LineageOS 16 - Report on usability issues - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

---------------------------------------
Google Voice + Call Waiting
---------------------------------------
Device Information
Device / Nexus 6 32GB US XT1103
Region / United States
Network / Sprint
Build / lineage_shamu-userdebut 9 PQ2A.190205.001 10eabd58f8
Baseband / MDM9625_104670.31.05.51R
Version / 16.0.20190307-nightly-shamu
Recovery / twrp 3.2.3-0
Application / Voice 2019.09.234885482
Application Author / Google
Symptom Description
Phone shows an incoming secondary call while actively engaged in a phone call
User can acknowledge the incoming call in attempt to switch phone calls
Phone will drop both calls after switching
Phone then loses data connectivity
You must power the phone on/off to regain connectivity or use the service menu to toggle the radio services on/off
Reproduction
Install Google Voice [rebranded as Voice by Google]
Proceed through the setup process
Make sure the option to use Google Voice for all outgoing calls is selected in the app settings
Place an outgoing call from your handset that connects and remains active
Place a second call to your handset so you receive a call waiting interrupt
Answer the call waiting interrupt
Watch both phone calls drop and the handset lose data connectivity
Considerations
Google Voice is available only in the United States
These symptoms can actually be reproduced on just about every other custom Oreo and Pie rom
This issue has likely gone unaddressed because most of the rom testing community remains international
Testers within the United States probably do not all make use of Google Voice
You will be unable to use Google Voice outside of this region because the service does not allow foreign forwarding numbers
Call waiting does work when calls are made and received without Google Voice
And no this is not a Google Voice application isolated issue because Google Voice works perfectly fine on stock roms for the Nexus 6
Google Voice also works fine on Pure Nexus which is based on Nougat 7.1
The installation of this rom was performed clean after a full wipe of all mount and storage points via twrp

Missing Calls While on a Call in 3G (No notification)

I occasionally seem to be missing calls while I'm already in a call. I live in a 3g area, and have had this issue occur on multiple occasions (with confirmed 3g reception). I only found out that I had missed the call, when the person calling just happened to leave a voice mail. Other than the voice mail, there was no indication of the call I had missed. There are times that I receive the incoming call (notification) just fine, however. Any clue as to why this function isn't working reliably?
Might just be your SIM. Try replacing it. Make sure you also have full call waiting services to your mobile.
Which ROM and Radio are you using? Someone with knowledge of either or both may be able to provide some help.

[Q] Should one want to turn on VoLTE on VZ?

Ok,
We all know that turning on Advanced Calling 1.0 on your account is free, includes HD voice to other callers that are similarly enabled, and most of all - it gives us back voice and data at the same time.
But are there negatives to go with the positives?
I've scanned the threads and wanted to consolidate this here.
I've heard if you are on adv calling and move out / drop off 4G your call may get lost. I haven't heard how one makes a call, or if it will make a call if out of a 4G area or on wifi out of a 4G area and you try to place a call.
So, that said, what are the experiences from our vast userbase here?
Has turning it on caused any issue for you? either with making/receiving calls, data use, or even other issues with the N6 once you enabled it? (I'm stock right now, what about ROM's? )
(for purposes of streamlining this thread, the conditions are that you got the phone from Verizon, or have it established on Verizon and have been able to enable the option)
I turn on day 1 but I don't have anyone to call that has that option so nothing really changed for me I don't find my coverage any better or worse. I do notice I have voice and data now (at the same time I mean)
Sent from my Google N6 on VZ
VZW Volte
When I go to Verizon website to select volte in my plan a pop up says 1 or more of my other selections i already have is not compatible with volte and must be unselected to get volte. It is saying Ringback Tones needs to be unselected.
Has anyone else experienced this?

[Q] Using Hangouts for calls on Verizon - No longer working?

I am in an unlimited data contract with Verizon and have been using Hangouts for my incoming and outgoing calls for the last 1.5 years because I prefer to use Hangouts/Google Voice for various reasons.
Today I tried placing a call through Hangouts on my VZW data connection and instead of the standard Hangouts dialing sound, I got a standard dialing "tone", followed by "Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless. Your call can not be completed as dialed".
It seems like they are no longer allowing calls through Google Hangouts. Outgoing calls is all I have confirmed at this point.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Nexus 6 running Stock Lite ROM (6.0.1), stock kernel, May security update bootloader and radio.

sounds like your unlimited data might just be limited. anyways, its worth giving verizon a call, to find out. hangouts dialer works fine here on my nexus 6, with tmobile. both incoming and outgoing.
i turned off my wifi and made a call over 3G on verizon and it rang like a normal ring, and the call went through.

New Update G925VVRU4CPH1

Just downloaded and installed a new system update. Had to go to Settings>System Updates and manually update, as it didn't automatically update.....yet. Here are changes taken from Verizon update website:
Software Version: MMB29K.G920VVRU4CPH1
This software update provides Wi-Fi calling and HD Voice improvements to your Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone.
Fewer dropped Wi-Fi voice calls
Video calls using a cellular network will start with a pop-up reminder that you'll be using data
Ensures you can only make HD Voice Calls when connected to the 4G LTE network
Improvements to HD Voice Call volume
You can now register for Voice over Wi-Fi calling when roaming
Just did the update and my phone is dropping calls after about a minute and a half when using WiFi calling. Hopefully this is a known issue as it is worse now than before the update. Is anyone else having problems?
Please send me update related to my s6 edge 7.0 or 7.0.1 nougat... I want competable

Regarding Calling PLUS Service Decommission

To All Sprint Note 8 Users,
Received this message from Sprint the other day.
Important Notification
Regarding Calling PLUS Service Decommission
Our records indicate your account is using Calling PLUS, a service that provides simultaneous voice and data (LTE Calling Beta) and the ability to place voice calls over Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Calling). Your device will soon receive a software update that will remove Calling PLUS and replace it with a similar feature called VoLTE (Voice over LTE).
Here are your options for the system update:
Accept the System Update – this will permanently remove Calling PLUS from your device. The replacement service of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) will be installed. VoLTE provides the same simultaneous voice & data capability as Calling PLUS. The Wi-Fi Calling service will continue to allow your device to make and receive calls over an available Wi-Fi connection. If accepted, you will NOT be able to go back to the previous version of device software. Postpone the System Update – Calling PLUS service will remain active. Calling PLUS users may want to choose this option. However, you will NOT be able to postpone the update indefinitely. Your phone manufacturer may require an update for your phone in the near future.
For more information on Calling PLUS, please visit: www.sprint.com/cpfaq
Thank you for being a Sprint customer.
When I got my Note 8, I used Package Disabler Pro to stop all Sprint updates.
My current firmware version is:
2017-11-15
7.1.1
N950USQU2BQJB
N950UOYN2BQJB
I disabled:
Software Update - com.wssyncmldm
Sprint OMADM - com.sec.omadmspr
Software update - com.sec.android.soagent
Sprint Chameleon - com.samsung.sprint.chameleon
I have been using:
[MOD]Hotspot bypass. No root/No MSL required.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/mod-hotspot-bypass-root-msl-required-t3671061
with no issues since I got the Note 8 on 4/6/19.
It looks like they intend to forcefully push this update if not successfully through Sprint, then through Samsung.
Is this going to kill my hotspot mod? If so, is there a way to prevent it?
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.
A recent update did just kill my hotspot. I had to pay my remaining balance to get it unlocked, then create a custom apn to get it back. The guide is here on xda.
So what android version are you on Buck420? I'm also wondering how to update it and also unlock my hotspot mod back into the phone. My phone is paid off BTW and have the old Android version installed.
Any updates on this?
