High all. I just purchased a Vibrant today that was brand new in the box and had never been turned on. The first thing I did was unlock it to work with AT&T. Everything works including 3G, however whenever I try to select any option in wireless settings I get this message "Unable to change networks during data service activation. Do you want to disconnect the data service and change available network?"
Does anyone know what caused this and how to fix it?
Did it ever connect to a tmobile network or did you put in the att sim right away?

I put the att sim in right away as I dont know anyone with tmobile. There must be a way around it. Like in one of those hiden menus.
Its just a notification that its stopping data to find a new source. Mine does that when I switch it to "2g only". Its ok, idata will turn back on after a few moments
^^ yep, i get the same message when i toggle between 2g/3g. not a problem at all.
Ok thanks for the reply guys.

You have your Data Connection enabled, right? Another think you could try is switching to EDGE to see if it works with that.
Connection on, tried 2g also...
Maybe carrier has control over tether ability?

Does your carrier allow tethering? Have you tried another SIM?
my girlfriend has a 710 and tethering works on her device, took her sim and got the same error...(i'm a qa engineer and already thought of these options so i guess is a hardware problem)

You can also try a hardreset. There were some changes in the firmwares that are only active after a hard reset.
i find it really stupid that i have to hard reset it...that;s not why i bought the phone..
what are these changes?

Well, I got some new options that allow me to configure call forwarding and the SMS charset... I doubt that it is a hardware problem. Your data connection works properly on the phone?
Yup, always has been working fine...
Is the phone sim unlocked & are you using it on a different service provider? Can you send MMS messages? I suspect WP is looking at some hard coded APN settings when activating internet sharing, & not the one entered under the cellular apn option.
Yes i can MMS messages, but i do have another problem with it that makes me think the celullar modem is faulty....i use it on 2g and sometimes when i receive a call the sound is all distorted when i answer for about 5-6 seconds and then i ca hear the person on the other end...this happens form the day i started using it...
Apparently it is now possible to unlock the sim for our phones, I got in touch with the user, send any update.

That link shows an LS990 ZV4 unlocked on an international carrier. Sprint has always been willing to unlock the SIM for use with an international carrier. Even with Google Translate, none of the posts on that site make any sense. Were you saying this somehow meant domestic GSM unlocking was now possible?
GSM for LS990
I did not find the answer there.
I know him in this vietnamese site's

because the user indicates that they are cell phones with bad ESN.
this will unlock for domestic use? I have internationally unlocked, but would love to unlock domestic
Someone said change SPR to OPEN setup SIM and APN then change OPEN to spr reboot recovery wipe cache and this will make good for Domestic APN..I will try later on today and report back
Yeah it works...4G US GSM carriers
Im stoked to hear it works. 4g and spark hardly exists here. Can you report which carriers you connected to successfully with 4g? I heard only 3g was possible on tmobile (which has my interest for sim)

So what sim unlock method did you use? You are the first to claim your Sprint LG G3 is working with tmo and att. BTW, can you post some screens?
Customer already had the phone back..just root pull off build.prop change SPR to OPEN but back in phone make sure u check permissions..place SIM in phone use APN manager to add APN and then u can post screen shots [emoji2]

which parameter did u change in build.pro,I change the ro.build.target_operato and ro.carrier to open,the signal will show in satart quickly then instead of com.andorid.phone wrong all system ui wrong,u should toggle airplane mode then no wrong info. so I wander what u done could make it work fine with no wrong message? I need to wipe? or other operate?thx:laugh:
change ro.build.target_operator to spr instead of SPR.
changing it to OPEN will make the g3 crash over and over.

You need to fix the permissions to the build.prop to stop fc errors after editing the build.prop on the G3.
Everytime you edit the build.prop you need to fix its permissions before restarting your phone.

Thanks for the reply. How do it do that? I only changed the "spr" and changed the APN on the LTE and the MMS.
I notice that after update to android 8.0 everytime making a call my data switches over to H or 3g once the call ended it switches back to LTE and 8 notice that when on call the enhanced 4g LTE option is gray out. Does anyone have this problem? Im on T-Mobile

As I know that is not a problem . reason behind Switching network lte to 3g is that there is no call support available for 4g.
I am on 7.1.2 and I have same thing.
Sorry for my bad english.

You are aware that voice over lte (volte) is a thing right?
On most carriers you can absolutely call over lte, so IDK what the hell you're talking about
EDIT: at least here in the states, we have volte, not sure where you live, but sucks if you don't.
On topic though, I'm not sure what's up with your volte. I'm on O official and I just checked and my advanced calling is working fine and not greyed out.
I show it as enabled on mine. How did you update to O? I dirty flashed the factory image via fastboot. I am roaming though currently.
I did have some issues with Carrier Services though a couple of months ago. Have you tried rolling that back, rebooting your device, and seeing if you can enable Enhanced LTE?

Enhanced 4g LTE is is only gray out doing phone calls, so doing calls my data will switch to H or 3g right after i hangup the call it switch back to LTE and enhanced 4gLTE option be enabled again. I was able to get volLTE on 7.1.2 on T-Mobile network after android O it broke

Yep, T-Mobile. And it stays on LTE all the time. It's lte before a call, lte during a call, and lte after a call.
I manually flashed (clean flash) the imaged though.

Radio is 3.84
I opened the image up and flashed each individually
Fastboot flash system, flash vendor, flash boot, and flash recovery.
On elemental x 5.0.3 right now.
I had this problem and I had a hunch after checking the *#*#4636#*#* menu that everything was enabled. It did say wifi calling was unregistered but was enabled. Same with the volte option, so when I got home I made sure to make a wifi calling enabled call. Then disabled wifi to verify my hunch and made a regular cellular call and viola volte was working. Might be something to try if you have not.
My LTE hasn't functioned ever since I updated to Android 8. I cannot get access to the internet, links pasted in whatsapp chats do not work. I still get whatsapp messages and emails but no access to internet either from links or from Firefox/Chrome. Plus, the LTE band is perenially off.

I am on T-Mobile running 8.0.0 OP6.170623.019 build. I can confirm that VoLTE is working for me.
My phone stays on LTE while on a call.
Wi-Fi calling also works, as does native Visual Voicemail.
You may want to try going to the APN settings and "Reset to default". Afterwards, check the top one if it is not already selected.
The IMS ones are for VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling and SMS over IMS.

I have read it is better, but not completely fixed with the new baseband image. Personally never had the issue myself. I am in NYC and we have B4, B12, and B2 all deployed. I am in and out of the subway so my phone drops and re-connects many times a day without issue. I did have some issues after the 6.0.1 update, but solved it by forcing my phone to 2G, then 3G, then LTE. I never had an issue after that.
Hi folks,
The title pretty much says it all. I've got a new unlocked P6 bought from Google, using it on AT&T here in the US. It doesn't show VoLTE and when I go in to turn on VoWIFI I get an error to the effect that "we couldn't turn on VoWIFI."
The VoLTE worked out of the box on my prior phone (OP6T) but I never attempted VoWIFI with it.
Is there a special process to go through, or do I need to chat up the ATT reps? It's possible I'm not provisioned appropriately; my SIM is the same SIM I've been using on several phones over a good number of years.
Before I go in "cold" to a conversation with them I'd prefer to know exactly what to ask them for.
Thanks
Here's their whitelist:
Note this is the latest updated list (edit)
I had to have them enable it for me. I did it via chat support. It broke the ability took make regular calls but a quick call back (from a different phone) and it was fixed.

Funny thing before I chatted with them my Pixel 6 showed up on my account after they did whatever they did it now shows unknown device. It works so it doesn't really bother me. Edit: I have the unlocked version from Google as well.

Ask for "advanced tech support" when the dud robo attendant ask what for, repeat.
I posted (edited) the updated whitelist, with more models and harder to read
I double checked my devices... but the proof will be when they still are working.
Lol, what could go wrong?
Yeah, be afraid, be very afraid
On with chat now. Just gave them my IMEI. We shall see soon
OK, I'm all set. I think, or maybe I hope.
The chat function worked well. After getting past the chatbot I spoke with a real agent, explained my need, and she quickly took my IMEI and got it set up in the system. I got a text quickly that some ATT stuff got activated (I'll be able to turn on spam blocking and such). I was able to go in after a reboot and turn on wifi calling, leaving my preference as using Mobile Network.
I made a test call and it actually used the Wifi instead of mobile, which concerned me. I disconnected from my hotspot and tried a call, and mobile network calling worked fine, though.
Agent said my preference setting should take hold within 24 hours, in any case. We also went into the dial menu and verified VoLTE was turned on:
"Open dial and Type *#*#4636#*#* Choose Phone information option from test Screen. Now you can Enable VoLTE Support Provisioned Flag. Restart your device. Now you can see 4G LTE option under Network Bar. This will activate unlimited HD Voice Calls."
It was on and grayed out, so should be active. Just surprised there was no special icon showing in status bar like my old phone had.
Everything seems to be working so I think I'm good to go. Thanks for your help guys!
edit: after getting me set up she did a hard sell to get me to use the eIMEI for another ATT account. I declined.

See my post above. Enter the code in the dialer to access the hidden menu. It will bring up a screen that shows some settings, one will be the switch for VoLTE. For me it showed on but grayed out, which apparently is the correct setting. If it shows off, that would mean you aren't provisioned for it and need help from your carrier.

*#*#4636#*#* Thanks, very nice. On my N10+/pie this is the only place were the VoLTE setting can be seen as a toggle which is on. Yay.
Oh, one other note. Wifi calling seems to be working fine, though I haven't had a chance to check its integration with Google's visual voicemail.
What I notice is that the decision to use wifi instead of mobile is kinda hair-trigger. At my home, LTE bars are low but calls always work just fine. However, now with wifi calling turned on (with preference being mobile network), the system usually decides to use wifi anyway due to low signal. I also noticed at a grocery store, where my phone auto connects to their wifi, that when I was in the back of the store (weak LTE) it switched to wifi calling mode, then switched back to regular mode in the front of the store (strong LTE signal).
So, the system is conservative and moves over to wifi pretty often rather than treating it like a last resort. I guess that is good behavior.

I have an unlocked P6 direct from Google on AT&T. I have it greyed out but on. Does that mean I need to contact AT&T?
I had never gotten wifi calling set up on anybody my previous phones, so I definitely needed to get that turned on/provisioned for my account. The rep also told me that adding my non-ATT IMEI was needed; indeed several options became available once that was done. I don't think anybody this was needed for VoLTE though.
So pat of this might just have been due to my account history.
To cap this off, I got a wifi call just now and it transcribed fine.

Not needed for VoLTE on AT&T as I can switch the sim card between my AT&T N975U1 and unlocked N975U seamlessly. However I never use wifi, tethering or more advanced features on these two devices... so no idea about that.
