So I grabbed the ota, all seemed good enough but I am unable to get SMS to work through hangouts or messaging apps. Says SMS is disabled. I've poked around in the various app permissions and uninstalled reinstalled etc......att all access stock app is and has been disabled since kk...all grayed out can not be enabled either. I use a mvno as a carrier but it was great on km and lp before. My 4g connection works pretty good though. Any body got some ideas as to wtf is going on?
Update, I have always had my att all access bloatware disabled but since I was making no headway otherwise I enabled it but it did not improve my ability to text, sadly I have not found a way to disable it again?. Still no joy texting since the update!

Update2 had the carrier, Consumer Cellular, bounce my line and still no SMS. I have also confirmed another original shield tablet who took the ota and has CC as a carrier is also without SMS. Who else is having this issue? I have left feedback via the tablet to Nvidia.

Bump again! So how about confirming that your US LTE Nvidia shield tablet is texting just fine on the new 4.1. , 6.0.1? I can't believe I am the only SMS user in the USA! At least on stock firmware.

I cannot help you as my T-Mobile Free 200MB for Life does not allow me to send texts, however I do receive incoming texts from T-Mobile occasionally when I go over the limit or plan renews.
Here is a theory. Perhaps the US LTE ROM is missing something crucial for SMS. Now, I have never installed the US LTE Marshmallow ROM, but on Lollipop, the US ROM was missing the AOSP Messaging app that comes with the RoW ROM.
If the US LTE Marshmallow ROM is still missing the Messaging app, perhaps try flashing the RoW LTE ROM and see if that fixes the problem. There is evidence that AT&T cripples functionality on things they touch.
It is true that ATT is a scourge. I had used 8sms and hangouts effectively previously. Would like to stay on the stock ota for my device but travel around the world quite a bit and really must have my unlocked device function as one! My sims that I use around the world did allow it and so does my MVNO here in the states! Thanks for he status of at least receiving a text from T-Mobile. Was it on us or row rom? I can't receive them either let alone send.

I flashed the RoW LTE ROM on my US LTE tablet, so I'm still pretty much stock, just without the AT&T garbage and delays

I flashed the Full RoW-LTE 4.2 ROM. You can flash/adb sideload using TWRP on top of any previously installed ROM. Just make sure you have the official TWRP 3.0.2-2 installed first as this version is compatible with all bootloaders and fixes the touchscreen delay bug.
Anyone else seeing a bunch of Verizon apps when browsing their app list via settings on the unlocked model? I'm on T-Mobile and yet have Verizon Login, vzw_api, VZW_multicast_mw, vzwapn, vzw oma trigger (cannot be disabled). What gives?
My guess is that Google put these in there since the Pixel was built to work with Verizon as the "exclusive" carrier. But it still doesn't make sense since Verizon dabbles with the software on their version anyway.

The ones that come pre-installed are for WiFi calling, VVM, and Video Calling.
Both models will install extra apps from the Play Store if setup with a VZW sim-card.

I get this, Sprint also has an app or two pre-installed to handle their carrier specifics. It doesn't mean that they are "active".

Sorry if this is considered a hijack, but if I buy an unlocked version from Google, will it work with Verizon WiFi calling? Anyone tested this?

I've read that the answer is yes, WiFi calling should work for both Verizon and T-Mobile on the unlocked Pixels. I don't know how to tell if it's working on mine. I have an unlocked Pixel on Verizon. If someone knows how to tell, please let me know and I'll check.

Put it in airplane mode, then turn wifi back on and try to make a call.
On my Galaxy S7 I first had to enable wifi calling. Verizon does wifi calling differently from everyone else, it is part of advanced calling, and that is why I am dubious that it works on the unlocked version.

oddly i dont see them in my apps list (I'm on unlocked from google store version), but I DO see them when I scroll through my lists of apps in the battery optimization menu. I just randomly noticed this like 20 minutes ago for a totally unrelated reason. also, screw verizon.

I enabled WiFi calling, put it in airplane mode, turned on WiFi, and attempted to make a call. The phone told me to come out of airplane mode. I checked the settings and saw that WiFi calling was set to prefer cellular network. I saw no way to change the preference to WiFi. Seems it will only do WiFi calling if there is no cellular coverage available.

Other carriers let you change the preference to WiFi, but not Verizon. I've had that message before and had to reboot and try again on my S7. If you are on a poor cell signal, the phone will switch to WiFi, and you will get a small WiFi icon on the call screen. If I answer a call in my house with the cell radio on, it takes about 3 seconds to switch over. During those 3 seconds the person I'm talking to is saying "hello," "hello." So, I try to leave my phone in airplane mode with WiFi on when at home.

This is all it takes for me. I don't know about receiving calls via WiFi yet though. I doubt that it made a difference, but I'll mention that I partially set up my Google Store purchased device over WiFi before turning it off and inserting my Verizon SIM. I didn't log into any accounts while on WiFi, only after putting in the SIM. It also updated from build NDE63L to NDE63P, and I have some VZW specific apps as mentioned, but they're not in the app drawer.
Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

It does not. Used my OnePlus 7 Pro for a couple of days and no WiFi calling.
With the latest OOS 9.5.13 the OP 7 Pro is now compatible with Visible Wireless (Verizon MVNO). Everything works, voice, text and data, without having to manipulate APNs or request enabling CDMA-less. Visible hasn't officially made the announcement yet but this is great for anyone who wants to use a Verizon based service for much cheaper than post paid. Anyone else been able to try their drive on Visible?

How do we know it works correctly on a US variant of this phone? Do you have one and is using it on that network?
I can't get Visible to recognize my imei as compatible on their website. Currently using vzw prepaid.

Just tell the site you're bringing over an iPhone, then it won't check for IMEI. Working great on on my 7 Pro here, didn't have to do anything else once I got the sim.

Thanks just wondering since they advertised vowifi I thought maybe they would have standardized it finally.
BTW Google Voice won't work over wifi on the 7Pro like it does on some phones. You have to install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer and use those with your Google voice number.

Never noticed that about google voice on 7pro....you're correct in airplane mode-need hangouts. Here is the funny thing,if I download Google Voice on my Chromebook it works without Hangouts installed.

Verizon video chat also does not work however that only worked between Verizon Android phones anyway.
Just a head's up - Visible is not currently compatible with Oxygen OS 10 (Android 10). It will not activate. Google Fi is also not compatible. It will activate, but you will lose your mobile data constantly.

No, once you update you will lose service. I took a look at the apn-conf.xml and telephony.db files and all visible entries were removed on Android 10. Attempted to replace the files from 9.5.13 but still didn't work.
Looks Line a reversion issue where 10 was forked before the the fix in 9. Likely it is on the list to fix
Hello,
I'm getting a 7 Pro on Friday, and it will be an unlocked model. I would like a ROM that has the TMobile specific features intact (RCS, Wi-Fi calling, HD voice, etc)
Is there such a ROM??
Nope.

What TMO features I wonder?
RCS that is compatible with other T-Mo users. If I use the stock messenger, I can use the "chat" features with any other T-Mo user with Android. If I use the international version, it doesn't seem that I do. Which is a bummer. I know I can use Google Messenger, but no one I know uses it. I do however, know a few people who DO use the T-Mobile one, mostly because they don't know about it, and just use stock.
I have had my T-Mobile version with a custom ROM for a long time now. I used the all-in-one tweak tool. For some reason the newer ones wouldn't flash I had to flash the old version 9.5.8 AA something. And then let T-Mobile do the updates. That brought me to 10.0 .02? then I was able to install ice Smurf kernel and no limits.. but no limits has been kind of spotty for me I just found out today that you have to hide the I'd? For no limits to get it to work correctly I hope. But the phone's been Rock solid I did at twrp back up as soon as I finish the updates. V o l t e & v o Wi-Fi has been working great. I have all the T-Mobile goodness without any of the bloatware. I highly recommend Smurf kernel. And high brightness mode when comparing to other people's phones. Lol no matter what I do the camera still kind of sucks but the video is really good.

You can use RCS anyways. Google released it for all skipping carriers because carriers were taking too long to implement into their own software. I'm using chat features RCS on my T-Mobile 7 pro running havoc OS
Yes, but it's only compatible with other Messages users, since Google uses UP 1.0, and T-Mo does not. So I lose the ability to chat with T-Mo Android users when I use Google Messages.
I am running open beta 12 on my t-mo variant and I have all the features working(rcs,wifi calling, VoLTE/VoWiFi ,etc). I flashed to international version the minute I opened the phone. Didn't even insert sim card until after I unlocked bootloader. This was day one about a month ago. No Issues at all
Note: i do use google messages app. I just like it over stock messaging app.
Well, people need to smell the coffee, Google messaging is the best Android messaging app.
I have found the latest version of crDroid to have working VoLTE and VoWiFi on T-Mobile. Can't speak to RCS.
I haven't been able to get WiFi calling to work on any custom Pie ROM yet. Haven't tested other Android 10 ROMs yet, but if I do, I'll report back.
