Wifi calling? Does the amaze have it? - HTC Amaze 4G

Just what the title says does the new Tmobile HTC amaze have the wifi calling app? I ask because Tmobile website does not list it. So anyone with the phone that can verify would be appreciated. ;-)

yes it does, You will have to use the SIM card in the box or go get a new one for it to work. I had a less than half year old card and it did not work so I had to get a new one for it to work

Ok great so it does have it than. That's weird the website does not list that app for that phone. Is there any way you can show me a screen shot or video with the app in app drawer? Something.

You have to use the new sim that came with it, or the option won't show.

I see no Wifi calling on my phone, and I didn't xfer a sim card, since I left Sprint.
also, it isn't listed on the webpage, though it is in the manual @[email protected]

yeah i dont see it on my phone either....
EDIT:
did notice under settings > call > down at the bottom it has "internet call settings" and has "use internet calling" with 3 options
For all Calls
Only for internet Calls
Ask for each Call
is this it?

OK, got some info. The Amaze 4G does not have wifi calling at this time, though HTC is working on an update that'll include it. No ETA for that update.

i wonder how crackeyes got his

Looks like it's because he had the version 1.35 firmware on his phone. The newer 1.36 version must have removed it.
Maybe there was a problem with it that HTC is trying to correct?
EDIT: Come to think of it, maybe there was is an issue with how the implementation changed between the Amaze and the Sensation. The Sensation used the "standard" method that the previous Android phones used, a WiFi Calling app, looks like HTC tried to change it up in Sense 3.0 and it may have caused some problems.

Yeah just got mine and It's got no WiFi calling eitherand I'm running 1.36.
How do you know they are working on that? Please inform us thanks

Talked to a T-Mobile tech, obviously they usually know nothing, but she read a legit sounding email memo, along with the fact that the previous version seems to have had wifi calling, and that our manual says how to connect to wifi calling, you would assume they'd bring it back after whatever they are fixing. (hopefully anyways)

have the new sim in my amaze and I see no sign of wifi. I noticed you have to set up the 911 address on the website, so I did and nothing. I wonder if I have to wait for tmobile to recognize it.

so what is the verdict here? is wifi calling present or not? also is hotspot working? i brought back the gs2 because hotspot is now blocked on it and it didnt have wifi calling
hotspot shows up, but when yoou connected via an outside device it tkes you to tmo's website and shuts off..

You broke the terms so your paying the price. AYCE does not permit tethering only the one plan dies it's stated in the terms.
Give it a few days and try again but not sure if you can do anything as they would have logged it I guess.

I can confirm the only price plan that will allow you to tether is the one plan which i have bout 30gig a month use-age for me
As a guess you prob just abused there network policy and wont let you do it for a few days if all else fails till the end of the month

Hello iEthos,Recently got the 3 network text 900 and with all data you can eat ,which is not the one plan and i can't tethering with my Xperia play,Is blocking me out every time i am trying it.I used several apps to try tether also the app above which they reccomned it to you at this threat, i have tried it to my normal firmware and the updated one, and also i have tried it in my ics 4 firmware which i got the guide from here,So when you said you put a different Rom and then it worked which one you put it? And If you do not know,Do anyone else know what solve this problem?
I was able to bypass the tethering block by using a user agent switcher.
You can find some more details on it here - http://gezby.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=69
You can't bypass the block, come plans (eg One Plan) specifically allow you to tether, ergo no block. Your plan clearly doesn't allow you to tether, ergo block. Deal with it...

I would like to bypass three (3) uk's tethering block. I have tried various apps and even user agent switching but still no luck. Please help.
Update: I can now bypass 3 uk's tethering block by using a user agent switcher but it only works in mobile web browsing mode, does anyone know how to get normal web browsing mode on a laptop working with tethering? Thanks.

Hi mate thanks for taking the time and consideration to try and help me. I have now found away to tether on my laptop which was the problem but its only half as good because i have to browse in mobile web browsing mode not full laptop/pc mode. I realised my tethering works for other phone and tablets all except pc's and laptops. I found out that its due to the user agent, 3 blocks pc/laptop mode user agents so if you change your pc/laptops user agent to mobile web browsers agent then it works fine. Back then it used to work for me without using user agents about 6 months ago.
My question is how do i browse in full pc mode on my laptop? by using chrome beta? you dont need any other tricks?
Im on all you can eat data + 300 cross network minutes and unlimited texts for = £10 p/m.

[MOD] Without ROOT activate LTE D80x

Type in dialer:
3845#*802#,then the secret menu will come up...Then:
1. Go to LTE-Only
2. Modem Settings
3. RAT Selection
4. Select GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto or what ever selection you want
Job done...
P.S If you have another D80x just enter your model number instead " X " in dialer etc: 3845#*802 or 803 or xxx

Not necessarily.. phone such as the D801 for Wind Mobile in Canada, has LTE disabled by the carrier and needs to be enabled manually. This is mainly because Wind does not have a LTE network and so if you have a non Wind LTE SIM you will need to unlock the LTE option in order to use the LTE network or be stuck with 4G speeds.

you dont want to permanent enable LTE because then voice would not work maybe sending SMS would be a problem too, this is the case for T-mobile and I imagine the same for ATT, verizon and sprint uses CDMA technology so it may be different, but if you insist on doing it, follow op guide and check LTE only...
Indian Model also has LTE disabled, but this should enable it. Only problemwe do nt have LTE in the country anyway
I guess it will help me when i am travelling to Europe next.

Sorry i should have expressed more clearly what i meaned! I am looking for a solution that once i set it to GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto, this setting survives a reboot.
Untill now i have to set the optinion after every reboot again
Unfortunately this solution not run for me, I must activate it manually with an app.

Under Android Test Menu (*#*#4636#*#*) can you LTE enable and it works but to next Reboot it is no longer active. I have testing with this Setting and LTE work without Problems.

Lost 4G

Looking for assistance, rooted phone months and have rerom'ed multiple times, never had an issues. ROM to jelly whiz, which seemed and stable with great battery life, but lost 4G. Was suggested I recover back to stock which I did and still no 4G.
Anyone have thoughts?

I would look in the hidden menu, and see if you could switch to 4G only. There is an app called advanced signal status on the play store. It will allow you to do this.

Matters made worse late last night, OTA applied by wife trying to be helpful
still not grabbing 4G, anyone have thoughts?
Willing to offer reward to information resulting in successful restoration of 4G services.
@ursusblue,
There could be something going on with your SIM card. It may have been just a coincidence that the 4G stopped working when you were running the other ROM. You could try powering off your phone, removing the battery, and taking out the SIM/ then put it back in to make sure it's seated good.
If that doesn't work, you could try getting a new Sim from Verizon.... they should be free at the corporate stores. Or, you could call customer service to get one--they would probably mail you one free if you tell them your 4g stopped working and you think it might be a SIM problem. I was able to get a new Nfc-enabled SIM free about a month ago by logging onto My Verizon online account. I had noticed that they were offering to give away the free NFC Sim....I think it was under accessories or something like that. I still have grandfathered unlimited data and I was easily able to change my SIM after I received it by going back into My Verizon Account and doing it all online.
Good luck!

Good catch, I'll flip sims with the wife's phone tonight and see if that resolves the issue as a start.
Otherwise, I'm sure the knowledge is on the forums, just been messing with this long enough and at 65+hrs/week my bandwidth to find it is lacking
That will be great if it's something as simple as the SIM card. Hope that gets the 4g back. If not... I'm not sure what else it could be.

Failure.
Wife's sim card in my device only pulls up 3G
My sim in her's hit 4G.
Little frustrating to say the least.
Dang... that sucks. I was hoping that was it. At least you ruled out the SIM as the problem.
Let's hope someone else on XDA has some suggestions and you can get it fixed.

Odin back to stock. (not recover back to stock) Since its not the sim card. You will then regain 4G.
Do you have a nandroid from a previous ROM where you still got 4G signal? If so, did you try restoring it (even better if you backed up the EFS partition)?

No EFS backup to work from.
Here's several more ideas to try..... I don't know if they will work but they shouldn't hurt.
You could try pulling out the battery and SIM... then putting battery back in and power on the phone.... let it sit for at least 10 minutes with the no sim error... then power off, remove battery again, and put back in SIM and then the battery.. . Power back on again. From what I've read, this causes the phone to update the PRL.
Another thing I read was some people reported success with getting 4g back by doing a hard reset,(power up the phone and do factory reset from within stock ROM). Others reported success with doing factory reset by booting into stock recovery..... you could try both.
Another idea I read was you may be able to call Verizon Customer Service and talk with tech support to get them to reprovision your phone/ Sim settings.... tell them you no longer get 4g (leave out mention of rooting)..... tell them you saw in a Verizon support forum that reprovisioning might help, and ask if they can reprovision the settings for you.
One final thought (that may be more than you want to get into) is trying to root the phone with saferoot method, and then alter a system file to see if you can access the hidden menus and maybe try some reset codes like RTN and such.... you may end up doing more harm than good though unless you research to know what you're doing.... and I'm not totally sure that you can access all the hidden menus now that you're on 4.3 (I would have to do more research).
I hope something here helps. If it does, don't worry about the offer of a reward. I'm just doing this as a hobby and I enjoy learning.

oh yeah.... one more thought was to see if it might help to repair the phone by using Verizon's computer based repair assistant ....
Here's a link I found that looks to be to the Samsung repair assistant- http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/80201/
I suppose you could try a restore through KIES as another alternative. If nothing else works. Ok... I got to get to bed. Good Luck!!

I was having this exact same issue, and this seems to have fixed it. Thanks!
I have a thought/idea did you recently drop your phone or have it repaired?
I ask this bc I had a similar situation happen to me after I got my phone back from a eMMC repair.. I had no clue why I was only able to get 3g. . 4G lte never kick on..
Well about a week or two later I got a new 4.1.2 motherboard and while I was installing it I saw the 4G antenna, inside the phone, was loose and coming off..
So lone behold.. reconnected it and BOOM 4G lol..
Here is a video of a motherboard replacing for a note 2.. The LTE antenna He detaches at min 3:01.. it is a little wire looking thing..

I ask this bc I had a similar situation happen to me after I got my phone back from a eMMC repair.. I had no clue why I was only able to get 3g. . 4G lte never kick on..
Well about a week or two later I got a new 4.1.2 motherboard and while I was installing it I saw the 4G antenna, inside the phone, was loose and coming off..
So lone behold.. reconnected it and BOOM 4G lol..
Here is a video of a motherboard replacing for a note 2.. The LTE antenna He detaches at min 3:01.. it is a little wire looking thing..

Thanks, I am willing to give this a try as it is very frustrating to have this acting as a coaster now. In call data usage is a priority in my world.

Foxfi not working

When it calls the hotspot Verizon comes up and says that I need to subscribe. Is Foxfi working on this phone for anybody out there?
USB tethering through PDANet+, part/is FoxFi, works fine for me. The wi-fi doesn't work because I have the locked AT&T LG-H900 phone.
I have Verizon and I can't find anything to work.
Finally got it working.

On Verizon V10. Foxfi was working.. Now it won't start tethering. Gives me the error to contact customer service to add tethering. Anyone have any ideas on fixes.?
This guy claims a fix, but I call BS:

Stop calling BS! Why do I need to lie?
Here's the story... I work for a Verizon dealer and noticed this app called DT_Ignite downloading useless games on everyone of my customers phones while I am trying to transfer their stuff. This software obviously is loaded by the carrier and has permissions to install software in the background without your permission. I disabled it from the minute I turned the phone on. As a result, my phone didn't get the push update that EVERYONE else on verizon got. Trust me I have had NUMEROUS calls and text asking why foxfi isn't working. Here is your proof.

I can test this on new V10's that haven't received the update due to them still being in my stores inventory to see if my theory is correct. All I am trying to do is help you poor unlimited customers find a way back in the game!

Could the security updates/certificates be removed by restoring to stock, and removing that app without Sim card?

I disabled DT Ignite from day one on the phone as well. Has remained disabled... And my foxfi died mid Xbox live stream. Don't get me wrong. All of us would love to see a work around! Please share if you have it working! Thanks.

Unlocked V30+, triangle in status bar

Hey all, just inserted my existing Verizon sim into a new V30+ and everything seems to be working correctly. However, I've got a triangle in the notification bar and not sure what it means. I'm thinking maybe roaming? I didn't have a roaming signal in my current location on my Nexus 6 though. Any ideas?

Screenshot? Usually a triangle of the very left notification bar means a recent Google Play store app update.

That kind of triangle means you're roaming. See link above.

I have the same thing on the same phone on the same carrier.
Don't know why I'd be roaming. I have a 4G access point in my house.

Yep, I think it's because technically the phone isn't activated on Verizon. I just went into my account and it does not show as activated, when I try to activate it it says this phone is not compatible with VZ's network .. I'm guessing I can probably call in and get them to add it, have you already done that?

Huh, mine says Roaming but shows LTE and 1x. I'm wondering if the 1xRTT is causing it, it says it's network extended so I'm assuming being on 2.5g may count as roaming. Once I leave my house tomorrow I'm going to keep an eye on it and see what happens. Still haven't been able to get HD Voice but VZW support said they're opening a ticket to get it added to my phone.

Can confirm, out of my house my roaming triangle goes away. Looks like because I'm on 1x in my house it brings up the roaming icon even though I still have access to lte.

Not sure why you are posting in this thread. This thread is about US998 V30+ on Verizon network showing roaming indicator...
Advice? Yes. Stay away from Sprint phones unless you are a Sprint customer. Even then NEVER buy them on eBay.
