Hello,
I have a carrier unlocked Pixel 2 walleye that is rooted (magisk, no custom recovery) and on Verizon
android version 8.1.0
build #OPM1.171019.021
when I try to activate wifi calling, i get the spinning circle for a long time, and then it finally says "unable to activate wi-fi calling. please try again later"
I have HD voice activated on my verizon wireless account.
I tried the VoEnabler module in Magisk
Wifi calling is turned on in the phone info screen (*#*#4636#*#*)
The only thing i guess i haven't tried is installing a Verizon ROM instead of the stock Google ROM.
Before I went that route, I wanted to check here and see if anyone else was able to get it to work for them.
Thanks in advance.
ok so i had this issue twice on the same phone and i am rooted as well. i think the only way to get it to work is to disable root, activate wifi calling, then reactivate root.
I have enabled this feature while rooted on 2 different PIxel 2's.
This sounds silly but turn off wifi and try to activate it. I've been unable to input my address during the activation process multiple times unless I am on cellular.
thanks for the suggestions everyone. with wifi turned off, it still won't work. I'll try the unroot path next time there is a new system update. It's not a critical need at the moment, but it is rather annoying that i can't activate it.

I don't think your problem is related to root unless it's a Magisk module of some kind that's the problem. I'm on Verizon, rooted with Magisk. I haven't had wireless calling turned on but after seeing your post I thought I'd check and see if it works on mine. It connected without any problems for me.
Did you ever figure this out?

I'm having a similar issue, except that I can enable wifi calling but always get the "Turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network" message when attempting to place a wifi call. Everything with regard to wifi calling is set up correctly. I thought I had this narrowed down to Oreo version and patch level, but I honestly can't come up with a repeatable scenario that breaks it. About all I can say for sure is it seems like when I flash back to bone stock, OPM1.171019.021, wifi calling works as expected. However, it seems to break after a while, even without applying any updates. My gut says it's related to root, but I've also seen it work with root. I also have a suspicion it has something to do with the type of authentication on the wifi network, as the first time I ever saw wifi calling work was when I connected to an open SSID. The problem is, right after that, it worked fine on a WPA2 network on which it never worked before. This is on Verizon with a Pixel 2 from the Google Store. I have a hard time believing it's a Verizon issue, though. It's more like the phone does a check for wifi connectivity and returns "false" for some reason.
*** I should add all my testing has been done by turning on airplane mode (thus disabling LTE/3G) and then enabling wifi. My office at work has horrendous cell coverage, but I haven't gotten it down to zero bars without airplane mode to see if it works then.

I've been having Wi-fi issue's ever since i bought the phone, traded it in for another one, and still had the wi-fi issue.
MY WI-FI issue was:
My phone would connect to my router the first time, and if i restart my phone the Wireless Symbol is still connected, but there are errors not letting me connect to the MARKET, or the WEB BROWSER!
i'm very upset! but i do love this phone, and i hate that this one wifi issue is ruining it for me!
i dont want to keep on factory resetting it over and over again!
I don't want to:
ROOT It
QUESTION:
WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS? :[
Wait for GB or nothing
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
what percentage would u give it that the wi-fi issue will be fixed in the next update?
It seems the wifi problem is caused by the bloatwares, probably myaccount. either way, after I uninstall those my wifi works like a charm.
how were u able uninstall them?!

I have this issue sometimes. I can get the wifi to work by:
1. Turning off wifi
2. Turning on 4G data
3. Turning off 4G data
4. Turning on wifi again
Hope this helps.
I had a similar problem. Wifi would show connected to my router, but it would only sporadically let me actually access anything (market and browser).
Then, by chance when I was trying to use the browser, I got a message that read: You do not have the correct data plan for this device.
I hit the chat support on T-Mobile. Apparently, a feature had not been enabled on my service. (My SIM was in my Nokia N900 before and it worked fine on HSPA+). The support tech enabled it and my G2x was working in 10 mins. Never had any more problems.
There was no charge and no change in my data plan -- it was just some config thing about my account.

It's a shame LG has forced its customers to do weird dances just to get basic functions to work.
Do you have a trick to get the battery to last a day?

If you are having WiFi problems with stock ROM, it is either your hardware (unlikely) or possibly an issue with your TMo account and/or SIM. I have had no issues with mine - either before or after rooting and flashing a few ROM's. I have My Account still working - no effect.
If you are looking to CM7 to make it better - not in the immediate future. I have it on another device, and a notable issue with CM7 WiFi is that it is not as strong or stable as stock.
You should get TMo tech support on the phone and have them address your problem. If a tweak to your data account and/or a new SIM doesn't fix it - you should demand a replacement phone.
All this assumes it is not problems with your WiFi Router - I have had a few issues with some where having more then one or two devices active caused connection problems.

I rooted the device, and removed carrier preloaded apps and made sure my wifi was set to not disable when the screen turned off. I had had issues with wifi calling before and after all that, the audio is crisp and the wifi rarely drops
work around
With a stock configuration you can clear
this problem when it occurs with
setdns app (free).
It restores working dns configuration.
When this is NOT sufficient you may also have to
disable then reenable your wifi. I installed a one-click
wifi on/off app (free) for this.
This is also necessary to force a reconnect when you
go in and out of a memorized wifi zone - it will rarely
reconnect automatically.
I found that rooting the device and freezing the bloatware
only improves the situation only slightly so I don't believe it's
worth the time.
This is at least the 4th wifi thread that's been opened and I've
posted this workaround before. Can we sticky one of these??

Has anyone else experienced this? The update downloaded and installed just fine. All apps seem to run fine, just cannot connect to my wifi network. In fact it doesn't seem to even see any networks.
I did not have my device activated for a Verizon Data Plan, and when I try and go through the "Activate Device" process that fails as well.
Thanks

Which update did you apply, was it an OTA update or one you found someplace else either on XDA or grabbed from the web?
As far as I know the only working update for a 3g Xoom is going out OTA to testers, and no one has grabbed a link for the zip install, so what did you install?

I installed the OTA using the trick to stop Google Framework Services and force the update check.
Before I have you go and do a whole bunch of crazy stuff, let me ask the simple question...have you rebooted your tablet and tried WiFi again?
Also, just so I understand the exact problem, is it that WiFi won't turn on, or is it that it does turn on but just doesn't find any WiFi networks?
Seems okay here. Unrooted and relocked and manually applied updates one by one.

It's that it doesn't find any networks.
EDIT: works now, for some reason after the update wifi was set to 5GHz only and couldn't find any networks. Setting it to Auto resolves the issue. Strangely also the Verizon 3g works now as well.
Thanks for the responses.
wifi not working after Jelly Bean update
My Xoom tablet (Wi-Fi only) just got an OTA update to Jelly Bean.
The Wi-Fi network has stopped working. The network is found and shows as "saved". If I tell the tablet to forget the connection, it will re-save it but it will not process the "connect" command. I am trying to connect to an open hotel network while on business travel. I was connected to this network during the upgrade but now I can't reconnect. I've rebooted and it doesn't do anything different.
Also, when the tablet boots, it still displays the ICS splash screens but after it boots, it has all the new Jelly Bean features.
I am currently unable to use the tablet at all for networking since it does not have any cellular capability.
What now????
=========
UPDATE: After sitting with Wi-Fi turned off and sleeping for about 20 minutes, the Wi-Fi now is working. I didn't touch anything. Previously, it wouldn't load the network and I rebooted it at least 4 times. Weird. but now it's working so I'm happy...
I recently had my Sprint Note 5 Unlocked. Now I am looking for my hotspot button and its not here. I can manually search for the hotspot and find it in settings. When I turn it on it says its on. But I get no icon on my status bar. I see it in other devices but it will not connect.
Anyone else have this problem or any solutions?

Know what you might need to do? Install foxfi, the free version- and then run the hotspot from that app. After that, the config that app sets up might fix your issue.
If that does not work, try to sideload the foxfi key app. Now that is a paid app, so if you want to go through other means to get it that is up to you. Then, use the main foxfi app again. It should work.
I noticed that foxfi has some type of certificate a few years ago, that fixes issues that can come from using root to enable native tethering. It worked then, and it worked for me now on an SM-N920P.
Let me know if it works.
I researched and tried everything I could but running GSM on our CDMA phone simply would never let me increase number of connections above 1. You can change it up to 10 IF you don't care about GSM phone calls and switch the radio to the regular Cdma/lte/auto. I just did that since I did not want or need calls while I was using it as my homes wifi source.
Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ot-working-but-network-bars-are-there.844978/
Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.
Just to be sure, datasave is turned off?

Yep, that is off. I have also reset my APN setting and double checked them with my provider, it didn't help.
No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.
Folks,
I have been having some very annoying issues with my LG V50 and was wondering if anyone else has.
I have been having issues getting Hot Spot to work. It has only worked for a very brief time since I got the phone. It is working now though. I get an error about Tethering Functionality not working right now and to try again later.
I called Verizon and 1st level was unable to diagnose it and they opened a ticket. This was 4 days ago and Verizon has not contacted me.
I also had another issue which I've now discovered is related to my Hot Spot issue. So, I use an app called TuneIn Radio Pro. That app keeps thinking that I don't have network connectivity. (On cellular....on wifi it works). I've since discovered that when my Hot Spot works, that app works. When hot spot doesn't work that app also doesn't. I run speedtests and it connects. I seemingly have internet connectivity but interestingly I also cannot access tunein's web page from Chrome. But I can get to other sites. Seemed like a DNS issue but since it is working now, (and I have time) I can't test it.
Again, right now, Hot Spot is working. It has only worked for the last 4 hours and part of one other day since I got the phone 6 days ago.
Another issue (which I am hoping is a setting)....Voice input does not work when connected to bluetooth. So "OK Google" or voice input (Google) via the keyboard does not work.
Any thoughts?
I just tried setting up a hotspot and it seems there are quite a few more options than I had on my V30. I did get it to work once I chose to "unhide my phone" under the setup options. There's also a timeout due to inactivity, share wifi instead of mobile data, and the ability to block connections. I guess it's possible one of these could be giving you an problem. I would think if you have the share wifi selected but you're not connected to wifi that might create a problem...just guessing
I don't use Tune-in so can't really help with that specifically but I've had no issues streaming with other apps.
As for voice commands, I can't bring myself to talk to my devices and I have as much of it turned off as possible.

So this issue has still been going on. My hotspot will work for a day or two and then it goes back to this error condition. But now I have been going on 4+ straight days where it hasn't been working. So, I have stumbled across a situation where I can get hotspot to work.
I have OpenVPN app on my phone. If I open a VPN session (I have 2 connections to my home routers), I can then get the hotspot to start. Interestingly, hotspot traffic is not going over the VPN. I can even turn off the VPN and the hotspot stays on. But I cannot restart it unless I turn on the VPN.
This issue isn't being caused by any software on my phone. As when I first got the phone and this issue came up, I performed a factory reset and when the phone started up for the 1st time, I immediately tried the hotspot and I got the error.
I also called Verizon today to find out what was going on with my ticket from 2 weeks ago. It was escalated and then closed by the network team with no explanation. Sigh....So they re-opened it. The tech on the phone also called LG while working with me and LG told her that they've seen this issue, but no additional info.
Has anyone with a Verizon V50 been able to consistently use the Hotspot without issues? I am having so many problems with this phone that I am ready to throw it out the window. In addition to the issues I stated earlier, I also found this morning that I was not able to get to eBay (In addition to TuneIn.com). I had to switch to wi-fi and then eBay loaded just fine. Since then, eBay seems to work. IMO, this is a network problem
Over the last 2 weeks, my Hotspot worked from Friday to mid day Sunday. (maybe coincidence) And therefore tunein.com worked. Other than that, I get the error.
Verizon had been completely worthless. They closed my first trouble ticket. My second ticket has been open for 3 weeks without progress. I called today and they put me on with Level 2. I had to run to a meeting after a while, the Level 2 person said no problem tell me when to call you back. I told him 2 hours and he said no problem.....and no call.
I am just curious if others are using Hotspot successfully.
Thanks,
Update to my previous post....I haven't been able to launch the hotspot functionality since yesterday morning. I get the message of "An error occured when activating this functionality. Please try again later."
I may try a factory reset to see if that changes anything...
Decided to factory reset. That didn't change anything. Without installing anything after it was done I tried to create a hotspot and got the same error message.

THANKS!!! Exactly the message I've been getting.
Verizon has not been helpful until now. They've pretty much ignored me and closed my tickets.
Hopefully I get further along. I got a better tech support person this time. He escalated it to the network engineering team. This is a network problem as if I start a VPN session (using OpenVPN Connect), I am able to launch the hotspot.
The hotspot is a symptom, not the cause. I am just curious if you have the same exact problem as me, when you are not able to launch the hotspot, bring up a browser and try to go to tunein.com (through Verizon's network, not over wi-fi). Mine won't work. When the hotspot is working, I am able to get to tunein.com
Yep, exactly the same issue. The tunein link and the Connect Garmin app give me the same error. After I sign in to Garmin on wifi it will work as normal but definitely indicates some type of network issue.

I just got an update pushed. System Update 2 V450VM10f.
After the update, the Hotspot seems to work. I am also able to navigate to those URLs where I couldn't get to previously.

While I am now able to launch the Hotspot, that feature is not very reliable. It stays up and "running" but my laptop will stop working after some period. Usually I get about 5-20 minutes of usage. If I disconnect my laptop and re-connect, it starts to work. (But a pain as I VPN in to work and I have to start that all over)
This phone has been a an exercise in frustration.
