Hey guys, I have a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) that I'm using on Metro PCS and whenever I connect to wifi I can't receive mms messages. I will get the text and it will ask me to download the image but then I get a never ending progress bar. So then I'll turn off WiFi and I will have bars but the 4G LTE indicator will be gone and the only way to get it back is to reboot the phone. Any ideas as to what this could be? I have tried using both the T-Mobile & Metro PCS APN settings but the issue still happens no mattter which APN the phone is set to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

No ROM, it's stock.
wifi calling enabled and set to only make calls on wifi?
This will happen when you have wifi calling enabled. That is why you see the cell signal bars go gray or grayed out. Turn off wifi calling and you will see you signal bars come back, as long as you have cell signal (service) at your house.

Having WiFi calling enabled won't affect your data and messaging at all unless there is a connection issue with the router.

It sounds like a connectivity issue on the routers side if the APNs are correct. I would go back to Metro PCS APNs then check your signal strenth and link speed in the phones WiFi settings, then check to make sure WiFi calling does not display an error in the call settings. If all 3 are good then check your client list on router and make sure phones IP address and MAC id is there. If IP and MAC id are good run diag log on router and possibly change/test different wireless channels on your router.
I never have WiFi calling enabled so I don't see that as a cause, and I have tried both the MetroPCS and T-Mobile APN settings and it still happens. I'm still able to receive calls and send text messages but I can't receive MMS messages or access data. The only way to fix the issue is to turn on airplane mode for about 10 seconds and then turn it off and I get the 4GLTE signal indicator back along with full service. Its really weird because when this happens, I still have a signal indicator with 3-4 bars but the only the 4GLTE indicator disappears.

I will get the same issue as stated above. When you have bars present with no data icon, its because your phone is latching on to another network when MetroPCS is not to be found. At my office, T-Mobile service is the pits, yet i get bars present. I usually open the dialer and type *#0011# and it will show what band your phone is picking up, from there you can tell if you are really on MetroPCS or someone elses network.
Does anyone have the same issue where your carrier has LTE but doesn't support VoLTE for E2303,2353,2306 etc variants and ur phone shows 'Mobile Network Unavailable' when u are on LTE and trying to call someone else?
No, drop from LTE to 2G/3G works fine here when I try to call someone.
Although Voda says Poco F1 does not support Voda Volte , it works although with problems for me.
No issues with outgoing calls, 4g keeps on working, hd call displayed when calling another Volte enabled number.
Incoming calls do not work on Volte and network switches to 3g/2g when calls come.
Anybody else having this issue or using Voda india and mention their experience.
No, not found any issues with 4g network either, i am able to recive calls on 4g networks in gujrat. For confirmation use 4g switcher app and manually select lte inly.

4g is working fine. I meant Volte. Incoming calls switch over to 3g/2g network whereas outgoing continues with 4g
Run the below code in your dialer app manually. You should see a message stating "Volte Carrier check disable" else run the code again.
After 30 seconds your volte network should be retored. Pull down the notification bar to check for the volte symbol.
*#*#86583#*#*
Cheers!!
Just wanted to share my experience with WiFi Calling. I am in the US on T-Mobile and WiFi calling has been working for me surprisingly. VoLTE has also been working wonderfully. I've tested this on a Global Mi 9 running Stock and the Xiaomi.eu rom.
Enter these codes into the Dialer to enable the options in Settings. (Settings < SIM Cards & mobile networks < Sim Card Settings < VoLTE Enabled/Make Calls using WLAN)
VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*
VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#*
Things should work after you enable the two options. This depends on whether or not your carrier supports it and your e911 address set (US only?).
Some issues you might run into is that the option for Network Preference is greyed out and you will unable to change that option. I've had some success if you disable it and re-enable it and click on that option really fast, it will go through. When you first enable VoWiFi, it is important that you get into this menu and change it to WiFi preferred or WiFi Calling won't work.
UPDATE:
Manually creating your carrier APN worked great for me. Been testing it for about 2 weeks and I haven't had any issues with VoLTE/VoWiFi. For example, for me on T-Mobile, I created a new one with the following settings. The important part I'm guessing is the APN type. Also make sure that your carrier has enabled WiFi Calling on their end as well.
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMC : 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,ims,cbs
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
On a side note, since you're on T-Mobile US, are you getting LTE+? I was showing LTE+ on my Mix 2S and Mi 8, but doesn't show up on my Mi 9.
Can verify, works with Chinese Mi 9 8GB 128GB version. I'm also on T-Mobile. Now there is "HD" written on the signal icon.

It does when I'm outside. RN it isn't showing tho, I'm in the basement. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before when I'm on the bus or something
Also works in Netherlands with Vodafone

It just randomly loses WiFi Calling. To solve this, I've been keeping my phone airplane mode with WiFi on and haven't experienced any type of disruption of service. Calls sounds great.

Worked like a charm on Romania's Orange network. Both VoLTE and VoWiFi seem to work well.
Thank you for the tip.

I don't know if it helps, but in Romania on Orange I have 4G+ almost all the time while on my old Oneplus 5T I didn't...

It's a carrier specific option. So go to phone-> settings-> Sim cards &.....-> Orange and should be the last two options.
Hmm...I've activated both too but only get the volte option, no wifi calling toggle switch. Tmobile USA running no root, stock miui 10.2.3. Did anyone on tmobile USA get wifi calling to work? Also, if you did, does it also activate wifi texting?
Update: guessing the volte doesn't require a restart but wifi calling requires a restart. To those who run into the same prob as me.
Ídem here, no volte options, my carrier support it and works on a s7 edge, any ideas?

After update to Miui 10.2..24.0 options for VoLTE and VoWIFI appears in menu and i can activate both.
unlike you, since the last update 10.2.24.0 I lost the option volte/vowifi, when I try to reactivate it, the phone tell me it's enabled for the SIM 2 but I have no sim two,
if i swap the sim card it tell me activated for the sim 1 ...
Same here, after the new update 10.2.24.0 i have the same message like you.

I activated volte and wifi calling, but when I go on flight mode and activate wifi, wifi calling is not working and there is no sign in status bar too. I am Vodafone Germany and on my Samsung it was working.
How did you get it working?

Did a quick test on mine (T-Mobile/Germany) and it's working. I just used the dial-codes and enabled wifi calling. Had to change the preferred connection type to wifi-prio though - wasn''t working with cellular-prio and flight mode before.
It works!

Download a signal app from the Play Store and make a phone call. If you still have 4G when making the call Volte is working. If the signal drops to 3G after the call connects Volte is not working.

I did It and volte is not working...
I have a Mi 9 global version running the latest stable global Room. I'm trying to turn VOLTE on, but I'm nota being sucessfully.
I've tried enable It via MCC code (*#*#4636#*#*) but It doesnt work. The option to enable VOLTE os greyed out.
How can I enable It? My old s7 suport VOLTE with the same sim card.
So i got my Mi 8 Pro yesterday (Global Version). The one feature I cannot seem to activate is Wifi Calling, I have done both the *#*#86583#*#* (voLTE) and *#*#869434#*#* (voWIFI), both options are enabled in *#*#4636#*#* and when i go into my sim settings both VoLTE and Wifi Calling are enabled
voLTE shows the symbol in my task bar however wifi calling never seems to enable? Is there some other setting I am missing or do I need to get EE to disable and re-enable it on my account since I've swapped phones? It's vital for me as I work in a lot of places without cell reception so i rely on wifi calling.
Any help is appreciated

Hello, my friend is also like you, he is the development version of WiFi can not be used but the stable version of the MIUI system can be used. You can try to re-wire the stable version of the MIUI system, I wish you good luck.
