WiFi Calling on todays official 6.0 MRA58K release ? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, unfortunately, T-Mobile carrier WiFI calling is not present in the official 6.0 release today. I was really hoping it would be as we could see the option in preview 3.
Anybody have any further information regarding the possibility of T-mobile Carrier WiFi Calling on the N5 ?
Any Sprint users by some far, far, far out chance have Sprint Carrier WiFi Calling after the 6.0 flash ? :silly:

Enough M threads already..

I heard the option shows up, but can't be enabled?

That option was there before in the M previews, as I stated above, and it still cannot be enabled.

AT&T software update 6/15/16?

Anybody else get prompted today for an update? Anyone know what's in it?
AT&T wifi calling
Wifi calling
and AT&T using this update as an opportunity to change your Chrome browser homepage to home.att.com powered by Yahoo. Because AT&T can't do something nice without balancing it with something ****ty. Balance in the universe is thus preserved.

If you already installed it, you can be a proud owner of the first Android device on AT&T network that supports Wi-Fi calling. It actually works pretty good so far and I can't tell for sure if they fixed a 5Ghz Wi-Fi issue because I got the update about an hour ago but as a piece of hope I got higher speedtest.net results than before, so maybe they actually made a highly desired change in a baseband besides adding a 2G toggle that actually makes a network search much faster than before.
Another noticeable change is that I got extra free 100MB of RAM which is never a bad thing.
if someone could upload&share this update for non-US residents, that would be nice
Thank you

I'm still rooted in lollipop. Is there any way I can get this or will I have to lose root and jump up to MM?
Update breaks tethering
This update broke USB tethering for me. I know receive a "Authentication Unsuccessful please contact blah blah blah". They should provide this information in the BASIC UPDATE INFO at least. If SOMETHING else happened to change this on my phone IMMEDIATELY after I did the update then I apologize for the incorrect information but I truly believe it was the update as no other changes have been made.
i can not get my phone to update at all im still on 8101g i think

This would be great!
Just got this. Now at version H81021y with 2016-06-01 security patch.
Is there anyway someone could extract this OTA and post it so us folks that can't get the update, can install it on our phones? I'm just curious as to whether the the wifi calling will work on T-Mobile too.
Edit: I was able to get the update by getting an active AT&T sim card. Unfortunately, wifi calling will not work with a T-Mobile sim.
Any one know if this update will prevent the dirtysanta root method from working?

Verizon Pixel phones are getting their own Android 7.1.2 build (NHG47K)

I own Verizon Pixel, but I use it on T-Mobile. Maybe someone who knows can comment if my device will get that new build(NHG47K) or this is strictly for users that use Verizon sim.

Would be interesting to see if you will get the new build: NHG47K
Verizon Pixel on Verizon with N2G47E as well though I did the OTA manually rather than wait for it to appear. I do this every month. Have had no issues with the phone.
Much prefer to do updates on my schedule rather than on someone else's in case there is issues with the update.
got mine through verizon. dloaded and installed nhg47k yesterday. nothing bad to report.

So looks like users on Verizon network are getting this build. Link in the first post shows change log.
It does work pretty good so far as I can tell very smooth
I updated and my VOLTE is broken . I factory reset and still nothing. Verizon said it's a known issue
Does anyone have a download link to the Verizon specific OTA, please?

A couple of things that may help you out on the VoLTE option, including bringing back HD Voice calling and Video Calling. Same thing happened to me on the new build. I went into the the *#*#4636#*#* Phone information menu and ensured that VoLTE Provisioned and other options are turned on. For me I need to decline the HD feature and re-enable...for you probably a call to Verizon. Takes just a few moment to do and didnt have to reboot. Viola' HD Voice and Video Calling were back. Good luck

The only difference between N2G47J and NHG47K is the radio image (modem.img). NHG47K has a newer radio.
Sounds bout right
The K update has done nothing for the weak cell signal. Time will tell if it does anything about dropped and missed calls.

I never had such problems even with old firmware versions. I know that some people have them, but it looks like these issues are location dependent, so I wouldn't expect updates to fix it.

VoWiFi (Wi-Fi calling) Moto G 2015 Osprey

Hello All,
In my new home is very low T-Mobile signal strength.
As i know from carrier official page, T-Mobile supports VoLTE and VoWiFi (Wi-Fi calling) in my country.
Now (6 july 2017) i have installed newest LineageOS build. There no option to enable Wi-Fi Calling/VoWiFi, but regarding to official Qualcomm site Osprey's processor (Snapdagon 410) supports Wi-Fi Calling/VoWiFi:
Next-generation Calling Services
Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) with LTE call continuity
HD Voice over 3G and VoLTE
It is posible to enable Wi-Fi Calling/VoWiFi on Osprey?
This solution does not work. When i make Wi-Fi Calling enable it going back to off.
Device: Moto G 2015 (XT1541)
Country: Poland
Carrier: T-Mobile
ROM: LineageOS 14.1 build from 6 july 2017

FYI For U.S. prepaid T-mobile accounts: T-Mobile may require address and other information to be entered on their website into the account profile for that phone #. If that information is entered on-line and the account has WiFi calling properly enabled it should work when the device has wifi connection and no cellular connection. This is not dependent on any settings on the phone and should work even if you don't see any settings there. You might want to contact your provider about this.

No, it doesn't work, not with T-Mobile. It won't stay on, no matter what you do.
I have MetroPCS/T-mobile USA, and I have had the exact same issue. I've had no problems using wifi calling on my same account with other phones, but not this one (they do require you to register your full info here, as the last poster said). T-mobile support themselves have told me, however, they only allow wifi calling on phones purchased directly from them, and that's why no go, at least not in the USA. I'm assuming that's their policy in other countries, too?
I don't know if there is a hack/workaround.
Side note: When I go to Europe, which is often, I re-register my old, official t-mobile phone with t-mobile usa, leave my US sim in it, and I use that phone thru wifi calling to still have a US phone while there. I throw a UK sim in my Moto G to use every day.

From what I understand, I could be wrong though, T-Mobile open sourced their WiFi calling and anybody can implement it but LineageOS haven't done it yet. It's a matter of adding the code (just like VoLTE) I think. I don't think T-mobile checks if it's their phone or not, the right software need to run, that's all. The problem is that the software is very low level and needs to part of the kernel, you can't just install some app and make it work. This is what I found when I did my search for LineageOS and WiFi calling a few months back. from T-Mobile forums. Of course anybody can post anything in those forums so it's not official or anything but a few users provided the same answer (some seemed quite knowledgeable) so I believe this is it (probably better than talking so some phone rep reading off FAQ's haha)

It's not unheard of for mobile providers to do just what I'm suggesting t-mobile does. In the UK, for example, Vodafone limits WiFi calling even further than that, to only a few select Voda-sold models (or at least it was like that when I was there recently).
I would very much appreciate being pointed in the direction of guidance by anyone who's been successful in getting it to work on any non-tmobile handset, custom ROM/kernel or not. Thanks much x

Hi IronTechmonkey, at first I took it as a fact but later I thought about it and now I'm thinking how would WiFi calling work without LinageOS having code for it. Once you're outside of their network and T-Mobile (others too of course) can't get to your phone through SIM card the only way for anything to work is if the software on the phone through the internet first contacts the provider, correct me wrong but how would the provider get to you? This is just my thinking about it so I'm not sure but what common sense tells. I have the address on T-mobile and everything setup but since I'm not NJ where coverage is everywhere it's not easy for me test it but I'm scared without LineageOS actually getting on top of it and implementing the code it's not going to work. I'll test it once I go somewhere with no coverage but haven't had a chance yet.

Good question. I wasn't being quite clear enough in replying, and was speaking to whether or not there would be settings in the ROM if the feature exists, but was not speaking to whether or not the code is present. To the point of your question, from general web searching this seems to be device/ROM-build specific but when I search specifically for Lineage OS Osprey wifi-calling I find this thread. LOL. Apart from that this jira ticket for a different device is all I can find: https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-508.

Thanks, so I'm confused now, and thanks for your help. I know with VoLTE it was such a big deal we had whole posts about removing it and then bringing it back etc... all the updates and drama we need while nobody mentions even once if this device has wifi calling or not, haha, weird
I want to reopen this thread, I tried to ask in the official development opsrey thread but was sent to Q & A, so I'm reopening this thread. Anybody knows anything about Wi-Fi calling for osprey and LOS? Will it be implemented? Can I make a request somewhere? Maybe just switch to LOS 15 when it's official, will it have it on the arrival? I traveled outside of the US and did different tests and couldn't get Wi-Fi calling to work? Here's my post from the official osprey development thread with more detailed, thanks you, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73769962&postcount=5299
BTW, I made all necessary changes back in the USA with T-mobile to make Wi-Fi calling work, thanks.
So, WiFi Calling is unavailable as default option on any of ROMs for our devices.
BUT
For example, in Poland everybody who has Android higher than 4.1 can use "WiFi-calling" on "Orange" carrier. This carrier offers some application which realy works:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.orange.vowifi&hl=pl
Functionality of this app is same, but i think it drains more battery than "wifi-calling" implemented as driver in kernel.

Thanks mrViZhy, actually I'm traveling from USA to Poland too. What I would like to do is keep the US number and receive text message (and pick up phone calls too) from US. I'm assuming your solution requires getting Orange number, if that's the case it would break the connection that I have with the US.
Thanks again for your help

North American version compatibility with US T-Mobile network

Is anyone here using the North American Moto One Hyper on T-Mobile's US network? I'm trying to find out if VoLTE and VoWiFi works. I know the phone has the bands for T-Mobile 4G and 3G.
Update: I've reached out to Motorola via Twitter asking about compatibility. If I get an answer I'll update my post.
Update 2: Got a reply that is bad news for me:
https://mobile.twitter.com/GumbyXGames/status/1228348189008371712
The Moto One Hyper does not have the Android One program as well. As per checking, it does not support VoLTE also. -Rica
It's 80% compatible
No VoLTE
No Wi-Fi Calling
All the rest works as it's supposed to

I ordered #2 unit, and hopefully VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling will work with the latest build number you stated.
Wi-Fi Calling is not necessary but VoLTE is a must because it knocks back to H when making a call and this makes connection lost where only LTE is available.
For that reason, I attempted to flash Z4 Android 10 radio to get VoLTE working, and the screen continuously flashing after that.
The phone is completely dead (no bootloader, no 9008) and I bought G Power. However, I miss pop-up front cam and 100% screen

I am pretty sure VoLTE works on mine, I used to see an H and now I don't
Update:
Got One Hyper #2
Updated to latest version with LMSA
I can confirm both VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling work 100%
Now it won G Stylus except you want CDMA
Can also confirm, everything works on latest stock and omni.

Tmobile WIFI Calling?

anyone have working wifi calling with TMO-US? i assume not, due to it not being officially supported, but want to double check.

Hello there. I've recently purchased the US version since I live in USA but I noticed wifi calling doesn't work on mine and I couldn't find a way to enable it. I have not called T-Mobile yet but I will eventually. I'll give an update later.
Have you had any luck with it?

i havent gotten it yet, since i use wifi calling a lot at home due to not the greatest signal. if it doesnt support, then i might have to pass, which is a shame since its such a nice phone otherwise.
