Verizon VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling support on unlocked version - Moto Z4 Questions & Answers

Has anyone tried an unlocked version of Moto Z4 on Verizon (postpaid or prepaid) to see if it can work with VoLTE (Advanced Calling) and Wi-Fi calling? Or I've to really buy Verizon-branded version? Thanks.

I got the Verizon version with a new account from best buy for only $120. If you do device payments, it's only $5 a month thru best buy/$10 straight from Verizon. The 5G Mod is only $50 from Verizon right now, even though it only works in a few cities apparently. None of this answers your question, but maybe it'll help you make a decision anyway. I've had the phone since Monday and it's been great so far.

I have the Unlocked version. Seems to be working ok so far. I have not found anything not functioning properly.
I have not used an branded verizon phone in a long time. I usually look for an unlocked. I don't like all the crap that verizon pushes to your phone... Don't happen with unlocked... Go for the unlocked no regrets!!!
I have the MOTOROLA XT1980-3

unlocked moto z4, with Verizon sim
voip works, but not Verizon wifi or video calling
use dialer code *#*#4636#*#* then phone information
scroll down there's switches for voip, wifi calling, and video calling. voip works and was on by default after inserting Verizon SIM.
Wifi and video calling are greyed out, and off.
IDK if Verizon can install their drivers or not, I haven't asked them.
Voice over lte works.

I have a brand new Z4 XT1980-3 that I just unlocked (bootloader unlock). The only problem with this model is that WiFi calling and Video calling are not possible on Verizon. Apparently they don't support those features on the XT1980-3. Those features are only available on the Verizon version (XT1980-4). So now that I'm bootloader unlocked, can I just flash the XT1980-4 firmware on the phone? Is that even possible? And will it enable the advanced calling features? I already downloaded the May 2019 firmware from here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/motoro...e-and-firmware-collections-back-to-stock-rom/
Just want to make sure it's safe to flash, and if it will in fact enable WiFi and video calling on the Verizon network. Thanks!

Yes, I flashed the Verizon firmware and have WiFI/video calling working. You can still modify the VZW boot.img with Magisk and you will basically have a rooted Verizon phone.

S7 wont go into LTE tmobile unlocked/cricket sim

Sorry if this a repost of any nature I purchased a phone off a guy in cricket the other day who said his s4 was running faster then his s7.
so i got the s7 cheap.
I have the s7 now everything works except these factors:
1. the imei is 15 chrs and the imeisv is 2 chrs
2. i cant get it to go into LTE and the preferred networks are all 2g and 3g.
3. i have tried changing the APN's but to no avail when i type *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer i cant change it from wcdma prefferred to anything of the cdma/gsm/lte auto
the weather is stuck on London aswell.. if that helps any? and only allows update from 2g/3g network
im new to this anby havent messed with odin yet. it is unlocked for the wifi hotspot which cricket doesn't allow. which is odd to me.
tldr:
pretty much my problem is the internet is slow and the data is slow i want to be able to get it to faster speeds
any help would be appreciated

From what I've heard in other threads, I think that you have to call your carrier so they can unlock the phone. Then you will be able to use LTE, but since its the exynos it will show it as 4G, its the same thing.

My bad, I thought it was the exynos. Maybe that will help. https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html
Also you need to make sure that your phone has all the bands Cricket uses for LTE in your area. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G930TZKATMB
With this code you can change bands priority ##3282# but you will need the MLS code.
I'm not much of a help as I'm from Europe and dont really know about carrier phones. Seems like T-Mobile, for example, has unlocked only the bands it uses and not all the bands so you can't go to another carrier easily.
I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S7 and use it on AT&T, so you'll have no problems. Dial *#2263# and hit select all bands then hit apply band configuration. Exit and you should have LTE working. To confirm dial *#0011# and see what LTE band you're connected to.

I think you just got a lemon (bad) phone from the Cricket dealer. Try and get a warranty exchange through Samsung.

Verizon compatability

Hello,
Just received the HK version of the MI Mix 2s from Gearbest. I can briefly get LTE working, but have not had success with voice. The data drops out after a few minutes though. Has anyone else had success yet getting service on Verizon?
Thank you

Have you tried force enabling LTE via the code *#*#86583#*#* or setting the APN? Also please let me know if you get it working. Thinking of switching back to Verizon from T-Mobile to get better signal and am hoping this phone will work since the mix 2 does.
Don't you need the "high-end" 8GB RAM + 256GB storage option to have all bands including the Verizon ones?

No, if you buy global version (currently only available in Hongkong) you'll have all bands with 64gb and 128gb model too

I have the same problem on Verizon. Enable VoLTE helps. I'm hoping updates will fix that, otherwise I may have to sell this great phone. Unless someone else.has some fixes. I played with different APNs, everytip I could find, no luck. Anybody who has Verizon I'd wait till if there is a solution before buying.
After forcing Volte like mentioned above I am getting LTE and LTE+ on Verizon but if I try to send a text it fails

From what I can tell the cdma radio isn't being activated on my unit. This would explain why you get data/calls but can't send texts. I'm wondering if the global unit has cdma properly enabled.
If it helps, this is the networks I can see in my area in the US

I have the global unit too. From everything online I see the CDMA bands between the global mix2 and globlal mix2s are the same, but calls/texts do not work with VOLTE off on the mix2s, while they do on the mix2.
Either some of the bands aren't working, or there is some firmware difference preventing the mix2s from working properly on verizon.
I wonder if the dev rom will work, but I can't find any update packages to the dev rom and my bootloader is locked for another week.

How did you access a menu with ATT, Verizon, and Tmobile apns on it? I only see tmobile with my tmobile sim, and verizon with my verizon sim.
Edit: Found it under mobile networks tab w/ choose automatically unchecked
I'm new here.
One of my friend brought me a mi mix 2s 64 Go from China. It works perfectly on verizon.
As I'm not a specialist and wanted the global rom (and i'm a mac user...), I bought on ebay a 128 Go global one. I've just received it and impossible to have a connection to Verizon network!!!! It drives me crazy!!!!

Since he bought a 64gb model in China it has to be the Chinese version (or did he buy it in Hongkong?). Because the 64gb model must be a Chinese model the connection issue must be somewhere else... Are your apn settings correct? You should have just waited a little bit and flash global rom on your own, as soon as a fastboot rom is available it's done in 10 minutes
Not even connecting to the cellular network
So I've just bought a new Mi Mix 2S from gearbest and am having trouble connecting to Verizon in any capacity.
The first and largest problem (at least in my opinion) is that the phone shows no signal at all with the Verizon sim. It just shows unfilled signal bars with an 'x' next to it.
Second is that it appears as though I am not allowed to change the MCC or the MNC. This appears to be the case as when I try to complete this operation, the apn I am editing or creating either gets removed or does not save.
Got any advice?

I used a pre-existing sim/plan. I popped the Sim out of my axon 7 and just put it directly into the mi mix 2S. And for what it's worth, the axon 7 has had no Verizon connectivity issues for the better part of the past two years.
Should I just go to the Verizon store bad have tech support try to help?

I think that's your best option to see what they say, I'm from the UK so I don't have too much knowledge on Verizon themselves, BUT I do know (think I know lol) if you use a device not from them directly, you need to be using a pre-existing SIM/plan

OnePlus 8t TMobile Version - Question

So I have a kind of odd question maybe. I just purchased a OnePlus 8t but I don't want to make it my active phone yet so the sim card for it is not activated yet. My question is if I rebrand the phone from TMobile to global before I activate sim will it still be able to connect to TMobile to activate the sim?
The sim is not linked to the phone.
Put the sim in an OG Pixel and you should be able to activate it.
I considered switching to Global Rom, but I read that there were issues with the radio & Tmob.
Might be true might not.
Let me know

Quite a while ago I was on Global with the Tmob device. I did see lower signal strength and poorer 5G performance so I switched back to stock. That being said, I didn't play with adding stock TMob modems to global. It could be at this point they've got it figured out (and if they do I may switch back) but for now I'm happy with the Tmob ROM.

It's true but also to start from what's said earlier, I thought Metro T-Mobile assigned SIM cards to IMEI numbers? I was with Metro once and went from the unlocked phone I was using to an unlocked OnePlus and it wouldn't function until I called them and gave them the information like IMEI then they tried to charge me for it and I told him I could go over to boost if I wanted to and they did it for free one time LOL nonetheless point being it was phone specific

T-Mobile gm1915 no longer compatible with att's network

I know this might be a tricky question and I'm probably out of luck here, but I figured to still give it a try.
I currently have the T-Mobile's gm1915 op7 pro using att's network, and I was informed that this particular model will become obsolete once att phrase out its 3G service. Upon checking att's compatibility whitelist I realized that the only op7 pro model that att supports is the global/US unlocked gm1917 variant.
So my question is, is there any methods such as software spoofing that I could trick att's network into thinking that I have the gm1917 model?
The area I live in doesn't have T-mobile cellular coverage so changing carriers would be a pain , op7 pro has been a great phone and I would hate to give it up due to silly reasons like this.

I have the same model of phone and the exact same question. Although to add more info, it's not just that they are dropping 3g. They are also adding in "eSim" cards and requiring those. I suspect part of the reason the unlocked version of one 1+7p is allowed and the t-mobile one isn't has to do with eSim compatibility. I am however not sure and trying to navigate this bull**** REALLY quick. The sim card that came with the "free" phone att sent without asking provides full signal strength but I can't make any calls and I'm worried it maybe an issue that transcends the signal strength.
I don't get it, the gm1915 supports 4G bands right?

Afaik it's not just an issue of 4g bands. eSIm cards are (to my knowledge) different technology than regular sim cards. From what I'm reading it's not enough to know the phone is suppose to look for an at&t signal, but that there is a hardware component that allows eSims to program things differently.
I'm *REALLY* hoping someone will tell me I am wrong, but if I am correct this would also be why it wouldn't be enough to spoof info.
Ok I see. You need to reprogram the eSim.
If the phone's unlocked it should be doable.
GM1917 vs. GM1915 on AT&T
I'm leaning heavily towards getting a 7 Pro for my next phone. I'm on AT&T because it's the only game in town where I live. If I can get the GM1915 variant cheaper than the GM1917, can I convert it to essentially be a 1917 afterwards...
forum.xda-developers.com
Have you tried AT&T advanced tech support?
Keep trying, some techs know a lot more than others.
They already disabled my sim, so I called and complained and they turned it back on. The phone is fully capable, if it wasn't there would be alot of others that would have to be replaced. They can't afford to just shut down that many phones and loose customers.
On this thread it's stated it won't work because of VoLte.

I am currently using WiFi while my tires get changed after factory resetting my phone and won't be near my laptop for some time. Sorry.

On this thread it's stated it won't work because of VoLte.

T-mobile listed the gm1915 model on the website as VoLTE enabled, and op7 pro comes with all the bands att could possibly use. But yes I believe this is part of the problem, currently VoLTE is disabled for my device.
I have a feeling that att just didn't brother to make niche devices such as T-mobile op7 pro to be compatible with its own VoLTE network.

You might also be able to grill the guy who answered on reddit for more info.

They already disabled my sim, so I called and complained and they turned it back on. The phone is fully capable, if it wasn't there would be alot of others that would have to be replaced. They can't afford to just shut down that many phones and loose customers.

Yeah it just happened to me recently, I also had to call in and get my service back on. But the representative told me that they're going to completely shutdown 3g service by Feb,2022. Which then the network will solely rely on VoLTE to support voice calls.
I have no problem getting LTE ,

Is it just LTE or VoLTE? In my settings I only see the 2G/3G/LTE option being default while I couldn't toggle on the VoLTE. 4g LTE only transmits data whereas VoLTE is more refined and support voice over. This will be a problem once att retire its 3g service as now the phone couldn't use VoLTE to call.

wow yeah how did you get volte to work? Did you enable any settings? volte is lte, but I was just making sure becuase it's not necessarily the other way around.
There are many custom roms that will enable it. I still don't understand why people are having so many issues with the gm1915. I have mine one android 11, fully rooted and have working twrp, still have safety net and widevine l1. Only issues I have had is trying to get wlan packet injection with custom Kernal on Android 11. No problem on 10.
Could be that I know how to generate the qr code to decrypt the engineer app. To activate all the bands

Question 5g on att?

can anyone confirm or deny having real nr 5g service with att on their phone?

My understanding is that your phone must be in the ATT 5G certified list and from what I've seen, for the first part of 2022 only iPhone and Samsung phones will work on 5G... hopefully this phone will receive later an update that will bring 5G for ATT.
If you know different, please share... thanks
well I can tell you after owning it for a year, breaking its extremely fragile screen, and replacing it that no indeed it doesn't work on at&t 5G even though it indeed supports BOTH of their nr bands (5 & 77) because those greedy worthless anti-consumer pieces of crap don't have it whitelisted. so you get 4G and their false advertising """5g"""e (which is literally just lte with a different icon) and that's it. I swear I'm about to go to T-Mobile after being with them for 15 years at this point because of dishonest anticonsumer crap like this, and ESPECIALLY for forcing their branded phones to be un-unlockable. absolute joke.
and no it's not only Samsung and iphone, I'm actually on an unlocked moto one ace that does get real 5g despite only supporting one band (77 I think) and there are a few other motos and other brands that they've graciously allowed to use their 5g. however it's nothing to write home where I live, despite living in the ~25th largest city in the country coverage is hit and miss and speeds are miss and miss, literally no better than lte with all the fun of spottyness and unreliability. i pretty much just turn it off from the *#*#info#*#* menu, making this whole little adventure of mine 100% pointless.
Tested a new boost mobile black sim (att), and it indeed goes on n77. Wifi calling works too.

I've noticed that AT&t has a lot of phones that aren't whitelisted but with the boost Mobile black Sim which is AT&t I get 5G on my OnePlus 8 that's not a white listed device on AT&t for 5G but I did not get 5G on my Motorola edge 2021 but that was before I got really into testing it and I ended up breaking the screen too which seem to be really fragile honestly so it's sitting here and I can't play with it like I do my other phones so I got to get the screen fixed I'm waiting for the screen to ship and then once it gets here and I'll replace it and then I'll play but I'm really interested in playing with the phone now that I realize that it's got the c-bands on the device which is pretty awesome to be honest with my s20 ultra and my OnePlus 8 pro doesn't have c bands available which really sucks but they got mm wave and other things you know what I mean I just wish the Motorola would edge had mm wave available but regardless the fact that it has both bands for c-band available just makes it even more that potent of a phone and I only paid 40 bucks for it it was Google locked and I got the Google lock removed and it was an awesome phone until the screen broke.
I get 5G on mine in certain areas.
Anyone on Red Pocket Mobile with 5G? I'm on their GSM-A (At&t) and I get no kind of 5G. Just LTE all of the time. I don't even have the option in SIM settings to allow it. I assume its my carrier, but I've had 5G on another phone with them in the past so idk what's going on.

Don't have the edge anymore, but have you tried setting NR/LTE in *#*#INFO#*#*? Worked when I had boost att

Thanks for the reply. I just saw this and gave it a try. For some reason it still doesn't work for me so I think it's a Red Pocket Mobile GSMA issue or maybe with at&t themselves. But at least it was something else to try out, that I didn't know about yet.
I have an unlocked TCL stylus that I use for work. this tcl works on att but it only does it on LTE, ATT has sent me a lot of messages notifying that they were going to update their network and that this model would no longer work on the network and they showed me a list of devices... it's been a while 2 months and now the tcl has 5g, wifi calls and all services. I don't understand !
