VoLTE on Nexus 6 on AT&T....

Don't get your expectations high (if VOLTE availability is a concern anyways) but all internal paper for sales for the Google Nexus 6 (branded as Nexus 6 by Motorola) does not appears that a VoLTE capacity will be a sales point with AT&T for the Nexus 6.
To be fair with AT&T, Voice HD is not deployed on all markets and I guess AT&T does not wanna screw up on this but yet again, the device we all know is VoLTE capable but seems AT&T might not provision on rate plan speaking the feature.
Of course this is as of know I have seen all documentation.
Might update when the device gets circulated officially.

You may be able to add the ims settings for att. I have been meaning to try this on my maxx.

The APNs Settings sound plausible, I will preorder mine by midday.
I will try to confirm with the Store's representative if there any update.
***Update****
No one at Store knows if the device will physically have the HD Voice capacity turned on.
So, I hope that via settings or APNs do the trick.

Does anyone have the ims settings for att volte?

I too am interested in getting this working if possible. Does VoLTE work on ATT with the Nexus 6?

Right now HD voice is limited to a select few handsets in a select service area ATT did not go nationwide at once like Verizon. In order to be HD it also has to be a call to another compatible ATT phone also located in the select service area.

Have to talk to them on why. You might see nexgen in apn thats their volte apn but at&t never enabled it. I haven't seen anything att volte related on shamu, just Verizon. I recall when we (Bliss) added support. I couldn't live without it. Lol had it for 2+ years. So ask att why they won't enable the APN. Get on them.

I just had a live chat with someone from AT&T and he told me if HD Voice is in your area, it should automatically connect and you shouldn't have to enable anything. I'll have to try it out and see if he was right or not.

HD voice may be in "your area" and most likely is. You just can't access it. With a Nexus 6... Put your sim in another nexgen phone and BAM you've got volte. ie gs6, g4, etc, n6-nope.

They have it, probably large coverage. They just never activated it on N6. Be specific when you call. And ask why do you not enable volte APN on the N6.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

It's enabled in alot of areas but not for the Nexus 6, put your sim in an iPhone 6 and you will see it works if its active in your area, they just never activated it on the back end for the nexus 6

If any of you are still rocking your N6 and want to give this method a shot to get VOLTE on ATT , look at my post here...

I know its a different device, but the principle is the same. I have VOLTE on my OP5t doing just that

Wanted to take a look but the URL is invalid

@EpicKip: The link was working yesterday, however I know why it was deleted: it involves using the IMEI of another device. The moderators likely believed this to be an end run around the site's rules regarding discussions about changing the IMEI, as in this case the IMEI change is done at the carrier rather than on the device.

It was left up to me whether I wanted to keep it going. I was allowed to leave it up but considering the conflict amongst mods I let it be. The method however is still working for me.

Ok so I came to the conclusion that doing this unless it is an AT&T branded Nexus 6 is not possible. However, for a brief period of about 2 minutes a few weeks ago I was able to get IPv6 working on LTE after yelling at AT&T support for an hour or so and giving them some AT&T IMEI I found from searching on eBay for a galaxy s8. It was giving me an IPv6 ping for a brief period (WiFi was disconnected and disabled on the N6 and I have IPv6 disabled on my router for the home network so I know it was from LTE).
It stopped working after that brief period when it probably recognized I was using a non at&t Nexus 6 and then I gave up.

They didnt bother me quite the opposite. They took in under consideration if it violated XDA terms. They actually ruled in my favor. I dont blame them for checking what I was doing thoroughly so it didnt violate XDA rules. However doing it this way should take the branding out of the equation. As my OP5t isnt branded.

I sent you a PM

@apophis9283 Do you or anyone else know of any ROMs for Nexus 6 that work with VoLTE (maybe for AT&T or have VoLTE at all in the ROM) specifically using the carrier side IMEI workaround? I'm running DU 7.1.2 right now and I cannot get VoLTE to work for the life of me. I see no option to disable the VoLTE icon in the statusbar icons settings either so this makes me think maybe this ROM has no VoLTE support.

yes it does

Do you have evidence of that? It has to be certified by T-Mobile so this would surprise me

It supports band 12 and does support VoLte* however the firmware does not have it enabled yet. That update along with a few other features will be in the next release roughly around January.

I FINALLY got MMS working on my T-Mobile account. I set all the settings up the way that T-Mobile says to on their website but I could only get normal SMS not MMS or group texting to function. Because of all the reports of it working and I couldn't get mine to work I finally just did a master reset and THAT DID IT. I guess the problem all along was the restore I did. When I first got the phone and did the setup I did the restore from a previous install which was a Lumia 925 running Windows Phone 8.1 and I would suspect that it doesn't transfer properly because when I reset the phone and started from scratch all my MMS settings worked immediately as well as the LTE data.

I had the same problem as you with my MMS not working. I finally did a master reset back to factory and DO NOT restore from a previous build. Good luck.

MMS, no problem, VoLTE, Wifi Calling, another story...
I got MMS to work by simply adding the appropriate MMS APN, grabbed from the T-Mobile site.
IMS is another story though, they're not provisioning it for VoLTE and the rest, because they haven't done the testing yet. It would appear (hearsay from reading various forums) that this is a bit of showdown between MS and TMo, in terms of who's going to do the work.
In the meantime, all the standard stuff works, but it sure would be nice to have WiFi Calling, I spend a fair amount of my weekends in places with no coverage, but good WiFi.
Hopefully someone will decide it's best for the "customer" if these just work, since the firmware is already enabled, it's a bit annoying to be able to purchase the phone, with all the features advertised, but not being able to get a single carrier that supports them (at least in the US, I think there's 1-2 in EU).

Have you done any mods to phone?if not turn there shouldn't be any issue, is there something in particular your having an issue with? Also there's a newer software update from the one your running of1 is the latest stock system.

No no mods not even rooted and yes have issues with a warning about the time n date not updating automatically even though it is also one app(message+) can't send mms but I can with hangouts and the factory messaging app also sometimes I get a message about no sim detected after hanging up a call I'm using a verizon N3 on the t-mobile network if ur wondering

Your ob6 should be flashed to the new of1 it fixes certain things but more importantly fixes stagefright.

Is there any tutorials u kno about to update it I can follow tutorials n I can do root if needed I've done it plenty b4 with my other phones (htc g2, lg g2, gs3 and some tablets)

Also OTA updates don't work on phone it says system update it's temporarily unavailable probably cuz I'm not on the Verizon network

ok so I upgraded to OF1 but still same issue with app nothing yet on the other issues

Has phone always done it whole time using tmobile?was phone factory reset before switching to tmobile?are you using gsm mode or global?did you update phone using smart switch or vzw assistant?do you happen to have another sim card to try to make a call see if same error occurs?(I know sounds stupid)but I would use smart switch back phone up then reset (yes I know Noone wants to do that)then I would most likely root phone and freeze the not verizon sim error with titanium backup and try gsm mode then global mode see if anything makes a difference.i don't mean to hijack thread and ramble but I've seen so many stupid things cause issues when working with customers phone at my shop

Yes phone has always done it while on t-mobile Idk about b4 I have no other service provider and previous owner has t-mobile too but I don't think he was using this app for texting I did factory reset when I bought it twice, I am on global right now and I did update using smart switch I have my wife's sim I can probably try it I wonder if it's cuz it's an original big sim that I made into mini I remember on my g2 getting a message about not being able to make WiFi calls with that card I wonder if that matters

Your problem is your using a Verizon phone on tmobil they use GSM while verizon uses cdma only sprint uses cdma also. Most of the world uses GSM. Most of the time when verizon note 3 users try to use roms from GSM carriers they get bugs where they can't get signal or text or mms.

I would try a newer sim also tmobile most t likely will give you one I have a punch fit cutting Sims and usually work but the old huge Sims are pretty dated in today's use. This phone shouldn't have a huge deal running gsm networks but like att let's say it usually favors edge or h+etc over lte but yes I have had lte on att with this phone before. After you set apns you should get decent speeds but unless you root you'll get that annoying sim not from Verizon error on top left corner I usually freeze that to get rid of it. The lte bands aren't all enabled on these they vary from Carrier to carrier but that's another story in other threads. I would possibly try another rom like I'm on which was setup for gsm use. Again that don't mean all the band's will perform like they should.

I'll give that a shot

Upgraded to 64GB N6P, signal and data speeds worse than old one

I was reaching the limits of my 32GB device so I bought what looked like a good one on Swappa. It's in very good condition and seems well cared for, and everything works fine. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed the same ROM (Pure Nexus) and versions as my 32GB unit had. The problem is that I often see H where my brother, who has the same phone, sees LTE. I often can't use the phone, where he can. It basically seems that the signal is worse on my new phone than the other ones. I've checked the baseband version and they are the same.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be? I am thinking of sending it in for support.
Thanks

Have you checked your apns? I would look and see if there are any missing or if something doesn't look right. If so manually key APN in and see if that resolves your issue.

Is your latest phone a NA model or International? You didn't say but are you on the same carrier as your brother? Have you swapped SIM cards to rule that out?
Clone your brother's APN/ settings exactly. You can either edit an existing APN or start a new one.
Both of you run an app called LTE Discovery to find out which LTE band your brother's phone is on and what his signal strength is, at the same time you have different signal strength. Are you on the same LTE band with different signal strength? Are you on a different, weaker band? Why isn't your phone connecting to the same "stronger" band? Swap the SIM card, to see if the "good" LTE band follows the SIM or stays with his phone.

I haven't swapped out SIM cards and we are on the same carrier (T-Mobile). However, I didn't think it was necessary, because my prior phone, a 32GB N6P, performed perfectly and we always seemed to have the same signal more or less.
I have checked the APNs and they are set the same.
We installed LTE Discovery. Often I would not have LTE while he would have it. A few times when he had it and I didn't, I tried using LTE Discovery to restart the radio. Once, it switched to LTE but soon after that downgraded back to H.

Unfortunately you have no warranty if you bought the phone on Swappa. You can always try a factory reset and see if that helps. Maybe the previous owner did some software mods that are causing an issue. Are you on stock? Latest build and radio? Are you a Verizon customer or another carrier? Verizon has had their own builds in January and February partly because of radio issues. Are you using a case or screen protector? If so you might want to try using the phone naked to ensure nothing is interfering with the antenna. You could also contact your carrier and check if they see anything on their end. That helped me once when I was having signal issues. You should also be able to get a new sim from your carrier for free, which is worth a try.

The phone apparently has Nexus Protect in place, and maybe there is still factory warranty remaining? The phone came stock, but I've installed Pure Nexus/TWRP installed, exactly the same as my other phone. Latest radio. T-Mobile customer. Thanks

Note FE- is still good choice in 2019?

I have Note 5 and Note 9 and consider sell Note 5 and buy used Note FE for about 420$.
This decision is good in 2019? Maybe keep Note 5 because difference between Note 5 and FE isn't too big.
Thanks in advance.

I love my Note FE but here in the states it has never been reliable on LTE for voice calls or text messages. I run it on 3G/2G to get around that issue. There is a fix with S7 Edge files extracted from the ROM and flashed over to change the country specific code (csc) and enable VoLTE and WiFi calling, but that is no longer available with Pie.
Much love, but I would not buy one today.
All this is without root of course, but I've not been one to root phones the last couple of years.

Exact opposite for me. I use it on AT&T in United States and have no issues with 4g. Yes I am rooted.

I really like this phone. I have an S7 Edge as a hot standby AND an original Pixel XL also just sitting there. This has the best form factor and I dont want to give it up.
As such I've been seriously considering rooting all week. I may pull the trigger to the same ROM you are running (I found the thread) tonight or sometime this weekend. If / once I get it done, I will 'report back' on network performance soon.

Technically I'm not on T-Mobile (I'm on SIMple Mobile) but it is "by T-Mobile" and uses their network. My friend has another Note 7 purchased at the same time in a different area of the country, and is on T-Mobile proper and has the same issues.
On Pie, I am using an app called "4g Fix" from the app store to switch to "WCDMA Preferred" and that solves the phone/text issue with LTE, by disabling LTE. :\
Going to try rooting and running "superfast9" https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-superfast9-stable-note-7-fe-android-t3921332
Edit: On Oreo, I used to mitigate the issue by loading in the CSC file from my S7 Edge. I tried that on Pie but it doesnt work and won't enable VoLTE.

The best way I found was to Odin back Oreo, if Prenormal exist do the changing date trick in and to activate OEM unlock. Then intall TWRP..root..then flash rom.
