so i have htc vivid from att. currently i am using it on straight talk 45 unlimited plane.
i was unable to switch to wcdma only or gsm only by using *#*$4636#*#* so its staying on gsm auto.
the worst thing is that i am only getting around 3 hours of talk time on full charge.
according to spec i should be getting around 7.
stand by time is execellent i can let it sit on desk with days without any problem. i can get around 4.5 hours of non stop web browsing on wifi.
so any of you guys have any input on this matter ?
I'm not even 100% if the N4 has it so can anyone verify this? I have horrible service on the first floor of my house (especially my couch smh...) so I need to know that this works
If it's the T-Mobile version, then yes you have Wi-Fi calling.
Yes it does
I got the white note 4 from tmobile on monday. Yes it does have wifi calling. It works well.
WiFi Calling Not Working
Just got my Tmo Samsung Galaxy Note 4 today after Pre-Ordering and Jumping from the Note 3. Decided to go with the SIM Card that came with the Note 4. Got the phone all set up and connected to WiFi and received "ER081 - Unable to connect" Error. Called Tmo and after checking my 911 info and verifying the new SIM Card was registered and such I got patched to Tech Support and reverifed everything. Popped out the battery while he reconnected the phone to the Tmo Network, same error. I have the Tmo Asus CellSpot along with another router as well, same error on both routers. The funny thing is they attempted to send some type of Verification Text Msg and I received "Content not supported" on my end. Anyone else having simular issues? I have good signal throughout my house, its just the matter of a major feature not working on a brand new phone. Tech Support said to give it till morning and call back if it still is not working.

texting doesn't work when I have wifi calling enabled
I suffered from the same problem and it seems to be a permanent problem as no amount of help from T-mobile could rectify the issue....so the phone goes back to be replaced hopefully by one with a little more luck!!! Ill be interested to hear how you get along with it!!

I found WiFi calling and text work. The voice had a lot of drop outs on the note 4 however. My wife's note 3 is perfect on WiFi calling without a hint of a drop out.

I'm starting to believe that TMO's version was not ready for release. I am now also getting the ER081 message, slow data speeds (as in <1 Mb/s with the LTE icon lit). These problems have really dampened my enthusiasm for the phone. :crying:

Does the phone intermittently show ER081 or is it permanent now?!

It showed for several hours. Then, magically, went away.

I managed to find that using another phone as a hotspot actually allowed me to get wifi calling...strangely though the cellular signal did not grey out.....when wifi-calling is enabled as preferred on others' note 4s, do your cellular signal stay on too?!
My Wifi calling took overnight to become active, probably because I'm a new customer and my account was still being provisioned. I have both the Wifi and cell signals in my notification bar.
People with the ER081....
You can try to following:
If your connected to your Wifi Network.
Go to Phone - Setting - Call - Wifi Calling - Switch it off and then back on.
This would re-enable the wifi calling feature and you will see the error go away.
Not sure why it gives the ERO81 code, but I have it come up as well.

First thing I tried. No joy. But, the problem seems to be intermittent and not permanent for me.
My problem is a little different. I get the wifi calling icon, but when I make a call, the other party can't hear me. When I turn it off, everything is A-OK. I'm not sure how to remedy this.
Call t mobile and tell them when new Sim card was activated WiFi calling was not set up perfect. Then before last step tell them to refresh you on network.
NOTE 4
I had an issue with my text messages using the SIM card that came with the phone. I returned to the store and they told me there have been issues with those Sim cards that are ISIS enabled due to the security measures. They gave me a non ISIS one and now mine works flawlessly.
I'm getting frequent Er081's on my TMobile Note Edge. I've tried 3 different ISPs with speeds from 10m-500m, tweaked the QOS and COS on each, multiple wifi's etc.
It will usually initiate the call. But it won't be long before call just drops, anywhere from 15-60 mins in. My calls are always long (>30mins), and I've yet to normally terminate a call. Of course I'm now getting asked what's going on.
On one occasion, the ER081 stayed on the drop-down and wouldn't go away until I rebooted phone (Edge).
IMHO this is a wonderful feature, but TMo is not ready for primetime on this one? Is it true Note 3's and older phones work fine?

Disable WiFi calling, go to app and clear cache and data, power cycle phone, enable WiFi calling and try again.

My ATT microcell does not work with my t-mobile note 4, using my ATT sim.
Looking for anyone else in the same boat as me.
I purchased the t-mobile note 4 a few days ago to get back into playing with ROMs.
I put my ATT sim from my Galaxy s5 into my t-mobile not 4.
It is not working properly on ATT microcell.
The behavior is, signal goes 5 bars for a few minutes, then no signal and have to reboot phone to get signal.
I will call ATT today about it.
I searched this forum, and only found this thread which I replied to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/lte-t-mobile-note-4-att-service-t3002126/page4
I finished a chat with AT&T live chat, and they just suggested to check APN settings which were already correct. I ask the ATT support person if they had any notes in their database about customers having problem on ATT microcell with other carrier's unlocked devices, but the support person said they could not find anything. So I guess I will wait and see if anyone replies to this thread, but I might have to just sell this t-mobile note 4 and get an AT&T device. But I will keep the thread open.
Just some more info.
I found that if I unplug my microcell, I still had a lot of problems connecting to my nearest tower ( very weak signal, 2 bars, which is normal for where I live. ).
But after 15 minutes or so, the note 4 totally disconnects.
Have to reboot to get it to re-connect.
I'm running 5.1.1 by the way.
What I then found is a bit interesting, if I turn off my WiFi, forcing the device to use it's 4G LTE connection, my signal strength goes up to about 3 bars, and no more disconnects!
With Verizon I started to have drops in signal all together and rarely could connect to 4g. I went and activated a sprint account and it first things seemed fixed. Now 24 hours later my phone will not connect to 4g even though signal monitors show a LTE connection, I have to force a 3g connection to have internet. This is happening in areas with great 4g coverage for both providers. Would you consider this a defective phone? Has anyone else experienced these issues? Any help would be great both Verizon and sprint seem to be at a lost about what's causing this.
I am in Germany for 3 weeks with my new Note 9 and have been having issues getting wifi calling to work with Sprint International roaming. After a lengthy call with Sprint International tech support and all the typical scripted trouble shooting ideas nothing was working. I was put on hold by rep for 5 minutes only to be told that since the Note 9 is so new they were having problems and for the time being it was not working.
After playing around some more with the phone I found the solution for the time being....You have to put the phone in airplane mode with wifi calling enabled and it works perfectly! This sure beats .20/min for calls back to the US!!!
I hope this helps someone else here in case the same situation happens...
