These are the changes that Tmobile made to the phone

By going through the manual & comparing it to the EU version I've compiled a list of things tmous has changed on the phone. (in case anyone was interested)
Removed:
Quick Lookup - ability to select something & choose lookup through Google, Wikipedia, etc
Show Me app
Ebook reader completely missing even though HTC widget is still there
Voice Recorder
Voice Dialer
Dock settings
Locations
The Device Setup on first boot is missing things
Added:
Wifi calling (Tmobile's UMA feature)
I wonder why Tmobile removed all of these?
Here is a Voice Recorder app in the market that someone recommended since ours is missing:

Did they keep Locations? And the quick look up thing is actually useful...dumb.

seems to be missing too. updated post.

Man why the **** is it 3 years since using a HTC Touch and they are still locking in bull**** accuweather with no zipcode search or cities that aren't major?
Ran into the voicerecorder bs.
Is there anyway to add any of those features back in or are they hard built into the rom?

What do you mean by "wifi calling"? is it calling via wifi using SIP provider?
If so, we do have it on our Vodafone UK branded units.
If it's something else, please explain.

well I guess it's good I havn't waited for the 4G to come and pre-ordered the British version.. just one thing, the WiFi Calling looks good.. (first time with Android and HTC xD) is there any way to get it in the UK Sensation Z710e ?

T-Mobile is a pretty cool system. When you're at home (or on a WiFi network that doesn't do much filtering), phone calls, SMS, and MMS inbound or outbound route through WiFi instead of the cellular network. I've noticed this has the benefit of improving battery life while on WiFi, as it turns off the WCDMA (3G/4G) radio. It actually seems like it might turn off the cellular radio completely, I'll have to check when I get home.
The one downside is that if you are on the phone and walk away from your WiFi network, it will drop the call. It can't hand off.
I'm not sure if this is common in Europe, but in the states, many wireless carriers offer femtocell units that users can install in their home if they have bad reception. WiFi calling eliminates the need for that.

Wifi calling will notify you of a mms but it will not download the message. At least that's my experience with the G2x.

ah sorry was just going off what I've been told regarding MMS. I actually don't use SMS or MMS, I use google voice for "SMS" purposes and don't have any use for MMS (if someone wants to send me a photo they just email it).

I have an unbranded phone from HK but also have Show Me and Locations. (Maybe the other stuff too - didn't check).

I think it shuts off the radio as well. My buddy had it turned on by accident & was freaking out because he was on wifi & showed no signal bars.

A similar feature to the TMOUS "wifi calling" is offered in the UK by BT Mobile. They call it BT Fusion.
Fem2cell is available here from Vodafone, known as Sure Signal

Good call, I'm gonna need wifi calling at the very least before I'll hop over to an alternate ROM (who am I kidding I'm sure I won't be able to resist). The my account app is handy but it's in the market anyway (there was an update a day or two ago).

When you say Dock Settings is there a separate App/Icon for the EU version or are the settings completely gone from withing the Settings Menu?

Guys, try installing these apk's for loacations . Not sure about last 2, try firs 2 at first, and then add last two if needed. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try

[Q] Simultaneous voice and data no longer working?

I don't know when this started. I can no longer use data while a voice call is in-progress. :-\ I'm currently running CleanRom 6.5, but haven't seen this as an issue in those forums (though it's been a while since I've perused them). I'm on AT&T, by the way.
How can I go about troubleshooting this? I don't even know where to start, and googling "at&t voice and data problems" is unfortunately too vague to turn up anything which actually pertains to my problem.

Is it while you're on LTE? I remember reading a long time ago that LTE on this device (maybe others too) switches off when a voice call is made/received. So if you're set to be on LTE only, that could be the cause perhaps?

Is there an option for LTE only, or some way to do that? If so, I was not aware.
But I think your point is valid. It may be a switching problem, trying the other Network mode options might help.
Or there may just be a switching issue on the network side, that you can't do anything about (except report it to your carrier).

There sure is, if you enter the phone information menu through dialer (*#*#4636#*#*).

Ah, I figured it was via the "secret" dialer code.
Seems like a poor option to pick (LTE only), since LTE is not present in so many locations.

Yeah I highly doubt that option would be used very much, but it is a possible cause for this problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I opened the testing window via my dialer, and the selected option is "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto". So SEEMS like it should automatically get on something other than LTE. Weird.
Thanks again!

You can select LTE only within apn settings. Bearer type I think it's called or something. It's at the bottom. Doing so causes my network to stop working even in areas where I get LTE.

Try removing your Sim card, cleaning it with an eraser and resetting it.
99% of the time any data issues are dirty or jostled Sim cards. (Also make sure data is enabled in settings)

He has data. It just cuts out while on a call. I think we sorted it out anyway.

The switching does not always happen correctly, its a known issue on AT&T's network on this and other devices (although I haven't seen your specific problem before, with data and voice not working simultaneously).
You can also specify some network types in Settings>Mobile network>Network mode (without the dialer code) on CleanROM (its locked out on stock the AT&T ROM). Try to force WCDMA and see if that helps.

Samsung Galaxy s8 plus G955U1 unlocked version wifi calling verizon

I have Galaxy S8 plus G955U1 unlocked version using verizon network and I would like to know if there is any way to have WiFi-Calling working on my device? I have VoLTE but wifi calling is disabled and my phone still has premium care warranty and I do not want Root or flashing rom due to the fact I do not want to mess with my phone. If theres an easy way to get wifi-calling can you suggest me how I heard about shortcut master? Please update me!! Thanks.

I'm in the same boat. I don't think it can be activated without some sort of modification.
Sent from my SM-G955U1 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I was able to activate video calling through the app called "shortcut master lite" but the wifi calling toggle was there but it is not accessable i think it needs some extra codes to put it in.. wifi calling is enabled but the toggle is disabled.

Yea I can see video calling options on my dialer but I have not tested it if it works, you need to call someone from verizon that has video call also...
If you download "Messages+" app from verizon you can use that app and make txt and mms messages even without signal as long as there is wifi I just found that out today. i tried to put on airplane mode but I was able to make text through that verizon messaging app.
I really need wifi-calling activated badly let me know if you have some news

Why not just call tech support and have them reprovision your line? There is some settings that need to be reset on their end.

The only way it will work that I know of is to flash the VZW U version. Believe me I've tried everything and this will also give visual voicemail as well.

I got my S8+ (Canadian model G955W) and it was originally with another carrier. I couldn't enable WiFi calling and some other carrier specific stuff did not work. What I did was change the CSC to the carrier I am with. CSC's are responsible for a lot of things, like the quick toggles in notification panel, WiFi calling settings, MMS size limits, etc. You can check the contents of the CSC files at /system/csc/
I suggest you try flashing CSC from a Verizon stock ROM, and then using the following code in the "Dialer" app to switch the CSC: *#272*[device imei]*
Example: *#272*355154154163115*
You should get a screen like the screenshot I attached, which will let your select your CSC.
BACK UP YOUR STUFF WITH SMARTSWITCH OR SAMSUNG CLOUD AS IT WILL DO A FACTORY RESET AND INSTALL THE CORRECT CSC CONFIGURATION!!!
EDIT: Here is the correct CSC pulled from the latest Verizon firmware (G955USQU1AQK3, Nov. 8). Try flashing it with ODIN and let us know if it works after configuring CSC with the dialer code! LINK: https://drive.google.com/open?id=13xboPjVTDuWBqL2jj4bzQiFi-VVSJ3Xj

VoLTE option disappearee?

Hey,
for about a month I've been having problems with calls going directly to the voicemail and not reaching me. I use 4g cause 3g has very bad connection where I live.
Now I am almost 100% sure there was a VoLTE option that I could check/uncheck in the mobile network options, but it seems it has disappeared.
Is there a way to disable VoLTE? Cause I read my problem comes from having it enabled, but now that the option is gone, I can't disable.
Phone is European version, I didn't flash anything or so, 100% stock

Anyone, please?

what's your access point name? have you chosen it to correct carrier? have you recently change carriers, if so that may the the problem not supporting the correct LTE bands for that carrier.

The APN I can only choose one, which is the correct one.
The carrier, there might be something about this. Recently my service provider merged with another, but I can only use one it seems. See the picture attached. Also thanks again .
Edit: When I searched for a carrier manually the first time, there was no 4G E-Plus. There was only 3g. Does this tell us something?

I use FRD-AL10,..Does it support VolTE?

Question 2G on A13

Can anyone who has already upgraded a Pixel 6a to A13 tell me if the "Allow 2G" option is still available in Settings-->Networks-->SIMs ?
Some people on twitter are saying that they cannot set 2G as a "preferred" network anymore, not sure what it implies.

The option is still here yes. However, you can't set 2G as the preferred network type.

Try this..
Open Dialer
type :- *#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone info
Select Preferred Network type & Scroll Down & select "GSM Only"

Thank you guys.
Current situation is bizarre for me. I need 2G working for voice only. My carrier is switching 3G off, and I cannot have VoLTE working (despite the corresponding option being enabled and carrier saying that it should work). Currently, when I make a phone call, the 4G data connection gets disabled and voice travels over 3G or 2G. When the phone call is over, 4G data connection gets back on. Since 3G is being switched off, if 2G suddenly became totally unavailable, I simply couldn't make phone calls anymore.

Not sure if you have tried enabling this option in the SIM settings (something to do with the Tensor Security settings as Google deem 2G to be less secure.
