Hi All.
Have my MXP on Verizon. Love it. However, I'm currently having some issues - I can't get MMS when I'm on wifi - I get notifications for the messages, and then get "failed to retrieve message" and then it just never shows up.
I'm using the stock messenger app.
I know textra has an option to "fix" T-Mobile (where this happens apparently), but I don't really want to use that because it uses a different text message database than the standard one, so I can't launch tasker events based on SMS/MMS when I use it.
I have unlocked the "secret" menu and enabled HD calling, and I switched my "preferred network type" to LTE/CDMA (since I'm on Verizon) in an effort to allow voice and data concurrently. It seems to be working. Not sure if this causes an error when I'm on wifi.
I also have Adblock Plus. Per this thread I just changed my APN to set MMS port to 8080; I'll see if that affects anything when I get home.
However, as I have not tested this, I am wondering if anyone else has this problem? As I type this, I'm now thinking that I may only see this when sending messages to/from iPhones ... I'll do more testing tonight and update, but I'm hoping someone sees this and is like, "Oh, I know exactly what it is ...."
EDIT:
So this didn't fix anything. I have to turn wifi off to get mms. REALLY ANNOYING. Anyone at all see this and have any solutions? Anything?
Thanks.
never had problems since day 1 if I was on wifi or not to send MMS. Maybe try factory reset.
To my knowledge, you can't get regular MMS over WiFi. You have to have your phone data on too. I have found no solution to automatically turn phone data on when a text comes in. Every solution I found doesn't work for Lollipop.
i just got the same thing but after i updated to 6.0 so figured it was because of the update
So I have cellular data on and wifi on. I don't know if there's a setting I'm missing that turns data off automatically when connect to wifi ... anyone know anything about this?
Either way, if I'm on wifi, I get no MMS whether using default messaging app or hangouts.
There is a know issue with any app that accesses the MMS database on 6.0 ....ie Pushbullet.
Let me see if I can find a link
Found it...

I'm hoping this is the right place to ask, haven't posted here before, but I'm stumped. I recently upgraded to the LG G6, it's on Bell in Canada. Loving the phone, but having one big issue. When I'm connected to WiFi, I miss calls and texts, it's not consistent but often enough that it's a problem. As soon as I disconnect from WiFi I get any delayed texts and voicemail notifications for any calls I had missed. I'm just running stock, and these are the steps I've tried so far:
-changed sim, nope
-factory reset, nope
-tried sim in another new G6, nope
-turned off VoLTE in call settings, nope
-cannot find a WiFi calling setting or would have disabled as well
-checked with Bell and LG and both say they're unaware of any related issues and advised wait for patch.
Anyone have any other suggestions that may help? I really like the phone, not a Samsung fan and I'll wait for updates if need be, but maybe it's a quick fix in the settings somewhere. *fingers crossed*
Thanks!
WiFi calling setting is in the call option inside your system settings.
Could be your WiFi/router isn't good enough to handle that.
Sounds like a port forwarding issue quite honestly. Probably a Wi-Fi router issue more than the phone issue.

I don't have a WiFi calling option in my call settings, it should be directly under the volte toggle I thought, but can't find it anywhere. And happens on multiple WiFi networks. My home network itself is getting about 50mps download speed when I run speed test on my phone on WiFi.

That's very strange that you don't have a WiFi calling option. Is WiFi calling a region specific feature as well??
If I'm not mistaken, I think it's carrier and device specific. I checked through my Bell plan and I don't see it listed as a feature, but I know the G6 supports it. But I checked everywhere and can't find anything pertaining to it. Odd.

Maybe that is the issue. Perhaps the LG Software is trying to accept calls and texts through the WiFi signal but something that your carrier has done with the blocking off WiFi calling on their end is causing the bug. I'm not too savy with the way Android and it's coding works.
VoWiFi is carrier specific feature. though LG G6 supports it , carrier can disable the feature as you bought phone from him. you can go to hidden menu (277634#*# or *#546368#*872# , here 872 is the phone model , replace it with yours) and turn off VoWiFi.
I have read a bunch of threads all over and done some searches but cannot seem to find any clear definitive answers on a few things. I am looking at grabbing the Samsung unlocked S8 and want to know for sure if anyone can confirm what does and does not work on VZ with that model? I am pretty sure of the following, but anyone who has one on VZ and can help me out would be greatly appreciated.
- WiFi Calling does NOT work on VZ with the unlocked version. I am pretty sure based on what I read on this.
- VoLTE and HD calling DO work on VZ. Again, pretty sure from what I read but it is hard to find definitive answers anywhere.
- Any app based WiFi calling would still work (so using stuff like Signal or any app that uses data to make calls could make WiFi calls even if the VZ network WiFi calling does not work?)
- Video calling DOES/DOES not work? Cannot find any answer to this.
- Voicemail still gives you notifications/works like normal? I think I read someone say that Visual Voicemail does not work, so the app that lets you just tap and see and instantly listen to VM would not work and you would have to dial *86? Not sure here and clarification is appreciated.
- Any other significant issues or things that don't work or are affected that I have missed?
I think it is pretty bad that phones can evolve with tech and you can get a phone several years and models newer than an older phone, but because one is carrier locked version, it has a ton of features that the newer phone can do, but won't because of carrier BS. Again, all help is appreciated. Thanks!
Visual voicemail does not work. HD calling works. I dont do wifi calling. I dont do video calling. I have unlimited data and mobile hotspot works flawless.

Did you decide to purchase the unlocked S8 for use on Verizon? Has it been a good experience? I'm thinking of buying one since I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan and I'd like to be able to use the mobile hotspot without having to root. Although I don't travel too much, having the option to use my phone in another country by popping in a local SIM is definitely an attractive feature. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I just picked up on those Amazon Prime phones, LG V35 unlocked. I was sure it would work with project fi and even project fi said it would work. Well, it really does mostly work. I was able to activate it and do just about everything, but I noticed 2 things:
1. No option to enable wifi calling
2. No access to visual voicemail.
I figured I could just install the regular google phone app to gain access to those things, but the google phone app doesn't enable that stuff. And when you make a call, it appears to switch over the LG phone app.
I don't see why this shouldn't work with Project Fi, but I have no clue how to enable those things. Calling on Tmobile and sprint work, texts etc work, it's just those two things that don't work
Would really love to use this version since it's quite a bit cheaper than buying the Fi version.

Same exact situation here...times three. I bought three of them for family members hoping there would be some way to make the Amazon V35 fully-functional on Project Fi. No visual voicemail would be acceptable, but lack of wi-fi calling is a deal-breaker for me. Any idea if it's even possible to get that working on this phone?
Ironically, wi-fi calling IS installed on the phone (visible by viewing installed system apps), and when I am in an area *with* wi-fi but *without* cellular service, it is trying to connect to wi-fi calling but can't with an "ER081 - Unable to Connect" error.
Any options here?
Thanks much!
Thanks ! It looks like it's just a matter of removing a couple of the lg apps and replace them with Google apps, like the dialer. I don't know if this is even possible or not so I may just return the phone. It would seem like just replacing the dialer would make a big difference though....

I have the At&t V35 and I was able to install the Google Dialer directly from the Play Store. This is the first non Google device I've ever used that let me install the official Google Dialer from the Play Store. It really does make a big difference.
Can you remove the Amazon stuff?
Ok, so I made some project on this -- I got visual voicemail working. All I did was download the phone app, made it default for phone , gave it some permissions and I got all of my visual voicemail.
As for wifi calling, I can't get it to work. I downloaded google connectivity services (strangely, you can't search for it in the play store, but if you do a web search, you'll get a link to it in the play store), I gave it all permissions, etc, and actually I got ONE wifi call to work, but after that I just keep getting "ER081, Unable to connect." So wifi calling doesn't work and I'm not sure what the trick is to make it work. Everything else SEEMS to work, but since wifi calling doesn't work, I wonder if there is anything else that is broken that I'm not seeing.
I don't think you can remove the Amazon apps but they aren't intrusive at all. I got this on prime day and I'd keep it if I could get that wifi calling to work :/
How do I test Wi-Fi calling. Have the same V350ULM on verizon.
I have been playing with hidden settings but really don't know what I am not I am doing and seems like a lot of damage can be done in there using the "Nova Launcher" using the activities widget.
Warning: can really mess up the phone. Be careful and let me know what you find. I am also looking to enable video calling on Verizon.
Thank you
So I got this device from Amazon, and I've had nothing but issues with it.
Originally got it for Verizon, as it says on the Amazon page that it supports the Verizon network, which is partially true. I can make calls and texts and use data on the Verizon network, but literally don't get ANY of the advanced calling features, such as Premium voicemail, or WiFi calling, which is what I needed.
After looking into it, I determined that it was becuase it was an unlocked phone, and I am just not going to get those services to work on the Verizon network.
So my thinking was to switch carriers to Google Fi, since all they do is service unlocked phones. I got the SIM card yesterday, downloaded the Project Fi app, activated and ported over my number from Verizon. All seemed good, except as soon as I finished activation, I kept getting hit with this WiFi Calling Error: ER081 "Unable to Connect".
I first attempted to use only WiFi to do stuff on the phone. I turned on airplane mode, then turned on WiFi, and started testing. I first sent and received SMS and MMS using the standard Android Messages app, and that worked fine.
I then attempted to make a call, and it failed. The phone app wont even attempt to dial out, as it states that 'Airplane Mode' is enabled. That Error: ER081 keeps popping up.
I've been dealing with Project Fi support for the past 12+ hours now trying to figure this out, going through all the BS, they wanted me to install the Hangouts App and Hangouts Dialer, and that works over WiFi, so they were trying to say problem fixed (only if I use that app). That is not a solution.
Has anyone had any better luck with this device on any other carrier, with ALL advanced services and calling features functioning 100%?
I feel like this is a carrier service issue, and not a device hardware issue.

For me it worked if I reset the phone back to stock, and turned it off. Put the Fi SIM in, went through setup, installed the Fi APP, let it do it's config thing, THEN tried to make a call. For me it then worked on WiFi.

Man, I just bricked mine last night trying to flash Google Fi variant to my new phone ATT and I htink it has wifi calling on it sighhh...
Any one know how to unbrick it ? I've searched but so far it's only for the V20 or V30 but havn't seen one for V35 yet.

Well, being a noob and all I wasn't sure but are you saying that the bootloader has to be unlocked in order to flash any rom in cluding the same Rom Albeit different carrier ?
I just got me a V40 ThinQ thanks to Sprint. It's full of bloated stuffs though, I've never had a branded phone before or may be other company aren't as bad.
Anyway, I want to take a rom dump from the V40 and see if I can give my V35 a run before I send it in to LG for warranty repair. But when I tried uppercut to launch LGUP it still says the dll is out dated. I've tried it with my dll from V35 extraction. still not taking it. Any suggestion ?

I just finished flashing the Project Fi firmware to my Amazon V35 and it all went fine. Going to assume it's a simpler flash since the 2 are practically the same, even the firmware share the same version number. Before doing a factory wipe I tested WiFi calling by turning airplane mode on, wifi back on and made a call. Worked perfect. Did a factory reset on the phone to clear all the Amazon bloat and noticed that when the Project Fi app was activating service, it auto downloaded a sprint file/profile which I had never seen before.
I pulled the LGUP dll from the firmware and also modded it and LGUP for developer options. I only had to pick upgrade for it to work and was surprised how quick the flash actually was. I won't ramble anymore, but if anyone wants I can upload the modded dll and lgup exe that I used to flash.

No problem, hopefully the zip file with the modded files is attached correctly to this reply. It's for LGUP 1.14
My phone was listed as V350ULM10f after the latest OTA update last month (I think it was just a security update). But that's the same version I used for the KDZ. I grabbed the firmware from here:
Firmware
Hopefully it works for you too.
Edit: Also forgot to mention, I had to put the phone into download mode for it to work correctly. Power the phone off, plug the cable into the PC, while holding volume up plug the usb cable into the phone and once you see download mode, release volume up. Then launch LGUP and it should find the phone and be good to go.

Thanks Ibuprofen...I'll definitely check those out this weekend....I noticed the V40 Dev mode has "OEM Unlock" an option to turn on or off but that's probably isn't going to do any good without fastboot.
Bloatcrap
I currently have the Amazon 35.... Are you telling me I can get rid of all this bloatware just by flashing the original firmware?
If this is true I could kiss you on the mouth.
