and then decide what to do next. I was with Straighttalk before ATT, and around here ATT tends to be better coverage than T-mobile. So if Truphone is a ATT based, usage-based for the odd time not with your mobile that might be (agreed) perfect complement. The 9c/MB is the worrying part because its free for incoming and in the context of AW its going to be incoming mostly. Notifications over LTE would add up to a few MB? What is your AW Truphone MB/month type usage off you Truphone bill?

It does receive LTE and actually it's 9 cents per minute/sms/mb with free incoming calls/texts. They are not sold in the store as far as I know. I ordered the SIM online. It was $30 and included $15 of credit. I only activate LTE when I'm running a few times a week. I average about 1MB of data per run so it's costing me $1-$2 dollars a month. FYI, when AW 2.0 arrives it could allow for more data usage if you stream music or download apps away from the phone. I play music from the watch through bluetooth headphones so I don't plan on streaming or downloading apps on LTE.

Hey all,
I just got the 6gb version in today, but I cant connect to my network.
I was under the assumption that the Alpha would be supported by my carrier (Telus in Canada) but no go.
Now, I know the P25 can support the required bands , but is there a way to enable them? either by modding the radio/modem firmware or by software ?any help would be much appreciated.
Anyone? any help/ advice would be great.
Hi mistamikel!
Did you try the other sim slot? Had problems with Vodafone DE in the 1st slot.
If this isn't working you can check the available bands with MTK Engineering Mode

I’m in Canada and the band support is not present (3g and LTE) now I’m almost 100% sure the P25 supports th required bands, Maze just has then locked due to region and licensing.
I’d like to find out if I could mod the radio firmware or nvram partitions to enable them.
Anyone have any advice or can help me out ?
I'm not willing to give up yet!!! People of XDA HELP ME!!!!! Plz
I also need this help but I'm on Rogers the phone says 4g at the top but when I make a phone call it changes to E and stays on E (edge) till I'm off the call same thing when receiving a phone call

You must be in a place where Rogers uses band 7 (lte) So at least you can use your device. Rogers runs on the old 2g for voice and text and in some places Band 7 (lte) which is why you're getting LTE.
I think all hope is lost as this place has become a shell of what it once was.,truly disappointing for long time members like myself.
You got that right this forum is going down hill. As for you phone speak to GearBest if you tell them you want a refund because the phone does not work in Canada they will offer you at least $40/$50 US back and you can keep the phone or sell it or just return it to GearBest for a full refund
I took the option for $50 and I got to keep the phone

I finally received mine today and it is a good-looking smartphone. However, I am sorry to hear about your case. Let's hope somebody will find a way around this issue - if Maze Alpha is not releasing any custom ROM (which might provide possibility of modding the OS for additional feature to be enabled)..

Maze Alpha is a nice smartphone. Not going to use it as a daily driver because of the lack of case for it. Until I am able to customize a case for it I am going to always leave it at home.
Good to know you always have a way to get your money back. I have been looking at buying iPhone X(10) - not until the price has fallen down dramatically I am not going to dish out such huge amount for a phone with some facial recognition issue.
I am receiving 3G on a 4G LTE network.
Hey man!
My package hasn't arrived yet but tell me something that this issue was there before flashing or it occurs after flashing ? if it occurred after flashing i think i can help
Hi all,
My wife and I are thinking that project fi might be too expensive for us with the amount of data that we use. If we Port over to T-Mobile, will my wife's Moto X4 work and be full featured? I mean things like simultaneous talk/surf (very important) and wifi calling?
I have the Pixel 2 XL and I'm pretty sure that it would work on TMobile with all of the above mentioned features.
Thank you!
Yes, it will work. I used mine on TMO briefly. My wife used her Pixel 1 as well and all features work as expected.
Neither of your phones has the new Band 71 that TMO has started to roll out, but for the next couple of years you should be fine. I believe that there is only one phone available right now that will work on Band 71.

I've got an Xfinity Mobile (Verizon) SIM in it right now. I purchased the phone from FI, so it is the Android One version. Fi trained me to minimize data usage, and I'm able to stay within the 100MB free allowance at XM. Total cost per month is $2.39 taxes/fees. Yes, I am a skinflint.

Wait, how did you get an XM sim without buying one of their phones? If I can bring my A1 MotoX4 to XM, I'm switching.
They had the LG Charge phone on sale for $1 in August so I bought one. The ultimate cheapskate deal! The LG is surprisingly good with tremendous battery life, but I use Android Pay and the LG doesn't do NFC. I use the LG now as a remote control for video, and also keep it around in case I have trouble with the SIM since XM will not deal with BYOD at all.
The X4 works fine with the Verizon SIM that XM uses although I've heard of trouble with visual VM. That isn't a problem for me since I use a Google Voice number for everything and never use the XM number. XM doesn't support wifi calling either, but since I'm using GV that isn't a problem for me either. My use case may be atypical, but for me XM and X4 work fine together.
Can anyone on sprint with android 10 update confirm VOLTE functionality? Im on oreo. Before i take the plunge I want to be sure VOLTE has been enabled.
Guess that's a not. I Lol. Smh. Has any of the "security updates" added any new functionality?
Are there any Sprint users out there?
Are there any Sprint users out there?
I have the latest june update and VoLTE does not work. I even work at sprint as a technician. VoLTE is broken.
I have the U1 running in my Sprint model and VOLTE is nowhere to be found.
Hello ....SPCS User for A Long time here ... unfortunately VolTE does not work on android PIE.
I had to make a choice Go back to Android 8.0 and hack it to enable VoLte or use latest and greatest Android PIE.. I chose functionality over pretties so im back on 8.0.
There is a thread on XDA with the files to go back please note this is for the SM-N-960U1.
I have oreo running and i did the VOLTE hack. When in call however i keep losing packets. Its really hard to have a conversation on this $1000 computer. Either my voice cuts for long periods of time or their's does. The hack isnt super functional. Essentially its half a Voip phone/ computer. How the heck does sprint skip out on core functionality on a flagship device?
Can any sprint users confirm if VOLTE is in the july patch? If not im sticking with Oreo.
I'm on sprint.... but I'm using an unlocked phone..as of the latest update no..no volte setting and no way to hack around to achieve it...
Ok no VOLTE. Does the update at least have night mode patch?
How about the August patch?
