I'm having trouble with LTE settings using this phone. There are "LTE preffered" and "3G only" settings only, yet I can't get it to connect to LTE without going into secret code.
I'm able to get it to work with "LTE band specific (in my case, it's 8) only" using secret code. Comes the problem when I want to make a call since LTE can't make nor receive any call and need to be dropped to 3G (or H). And since the settings didn't allow the radio to drop to 3G, I can't make any call nor receive any at all. It's leaving me with only 1 choice to change it manually when I need it.
Is there a more convenient way to have the "LTE preffered" work? I want to keep the LTE setting and make it dropped to 3G when I receive or make a call. Thank you.

Anyone experienced that the phone just stop receiving any call at all but the signal bars are full?

I read these but it mentioned N5 only,
but I did experienced this problem couples of time in different days and it last for so long that I didn't know at all
(only found out when someone did leave me voice mail and it popup)
I am using 4.4.2 rom with hybrid modem LTE enabled,
I am trying with LTE disabled right now and see if the issue fixed.
If you dial *#*#4636#*#* it'll bring up a menu. Click phone information and make sure if you wanna use LTE make the selection to LTE/GSM auto not LTE Only. I've has that problem and i could receive calls or texts. If you wanna go back to HSPA+ use WCDMA Preferred. Hoped that helped

I use LTE/GSM auto already and this still occurs.
I am turning LTE off right now cox missing calls is more serious than having higher speed

It could be your radio, hopefully switching to use LTE every time you want to use it isn't that much of a pain

Hi.
I'd like to use always 4G network for data, but i'd like to receive call (i can't use voice over LTE with my operator). I've seen that if i force 4G only network, i can use internet in place where i not even receive 2g. But if i force that, i can't call on normal GSM network.
I think that we could force a 4G connection maintaining the possibilities to call, simply denying the phone to switch to 3g if not for a call (i'm thinking that in source code there is a 'if 2g\3g signal is stronger than 4g signal, switch', or something like that*. We could change only that, so technically this is not a 'LTE Only' thing). I've searched on the Android code but i've not find anything (i can only for LTE, losing call on GSM -Using Xposed, but we can use anything that works-). Idea?

I've seen that there is a 'WCDMA preferred' option. With this, the phone can switch to 2g if there in no 3g connection, but if there is a 3g connection weaker than a 2g connection, it remains on 3g. I think we could do a similar thing for 4g.
Your operator has to support calling trough 4g. And there are almost non that support it (yet). You say it yourself, you can't use voice over LTE with your operator. It's not possible.
I don't want to call on 4g, I want to switch on 3g only during a call. Like now, if I'm on 4g and i make a call i switch on 3g.

Doesn't work. I mean, it works, but this is not a solution: 4g is faster also where it is weaker than 3g, you can try (in particular for ping and reactivity). Of course, if you don't have any LTE coverage, this will not work...
I'm looking at something like 'WCDMA preferred', for 4g... I know that this doesn't exist, but i'm not able to implement myself. I've search on Android Source code but i didn't find the function that handles that operation (i could have use Xposed to modify that)...

I'm using this method for months now.
Am using 4G/LTE for Data, and whenever I received or make calls, it will auto switch to H/H+.
After the calls ended, wait a while, it will come back to 4G/LTE again.
And whenever I don't have any 4G/LTE coverage, it will auto switch to H/H+.
Now, am not sure what's your concern is though.
In device info I find several options for the network mode: lte/gsm, lte/cdma, or lte only, but I want something like lte preferred. If I switch it on lte only, phone calls or sms stops working (can't receive or send). Is there anything I can try to prefer lte all the time? My Vodafone carrier in Romania doesn't support VoLTE and whenever I make a phone call it goes to 2g, then it takes a few seconds to switch to "H", but it almost never goes directly to 4g. I'm also rooted so some exposed module or something similar would also be appreciated.
Basically what I'm looking for is to prioritize lte all the time, but switch to 2g/3g when I make a phone call or there is no 4g signal. Can anyone help me out pls?
Hi guys,
I am with Freedom Mobile - Canadian provider. I've purchased the phone from Amazon, - US version. Connected it yesterday. Worked fine, but had no LTE. I played with some settings and now I ONLY have LTE and cannot make voice calls. Whenever I try to make a voice call phone is trying to connect, but fails in around 30 seconds telling me Network is not available for voice calls.
Was wondering if anyone experienced similar problems.
Additionally, would you mind sharing settings under the below 2 menus, that work for you for Freedom Mobile:
1. Mobile network settings -> "Preferred Network type"
2. In the hidden menu, dial: *#*#4636#*#* under "Phone Information" what is your's "Set Preferred network type" selection?
thank you, I would appreciate your help.
Flash modem from your OS once again. My collegue had similar problem. Tapped something what shouldn't be tapped and disabled 2G, 3G networks. Does Freedom Mobile support VoLTE technology? If not then you will not be able to call via LTE.
Hello there. So i just got a Nokia 6 and i'm having the same issue. Can't make or receive calls but i can send and receive texts and can use the LTE service for data. So i'm supposed to flash what exactly? And any resources i can refer to for the flashing process? P.S: I'm a noob
just got the phone yesterday and updated it to the P beta. everything works amazingly well for a beta in my opinion, BUT i cant receive calls. outgoing calls, texts, web and apps are just fine.
spent almost 2 hours at tmobile flipping all the settings around and no luck. any ideas would be appreciated.
Same issue here bro...Incoming don't ring but I get voicemail notifications.... Really annoying, even if it is a DP.
Turns out the beta doesn't play well with the essential LTE. Switch to 3g and calls will come through. Hopefully it doesn't take long to find a work around for it
I believe the people having this issue have volte enabled...try and disable volte (it's broken anyway and more than likely why calls won't ring through) and see if that works
Got same issue... My experience was that I could solve the problem with reboot.
Issue came after playing on settings for mobile network.
Is meaning, when you do this you have to reboot afterwards otherwise you can't receive calls
Try it.

Tried rebooting multiple times while changing settings around. The only way I can get the calls to come through is by going without LTE completely.

Settings/network settings/mobile network/advanced/enhanced LTE?
I had the same issue and to fix mine I just enabled Wifi Calling.
When on wifi I didn't get a call, just missed call notification. After enabling wifi calling, it comes through without issue.
I tested calling off wifi and on wifi and all calls come through good now.
This could be similar, so you guys might want to look at that also.
Good luck!
Heard from a few that this was solved by going into phone app settings -> calls -> calling accounts, then turning on "receive incoming calls". Seems it's disabled to save battery? Can't confirm as I just flashed to try it out and then went back to 8.1 because I like themes too much. Lol.
I'm on Sprint and was never able to make or receive calls regardless of Network settings in the easily accessible options menu.
The following fixed my issue. You can access this menu without downloading an app but I forget how so it's easier to just download the free app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
I had my network mode set to LTE/CDMA when first using this app, and somewhere in the middle I changed it to CDMA but I'm not sure how much that impacted the actual fix.
These were my steps. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause to your device as I'm not sure if messing with these settings is foolproof or not.
First, opened previously linked app "Force LTE" then under "Set Preferred Network Type" I changed to CDMA only. Enabled/disabled airplane mode. This seemed to do nothing as LTE was still showing in statusbar.
I then chose CDMA auto (PRL), airplane mode on/off, didn't seem to do much either. LTE still showed in statusbar and couldn't make calls. Also "Voice Network Type" showed "Emergency Calls only" inside the app.
I then chose the 3 dot menu and chose "select radio band". I changed that to United States, without resolving problem. Then selected "Cellular 800" and this may have solved the problem, but I continued on and selected PCS, fiddled with some settings in Phones settings menu. Was finally able to receive calls and my signal indicator showed 3G. In app Voice Network Type was listed as 1xRtt. I decided to select radio band once more and chose Class 10.
Calls were still functioning fine. So I went into Main settings menu and changed mobile network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA. LTE kicked in and calls still work!
Again, these settings may only work for Sprint hence the PCS Network option, and I believe Sprint may utilize the 800mhz frequency. The app might show you different options depending on your carrier. I don't know.
Anyway, fully functioning! Woohoo!!

I don't have anything in my settings that says "enhanced LTE" .
Tried using the 4g/LTE and the LTE only options. Neither would let calls through.
I have this problem using the Essential PH-1 with Android 9 Pie in South Korea on the KT network. It should be fully compatible, according to radio specifications, however it only works when I change the following setting:
Settings | Network & Internet | Mobile network | Advanced | Preferred network type | 3G
This is not ideal, since it makes the Internet slow, but at least I can make/receive voice calls. I submitted a support ticket to Essential requesting their official help (I'm well within warranty).
I had the same issue when I use my Att prepaid plan. The problem is caused by wrong network type, you can send text and browse internet, because they use the different channel. My PH-1 wrongly recognized the sim as CDMA/LTE mode, just switch it to 4G/LTE, it will be work. Go to Settings, then search "wi-fi calling", point "advanced" then you can see an opinion "Preferred network type" if you are ATT or T-mobile user, and your preferred network type is "LTE/CDMA“ then your phone cannot make call. Switch it to "4G/LTE", you phone will be work. BTW, Verzion uses CDMA, so if you are Verzion user, CDMA/LTE will work for you phone.
