finally got my gold device yesterday. Upon installation, some messages about wifi-calling popped up, asking about how do I want to use this service. If I remember correctly, I had 3 options: (a) Wifi-calling as a default, (b) prioritize mobile service (T-mobile, in my case), and if i have no service then try wifi-calling, or (c) don't use wifi-calling at all. I chose the second option.
But, now I cant seem to find the settings menu for adjusting the settings. Was chatting with HTC online but they didnt seem to know and only suggested that i'll reset the device because these options appear only in the beginning (if this is true, this is really stupid way of handling stuff). Moreover, tried to do airplane mode (with wifi on) to see if wifi-calling would work and it didnt.
Anyone has a lead on how to get to the menu? I have the unlocked version and on T-mobile network.
Thanks,
Instead of a full factory reset, have you tried just doing the network settings reset?

I just did, and I've found it! I dont know if I've found it because of the network settings reset,but for everyone else who's interested - you can find this menu under mobile network settings.
Thanks!
Specifically if anyone else was wondering. It's under "Settings--> Mobile Data". I spent a good 20 minutes going through every menu in settings trying to find it. Why they put it here, is beyond me.
I have the Sprint version and it's not there.

Sprint has always done Wi-Fi calling so it's possibly only a matter if time here honestly for it to be added.

I recently received my Touch Pro, and transferred everything from my other phone over. I also copied the GPRS/EDGE settings (T-Mobile USA) present on the other phone, in an attempt to get internet without the Wi-Fi over. Unfortunately, for some reason, no matter how I set it (I looked up 3 different ways to do it online) it returns an error.
I thought it might be a radio band issue, so I flashed Hard SPL and the Cingular radio stack. Even more unfortunately, after doing so, it was impossible to turn on the Data Connection at all. I backtracked and located the problem as the Hard SPL, since when I flashed the radio stack back to stock, the problem was still present, and when I flashed Stock SPL back, everything went back to working fine.
Since I'm new to the scene, I wasn't really sure what was going on, so I don't really understand what the problem is.
Anyone have anything to say about either of those problems (constructive advice)?
Thanks in advance.
How about the T-Mobile Wireless Configurizationalator?
http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/
thanks,
i've tried that, using several different windows mobile devices listed under the HTC menu, but each different configuration that they offer yields the same results.
I don't know where you're based in, but I just had that problem too here in downtown Chicago. I tried it with my Hermes, and it didn't work either. I called T-Mobile and they said something about a "global disruption" to their data network. Not sure what exactly that meant but it works here in the Gold Coast, about 15 minutes north of downtown.
oh, i see.
well i guess i'll give them a call tomorrow, and see if i can get it to work with their help. thanks for the info, now i'm kind of relieved it's not something broken on my end. haha.

Depending on what data plan you have ($5.99 T-Zones or $19.99 Total Internet) you may need to change your server and/or proxy settings. By default, the HTC Connection Wizard sets the "T-mobile Data" connection to wap.voicestream.com, so you may need to change that.
Log in to your my.t-mobile.com and check your services to see which one you're using. Then do a search here on XDA for your service (T-Zones or Total Internet) and you'll find the settings you need.
thanks. i looked all that up and it turns out that i was supposed to soft reset it after i set things up, which i did not know about, so i didn't do. i also found a cab file for the t-zone settings, which might have helped too. for some reason weather doesn't update with the edge network though, and i don't know why. any clue?
thanks again.
Hey everyone
i'm pretty new to the whole nexus s scene, as i've had this device for about a week now. I've rooted my phone successfully and i'm running MIUI's latest ROM..1.8.5 i believe. Now for the problem..
For some odd reason I'm unable to connect to my 3G network at all (yes, data is enabled in the settings, and set to 3g prefered/2g/only 3g..still nothing). Usually there'd be that green "3G" on top bar of my screen, but it doesn't show up. Now i rely on wifi to go online, which isnt a problem...but it feels like my money's being cheated if i dont use my data in occasional situations. I've tried flashing it again and again, but no results. I've flashed my phone to the Oxygen ROM, and the little 3G icon appeared, indicating that data is enabled (i forgot to actually check if it worked LOL). I haven't found anyone else experiencing this problem with MIUI, but i've found threads on them having some sort of difficulty with their data. If anyone could help me out, or direct me to a thread that has a possible solution, i would really appreciate it ~ thank you in advance.
Also, I'm on Fido.....if that helps.
I'm on the latest miui and I don't have that issue try toggling the airline mode to see if it will kick it in. If not really download the Tom and do a clean install see if that works.

hey, i've tried toggling the airline and it doesn't help. also, what do you mean by "the Tom"?
What happens when you try to connect with just 3G (what type of error do you receive)? Miui's stock 3G icon is white
Also, I think the other gentleman meant to spell ROM

He meant rom, auto correct changes the word rom, I think you need to wipe and reflash the rom.
hey, i've just tried reflashing the rom...and still no 3g ): !
also, when i enable data, and set it to 3g..there's no error. there's simply no "3g" icon on the top, and i can't connect.
Did u try manually inputting your apn? Sometimes providers don't push the settings to you
what exactly would i put in for my apn? sorry, total noob here :/
Go to menu>settings>system>mobile network setting>access point names. Do u have an entry there? You should. If not, you need to check with your network provider for the settings.
i've just tried putting in the APN settings (copied the stuff from the APN settings when 3g works on the oxygen ROM). is there anything else i havent filled in and should? cuz....it still doesnt work
Not really. Create it, fill it, save it, choose it and restart. Should work, it always did for me
How's the battery life on that rom
Seems ok to me. 3g uses alot of juice since the service is crappy in my country. Otherwise, best rom I tried
dang :/ still nothing... i've noticed something though. when im on my oxygen rom and search for networks..the option "Fido" pops up. when im on MIUI, the option "Rogers Wierless" pops up in the place of "Fido" .___." that may have something to do with it...
Same problem here on desire s.
When I try to change the apn setting I get a force close.
Cheers, Cor
Hi, i just want to know if there's any option to change network type to 3G ONLY (or 2G only). The options in settings are preferred network so they switch to another network type when needed, and I dont like that.
I tried *#*#4636#*#* and change it from there but it still goes back to original setting.
Any tricks/solution out there? Thanks!!!
I used to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/widget-toggle-network-type-5-0-xda-t2945406 but it's not working for me after installing CM14.1. Some people say it's working in their devices with Android 7 though, so give it a try and see. Needs root.
If it doesn't work and you ever find an alternative, please do let us know here.

Hi, I think I found a solution. I still use the *#*#4636#*#* code and choose WCDMA Only and leave it as it is. I noticed that it only goes back to original network type IF I enter the "Cellular network settings" screen (**even without changing any options in it). So just stay away on that part in Settings and your network will stay as you selected.

Yeah, I was aware of that. That behavior (reverting to the selected mode in settings upon opening the activity) was introduced in Marshmallow. Who knows why. Unfortunately this is still not ideal for me because I usually keep the phone in 2G only unless I need a faster connection. With that plugin, which no longer works, I could use Tasker to change network modes depending on contexts or a simple tap in Tasker's persistent notification buttons, which I had configured to do just that. Going into the dialer, entering the code and then navigating through the option every time I need to change modes is too much work, but I guess I have no other option until either the dev updates his plugin or another plugin is developed.
Thanks anyway, mate.
Hello.
My T699 started to switch to EDGE, I couldn't make any call. Tried hardreset (wipe all data from recovery menu), it helped for a moment, but after that it got even worse (can't find any mobile network).
Please help. How do I fix this?

You didn't change SIM-card and/or location? Maybe your modem is dying.
Switched to GSM only. Seems to work that way for a month. But I would really like to get 3G back. Any suggestions?
I had a problem like that once after flashing a rom and messed with my access point names and I was able to get 3G/4G after that. I found the info via searching, I believe.
settings -> more settings -> mobile networks -> access point names
I made a new one and it worked for me. I looked up settings online and tried a different one than what was in there. I'm still using epc.tmobile.com but most of my searching told me to use fast.t-mobile.com, iirc. It's been a long time but I think making the epc one is what fixed my issue. It's worth a try.
It can be too complicated to search through the network access points. Take T Mobile for example. They have literally hundreds of available networks you may find listed, but they're quite different. Rather than trying to figure all that out, and it really sounds like matters got complicated for you, I would just flash in the original software. The firmware for any Galaxy S Relay I believe should currently be the same as T Mobiles version running Android 4.1.2. The Build number for that is, T699UVBOH1. You can find the firmware here, https://samsung-firmware.org/downlo...-T-Mobile-__/8k20/TMB/T699UVBOH1/T699TMBBOH1/
Take note that the firmware is listed as Android 6.0.1, which is incorrect. I have no idea why it's listed as such on an official Samsung page and have written to them about the error. Flash it to your device via Odin3. For this device I use Odin3.07 or 3.09.
Hi all,
I noticed this recently, biggest potential thing I can think of was the February software update.
Long story short 1) I have no use for 5G service for battery / data reasons as I pay by the gig. 2) I'm on GoogleFi so there's potential carrier aggregation woowoo going on.
I do the standard Mobile Data>Network Mode> Select LTE/3G/2G and the phone sticks with that for a time. However it will, seemingly at random, revert to the GLOBAL network mode which has 5G. It will 100% trigger this change if I reset the phone.
Would just like to confirm this behavior with any other user and figure out how to make it stop as it is pretty infuriating that I have to keep manually making this change, in addition to the fact that it's really, really not great from a security standpoint that the phone can be induced somehow to alter specific user settings.
Thanks for the help.

Quick edit: I have already gone into safe mode and changed network and reset, didn't hold. Also went into the dialer menu *#*#4636#*#* and changed the network mode, and it still reverts.
Same here.

Can I ask what carrier you're on?
Orange, esim.
I was having the same issue, this seems to work
