I have been entering the sprint code every couple hrs to get my calls to work. Project Fi support has no idea why or what is going on. The had me run a bug report. Hopefully that will get this resolved. Any one else on Project Fi having this issue?
Jayson
Still waiting to hear back from Project Fi team. I just spoke with the Nexus support team and was told there is no going back to 6.0 from 6.0.1. The tech I spoke with said that they have logged 7 calls with the same issue me. Mine now makes it 8.
Even though I am a bit frustrated with this issue Google support folks are 1000 times more knowledgeable and easier to work with than Verizon. This company gets how to treat and deal with customers.
Still not working yet. Google is going to give me credit for the inconvenience but I am beginning to lose faith in them getting this resolved. Switches back to T-Mobile and I keep missing calls. Uhhhhg. I really want to stay with Project Fi but I may be forced to look elsewhere for cellular service.
Have you tried *#*#34963#*#* ?
I had a similiar issue to you.
Where I live and where I work I get a stronger signal from Sprint than T-mobile.
After I updated my phone to 6.0.1 I had problems connecting to Sprint's network.
I used the "FI XME" dialer code and that seemed to fix my issue:
*#*#34963#*#*
I found a post in the Nexus 6 forums with the Project Fi dialer codes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/project-fi-fi-dialer-codes-to-force-t3132393
Another reference for the Project Fi dialer codes:

Hope this helps.
I'm not on FI, got the sim card just haven't switched yet lol. Ummmmmm see my thread my phone is getting horrid LTE speeds, I put in a ticket. And I'm on T-Mobile this is crazy

Does T-mobile service work where you are, did you have it before?
Yes. T mobile is strongest signal where I am . Worked great until the update.

Ah yes then that's a problem, the Google update to 6.0.1 has caused all kinds of radio problems so let's hope they fix it quickly.
My issue seems a different. The Data and texting works fine on WiFI only, Sprint and T-Mobile. The issue is calling in and out on T-Mobile. Instant failure.
I'm having the same problem but I think it only happens when the phone connects to band 12 LTE on T-mobile. It seems that VoLTE isn't working properly. Can you check what T-mobile band you are on using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalchecklite
Says Provider: T-Mobile B4
I'm having the issue where my data speeds suck. Since update

Be careful! I did this on my last 6P and it completely messed up my radio and prevented me from making calls on Sprint (no it wasn't because of the SIM card as I tried 3 of them) . I had to RMA my device. My advice is not to mess with that menu. I have done it on other devices without issue but it seems as though once selected it cannot be undone.
I just found out yesterday that the engineers have not even looked at my bug reports yet. They were sent to them yesterday from what I was told. They also had me order a new sim card as well to rule that out. The support or lack there of up to yesterday has be ridiculously unacceptable. I get the feeling that they are just trying to pacify me and not doing anything in hopes that a new release will come out an magically fix this issue. Very frustrating.
Problem Fixed. After dealing with this for several days I asked a supervisor how long was acceptable to leave a customer with an open issue affecting cellular service and to be missing calls. He provided me a RMA and a new phone was sent. All seems to be work with the New replacement phone they sent.

Yes be very careful in that menu. I was just looking at the menu and my finger some how hit a different band. Took me about 4 hours to figure out how to fix it. There are some tuts here on that issue that will help. Also there's a way to get the international bands to show up
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!
I have searched (there are a few threads pertaining to this, but no definitive answer pertaining to my only question)
Bought the wife an unlocked S8 from Samsung, everything works well on Verizon that is to be expected, EXCEPT video calling using Hangouts or Duo. I have changed the mobile data to LTE/CDMA from global but doesn't change anything. Everytime we try to video call, it never connects and something pops up mentioning an error with the network. Doesn't matter if on WiFi or 4G.
Can anyone confirm that ANY video calling with an unlocked S8 doesn't or does work on VZN?
Can anyone think of possible fixes?
Is my only option to follow the instructions on this thread? (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/unlocked-galaxy-s8-samsung-flashing-t3669156)

I have read yesterday that a user had issues with Youtube, where the video would play for the first 5 to 6 seconds, then stop. The issue seems to be connected to network error of some sort. I am with T-Mobile using unlocked s8 and no issues at all with network or other apps that rely on data.

Whatever the problem is it has nothing to do with your carrier if it doesn't work on wifi as well. Also duo has nothing to do with any calling options as it's a purely internet service. I promise you if no s8s could watch internet videos at all someone would have noticed lol
This all likely indicates an issue with the phone, or with your home network and with your phone. Take it to where you got it or some other VZW help place and ask for help

Thanks guys, you got me thinking and tried a video call with WhatsApp, and it worked both on WiFi and 4G. So I think my question has been answered, but has led to other questions now, like why is Duo and Hangouts not working.... I've checked each permissions......anyway, I guess that is for another thread. Thanks for getting me here.
EDIT: her phone has always played YouTube videos and YouTube TV....in case anyone comes across this thread.

You're welcome
It's q/a section I don't see why we can't continue here....
Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling them?
Also do you have another Google account to test with? If so try adding it to your phone (under settings -> accounts) and then login to duo/hangouts with that account and try.
Also how are you testing it? Video chat 1:1? hangout? If it's 1:1 direct, how are you initiating it? You call them or they call you?

So I figured why would WhatsApp video (yes, 1:1) work and not hangout/duo unless it's a different protocol...which led me to think what could be blocking one and not the other which made me think about about my ad-blocking app 'Block-this!' I turned that off and magically, Hangouts and Duo worked flawlessly.....ugh.
Gah, n00b mistake.

All good m8, glad it's figured out!
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.

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.
So I was rooting my Google store bought pixel 4 and missed a step. Needless to say I had to sideload a full ota to recover it. But I'm pretty sure I accidentally loaded the verzion version. I got all the verizon apps that showed up when I rebooted the phone. I went back and wiped everything in recovery mode and tried sideloading QD1A.190821.007.A3 and it keeps erroring out. This is the firmware that Im 90% sure what was on my phone. Is there a way to get back to factory google store firmware or am I screwed now? I am on a verizon sim but phone was bought on launch day from the google store. Its also noted that I am currently on QD1A.190821.014 firmware. This doesn't appear to be the verizon firmware.
The Verizon apps appear not based on which ROM version you load, but instead based on whether you have a Verizon SIM in the phone during setup.
If you loaded the wrong ROM onto the phone, you may not be able to recover by sideloading an OTA. You should be able to recover by doing a complete reflash of the image you want (the image version, not the OTA version).
What error is it giving you?
I cant remember the exact error but it would error out about 45% through the flashing. I am currently running QD1A.190821.014 which appears to the google FI, T'Mobile firmware. I still have the ability to turn OEM Unlock on in my settings, so it appears I am ok. I just wish they had better wording on which firmwares for the unlocked ones form the google store and others.

Regarding loading the wrong one, I did the same thing because the December update had a discrepancy between the announcement and the download page about which rom applies to which phones. I switched back and forth between QQ1B.191205.011 and QQ1B.191205.012.A1 before they finally corrected it, but everything worked fine on both versions as far as I could tell.
About the Verizon apps, if you're on Verizon or one of its MVNOs, if it installs other stuff, you'll want to leave it. Don't confuse My Verizon and My Verizon Services. My Verizon can be uninstalled, but if you mess with My Verizon Services, you'll end up losing things like wifi calling.

That's not true. You can go to all apps and show system. MVS can't be deleted without root but you can disable it with no adverse effects. They can't get into your device to see what you have installed and when you installed it, but who wants to give them that info anyway?

As of Android 8, disabling My Verizon Services doesn't permit wifi calling because it depended on that application for that functionality. It's hard to remember what else was troublesome, but I thought there was something else which didn't function once it was disabled.
I don't have wifi calling anymore on Visible, and I never used Android 9 because of the wifi scan throttling mess anyway.
Would you mind checking that your wifi calling works on your pixel 4, disabling My Verizon Services, rebooting, switching on airplane mode, then enabling wifi only, and then try making a phone call? I'm interested to know if that behavior has changed. Thanks!
Here's some more information. It certainly seems true for others as well:
https://community.verizonwireless.c...ng-since-Android-8-update/td-p/1042025/page/2
And many other XDA threads correlating the two:

Maybe things have changed in Android 9 or 10, but please test it out if you haven't already!
EDIT:
It looks like you tested it out in another XDA thread already where others lost wifi calling when it was disabled, but you said you were still able to make wifi calls. It's strange that you're the only one who can disable My Verizon Services and make wifi calls, but others can't. Very strange.

My wife has a Verizon device Pixel 3 locked bl and I have a Pixel 4 and they both have MVS disabled and both can call on wifi. I just tested again to make sure. Really, I'm the only one? Gotta love that. I hate that they can get into my device without my knowing and see what and when I installed stuff.
