Turned my phone on this morning to a new update. Still 6.0.1 with a build number of PJ4. Not sure what it "fixes" yet but noticed a new bloat app called Fullscreen.
I received this update as well. Just to be clear, this is bootloader 4, correct? I'm not sure how to verify. I am about to flash you're U version you posted, and hopefully get wifi calling and texting working on it. You said you flashed back to at&t version, may I ask why ?
Yes, everything's 4 now.
I flashed back to stock att too get wifi calling and volte back that wasn't available on the U

I am about to do that as well
I like the U firmware, but that damn WIFI calling is too important for me ( My house and work have no cell service). Damn AT&T and not having a streamlined WIFI calling system. Do you use the samsung disabler app at all? i use it to pretty much remove everything.
Even though for me wifi calling seems to not work as well after the update.
I do the same with PDP, I disable all I can!
Here what's new
Opps, I rooted the other day and then this update hit, thought I could ignore it but it applied it anyways. I tried to flash the "unroot" files, API2 seems the latest available, but I can not flash those. Do I just have to wait for Pj4 files to be available to flash?
My WiFi calling seems to be working fine. I usually turn on airplane mode though then WiFi. Forces WiFi calling

At my work it used to kick on wifi calling as soon as I got there. Now it rarely does. I haven't ever needed to try the airplane mode trick but Ill give it a go.
I do it because I have the slightest hint of service. I forgot where I read it, but WiFi calling is for when there is zero service . The airplane mode works pretty great. Hope it helps!

It wasn't until this most recent update AND a cache wipe/factory reset that Wi-Fi activation finally went through. I have it enabled and it over rides my cell service regardless of signal strength and airplane mode state. It's been clear as a bell for me, however, I've only tried it over my home network. I'd imagine it wouldn't work too well over an open public or overloaded network but I could be wrong

I was having trouble with no 3g service yesterday, and this is what FIXED it.. hit the menu/drawer button and click on the ACTIVATE icon.. you will see a countdown like 3....2....1 then you will get a ERROR (this is NORMAL, your already activated!) but it will reregister your phone with the network and your 3g should work fine!
I did this yesterday, 3g worked all day, then turned phone off, and this morning the 3g is STILL working!
Try it and see if it works for you!
ALOHA!
can u explain more i cant understand
I have never seen activate button on my phone. what are you talking about?
Lame ... Repost of info...
This is covered in the other ROM threads, also ##virgin# (or ##847446#) does the same thing as long as you are running a semi-stock or stock rom. Be advised neither fix will work on Gingerbread based ROMs. The best bet is to do this and then flash to a custom ROM and you should stay active and re-established on the Virgin network. If you are having 3G issues with a custom ROM, flash to stock and run the activation and then flash back to the custom ROM.
never actived
I've never activated 3G before
So you never activated your phone? What are you using it as, a wifi only device? If you can browse the web without wifi then your phones 3g is active even if you don't remember doing it.

Thanks, this is a good post for those having mysterious 3G problems. I never thought about using the activate app. ##virgin# never worked on my phone, even when I was on the stock rom. This might also help those having first day of new billing cycle 3G problems.

Did you root and uninstall the Activate ap? Every VM670 should work with this right out of the box...
Be advised that VM is having random 3g issues today, so this fix may not work for you...
after the latest update which is 45.2.7MB855.Sprint.en.US was shown in system updates, i installed the update but after updated my wifi wont turn on, it says error everytime I try to turn it on.
Note : Im using Photon outside US running GSM, I dont this this will make any difference right?
Actually it is the problem haha. When the phone turns on, it searches for a sprint network even if u set it to gsm only. And for some reason if it doesn't find a sprint network, it freezes up the 4G and wifi radios. Only thing that worked once in a while was put it on airplane mode, reboot. Wifi works then. Have somehow got it working alongside a gsm network a couple of times by trying to contact sprint servers while taking it off airplane mode but after 20mins, phone overheats and restarts. Not the most ideal situation. So no solution yet. Hopefully motorola/sprint fix it soon

I don't think mine searches for sprint network because I had mine activated from sprint, and phone was working just fine before the update the wifi error came right after I updated, I think its the updatethat have caused it
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
If I'm not mistaken, the update resets the activation. I know I read a thread somewhere that said this. I cannot be sure because mine's not activated.
Anyway, to freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk, you'll have to download Titanium Backup. You also need to be rooted...

Hi, posting here to not create a new thread about this.
I have a Mopho and i am using it outside US, it doesnt give me much trouble after the initial loading screen "looking for network" and stuff from sprint.
I did the freeze SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk with titanium backup and it did work to eliminate the searching screen, however, the phone now never asks for my pin code, that means i cant connect to anything, i can easly turn back on the SprintOmaDmPlugin.apk but that makes the searching screen start up.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Phone is brand new, stock everything just rooted.
Thanks.
use this patch correct wifi error
That patch does not work.
Motorola has posted the file, try reading the readme
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.
Sent from my Atrix XDA Premium App
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.

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?

'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.
Hi,
I just wanted to put this out there if any of you guys like me relies on the T-mobile LTE Cellspot to get a good signal and data in your house. On 5.1.1 it worked like a dream, with speeds up to 60 mps download. As soon as I installed the update I'd no-longer get LTE using the cellspot. The LTE light stopped blinking (it should always blink when your getting LTE on your phone), and the 3G/4G light started blinking and all I could get was 4G with 10-12 mps download and I'd loose signal all together a lot. Witch never ever happened before the update. So I did all the usual things. I did a factory reset on my phone . I did a reset on my cellspot. I called Tmobile the first time and the guy basically said 6.0 is buggy and you'll just have to wait until LG issues another update to fix this bug. He offered me LG's phone number I said forget it and hung up. I thought about it a bit then called back. This guy just immediately issued me a replacement device, witch they sent overnight. I got it in the mail yesterday and when I set it up it was still on Android 5.1.1 and works perfectly again. I'm scared to update it again. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has a V10 and uses an LTE Cellspot and has updated to 6.0 and had any of these issues? If so please let me know. If your still on 5.1.1 and rely on a cellspot then beware of updating to 6.0.
thanks.

I am in the same situation. I traded in my TMO wifi router for the LTE Cell tower. Great addition since we had 4 phones and 2 tablets that were all on wifi prior to. Once I updated my V10 (via LG Bridge) I immediately noticed a difference in signal strength. Prior to, I had full bars of LTE coverage anywhere in the house. After the update, I regularly see the spinning circle (searching for signal) above my signal bars, and even out in public, my signal strength has dropped. I was going to be patient and see if another update followed soon. If not, I might root and start testing other roms and kernels.

Unfortunately if you took the mm update there is no root yet... You're stuck waiting.
Here's hoping for a root breakthrough!

Thanks for the info guys. I got lucky and Tmobile sent me a new V10 with Lollipop still on it so it's working great again. I noticed that that MM update isn't available anymore, the few times I checked anyhow, I called Tmobile, and I don't know if the guy was full of it or not but he said they pulled the 6.0 update and are working on putting out a 6.01 update that works better. But if you hurry and call Tmobile they may send you a new phone that's still on Lolipop like they did for me. Let me know if an new update comes out that works with CELLSPOT otherwise I'll wait for root. Thanks for the feedback though I really appreciate it.

According to the Marshmallow update page for T-Mobile devices as well as the support page for the V10, they have not pulled the update nor is there any mention of them doing pulling it so the dude who told you they did us full of, well you know what. Never believe anything the customer service person on the phone says because 9 times out of 10, you will know more then them, and they are clueless most of the time.

Ok, T-Mobile is aware of this issue and are currently working on 6.0.1 to fix the problem, I don't know how long, but I was lucky enough to get a replacement phone with Lolipop, and I'm not updating it until the 6.0.1 is out and somebody successfully did it and it works, until then I'll stay on lollipop, all I really miss is Google now on tap.

I'm not 100% certain on this, but I believe that freezing the update center Will Stop the MM upgrade because I tried that & it seems to have have been the cause of the notification disappearing. I had to restart my phone after freezing it to make the notification go away, but it did go away without my hiding the notification for Google play services. I hope this is able to help you
Saw that they finally have root for MM but I do rely on the T-Mobile cellspot at work. Also you guys mentioned that you random signal lost while out and about. I'm not gonna take the chance to update my phone. Will wait and see what v6.0.1 brings. Otherwise, I'm content with lollipop, does all I need it to. I used Siraltus's methods to disable the OTA notification.

My wife and I have the V10's and are tired of the network drops.... getting old. worked fine on lollipop. I guess it's a waiting game now, since there are no publications on this issue. every time I call customer support, they have no idea that this is a problem.

I was told the same thing and I was sent a replacement phone with Lolipop still on it and I haven't upgraded again. I don't know if that's still an option or if they're shipping the V10s already with the 6.0 update. It might be worth looking into. If you raise a big enough stink they'll send you new phones. I couldn't live with this phone on 6.0, it was horrible. All I really miss about the update is Google now on tap and that's not really a huge deal because this phone is so awesome running on 5.1.1 on the cellspot.

LTE Connectivity now working
Came home today and LTE connection from cellspot working. I don't think T-Mobile updated phone, as there were no updates. I think they may have updated the LTE cellspot via internet connection. Did a hard reset of cellspot yesterdat. LTE connects with 35 mbs speed (same as internet connection). Greensboro,
NC
If you have updated your phone like me and lost the native WiFi (grayed out apn type settings). One temporary fix is to restart your phone and when it comes back up the first thing you should do is turn on the hotspot before all of the services kick in. The only problem is that once you turn it off and need it again you will have to restart your phone again.
Hopes it works for you like it did for me.
I don't know if this has been said in a previous post.

If you get the 'no data connection' error,
just quickly turn off hotspot and turn on again.
This is all about timing,
turn on hotspot too quick after reboot and the data radios have not yet connected,
too long and the verify subscription kicks in.
there is a window inbetween that works.

I need WiFi Tethering. Currently have a S5 that works great - but upgrade is coming next week. Deciding between S7 and LG G5 - but both seem to not have root available. I don't really care for root, but I must have WiFi tethering.
So does it work or not work for the S7? Any reasons to get the G5 instead?
