Hey guys, I like some of you had suffered from a broken LTE radio from the last security update which was November security patch. This has been driving me crazy the past couple of weeks. LG has acknowledged this as being a known issue and is instructing people to simply switch from GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto to GSM/WCDMA auto which does restore connection. This simply is not good enough and we cannot possibly be expected to settle for barely 3G speeds and just crap signal until they get their butts in gear and fix this. Anyway enough blabbing because realistically you just want the fix.
Below is the response LG has given which acknowledges the issue but by no means is an ideal fix.

So the goal is to get our Preferred network mode set to LTE/CDMA which currently is not an option. So we need to make it an option manually.
So below I'm going to list all the things I've done. Some may not have actually been needed so I'll update and edit this accordingly based on feedback and thread participation. This takes about 5 minutes of messing around to make it happen.
It's not a bug it's a feature:
There is one known issue that I haven't tried to fix yet but it really isn't that big of a deal. Doing this seems to kill your voicemail shortcut when you open the dialer and long press 1. When you do so it does try to dial voicemail but tells you that your call cannot be completed. However you can access it still by simply dialing your own phone number. We're going to call this Collateral damage for the time being. I'll play around and see if I can get this working again but really not too many people leave a voicemail anymore so I'm not overly worried at this point.
If you want you can also contribute to this thread and if you find something that fixes this or notice anything below as being an extra step let me know and we can update this process accordingly. The key here is to note that these are all the steps I took to restore my LTE and it worked.
So first things first you need to tinker with activities. The easiest way to do this is downloading "Activity Launcher" .
Open up Activity launcher and let it load
Scroll down until you see Network and expand it. (you can just search for it too if you prefer)
Scroll down and select com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCMCC
Click on Network mode which may say "null"
Select the top option which is LTE/CDMA If you do not have the option of LTE/CDMA continue the rest of the steps and then move on to part 2
Directly below it select com.lge.networksettingsMobileNetworkSettingsForGLOBAL
Select Network mode (should show Preferred network mode: LTE/CDMA)
If not select network mode and choose LTE/CDMA
3 options below it, select com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSBM
toggle to the on postion: Use 4G data Network. This may take a second to show your network in the status bar icon again
Next directly below that select com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSKT
Under Network mode select LTE preferred
Done. All should be well now. Go ahead and test it out by send yourself some text messages or whatever but it should be all set now. If you mess something up do not panic you can simply reset your network settings by going into the settings app, selecting Network & internet and at the bottom selecting Network settings reset if you absolutely feel you need to.
Part 2
Open your dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*
And see if you can change your preferred network to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)
Under Network/Mobile networks check com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSP CS, network mode, select LTE/CDMA
Network/Network com.lge.networksettings.UPLMNEditor: choose GSM as your network preference then press the 3 dot menu to save
Scroll down to Settings and scroll way down to com.android.settings.BandMode and select automatic
Now go back to the Network activity and we're going to revisit the option that previously may not have been working. As a reminder it was com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCMCC
Click on Network mode which may say "null"
Select the top option which is LTE/CDMA
You should now be good to go!
Credits: LG for not fixing this in a timely manner and giving us the most ridiculous temp fix ever
Hi
When i go in com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCM CC , the network mode is not highlight so i cannot change to LTE/CDMA.
It is not highlight and it set on 3g/2g. I dont know how you can change it because i cannot press on it to change it.

Go through all the other steps and come back to it then. It is possible that some may have to be done first to unlock others. I tried to make note of each step I did but some may not have been noted in order. Let me know how this goes. I'll update the instructions if something is found to be out of order

Hmmm maybe I've missed a step. For that I apologize if so. I tried to jot down all I did. Ok try this
Open your dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*
And see if you can change your preferred network to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)
Then see if you can go into settings, network & internet, mobile networks, and select LTE/CDMA from there. Maybe it's that simple and everything else wasn't needed. I'll check activity launcher again and see if I omitted something else from here.
Update; try these too
Maybe check Settings activity too and scroll way down to com.android.settings.BandMode and select automatic
Under Network/Mobile networks check com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSPCS, network mode, select LTE/CDMA
Network/Network com.lge.networksettings.UPLMNEditor: choose GSM as your network preference then press the 3 dot menu to save.
LG did the same thing with the EU version V10. Anno. There was no solution to that. If you didn't find an LTE network, you didn't have 3G either. That's where LG service recommended it. Leave it on 3G. Don't use LTE (only problem with telecom network) Funny / sad they are not learning ..

Not for consolation. But Samsung does the same sometimes. I used to do S7. And now they are struggling with the Galaxy S10E (Vodafone network only)
It looks like the update has been pulled now. I waited because of LTE issue but I just tried to update to try the fix and it tells me I'm up to date with 10b. LG or the carriers must finally have seen the issue, maybe a fix is incoming.

HI Negan.
Sorry if it took me a bit of time to answer you.
I just wanted to try everything you post to try to fix the LTE connection à full day.
I tried my phone today for a full day and I even ride in my car for 2 hours and it looks like it's working for me.
I did the *#*4636#*#* and change the network to LTE/CDMA auto and all the other thing you wrote. My phone work all day without loosing the connection.
I will try it for a few more days and i will get back to you if everything still working fine in a couple of days.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, sorry if my English is bad but I'm a francophone (French) from Montreal Quebec and I have little problem with my english.

All good. I'm glad to hear it's working for you now. I was also a bit skeptical at first thinking maybe the signal wouldn't last and it was too good to be true but it should hold up for you. OP updated with extra steps now.
What a waste
Great phone if it worked correctly I go the following info from both LG and Bell is no timeline to fix the issue yet they are still selling the phone.

Have you used my instructions to fix yours?
Even though I was unable to change the settings for com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCMCC (it was always greyed out), it still fixed the issue so thanks a lot.
I recently started getting Proximy Error issues and when I called my guy at the cell store I have been told that the new update is coming shortly fixing the LTE and Proximity Sensor issues. Apparently the December update was released without proper testing (Xmas rush).

Just updated my LG G8X to 10g, and there are no issues with LTE over here.

No... I was not. I got the phone with 10b installed, and just updated to 10g. 10c wasn't an option.
So on new devices this is not an issue?

I think they have fixed it but I'm not 100% sure. I sold my G8X. I simply wasn't happy with it all around.
Thanks, that's a vote for wait and see what compromises they design into a V60.

Thank you, that did the trick for me. I just moved from Straight Talk to MetroPCS. The rom I am currently running on my phone had MetroPCS APN settings built in, but they were different. I assume they must be for the old cdma network. In any case they were working for me, but LTE was only pulling 2 mbps. I changed to your settings, and speeds are now back to where they were on Straight Talk.

Update on metroPCS APN settings.
Hello, all:
I just set up two phones on metroPCS, one of them a new Kindle Fire phone for my wife, and my Samsung S4 GT-i9500 [PhoenixROM]. I tried utilizing the settings supplied on the phone after the initial configuration; Internet connectivity from the phone did not work. I tried the settings listed here, but I continued to experience the same issue.
After dealing with these not working, I ended up taking a look at my wife's phone, which had worked without any problems immediately after setup. Upon comparing her settings to the settings listed here in XDA, the one big difference I had noticed was on the APN setting. When I changed the setting to what she had, it started working immediately.
If anyone is having a similar problem, change the "APN" setting to: fast.metropcs.com vice fast.tmobile.com (or fast.t-mobile.com); it should take care of the problem. HTH someone like the site has helped me.
Hello, I am in the same boat and the above posts have not worked for me. I recently bought the Elephone P6000 so it didn't come with any APNs by default.

Fast.t-mobile.com and fast.t-mobile.com both worked for my M8 (fast.metropcs.com did not anymore after Lollipop upgrade), however, since you are not using an HTC One, try using the fast.metropcs.com APN as suggested by OS2Tech. Good luck!
our missing a / in your Web a dress //
1. Insert Straight Talk ATT sim
2. Set mobile networks to GSM/UMTS
3. Go to system updates and select update PRL
4. After its updated go back to mobile networks and switch it from global back to GSM/UMTS (it will auto switch when you update prl)
5. Go to roaming in settings and scroll to the bottom and set APN
6. Download Signal Check or Signal Check Pro from the play store to show data signal in the status bar
7. The no sim icon will still be in the status bar but you can remove ot with tweakboxand set carrier text
YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THIS EVERYTIME YOU REBOOT YOUR PHONE SO ITS TEMPORARY UNTIL WE GET FULL UNLOCK
PLEASE SHARE AND GIVE THANKS
(I have only tested this with an ATT ST SIM)
I installed cloudy and used network app from the play store and picked cmda/gsm/lte everything works. I didn't even have to set the apn or mess with the dialer it is all good ?
I registered my phone with Straight Talk a couple days ago and I've been trying to get it to work. I've looked everywhere and Straight Talk has lived up to their reputation of having terrible customer service. Anyway, they've confirmed that my phone is activated, but I can't make a call or anything. I'm thinking it has to do with my settings.
Just to cover all the bases, I tried to activate on the CDMA network via the network access code, but I couldn't register my phone due to no coverage in my area (which I know is not true). So I registered on GSM with the ATT SIM card. My Sprint service no longer works, although I'm showing signal bars in the status bar. Whenever I try to make a call it says "Unable to validate your account. Please contact customer services."
I tried the steps listed in the first post but whenever I switch to GSM/UMTS and try to update the PRL it says "Authentication error. Please try again later."
It's also worth mentioning that my phone is rooted and I have frozen a lot of apps, most of which are listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/sprint-g3-bloatware-list-t2873199
If anybody out there can help I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure where else to turn.
You can try my guide it may allow you to fully unlock your settings so you can do what he is saying above.
Here is the thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/how-to-gsm-unlock-t2961099
Ok, after much research and many reboots, I've finally got it working. I tried several different methods but the one that finally worked for me was installing the CloudyG3 rom. I'm no expert by any means but my guess is because you have to completely overwrite any evidence of Sprint that is preventing the other carrier's SIM card from working (for me this was ATT through Straight Talk). I had to set my Network mode to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. My data is not quite as fast as I had hoped at 21.06 down 3.72 up but at this point it's better than nothing.
A couple problems I've noticed so far is after cloudy finished installing and my Lookout was running it's first test it flagged QuickApps and LGBackup as malicious apps. I didn't uninstall them yet because they seem harmless but I did freeze them with Rom Toolbox just in case. Can anybody confirm that they're safe or that uninstalling them won't cause any bugs? Also my messaging app no longer works which is a little disappointing as I really enjoyed it for a stock messaging app. Anybody know why this is?

Your 4G is also working in gsm sim?
I have the LS990 (Sprint) so I don't know if it is the same for other devices (comment below if it works for you)
I am not responsible for any damage you do or any mistakes.
ROOT IS REQUIRED
DOWNLOAD THE SHORTCUT MASTER LITE APP IN THE PLAYSTORE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en
I was messing around with the hiddenmenus in the phone and I found a way to force LTE only on the LG G3. It normally does't give you that option in the Mobile Data network settings because you can't make calls on just LTE yet so if you turn this on, make sure you switch it back to what setting it was before so you can make and receive calls.
Launch Shortcut Master Lite and open the menu to search for "systemselection"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
tap on "com.lge.hiddenmenu.vzw_only.SystemSelection" and click launch. Then Grant SU.
Then finally tap on Network mode and you will be able to select LTE only. Again make sure you switch it back so you can receive and make calls.
There you go! I am with Sprint so sometimes data is really slow and for whatever reason sometimes my data would stay on 3G even though I am in an LTE area so this way forces it on.
I have more goodies if you guys want to see them (ex: see what LTE band you are on and and turning them on and off, turning on Lab mode, production mode to Lab mode, etc)
Just to let you know lte does not support calls so you will need to enable VOLTE so you can get voice over lte (volte). You can enable this via shorcut master just search "VOLTE" then enable it. (Just thought I'd let you know )

I was just complaining the other day about how I missed svdo that the HTC evo 4g lte had. Simultaneous Voice over data. On this device, when you start a call, data connection stops.
Would VOLTE enable svdo? Thatd be absolutely awesome.
I was reading about some secret menu and it has a mode like that I tried it and I was able to make calls and come on xda. I will have to look for the exact setting but you can find the area in shortcut master just search for "com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu.sprintspec.Data" (No quotes). You need your MSL code in order to modify these settings if you don't have it you can call sprint and request it for free. The only thing you need is your account pin code and your phones iemi if you have multiple device's it just makes life easier for the person. Then just click "Edit" and type in your IEMI number and you can edit anything.
I don't know for sure and I don't take responsibility if you do this but I am pretty sure that you have to turn on "DDTM". You can find it under "EVDO". Again I have no idea if this is it so just make sure before doing this you make a backup. If something goes wrong PM me and I will help you. If you don't make a backup and something goes wrong don't get mad at me because I will not help if your mean
So VOLTE allowed you to browse Xda while in a call, or DDTM did? Sorry, just a bit confused. But if you found a way to have data and phone at same time, that would be fanfreakingtastic !

VOLTE allows you to do that but Sprint is not setup for that. You can't call with data anyways with tri-band devices but you could with LTE non-spark devices. It has to do something with the number of radios.
Damn, that sucks. My evo LTE had svdo, and that was such a great feature. Really pisses me off that CDMA tech makes it necessary to have extra radios for that, radios that no one includes. I believe the evo lte and one Samsung or moto device had the appropriate radios, and that was it. The 2 flagships during early stages of lte rollout were the only ones.
Sorry for hijacking thread.

It's ok. Did the force LTE on work for you? No one else gave me confirmation. If it did could you say the version of Android and what device you have?
I haven't tried yet, sorry. I was unclear if DDTS needed to be selected, or just VOLTE.
Has anyone had luck with DDTS change?

That short cut is for ##data# dialer code, now I wish I had data when making a call. But no sprint phone I ever owned did it, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.

I did the force LTE and it works great. I'm in a horrible LTE area, aka, the entire state of NH, so forcing it to only LTE really helps keep it there once I have it. Thanks!
great job on this one....it does work but yes u cant make or receive calls but text does work....to change it back u can just go under normal network setting and reselect it

I was able to perform the same steps on the VzW G4 with success. Each of the modes seems to work as described!
I wonder if there is a way to get to the Phone Info screen though, I'm fairly sure its just a simple hack to enable it, as a dialog pops up over the info screen that says "This application does not work on this device."
So a little background on why I'm posting this. I have owned a G4 G5 G6 and V20, all on Sprint, and none of these devices can ever access the Phone Info section or "Radio Info" section as it's referred to on the Hidden Settings shortcutter App. I believe Sprint or LG removes access to this area on all LG devices. On all of the ones I've owned I can try and access the section but only catch a brief glimpse of it when I try to access using a shortcut app. It is always immediately covered by the same message every time which is: Note This application does not work on this device.
Now I just activated a V30+ a couple weeks ago which I received through Sprint's normal telesales channel and on this device I can get to and modify most fields in the section. I haven't seen other people posting about this so maybe it's standard for everyone with the LS998 Sprint variant and no one really cares or just doesn't have anything to say about it. If thats the case, my apologies for wasting everyones time with an unnecessary post .
If my access to this area is a one off situation and could help lead any developers or more avid tinkerers to any discoveries I'd be happy to test out some things together with anyone with more experience than myself. I've been holding off on attempting to unlock the bootloader and haven't done any PRL updates or resets just in case this access is worthwhile as I've been worried something is going to update and take away my ability to get into the section.
I've included some screenshots. I've cropped them to try and remove some of the more personal data but I think all the relevant sections are covered.
*** Below are some questions and thoughts I've had. I hiding the section it to keep things less cluttered for those that are just reading up but dont have any experience or opinion on the settings/functionality etc***
If everyone can already get to this section, have you changed your bands or modified any of the settings and what results did you see?? I've been tempted to switch up some settings and run some tests but I'm being kinda chicken about changing anything because I can't find any info on people using this menu to do anything except screw up their coverage. A few example seems to be people on different earlier LG models that select USA but live outside the US and then cant get it back to their countries settings.
Here is a list of things I would like to examine more, or try out in these menus. Maybe some of you have already done such or have the same questions. Any feedback would be cool on any of these things or even warnings or endorsements. I would love to learn a bit more about this area and its possibilities.
Under the "Set Preffered Network Type" option I would like to change the current setting of LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL) to one of the other options and see what happens. I believe this area is relatively safe and can be switched back to the original setting easily. I'd like to switch to Global Auto Mode, Unknown Mode, GSM Auto mode and LTE Only Mode and run some speed tests and see what towers its connecting to in each.
There are four toggle switches, one of which is grayed out. This is the Video Calling Provisioned Switch. Curious if this would possibly become accessible in another mode, or if there was something i could change in a database editor that would allow me to switch this to "on".
The only setting I did change was the one DNS Check. It was originally set to disallowed and I switched it to allowed. I dont really know what changes or abilities this added or took away and have not seen any difference since doing so.
The SMSC when Refreshed will give me an 11 digit number in "" followed by a 3 digit number. It begins with +1 giving it the appearance of a phone number. I believe this has to do with SMS provisioning but am unsure and have not modified the info here.
One part I am very curious about is a grayed out button labeled OEM-specific info/Settings. I have searched like crazy just to try and find some info on whats behind that button and got nada.
In the additional menu section (the three dots) I have an option to Select Radio Band. When Pressed it takes me to a menu which sats "set GSM/UMTS band". This is the area I have found little about other than what I mentioned earlier about people getting locked out of their country settings. I have not touched this setting.
The IMS service Status of my device seems to not populate correctly as I'm listed as not registered or unavailable for all sections as seen in the picture attached. I could swear that a week ago I was showing "registered" but if so thats no longer the case.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Do you mean the ones within thd expanded part of the phone info section? If so, I've checked those out and they are blank. Screenshots attached.
So enough people have seen this post now that someone with a V30+ should be able to confirm whether or not others can get to these settings.
Anyone?
There is several other threads about this already. I found them while trying to find a way to get more ?? bands working on my India based phone. Nothing new i don't think and none of it actually helped, for me at least. There is a dialer code for it but i can't remember it.

I'd like to hear what you tried out and see what changed and what stuck and what didn't. . Maybe we can get your phone working better here in the states if we team up on the problem... I know my avatar shows I'm a junior member but that's because I don't really post often, but I do plenty of reading and tinkering myself and I have been in the Telecom business for about 15 years. I'm not an expert or making any guarantees but I certainly don't mind helping out a fellow member here if I can.
Do you have your MSL code? I have mine so if you have yours maybe we can take a look at how my phone is provisioned in the ##data# menu and get your bands setup the same way since mine should already be configured to the proper bands for the U.S. Between modifying that area and making some changes in the Radio info section that could do the trick for you. Let me know if you'd like to work on it and we could PM or you could reply with a run down of what you've tried and how you're setup now and we could go from there.
Cheers.

Field test. LTE band selection. Selecting any band from the menu just makes it completely lose cell signal. After selecting a band it just either says success or fail.

Ok so that dialer code doesn't trigger anythibg on my model. I also tried replacing 930 with 998 and tried replacing the *# and #* with just ## and no luck. But no worries.
I'm thinking you may need to change your settings in two menus in order for the new settings to work together. If you go into your Data menu (##data# or maybe *#data#* on your model) and update the information there to match the ones I am attaching in my screenshots and then go into the Radio Info menu and select a similar setup to how my device is provisioned you may see some success.
Thoughts?
You would need your MSL code in order to change the settings in the ##data settings....
Where do i get msl code?
Neither of the data dialer codes are working for me.
Oh those settings are only for cdma phone?

There are a bunch of tips and tricks to find your MSL code posted throughout the boards, but I have only ever got mine from the carrier. If you call customer service you can usually talk them into giving it to you, though their policy on this is to not give it out unless your phone is fully paid for / out of contract. If you tell them you are working with a tech in a store and need it for provisioning they will normally give it to you.

I know this may not be in the right place but does anyone know how to bypass frp lock on this phone
Hi, canadian s23 ultra on telus provider , that block the option to prioritize wifi.
So even if sometime I got mobile network, it kicks me out from wifi, but still the signal to weak to make any calls...
I've called the tech, and this is a internal policy to unload their server.
But makes no sens for me, wifi calling is useless.
Only option : toggle airplane mode ... ok, phones can play AAA games, but not prioritize wifi.
My OnePlus 5 is rooted and I can force wifi, any way for the non-rooted S23?

That's a d!ck move by Thellus... unexpected even for a cartel member.
Videotron allows the selection and also I can turn on WiFi after putting the phone in Airplane mode.
Try to play around with service codes (fewer and fewer working these days) or to create a shortcut from Settings menu using

Put the device in Airplane mode and turn on WiFi. The Telus implementation of WiFi Calling is very disappointing.

yeah this is what the tech told me, but dont work at all.
-Go put the trash out at few meter from my house, wifi disconnected, go back home EVEN IF IM ON AIRPLANE MODE , it wont AUTOMATICALLY reconnect ! Missed a call.
-I go get the kids at school : forgot to toggle back , no signal, a client called.

Telus requires WiFi Calling activation. Have you activated it through their website? It's a crap shoot system. They also heavily limit devices that are "compatible" with their WiFi Calling. They don't really want people using WiFi for calls.
Of course it's enabled, it's working, but drop me out the moment I got signal.
BUT not because I got signal that means it's stable !
If I put air plane mode, Wifi calling, dont move that expensive phone, so yes, Wifi calling is working.
Telus don't want us to use wifi calling, telus don't want client, too bad, full refund and make me , their tech and their seller loose time and money for a stupid simple option ''wifi prefered'' blocked by their policy.

I just tried to use some routines to make this work properly. Basically, I selected a location to be at home and turn on airplane mode and another routine when I'm leaving home to turn off airplane mode and enable mobile data.
I haven't tested this yet but in theory, it should work.

yeah should work most of the time, but when the wifi connection go off and back , the routine wont work.
Anyway, Telus shop is in front of Rogers shop at my office, I just get refund in one, and got back on track with the other and never deal with this BS connection in 2023 !

Have you tried reaching out to their engineering team? I have dealt with them directly before for a few different things. The last time I had to deal with them over WiFi Calling, which was years ago. They made sure it was provisioned to work on the LG V30 I had and it was solid. It took 2 weeks of callbacks to get someone from their engineering team though. Don't call support or customer care either. Call their main number in BC and let someone call you back.
One of my carriers, Vodafone NZ, does this too. They prefer VoLTE in front of VoWiFi. Massive pain if your on the boarder of coverage as the limited signal you do get isn't enough for a usable conversation, but enough to drop VoWiFi. Missed and rubbish calls result.
Typically the carrier hides this toggle behind their carrier settings. You used to be able to access and change this hidden setting with the Samsung Band Selector app, but this no longer works for me. You can still see the toggle, the app just crashes when you try to make the change.
I'd be very interested to see a workaround too.

yeah, when you type this kind of issue, Vodafone is the king of this topic ! I read most of the vodafone forums, and some get it by some app , like wificalling or VoWifi on the playstore. But none are working.
VoLTE work when you have signal, which I dont have... My reading are -100 to -109 dB, wifi calling seems to stop when I reach around -88dB , but way too low to make a call.
Yes Ive reach the eng. dep : internal policy it appears. I'm trying to make this policy change for me, because you know, its a mouse click to have the VoWifi working at no extra cost.
FINAL UPDATE,
Tried an other provider sim ( videotron) and the option appeared !!!
So yes COMFIRMED, providers block the option, so makes the wifi-calling useless in low coverage area.
You could always file a complaint with the CRTC, not that I think it would do anything. They are more crooked than the FCC and FTC.

I mean they don't lie, they have the wifi calling, but if you're in a 0 signal zone.
In a ''in between'', which is IMO very useful, it doesn't work.
They have the right to do this, and it work with their definition. Only thing, it's bad that they don't tell you.
How many client are in my situation, not much I would say.
Yes there's many post on that.
And now 5 new from me.
Maybe one day they will change it, but it won't be this week, and I need to return the phone before 14 days ( as been 7 and weekend they are closed)
Please tell me guyz Rogers got this option !

It's the point that they offer something but render it almost useless on purpose. I know. In Canada, that is perfectly acceptable. Just look at their list of approved WiFi Calling devices for Android.

Rogers WiFi Calling works. It's just as trash as AT&T's implementation though because it's the same implementation. The only carriers with the same implementation as T-Mobile USA is Bell and Freedom. Freedom's service is a joke though.
