Nope. I did it with no problem. Kept unlimited. I've had it ever since the update came out on root.
Never got to use it as I don't know anyone with a phone that's VoLTE capable. :good:

No issues here. It is just a free feature that needs to be activated on VZW website.

Nope. Enabled and disabled it probably 10 times now via their webpage due to VoLTE not working with Google Voice. Still have unlimited data, but dropped this service because it still doesn't work properly with Google Voice.

How is it failing with Google voice?

Some bug in the VoLTE system. It doesn't seem to affect everyone. But on a lot of people's accounts (even different phones) the call forwarding is somehow messed up and just goes to a busy signal with VoLTE instead of Google Voice. I didn't notice for several weeks until someone told me my voicemail wasn't working.
Before someone chimes in and says enabling VoLTE resets call forwarding, I know and it still doesn't' work for many of us. Verizon doesn't care since they offer a paid version of visual voicemail and offer little help.

Call forwarding to Google voice is working fine for some and not others. It works fine for me. I believe I read somebody disabled call forwarding and reenabled it and it started working for them

[Q] WiFi Calling on the Vibrant

With the G2 and now the mytouch 4G having wifi calling, has anyone got a hold of their apk and ported it to the vibrant??? I could use wifi calling in my house as my tmobile 3G reception is dead when I'm inside. Many thanks.
Search bro! But some peter are working on getting this on our phones. We will have it soon enough

The issues with the app appear kernel related, which means we'll likely be at the mercy of source releases unless someone gets very lucky. If it's any consolation people are having issues getting it to work on the G2...
Most likely by the time it's "fixed" for the G2, and the MT4G is actually available the solution will be imminent.

it works in the rom leak for the N1 too,if anyone wants to try porting it. it's the MT4g rom ported to the nexus,it's in their android development section.
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by WiFi calling (VOIP, SIP or something completely new and/or different all together) but Skype now works using the JP* Froyo builds out there. The only thing is it restricts you to WiFi only if it detects that you're in the US.
I hope that helps.

This is kind of like the wifi calling that Blackberrys have but different. Say you are out of a network area maybe out of country or in my wife's case at work in a hospital if you have wifi access then this app will allow you to make calls over TMobiles network using your plan minutes. This is not free calling nor will you be able to switch back and forth. If you are on a call using the wifi app and you leave the range of the wifi signal your call will be dropped.
There is another thread in Themes and Apps that has the apk. I have it on my vibrant but I don't think TMobile has released it fully, kind of like Media Hub was at first, so right now I haven't heard that it's operational for anyone with any phone.
Oh and I've heard people spreading rumors that you'll have to pay 9.99 a month but according to tmobile's website it will be free as you will be using your own minutes. Here is a link to the official tmobile Wifi cslling Faqs page http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm24195.xml

VoIP using Google Voice+Sipgate+SipDroid
So if you want to do free VoIP calling (not using your T-mobile voice minutes) within the USA you
1) Get a Google Voice account (if you don't already have it)
2) Get a free Sipgate account (gives you a phone number that can be called)
3) Get SipDroid to conenct to your Sipgate account
This is what you do
Setup your Sipgate account.
Install Sipdroid to your phone and connect to Sipgate
- set your Sipdroid to only be on when you are on WiFi
Setup your google voice to forward to your Sipgate phone number
When you make outgoing phone calls use your google voice
Voila! You now have unlimited incoming and outgoing phonecalls through GoogleVoice and Sipgate over your WiFi.
Technically you could do this over 3G as well. Not sure how the quality is though.

Is that free outgoing minutes? If you utilize Google Voice what happens is that Google Voice first calls your Sipgate account and then calls the person you call. Which means that your call with be an incoming, which makes it free. You have to utilize Google Voice for this however to work properly.

Cant send txt messages

Hello, after updating my VRZ SG4 to the 5.0.1 lolipop i can't send txt messages. Everything else works fine,i can receive txt but cant send it.
Is there anything i can do to fix this proble. I am using my phone with different carrier,not verizon.
Thank you in advance.

The issue has to do with 4G/LTE. If the phone is in any other mode (3G, H+, etc...) the texts send. There is something goofy with the 4G/LTE.
Hmm, but the texts worked when the phone was on kit kat???
Im having a similar issue with incoming and outgoing calls not working even with full 4G. I can send/receive text messages and use Internet. I've been through two Sim cards and it hasn't fixed the issue. Has been doing this for 3 weeks now.
I'm having this issue, is there a work around for the texts?
just found out a workaround ... download app called Advance Signal Status from play store, and change your Network setting in the app to WCDMA ... everything should work. I know you will not get LTE, but H+ is good enough for speeds, atleast for tmobile.

outgoing calls not ringing

I have noticed that when I place a call, I do not hear any ringing. I see a connecting message in the wailer & then I hear the persons voice when they pick up. Only had the phone about 3 weeks. Not sure if it is new or always done this. Kind of annoying. Any ideas? Thanks.

Don't bother. I tried it a few times and it did no good.. The only thing that worked was to disable the VOLTE. Hopefully we'll get 1 more update on this.. either MM 6.0.1 or Android N .

Hey all, I believe this is actually an issue with the new version of Google search, specifically if you have the in app voice search function enabled.
Go into Google, voice search and disable the in app option. Worked for me. I did not have to change any other settings.
I tried disabling google voice only but it didn't fix it. I disabled Voice Over LTE and WIFI calling and it fixed it.
I was just getting the same thing on my Verizon Samsung S9. Toggled "Advanced calling" (turned it off and then back on agin) and the ringing on outbound calls is back. I like that a lot better as opposed to calling into the abyss. I can hear that the call connected and is progressing.

Question That pesky visual voicemail problem with Google Phone

I suppose this could have been posted anywhere in XDA but since I just got a Pixel 6 I though I'd start here.
I'm using Mint Mobile and it's all good except visual voicemail in Google's Phone app won't activate. The My Visual Voicemail app activates and works fine. Calling voicemail works fine too.
The problem seems common for OnePlus users on T-Mobile's network but it's evident this is an old problem between lots of devices and carriers. And oddly, it seems to work or not under random conditions. When I sampled a Pixel 5a for a couple weeks using the same SIM, visual voicemail in the Phone app worked straight away and transcribed accurately.
So that nobody here wastes their time with suggestions, I've researched the problem and have probably already tried the most common suggestions short of factory reset. The only thing Mint Mobile can offer is resetting voicemail for a clean slate, which didn't help. Prior to that, network resets, clearing cache and data in both the Phone and My Visual Voicemail apps, rolling back the Phone app, many reboots and power downs... Whatever is tried I get the dreaded "Visual voicemail isn't working" error with or without My Visual Voicemail installed and activated.
I really like this feature in Google Phone when it works. I'm ok with moving on to an alternative like Google Voice for transcribed voicemail but I'm hard headed about getting something to work as designed. If anybody has figured this out I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks!

I'm confused. Are you saying you don't have any vvm apps installed already? If you do just humor me and try to remove all voicemail apps again and try Google dialer after. I had the same issue and for the life of me could not figure out how to use Google vvm, & it finally worked after all voicemail apps were uninstalled
Im on Tello mvo off t-mobile same thing T-mobiles app works but who want more 3rd party apps , googles never worked not on a pixel phone but its a common problem Ive flashed many roms currently on Arrow12 poco f-3 but it never worked on stock and all other roms ivied flashed so I just call VM its the best solution so far

No third party vvm or vm apps separate from Google Phone are installed. Whenever a vvm app was installed it was temporary. I understand that no other voicemail apps should be installed while using Google Phone's vvm.
First I tried getting Google Phone's vvm to activate. It never did after lots of trouble shooting (cleared storage in Phone, reset networks, rolled back Phone etc.). I installed My Visual Voicemail just to make sure it would activate. It does activate and works as expected. Knowing Mint's voicemail works fine with this app and probably others, and that calling voicemail works, focus is on Google Phone and/or the phone network.
The part that really peeves me is that Google Phone's vvm worked great on a Pixel 5a recently with the same SIM.

VVM works fine on Tello on my 3 XL. I just had to turn off wifi before I enabled the VVM switch, it wouldn't provision with wifi.
Wasnt working for me either. I decided to uninstall TMobile vvm and try it again and now the Google one is working. Maybe January fixed it for me.
I have RedPocket on AT&T's network. When I had the OnePlus 7t I had the same VVM issues the OP described. They reset stuff on my account & SIM with no luck. It had worked fine on the Pixel 3 I had before and it's working fine on the Pixel 6 I have now. It's probably as much a OnePlus problem then anything.

I read about trying this but in my case it didn't help.
I notice Mint Mobile's store recently added the Pixel 5a to their offerings but not the 6, yet. This has me wondering if there's a provisioning issue on the carrier side.
However, Mint customers in recent reddit posts describe a mixed bag that show no pattern at all. For some Pixel 6 users Google's vvm works but not for others.

Does the phone recognize your Mint SIM as being T-Mobile? I know that has caused problems before.
Honestly the MVNO situation with iPhone, Samsung, and Pixel can be really messy. My 12 Pro Max still doesn't get 5G on most T-Mobile MVNOs because T-Mobile moved them to new SIM cards that the T-Mobile bundle doesn't recognize (8901240 instead of T-Mobile's 8901260) and I've seen a wide range of complaints about MVNOs not working right on Pixels. I think it was Red Pocket that was being seen as "zipsim" or something on Pixels and broke a lot of features.
Buddy of mine got a 6 and he reported that Tello's VVM does not work so yeah, I guess I'll find out when I buy my 6 or 6 Pro in a few months.

Have you tried activating it over mobile data?
I switch phones a lot and have had your issue several times, most recently on my pixel 6. Disabling wifi while I opened the voicemail got it working, and it has in the past as well. (Might want to force stop and clear data and etc, maybe a reboot, then try on mobile data only.)
EtherealRemnant said:

No, it's recognized as Mint in network settings plus the voicemail number that was setup is Mint's. The APN that's automatically configured is T-Mobile's but switching to Mint's wholesale APN makes no difference.
Doesn't mean you're not onto something. One difference between the Pixel 6 and 5a setups (again, Google's vvm worked on the 5a) is that Play Store installed a T-Mobile app on the Pixel 6 on its first day. I didn't think much of it until I saw a T-Mobile option under Default apps settings. Can't remember what that setting was but it didn't seem related to voicemail. When I uninstalled this app the setting under Default apps disappeard. Which was a relief because for a moment I broke out in a sweat thinking the T-Mobile model was shipped. I verified my phone is the unlocked model.
Over the weekend I may unlock the bootloader and root. Maybe wiping will make a difference.
Btw, Mint does in fact sell the Pixel 6, they're just out of stock.

Yes, many times usually connected to 5G. Tried setting LTE as the preference too.
I'm resigning myself to an alternative like Google Voice or Youmail. A friend with a OnePlus 8T TMO variant has never gotten native vvm to work with T-Mobile's network. His unanswered calls go to Google Voice and the Phone app's vvm works well with it.

Thanks for chiming in. Parts of that subreddit are informative while most of it repeats other articles I've seen. It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle but one thing is certain: if T-Mobile boffins can't figure it out no point in asking Mint about it unless we want the usual "Don't support it" or "Can't guarantee it" nonsense.
Interesting that there's a Mint voicemail number (18056377243) different than the one assigned by my Mint SIM (18056377456). We could try different numbers but the setting is greyed out in the Phone app. Changing the number would require removing the SIM to make the field editable but it'll probably revert back to the original number when the SIM reconnects.

Thanks for chiming in. Parts of that subreddit are informative while most of it repeats other articles I've seen.

Just FYI, the one Tello uses where my VVM works on my 3 XL is the same as Mint is using.
At this point it seems like an issue specific to 6/6 Pro because I have confirmation of VVM working on T-Mobile MVNOs with 3/4/5 and two people I know could not get it working on 6/6 Pro, both with Tello, who had it working on their last Pixel.

I don't think that's the case and for some Pixel 6 users it's working. There's no logical pattern except that OnePlus models on T-Mobile's network stand out the most. AT&T and Verizon customers have reported the issue too.
