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.

[Q] Isis 3g 4g issue - SOLVED - at least in my case

I'm having issues with Isis. I have an enhanced SIM, I've installed rootcloak with Isis added. But I keep getting the message "Your phone can't connect to the 3G or 4G mobile network right now. Please try again later." I've tested my mobile connection and it works... Any ideas? I've searched this issue and can't seem to find a solution. I'm currently running the leaked 4.4.2 (BeansTown106) version with Isis 2.01.00-build.15.30
Same issue here
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Isis tells me I don't have an enhanced SIM, even though I was running it fine on 4.3 and I do. I think it's just not compatible yet and they are really slow. I emailed their support a few days ago asking when they would be compatible with KK and got no response whatsoever yet.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I dont have a enhanced SIM (nor do I know what it does/is) but I have installed the leaked 4.4.2 rom and the nc2 firmware. I lost data connection as well. I have the 3g/4g icon pop up but the arrows are not there and it will not connect to the internet. I have tried using mje. m19, nc4, nc2 modems to no avail. I have also tried using Hyperdrive ROM and the 4g icon wont even show up. It was working fine on my stock rom yesterday before I upgraded to KK.
Anybody with some insight on this topic, help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
PS I searched through several forums and have not found any solid answers.

To the best of my limited knowledge, the enhanced SIM is really just the SIM that comes with the new phones. I had an old SIM that I transferred to my N3 and it didn't have the secure element that is required to run Isis. It's interesting that it works on 4.3 but not 4.4 after my discussion with the Verizon rep the other day (when he almost busted me for being rooted). He asked me what version I was on and I told him 4.4.2 and he seemed to think it should work.

Solved - at least in my case
The issue in my case seemed to be the theme I had installed. I had to restore a nandroid that I had made prior to installing the All Backs Black theme. After the restore I was able to open and complete the Isis set-up...

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.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
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.

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

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.

@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.

Nexus 6p cannot receive calls if LTE is enabled

Hello everyone!
I hope you can help me because it is driving me nuts. I got a brand new nexus 6p and since day one i cannot receive calls while lte is on, i can make calls but it takes a while to connect. If i switch to 3g, the problem goes away, but i think it is also affecting battery life. I barely manage to get full day with medium usage. I tried custom roms like CM but still the same, yesterday installed android N, so will see if battery life improves, so far not bad... I tried changing apn but no luck either. Also tried flashing different radio, no luck.
Tried calling google but since the phone was not bought from google store they cannot replace it. I am pretty sure it was an update that f#$%&d it up, because i tested the phone before buying and it was receiving calls, but after update all changed.
I hope you guys know a solution to my problem.
Thanks!
If an update has caused your issue, do you know when your Nexus was updated? Was it updated by the seller before the deal was made or did you perform an update after you made the purchase? Who is your carrier? Not sure if it will help but if you are with Verizon, do you have VoLTE enabled on your account and have Enhanced 4gLTE enabled on your device? What version of Marshmallow were you using before switching to Android "N"? Also, are you rooted with a custom recovery or are you using stock Android MM? Have you performed a full wipe and fast boot flashed the latest factory Marshmallow image to see if that changes anything?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
The phone is european model and i am using it in Lithuania, carrier is Bite. Phone was on 6.0 when i got it and then it updated maybe 4 or 5 times. Only next day i noticed the battery drain and that i could not receive voice calls. Also if i dial *#*#4636#*#* only usa, japan, cellular 800 and pcs comes up, no euro band. I tried everything, stock, full wipe, custom roms, different radios, maybe i am flashing wrong stuff?
I have tried flashing android n and also tried ota, still cannot receive calls, well sometimes it works for few times and then i cannot receive calls again. I tried flashing a rom which brought back an option to select euro band but that did not help either. At least the battery seems to be better now, i got 4 hours screen on time and after 12 hours still had 20% left.
Which Nexus do you have? XT1100 or XT1103? Just out of curiosity, do you know what bands you are normally connected to? LTE Discovery from the Play Store is a great app to see your current band information. BITE - Lithuania uses bands 3, 7 and 20 for LTE. Band 1 is for UMTS. After doing some research I see that BITE does not have VoLTE on their networks. Another question, what do you have your "Preferred Network Type" set as? Global, LTE/CDMA etc..? We can figure this out. Just need to keep working through the process and eliminate what it cannot be that is causing the issue. I'll keep looking for you though and post back when I find something for you. If anything comes to mind or if something you do changes let me know.

The model is H1512. The preffered network type is lte/cmda/umts auto (prl).
Not sure how to use lte app, so i have attached a screenshot.
I really appreciate your help!
Can you check your "About Phone" section and see if your IMEI and MEID are actually there and not all zeros or something funny? Next, in "Apps", disable Google Connectivity Services, uninstall all its updates and then let the Play Store update Google Connectivity Services. Let me know what that does.

The IMEI is fine, also there is no gsm emergency calls only in the menu and I had chroma installed and that did not help, but i cant remember if i tried changing band while on chroma, so i will try that and will let you know.
P.s. uninstalling google connectivity services did not help.
Not only you, I am on sprint in Chicago, and currently experiencing the same issue you have. No one has a clue as to why either. LTE = No calls for me.

Considering purchase of 6P directly from Google store...
This discussion is EXTREMELY interesting to me. A big thanx from me to everyone that has contributed to this thread.
I am a professional programmer and computer geek. I am currently suffering with a retail, locked down, bloated Samsung Galaxy S5, and was considering replacing it with the DEVELOPER version of the Nexus 6P, purchasing it directly from the Google Store. What I'm looking for is a developer phone that has trouble-free 4G/3G voice and data connectivity, at least 16 GB of RAM, at least 128 GB of internal storage, and a microSD slot would be nice to have.
Looks like I may have to consider other options, as it appears that the 6P is not all that it's hyped up to be.

If you are buying it from google directly then you are safe. If it happens that you receive a faulty device they will send you a new one and only then you send them back the faulty one.

Why get international version

I have been looking into getting 935F in order to root it and be able to flash customer ROMs and to be able to uses titanium and TWRP for backups, etc.. With custom kernels now available, might even be able to use duel/multiboot again.
In going through the international threads, I have run into US users getting 935F's, but then getting Samsung Pay to work - which means the device cannot be rooted, as it trips KNOX. They then wish they could have other features like WiFi calling that they already had with their US 935T.
What I don't understand is why anyone would get the 935F in the US if they were not going to root it, as the locked bootloader 935T has Pay and the other features they would like on their 935F. What am I missing here?
Good question (I have a 930F that I use rooted on t-mobile). Without root, my reasons for liking it might be improved battery life and performance. Another would be the dual sim model could be useful for some purposes. The next reason might be cost (as t-mobile officially sells the 930T for $670 new while the 930FD has been on ebay for $530 new. Potentially, if the person traveled abroad, the flashable cscs or non-tmobile volte/wifi settings may work better with international carriers.
I switched over from a G935T to an F model for a few reasons, 1: Speedy'er updates (Or the ability to apply new updates from any region); 2: Option to root if I want to; 3: Identify unsaved numbers option
I managed to get Samsung Pay working. I did lose WiFi Calling (Might be able to get it back as some firmwares such as the one I'm on (AMO) has it. I also lost VoLTE. I wish I still had those two features but I never used WiFi Calling and don't browse much while on a phone call anyways, and if I do, I still get standard 4G while on a call. Thinking about it, I also lost native video calling and rich communication messaging, but those are also baked in, just haven't figured it out yet. Anyways, I basically switched for more freedom and options. There is way less bloat and it seems a bit snappier than the SD version.
Have any questions? Ask away.
Having switched from a G935T to a G935FD, I would say the two aren't even comparable in terms of performance. The FD is MUCH faster, has less bloatware, and practically never hangs or pauses. The phone is just in a different world. Add to that more than 2x the battery life, and it's not even a contest. I'd love to root and add some other features, but I find Samsung Pay more useful and practical for the time being.
And after spending some time with the FD, I'm still kinda chafed about the T version, like I got scammed, having read all kinds of great things about the S7e that were just never delivered. And then the FD exceeds all those expectations.
So there's that....

And as for VOLTE -- I never used it, though I wouldn't mind if it was available. For wifi calling, I just have my number set to forward to a Google Voice number (also used for voicemail), and with the Hangouts Dialer, I can answer over wifi or LTE just fine when I don't receive a call or signal inside a building for some reason (which is rare).
Oh, and my download speeds are testing out at 3x what I was getting on the T version. Not sure why that is, but the speedtests don't lie. I'm getting 60+ Mbps down, 20+ up.
Tmobile version is Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820
and g935fd is Exynos 8890 Octa with dual SIM card,
I just want to ask people which version is better but now as you said like exynos 8890 is better

Thanks for all the responses above. Waiting on possible root on 935t, but looks like may be only temporary root.

Do you have any issue connecting to band 12?
If you don't mind, can you point me to the Samsung Pay thread for the FD?

Not sure about band 12. I'm in New Orleans, and I seem to be on band 4 most of the time here. Reception seems quite a bit better than my G935T, for whatever reason.
For firmware, any firmware for the G935F will work for the FD. I followed this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-...ernational-t3340821/post67009736#post67009736
And I updated with the most recent version in this thread, along with the Spanish CSC_HOME file, as Samsung Pay works in Spain now.

Be sure to wipe the cache partition after upgrading.

Want to confirm that pay will only work on un-rooted 935f and fd
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app
My understanding is that's correct. Once the Knox counter is tripped, Samsung Pay no longer works. Flashing a stock rom appears to be OK.

I don't have any issues with band 12 on my 935FD. Everything seems to be exactly as my Tmo Note 4.

Have you tried any of the firmware that has WiFi calling and can be set up for Samsung pay?

Which firmwares are those exactly? As far as I know, WiFi calling isn't available on International version and I have my Knox tripped already.

There is a thread in the international section for setting up Samsung Pay on different firmwares - think there were references in it to firmwares that also had WiFi calling.
Update - think it was a CSC thread instead

Quick question about Samsung Pay. Once you trip Knox it's unusable forever or just until you run the stock ROM again?

Knox is forever. If not tripped, you can go back to official firmware and it will still work.

That is apparently why %#$=<<&& Samsung also locked the bootloader in the US. I stopped using it for that reason even before I rooted - s___ them!

This is why I always make it a point for me to never become too dependent upon something. Same thing with investing so much into a service where you can’t go without it. Eventually they will do something you don't like and you will have no choice but to accept what they want. I know root and android pay didn't mix so I won’t bother with Samsung pay either. I find it faster to pull out my wallet anyway or I prefer to pay with cash. Than to pull out my phone, login and start fiddling with it to pay. I'm looking to get a Note 7 and the only thing I hope is that the Iris scanner won’t be disabled when I root and Knox is voided. Other than that I never used knox for anything.
Samsung pay may play a reason in why Samsung Locked bootloaders in the US but i also think carriers are to blame. We know Verizon and AT&T do it for money and there business users and now T-Mobile has started. Even though T-Mobile claims it was Samsung i think they did it to stop people from tethering and hiding it using root. Remember they had wrote that article making rooters seem nefarious and stealing data lol. This could have played a role in them now locking their bootloaders to prevent root in my opinion.

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.

Any chance you are using T-Mobile? I am using my Note FE with T-Mobile in the US and have the same problems. I am on Pie and currently rooted, but the issue existed before. I hope that the Note 10 is actually worth upgrading to

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.

Ty for the heads up on stupid PreNormal (so many times I waited a week until I learned about the date trick!) and advice, its much appreciated. I'm inspired and am running a full backup.
Hope you get everything up and running, if you need anything I will help as much as I can[emoji106]

I'm testing a customized version of Superfast9 with the TMO csc (osc, technically) from the S8 built in. So far I have VoLTE and WiFi calling and once I'm sure that "weird LTE telephony intermittent connectivity" truly isn't happening, and the original author has OK'd it, I will share it.
@butchieboy Totally, with VoLTE and WiFi Calling too.
I dont have wife calling..volte yes but no wifi calling. Tried to activate it with shortcut master but didnt work
