Go ahead and ask a question. I won't be able to answer them because I am a big noob myself but perhaps this could be an alternative to endless hours of fruitless searching. I will try to update the first post with any question asked throughout the thread and hopefully edit them as solved, pending, no clue and so-on. No worries about being flamed but do not expect me to know the answer I'm just hoping to liberate my fellow noobs.
Q1--PENDING -- How to enable wifi always on so can receive wifi-calling while phone sleeps?
I'm wiiling to answer questions I have some experience

Ok, are you using a custom Rom and if so which one. I am having WiFi connection issues with the one I have.
And I do understand about the kernal flash, my wifi is working, but it drops the connection in sleep, and with WiFi calling on.... Means I don't receive calls.

Unfortunately the search function on XDA isn't the easiest to use nor very helpful. I think it's cool though thejondude is offering his help.
At least through the app, the search is way too general and overall pretty crappy. Its frustrating to use for a new user like myself.

I have had my TB for a week now... Can you please tell me how to turn it on and make a call? I have tried pressing on the screen hard and holding it that way for 10 seconds but it still doesn’t turn on. I would call Verizon for help but I can’t because my phone won’t turn on....
Thanks!
P.S. after I get it on can you tell me how to locate fried chicken restaurants near me using the GPS?
Thanks again!

Just flash them the same way you flashed your Rom. That's all no complicated process or anything.

Thank you for this thread! I am rooted and have tried several roms and radios. My question is this: Is the check for updates function in phone settings a reliable way to determine if your phone is capable of receiving OTA updates? I noticed when I was on a leaked radio it would tell me that the update service was unavailable and to check back. When I returned to the stock radio it said there were no updates available. Tia!
P.S. I am currently on the stock rom and radio. I am aware that any official OTA updates may wipe my root and my ability to reroot.

In the past, if you did not have all of the bloatware, etc. that came on the phone (i.e. if you were not completely stock) you would have issues getting the OTA. Since you are back to stock, you should not have any issues, but I wouldn't necessarily say that "check for updates" is the best way to determine that. If you are completely stock, you will get the OTA, but I wouldn't say that check for updates is all that reliable if you have changed something.

I am completely stock with the exception of root at the moment. Just curious if I will be able to deny OTA updates or they will automatically update my phone. With the OG Droid I was asked if I wanted to update or not. I don't want to lose root with no going back. Thanks.
I would assume so (that you can deny). I jumped on the Droid train a bit later but have always been asked (when I was all stock) to update.

OK. I apologize for the repeat question, but there seems to just be way too many threads with this mentioned, and way too much sifting for me to find the answer.
I am running Das-bamf gingerbread, de-sensed stripped (which is "wicked" awesome) and I am having a problem both sending and receiving MMS. I tried going into MMS settings and changing the source from Internet to Verizon, but to no avail. Does anybody else know of a solution?

I already have an exact duplicate of this thread open, literally same problem same rom same radio etc. Why open a new one? This needs to be consolidated and focused on in one big thread. So far I'm getting mixed reports. Some people say it works fine. Others say the same no MMS of any form. So idk what to tell you.
I for one know I am tech savvy and am very comfortable with command line and working my way around software, and I know I did everything fine. So I would really like to know what magical rainbow the people who have it working are floating along on, because I'd like a ride too.
I would have posted on your thread but it was like six on three AM and I was on my first cup of coffee.
I got mms working in gingerbread but I has to switch to Cyanogenmod. O only switched becauseI couldn't get my batt to charge with the dasbamf. I will most likely go back when both those issues are worked out

Yes, my Amaze is rooted.
Yes, I flashed xboarder's update and kernal.
Yes, I've used the forum search and found a couple people posting about this error but nobody has posted a follow up.
No, I don't want to be flamed so pardon my ignorance if somehow I missed an obvious answer.
Perhaps its a problem with my router and if so does anybody have a hint? I don't really need wifi calling but I hate not having anything work.
and yes, I'm pretty sure I've abused the smiles. PS. Coming from HD2 and loving the Amaze thanks to all the hard work from the XDA community.
You said you read around and saw some problems, but you never said if you saw the new sim card issue and if you're using the new one. You have to use it. If you are, you could be getting the 911 address error, but that one tells you to go to my.tmobile.com to fix it. So using the new sim card is the next troubleshooting step...

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
i have the same problem...would love to know a fix...if it even exists.
i've talked to t-mobile customer service for hours trying to resolve and still no resolution.
i get the 911 address missing error, but it's on my profile and t-mobile reps even confirmed that it's in their system.
every once in awhile, wifi calling icon will turn blue and show that i'm able to make wifi calls...but then after a couple seconds, it'll go right back to the error message.
This may have no impact at all, buy have you reflashed the kernel? I reflashed the kernel and it resolved a WiFi issue. You can try it. I hope it works!
Okay, it toook me all night mostly because I am a big ass noob but I flashed quicksence and the kernal again and it resolved the issue. The reason it took so long was because I tried to start from scratch and go all the way back to stock. Big mistake. HTCDev is down and will not issue a new unlock key. Not a bad thing unless you already ran the relocker which I did. luckily I found my old unlock code and was able to unlock the bootloader again and here I am. I think I may have had a bad flash before but now its golden. Xboarder and Binary rock.
im having the same problem at home with stock everything
Just call them and ask to add wifi calling feature to your line.

This isn't the correct way to post a thread asking for help. You didn't post if you were rooted or not, & "if you are rooted" what rom your on, if you flashed a theme or mod, etc. You also didn't post what version of the app your using, what settings you have the app set to or what steps you yourself have taken to resolve the issue. You have made it very difficult to offer any suggestions that may or may not help your issue.

I have noticed that any ROMs based on the international base have a problem with putting my Note II into roaming whenever I am connected to my network extender at home. Any ROMs built on the Verizon base work just fine. My question is: can I backup my modem settings with TWRP, flash a ROM built on the international base and then restore the modem as the last step to get around this issue?
Sorry if this is a noob question, but I am new to Android and custom ROMs.

The modem stays with every flash until you flash a new one, you don't have to worry about it. As for what you want to do I don't think it would matter about the Network Extender, everything you would need would be built in to the international Roms on our forums, but I'm not 100% sure as I've never came across this before.

Well sting as how the modem carries over no matter what you flash then you wouldn't have a problem there. How does the extender work? Do you connect like WiFi or does the phone automatically pick it up or do you have a special app? I don't think you'd have assn issue as long as you stayed on TW but AOSP you may depending on how the extender works.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
The network extender connects to a home wireless network so you are basically doing VOIP when connected to it. There is no app to use, the phone automatically uses the extender when it is available.

Then it should work with any ROM.
The only thing I have found is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108887
The only time problems were experienced was on AOSP, and that was only due to a leaked modem that probably wasn't optimized yet, so I would bet you won't have any issues

Thanks for the link. That is pretty much exactly what happens for me with any AOSP/International base ROM. I am guessing that network extenders are a Verizon/US only device and perhaps that explains why only Verizon based ROMs properly recognize the extender. The extender itself actually works and my phone calls properly get routed through the extender. The phone however is always on roaming when connected to the extender, so if data roaming for example is turned off things get a little difficult. It isn't a huge deal really, it just keeps me from using some of the more interesting AOSP type ROMs that are available.

You could ask Scott if there is a fix for Cleanrom and ask Beans the same thing. You could also ask in the AOSP threads if there is any way for that to be worked on, its very very odd....

It may be something that was either taken out to make the ROM more sleek or not added to the international base.
