Dont know if this is known. When I tried this originally my phone showed up as h+ during all phone calls. It now shows lte+ and the has picked up speed browsing while on phone calls. So ymmv
Yea, no voLTE for me on ATT
Idk why volte matters but it is available on TMobile you just have to enable it manually.

Better call quality and better voice coverage if it's an area where ATT doesn't have HSPA on 850Mhz or an LTE only site..... Just tried on mine, still HSPA for voice.

I have a LG G6 IMEI on my account. I then enabled the magisk module. I will say the VoLTE icon never goes away.

Hey guys, to all who are wondering... T-Mobile stores do have some stock of the blue Nexus 6 32gb today, didn't have an issue getting mine. I do have an account with a single line on T-Mobile that I do not use, so I used that account and paid for device in full ($650). Out of the box, it works great on Verizon. Voice quality is much better than Droid Turbo and iPhone 6+. Data speeds are strong (75mbps down & 30up) on LTE.
All I had to do to activate on Verizon was either let device self activate with Verizon SIM that takes about 5 minutes, or by going into Settings - More - Cellular and toggling Global mode.
The reason I made this thread is incase somebody who is like me and got tired of waiting for Google and Moto to have stock and wanted to purchase it via T-Mobile and use on another carrier. My friend works in a retail store and he said that even if you do not have an account with them, you can still buy you at full cost.
Does that mean its sim unlock?

if this works i think i will ask one of my boys who has t mobile to get me a phone out right.. i want the 64gb version tho..
My question is. Will Verizon whitelist the numbers from tmobile later down the line doh and block it from working on their towers. ?

Why would you do that? I have it set to LTE and it seems to keep onto an LTE signal longer compared to "Global" mode, which I would use if I was traveling overseas and inserted a local SIM into my device.
But wouldn't it lose signal if you leave lte coverage and drop to 3g? Since Verizon is CDMA.

Anyone else getting this? only when you are on Volte as soon as I turn off volte and call/receive call on HSPA it's ok.
I assume this could be simply buggy radio for tmobile. That might be why they wanted to delay 6.0 update.
Anyone has it or knows any temporary fix?
I have the same issue.
It's because its t-mobile

Don't think so I switched from Verizon and I have no issues with T-Mobile in fact I love it. I can use as much data as I want. Verizon is not worth the money.
There must be problem with the radio that's all.

Is weird but that wasn't showing up before, (well better say the option to click it on or off was greyed out). I restarted the phone and magically that showed up ready to click On or Off. Thank you.
I understand that volte is not supported on the 6p when it comes to using at&t.
How is the quality of calls when it comes to being dropped to 3g or h+? Right now I have T-Mobile and I like them but their coverage is struggle in my area especially at work and I'm extremely thinking about switching to at&t. The only thing holding me back is volte which sucks. I dont care much about wifi calling as I don't even use it currently with T-Mobile. Can you at least surf the web while on a call? Obviously not over LTE but over 3g/h± ? Thanks
1. Calls are no different in quality for me. I had a AT&T branded note 4 with volte.
2. Yes i can surf the web while on a phone call on 3g/H/H+. The only ones that can't are cdma carriers. Verizon/sprint and any of their mvno's.

I'm not sure about how it works on at&t but on Verizon volte works great. I can be on a phone call and surf the web over LTE. If you're not in a good service area it can be annoying because it will drop calls when you lose LTE service and go to 3g and obviously volte doesn't work on 3g. I live in a major city so this really isn't an issue for me for the most part.
I also came from a ATT branded Note 4 on ATT. VOLTE stopped the second the 6p booted with the ATT SImcard. I had no issues with non-volte voice quality, And Voice+data has always worked with ATT's GSM network. I did end up switching to Verizon simply for VOLTE. Along with the other VOLTE features. Like the faster dialing..etc.

Honestly, It was the faster dialing. (From the time you hit dial to the time it's actually ringing)
I'm an engineer for an Internet/Phone provider. And do a lot of test dials from my cell phone. Waiting ~10 seconds for the call to actually reach 180 progress was bugging me. ATT's HD voice switch did the same call in ~1sec, Just as VZW does. Sounds petty, I know. But it was driving me crazy.
So anyone know how to enable wifi calling and hd voice using 6P on AT&T?
this is going to be an AT&T specific collection thread for this carrier specific stuff like VVM and try to make wifi calling work, also users can ask any questions related to AT&T and I will try to answer them and hopefully other users can help to.
HTC lying about AT&T "compatibility"
U11 does not support VoLTE on AT&T
U11 does not support WiFi-Calling on AT&T
U11 does not support Video Call on AT&T
U11 does not support Integrated Visual Voicemail on messages app like it use to on HTC One M7, M8 & M9, you need the stand alone app which is crap...
the phone works for calls data LTE works MMS haven't test yet I don't use them....
Any comment from AT&T on any of this? We know HTC's saying it works.

Haha, AT&T never comments on these things.. and it won't work.. I have and unlocked GS8 and it don't work there either.. so no way in #[email protected] it will work on HTC..
Argh... This sucks. I'm in an area where coverage quality has dropped significantly, and I spend a lot of time in a building where almost no signal gets through from any provider. Wifi calling and texting has become a lot more important for me for that reason. I can get by without the extra features, but it's tough now what I've had them (currently using an S7 edge and Note 5).I guess that leaves me with no option but Samsung or LG (and all of the provider bloatware).

Don't activate the U11 on AT&T, once their computer "knows" you have an uncertified device you lose LTE data and are forced onto HSPA+!
Does anyone know an APN setting that will reactivate LTE?

Not a fair critisim for HTC. Even if the phone is capable like my non-AT&T S8, if the phone does not have the AT&T logo on it they will not allow these features. So complain about AT&T like I do.
I'm on at&t and I'm getting full LTE with zero issues.

See if you still have LTE during a call. The LTE icon should go away and if you go into about phone and then network, it'll most likely say HSPA. The problem is we're not getting services like VoLTE and wifi calling. In normal cases, HSPA speeds should be manageable considering the average phone call won't be very long and there's wifi nearly everywhere now. This is just bad for those in areas with poor reception. I've been doing ok with the whole issue since I never really noticed much of a difference with HD voice and I'm usually always somewhere with wifi.
My question is what did they do differently with the U11 than the 10. We never had any of these issues with the 10 being unlocked and not certified and all that bs

The importance for me & probably for many others on getting VoLTE is that I do technical support on my phone and trouble shooting while on a call takes to much time most of the time, that being said if I don't have the option to make phone calls on VoLTE means internet speeds while on a call is crap.... I really don't care about HD call clarity as far as I can here the other person, but the internet speed while on a call it is important to me the faster I can browse the faster I can provide technical support

Having a weird issue with my U11 on AT&T. I randomly lose all signal for no reason then takes a good 30 seconds for it to connect again.
It has happened at least a couple times a week mid phone call which is really obnoxious. I have seen it happen a few times when I am just browsing through my phone not on a call so I know its not just a calling issue, and I am sure it has happened multiple times when I am not looking at my phone at all and I don't notice.
Anyone else had this issue? An issue with AT&T and can be fixed by a firmware update? Or am I alone and need to RMA?
I know this thread is old, but can't we use the ATT RUU if you do what you need to do? We used to be able to go back and forth, at least that's what I did with both my M7 and M8. If you really need those features, that's what I would do.
Voice over LTE on AT&T is working on this device! I don't understand how.... Even the pixel didn't work because of AT&T's restrictions. The option is there and I can confirm it works on the Essential PH-1!

Actually mine does the same thing. I never paid attention to see if it switched to HSPA when I made a call. Is there somewhere on your AT&T account that you have to add that feature too? I'm fairly new to AT&T so I wasn't sure. I know on Verizon you have to add that feature.
Neither wifi calling nor VoLTE is working on any carrier. When you place a call, it will fall back to 3G. The only way to stay LTE is to use Hangouts or an app similar

I have Premier and I manage our company plan, so I have the ability to switch online. You used to be able to do it online on regular accounts, but not sure now. Worst case, you call CS with an IMEI for an S7, S8 and have them switch it. Then put the SIM in the essential phone. You don't need the physical S7 or S8 device at all.

SIM from my S8. Just swapped it over and things are working fine.
PLease send screenshots of LTE+ while on a call. The IMEI's for Essential products are not recognized on the AT&T network. You will get LTE+ while on a call which is easily faked with most Android phones by the manufacturer, but when you goto use the internet with the wifi radio off, it will fallback. My brother is an engineer @ AT&T, and i've confirmed this to be the case. All but AT&T branded phones will work, and a handful of off brands by those same manufacturers.
See attached. On a call and playing a youtube video at the same time while showing LTE+ in the bar and no wifi indicator. I will also say that the speed was certainly at an lte level.
Now that is interesting. In your mobile settings, what do you have set for the protocol selection?
