I had read around November 10th. But I didn't see any source for that comment.

You do realize that they'll be selling it for about 600 bucks, right? Their N4 is currently being sold outright at $427.99, a gigantic markup from the actual MSRP.
Avoid buying a Nexus from T-Mobile at all costs, unless you're really desperate to spread the payments out. Either way, you're looking at 600 bucks.

Will the T-Mobile marked up version support Wi-Fi calling? That feature was a boon when I was overseas (or in flight) and called home via wifi.

Sadly, no. No Nexus phone has ever had T-Mobile wifi calling and thats not going to change.

That's my question too. It would be worth a new 2 year commitment if I could get wifi calling.
I'm also waiting for Tmobile to 'force' me into a family simple choice plan with some kind of incentive.

Didn't the T-mobile sold version of Nexus 4 have Wi-Fi calling? I could be wrong (never owned it).

maybe this time, the wifi calling bits from the LG G2 will find their way into a N5 ROM.

Nope. TMo sold the same exact device that you would get if you purchased from the Play Store.

That is possible! Someone was working on an Optimus G port for the Nexus 4 last year!

I had asked around in some threads to find out if that was true awhile ago. It's because the phone was meant to be unlocked (Tmobile locked it) that they couldn't put it on. It's just not compatible.

5.1.1

Got the update. 5.1.1. Added the Android Security Patch date im About Phonee. Tried to activate wifi calling but it keeps saying try again later. There are a few visual tweaks as well. I'm not super versed on emojis but since they are supposed to come with 5.1.2 I assume they are not included (I assume Samsung also has to make there awful version of them)
EDIT: figured it out. I had something disabled with package disabler that prevented it from being setup. I re-enabled all packages then worked fine then re-disabled the same ones. Working on figuring out the specific one.

I took the update and foxfi is still working on my phone. Have unlimited data also

Process of elimination has told me it has to do with the Verizon Login (red square with padlock and key in PackageDisabler) com.motricity.verizon.ssodownloadable that may be the culprit. But I was going by if it would let me update my address location for e911 since I had it activated. Hopefully that works for them!

Did you also receive the email from VZW about the price increase for unlimited data users?, additional $20 a month per line.

The update also brings Youtube live broadcast. What about wireless charging got fixed? What was the issue in the first place?
Edit: Oh, and the 4g logo finally gets greyed out when wifi enabled. Not sure if that will help battery drain or not.

Whoa wifi calling doesn't count against your minutes if you have a limited minute plan. Finally no need to use a ****ty voip app.

Black friday was after the cut off, even though the date was 11/15 for the $20 fee it was really 11/14 any sims activated on 11/15 were charged. Anyone who upgraded before 11/14 should be fine until their contract expires...Verizon even said so in their press release. The $20 isn't so bad when you think about it, you can now have unlimited minutes with wifi calling and you can do DPP upgrades now which beats the hell out of paying full price for a phone.

I also renewed my contract on early November and locked in the same $29.99 pricing. VZW sent an email couple months back warning unlimited customers that this would happened on 11/15. My bill is still showing me the same price. Foxfi also works on the latest software update!
Question: How do you use wifi calling?

The new icons are horrible.

New Firmware Update Canadian Freedom Mobile H915 Is Available.

I'm installing it now, will let you know if it enables LTE when it's done.
No, no Freedom Mobile LTE yet, but I live on the far west end on Toronto, may be just out of the LTE zone, will check when I go to work in the a.m. And I have the LTE plan. And I just checked, in Mobile Network options under Network Mode only GSM/WCDMA is available.

I'm really not interested in root or unlocking the bootloader on this. There's really no need that I can see. Everything works excellent as is and I'm tired of not being able to use tap and pay along with other apps that don't work with root. All so i can have my clock centred? Or run some hack rom with all the LG system apps removed because yoy know... "Debloated". I have a nexus 6p for when i want to run something custom. For the first time in years i don't feel the need to root and having themes is good enough for me.

i got the update on the 23rd, and shortly after the update, i got 2 text messages from freedom mobile with Some sort of setting links in the text messages(guy at the store said id get them after the update). after i opened them both, LTE was enabled.
and its working Amazingly! 40mbps on the download and 16mbps on the upload. SUPER responsive.
Also, i live in north York area. i used to not be able to take any kind of phone calls in my basement. i can now call freely anywhere in my house. the new LTE band seems to have better penetration in my area at least.

I'm on the fence as to whether I want to switch over to Freedom Mobile, for two reasons:
1. Currently, there's no unlocked bootloader for H915.
2. Freedom mobile network coverage / reception quality.
Hearing that you're getting better network service is definitely good news.

1. I agree, but I'm hopeful.
2. I'm going back to work today. I'll post what it's like there. Work in Etobicoke/Mississauga in a big warehouse. Garbage reception before. I'll let you know how the new lte is with the H915.
The price of the plan is too good, and my previous oneplus one which had water damage was becoming a safety concern. Battery was puffy out so much that the screen was unglued it's self. So I had to do something.

I just switched over to Freedom myself from Rogers. Was paying $120 a month for 3GBs, unlimited calling, text etc. And I'm on the $30 plan with the same features and so far it's been good to me. Currently on my 6P as im waiting for the next shipment of V20s to come in.

I'm happy with it. It's basicly a Galaxy Note 7 without the self-combustion feature. I'll be a whole lot happier with it once I've got root access. My plan is the their $55 everywhere package which included 2400 min and 1GB, on all roaming networks in Canada and US. Their network is a little spotty, but since I can switch over to a roaming network when this happens, I'm happy. I was previously with Bell at $110/month. For a plan with more more features at half the cost, I'll take a spotty network.

Yea I ended up getting one myself earlier this month. It really does remind of a Note 7 too. I love the whole mini screen up top. Certainly helps with the multitasking since I do a lot of that. The only reeaaaal complaint I have about it is the quality of the camera. Pictures don't seem to be coming out as good as what others are getting. I've already updated the firmware (Description of it said "Improved Camera quality") so I thought it would get better but it hasn't.

Gigabit LTE with LAA enabled on USA unlocked S8+?

I have been seeing speeds between MD and VA go up to 100/30. But its been spotty. They definitely have their priority towers but without a doubt they are doing upgrades. I am hoping this new technology will help with weak spots more than I care about the speeds personally. My coverage in my home dropped during these upgrades. I have even had my S8+ ask if I wanted to make a wifi call when I lost signal all together. I live between three freaking towers. Has been better after the updates.

I am running stock Verizon S8+. It has taken the updates this week but I have been getting the 100/30 +/- for about 3-4 weeks in MD and DC, and the last week or two here in spots of Central VA. I have not rooted as I just didn't see the reason to yet, so these are straight numbers.

I tried flashing the latest S8+ VZW firmware, no change in speeds... reverting back to S8+ Unlocked until people in NYC area indicate it's live. Thanks.

Long time ATT customer, have plan with Hotspot, will unlocked Z Fold 2 Hotspot work?

Hello, long time ATT customer, but decided to buy Unlocked through Samsung this time. My ATT Unlimited plan includes 30GB of Hotspot. Will the unlocked Z Fold 2 Hotspot work correctly?
Thanks!

It should fully support all US carriers in terms of provisioning for hot spots (and everything else) and Mobile Tech Review did mention that the unlocked phone was fully working with AT&T in their hands on video.

I pre-ordered unlocked version as well but now I'm having second thoughts because I will be losing VoLTE, WiFi Calling and visual VM.
Is it possible to get these features on unlocked versions?

The phone should provision itself when you put in the sim card. What you get out of that is hard to say as they only provision what they support but again, Lisa mentioned that 5G worked on both AT&T and Tmo, VoLTE worked on both, cant remember if she mentioned calling or visual. She did say something to the effect that everything was working but that was a few days ago and I don't recall it exact. I'm on Fi and and my phones always provision up just fine.

I am more interested if the question from original poster is answered. Will the hot spot work on unlocked US version? I am using it every day really heavily. I don't have anything in my AT&T plan for 30gb hot spot and I am not willing to pay them anything extra for my data that I am already paying for.

I have my Fold 2, Unlocked, am on ATT Unlimited Plan that includes 30GB hotspot. It is working fine. Visual Voicemail that came on the phone works as well. As posted above there is no WiFi calling, not sure on the VoLTE, I rarely use my phone, well, as a phone.
I guess it depends on what plan you are on. On my original 9G plan the hotspot just counted towards the 9G of data.
