That sounds a lot like the WiFi connection at my college. It doesn't activate WiFi Calling, but it does list IWLAN and Network being disconnected.

A few months ago, when I had my old phone, same thing used to happen there. I found out it's because my college blocks all ports that aren't for browsing or Gmail. WiFi Calling apparently needs certain ports open in order to function properly. If you're at home when this happens, I'd check your router settings.

Also, are you sure you have a valid E911 address on file with MetroPCS? On my old phone, it refused to let me use WiFi Calling without providing one. Since the Nexus 6 isn't a MetroPCS phone, I imagine it that if that was the case, it wouldn't alert about this like true MetroPCS phones do, but the connection would be blocked anyway.

I'm on MetroPCS, and the WiFi Calling on my Nexus 6 works perfectly outside of my locked-down college network

I use the franco app to adjust color settings and usually keep it set to "deep_blacks_colorful" since it's the closest I can get to look like the LG G3 and Galaxy S6 displays when I compare the phones side by side.

You can't be serious. This is the "Tmobile Nexus 6 News.." thread. Why would T-Mobile users use or care about the VZW backup app?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Letting you guys know your T-Mobile phone is now minus some bloatware. :). Isn't that good news?
[Nexus 6  General] sn0warmy:
Haha. I'm sorry for the brash post. I hadn't had my coffee yet. I'm drinking it now so we are all set. :highfive:

[Nexus 6  General] teinwhite:
I noticed that as well. It was going to be the first thing I did after rooting and installing TiBackup.
[Nexus 6  General] TechnoGeek2134:
I hadn't noticed that, no. Hahaha, T-Mobile did us all a favor and removed Verizon bloatware from their build. Thanks, T-Mobile ???
[Nexus 6  General] californiarailroader:
I took your advice and chatted with Metro PCS online and gave them my E911 address, and after a reboot and an hour or so WiFi came Calling came on at home, and stayed on, thanks TechnoGeek! I have a feeling they didn't have a valid E911 address file on file for me.
[Nexus 6  General] californiarailroader:
Update- Strangely, Wifi Calling stopped working again tonight, and is still off. I doubt it's my router because that would prevent Wifi Calling from working at all, it works, just sporadically. I have a feeling it's still buggy, and T-Mobile will have to release another update to fix it on the Nexus 6. I'm completely stock, just rooted with Twrp Recovery.

Update 2- Well, for the heck of it I removed and reinserted my SIM Card, and WiFi Calling started working again! We'll see how long it stays on this time.
[Nexus 6  General] d3vilskid:
Strange indeed, I usually don't use Wi-Fi calling but decided to use it on the nexus, but it doesn't work at my house. When I'm at the hospital it works like a charm. On the other hand my wife's sgs5 Wi-Fi calling works great at home, but she doesn't like to have it on and prefer volte.
[Nexus 6  General] californiarailroader:
I really haven't tried it outside of our home networks (2.4 and 5 Ghz), I'll have to try some other WiFi networks when I'm out and about and see how they do. We're very rural out here in Redwood Valley (Mendocino County in Northwestern California), so other than a VERY weak and unusable signal coming from a neighbor on our north side, my networks are all I can see out here.
[Nexus 6  General] californiarailroader:
Well, it's stayed on WiFi Calling for a night and a day now, maybe it just took a bit for things to settle down. We'll see how things go over the next week.
[Nexus 6  General] rasengan82:
Mine disc again after two days lol.
[Nexus 6  General] LeoRex:
Playing around with the M preview, it most certainly is possible to have a custom kernel with Wi-Fi calling. Despair kernel has a M build that allows root, and Wi-Fi calling works.

Yes, the M preview has Wi-Fi calling built in.... And LYZ28E's Wi-Fi calling works with the M radio and bootloader... So I can only assume they are one in the same.

So we just need the kernel devs to check with the Despair dev and get his mystical encantations.

That's probably all you need to get wifi calling working. ims is related to wifi calling.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Anyone experiencing multiple SMS messages being sent and received if they set their phone to Wi-Fi calling preferred?
[Nexus 6  General] TechnoGeek2134:
Not me. I only seem to send one, and I only get one reply.
[Nexus 6  General] jhernand1102:
This seems to be related to the enhanced 4G LTE mode, disable that and it should be fine.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Will I still get HD calls and WiFi calling?
[Nexus 6  General] jhernand1102:
WiFi calling still works but HD calls won't.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
It seems the issue disappears when I switch it to cellular preferred instead of wifi preferred under the wifi calling. I'm guessing that the wifi calling causes the text to be sent out via wifi and then via cellular right afterwards. It happened while I was on M and when I flashed back to L. Can anyone with T-mobile test it out for me so I can say I"m not taking crazy pills?
[Nexus 6  General] jakehalligan:
Can't seem to find the answer here or on the web: can I get WiFi calling on T Mobile if I bring my own unlocked 6? Would I receive the 5.1.1 update w that feature or is it only on TM branded phones?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  General] mapatton82:
Not a 100% positive but I think you could just flash the T-Mobile LVZ28E 5.1.1 build to get WiFi calling.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
As long as your build is LVZ28E and stock kernel as of right now you'll get wifi calling. Actually I think there is one dev kernel that supports wifi calling but LVZ28E is a requirement as of right now.
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
As stated, installing the LYZ28E will get you WiFi calling on any Nexus 6 with a T-Mobile SIM in it. If you take that SIM out, the option disappears. I bought my Nexus 6 from Telus in Canada and WiFi calling works very well for me on stock rooted LYZ28E.
[Nexus 6  General] jakehalligan:
Thanks everyone.

The reason I was checking, is that the post claiming BB had the 6 for $550 made me do some investigating. Actually, it's going for $499 unlocked. That price made it a bit more accessible. And since TM is offering two lines, unlimited, for $100, I might be making switch from AT&T.

Would LYZ28E be waiting OTA when I turn it on, or would I have to flash it over whatever build is on phone out of the box?
[Nexus 6  General] JimSmith94:
It figures that BB would drop their price a week after I bought mine from TMO. According to Google searches, TMO doesn't price match either. Has anyone had any luck getting them to match? I'm still within my 14 day return window, but I imagine the restocking fee would cancel out the $50 saving.
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
It depends on the software version it comes with. If it comes with LRX22C, you could get the OTA with a T-Mobile SIM in your device to bring you to LMY47M and then get the OTA to take you up to LYZ28E. More than likely though, you will have to flash the factory image yourself, which you can get here..
[Nexus 6  General] EvoRocker:
Are there any roms that have T-Mobile Wifi Calling integrated or is the only option to flash the img?
[Nexus 6  General] dave2metz:
I'm wondering the same thing....
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
This is the only working WiFi solution so far other than the stock Android M Preview.
[Nexus 6  General] K-alz:
Any news on the WiFi calling?
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Benzo is getting close.
[Nexus 6  General] K-alz:
Thank you. I'm getting my N6 in the next few days and WiFi calling is a must for since I live in an area where signal gets lost easily.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
I am using the M preview and have no issues using it. I get good signal most places, so for me it is just because I can, lol.
[Nexus 6  General] K-alz:
Does M have WiFi calling?
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Yes.
[Nexus 6  General] K-alz:
That's nice. I hope development will get to it soon so we can use it. Do you know any of the Roms that actually have it currently? I mean the ones that are in the development section like chroma and the other ones. Or do I need to do some kind of work around to enable it?
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Not that I am aware of. Maybe something like Sinless, but I am not sure. Source built ROMs don't have it working. There is a thread in the developers only section about it.
[Nexus 6  General] K-alz:
Alright thanks for the answers. Guess I'll just slap android M on then root it then!
[Nexus 6  General] giant22000:
I'm using JDX 1.0 based off of M preview and for me the M preview's wifi calling is more reliable than that of LYZ28E stock.
[Nexus 6  General] bikeryder007:
Have any of you guys flashed a custom kernel that will still allow wifi calling to still work on the stock E 5.1.1 rom?

Wifi calling is working great for me, but I am bone stock and it is killing me. : )
[Nexus 6  General] justibasa:
I hear zen kernel is working. It's a test kernel, but might be worth a try.
[Nexus 6  General] bikeryder007:
Thanks for the heads up. Zen's test kernel is working great and wifi calling is working as it should on the stock rom.
[Nexus 6  General] kellybrf:
can anyone answer this? my Wi-Fi calling disappears after a few hours and doesn't return unless I reboot
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
Are you on the E 5.1.1.? If so, try flashing the M radio. I never had drops but I found the reception to be slightly better for both cell and WiFi with the M radio.
[Nexus 6  General] eldar4uk:
flashed latest zens kernel and worked great, thanks guys
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
You lose Volte with the M radio on stock E
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
Yes, but you can't utilize both at the same time anyway. I don't have any issues with call quality without VoLTE.
[Nexus 6  General] kellybrf:
I don't want to flash radios, just want to know how to kill imsdatadaemon
[Nexus 6  General] ker2gsr:
Which one you used the hc-b7-t2-zen ?
[Nexus 6  General] bikeryder007:
You are referring to hells core kernel that uses the zen hotplugging. I am using the actaul Zen kernel by bbedward in original development. I am not sure if hells works with WiFi calling, but his kernel in general is awesome.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
I guess this is as good as a place as any:

I am getting ready to travel to Malaysia to visit my in-laws. Has anyone around here used the free international roaming? I have read up on it some, and the general consensus is that it works, but expect slow speeds. I guess in some places you can buy upgrades to 3G or 4G.

So my questions:

Anyone around here actually done this in Malaysia? (realize this is low probability, but ya never know)

Anyone tried the free roaming while on an ASOP or CM based ROM? (I have an M ROM on now, and I will likely travel with lightROM since it is close to stock, and I will have a stock rooted backup, just in case).

Anyone ever use WiFi calling while out of the US?

Anyone use Google Voice on a foreign carrier's data? (If the speed sucks too bad I will pick up a SIM from a Malaysian carrier. One of my brothers-in-law is an Android enthusiast--he tried to get me to go in with him to sell an app on the US play store once, lol--so he will have the low down on who to get.)
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I guess you're kind of in luck. I went to KL with my moto x 2013 on t-mobile and had no issues with getting data. upon landing and connecting to the local network, you should get a text telling you that you have free international data roaming and calls are 20 cents per minute. unfortunately wifi calling doesn't work on the moto x so I couldn't test that.

I tested google hangouts dialing with my google voice number in Cancun on 2g speeds and it worked great. minimal lag but not annoying to the end user or to me. The ROM shouldn't matter unless it's wifi calling you're looking to use. To be on the safe side I'd use the google hangouts dialing so you know it's on data and not using your minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Thanks!

My in-laws are all in Penang, but should not be much difference. I was planning to use hangouts just to be sure, although I think you can set up in Google Voice to have it always be used when dialing out.

Again, thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] lordhamster:
I'm stock, and have used the free data roaming this year in: UK, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Qatar, India, Chile, China, Hong Kong. I've not made it to Malaysia since the free roaming took effect.

Overall, this is the #1 reason I use T-Mobile. This great feature is really a game changer. In most places it just works. In some less populated cities, it can be a bit hard to get and keep a good data signal. In india for example I was in Trivandrum where I had service some days on Vodaphone and other days on Airtel. Switching carriers manually usually solved any data issues I had.

Wifi calling works great, although many hotels block the required UDP ports, meaning you may be out of luck. Wifi calls to the US are free, and wifi calls anywhere else are charged at the .20 cents/min rate you normally get in the "Free roaming" countries.

I've been able to use good voice and skype on the data network in UK, Germany and India and it (as well as skype) worked fairly well. Google voice is great for when you are in a place that has wifi, but blocks wifi calling as it seems to work at all times.

One caveat: Google voice/hangouts do not work on many wifi hotspots in China as they block google services.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Thanks. We won't be in hotels except for maybe one night on a family trip. Will mostly be using wifi at my wife's parents and her brother's place. I have an openvpn setup if I need to use it to make the traffic look like it's coming from my house. It's just not always super fast.

I don't get around as much anymore. I was showing my kids one of my old passports to explain what happens when we go through immigration, and was like, woah, I used to travel a LOT. But that was all in the pre-smartphone era. My brother-in-law used to bring us a flip phone burner when he picked us up at the airport.
[Nexus 6  General] lordhamster:
The best thing is now when you land in KL, you will immediately have a working phone. At 20 cents a min for calls and free data, You really have little need for a local phone. The only down-side is it can be hard to convince people to call you since for them it is still an international call. Apps like Whatapp, WeChat, Hangouts, or whatever is possible in Malaysia remedy that issue mainly.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Got a goofy question just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile an while on Sprint I always had a LTE icon at the top by the signal bars.I noticed since being on T-Mobile it always says 3G then when I start surfing the web or anything that uses data it says H+..Is that the way T-Mobile works on the Nexus 6.I noticed all the other phones at T-Mobile store always said 4G...
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
I guess it might depend on what rom you have, on dirty unicorns and aosip mine says lte or h+ or h
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Gotcha I'm on Euphoria
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
What radio are you using? In my area the m radio is working best for me so if you haven't experimented if recommend that you try a few different ones.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Haven't changed anything just swapped the Sims changed the APN to T-Mobile off of sprint an that's it.

I'm in Desmoines,Iowa..
[Nexus 6  General] motoridersd:
Stock Nexus 6 ROMs display LTE when on LTE and H+ when on HSPA+. If this was the same phone you were using for Sprint, you might want to check your APN settings. T-Mobile's LTE APN is fast.t-mobile.com. You might also be in an area where there is no LTE coverage.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr_S:
Not true. Im in uk and it says 4g in status bar on stock 5.1.1
[Nexus 6  General] motoridersd:
My statement applies when using a T-Mobile US SIM card
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
My stock Play Store Nexus 6 on T-Mobile properly shows LTE by the signal indicator. 3G, H, and H+ are all different and separate.
[Nexus 6  General] GBPackerFanForLife:
Would be nice if we had LTE here in Desmoines,Iowa Still on H+ grrrrrr really hope the coverage here gets better...
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Thanks for the advice guys. We are back in the US now. It worked out great. Mostly had digi in KL (really just there for the airport). My wife's family is all in Penang. There we had Maxis most of the time. My wife's parents live south of George Town in a newly developing area kind of just south of the airport and the coverage there was spotty. They are in a terrace house, so no elevation to help but they had OK wifi so it worked out. We took a side trip to Johor to go to Legoland and there I had solid coverage everywhere. Whatsapp always worked, and I was able to use Google Voice/Hangouts to send free texts and MMS to my parents in the the US. I also made a call back to the US on wifi using Google Voice and it was clear.

FWIW, everything worked great on my wife's iPhone, too. And now they are adding Canada and Mexico!

(Note to self: do NOT put a lamp on a timer that is in view of your security system's IR sensor unless you want the unpleasant experience of getting an alert from your camera system of a police officer visiting your house due to the alarm going off. My call was to the security monitoring company to put the IR sensor on test.)
[Nexus 6  General] hayzooos:
Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I recently picked up a N6 from Amazon when they had that deal going on. With T-Mobile, obviously, and I'm wondering about these new updates they're coming out with. I'm rooted, "stock" as I have Xposed installed, so I'm wondering if there's anyway we can flash these new T-Mobile specific updates (LYZ28K) without needing to flash the whole image.

Can you flash just a piece of the image (like only system, maybe a few others) without losing everything? Anyway to flash something and not have to re-root, etc?

Apologies for all the questions, I've been using an N5 for the past year and a half and that was easier as there weren't any T-Mobile specific builds.
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
If you extract a factory image, the individual .IMG files are inside. You can flash one or all of them to suit what you want. Just don't flash the user data IMG unless you want to wipe your device. If you flash the system image, you should wipe cache before you let it boot for the first time after flashing. You will more than likely have to reroot after flashing.
[Nexus 6  General] hayzooos:
That's kind of what I figured, but I didn't know if anyone knew of any flashable zips floating around that would update the files needed, and not have to flash the whole thing, speaking about the system partition.

Re-rooting isn't exactly hard, but just an extra step. Thanks for the response. I might just hold off on flashing anything until 6.0 is officially dropped.

Do you, or anyone else, know if there will have to be carrier-specific images for 6.0+? I've read wifi calling will be baked in to 6.0 and moving forward so I didn't know if we'd go back to having single N6 images instead of different ones for different carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
I would assume that the M builds will come in carrier specific forms. Regardless, all radios are backwards compatible so you can flash what works best for you. There are some custom ROM's that don't flash the radio and boot loader and are pre-rooted. With M more than likely dropping on the 29th of September. That isn't long to wait.
[Nexus 6  General] TechnoGeek2134:
It's quite likely that M will combine all the current carrier-specific tweaks into a single build; it's why it already has WiFi Calling baked into it. Which means, it's quite likely that all Nexus 6 builds from 6.0 on will be one single build. I certainly hope so, because carriers would release them faster, most likely, since it's one universal build and no one's having issues with it, so there's no reason to delay and test, etc, like with carrier-specific tweaks.

In fact, I think that's why the N6 has had all these different builds; they're like the testing ground for every carrier. They pack their own build with the tiniest of tweaks to make the phone perform better on their network-- Verizon's newer radio, T-Mobile's WiFi Calling, etc.

Once all of their tweaks are tried and tested, they'll be hopefully combined into one universal build and move on from there.
[Nexus 6  General] hayzooos:
I think this is what everyone is hoping for and that's what would happen in our ideal world. We'll just have to wait and see if it comes to fruition or not. I've not messed with any of the Dev Previews for M, but there's only a unified build for those, right? Nothing carrier-specific? I thought I read TMob wifi calling works with the M preview which would lead me to believe you're right and 6.0+ will have a single build. Until one carrier comes up with something cool again.

jcsww - I haven't looked into the ROM scene for the N6 yet. I held off for a little while with the N5 and then went to Cataclysm as it started out 98% stock with a few tweaks, which is how I'd prefer it. I just think after too many things get changed, added in, etc etc...things start going wrong. I'd like to keep it stock-ish (Xposed) for as long as possible. I've had my flashaholic days before, and I'd like to keep away from them again if possible.
[Nexus 6  General] mike102871:
Least you got that. Got the big ole E here
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Xposed is keeping it stockish? Confused
[Nexus 6  General] painfree:
jcsww.. I currently am rooted via NRT (as other methods seem hard to me) but I purchased my N6 from Amazon and wanted to use the T mobile WiFi calling so I am in a similar boat. Is there a way to flash only the parts pertaining to the WiFi calling or if not can you supply more details on how to use NRT to give me WiFi calling with my T mobile? I tried once already but it failed so I used the TWRP to restore me back. I do not know what exact things need to be loaded into the Open Recovery Script Manager portion of NRT.

Long story short.. I am a bit over my head here and would like some help getting my LMY48I to LYZ28e so I can use the WiFi calling as my home is surrounded by many trees and data calling is far from great.
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
Your best bet would be to flash the factory image of the latest version, which is LYZ28K currently. Once downloaded, extract the image. There are some very good tutorials around here for flashing. I'm guessing that because you only want to partially flash portions, that you don't want to wipe data. If that is the case, then do not flash the userdata.img and only clear cache before the first reboot. If you want to keep TWRP, don't flash recovery.img also. You will need to reroot, if desired, This will give you access to WiFi Calling as long as you have a T-Mobile SIM in your phone. If you swap it for an AT&T SIM, for example, the WiFi Calling option will disappear until the T0Mobile SIM is back in the device.
[Nexus 6  General] hayzooos:
No kernel changes, no ROM, just Gravity Box, so yeah...I'd say stockish, with the emphasis on ish.
[Nexus 6  General] painfree:
jcsww, I honestly do not know what files are to be included.. I will make screen capture images and post them here and perhaps that will help of course these are for the e version of the LYZ28 but I assume there are similar for the K... Now I cannot post them as I am under 10 posts :(
[Nexus 6  General] jcsww:
K is the latest version for T-Mobile. If you are going to flash, you might as well flash to the latest build. You basically want to do the Method 2 flash listed here, but you will not flash userdata.img. If you want to keep TWRP, you will not flash recovery.img also. The post there is very lengthy but well worth the read. You will find al of the answers you seek within that thread.
