I just got it from T-Mobile. Changed it on purpose to have a compatible one with the Amaze. u think I should reflash the rom, or that won't fix it?

Probably not. Worth a try but I have my doubts. You probably won't see a stable solution until it is properly supported by the phone and carrier. Sad, but true. There have been so many reported issues with it that it was pulled from an the device just prior to the release and even the several attempts to hack it back in haven't been all that successful which was why boarder pulled it from his latest rom.

ok so it now works. had to contact t-mobile and specifically ask them to add the wifi calling feature to my line. thanks for the help

hey felinos you said you had to ask them? how did you like ask them? did you tell them your phone is rooted? I have the problem where i get the "add 911 address" error I added the address but still have trouble

bump - how did you ask them to add it?

I contacted them via online chat. simply asked them to add it. Makes no difference to them whether your phone is rooted or no...I guess

I contacted them and they said its not available for htc amaze.....

These issues really aren't a ROM thing. The WiFi calling was taken from leaked stuff I believe from when the amaze first had WiFi calling, but it's very buggy and hit and miss some people have issues some don't. I didn't work for me at first then recently I tried again but had all sorts of issues, I would say just try hanging in until the official release from t Mobile comes out then these guys will base there roms off the newest release or at least use the newest WiFi calling and if theres still issues we can take it up with t Mobile. Very frustrating to be in this crap wait when t Mobile has this phone plastered all over the website and is a top phone.

Unlocked Amaze for Wifi Calling
Hi
I've got the amaze in the UK unlocked to use a giffgaff sim and used an RUU to manually update it so now I'm on 1.43.531.3 the T-mobile version so when trying to use wifi calling I get the error message ER05 "invalid Sim Card". Is there anyway to get wifi calling in this scenario?

[Q]about AT&T WI-FI problem in Starbuck or Mcdonalds?

I got Atrix recently, unlocked and flash Allen #4 ROM, but when I use AT&T WI-FI in Starbuck or Mcdonalds, get message - "You are connected to the internet". But it works for a little while, then disconnect - "ATT Wifi Hot Spot" "Unable to confirm eligibility, please call Customer CARE..." but the WIFI is working very well in my DEFY...I'm using T-moble, someone told me have to transfer to ATT carrier...
Is this only one way to solve the issue? I'm in NY...thx for all ans
You could try different ROMS to see if its a phone or software issue or network issue. Have you used wifi that's not ATT wifi and tried that? It could be a network thing.

I have encountered the same issue. Work recently installed a few AT&T hotspots in our buildings. I called customer care, but they were not much help. Seems if I drop Wifi and re-enable Wifi I get a good connection without the message. I never have this issue when visiting a restaurant next to a FedEx store. Lately, this happens 50% of the time.
-Steve.
Thanks guys...I will try to flash official 4.5.91 SBF...then take a test
I have this issue on a stock ROM on my Galaxy SII Skyrocket. Problem is, it never works no matter how many times I turn wifi off and back on etc. Customer service is clueless.
-This device works fine on any NON ATT hot spot and my wifi at office and home.
-This problem only started about a week ago
-So far I have confirmed this is a problem in Sam's Clubs (2) and Barnes and Noble.
-All AT&T or non AT&T phones that do not have their stupid "Auto-Login" software work without a problem, even my tablet that is WiFi only. Same locations works fine as long as it's not a device with their Auto-Login software crapping things up.
rooted stock atrix on latest rom. same issue.
whatever......
Depending on the store, some have a log in in the browser you have to press a few buttons.

I did do that, but same problem. I'm new to the whole custom ROM thing, and I've noticed that even after doing what you said, it still has issues. Either it will connect, then disconnect, or put the phone into a reboot loop until I leave the area where the ATT wifi is. But, if I revert back to stock 2.3.6, I have no issues. Is there a fix for custom ROMs that I just haven't stumbled across yet?

I always do, but I have it on when I'm trying to use wifi, like when I'm sitting in McD's, I would like to use wifi. But I can't on a custom ROM. Is there a fix besides turning off my wifi when I want to use my wifi?
'Fraid not. CM ROMs are not endorsed by AT&T and so don't support AT&T pecularities. If you want support for AT&T hotspots, you're stuck with stock software or a ROM based on it, for example Nottachtrix or ICSROM or similar.

That's what I was afraid of. I've been trying with Atrics v1.0 and 2.0 with no luck on AT&T hotspots, always sends me into a constant reboot cycle until I leave the hotspot coverage area.

Unable to update dara profile/prl no matter what

I was flashed to ROCKO unlocked, and decided that I want to update my sprint stuff cause I wasn't able to on any custom stock ROM, it would stay on "Contacting Network" when I would try to update. So I SBF'd to 198_7 and unlocked again, and I am still not able to update my data profile or prl, still the "Contacting Network". My phone is activate, it just can't update profile/prl.
If I recall correctly, you have to have sprint push the profile update to you. I've read that people, who do stuff like switch roms get flagged in every their system. I think it was something asking the lines of security precaution. I'm pretty sure once you call, they can get your profile updated, then you should be able to update your prl.

^This exactly. Give sprint a ring. If thats still a no go try letting it activate and update through the Sprint Zone activation and updater app.
Thanks guys.
Would I have to lie and tell them that I never root or unlocked the bootloader/flashed other ROMS?
I've looked everwhere in Sprint Zone, and can't find the updater.
I personally have just told them that I was doing an OTA update and it had an issue or something along those lines lol they wont question too much, or atleast never have for me
IDK, I have trouble lying when it doesn't make sense lol. Could I mention that I'm trying to develops apps and need certain permissions etc. ?

It's activated(able to make calls, 3g, etc). It's either flagged like a previous poster has mentioned, or something about PDS partition, from doing all the SBF'ing flashing different roms etc.

Similar Problem Updating Profile/PRL
I am unrooted and for some reason when I go into the Sprint Zone App it tells me there is a Profile and PRL update but if I choose either it gets stuck in "Contacting Network" and all I can do is reboot.
I spoke to Sprint and they made me out an "eTicket" to take to the nearest Sprint "repair" store but I am without wheels at the moment and kinda hoping someone might know whats going on.
The lady I spoke to said that these was a problem with the nearest tower to me, that it was operating at 3/4 efficiency, and that may be why I can't get my phone to update? Has anyone been told this before and is this something that could be the problem or is it just BS?
She said that most likely I would get a replacement when I could take my phone to the Sprint store.
Someone had a similer problem in another thread and a got a reply from someone asking what their H/W version number was. On my phone under H/W version it says unavailable.
Why would that happen and if I could somehow fix that might that be the ultimate fix to my issue?
Any help would be great...This is really the only problem I'm having. I really like this phone. It is a beast. Being in a 4g area is pretty awesome and being able to get constant 8-10 Mb (outside) is worth every penny. In my house during daytime hours I can only get 2-3 Mb but thats pretty damn cool.
If the camera was just a little bit better at taking low-light pics, this might be one of those "near perfect" phones in my opinion.
By the way, everyone that contributes here is awesome. I love this community and all of XDA.
Thanks

Tethering Issues With WiFi on Straight Talk

I am on Straight Talk with this phone and I have been running the TrevE Mod WiFi tether and PDAnet tether app on all my phones and they work fine...This is my only GSM phone and both tethering apps show that there is a connection but no internet access....and yes I have and internet connection on my phone.
With the TrevE WiFi tether it says on my laptop that it is "connected" with great signal strength but no "internet access".
On PDAnet, I tether using USB and it says its connected but when I open my browser and type something in it tell me "cannot find the server"
If anyone else is using Straight Talk and can tether with this device please let me know how you did it..
My device is Rooted with Elegancia Rom.
If you just want to tether in general, I use wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2 and it works fine with straight talk. But I'm not doing usb tether so can't say how it works for that. At any rate, maybe give it a look and see if it helps.

Can you tell me the settings you have because I connect to my computer and the computer says connected but the small window at the bottom right hand corner on the computer that shows your wifi connections says "connected" but no internet access...I thought it was my computer at first so I tried tethering another phone to the HTC and same thing, no internet access.

I'm running Elegancia Rom, in your opinion would that have anything to do with it, I don't think so myself. I'd like to run something by you and ask for your feedback on it....I got the unlock code for my phone from At&t and they said when I put the ST sim card in it I would be prompted to put in the code but that never happened, I never had to put in the code, I just put in the card and it worked....I asked ST and they said if I had internet on the phone it was unlocked...Do you think that might have something to do with it or maybe even the new sim cards they have, I wonder if getting to old ST sim card from Ebay might get around the block...
BTW, thanks for entertaining my questions.

From what I understand, Elegancia should already have the fix to make the tethering work built in, plus he's been pretty thorough about testing and maintaining the rom so I wouldn't think that's the issue unless it's marked on his known issues list. For the sim question, I've found that the sims from straight talk are somehow branded, so if you put an at&t st sim in an at&t phone it doesn't actually need to be unlocked because the phone thinks it's an at&t sim(at any rate back when I was on T-Mobile that was how it worked for me). So my first guess would be that it's not unlocked and that's why you never saw the code request. I would not think that had anything to do with it unless you were on a stock rom. The stock rom will tell you to dial 611 and upgrade you data or something like that, but again, elegancia is supposed to have already patched that is my understanding. And technically I guess it is working, it just isn't working correctly. That's why you have tethering, but no net access...this may be a silly question, but did you configure the new connection properly on your pc? I know on mine(win7 64bit) it asked me again if it was a home/work/public network and I had to choose home,etc again before it worked(otherwise it gave me the same issue you're getting). You probably already checked that, but thought it might be worth mentioning just in case.

Thats some great feedback, thanks....I did choose Home when it asked about the network. I will try taking out my ST sim and calling At&t about the unlock again. I have the code but I will see if they can unlock it themselves....Man I hope I get this working, I'd love to be able to tether with 4g...

When I got the unlock code and put the ST sim card in, it never asked me to put in the unlock code, it just went straight into programing ST.
I don't know if it was the flashed rom, maybe I should have used the stock rom. I will try a device reset to see if it will go back to Att settings and push a stock rom and reinstall the ST sim and see what happens. :crying:

Well, I went a slightly different route. I buy all my phones myself and have for a long time, so I got mine off ebay long before at&t was even willing to give out the codes on it. So I paid an online place to get my code and send it to me. Once I got it I inserted a TMobile sim into the phone and it asked me for the unlock code, which I then entered. I know on some phones there is a numerical code you can enter in the dialer to bring up the sim unlock option, but I don't recall what it is...

I guess I'll try and get one of the original ones....great, more money...LOL. Thanks for the info.

UPDATE: I used a Verizon sim for a sec and got the unlock notice to unlock my phone. I got it unlocked and thought that would fix my tethering problems but it didn't. I just don't know what else to do...HELP
My guess is you have the LTE tfdata SIM and that is why tethering does not work. Tethering connects but you get the "no internet access".
gokun , your tethering works but what SIM card do u have and what's ur apn setting? Tfdata or att.mvno?
I posted a reply to this thread and it appears to be gone. Did I do something wrong?
If it helps, I have Straight Talk and am using a jailbroken iPhone, running MyWi 5.5. Tethering worked fine up until a couple months ago, at which point I could connect to the Phone just fine via WiFi, but not access internet.
Found out that MyWi uses Google's DNS server (8.8.8.8), and apparently Straight Talk is blocking the connection. If you I access websites using IP address, then it works fine.
Might be something to experiment with and see if the software can provide a work-around.
I also have the same problem. Running an unlocked and rooted galaxy s2 and treve mod. Worked great with tmobile, switched over to straight talk and it immediately stopped working.

johnnylingo, that was my problem. Thanks for posting the solution. Straight Talk is blocking DNS server 8.8.8.8.
Changing the DNS server from 8.8.8.8 to "only" 8.8.4.4 worked for me.

Can't send sms, Verizon has no clue.

So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?

Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO
settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode
I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.
Worth a try

Did you try a factory reset???
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.

Tried it. Nothing, I agree there has to be something wrong with the handoffs.

Damn ... I was hoping that was the ticket. Your phone might need to be provisioned. *228 to make sure it has updated PRLs. Failing that, you may need to call up VZW.

Not supposed to *228 our phones. Something about possibly frying the sim? Read and read and read.

It does not fry the sim anymore it just puts you in a 3g prl, after a week or to or after you cut your phone off it will auto update back to 4g prl

mb use odin and re-flash the stock rom? I never seen/faced issue like this but would like to help to find the solution, just in case I might deal with such thing later.

Don't know if it will fry the SIM, but *228 will tell you the your phone is already provisioned and it will fail.

I see. Yeah It just said my SIM was activated.
Just wanted to give this a bump to see if someone has any ideas
another bump. samsung doesn't want to send me a replacement and suggest i find a loner phone to put my sim in while they have it for over a week. i can't do that. Rooted the phone and put a rom on it to see if that would do the trick and nothing. Any suggestions before i argue with samsung?

I had SMS/MMS problems recently but now everything is working again. What version you on... MDK? And what ROM are you on?

It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.
Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.

no lte and shady 3g

I have been recently having an issue where no matter what rom i go to i get no data connection above shotty 3g. I can facebook and it will error no connection same in browser and snapchat. when i send mms it flashes 3g and fails to send mms unless im usuing liquid build 11/10 on wi fi. Pac everytime i install fc at startup. Slim i can barely get 3g. Validus is about the same as slim. And of course all the 5.0 builds (minus pa, because i havent tried it yet) i get no solid data. I tried flashing the 11c modem and changing apns. Any suggestions?

How would i test that?
Are you flashing these Roms with your Sim removed? Also what is the signal strength in your area??
There are radio diag tests that can be done to assess your problem as well I believe in the Service menu

Not sure you can. Carriers usually don't charge for a new one. I would just get a new one from them and asses things after that.

I flash with my sim in. And if you could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. I dont mind trying to test. But im a little lost. Currently im running pa 4.4.4 beta and i can get mms to work and what not. I still just get 3g. And it will blink. Ik its more cosmetic but i dont understand the numbers instead

The only way I'm aware of to test the sim would be to flash back to 100% stock and see off the radios work properly there.
You could call them for a new sim. They will likely have you do a bunch of useless stuff like FDR. Just lie about anything that would reveal root or modifications. When nothing they try fixes the issue, they should mail you a new sim, when you say its not convenient to stop by the store, that's why you called. Worked for me before anyways.

Thanks! Good to know
Getting a new SIM isn't too hard. I usually flash my phone back to stock though before I take in. Yeah, it's a pain, but easier than arguing with them in the store.
The last issue I had was my SIM wasn't reporting my device ID correctly. On my Verizon account page, it said that I was using a non-VZW device! This was on my Droid RAZR HD. Apparently, the SIM card got corrupted somehow. Not sure if flashing CM12 on my RAZR HD was the culprit, but the tech support guy on the phone said that the SIM card was sending back a garbled device ID and that's why it happened. He said just go into a store and get a new SIM card if I wanted or he could mail me a new one.
I just went and got a new one. Then, I upgraded to the LG G3 and got an entirely new SIM card. Too funny.
