Hey guys! After doing a little research, I bought Verizon Moto X to use because I read that it's unlocked. I got it new from craigslist for a decent deal. I'm coming from a nexus 5.. I liked it but the feel of the moto x is just amazing. Plus I was always jealous of the active display and always on features.
Anyway, here's the issue.. The phone works brilliantly until 4G comes on. When that happens, data works great, and is blazing fast as usual, but I cannot make calls or send texts. I can receive calls and texts just fine, just can't make them. On everything below 4G there are no issues.
Apparently, since 4.4, you can no longer make new APNs. You can try, but it won't actually save them. For now, I am using an app that accesses the hidden menu to limit the phone to HSPA.
Is there anything I can do or am I better off selling it? Verizon are such ****s.. I don't think I will ever again touch their devices or services again.
Why would u buy Verizon moto for T-Mobile?
T-Mobile moto is unlocked and it supports LTE

It's supposed to be unlocked, it was in the colors that I wanted and it was a great deal. There were T-Mobile ones for sale, but quite a bit more expensive.
I'm pretty sure there was a Verizon Unlocked Moto X and a general unlocked Moto X because Verizon uses different antennas then companies like T-Mobile. Therefore using an unlocked Verizon Moto X WON'T work on T-Mobile or other carriers like Sprint

When you say 4G do you mean LTE or HSPA+?. The Verizon model does not support T-Mobile LTE. HSPA+ should work
The Verizon model doesn't support UMTS/WCDMA on the main band Tmobile uses which is 1700 Mhz/AWS. So it is likely getting confused when trying to switch between bands to make calls.
At the end of the day it was the wrong phone to buy for your needs.

Which Wi-Fi calling apps do you use from the play store since the Moto X doesn't have native Wi-Fi calling from what I know? Or does it have wi-fi calling?

You recommend them? I was interested in their $40 4G plan, but idk their speeds?

I use them and it has worked well for me. Speed and coverage are entirely dependent on the Sprint service in your area.
Where I live, Sprint recently upgraded to 4G, and speeds are in the 5-10mbps range, which is perfectly acceptable for me. If you have any friends on Sprint, you could ask them what speeds they experience. Additionally, Republic wireless offers a 30-day money back guarantee.
If you would like to try them out, I'll give you a referral link to save you $20 off your bill. You HAVE to use a Republic Wireless Moto X (or Moto G) on RW though. You cannot bring your own device (because of the custom rom with integrated WiFi calling).
EDIT: Here is the referral link, if you decide to try them: http://rwshar.es/28KK (This will save you $20, and I get credit as well. Win-Win )

Get RW's Moto X - I'm on their $10 a month plan and it's excellent. If you travel outside the US a lot you can only use wifi - you can't pop in a local sim.
EDIT - Moto X starts $299 black/white 16GB, $349 MotoMaker 16GB, $374 MotoMaker 16GB Wood, $399 MotoMaker 32GB, $424 MotoMaker 32GB Wood. Moto G starts at $149 8GB, $179 16GB

I'll get my Note 3 unlocked from AT&T tomorrow or soon just for travelling internationally while using the Moto X as the main device. I won't really pay as much for AT&T. I will consider the $40 RW plan actually. I like LTE data.
Well, I can't figure what exactly do you mean with WIFI calling. As far as I know Republic Wireless force calling via WIFI whenever is possible but it is locked to the RW network and cell calling comes as a subsidiary.
Speaking of internet calling in general, you can use it on any Android phone. You must install one of the sip clients as Csipsimple or Sipdroid. In previous versions (ICS, JB) you could use native sip client which is integrated into the system. Motorola removed one file from the system which is essential for the internet calling though (android.software.sip.voip.xml) but you can get it back if you're rooted. But this is not the only problem with the native sip. In KitKat is somehow damaged and using it causes massive voice distortion which is allegedly result of inappropriate echo management. The malfunction is one of about 300 which should have been fixed in 4,4,3 version. It would be nice if someone, who already officially upgraded, tests the sip functionality.
As it has been announced Google plans to integrate his voice app into Hangouts in 5.0 and therefore offer voip as its own standard telephony. It seems that with further development of telecommunications (LTE Advanced) the mobile phone loses its last trad functionality - there will be no more voice transmission, voice will be transferred as any other data via internet from initial base station to the end one.
I'm hoping this advanced calling video works well on the S6. I hope it works as good as Facetime.
Works very well. Better than facetime since it works with iPhones as well. Doesn't work on all phones yet but works well on the compatible devices
Sweet!!! So it's currently able to be used on devices with Verizon prior to S6? I have never seen the option.

Definitely doesn't work with iPhones. Only between Verizon branded Android devices, while on Verizon LTE network.

I don't think I am. I'm almost certain that a Verizon note about VoLTE being so great was HD voice and Video regardless of phone you're using. I'll double check on that and post if I'm either right or wrong.
However, I'm 1000000% sure HD voice works fine because my business partner has an iPhone 6+ and I a GS6 Edge and we just hung up a call that was VoLTE.

- VoLTE will work on your side if you have a capable phone, regardless of whether the other party has a VoLTE device or not.
- HD Voice however will only happen within VoLTE-to-VoLTE calls within Verizon's LTE network.
- LTE Video calling, which is what we're talking about in this thread, will only work when calling another Verizon's LTE Video Calling enabled device, while on Verizon's LTE network.
- No iOS devices support Verizon's LTE Video Calling at this time, including iPhone 6.
Works great with my edge and wife's S5! Goodbye Skype!
I tried all weekend to video chat with my mother and her iPhone6 and it would absolutely not work. HD voice worked amazingly. iPhone's just don't have the ability to do it yet.
Does video calling use data?
Yes it uses data.
WiFi?
Does it only work on LTE? I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I'm on WiFi currently.

What I have found is you need to make a regular call. When the person connects and you're talking....hit the camera button on you your phone. It will say it's requesting video call.
You can't have video calling between Android and iPhone. Both different platforms. I kept on trying and trying and I found that out on HD video Q&A on Verizon site.

What you guys use for video calling? Hangouts?

I use hangouts on all my phones to call my wife's gs4 for video
I have tried to call with my s6 edge but i did not get any respons out of it.. (wifi/cellular)
what software is used to make the video connection? ( by default in the s6 edge )
Does anyone who currently has a moto x4 know if the wifi calling option is available? I have a moto x pure and lenovo has disabled it, even though I'm on nougat. I have T-mobile and I was thinking about getting the moto x4, but if lenovo has disabled wifi calling for some reason I won't get it.
The Android One Moto X4 will most certainly have wifi calling, as it's a key factor in Project Fi compatibility. Not sure about the normal version.

Incase you haven't seen yet it def. does have it
WiFi Calling doesn't work with the Amazon Branded Moto X4 using Verizon Wireless.
I have the x4 Android one on republic wireless and it has WiFi calling. Also my mxp on republic also had WiFi calling. (Maybe because it's what republic is known for but both phones had it and it worked)
FYI the mx4 does not do WiFi calling on mintsim (they don't support the x4 on WiFi calling yet) but the option can still be enabled in settings
Anybody able to get the Moto x4 Android One working with WIFI calling on AT&T?
I have a Moto x4 phone purchased from Amazon and I can't find the setting for wi-fi calling. Anyone know?
Mine is Android One open market and both VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling work on T-Mobile

Just an update...I contacted Verizon today and they said that my specific phone (purchased from Amazon, not Verizon) does not have HD capability and therefore does not support Wi-Fi calling. Seems like something people should be aware of....might have purchased from Verizon in that case. Thanks for the replies....
update: one year 3 months later
Moto x4 1900-1 payton_fi retus running Android 9 wifi calling works on mintmobile.

It has that ability. At least I know that it does that in Google Fi. But also, Google Duo does that regardless. So if you call other android users using Duo, it will use your Wifi. It is very high quality too.
My Moto X4 (Android one flavor) does wifi calling, HD voice, volte, Hotspot, and CCF beautifully and automatically once I inserted a Mint SIM. Suspect any SIM based on T-mo network would do the same.

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.

Great! What carrier did you end up with?
Also, when you tried the Moto X4, was that the Android One version?

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.
