Galaxy Note 3 on Page Plus No Data

Hi, I have a old sprint galaxy note 3 that was flashed to page plus years ago. everything from calls text and 3g data was working until this morning when I accidentally hit a "network settings reset".
Now I can still make calls and recieve text but the data/Internet is not connecting. I looked in my APN settings and see that the needed Page plus apn is gone. But the screen is also greyed out so I cannot edit it.
My phone is rooted if this helps but I am relitively new to this. So if anyone can please help me in sort of simple terms I would be so appreciative & would even donate to a paypal account for the help. I rely heavily on my hotspot so I would like to fix this. Page plus was of no help because the phone is flashed.

Did you try going in the Settings menu and changing the network settings?

Wi-Fi Calling on Note 8 T-mobile using metropcs

I bought a note 8 a few weeks ago. It is an unlocked tmobile note 8. I called metro pcs, gave them the imei and new sim and voila, it worked fine on 7.0. All features worked. tmobile let me know that the newest software was available. I installed and unfortunately now wifi calling doesnt work (doesn't give me an option to use it) in the connection settings > more connection settings. option. Anyone else having this issue?
(Update) 4/11 . I am seeing that many features are not working. Is there a way to reinstall a clean version of oreo? I have tried a factory data reset but it seems it may be corrupt (video calling not working) (wifi calling not working or showing up in settings)

Honor 10 wi-fi calling

I know this phone supports wi-fi calling try I don't have the option in call settings.
My partner has the honor 9 and she does.
Were both on EE and my previous phone the S8 had it so I know my account has it enabled yet I don't see the option, am I missing something?
It's working without a problem.
You have to enable it under:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Cellular Network -> Wi-Fi Calling There is also the option to enable VoLTE.
Yes, I have WiFi calling with a second,spare, pre pay aim, but my main aim does not have the option listed, and I know the SIM is set up for it as it worked on my previous phone. I see no option for volte though on either. Shame.
It is so annoying this phone does NOT have wifi-calling. My son's Honor 10 Lite does!! But not this 'higher-specced' Honor 10. Really bad misfire for Huawei there. WiFi calling is such a useful feature. My other son's Samsung S8 even has it. And I had an Umidigi which had it. Come on Honor!?!?!?
My Honor 10 doesn't have the option for WiFi calling, i put it down to being a sim free phone, looking about, it seems it's only available of you have a handset with the carriers firmware on it?

Is RCS now live on T-Mobile for their Note 8?

Note 8 was added to T-Mobile's RCS supported phone page, but is it working NOW? Have the flipped the switch yet? I haven't received any software update yet.
Yes, it's live. But, you have to use the stock Samsung Messages app. Go to settings, then chat settings, and activate.

LG G8X and Wifi calling fix?

I have two used LG G8x - G850QM (unlocked) and G850UM (Sprint unlocked).
I am on T-Mobile for years.
The G850QM on T-Mobile shows wifi-calling on the menu and it works.
The G850UM has no wifi-calling switch on the menu, just not there.
I installed WiFi Calling app from Widget7 from Play Store. The app seemed to bring out a hidden WiFi calling menu. And the WiFi calling works. I confirmed the WiFi calls on my T-Mobile bill portal.
Hope this can help
Does it do anything for Volte?

I used two different VoLTE Check app. Both indicated VoLTE ACTIVE.
I dai!ed *#*#4636#*#* to go into Diag menu. "Phobe Info" indicated that
VoLTE provisioned
Video Calling Provisioned
WiFi Calling Provisioned
EAB/Presence Provisioned
But all the "switches" were grayed out.
This is in my daiily driver LG G8X g850UM on T-Mobile.
I assumed VoLTE is working automatically.
Most people with tmobile on this phone have found that for calls the phone goes from 4g to 3g when making a call. You will only see this transition if you are looking at the 4g indicator while on the call.
The concern is when T-Mobile discontinues 3g next month then you will not be able to make phone calls.
If you dont mind you might take a look as you make a call and see if it stays on 4g.
I understand. I, with 4 LG phones on Tmobile, am in the same boat with a lot of people. And I have purchased more LG phones- 3 V40 , 1 G7 and 3 Q7+ before I learned about the network transition.
Tmobile did a piss poor job in explaining the 3G shutdown.
Today is 4/1, with my Sprint-unlocked LG G8X, I can make a call and the LTE indicator stayed on.
This is what Tmobile has announced.
As of March 31, 2022, Sprint’s older 3G (CDMA) network will be retired
As of June 30, 2022, Sprint’s LTE network will be retired
As of July 1, 2022, T-Mobile’s older 3G UMTS network will be retired
Also Tmobile has delayed Sprint 3G shutdown until May 30.
Downloaded app and enabled, but all my buttons are still greyed out and it definitely still goes to 3g during a call? Not sure why it is not working on my phone?
It has something to do with the combination of native ROM, TMobile or Sprint SIM card in use, provisioning of VoLTE, and the (T-Mobile) LTE channels supported in your phone. I have not figured everything out yet.
It will be a rough ride for me until July 1 when the transition is over.
Forget what I've posted. I f'ked up. I mixed up 2 models.
I just received a T-Mobile email telling me my daily driver G850UM does not have the Volte turned on.
I looked up Phone Info and found Volte Provisioned switch is off and grayed out. When I wrote the post on March 31 the Volte Provisioned switch was on but grayed out.
I swap SIm card to the G850QM phone, and the Volte Provisioned switch is visible and in ON position. Look like I need to switch phone near term. And then find a way to cross flash QM firmware onto UM model. Need research. Fvk T-Mobile and the other two for doing their fake 5G rollout.
Thank you Buontinh. Got Volte, WiFi calling and video calling on my LG G7X G850UM on 20P software.
Uploaded the modded abl_a to both _a and _b. Insert an active T-Mobile SIM card, got new TMobile bootup logo. Got the wifi-calling switch. Got into Phone Info and saw votle Provisioned, WiFi calling provisioned, and video calling provisioned. Grayed out however. I made a call to my landline and the 4G LTE light stayed on. I guess it is working.
Still on Android 10 however.
The most difficult part was to get the phone on EDL mode. Must have tried 20 times before getting the "dark screen" EDL mode, only to learn that a Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 driver was needed too.
So I followed the below directions from reddit and it worked great on my velvet. I did the same thing on my LG g8x with *#546368#*850# code and I now have Volte, however phone still drops to 3g when it makes a call any thoughts on how to fix that?
There is a way to force enable VoLTE on the "LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim" specifically your version which is the "LM-G910EMW".
By default the feature is disabled on this model variant for who knows why.
Follow the steps below: 1. Click on the "Phone" app and dial "##4636##" -If done correctly it'll automatically bring you to the "testing" settings menu.
Click on "Phone Information" -you should see a list of VoLTE settings however by default they are disabled and greyed out but don't worry there's a way to reactivate VoLTE. (You Will Come Back to this Menu later)
Go to your file app and create a file named "enable_ue" -thats all you need to do just create the file, nothing more nothing less.
Go back to the "Phone" App and dial "#*462633*#910#" -This code is specific to the variant and will not work on other non LM-G910EMW Phones. Dialing this should bring up the "Hidden LG Menu"
Select Field Test>Universal Enabler>Create New Config -a menu with check boxes for VoLTE options appearing
Select the boxes as follows "VoLTE" "ViLTE" "VoWifi" "ViWifi" And finally hit "Confirm" -a prompt will appear stating "Vo Services Updated"
Immediately restart your phone to allow the settings to kick in
After your phone has restarted go into your Settings>Network & Internet>Mobile Networks -If done correctly the VoLTE option will now be unlocked and available.
Switch on the "VoLTE"
Now to double check that your phone now truly has VoLTE enabled, repeat steps 1-2. If done correctly the menu should now say "VoLTE Provisioned Video Calling Provisioned Wifi Calling Provisioned " -if these 3 are all switched on then you have successfully force enabled VoLTE on your LG Velvet 4G Dual Sim LM-G910EMW, congratulations!

Hello, I sintalled the app and it leads to a LG look menu I never encoutered with a WiFi calling switch !
However, when I go back to the app, then press again the button to open the menu, the switch is disabled.
Any idea how to keep it active ?
