Got the LTE version of the tablet on Monday. On powering up and connecting to my WiFi, it pulled down an update which I believe is for 5.01 (at least it now has 5.01). I took the device to the local AT&T store to obtain a nanosim.
The tablet works fine, but I cannot find the tethering and WiFi hotspot setting. It's not where it usually is. When I search "tether," the search takes me to to the "more" under WiFi and network settings which is where I expect to find this setting, but it's not there.
Does anyone with the LTE tablet see tethering anywhere on his device?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went to Verizon and T-Mobile stores. Each put a nanoSIM into the Nexus 9. In both cases, the Tethering and Mobile Hotspot menu appeared exactly where it ought to be. It's the AT&T nanoSIM that causes the menu item to vanish before my eyes. I spoke with AT&T and Google. Each asserted that the other caused the problem. This identical problem occurred with AT&T the last LTE-capable tablet marketed by Google (the Nexus 7 2013, see here). It's unclear whether subsequent updates or AT&T programming repaired the error in the prior matter. I'm a little baffled that the engineers would allow the same problem to re-occur.
I've had this problem since day 1. In any other setup tethering appears, but when I pop in my AT&T SIM, it's gone. I had the same problem with the '13 N7 too. Unfortunately, this year's issue looks like it will never be fixed.
It's something that AT&T asked Google to do and they complied. I asked Jean Baptiste Queru about this back when the Nexus 7 LTE launched 2 years ago and all he said was that he couldn't talk about it due to NDAs. Suffice it to say, he didn't deny that AT&T was behind it.

Makes no sense for AT&T. Most of us have metered data plans. More tethering more data. AT&T claims that its allows tethering. If AT&T, after selling tethering as a feature, instructed a vendor to disable it, then potential of a class action would outweigh the gain. Regarding the Nexus 7, wasn't it eventually fixed?

Nope. It was never changed on the Nexus 7 LTE. It's right in the AOSP code. There are lines that specifically disable tethering if you put in an AT&T SIM. It's in an XML file somewhere. If you're rooted, you can change that line and get tethering. But, that means that Google is specifically targeting AT&T SIMs and disabling tethering in the ROM. This is most definitely not a bug, nor an issue requiring a "fix." It's very deliberate. The only plausible reason for Google to do this would be at the request of AT&T. We have no idea what agreements Google has with carriers, so the specifics will never be known to us. Regardless, this is most-definitely done on purpose.
From a branded device standpoint, AT&T never allows native tethering on tablets within the OS. They always make OEMs disable it and then provide tethering via the AT&T AllAccess app. The app comes pre-installed on every single tablet AT&T sells. You can download it on the Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartcom. I'm not entirely sure that it'll actually allow you to tether, but that's what you have to use to tether on any AT&T-branded tablet.
I apologize if this question a bit weird, but bear with me...
I'm using 2014 Moto X with Android 5.1 on Verizon Wireless with Unlimited Data Plan and unfortunately i did not jump on mofo, but there is a hope for rootninja now) and maybe even stagefright? i obviously don't know what i'm talking about) but anyways,
the actual question is: can i swap sim card from my phone and use it with nexus 9 lte, would I be able to enable mobile hotspot feature as well? :angel::cyclops:
So I guess this is good news and bad news for T-Mobile users. The OnePlus 2 supports band 12. Awesome, right? Not quite. They did not get the T-Mobile VoLTE certification, so now those of us with T-Mobile face an issue. If you are in an area where band 12 is the strongest signal, you will likely not be able to receive/send calls or text because there is no VoLTE.
With that said - is there any way to "disable" a network band yourself in the software?

The device will switch to H or H+ for voice calls even if LTE is the strongest. Its not really a setback, just an oddity.

No - it won't. According to multiple posters on the OnePlus forum, because the phone senses band 12 connectivity, it will not try and fall back. That's why T-Mobile asked the companies who did not meet their band 12 certification to disable the band - at least temporarily.
"This issue that came up with Moto E/G, was that phones with Band 12 support, but not VoLTE certification for that band. It made the phone look like it had service, but wasn't able to re-route the band to receive the call. Therefore, no calls/emergency calls were able to be made. For this reason, T-Mobile started requiring the VoLTE certification or the removal of the Band 12 support. "

Unfortunately since mine shipped (should be here today, actually) I can't do that. I do already have a buyer lined up for it and my Moto X Pure should be here today as well. I REALLY wanted the OP2 though so I'm disappointed.
Is there still no news on whether the OPT will get T-Mobile VoLTE with a software update, apart from the vague "yeah maybes" that were thrown around by Oneplus a few months ago?

Motorola is at least coming out with a VoLTE setting and bringing band 12 back. They've confirmed that multiple times on the forums. OnePlus hasn't addressed it at all since a Reddit AMA with a vague answer. The issue wouldn't be so bad if it was disabled - but since it's not disabled, there will be issues with T-Mobile.

Are you sure about this? I have been reading up on this issue (including your discussion on the OnePlus forum) and most indications are that the device will fall back unless there is no available connection other than band 12. As written here:
"A Motorola employee explained recently that band 12 was removed from the Moto E (2015) at T-Mobile’s request over concerns that it could show that it has an LTE signal, but if all that it has is band 12, it couldn’t actually complete a call since it has no VoLTE support. While T-Mobile hasn’t officially commented on this matter, T-Mo spoke with Android Police off the record and said that any device on its network with band 12 also needs to support VoLTE and E911. Without VoLTE, band 12 phones on T-Mo are unable to make a call if they don’t have any other T-Mo service to fall back to, and they won’t know to roam onto another carrier’s network. Removing band 12 altogether eliminates this issue."
Not trying to argue with you or prove you wrong just trying to get some clarity on this issue while I still have time to cancel my order if need be.
It would be nice if someone with a OP2 on T-Mobile in an area with band 12 could comment.

Also, this:
Due to lack of VoLTE support you won't be able to place and receive calls including 911 calls in some buildings and some outdoor areas where 2G GSM and 3G HSPA+ (marketed by T-Mobile as "4G") signal is too weak or non-existent while LTE band 12 is available. You will still have data connection and you can receive and place non-emergency calls via Google Hangouts app (using Google Voice number). To place an emergency call you will have to either move outdoors where 2G or 3G signal is available or disable LTE to make your phone roam on another GSM network.

I have a OnePlus 2, and T-Mobile, but I'm unsure of how to check if my area has band 12....I went to this site here...

I just got the phone today, but so far it seems to be fully functional.

I can confirm that the Oneplus Two on T-mobile when on Band 12 LTE will drop to H or H+ when a call comes in if you have reception on those. I'm guessing it will also drop to Edge/GSM if a call comes in and that's the only reception you have for voice. I just did it at work right now where I'm getting Band 12 LTE. I called my cell from my work phone and the status bar dropped to H. I'm in the Los Angeles Metro area.

Also confirming. After downloading that LTE Discovery app, it said that I was on Band 12. I called myself from my home phone, the connection dropped from LTE to 3G and the call came in.

That's what I said was gonna happen. Reward please!! I take payments in cookies.
I can confirm as well. No problems with T-Mobile and OP2. Someone buy the man a cookie.
I have a USA Oneplus 2 Im using T-mobile and i haven't had a single issue with the phone and it works for me on LTE band
my Signal is great in California.
No problem here in Orlando, Florida.
So...this post from a similar thread in the OnePlus forums made a lot more sense to me than anything else I've read about this.
NaterTots says:
Some are getting confused in this thread.
Band 12 VoLTE support is important IF you have only Band 12 LTE coverage. Then you won't get any calls or texts since Band 12 penetrates buildings and rural areas better than the other Tmo bands.
If you're in an area that your connected to Band 12 BUT there are other bands around then your phone will switch automatically. No worries, you'll get calls and texts.
So if the OP2 doesn't support Band 12 VoLTE and you're not near any other Tmo bands then you'll not be able to make emergency calls or recieve texts.

TLDR: if there is another band available, you're fine, if not, you won't get texts or calls until there is.
No problem here with my oneplus 2 in chicago, IL. LTE works great

Jio 4G has been testing VoLTE in India and its full fledged. Its been more than an year actually. Sadly OnePlus 2 has not yet got VoLTE support inspite of lots of people asking for it. Most phones support it. Samsung supports VoLTE out of box. For example Galaxy A8 works flawlessly by just inserting the Jio sim. No settings needed. OnePlus is not bothered since they dont have VoLTE in China and its not a priority for them.
Jio supports VoLTE and Wifi calling.
With OnePlus 2 i feel pretty useless as I am able to use only data with 4G.
When somebody advertises the phone as 4G on what bases do they do it? I know its a relatively new technology but its just a matter of a small OTA update. And there has been lots of requests and complaints regarding it.
Jio has an application called Jio Join where in you can use VoLTE functions. So with that application calling and sms works. But you dont get the HD voice quality that native VoLTE offers and the application is kind of heavy.
It'll be good if you can put this up on the Oneplus.net forum. The company needs to see it.
Seen a few complaints about this, even on twitter and facebook. Considering Reliance is still pretty much operating in stealth launch mode, with full commercial rollout still 4-6 weeks away, my guess is OPO will release it in time for that. This reminds me of how HTC m8 was crippled without 4g support, till Airtel rolled out its initial networks.

The launch is much further than that from my guess. But networks are well laid out. I get strong signal everywhere. I feel it has better signal than most current operators and seeing that it is beta stage it is great. They want to make it perfect before they launch since they are going to rely on just 4G and they won't be rolling back to 3G or 2G when there is no signal. Well 2G will be long gone in a few years time.
Phones like Galaxy S6, Iphone and others like Moto G 3rd gen, Galaxy A8 all have VoLTE support. I am able to make calls in 4G through that. Awesome clarity I must say when its 4G to 4G. VoLTE is the future.
Airtel has kind of given a bad name to 4G by rolling out in bits. Well I hope OnePlus listens to this. It's just a matter of an OTA which will include an option to enable Voice Over LTE. They have the option WIFI Calling which doesn't work. Wifi calling is also being implemented in Jio.
And OnePlus Two supports many bands. In India we also have 800 Mhz band which is being used by Jio. It's a shame that they don't have a full fledge 4G phone just because of their crippled software.

Yup its working flawless with iPhone 6s+, they had a full fledged testing to get it Apple certified as well.
But don't confuse it with "Reliance" this is a different company. Reliance Communications is a company in loss with sad networks and cheap rates!
Jio is a different company. They also have apps like Jiochat, and other beta apps like Jio Play.

It says soon. Oneplus 3 already supports it out of box, so it's not a big deal to imagine that OP2 will get it soon enough.
It should be out before the official launch of Jio. I have heard the Jio and OnePlus are working together for VoLTE fix. Maybe they would also come up with three month unlimited data and voice option too.
current OOS 3.0.2 support VoLTE ?
Same question, is this already VoLTE supported? And if not then what do i miss out?

I use jio with oneplus2 as well. The only way I can call is by using JioJoin app, as you said, but is it just me or even you cannot use the calling function if WiFi is switched on? In my case I can call or can get calls only if I have switched on data from jio and switched off the WiFi in my phone.
Is that how it is supposed to work for now, before official VoLTE support?

That's the only way it works right now. Calls and SMS over Jio works only on data. Even with data off or on Wifi, you wont receive or be able to make calls or send SMS. It's not an ideal solution, but its the only workaround till OnePlus rolls out VoLTE (if ever).
VoLTE is basically carrier provisioning, it doesn't require any special HW, and OnePlus 2 is capable on the HW front. But even then, I really doubt OnePlus will actually roll out an update for that.

Do any of the other ROMs for the OP2 offer VoLTE?
OnePlus are the biggest fraudsters. I have got 3 oneplus 2 phones bought in december last year and Im a reliance employee working in the same office as the Jio people and trust me OnePlus is rolling out an update since ages. I have tried contacting OnePlus at ever level email forums even mailed the owners and India General Manager but no 1 not a single person cared to reply of even acknowledge it. Just a matter of a simple OTA and we are done but the just want us to but their flagship phone the OnePlus 3. I will explain why.
VOLTE enabling need the Mobile network operator to "certify" the device from the company. OnePlus 3 supports VOLTE which means it was certified by Jio officials and only then VOLTE was enabled. Now if OnePlus could certify 1 phone why not certify the Oneplus 2 as well at the same time and roll out an official OTA in a month afterall its not a big deal to include such a small feature in 1 month. But they dont want to.
Their motto should be "Just buy our new phone" and not "Never Settle"

I couldn't agree more with you that a modern phone such as the 8x would omit 5ghz wifi in this age and time. Even my Samsung Galaxy from 5 years ago have them. I also bought the Honor 8x model JSN-22 which do not support 5ghz wifi either. This is the biggest disappointment I have with the otherwise excellent phone. I also search around for solution and found out that there are three variant of the 8x and only the model JSN-21 support dual band wifi ,the rest(like ours) don't. As far as I know JSN 21 are available in some European countries only, and unfortunately my friend, we got the short end of the stick!

And JSN-23 also lacks NFC! I don't understand why they did this. Every other version of the Honor 8x seems to support it. It's so confusing that sellers were advertising the 23 as having 5ghz and NFC because the other versions had it. When going back to the sellers and letting them know - they are telling me I am wrong. Clearly there are some pretty big differences between the versions available.
All I can say is be very careful about which model you buy as retailers seem to be struggling with getting this stuff right (even online review sites).
5ghz not supported
So i'm confused, all specs show it will do 5ghz AC but the phones wont. Is this simply a disabled feature that the newest update will unlock or a Rom will allow or are we up a river without a paddle?
