Ok. This is very strange. It's happening on both of my One S phones. It's possible it only started after the OTA update.
When wifi is on and wifi calling is enabled, the airplane mode setting goes into a state where it says it's "turning off" and the on/off button is diabled.
When it's like that, I can not send MMS with Go SMS (I can send with stock messenger during that time).
If I turn wifi calling off, airplane mode goes into off and I can send MMS with Go SMS.
I know the OTA had something to do with a wifi calling fix, but I think they broke something.
It's like when wifi calling is on, it's disabling the ability for mobile data to come on to perform functions that are not done over wifi (i.e. MMS).
How do u activate WiFi calling? Sorry I'm not stealing your thread and is it true if using WiFi calling u don't use your minutes?

It's in the settings menu, I don't have the phone at the moment, but I think you have to click the dotted line under mobile network and it's in there. Yes, wifi calling is free, but you have to call them and add a free wifi calling plan to your account.
Any further discussion, I'd ask that you start your own thread.
Anyone able to confirm my findings on the issue I posted about and any thoughts as to what's going on?
I cannot exactly verify what you are experiencing, but I use GoSMS and I have always had trouble with it and wifi. But I do think it had gotten worse since the update.
In my situation when I boot the phone art home (where I have no signal and a fixed, auto wifi connection), wifi calling isn't on... Until I make a call. Then it takes about a minute to turn on and turn blue (it almost always starts out with an "invalid SIM" error). And in my situation, until wifi calling is running, my SMS is spotty. Them while it is initially on I can also send SMS. Then when it goes off again (usually if I don't make a call for about 30), at this point I cannot send SMS without a reboot.
I am running various log applications, and in reading the log enough times, I can definitely see consistent regular errors mentioning the GoSMS app. I also am pretty sure this update fixed a few things, but it also broke stole things.
You should go download a log program, and let me know of you see GoSMS errors.

That's for comfirming!
How'd the screw this up so badly? It's going to be months before they push a new firmware up to fix this.
Same here
So any work arounds to get MMS to work with Go SMS w/o turning off wifi calling?
Also, I posted on the T-Mobile forums here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/message/148722
Maybe some of you can jump in here and voice your complaints too?
I was able to get HTC to escalate to a tier 2 tech who was very vigilant with trying to reach me to discuss the issue.
After detailing exactly what's happening, he commented that he say some other reports of this issue and something about a youtube video detailing it as well. Said he'd look into it further.
The next day, he called back saying they confirmed it's a bug and it would be fixed in the next maintenance release, but had no idea when that would be.
Very happy with HTC's level of support (after the first few go arounds getting tier 1 to finally understand what I was talking about and escalate).
A T-Mobile forum rep also noted that they've reported the problem and are working on it as well.
Not much else I can do here. Hopefully there will be another software update coming in the next month or 2.
This is happening to me as well. Like you all, when I called Tmobile to ask them about it, they said both the signal fluctuating problem and the random airplane mode are known problems that HTC "is working on a fix for. I guess the pro is that this has been a pretty big phone for both HTC and Tmobile, right? So I'll be optimistic about a fix. OTOH, can I assume this isn't a problem in the ROMs?
Well I hate to disappoint, but this isn't just a HTC problem, I am on the Galaxy SIII and I am experiencing the exact same issue. I'm not sure if T-Mobile uses their own programmers to code the wifi calling and functions, and then just submits it to the manufacturer to add in or what, but there is definitely an issue here.

Maybe that's not a bad thing then. Perhaps an update to the wifi calling app is all that's needed to fix? That certainly would be a lot easier than needing new firmware.
Are you having the exact same issue?
Here is a quote off some research I've done:
It could be done technically. AFAIK all communication between MMS enabled components is done via standard TCP/IP. But in a regular provider setup the MMS store and forward server(s) (MMSC) are only reachable via the providers network. That's why you can not send and receive MMS via WiFi.
It's also the reason why you can not make a call and send/receive an MMS simultaneously when you have only 2G (GPRS/EDGE) connectivity.
Normally android will drop the GSM data connection if there is WiFi connectivity and all data will be routed through the WiFi interface, but there is one exception: The MMS traffic will still go through the mobile data connection.

So normally, if you are connected to WIFI and send an MMS, it triggers your phone to open up the data connection with your carrier just long enough to send your MMS. With TMobile, there is something in the programming that is stopping our phones from doing so. However, this seems more of a GoSMS issue now because the stock messaging apps does perform this function fine.
I'm seeing this problem as well, but the other issue with WiFi calling for me is that it doesn't do touch tone automated systems well at all. Such as voicemail. It straight up doesn't recognise my password input at all unless WiFi calling is off.

I owned the ONE S before the SIII and had the same issue -- It will record your password, you just need to type it a lot slower than normal. I would suggest setting up visual voicemail, or downloading a visual voicemail app like Youmail.
Anyone with an N5 use Ooma at home? They just released an android app (free), but I can't log-in. Supposed to use the same login as PC.
Been looking for a good VOIP app to replace GrooveIP. I'm on wifi 95&% of the day.
You can voice call over WiFi w/ Google hangouts now & has Google voice integration as well.
Yeah I saw that thread soon after I posted this. I installed and it works! Never planned on using hangouts, but this makes it worth it. I assume if I'm out without wifi that it automatically uses cell provider. Can I get rid of the built in dialer? Any calls I get are to my GV#.
edit: Just tried to use Hangouts for call w/o wifi and without data. Does not direct you to built in dialer, so looks like you still need another dialer to make calls when off data.

I have ooma and was able to log in on the app. Thanks for the heads up on the app.

I signed in OK then it says I must change my password in order to use the mobile app, seems a bit dodgy. Anyone else get this?
Has anyone tried modding the build. Prop to try and trick the project fi app into activating fi sim on the phone so you are able to use Google messages and visual voicemail without the hangouts apps? I've tried a few different ways and it hasn't worked. Also tried modding the build. Prop and installing an older version of fi and that didn't work either. I miss messages and phone app. Hangouts apps are dated etc...

So something weird happened. I'm able to get the new Google fi app to activate and allow texts and visual voicemail with the Google messages app and phone app. So far phone app is working. Texts however on Google messages isn't. Will keep tinkering.

And no voicemail notifications either for phone app
Notifications for Google apps appears to be partially or completely borked right now on the China ROM. Gmail sometimes works, othertimes doesnt. Hangouts is completely devoid of notification life.

So....update. After wiping data and doing a new fresh install of Dev rom and rooting here are my results.
Google fi app working to activate legit no more workarounds needed.
Google messages working with notifications and no gibberish after texts
Google dialer framework installed via magisk and Google phone is now working w visual voicemail.
Texting via WiFi works. I am currently not able to WiFi call but working on it still.

I have dual SIM. When I was on dev rom it would say that xiaomi couldn't activate sim but worked anyway. The Google fi app will now activate fi sim with limited funtionality. I haven't tried WiFi calling on the global rom. I will try that here in a bit and let you know if it works.

Is your fi card in sim tray 1? I have an ATT sim in tray 2 and the phone will use data from tray 2 however doesn't use it for hotspot data it looks like only tray 1 has that ablity. Any fix?
Don't want to use fi data if I don't have too.

Hmmmm I don't use hotspot on this phone. I have a work phone I use for that so not sure about that though my set up is the same as URS.
Just wanted to bump this and see if anyone has been able to enable wifi calling using Google fi on eu Dev rom?
Using the device on T-Mobile. Sometimes I'll just get a voice mail notification - without the phone ever ringing. Tested from a desk phone, and sure enough it goes right to voice mail without ever ringing. If I make a call outbound from the Zenfone 6, it will always work. Then I'm able to receive calls for an unknown amount of time. I can reboot and get calls after the reboot, but they will eventually randomly stop.
SMS also come though delayed by hours. For instance someone sends a SMS my way at 2pm, I'll get it at about 4pm. If I send a SMS out bound, I then instantly get all the inbound ones.
Anyone know if I need to whitelist something in battery optimization? So far the Zenfone isn't really good at being a phone. - great at everything else though.
Check your apn settings I think I had to update the default to whatever BYOD APN settings are for T-mobile see if it helps you
Also had this issue on T-Mobile. If APN settings don't fix it, I'd go to Auto-start Manager in Settings > Battery > PowerMaster and allow your messaging apps to run.
For me, I'd get SMS messages only when my screen was on, and some weren't received from contacts, like it shuts the apps off after not using them.
Same here. I'm about to switch providers because of this. What rom are y'all using? I'm on LineageOS 16. @wreid23 can you post your APN settings?
Tried unoptimizing all the messaging related apps, no effect.

So I found that if I turn off WiFi calls come right through. I don't know what the fix is, but I guess that's my work around.

I've found the same to be true for me. Wi-Fi connection prevents calls from coming in. I can dial out just fine.
This is extremely strange since this phone is not even Wi-Fi calling certified and it's not even a feature. This has been my biggest issue with the phone so far because you never know if you miss a really important call.

Asus denies the phone could be the problem (despite the phone obviously being the only variable). I replied to that thread anyway, with my experience of similar lost calls on a Moto x4 with Wi-Fi calling enabled. Maybe it'll give some engineer at Asus a push in the right direction...
if any of you are rooted there is an alternative for now to enable volte and vowifi: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/guide-enabling-volte-vowifi-v2-t4028073

I'm having the issue with T-Mobile 7T Pro, when I got the permanent unlock approval and switched to Mint Mobile sim is when calls went to voice mail, have you found a solution yet? Phone works fine if I use T-Mobile sim, but Mint Mobile sim in the 7T Pro is when the calls go to voice mail and text don't go out, if I put the Mint mobile sim into a Pixel XL all is fine. When I had to quit Mint Mobile becasue of this and go back to T-Mobile on prepaid again, all worked well.
The zenfone 6 is getting volte with the android 11 update so hopefully that fixes this issue

I have always had this issue with whatever phone I use regardless of brand, android version. So seeing if there is something I am missing. I get terrible coverage in my house so I count on Wi-Fi calling which works fine, but when I send a MMS it takes 5-10 minutes if it even sends. I've had pics literally get sent the next day. Not if I turn on airplane mode and turn Wi-Fi back on the MMS will send almost immediately so I know the Wi-Fi calling feature works. Do i need to enable something else? Tia

MMS is not supported over any connection other than mobile on Verizon. You can install carrier services and google messages from the play store to get universal rcs, and that works great as long as the receiving end also has rcs. This will work great with t-mobile and sprint customers if thats who youre messaging. Also verizon and att with rcs capabilities. If the receiving end is not rcs capable, it will still try and send as mms and you'll have the same issue. Unless the wifi calling profile can be edited or verizon implements universal RCS, this will be an ongoing issue. Alternatively, you could get a network extender from verizon so the phone has verizon service...I know, not a free option, but it would work.

I tested sending an mms using this method (airplane mode on, WiFi then enabled) from both my note 20 ultra and s20 fe UW, I was unable to get an mms to send. In the stock Samsung messages app I get a spinning blue circle which I let sit for 30+minutes. In Google messages I get a message that says waiting for connection, although sometimes I got a sending message, but it never sent. This is also posted all over reddit and the verizon support site.
I do not know but it works for me sending to my other phone.
I just tried sending mms using Verizon message+ and it instantly sent, crazy fast., even without wifi calling enabled. I just hate using that app. I still can't get mms to send from 2 other phones in airplane mode. Weird.
