Some annoying issue with US LeEco Pro 3. - LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers

I bought this Le Pro3 the first day it came out on the flash sale. I really like this phone but there are some things that are pretty annoying. I fixed a lot of it but some issues are still there.
I have the stock ROM with 5.8.021s
Bluetooth.
Since I had the phone I left the bluetooth on all the time. I never had any issue with the battery draining or anything like that. But with the lasted update 5.8.021s, it seems like the blutooth turns itself off when I am not using it(when I leave my car) and turns itself on again automatically when I go in my car. I understand why they do this, it is to save battery. This would be fine if it worked. The issue that I am having is even though it is turned on by itself, it does not automatically connect to my car. This is an issue with all 3 of my car. I did NOT have this issue before. Is there a way to turn off this feature.
Gmail
I have many emails account but the only email app I use is the official google Gmail app. Randomly the "Auto-sync" will be turned off and I would need to turn it back on again. This is really annoying, when it is off, no email is pushed to me. After I turn it on, it would work for a while and again randomly the auto sync will be turned off. When I say random, it could be within a couple of hour, a day, or a few days. I can't figure out any patterns or what would trigger it. I don't use any auto clean up or anything.
Dropped call
I rarely make any phone call but I noticed that when I do make calls at home I need to turn OFF my wifi on my phone. If I don't I will loose the call within a minute. I am talking about just regular phone call, not though a special app or anything. I don't know if the phone uses wifi calling or anything like that. Even if it does, I don't understand why I would loose the call because I am usually next to the router.
If anyone has any answer or help please let me know.

I dont have any of these issues. Try restoring it from factory settings(if possible for you)

I have none of these issues, and I travel for work and actually -do- use wifi calling off and on here and there. Go to your wifi calling and make sure the wifi calling is turned off. Then do a network reset. Then make sure you do NOT have battery assistant turned on. Then go into the battery settings and make sure you do not have any auto power down or off settings turned of for any clock times.

Where do I find the wifi call feature?
Battery assist has always been off and I don't use any auto power down.

Go to settings. Click more. Inside there at bottom is wifi calling. Make sure it is off. I added screen shots

Strange, I don't have that option. What version do you have? Do you have to enable it somewhere first?

what's your phone carrier? Does it support wifi calling?
Did you happen to flash any Chinese roms to lose wifi calling feature? If you are on a unmodified software, you better contact LeEco support....

I'm on official US stock version ending in .21s
No, I didn't have to enable the setting to appear. It's simply there and toggled on or off. Perhaps it only shows up if your SIM card is from a carrier that supports it? I've used two different sim cards in my phone (AT&T AND TMOBILE), both of which support wifi calling, and the option for wifi calling was there both times.

Bought the phone on the first day of the flash sale. I have the latest stock rom and have ATT.

I just got this phone and use it on AT&T. I don't have the WiFi calling option. I did use it on my Note 5.
My biggest problem is Android Auto. It didn't work at first so I read on here that resetting it reinstalling the Android Auto app fixes it. I cleared data and cache and it worked the next two times I plugged it in to my car and hasn't since. I tried clearing data and cache again but still no luck.

As discussed you can NOT toggle wifi calling on and off with an AT&T based SIM. This has led to ongoing tech support discussions with LeEco concerning calling issues with my LeEco Pro3, US version.
Specifically, when WIFI is ENABLED (not WIFI CALLING as this isn't functional), outbound call ringing is hit or miss. There's a period of silence and either the call is suddenly answered or disconnects and gives up. If wifi is DISABLED outbound call ringing ALWAYS happens. Compare that to my AT&T branded Note 4 whereby any outbound call rings regardless if wifi is active.
Further, I have had issues with INBOUND calls where my Pro3 does not ring. It's hit or miss and happens regardless of location. First knowledge of a phone call missed is voicemail. Some have dismissed this as the vagaries of cell phones but in my case it seems to happen more frequently than the 'occasional' missed call.
I'm starting to wonder if the outbound and inbound issues are related, and whether there's some inherent software problems related to ringing when wifi is present and functional. Obviously disabling wifi looks to be a workaround, albeit a poor one since I'm on a limited data plan whereby it's easy to forget to turn wifi back on.
No outbound ringing is simply an annoyance I can live with but the failure of inbound ringing is simply unacceptable. I'll probably sell this phone and have gone back to a Note 4.

Twrp backup
Hi Can anyone please perform a stock twrp backup for their handsets. I am in a soft brick and it would be greatly appreciated.

Incoming calls through to voicemail

For some reason incoming calls have started being transferred to voicemail, as if the phone were off. I have full network coverage/bars though, so not sure what the problem is. Could it be a malfunction in the calls divert feature? When I try to check settings it says not possible.
When does it happen? When the phone is on standby power? or even when you have the phone's screen on? Try going to start>settings>power>advanced
untick the boxes. Sounds like You might have sleep of death issues
Actually, I had that problem for quite some time... I found that if I moved into a different area, sometimes as little as 1 meter, I was able to change/check the settings... Sorry, my problem was the inability to check the settings and getting an error message....
Once you are able, you may want to see if you inadvertently set the phone to forward your calls... Don't think you would forget something like that, but I've done it on more than one occassion... I wonder if that *73 turns off call forwarding like on landlines... I think I'll have to give that a try...
EDIT: Nope that doesn't work...
Ok, this is very weird. Phone was behaving like that all the time, regardless of standby, screen on off etc.
This morning I try it again and it works, and I can now get into the network services settings to check on call forwarding, and nothing is unusual there, i.e. it's not been set to always forward.
So now it seems to be working again... But I'm sure the problem's not been solved since I didn't do anything. Any idea what could be causing this. Nothing to do with my location either cause it's worked and hasn't in the same locations.

Couple of Bugs...

Few issues...
1. This one has never been addressed... Even with my G2, and with vibration set to always, my phone never vibrates for incoming texts, MMS's or emails. How do I make this work? I have yet to use an Android ROM, even stock out of the box with the phone, where this works.
2. From time to time, T-Mobile is replaced with (No Service) on the lock screen, even though I have service. This also happened with my G2.
Both issues seem to be a bug with Android, probably at the kernel level. Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks. Point 1's link seems to be for actual signal drops, which I don't really have, and plus I'd rather use 4G not 2G...
Your No Service issue is probably because you have your phone set to WCDMA Only instead of GSM/WCDMA auto. When the 3G signal is not present there is no GSM/Edge signal for your phone to fall back on.

Hm...makes sense. How do I change that? Went into Wireless Settings, didn't see it.

T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling Problems

I'm having a couple of issues with Wi-Fi Calling and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same. Whenever my phone goes into deep sleep, I don't receive any calls through Wi-Fi Calling. If a push notification comes through, Wi-Fi Calling will work again until the phone goes back into deep sleep. I have Wi-Fi always on in Wi-Fi settings, but that doesn't seem to work. The only thing that works is an app called Regpon WiFi Keep Alive, which prevents the phone from going into deep sleep. It works great, but it drains the battery. Appears to be a software issue since Wi-Fi Calling works fine when Regpon is on.
The other issue is when someone calls in, they sometimes will hear an echo on their end, but the call sounds fine for me. I'll call back and it's fine. I've brought these issues up to T-Mobile Customer Support, but they just regurgitate the same turn off router and wifi, turn on router and wifi, factory reset, etc. If anyone has a remedy to these issues, particular the deep sleep issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
try this:
Settings > Wi-Fi
hit the MENU > Advanced Wi-Fi
change "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Always"
hope that helps!
EDIT: sorry, just realized you tried that. I can confirm the echo issue, happens once in a while, people complain about it "sounding weird" and I turn off Wi-Fi calling and call them back and it's resolved. Never had that issue with my HTC One S w/ WiFi-Calling so I'm not sure where the problem lies.

Thanks code hustler. Just ran Better Batter Stats and there's an Android System partial wakelock called WifiDelayOffIfNotUsed. I wonder if this could be the reason why?

I have that unchecked as well, still the same. T-Mobile says it's the phone, but it must be the software if it works when it doesn't go into deep sleep, right? I can't imagine it being hardware related.
WiFi Calling Falls Asleep, Inbound Echo
I have the exact same symptoms on the LG G2 I just purchased. Been trouble shooting it for a couple of weeks. At least 50% of inbound calls go to voicemail unless phone was just used. WiFi calling icon is often red for 1/2 second when waking phone up. Phone never shows missed call, no ring occurs for caller or recipient and call goes directly to voicemail as if phone is off of network. Notification of voicemail is virtually instantaneous after caller hangs up from leaving message. Also, inbound calls have bad echo for the caller. I've tried multiple networks, always the same and it only happens on LG G2. I'm also using latest release of system from LG as of 1/9. As an aside, outbound calls work reasonably well, but do occasionally just drop, forcing me to redial tech support or whoever.
T-Mobile won't acknowledge that it is a known issue even after over 20 calls. Techs won't look into the problem or respond when they say they will look into it and get back within 72 hours. They blame the router or even tell me to call LG. LG says they only make hardware and base os and that wifi calling feature is T-Mobile's to support and I agree with them.
Since I depend upon wifi calling, this phone is going back. T-Mobile has been screwing people over with this phone's wifi calling for at least 2 months. I'm out of 14 day trial period due to extensive trouble shooting so must pay for 'service' but hopefully I'll get price of phone back as I plan to return through Costco and port number back out of T-Mobile. Unlike T-Mobile, Costco typically stands behind their customers which is why I shop there.
This is a great piece of hardware, although a bit pricy at this point. Until WiFi calling works though, for me it isn't worth the price for the handset plus service.

[Help?]Verizon S5 - Can't Receive or Make calls.

I'm having a constant problem with my phone. It seems like any time I leave the house and return, I'm unable to make or receive calls, until I reboot or switch airplane mode on/off. I still receive and send text/mms just fine, it's only calls. Anyone experience anything similar or have any ideas what may be going on? I have a constant 3-4 bar LTE signal.

Same problem
I am also experiencing this problem. I can send texts and otherwise use data to connect to websites and such, but cannot make or receive calls. When someone calls me, it goes straight to voicemail. When I make a call it does not even start ringing, or beep at the start of a call to indicate the connection.
I had this issue when i first got my phone. i had to call verizon and they updated something on their side and reset a few things.

Part of me thinks this wouldn't be a bad thing to have, just in case that pesky Ex decides today is the day she wants to call you. lolz
Nothing Worked
If anyone else is facing this problem, I would like to say that all Verizon could do was send me a refurbished phone. Even after a factory reset and resetting the network (on their end) worked. I hope this problem doesn't affect too many people.
Same issue - S5 will not make/recv calls

I had an issue with my S5 connecting to 4GLTE (Because of something stupid I did playing around). Chat give Verizon a ring (or chat with them on their website) and they will have you do the following:
1. Turn off WiFi.
2. Power down your phone
3. They will resync the signal (and do other secret things)
4. Power up your phone.
5. Your phone will reconnect to 4GLTE, the radio will then recycle, then connect back.
I've had zero issues since I did this a few days ago. Wouldn't hurt to try. Have your IMEI number ready for them incase they need it.
Solution, sort of

Didn't work for me unfortunately. I ended up going back to Costco and swapping it out for a new one. Back in business....for now. Thanks for the help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, 4G LTE, Verizon it can make calls and send text fine the problem is that it cannot receive calls and text. Grateful your assistance in resolving this issue.
I haven't had the issue for a while but I had to get a new phone from Verizon .

Wi-Fi calling not working on LG G6

I'm on Rogers Canada and have their device.
Set up everything correctly by doing the setup and got an SMS notification that the wifi calling is active.
When I turn on wifi calling it says enabling for about 2 minutes and then it says enabled. However it doesn't actually work. I never get a wifi calling icon in status bar.
Called Rogers they said everything is good on their end.
Tired different wifi network and even a factory reset but no luck.
Any other suggestions?

Have you tried to test wifi calling? What kind of statusbar icon are you looking for? Just wondering whether it's really not working, or you are just not seeing it because the indication is subtle.
I was all ready to say "I have AT&T and enough dead spots at my house that I can verify it works well." But now that I am looking, I am seeing some strange behavior I have never noticed before.
First of all some terms / definitions. On the AT&T variant (Rogers might be different) you will get a special icon next to the "AT&T" in the notification bar, which is a little handset with a wifi icon, when you have an active wifi call. When you have wifi calling turned on, the normal wifi meter changes only slightly to one with a little + on it.
I had wifi off and toggled it on in order to see those icons so I could properly describe them here. I just had the normal wifi icon. I made a call, and it did not indicate it was using wifi calling. But after I hung up I had the wifi+ icon and the next call did indicate wifi calling. I repeated this process several times with the same result, even waiting 5-10 minutes to see if it became enabled on its own after some time. Now, since I always normally see the wifi+ icon anytime I happen to notice it, and I rarely make calls but frequently toggle wifi, there must be something else that triggers it. Sending a text seems to do it as well as a call. And a longer wait might do it also.
So, now that I have done some more thorough experimentation, it seems that there might be a little bug there. Or it might just be related to the particular wifi network I'm on right now.
Just tested it on my home wifi for comparison, and wifi calling came on as expected within a couple seconds of enabling wifi, which would probably explain why I never noticed this happening before.

Thank you for your reply.
According to Rogers I am supposed to get that WiFi icon that tells me WiFi calling is enabled but I never do. Sounds like I should have similar experience as you do.
I have a ticket open with them and we will see what they reply with next.
Even though I don't have the icon I tried a few things to make sure if it is working or not. One is turning on Airplane mode and enabling WiFi. Go into settings and it says WiFi calling is being enabled. This always takes about 2 minutes to turn on however calling never actually works. It's like something is blocking the WiFi connection but I've tried 4 different WiFi networks. It seems like you get that WiFi calling enabled right away after connecting to WiFI.
