Nope, me either. Getting a "No response from server" error. Grrr. I'm guessing we'll have to wait until closer to when the Nexus 5 is officially released in T-Mobile stores before we see this working...

I just tested mine. Worked fine.

Nvm guys is sprint messing up now is on roaming and never had it at home and I know is sprint cause my wife just got home and her phone is roaming to and I haven't done anything to hers and she.never had roaming in the last year

I have the same issue and I am not roaming. I have tried Rooted and Unrooted. I personally think it is a Sprint issue as you suggest but I also think it is a Qualcom/Samsung issue. I have a new one coming in tomorrow. If it exhibits the same behavior I will wait it out.

I think tmous just blocked Qik video chat over their mobile network

The other day me & my brother were able to video chat on Qik using our data plans. Last night we tried again & now neither of us can connect over data, just over wifi. We get errors saying unable to connect to server. It can't be a localized problem either because I'm in AZ & he's in TX.
I know they just blocked it for Google Talk video chat as well.
So, can you still connect using your data plan?
has anyone or will anyone else test this out for me? please and thanks
Same thing happened to me. It used to work fine up until i did a hard reset and then it stopped working. I did a search on qik's website and this seems to be.a.common problem with many devices.

Ok. I wondering now if anyone with tmous can connect over data.
I used Qik for over 30 minutes on Friday night with no problems. I was on 4g, my fiance was on wifi Gtab

Try again today, let me know if it allows you to connect

My Qik does nothing but force close. Latest updates and All.
setup ssh tunneling or a vpn - if you have a system at home that is always on and decent speeds it's an easy way to use your 4g connection for what you want to do
Tango has always worked for me and still does.. 3g/or wifi

Giving that a try. The one complaint is I can't manage contacts in there & it adds the very ugly orange icon & text in the contacts app

AT&T Visual Voicemail Confirmed Working

Hey guys I don't know if anyone has tried to install AT&T visual voicemail, but I was able to get it to work. Here are the steps I took to get working:
1. Download the apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
2. Install on the phone and try setting it up. It will not complete but that is ok.
3. It will prompt you to update Visual Voicemail from the Play Store, but the update will fail saying that it was not signed.
4. Once that pops up choose Uninstall.
5. Once Uninstalled, right away click install from the Play Store.
6. The installation should be successful and now you can setup and enjoy AT&T Visual Voicemail.
Click thanks if this works for you guys.

Worked, but a little differently.
After it failed to setup I clicked update, but it said it couldn't find it on the market.
Then it took me back to the app and asked for my password and worked fine.
Thanks, nevertheless.
It's a supported application for the HTC One X, just doesn't come preinstalled. Download it from the market.

I had to call customer service. My phone wasn't provisioned for the VVM I'm wondering if it's because I switched from an iPhone to this HOX. Once I had them re-provision it works as described, except I can't find the VVM app in the play store. The one provided here on XDA seems to work though

I just installed the apk from that forum page, set up, and got it working right off the bat. No need to uninstall or anything. Works great! God I missed this from my iPhone days lol. The ONLY thing I missed lol. Ya I know google voice but I like it integrated with att service so no hassles.

Confirmed.
I had to switch my basic voice mail to visual voice mail. DL'ed the attached apk and it worked right away. I was prompted to update but it didn't work but the current verison will do for now until they revise the store to allow our One X to install it freely.
Strange, looks like we should have this according to AT&T.

Odd behavior: If I receive a voicemail while NOT connected to WiFi, then ATT Visual Voicemail picks up on it and acts as intended. If I receive a voicemail with WiFi connected, I get the normal voicemail notoficaiton and have to call my cell number to listen to it.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or that can test it?

When I called tech support he told me that VVM only downloads from the network and not over wifi, which would explain that.
+1 for confirmed.

Yeah it downloads over cellular not WiFi.however if you are on WiFi, just give it like 2-5 minutes after the missed call for visual voicemail to receive it. It will download it over cellular even tho you are connected to WiFi.

That's F'ing stupid IMO. since I'm (and I assume most people) on WiFi the majority of the time (home/work). How is it that iPhone can instantly get VVM over WiFi and we can't. It's an official AT&T app!!
Thanks for the confirmations and added info from AT&T tech support.
I had to call to have VVM activated also. But worked great after that. Thanks!

I mean I've had it come instantly before. But I'm not sure why the variation in receiving times. When I called tier 2 tech support (I have their direct number from a previous issue I had a year back so I call them directly to get quicker and more efficient help) the guy said that the one x will be officially supported by the app on may 28th (hopefully he's right) so maybe they'll always come instantly then.

After trying both, I actually prefer Google voice over AT&T VVM since Google also has speech to text and convenient widgets. Also the voicemail greeting from Google sounds more human than AT&T's.
After using both, Google voice is a better product IMO, except that the notifications are not displaying on my HOX.

Is this possible on nexus 5 on T-Mobile?

I know the nexus 5 on T-Mobile does not have the WiFi calling feature. I don't know if that is due to lack of hardware or software. With that, I was wondering if it was possible being rooted by means of a ROM or kernel or some sort of mod?
If so, could you kindly point me in the direction of it?
Thank you,
Whiteice

There's no mod for this at the moment. Not sure what the restriction is but I've seen it asked many times here. You may learn the restriction if you search

there's alot of stuff that tmobile has to add to the phone for it to be able to work. some framework, APIs, and special RIL.
its not possible since none of this information is known.

I just purchased my N5 from T-mo last month here in the states. One of the features that sold me on it was the ability for it to do calls over wifi. I have tested it as I was in Canada and when calling my v-mail it did not recognise my caller-id so it prompted me for a password. So long story short, it should be able to call over WiFi natively.
This is just my $0.02
It can't

the nexus 5 doesnt have the software nor, very importantly, tmobiles framework for wifi calling to work. the great thing about owning nexus devices is that carriers do not have access to them to install all their carrier crap on them, wifi calling being one of those. its not as simple as just installing an app to have it work. it needs tmobiles framework built into it as well.

OnePlus 7 Pro now compatible with Visible Wireless (Verizon MVNO)

With the latest OOS 9.5.13 the OP 7 Pro is now compatible with Visible Wireless (Verizon MVNO). Everything works, voice, text and data, without having to manipulate APNs or request enabling CDMA-less. Visible hasn't officially made the announcement yet but this is great for anyone who wants to use a Verizon based service for much cheaper than post paid. Anyone else been able to try their drive on Visible?

Just tell the site you're bringing over an iPhone, then it won't check for IMEI. Working great on on my 7 Pro here, didn't have to do anything else once I got the sim.
Anyone signing up, there's $20 discount with a referral. Mine is "BmrNm", visible.com/referral/BmrNm

Thanks just wondering since they advertised vowifi I thought maybe they would have standardized it finally.
BTW Google Voice won't work over wifi on the 7Pro like it does on some phones. You have to install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer and use those with your Google voice number.

Never noticed that about google voice on 7pro....you're correct in airplane mode-need hangouts. Here is the funny thing,if I download Google Voice on my Chromebook it works without Hangouts installed.

Verizon video chat also does not work however that only worked between Verizon Android phones anyway.
Just a head's up - Visible is not currently compatible with Oxygen OS 10 (Android 10). It will not activate. Google Fi is also not compatible. It will activate, but you will lose your mobile data constantly.

No, once you update you will lose service. I took a look at the apn-conf.xml and telephony.db files and all visible entries were removed on Android 10. Attempted to replace the files from 9.5.13 but still didn't work.
Looks Line a reversion issue where 10 was forked before the the fix in 9. Likely it is on the list to fix
