WiFi Calling on MetroPCS - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen a few treads addressing Wifi Calling, but they typically seem to address it in combination with other features (VoLTE, Band 12, etc) and not specifically on MetroPCS (yes, it is T-Mobile). My question:
I have both a Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. I have provided my E911 address for both phones and I can get WiFi calling to work on the 5X but not on the 6P. Both phones are rooted with the "N" build and both have the original radio (from "D") flashed for band 12.
Has anyone had WiFi calling work on MetroPCS with the Nexus 6P?

Metro PCS WiFi calling for Nexus 6P
I have a Motorola Nexus 6 that has WiFi calling with metro PCS (It shows T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling under cellular networks). I don't understand why my new Huawei Nexus 6P does not connect to Wi-Fi calling on metro PCS. The settings for Wi-Fi calling show "on" & "Wi-Fi calling preferred", but still native Wi-Fi calling doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to get Wi-Fi calling working on the Huawei Nexus 6P on metro PCS?

What are your settings for "access point names" and "network operators" on your Nexus 5x? I think that might be the reason the Nexus 6p does not connect to Wi-Fi calling. My Motorola Nexus 6 shows T-Mobile under "network operators", but my Huawei Nexus 6P shows MetroPCS. I don't find the way to have it connect it to the T-Mobile network, instead of the MetroPCS.

I was able to have my MetroPCS Wi-Fi calling work on my Huawei Nexus 6p. Just make sure you are using the APN settings for T-Mobile and of course turn on Wi-Fi calling under wireless & networks, more.

Can you take a picture of your apn? Does your mms work. Thanks
Edit : Adding custom apns doesn't stick. I can not add a Tmobile apn or it disappears or doesn't save.

I did some experimenting. If you set MVNO type to "NONE" or set MVNO Value to empty "" (Not Set) it will make the APN disappear when you save it. If I leave all the settings at their default values (the MetroPCS values) and set the MVNO type to anything other than none and set the MVNO value to anything other than none, the phone works normally (but no WiFi calling) so I don't think the setting matters. That being said, I set all the other values to the ones you suggest (T-Mobile) and it didn't work. In fact if I change from fast.metropcs.com to fast.t-mobile.com I lose my data connection.

Changing your APN settings will fix the issue. These are theAPN settings that made my Nexus 6P connect to Wi-Fi calling on MetroPCS. Make sure you save your new APN after you create it and restart your phone. After you restart your phone make sure that this new APN is selected. Internet, Wi-Fi calls and texts work just perfect.

I tried that and unfortunately it didn't work. If I use fast.t-mobile.com as the APN I lose mobile data. Even so, with WiFi enabled I did not get WiFi calling. Hopefully someone else can try it and see if it works for them.

Go into system settings and about phone.

I was able to to activate Volte and WiFi calling by editing my apn.
The apn metropcs260dun I changed APN to ims and change APN type to ims. Apn protocol to ipv6 and apn roaming protocol to ipv4.
The metropcs260 with apn type of default,supl,mms I changed the mmsc to tmobiles default. (It won't let me add it because I'm a guest. But its a couple posts up)
Apn protocol ipv6, apn roaming protocol ipv4.
The other metropcs260 with ia as APN type, change apn protocol to ipv6 and apn roaming protocol to ipv4.
Change these apns and reboot. With these setting I now get Volte and WiFi calling, and HD voice. I am able to send sms with WiFi calling enabled in airplane mode but not mms. If anybody could help figure out how to get mms over WiFi with airplane mode on would be fantastic. Hope this helps

I was able to find an easier way. All you have to do is edit the apn metropcs260. Change the mmsc to tmobiles ( make sure you have the http: // in front) , then change the apn protocol and roaming protocol. Set this as your default and voila WiFi calling and Volte after you enable them settings. Only issue is mms won't send over WiFi in airplane mode.

No dice. @M3grady2

Make sure you mvno says none. To accomplish this you might have to delete all your apns. Then you'll be able to make those changes and have them save.

I noticed all the apn deletes if you set to none. I'll delete the other apns and try again. Thanks
Edit :So I deleted the other 2 apns and now it saved. I also have a bunch of new apns.

How do you guys know when VOLTE is working? Also, my WiFi calling works good, both texting and calling, and I just changed the APN to T-Mobile settings. However, when I switch airplane mode on my Wi-Fi calling does not work at all. And yes my Wi-Fi is on, but I get a message saying to turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call. I don't know what I'm missing or doing wrong. Any body?

[Q] Speedtest.net and Nexus 4 problem

I have the Speedtest.net app on my Nexus 4 and ever since I got the phone I can't properly run a test my ATT speeds. On Wifi it works great but when I turn off Wifi, Speedtest freaks out and it either gives me a very high ping around 260ms and the download is ALWAYS 0.01Mbps and upload stays around 0.5Mbps or sometimes it won't even connect and gives me error but I do get an IP and I can surf the web so it's not a connection issue.
I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like.
My main question is why can't it pick up a regular download speed? I never had this problem with my Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks
Probably the proxy settings in your APN. Remove those and you should be good. Post up the settings from the APN you're using if you're not sure what to edit.

Delete everything out of the Proxy setting. [Edit - you can delete the data out of the Port entry directly below Proxy as well]
I would guess that AT&T probably blocks or throttles this on their side to control bandwidth.
Yup, that did it, but wow I'm getting some really crappy results.. under 1Mbps
If your account is provisioned for HSPA+ you'll probably get better speeds using the phone or pta APN. There are a couple recent threads discussing this. I'll link later if you can't find anything.

you should get around 5-7 mbps, and MMS works correctly (both sending and receiving)
If these settings DO NOT work, then you need to call AT&T and have them upgrade your data plan to allow 4G! This will be free of charge.

No no no, don't do this or use those settings.
OP, you didn't mention that you are on a MEdia Net plan (dumb phone plan) and that is confusing the people trying to help you. Any time you mention cellular issues, you should specify the plan you are using.
Now, OP I can tell from your APN that you ARE on a MEdia Net plan. Next time, I would recommend you search the subforum for MEdia Net it will bring you to this thread, where the issue has been identified and resolved.
I posted on page 3 regarding the issue, which uses the same resolution that bedoig prescribed: delete the entry for proxy.
Now, being that you are on the MEdia Net plan, you won't be able to get speeds above 875KB/s down (7Mbps), even on HSPA+:15. AT&T apparently caps all dumb phone plans to that bandwidth. You won't get LTE and the phone/PTA APNs will not work for you. Those are smartphone APNs, so you should only use the default APN (which was automagically selected for you) but you can delete proxy to use bandwidth tests.
You could switch to a more expensive DataPro plan to get marginally faster speeds, but you'll be capped at 2GB/month and there's a chance you'll be caught tethering. I don't recommend you switch to DataPro for the very slight and unnoticeable upgrade in speed. AT&T doesn't monitor data use on MEdia Net plans so you can use well over 2GB on your current plan without issue. As I've mentioned in that thread and in several of my posts, I've once used over 12GB in a month; tethering for myself, my roommate, as our many guests because Comcast was being sheisty.
Now you've got all the info you need, and see that it was already available in another thread. I would recommend this thread for deletion because it adds clutter, not value. If people search for this answer, they will be linked to both threads.
Thats not necessarily true, my apn was originally the wap cingular one as well because I was using a nexus one prior, upon changing to the 'phone' apn, everything worked.
Depends how much the op is currently paying for data plan I guess if those settings don't work.

Well if it is going by plan, I have the grandfathered 'unlimited' plan and the APN settings seemed to work for me. Yup, 12Mbps down here!
I got another problem. Once I do a test and the speedtest uses GPS. GPS doesn't switch off and kills my battery unless I do a reboot.
I'm running AOKP, so it could be a problem related to that.
That's insane

The various forums have been jam packed with issues regarding APN's and AT&T straight talk the last week or two, and I have not come across a straight answer why. I even read where there is a lawsuit going on between AT&T and Straight Talk. For some, the old APN's are needed, for others the new ones are needed, for still others neither set of values work. It seems that a lot of people who's refill card ran out or just renewed had to go with the new APNs.
I lost data too a week ago and straight talk had me re-enter my APN values and data magically came back. Now if I could only get data faster than 1 Mbps that would be nice.
These are the values that straight talk had me enter that fixed my data (I don't have the original ones from 4 months ago so I am not sure there is a difference or not):

As I stated in my post, the first set of APN values fixed my data. As I also stated in my post, I don't know if they are the same values as the ones I entered 4 months ago when I first bought my phone, because I no longer have the ones from 4 months ago to compare them two. The new APN values (the second set in my post) did not work at all for me.

My data is fine, my MMS is whats not working. Which MMS settings are currently in your phone right now, that is allowing it to work?

Is today your renewal date for your service? ST has changed there settings for the APN. You have to change your APN on your renewal date or lose data.

I found this out on the 4th when I lost data and called ST. Needless to say they didnt even tell me about this.

My service renewed on the 7th and I have had no problem with Data or MMS so far that I've noticed and I didn't have to change any APN settings... that's really odd...

So, I sent an MMS from my phone to myself with the working APN settings and it worked (Took about 10 minutes because I have a -90 to -100 dbm data signal at my house). Plain SMS texts sent from Google to my phone also work.
I hate to drag this thread back up but I have tried every single MMS setting in this thread and not one has worked. Some of the IPs and URLs listed dont reply to a ping, which makes me believe they arent even up.

I was on the phone with Straight Talk Cust-Service and he said that MMS is not guaranteed for BYOD customers. (Disregard my question if you have an N4) Did you buy your phone from Straight Talk?

The various forums have been jam packed with issues regarding APN's and AT&T straight talk the last week or two, and I have not come across a straight answer why. I even read where there is a lawsuit going on between AT&T and Straight Talk. For some, the old APN's are needed, for others the new ones are needed, for still others neither set of values work. It seems that a lot of people who's refill card ran out or just renewed had to go with the new APNs.
I lost data too a week ago and straight talk had me re-enter my APN values and data magically came back. Now if I could only get data faster than 1 Mbps that would be nice.
These are the values that straight talk had me enter that fixed my data (I don't have the original ones from 4 months ago so I am not sure there is a difference or not):

I have no problem with data, but I cannot receive MMS (I can send just fine). This seems to be a problem for multiple people with multiple phone types at the straight talk forum.
Thought I would post here. Anyone have MMS receive working? I've tried both of the above (the second one is still the Straight Talk recommended one). I lose data with the first one. I've tried a hybrid, as follows, data is fine but still no MMS receive.

This is the same issue I had... Could send but not receive MMS messages, spent 4 hours on the phone with tech support who rebuilt my account twice and couldn't get working, finally to be told they don't guarantee it to work and my phone wasn't compatible with there service. Never did get it working, finally switched to go phone and never had a problem since... That being said, the only thing I didn't try was the SIM swap.

Geez, you are replying to a post from June, and yes my post was about a change that Straight Talk did that killed data for a lot of people that week. I have never had a problem with MMS with the original sim card with the att.mvno values that I have shown. My new LTE sim card however required that I delete all APN entries, use the tfdata version of the APN as listed on Straight Talks's web site, and I also added APN Type: default,supl,mms, but I am not sure which one of those two things (or multiple things) fixed the problem, but now I have MMS with the new card.

Nexus 4 AT&T MMS won't send and receive even with APN settings

Hello guys,
I tried multiple APN settings, and I can't get the pictures to send or receive them. Do I need to do anything with AT&T and call them? It's a post paid plan.
Here's what I tried:
APN Settings
Data on (it worked a bit), then stopped
Data off (I don't have a data plan, and I don't want one, any APN settings to prevent one being added?) doesn't work
Wifi-off, wifi-on, doesn't work
Am I missing something?
Like I said, I don't have a data plan, I can't affor the $360 a year for it either since I have a ton of wifi around me.
Thank you!

As in reset them to default? I did, I end up with three of them: ATT Phone, ATT Wap, and Tracfone. I tried both the ATT phone, ATT Wap, both with cellular data on and off.
The pictures won't sent.
With my ATT HTC Inspire, data off, and wifi on I could receive and send pictures.
I'm so lost and I can't really afford to get that data plan yet

Do I need data to be turned on to send MMS, as in from the phone? Because AT&T will charge me $2 per mb, so I keep it off. The inspire had cellular data turned off from the phone and worked fine with MMS.
Should I select one of the three default APN's? Or not select any???
I also came from an Inspire to the N4. You do realize that the Inspire was turning data on to send and receive MMS and then turning it off don't you? The data used was not charged to your allotment because it is included with the messaging plan. The N4 will do the same thing, but you don't have data available because you have no plan.

I didn't have a plan with the inspire too, just had it manually turned off from my phone.
Even if I turn the mobile data on manually, it won't send, that's the problem with this phone.
I was able to add a dumbphone unlimited data plan for $10 with att, can anything go wrong with this???

try these apn settings. once you have entered and saved them, apply them by tapping the radio button next to the apn name. and also make sure you delete all other apn's. reboot your phone and give mms a whirl. if for some reason it still isn't working, try changing mms port to 8080, reboot once more and try again.
i'm using these settings with at&t gophone on my n4, and although i do have a data plan, i don't see why they wouldn't work without one.

Tried both, neither worked. The weirdest part is if you send a picture, and it's in the "sending" stage, and reboot your phone, right when the phone turns on, it will send. Then after about a minute they won't send anymore. Same thing will happen if you hurry up and try to send a pic right when it reboots.

APN settings for T-Mobile?

Can't seem to find these and wondering whether to use the settings for the 6?
Use the settings from the Nexus6 for the T-Mobile APN...
Use the default APN for T-Mobile.
If you accidentally messed with it then reset the apns to default in the menu of apn.

I edited mine to work for MMS and data. These are what you need to change/add.
APN Sytle: default,supl,mms

APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
If I add dun to my apn will this hide my tethering usage?
No! If you want to enable the no tether check, you have to edit the build.prop.
So I found this and many other threads about APN settings on t-mobile while I was trying to fix my issue of not being able to send or receive MMS messages. Long story short, now even after restoring to default settings, I can't get a data connection back. I didn't look at what my APN settings were originally, so now am I screwed?

T-Mobile APN

Please see the pictures. Shouldn't it say T-Mobile US LTE?
CHECK those slow data speeds! T-Mobile submitted a ticket but jeez this is terrible.
When I log onto my T-Mobile it says "unknown" device for my 6P. The rep gave me the whole not a T-Mobile device so speeds aren't blah. I said well it is unlocked device but has network coverage heck you partner with Google for Fi!
I receive MMS SMS etc fine just concerned about the data speeds!

I'm getting these exact same slow speeds! I thought I was the only one. I changed my APN protocol to IPV4/IPV6 added the MMSC address that's used for the Nexus 6 on T-Mobile's website but still not seeing changes.
I am getting the same slow speeds on my Nexus 6 purchased thru T-Mobile, so the fact that the phone is "not a T-Mobile phone" does not fly. As long as performance isn't affected, I do not care. Browsing, streaming music and videos are not affected by the readings from SpeedTest.
I have 6P with default APN settings. I get 50 to 30 MB/s down and 30 to 9 MB/s up.
First I would check data usage on My T-Mobile site. Then try forcing 3G (HSPA+) to see if speeds improve.
Could be an issue with the tower or you are getting throttled.

Man, you saved me. I have tried all the different APN changes and other "fixes" around the internet and none were working. I even used T-Mobiles website APN and nothing. I am using Textra so it should work but I was getting nothing. Well...I was able to get mms messages but only if I turned off WiFi but I live being on WiFi all day so that was not an option. I then came across your post and change my APN to what you have and that fixed my issue, no need to turn WiFi off. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, but this suggestion worked well for me since recently switching to T-Mobile.
The one issue I had when having "mms" in the APN Type field, I was not able to send MMS messages. Removing "mms" fixed the problem.
Nexus 6p and 5x apn for t-mobile/metropcs
Where it says apn type input this default,mms,supl,hipri,fota,ims,cbs. Worked for me im getting volte and wifi calling. Dont forget to also update your e911 address.
