AT&T customer service told me today that the HSPA+ network is capable of simultaneous voice and data, but that the LTE network is not (yet). She said that if you receive a call while using data, the phone will drop back to HSPA+. She also said that it may take awhile before the Skyrocket goes back into LTE mode. So she told me to put my phone is Airplane Mode for 15 seconds and that this would reconnect me to LTE if it's available.
Can anyone confirm this? I don't have my Skyrocket yet.
i have not seen my phone ever not have the lte signal up top. unless i get NO signal when im at my job. which normal for me.
and thats after calls as well.
i can confirm that LTE is NOT capable of doing voice AND data at the same time. So yes your phone will switch back to "4g" (or slower) during all phone calls. I don't know how long it'll take to switch back.
My phone used to'do this..after the 2.3.6 update it stop

This is correct. We were testing it over the weekend.
We even tried using Google voice to make the call and override the switch but the phone apk itself appears to initiate the switch from lte to hspa. This is not new info...it has been speculated that this would be the case.
I see some report the update changed this so I will test that tomorrow.
In testing the phone immediately switched back to lte after the call. The consensus seems to be that if your phone does not switch back you need either the new sim, reprovisioning on Matt's end or both. This seems to fix data connectivity issues and network type swapping issues that many are having

I have the ATT HOX and want to disable LTE due to the known issues with missed calls etc. Would it be possible to disable it through root access WITHOUT installing a custom ROM?
I'm not sure what AT&T do to their phones but can you not change it via Settings > Mobile Network > Network mode.

Att one x doesn't have that function. Try to do it in service menu trying typing in *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone info and scroll down. It works for me on clean Rom but not sure about stock rom

What known missed calls issue? What would LTE have to do with missed calls? LTE on AT&T is data only. It doesn't do anything with calls. You can dial *#*#4636#*#* and try to set it to gsm only or something.

Believe me I have tried. It's not possible. But ik you said you didn't want to, but you really should look into custom ROMs. There's some that are basically stock with just better battery
Except for ATT. Its a well documented fact that they have it disabled. Any changes you make revert back to default.

Its a fairly well known issue with ATT and LTE phones.
As far as I can tell since LTE IS data only it has a hard time receiving calls when its connected to the LTE network. I think it has something to do with only having 1 antenna and it cant communicate on voice and data at the same time. Or, maybe not.:silly: All I know is that when my phone is connected to LTE I will not receive phone calls. All calls will ring a few times and then go to voice mail. I eventually get voice message notifications when the phone switches out of LTE.
Any changes made in the field test mode do not stick. Thank you very much ATT.

I've had 3 different LTE phones on AT&T and never had issues with missed calls and I'm constantly on a LTE connection. My phone kicks to hspa+ right before I receive a call and then it rings. Goes back to LTE about 30 seconds after I hang up. The only thing I can think of is that you are on LTE only in the field test mode thing. That will definitely give you call problems. What does it say that you are connected to when you go into the phone information menu?

I've had a few LTE phones too but I can confirm that this is an issue with AT&T and the HOX. (At least in certain areas.) The phone is *supposed* to do what you said and switch off LTE when a call comes in but that doesn't always happen. I've noticed it the most at my office where I usually have 4 bars of "4G LTE" or one or two bars of "4G". I'll have a long period of time with no incoming calls or texts and then when I make a call (and the phone switches to "4G") I get the backlog of voicemails and text messages. Hard resets haven't helped and AT&T refuses to admit that it's a problem.
Heres a summary of what I have found:
1 Being in field test mode does not affect incoming calls.
2. When making outgoing phone calls with LTE or HSPA displayed in field test mode, the connection will switch to UMTS and then revert back to LTE or HSPA after hanging up. I dont know what that means, just throwing it out there.
3. On a few occasions during my testing I have noticed that I could not receive calls when HSPA is displayed in field test mode. I think that the phone had just switched from LTE, although I havent been able to 100% verify that.
4. My connection at my house varies between LTE, HSPA,EDGE.
5. EDGE is great. My phone makes and receives calls all day long when I have a EDGE connection.
6. Most of my testing has been at home where I have crappy reception to begin with. On a few occasions when I had my wife with me I had her call my phone(connected to LTE). Same as when at home, my pone never rings.

Exactly!
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 on AT&T and I have same issue when connected to LTE. I have been working with AT&T CSR for over a week and no resolution yet. I have talked them into switching my data plan from 300MB LTE to Unlimited Standard Phone data plan. (Unlimited standard phone data plan uses HSPA+ and not LTE, which would resolve the issue)
From what I have understood so far, its not the phone, its the AT&T LTE network.
Wouldnt people with the same phone have more answers for you?

No, because this issue is not related to the phone but its related to AT&T LTE network. So everyone on AT&T LTE network has same issue and not only people with HTC one X.

I was on phone with them last night. They have created a case number for me so their "technical team" can look into it. They promised me to get back to me before friday on this.
For changing the data plan, the CSR tried to change it but it didnt work yesterday. I blame it on the CSR because I know some people on XDA has done that before. I am gonna call them again and have a different CSR try it or me.
And plus, with this change, you get unlimited HSPA+ for just $10.

Thanks for the link. Those settings actually worked for me. I had already tried a couple different APN configs but none of them seemed to stick.
So, now I have successfully disabled LTE.
Unfortunately, I'm still having intermittent missed calls with the phone connected to HSPA. Also, At work in certain areas, we have rock solid LTE reception and guess what...no missed calls. WTFrack?
At home the only time I can get regular calls is when the phone is connected to EDGE.
I seriously think that there must some relationship between 4G/LTE and signal strength. Does anyone know If EDGE and 4G/LTE use the same towers or same power outputs?
I am in an area where there is the eCFSB gap problem. For those not aware this is basically where my area has lte but triband devices can't get it. So yesterday I was surprised that I was finally connected to lte. I thought it was finally fixed. Now my problem is I can connect to lte but I can't make phone calls. What happens is I'll try and make a call the lte will disappear like it's supposed to and it will say call sent. Then it will immediately say call failed and lte will reappear. If I turn lte off and back to 3g then phone calls work. I can receive calls just fine on lte I just can't make them. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks.

I have the same issue, but only in some areas. I do not get any incoming calls when I am in LTE area, if I change it 3G i get the calls.
You are not alone. I'm on MetroPCS gsm which is basicly T-Mobile. Anyways, I forced my phone to stay on LTE only and I was not able to make or receive any calls whatsoever. Make sure your phone is on automatic mode and not force LTE on becuase that was the only way i was able to get the issue to occur was through force lte on. There's a few threads regarding this issue that might be a good read especially for sprint.

I literally can't get any calls while connected to LTE. They all go to voicemail. I have been trying to figure this out for days. As soon as I turn off LTE I get calls on 3g with no problems. It also appears that when I'm on LTE if I make a call it had to drop to 3g before the call connects. Data works just fine. I have called sprint but they were less than helpful, updated prl and profile, and tried it in multiple different towns. Anyone have an idea of what to try next?

Whoops accidental thanks lol. If u check the other threads u will know that the way the new tri band phone's work, when on LTE all u get is data, on 3g u get voice and data, so while Ur connected to lte the only way to make or receive calls is for your phone to switch to 3g. This process should be automatic unless u manually changed something to force the phone one lte only.

That is so false because when I'm on LTE at my local mall, I can send and receive texts just fine.... the OP must've messed with some sort of setting is my guess..?
I have not messed with any settings. This has been happening from day 1. It took me about an hour after I got home from the Sprint store to notice that all calls were going directly to voicemail when I'm on 4G. As soon as I turn off 4G I get all my calls with no problem. I have tried updating prl and profile as I said before, but I don't appreciate people assuming I changed some setting when I'm telling you I didn't change anything. When I'm on 4G there is a spark icon that is constantly showing and the signal bar is always showing 1 bar. I don't know if that's part of the problem or not. If anyone has a serious suggestion to help instead of just assuming I caused this please let me know. Thanks.

If I read correctly on the s4gru website then the reason ur having this issue is because the tower is missing the 3g upgrade that handles this handoff which is called Circuit Switched Fallback*or enhanced Circuit Switched Fallback. Here's a link to the s4gru page with this info if u wish to learn more about it.

False again. When at the mall I can make/receive calls as well. You CANNOT use data and be on a call at the same time though (like I could on my S4).

So what your saying is that everything that we know about tri band phones is false? The tri band phones only have 1 antenna so it is impossible to use voice when connected to lte period. When u make a call Sprint kicks you off lte in order to use voice and when the call ends Sprint reconnects you to lte.
eCSFB Gap Issue – What you Need to know:
Smart devices require eCSFB to “fall back” to 3G to accept a voice call if the user is connected to the LTE network.

i've been having the same problem! I live on the outskirts of the spark network so i only get the regular lte at home. and i dont believe the towers have been upgraded here yet because i wont recieve calls or texts unless i call out on my phone which forces lte off for 3g etc. but if i drive 15 min. north where the "spark" network is deployed then i'll recieve my calls and texts appropriately because the towers are upgraded there.
so sadly i keep my phone on wifi and cdma mode while at home then whenever i go out i have to switch it to lte/cdma and restart the phone so i can utilize lte while im in a "spark" area.
its tedious and sometimes i forget to switch back when i get home.. its such a pain. Leave it to sprint to deploy phones before their network is even ready for them.

Well the places without the 3g upgrades is not that big so they probably just decided to jump on to tri band even though development wasn't complete. It's like saying they should of waited not not sold any LTE devices until they finished deploying LTE, which means they would of still had old devices being sold.

well i understand that but at least when they first started selling the lte devices; the devices would still received calls and texts. because even though the lte may not have been upgraded/deployed or whatever yet. the cell phones themselves were compatible with the old network as is. but with these spark devices, they are deploying phones that may or may not work (the main point of a phone is being able to send/receive calls or texts etc) depending on where you are because half of the towers aren't upgraded for csfb
"Circuit Switched Fallback is a great solution to the issue of Sprint Triband LTE smartphones. But the problem here is that the Sprint network is being upgraded in Network Vision, and not all Sprint parts of the Sprint network can currently support CSFB. And it affects all Sprint Triband LTE phones, not just the Nexus 5 and LG G2." quote from http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog%2...-technology/
and the problem here is the phone is supposed to be able to detect that the lte towers in my area dont have csfb and therefore switch back to cdma. But it doesnt, so it stays connected to lte and i never receive any calls or texts. but when i drive north to a spark network area the csfb works appropriately. So this leads me to believe its a network issue and not that my phone is a lemon.
idk maybe im just blowing hot air here but its frustrating that the most important part of my phone does not work properly for whatever reason in my hometown where i spend most of my time.

According to S4GRU what you are saying is wrong. In order for your phone to ring it kicks you off LTE. Circuit Switched Fallback. When you are connected to LTE your phone receives 0 CDMA signals (this includes voice). When sprint is trying to send voice to your phone, if the CDMA cannot be routed to your phone, the LTE network is checked for your phone, if found the LTE network drops you so the CDMA signal can get to your phone.
Give it a try. Make sure you are connected to LTE and data is in use. Have someone call your phone. Watch your LTE indicator change to grayed out, and switch to CDMA before your phone starts ringing.

No ISH, you still receive the call though, that's what I am trying to say..................
This whole thing is extremely depressing, just got this phone today and it's one of the first things I relized..sure I can put it on 3g and sit tight like that but come on the whole point in getting the newest flagship is how it's better than everything else, and sprint can't make it work right (yet). I noticed with my area that as long as the data is not actively loading a page or downloading it will switch to 3g and calls will come in but if it's load strait to voicemail..hope they get it all fixed the way it's supposed to be soon enough.
Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

Can anyone tell me if wifi calling works yet?

It does not. Used my OnePlus 7 Pro for a couple of days and no WiFi calling.
