Getting VoLTE & Wifi Calling to work with Metro PCS SIM - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just recently got my Nexus 6p about a week ago. I was hoping since I have Metro PCS which is owned and operated by T-Mobile. I have the "WiFi calling" option enabled and as well the "enhanced 4g" option enabled for VoLTE. However neither Wifi Calling or VoLTE work. I found some other threads with the same issue and I tried the configurations suggested bit still I get neither feature to work. This is av real disadvantage since there areas in my home that have unreliable cell signal. Can anyone please help.?

Have you set an E911 address for your account (or line) on the Metro website?
I had to do this on My T-Mobile site, and wait until the next day before it started to work.
It's a known issue with both TMO and METRO for Wi-Fi calling.

I did do that like 5 times and a confirmation text from metro that it has been stored but still nothing

Use the metro pcs APN name and the T-Mobile mmsc.
Where is says mvno type put none.

You may want try using the 3 T-Mobile ones. The second one is what is used for Wi-Fi calling.

You most likely connected to, and booted from T-Mobile's server. I would go to APN settings and do a reset (from the 3 dots menu).
If none of the default ones have an entry for ims under APN type, try adding this one;
NOTE: if the other(s) have APN protocol set to IPv4, use that, if IPv6, then use that instead. It may take some experimentation to get a working configuration.

You may want to contact MetroPCS and confirm that your account is provisioned for W-Fi calling (IMS), and if so, what the correct APN settings are. I am on T-Mobile postpaid, so it just worked after the E911 address was set.

I'll give that a shot.

I called metro customer service and they manually entered my e911 address the rep told me after 30 minutes it should say start working. A few hours went by and still nothing. It doesn't seem to work. I don't know what to do next I really need this feature.

I finally got it to work. I'm on the newest build from google (MHC19I) and downloaded the mymetro app from the play store, and updated my e911 address from the app. Next I went to the apns in the settings menu, and deleted all the metro apns than 3 t-mobile apns was present and I selected the 2nd apn which is ims and rebooted the phone. Vote is working flawlessly for the last few hours, hope this helps anyone that needs it.

Just got my Nexus 6p and am having the same issue. Can you confirm this APN currently works?
EDIT:
This method worked for me
1. Submit your e911 address to metropcs. You can the my metro app from the playstore or call customer service and give it to them so they can put it in the system manually.
2. Go into the apn settings and maually delete each default metro pcs apn one by one. After deleteing them you should notice that the apns will default to showing t-mobile's apn settings. (Ex: T-MobileGPRS, T-Mobile IMS, T-Mobile MMS)
3. Click on the first apn that says "T-MobileGPRS" that is the setting that will edit. The other apns you can leave as is.
4. Once in the T-MobileGPRS setting change the Name from T-MobileGPRS to "MetroPCS".
5. Change the the APN from fast.tmobile.com to "fast.metropcs.com" . Leave all other settings as is and then save the changes.
6. Restart

I'm thinking about taking my 6P to MetroPCS. Can anyone confirm that all these features are working correctly at this point in time? TIA.

Same for my pixel?

Hello,
I've got an s7 running nougat, going between lineage and crDroid roms running Nougat. I thought I had VoLTE and WiFi calling enabled, the options are on in my settings, calling is set to WiFi prefered, but then I was told that ims is where it's all at, and as the poster who told me this in another group, was quite right, I was wondering if anyone had an s7 going with MetroPCS and VoLTE, WiFi calling, and IMS working successfully? For completeness I've added these lines to my /system/build.prop file:
#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT
persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1
persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1
persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1

#endif
Thanks.

Hero on SmarTone Vodafone, Hong Kong

Got the Hero SIM-free last week, worked fine for calls, wifi, sms etc on a SmartTone sim, but no mobile net access at all, as no APN had been set up.
The nice chaps at SmarTone just added the APN settings for me, worked perfectly, so someone else may find the following useful.

Solution to those having MMS problems HTC Magic, Android phones in general

Hi all,
After several ROM flashes later I finally realised that the problems I was having with sending/receiving MMS was not the ROM's fault at all. For some crazy reason you need to specify any IP addresses in the APN settings with leading zero's to make each segment 3 digits long.
E.g. 010.176.057.025 instead of just 10.176.57.25
E.g. On the Three Network in Australia you can set up your Internet/MMS APN in the one APN profile:
Name: 3services
APN: 3services
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.three.net.au:10021/mmsc
MMS proxy: 010.176.057.025
MMS port: 8799
MCC: 505
MNC: 06
APN type: <Not set>
Hope this helps everyone else with MMS problems!

Official (direct from TMOUS) MMS Settings

I flashed to the NAND rom, and of course, needed the correct APN settings. I've seen a number of requests for assistance, so here's what I got direct from the TMOUS tech support.
1. You need TWO APN's in there. One will be called T-Mobile Data and the other will be T-Mobile MMS
2. go to settings, wireless networks, Mobile networks, Access Point Names
3. click on the menu button and reset to default so that you can start from scratch.
4. once cleared, click on menu and then new APN
5. Name the new APN T-Mobile Data
6. Once created, click on it, and go into it. Fill in as follows... if it says <not set> below, this means skip it and do not touch it or change it in anyway
Name: T-Mobile Data
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: <not set>
MMS Port: <not set>
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: <not set>
Once done with the above, back out, and hit the menu and add a new APN. This new APN will be called T-Mobile MMS. Once created, go into as you did above, and the settings will be virtually identical with the APN type: mms See below:
Name: T-Mobile MMS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: <not set>
MMS Port: <not set>
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: mms
Now back out of that, and you will see the two APNS listed. Only ONE will have the radio button available for you to select to activate. When you click the button, it will activate and light up green. When you do this, the 3G/H symbol may disappear for a second. Back out of there twice, and check to make sure that Mobile Network has a check mark next to it, and "Connected" Appears under that. If you see "connection failed" then it's a good idea to reboot your phone. Once you reboot, you can test MMS capability by simply sending yourself a picture message.
Have fun and say thanks.
Are you implying that it auto-switches between the two? If so then this is a fantastic discovery. Otherwise I truely see no real need for 2 APN's..
This actually makes sense. We were discussing mms on prepaid without data and it works, so we're pretty sure it goes through t-zones to send mms. The winmo roms probably do have code in them that automatically switches to send, not sure if android roms can figure it out, maybe the nexus one builds can.
Nothing to do with figuring anything out. Look at the last line of each settings, apn type.
The mms one should have "apn type mms ", whilst the data one ends " apn type default,supl "
So a default data type app like browser uses the default apn,mms uses the mms apn, and Supl I think is to do with quick GPS.
mms
I tried these settings..can send text..but cant send a picture.....any thoughts?

Atrix AT&T APN settings [CWM]

I know I had to hunt forever to find these so I thought I would post them to make it easier for anyone flashing custom firmware. Every time I reflash or do a factory reset it deletes my APN settings and apparently AT&T's technical support doesn't know how to set them up. They actually referred me to Motorola. Anyways, here they are.
You can also use the attached zip along with APN Manager from the market. I don't recall who posted the original zip so thanks anonymous internet savior.
[EDIT: Now attached is a flashable CWM. Haven't tried it yet so I'm not responsible for anything.]
Oh and from what I understand you need all 4.

Thanks, lost my APNs after flashing Alien #3 and this information was very useful!
thanks! I also flashed from alien #3 and it only gave me AT&T 310 410 as the APN.
Thankss youuu
THANK YOU so much for this listing! Someone sticky this if it hasn't been, APN listings FTW. Huge help.
here is a flashable cwm of the at&t apn's
No problem guys. Was hoping someone would find this useful. Just glad I could finally contribute something.

I'm on 2.3.4, unlocked and rooted - but the APNs are all locked for me. How do you unlock them?

Thanks a ton !! This saved me bigtime !! Alien V4 only gave me 1 apn (AT&T 310 410), and this restored all of the stock ones.
Only question is, should I select 'att us' or 'att us hsdpa' ?
Thanks !
I default to hsdpa, but both should work fine in theory
Tune it to the HSDPA I have seen better results with this setting but yes either one can be ok.. I just prefer knowing that I do have HSDPA so assume you have the same thing Cheers..
has anyone run speed tests to confirm better speeds? I have att and att tethering apns, does the hsdpa have better download or is it already intergrated into the one I have?
It should be the same. You can got to speedtest.net to confirm. When you enter the URL from your phone it will redirect you to the Android market. At that point you will be able to download the speedtest app. You may also be able to just search for it in the market.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I run the speed test on mine I was getting about 1.5mbps down and 1.0 up with wap.Cingular,and with hsdpa I got 3.2 down and up. That fairly comparable to what others are seeing? Havent tried it while connected to wifi yet...
Does this mean I will not use HSDPA when I tether?
What is the purpose of the tether APN?
reactivating data
since yesterday when i was trying to refresh my contacts, i managed to mess up my wireless data connection. i am unable to reconnect. i have reflashed and reinstalled all apns...rebooted phone etc, but cant get wireless data back. any thoughts on why?

The ATT-Tether APN wil flag the traffic as requiring a tethering plan. If the phone is un-hacked this is how ATT blocks the tethering for those who have not bought it.
The key is
APN Boadband.
which can only be used if you bought the tethering plan.
While the generally available option
APN PHONE
Is what everybody can use.

Exactly, the tether is specifically for tethering. From what I saw when I had the tethering plan was that it still had the same speed but it connects to a different system that is designed for tethering. I think the main difference is so that it doesn't route your computer to WAP sites. It uses isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular.

Check your MMS settings to see if they are correct for your carrier

I had the problem last month. Try typing phone number manually no dashes or brackets. If it goes through just use the contacts cleanup App and fix your contacts.

have you checked the actual APN settings for our carrier? I have had it in the past when the settings get messed up.
Settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>select your APN which I assume is called ATT (or maybe Cingular by the looks of the settings I found on net) and check the settings are correct, mainly MMSC for MMS.
From looking on the net the settings should look something like this
