Best network setting for VZW? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Currently calls, sms/mms, data, volte all work for me on the tscdma/cdma option. Should I toggle to LTE/CDMA auto option? Is there a better one I should be using?

Mine is currently set to the tscdma/CDMA/UMTS option right now. I had it set to LTE/cdma/UMTS originally, but I guess a reboot may have reset the settings. So far I have not had any issues.

It actually resets the second you leave the phone settings menu.

Did you guys have to call Verizon to set to cdma-less? Or is that issue fixed now and just pop in my sim? I get mine tomorrow

Still have to add CDMA_Less. I did it via the chat. Explain you have a 6t and it is an LTE only device. I was done in like 5 minutes

Mms issues cant send/rec

I didn't notice this before but I'm able to send SMS and receive them just not MMS - today a friend sent a pic and I could not open it. Carrier is Verizon not sure if that matters because I'm seeing others have the same issue with other carriers.
Messenger or google messenger doesn't download them either.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
.
Any problems with MMS. no matter what phone or rom, always ALWAYS triple check your APN. A phone call to Verizon will verify if you have the correct APN and make sure there isn't problems on their end.

& remember that Verizon "thinks" it is Roaming (although not), so insure you have your MMS settings set appropriately

OK so... I had to factory reset my phone and right away had issues... tried to send a text message and it didn't work. So I went through the steps of setting the APN up. But it hasn't worked.
I've done the whole thing with using a GSM sim to get the + and add APN...but nothing.
Anyhow, I was hoping someone can tell me the latest APN settings for Verizon. Perhaps they have changed. I'm just getting really cheesed off with all of this and nothing seems to be working. I love this phone but this is just getting on my nerves now.
Please help thanks

These are the APN values I'm using on Verizon postpaid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68263623&postcount=61
Thanks!
I'm using pre paid will that make a difference?
I was having a bad day yesterday. Im in the right mind to get this fixed now.

Should be the same values for Verizon Prepaid (different if you're on a Verizon MVNO). Did you make sure to enable Data Roaming?

Wifi calling hidden on US unlocked model

Someone on AC has the us unlocked version that you can buy from Amazon and BH and is using tmobile on it. They said wifi calling is hidden on it but if you go searching using an app like quick shortcut app you can find wifi calling and enable it that way.
If anyone has the unlocked model have you tried this? If this is the case I might just order the unlocked one.
So has anyone tried this? thinking about ordering it this weekend so would like to know.
It IS there. in Quick Shortcut maker.
I'm on AT&T and it appears enabled by default.
Not sure if it's actually doing anything - but it's there.
I got it turned on.

On the LG website for the unlocked version it list Wi-Fi calling as a feature.
On my phone I switched it to Wi-Fi calling only and it let me make calls with it
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US996-Unlocked-v20-titan
how do we enable it though? nobody has given any instructions lol. there's no clear spot for it on mine, and I'm running it on Verizon. I searched everything related to wifi as a shortcut from Nova launcher and found nothing.

I downloaded the app quick shortcut maker and used it and search Wi-Fi calling and you will find it that way, then make a shortcut icon to it.
crazy. mine was already enabled by default and set to use wifi as priority even when mobile network available lol. weird. I switched it to use wifi as the backup instead.

H910 here.
I have the option in settings however when clicking on "Get Started" I get a dialogue saying I must confirm my address. Eventually this times out and gives a "network unavailable" error. Probably because its trying to contact an AT&T server but I have T-Mobile.

Wi-Fi calling on AT&T working
I was searching for this using the QuickShortcut app everyone was talking about and thought it didn't exist on my phone. For anyone who was searching for "WiFi Calling" and not "Wi-Fi Calling", you do need the hyphen and then I was able to change the setting. I'm hoping this saves somebody else some frustration.
hold on why is it confirmed it doesn't work? mines still on and i get HD voice often at home, and my lte usually sucks.. so im on wifi.

Nougat trouble

Anyone else having problems after the Nougat update? I can't send phone calls through the stock dialer. I can get a call out by clicking a number on a website or by using my textra app but not the traditional way. I am completely stock. Any ideas?

Same here. After upgrading to Nougat on stock HTC 10 Verizon variant, when selecting the "Phone" icon from the app drawer it would say "Operation denied". Open up the all apps icon on the home screen. Select Phone icon and drag to the home screen and replace the old icon. You can now open the phone dialer. Hope this helps you too.
I'm having the wifi calling issues as well. If wifi calling is turned on and I'm connected, it won't make calls out. If I'm connected to WiFi and turn off wifi calling it works fine. Haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see.

FYI factory reset didn't help me at all
Great. We can always try again after an RUU is available
Spoke to a Verizon rep online and they have not received any other reports of the wifi calling issue. Is anyone else experiencing issues with the play store and Google Assistant? Probably not related to the update but just wanted to ask.

While connected it an active wifi network you can;t dial out with wifi calling enabled. Not a phone icon issue on this one. I reported to verizon and they are sending a new phone

Wi-Fi calling has never been a problem , I always have it enabled. Can dial out just fine on or off Wi-Fi network or 4G.
In response to the "OP" who also could not use his "stock dialer" same as me.
By going to the "all installed apps" and selecting the dialer icon you are using the stock dialer version 8.10.878172 thereby replacing the "leftover" Version 7 Marshmallow dialer. Thats why it would say "operation denied" when using the "old" dialer icon.
Again, this solved my problem. Without having to fatory reset. Nothing to do with Wi-Fi calling in this instance.
google services not updating
I have been having intermittent issues on startup with Gmail not being able to retrieve email or updating, and Play Store also not working. Some days there are no problems, and others nothing works. I have the HTC 10 Verizon phone.
So I did more investigation on my wifi calling issue. For the people people that said wifi calling works after the update. Under the roaming preferences do you have it set to prefer wifi or cellular. If i have wifi selected no outgoing calls can be made if you are connected to a wifi network.

Wifi Calling on PH-1

I have enabled Wifi Calling on my PH-1 and I know for a fact that my carrier supports it. It works fine too, but it's set to "Mobile Preferred". I chose this setting because my Wifi isn't too reliable. However, whenever I call, it uses Wifi even though I am getting LTE+? Is there any way to fix this?
Does anyone have any idea? I have looked all over the internet but have not found any solution? Could it possibly be my carrier?
When I try to enable wifi calling, my launcher crashes. So you are one step ahead of me

Is there any way to do this without rooting or unlocking the bootloader? I want to preserve my warranty for as long as possible.

Not that I know of. I don't think they would look at your WiFi calling settings if sent out for repairs. Once you install Oreo open market firmware just relock the bootloader, setup your phone including TMobile WiFi calling settings. Once you update to Pie they shouldn't be able to tell anything because all different variants use the same firmware and your bootloader will be locked encase you send your phone out for repairs.
The other option is to use Google Voice. WiFi calling works great on it.

You do have to use your GV number. In my case it's irrelevant because I ported my number over to GV some time ago.

No, your carrier number will change. The port to GV takes approximately 24 hours. So you have to deal with a GV assigned number for a day. After that though you have your regular old number. I barely even know my new Verizon number as I don't give it to anybody. I figure this way, I'll never have to worry about WiFi calling or who my carrier is again.

I like having a different number for when I do mechanic work, don't want to get calls for every little thing at different times of the night, specially when it's unrelated to what I fixed lol
I have the same problem. Set my wifi calling to Mobile preferred but sometimes my calls use wifi calling even when I have cellular reception. Please let me know when you find a solution.
and I think it's funny that nobody addressed your original issue.

I have the same issue. It was working fine on Oreo. I tried flash.all fastboot using the stock firmware without success. Let me know if you have a solution. Ty
Edit: I got it fixed by flashing flashall back to stock Oreo 8.1 open market from Essential website then let it updated OTA to Pie and my WiFi calling still working fine.
Updated 10/22
My WiFi stopped working again after I turned it off but I can't turn it back on just like before. Any time I tried to turn it on the phone app forced close.
Considering thanks to T-Mobile's wonderful coverage (says I have good signal strength, but it's not) I have Wi-Fi calling enabled all the time and it works well on the 5Ghz ac side of the router...not so well on the 2.4Ghz b/g which is fine. Again something carrier specific. I went to Pie and kept the WiFi calling running.

Oneplus 8 Pro Verizon Wireless WIFI Calling working yet?

Hey guys, I already returned my One plus 8 pro because of the advertised features that should work with Verizon. I had posted about the sms not working at first which I had to tag them on twitter and I got it resolved. I stayed with the phone as I loved the device really but I was really excited thinking that since the one plus 8 non pro would be sold by Verizon I would assume the 8 pro would also eventually work with Verizon Wireless. I have been on the phone with Tier 2 and Oneplus together one the phone trying to get it working. The one plus rep we were talking to said that it will work. However we never got it working. I would love to buy this phone again if someone can confirm they got the wifi calling working. I purchased the LG V60 again to hold off buying something else. I came from tmobile and this obviously wouldnt be a problem. But we all know how this goes.
No WiFi calling yet.

The logkit setup absolutely does NOT work with the global OP8P and Verizon postpaid. It puts the options in the settings menu, but once you turn it on and back out then go back in it's back to off. Additionally, calls do not go over WiFi.
