Hello.
I finally upgraded to ICS and Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have some issues in my area with 3g not "working", i.e. data will transfer with Edge (slowly) and with H(+) (quickly, but totally freeze up while the status bar shows "3G" connection, and only start again when it changes to E or H(+). It switches a lot between 3g and H, so my workaround was to use the hidden code *#301279# and disable both HSDPA and HSUPA. Which wasn't a problem as for some reason speed tests would give me 6,6mbps download with just 3G (makes no sense to me as I thought pure UMTS peaked at 384kbps?).
So anyway, when I flashed Resurrection I was pleased to see that it offers that very choice in its menus, choosing UMTS, HSDPA or both and HSUPA. Unfortunately it just won't "take" for me, with only UMTS chosen I still have H+, and hence 3G doesn't work. To make matters worse I can't get any hidden codes to work/activate in the dialer either (except for some reason *#*#4636#*#*).
So, my question is, is this due to 3rd party dialer instead of stock (and is stock dialer something I could get with RR ROM if so)?
Or is it this solution from galaxy S thread:

I've always had custom ROMs and no problem though Lite'ning, Criskelo and CheckROM probs were based from Samsung stock ROMs.
So, anyways, any way around this, so I can deactivate HSDPA/HSUPA?
No,Because you are special.
Anyone with an actual helpful response?

sorry ma8 REMIX is based on AOKP hence ALL samsung codes do not wrk on it with exception of a few
it has nothing 2 do with the dialer but the next ver of remix might address the issue
Oh bloody ..., now I have to find another ICS ROM again then... I need that workaround.
*sigh* any recommendations? I liked CheckROM pre ICS, but they're a bit slow with theirs.

give a try with SLIMrom ICS or Wanamalite pure ICS rom and see
And those are Samsung fw based both, so the codes will work?
Thanks either way.

Did you try if also the *#0011# works? I any case, what you need to know, is that (generally speaking) the following is true:
1) (RF related) "secret codes" are Application short cuts to the Radio firmware.
2) Thus the actual code running is in the radio (baseband processor), but there is usually a Java (Application) wrapper doing some of the menu graphics and what not, which then runs this code.
3) So, what codes are working, depends on the radio firmware and whether or not the wrapper applications have been installed with your ROM.
4) Try to copy your old "ServiceMenu" (or whatever it was called on your device) Application onto your new system.
5) Many ROMs are using minimized Kernels that disables a whole range of debugging and other (internal) service configurations, that may be needed to use the "secret codes".
Thanks for your response, even though some of it was lost on me.
Your code doesn't work either. Only one I've had work is *#*#4636#*#*.
What I find really strange is that my ROM (Resurrection Remix 1.8.1) has a gui choice for RF band as well. But even though I select UMTS only (see screenshot), I still get H coverage and my 3g acts up. Even with reboot. So if anyone has specific knowledge of this ROM, please share. I still lack posts to post in the ROM's thread in dev.

(also wondering what that 2G toggle in notifications/status bar dropdown menu is, but that is slightly OT).
Your point 4 is beyond me I'm afraid, at least without a step-by-step recipe.
Cheers for the response though.
Toggling UMTS only has never worked for me in any AOKP rom. Turning it using *# 301279# works well. Its nice to see websites load a trickle faster because it's not waiting for the phone to switch from 3g to H/H+. Try WanamLite rom.

Alright, fella!
1. Code as mentioned doesn't work.
2. Do you have the problem where data wont transfer/load when on 3g as well? Only on Edge or H/H+? Is this an Android thing or a SGS2 thing!? I'm guessing you're not on the Telenor carrier.
3. Is WanamLite non-AOKP based then, so it'll work? Didn't fall in love with WanamLite's look, so want to be sure.

Nah I'm with 3 UK but my speeds don't get any better to be honest on h/h+. The biggest difference I've seen was me getting 400KB/s on 3g and 460KB/s on h/h+, minus the 4-5 second delay when going from 3g to h and it doesn't really matter lol.
If data didn't load on 3g I'm sure there would be millions of unhappy customers lol, it definitely should work on either. 3 UK doesn't even have a 2g network so its 3g/h or nothing.
WanamLite is a Samsung based rom so all the dialer codes work and battery life in general is better than a AOKP based rom. I think it looks ok. I'm more fussed about using good looking apps and having nice homescreens rather than themed settings menus and notification themed toggles lol
Alright, might give it a go then. ust a shame with Resurrection which is quite nice. But battery friendly is top of the priority list.
I disabled (pre upgrade to ICS) with the *#301279# code, and still got 6,6 mpbs speed on data. Which is actually about 150kbps more than I got with H/H+. ;p
Oh, and thanks to everyone!
^^ I can't give a step-by-step since I'm not running neither your ROM, nor ICS...
While in the 4636 menu, hit the button and start advanced task manager, or just hit the button again. You will then see the name of the (wrapper) application that you was accessing using that code. When you find the correct app that was running, go to ADB root shell and search for the app with something like (using that name, of course):
Code:
find / -iname "*ServiceMenu*"
Next use your, Titanium Backup, or whatever to find and copy that app to your new system... (Oh, yeah, obviously you would need to reflash your old ROM or find someone who has the old one...) Then cross your fingers and hope it works!
Thanks fella, but I ended up flashing WanamLite and just doing the code.
Now I just need to either find an sms app for ICS, or where I can select phone numbers only to show so I don't keep sending mms to email in stead of phones.
I was wondering the same thing. When my phone is on 3G, websites never load for me, they just sit there, half loaded. But as soon as it switches over to H, not H+ (never got it), they load automatically. I'm on Tesco Mobile but they use the O2 network. Is it a phone issue or a carrier issue?
Chris.
Well I'm on a Norwegian carrier, and in forums here I see loads having same issue. But a few with HTC phones as well, so perhaps an Android issue?
Anyway, what works for me is disabling H/H+ with the code *#301279#. As I get good speeds on data anyway as 3g then works like a charm. Or I did on my previous ROM Resurrection, on WanamLite I'm not so sure. Very slow ping.

I've noticed that my speeds suffer when I set 3g only. Feels more like 3 are doing it though. For example, I can get 600KB/s using 3g and roughly the same on H/H+. After a few hours though my 3g connection sits at around 45-70KB/s. As soon as I switch to H/H+ it bumps back to 600KB/s+ again. What's odd is that if I then go BACK to 3g only it maintains fast data for a few hours.........then back to under 80KB/s. Really weird
I just tested and I gave the wrong info.
If I disable both HSDPA and HSUPA in the *#301279# code I get 3g with about 360 KBPS download according to a "speedometer", but if I activate HSDPA, but _NOT_ HSUPA, I still get 3g showing in my status bar, but the speed test gave me 7,33 MBPS download! So might want to test that. It still gives me stable data!

The Gps bug affects all stock Xperia 2011 phones.
The bug is simple, i explain it better then possible:
i turn on the Gps, wait for a fix, and start to navigate, after 5 minutes the signal drops for about 30 seconds, then works for other 5 minutes and again drops, other 5 minutes and drops, and again again again
every 5 minutes the gps drops without exceptions
now the datas collected in months of this problem:
1) this happens with traffic data OFF, background data OFF, absolutely no contact to the network at all, and offline app like Sygic, Navigon, Copilot etc
2) this not happen with Maps, also in offline mode, with a little portion of map downloaded before, and no data traffic
3) this not happen with Data enabled or Wifi enabled
4) this also not happen in Flight mode, and perhaps it is the most important information, so is not an hardware problem.
5) with the build 3.0.1.A.145 this didn't happen with data disabled !
Here a log of the bug by a user with the same problem.

What do we think about? :
for an unknown reason Sony firmware attempts to collect data every 5 minutes, also if the phone have data disabled. If don't find data, there is a drop out !!
Basically A-gps works always, even if data are disabled (i have no data traffic, my sim is disabled for internet connection), and this must not happen, because it causes a drop, its attempt is not silent for who have data OFF.
P.s OFF topic replies will not be tolerated more.
This thread is for share real problem, confirmed by Sony itself.
If you don't see the bug, is better for you, but please don't discridit these words.

I hope you tried at Arc forum. Maybe you will have better luck.
Just one question though, have you tried ICS beta? Maybe they solved problem there, so it will be available when ICS comes.
A SW developer on talk.sonymobile says:
"I can now confirm that my fix will be included in the ICS update.
Since the problem occurs because the phone tries to connect to a server to download satellite orbit information there are there are three things you can do until you've got the ICS update:
- Download assistance data while connected to a Wi-Fi network. You can do that by installing the "XtraData Downloader" from Android Market. While on a Wi-Fi network press the "Download XTRA data immediately" button. Do this right before leaving the network since the data is only usable for a limited amount of time.
- Make sure that the signal conditions are good while using the GPS receiver. It will only try to connect to the server until it has successfully decoded the information from the satellites. If using the GPS indoors or while driving in a city the satellite signals will be too weak, but if using the GPS in conditions where the signals are not obstructed by buildings the connection attempts should stop after about 20 minutes when the information has been decoded.
- Activate the data connection (I understand that this is probably not a reasonable solution for you)."
We just have to wait ICS

You don't need to. You can just ask someone who is still using stock ICS beta, for example in official xda thread for ICS beta: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513172
Although I don't know if that bug is only on Neo or on Arc also, but I guess you know that
New demo video add in first post.
very embarassed bug, not expected from Sony
and also 6 months of wait
Inconceivable !!!
Not a problem I have... but then again, I use data. Because I can.
Have you searched this out? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250226
As for "Sony" being somehow bad, I suggest you try the Taiwanese or Korean brands and then comment. The "bug" is largely a Google/Android issue. Apparently.
Why don't you simply sell the phone and buy something that actually suits your needs? I'm not being anyway sarcastic, but that's what I would do... particularly as you have had this problem for ages and received no insight from any of the umpteen posts you have made.
The bug is "by Sony" in this case, because was introduced with the new firmwares.
When i bought the phone the Gps worked perfectly, or i would have return the phone to my local shop.
Now change it with Samsung or Htc, have no sense, i will lose 50% of the real price, for a problem introduced by Sony itself !
When you say "the bug is an adroid issue", you mean this Gps bug, or the generic world of bugs?
I never saw a Gps bug like this in any android phone.
I searched that discussion, and i wait for a reply by Crypted, the author.

I don't understand the first part of your reply, sorry, but my english is not too colloquial.
About the second part, my firmware is absolutely stock and not rooted, without change in the system.
4.0.2.A.0.62. The bug was introduced since the first 4.0 firmware, with the old 3.0 one was perfect. But i don't want to downgrade, old firmwares weren't so good and there is a lack of important features.
Actually i use Sygic gps navigation.
I repeat it: is not an app problem, but a system one, a real bug.
My firmware is appropriate for my region, it is that correct.

Yes, good feature, but useless if the Gps drops continuosly.
I am having a peculiar problem since last 20-25 days. In home network, after some time of inactivity, my phone network stops working. I can see full network range on screen and H+ access but neither can I make calls nor use Data. I have to restart the phone to get it going again. When I go to roaming, this problem disappears.
I restored the phone to factory settings to negate a possibility of my OS going corrupt. But now the problem has started again.

When I asked him to log a service request he suggested that I keep settings for network search on manual. When I protested he finally locked call. But don't know what he had typed in the call lock. Anyway. Will changing the sim card help

I really doubt changing the sim will help. If you can, go to the store in person & keep insisting that it's nothing to do with your APN. If you can, show him the problem, not just tell him what happens. Ie, take the phone when it won't connect at all. Then restart the phone & show him it works.

I tried something tonight. In network mode, i selected GSM only and the network didnt go off. even edge service is running properly
The problem happens when the phone is in GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode)
I confirmed this again twice, thrice. If I keep the phone in GSM only mode, no network issues. All steady. If I move to GSM/WCDMA (Auto) mode, after a period of inactivity(cannot quantify) the phone shows full bars and 3G symbol, but no data can be interchanged or calls received/made. I have to restart the phone to access network again in that mode.
This happens only at my home(so i assume only on one tower)
Go talk to the network provider
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Already done that. They have not taken action. I Don't expect this problem to be solved by the technologically challenged customer care team of Vodafone in India.
upon further investigation I found on the Internet that this problem happens when network provider is upgrading from a lower to higher technology which uses different spectrum. The solution is to access *#*#4636#*#* and change default mode to gsm auto (prl) mode which will ensure that it will prefer gsm over wcdma but jump to wcdma when a minimum signal threshold is achieved. Sadly I am unable to access that menu since Samsung must have disabled it.
Any solution to that?

Hey Guys,
I bought this phone a little while ago on Verizon, from a Verizon store. I'm one of the lucky few that was able to unlock it before their OTAs ruined life.
I'm running Clockwork touch, and it's been rom'd with a few different roms in its lifetime.
However, I've switched carriers and have run into an issue. I can text and make calls just fine, but when I try to hang up the dialer, it hangs and never finishes hanging up. It just sits there, still connected, and says "Hanging Up". The only other issue I have is that I never receive a call. When someone calls in, it rings normally, but the phone never brings up the incoming call screen.
Which leads me to believe that it's a radio firmware issue.
1: Is this correct?
2: How can I fix this? I have T-Mobile now, and have a good piece of hardware (that's totally unlocked and rooted). I'd really like to be able to continue using it.

If I'm not mistaken, the Verizon S4 lacks some of the radio bands that the T-Mobile version would have. This doesn't explain the weird no-hanging-up issue you're seeing though. What "baseband" version do you see when you go to settings->about phone->baseband

Flashed both modems, and same issues (though the random crasshes I was seeing of services/keyboard etc have disappeared now). I flashed a random NC2 rom, and everything worked as expected (dialer, etc) but it was full of the stock UI from Samsung. Not certain if that helps to narrow things down. I've been testing with the CM11 nightly from May 6
Below is a screenshot of what happens.. it literally just freezes at the "Hanging Up..." screen. None of the other buttons on the bottom row (dialer, mute, etc) are responsive, either. I never get an incoming call, either, despite it ringing from the other end/going to voicemail after the ring timeout.

Flashed both modems, and same issues (though the random crasshes I was seeing of services/keyboard etc have disappeared now). I flashed a random NC2 rom, and everything worked as expected (dialer, etc) but it was full of the stock UI from Samsung. Not certain if that helps to narrow things down. I've been testing with the CM11 nightly from May 6
Below is a screenshot of what happens.. it literally just freezes at the "Hanging Up..." screen. None of the other buttons on the bottom row (dialer, mute, etc) are responsive, either. I never get an incoming call, either, despite it ringing from the other end/going to voicemail after the ring timeout.

If a stock rom worked, you might try the GPE rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643031

Dialer works again. But now I have no data. Network types are set correctly (as are RUIM/SIM, etc)
Thoughts as to what might be causing this? :C I'm working to get a logcat / hoping it might shed some light.

Check your APN settings, it should be on one named "LTE - Verizon Internet" (VZWINTERNET).

You sir, are awesome. Did the trick. Had to do a little digging to find the right APN settings (had to add it in manually - deff. didn't want Verizon settings), but it's working great now.
Still can't come up with a reason the dialer was pooping...
Q&A for Samsung Galaxy Light SGH-T399 Discussion and Development
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
LTE on ATT?
Has anyone experienced LTE connectivity on the ATT network? Using LTE Discovery, I have still yet to connect to LTE — only HSDPA+.
I tried doing some research on interoperability, but I'm still not even sure it SHOULD work on ATT LTE. Can anyone shed some light on this?
From ATT:
• 3G UMTS network 850/1900MHz bands
• 4G LTE network AWS / 700 / 850 / 1900MHz bands
From GSM arena on the T399:
GENERAL 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 13 / 1700 / 2100
Even though the T399 is capable on bands 850, 1900, and 700 (although I believe ATT uses the non interoperable class 17), are those frequencies not usable on LTE? Is that a limitation of the radio chip?
Unable to update, sim card not working since I tried
I just tried to update it a few times, after the reboot when it's applying the update, it fails at around 25%. Is there another way I can get Kitkat? I'm guessing it's not working because the update detects if the phone is rooted or something. Updating via Kies doesn't work, so I reverted to a backup I had in TWRP. Also, ever since I tried to update, Android has been deciding to not use my sim card (ie. no 'insert sim' notification, but when I go to settings -> more networks -> mobile networks it says 'Insert sim card to use mobile networks.') I kind of need my phone (for obvious reasons) - and if it's for calling I am willing to restore to stock (preferebly newer) firmware, even if unrooted...

LightWave is really the only "custom" ROM so far. It's stock, but debloated and optimized. However, development has (at least temporarily) ended, as its creator is currently working on porting CyanogenMod to this phone, which'll be fantastic if it can get up and running.
In the meantime, best thing would be to use a custom launcher like Nova to change how your home screens and app drawer look, and to root (if you haven't already) and install the Xposed framework (if you haven't already), and check out the Wanam module (and others), which'll allow you to enable certain features and clean up your notification panel and status bar from excessive icons and notifications.
I agree, check out Xposed and Wanam, and also the Aviate launcher recently acquired by Yahoo. It's the most organized launcher I've tried out of many though the years. Xposed and Wanam are the next best thing to Cyanogenmod, for Touchwiz stock Roms, imho...
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------
Also, if you install Home2Shortcut from Google Play and disable Samsung S-Voice, you can configure your home button double tap to open Google Now and "ok, google" with two home taps, or anything else you want for that matter.
Simple instructions, please, for installing LightWave, etc.!
I would like to install LightWave, TWRP, and any essential related software on my T399N. Any extras can wait. I'm not using this phone with my MetroPCS service yet, but I have used it just a bit with Wi-Fi, particularly to set up my new Chromecast box.,
I skimmed the posts in the developer thread on this and was confused about what to do first, and how to do it. (I presume I'll have to use adb for part of it, and I did manage to find out how to get the phone to work with adb.) A couple of years ago, when I was first coming to this site, I probably could have figured it out from that thread, but my brain seems to be deteriorating rapidly as it nears the completion of 3/4 of a century of existence. It could also be my insomnia, that may or may not be age-related, and, last but not least, the new, cluttered, presumably more advertiser-friendly, interface that has replaced the old user-friendly interface that I think I remember from this site.
Anyway, can anyone just list the steps to accomplish the basic installation I'm talking about?
Also, is there any reason to be concerned about the update that Samsung and T-Mobile/MetroPCS have just sent me today?
I tried to look for the update for the T-MOBILE version and there was nothing for that version sadly
I need to go to T-Mobile and see how much it would cost to get my screen fixed

Urgent Questions: Recovery After Root & Safe Apps to Uninstall
Hello everyone. I have some questions for anyone who can help.
1. Can I install a custom recovery AFTER obtaining root on my Samsung Galaxy Light SGH-T399 phone? I have root access via @shabbypenguin's pre-rooted stock rom and I'm on NE4.
2. Also, should I use CWM or TWRP? Which one will be more simple for me to use and understand? Which one will allow me to make better, complete nandroid backups and restorations?
3. Which apps can I safely uninstall?
Thanks.

metro t399n tethering issues
So this is my third android from metro. Others were a Huawei Premia 4g and a galaxy exhibit. I was able to tether on both without root using the stock android hotspot. My computer runs Linux so user agent string filtering wasn't an issue. Now that I have this light, it seems tethering has become very locked down. At first I couldn't even turn the hotspot on. I thought that might change if I rooted, so I used shabbypenguins guide and twrp to root. That alone didn't get the hotspot running. I ended up installing xposed frameworks and the xtether module... behold! The hotspot would turn on! However, my pc's browser would redirect me to the T-Mobile upsell page. Freaked out worrying they finally added Linux to the list of user agents to block. To verify, I tethered my exhibit to the light and tried to get online.... upsell sight again. I know they aren't blocking this with user agent strings, it's gotta be something in the apks. used titanium backup to remove tethering provisions and tethering automation but didn't work. I've now gone through a dozen tethering apps off the play store both utilizing root and not. None of them will get me off the upsell redirect page. It looks like cm12 is still not quite there for the light so I don't want to go custom Rom just yet. Does anyone know how to fix this in the stock Rom?
@mjbrady83
I use WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso on my Galaxy Light without issue, but I also have T-Mobile with a 5gb tethering plan built-in, so I don't know if that makes any difference.
Here's a good guide:

Help with Galaxy Light
Hi I have a Galaxy Light SGH-T399 and I flash the stock rom for this phone (T399UVUAMJ4_T399TMBAMJ4_TMB) all good until a load for first time he ask de pin number but he is keeping searching network and dont connect never with the network. When I go to make a phone call he said "no registrado en la red" or not registered in network. I read a few post in some forums and dont find any solution. Please anyone can help. I try some methods like:
1- put in airplane mode and out some time
2- pull out the sim card and put in again
3- remove sim card and battery for 5 min
4- wipe data/factory reset
Please I need help I dont have any other phone, I live in Cuba and the resourses here is very limited.
Regards Michel.

I can't say for certain, but it appears to me that the phone is carrier locked. You might be able to get T-Mobile to unlock it, or get an unlock code off eBay or one of those websites that sells them, but I have no idea how you would go about doing this, you being in Cuba and all...
Custom Kernel?
I guess this is the most relevant place to post this...
I was wondering if anyone was willing to make a custom kernel for this phone. I have no experience with this sort of thing so I'm just asking...
Anyways I really love this little phone. It's so dirt cheap now a days (Like $50 on eBay) and I think it's an excellent phone.
I just think it's missing a couple of things that could be added in a custom kernel.
1. Wolfson Control
This device does in fact have a Wolfson WM1811 DAC (Like the International S3 and Note II).
You can bump up the volume in default_gain.conf but actual Wolfson Control would be much better as you could change the analog volume on the fly and enable some of the important DAC features to improve sound quality, especially the hardware Equalizer and some of the other settings. See screenshots

}
2. Button Light Notifications
One thing that really bothers me about this phone is a lack of a notification LED...
Back when I had an original Galaxy Note it also had this problem, and lots of kernels implemented a way for the Menu/Back button LEDs to act as your notification LED. It was wonderful and I think this device really could use it!
I guess besides that overclocking and maybe if enabling USB OTG would be pretty cool!
Anyways If anyone experienced in making a custom kernel is interested I would be more than happy to help in whatever way possible!
Thanks.

I have a very odd issue, if I connect to wifi, I can search the internet just fine but I cannot make phone calls or get text messages. Sometimes the texts will go through and other times it gives an error. I went through all of the network settings but cannot find the culprit, does any one know what I am missing???
Thanks

I'm having issues with calls being dropped and messages not being sent when on Wi-Fi. Changing wifi calling preference does nothing. Turning wifi calling off does nothing. I turn wifi off and calls and messages are fine. Doesn't happen all of the time though. So not sure what's going on.

Did you disable Mobile Data Always Active under Developer Options?
Though I'm not sure that would be the culprit as I have it disabled, but don't suffer the problems you're experiencing. So I guess this wasn't really helpful. I apologize.
Or maybe you should? And perhaps that will fix it? If it doesn't then I apologize again.

That is pretty odd.
Been having connection issues since day 1. Changing different settings has worked for periods of time but nothing seems permanent. I have to cycle airplane mode to fix it every time to fix.
Was reading up on other sites and this is wide spread enough to find posts about it all over. Haven't seen anything to pinpoint why it happens or who is effected. Best I've found is that it may have something to do with when the phone switches to 5gUC and then off. But mine switches on and off of that relatively often and it doesn't do it every time. Though it does seem to do it if I'm on Wi-Fi and it's flipping to a good 5G signal to a not good one. So maybe it's when both radios are active.
Oh and I'm on TMobile, Swapped from Sprint sim.
Oh one more theory... I keep seeing messages from Sprint / T-Mobile about switching to the T-Mobile network. But I am currently using a T-Mobile SIN. These aren't generic messages. Messages they're geared directly to specific lines on my account, including . Now I don't know if somehow I could be on a T-Mobile SIM and still on the Sprint network, because that goes against a lot of stuff. Stuff I know regarding how the networks are being operated but I am a little out of the loop so I guess it could just be roaming back and forth or something And they had set something up at the tower so that you don't even see it do such. But anyway, if this weird theory were true, maybe that's the only people that it's affecting.
I'm sure that you set the default APN to Tmobile, right? My coworker was using a sprint sim and after getting another sim from Tmobile, her phone works fine. Of course, she doesn't have a pixel 6 so it could be something with the device. I love my P6 but there are some quirks. About to try this ArmorSuit skin screen protector later today as the hard ones do not register fingerprints.
Yep, unfortunately all apns are set correctly (or as far as I know). I have both the TMobile and TMobile mms apns that auto generated with the activation.

Sounds then like its using VOLTE and the inactive data is not properly selective.
Actually the issue came back so I just turn off wifi.
