[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Dishe:
Maybe I'm not understanding how that works, but I was under the impression that normal calls were conducted on the 2G/3G layers, and LTE was data only. In other words, the point of VoLTE (at least the way I understood it), was to use that high speed data connection for digital voice as well. If the phone doesn't support VoLTE, why would it attempt to make a "normal call and the call would fail"? It would, worst case scenario, try to connect to b12 for data only, and I'm not so sure that would fail as data would be active on that band.

Its late as I write this and there's a good chance that I'm totally misunderstanding the fundamentals of this tech. But I'm pretty sure I've seen T-mobile users get excited over phones that don't support VoLTE but have B12.

Either way, this is all very off-topic. The Moto E discussed above was for Verizon, which had no business supporting B12, VoLTE or anything non-Verizon. The point I was trying to make was simply that the hardware was likely capable of a lot more than they are allowing via software. Whether or not we are able to tap that full potential is still up for debate.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] AkumaX:
Hey Dishe, still remember you from the Sprint SERO forums lol. I believe T-Mobile wanted B12 to do VoLTE because eventually they will deploy areas where they would only be B12 LTE and EDGE (and the EDGE wouldn't support voice). Also, the phone with B12 LTE would 'force' VoLTE and if you didn't manually turn off LTE, it wouldn't be smart enough to roam on AT&T (for HSPA/+ calls) and you wouldn't be able to make 911 calls.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Dishe:
Hey Akuma!

Been a while, man. Sero was really something when we were all on it. :)

So yeah, that's what I heard, too. B12 is far reaching, and there may be areas that it can penetrate where other channels wouldn't reach. The problem is that B12 is a LTE data signal, so in areas that only B12 reaches, you'd end up with a phone that could connect to the internet but not make or receive calls! The user would see bars and assume there is signal, yet calls would fail because there isn't actually any signal where they are.

The point of VoLTE, and again someone correct me if I'm wrong, was to use that data connection for digital voice over the data network, IN ADDITION TO THE DATA CONNECTION, not instead of it. So, even if your phone doesn't support VoLTE, I would think that b12 would be useful even as just a strong data signal. I'm not personally on T-mobile so none of this is relevant to me, but I have friends that have used 3rd party B12-capable phones without VoLTE and claim that their signal and data speed is better for having it.

Anyway, none of this is really relevant to the topic here- the question is whether or not the Verizon version is actually modified hardware-wise from the unlocked version, or if it is just a software based restriction preventing us from using GSM networks. The fact that someone claims to have been using it for data calls on T-mobile over on another forum seems promising, but I'd like to hear more details about that.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] AkumaX:
RIP SERO (well, more like I never had good Sprint speeds so leaving was less painful lol)

Yup, this is the exact reason why they asked Motorola to remove it in the XT1528 5.1 update. You see bars, you think voice OK, but no voice if T-Mo doesn't have native HSPA+ in the area.. You actually have to be smart enough to turn off/disable LTE, so it can fall back on to HSPA+ (using B2 or B5). It can then roam (on ATT, lol) to make the call. The phone isn't intelligent enough to determine that the phone isn't VoLTE capable to disable it for HSPA+ calls.

Yeah. A B12 data-only phone works great. The VZW Moto E 5.0 works great on T-Mo if you have B12 LTE in your area **and** if you have native (non-roaming) HSPA+ in your area (an assumption you can assume that's true in a metropolitan area). In a super-rural area, where T-Mo only decided to have B12 LTE and **no** HSPA+ backup, this proves to be a problem w/ B12 data-only phones.

Hopefully it's software restriction. Tempted to pick this up ($35 @ BB) to play around with.

The user that reported data-calls wasn't using VoLTE, they were using VoIP (Hangouts Dialer).

So in the end, it seems like the phone will get you LTE (data-only, on at least B4, but no clue on B2/B12). Doesn't look like voice calls or texting work because HSPA+ or EDGE is disabled (via software/hardware). I also read they had to buy an unlock code too.

I've checked both threads regarding this phone. I understand that unlocking this phone will only allow the use of Verizon MVNO's (not GSM), but what I wanted to know is, if I unlock the phone, can it then be used on a Verizon postpaid account WITHOUT activating it on prepaid for 1 month?

Unlock for TracFone?

I use a Moto G4+ on CricKet. I also have a prepaid service through TracFone, & a free FreedomPop service, & a Company-Owned GSM sim card that I use at times. Everything is GSM, but I want to swap my TracFone for a CDMA BYOD Verizon SIM. I can use that SIM in my G4+, but I was considering getting the Verizon G4 Play to use for this, so if I WANT to have both running I can. I see a good Cyber Monday deal for a Verizon prepaid G4 Play, but do not want to get it if I have to pay for service for a year to unlock it. It sounds like there is a way to unlock it, the The discussion seems to assume everyone already knows that, & people just wanting to get it to work with T-Mobile SIMs. Is there a way to unlock it for TracFone without having service on it 1st?

Works DATA only on AT&T once unlocked

I can confirm if you use the Verizon XT1609 by putting in an active prepaid Verizon simcard, then put in another sim card (Cricket i.e. AT&T) and use an eBay unlock code (just search for G4 play unlock), the phone works DATA ONLY. No voice. Probably just the ROM blocking the other bands (what manufacturer would create an entirely different phone just to service 1 provider)? But the bootloader is locked so I can't figure out a way to flash the XT1607 band unlocked version XT1607_HARPIA_RETUS_MPI24.241-2.35-1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip which otherwise matches what the Verizon phone comes with before it prompts to update to the next version. Attempting to flash gives a footer is wrong / signature verification failed error.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Motorola has done so for Verizon for a while now. The model with bands enabled for all providers is the XT1607, which is sold by Motorola, retailers, as well as service providers like Consumer Cellular and U.S. Cellular. The Verizon Prepaid-only model is the XT1609, and is only sold through Verizon Prepaid. Verizon probably requested/payed Moto to do so, and Moto probably complied because it would have made production cheaper (less bands to enable = less licensing fees to pay).

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ClarkCJ975:
Just go to network settings and select from Auto to GSM or WCDMA only, if you still receive network and can make the calls... then let us know....

But i really doubt it would work...

According to this page https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/GL1Wr/motorola-moto-g4-play-4g-lte-xt1609-motorola-affinity

It only got LTE and CDMA bands...

The unlock code purchased from eBay only allows to use different provider's sim card... It won't unlock the GSM or WCDMA bands....

So i think only 4G data will work for most....

If Verizon is promising to unlock the device after contract period then it will take some serious programming into the radio to unlock the needed bands to make it fully unlocked... They must be quite desperate with this device to make it so crippled.

These are different versions of Moto G4 Play:

XT1600/1603 - Brazil, South America?

no info about the bands

XT1601

Bands:

LTE 700/850/1700/1800/1900/2600

UMTS 850/900/1700/1900/2100

GSM 850/900/1800/1900

XT1602 - India, international.

Bands:

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz),

UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz),

4G LTE (B1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 40)

XT1604 - UK. The only version with NFC. Is supplied with 1GB RAM and 8/16GB memory or 2GB RAM and 16 GB memory.

Bands:

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

UMTS / HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)

4G LTE (B1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28)

XT1607 - USA, Amazon.

Bands:

CDMA (850, 1900 MHz) GSM / GPRS / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

UMTS / HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)

4G LTE (B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41)

XT1609 - USA, Verizon.

Bands:

CDMA (850, 1900 MHz)

4G LTE (B2, 4, 5, 13)

Info about the bands are from Moto websites. Therefore I suppose that GSM is not possible on XT1609 due to its hardware (CDMA and GSM require different modems)
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] acadiel:
Verizon XT1609 is FCC ID IHDT56VD4. According to the FCC filing for IHDT56VD4, it should support "CDMA/EV-DO/GSM/EGPRS/WCDMA/HSPA/LTE/FM WLAN 11b/g/n/BT v3.0/BT v4.1 LE" So, it should be able to complete phone calls on HSPA, GSM, etc.

So, it's likely baseband or software crippled somehow. The hardware is there, according to the FCC.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] haher2:
From what I know about Verizon phones (im not from the usa), they usually support gsm on the second simcard. But xt1609 is one simcard version (unlike the rest of g4 play), so, it might be that verizon crippled gsm through taking out second sim slot.

Verizon Moto G Play prepaid unlocked

I just bought an XT1609 @ dollar general for $40 unlocked it on EBay for $2 . Ok so I placed my Cricket sim card in it and it connected to the network received a text message for apn configuration LTE worked Data worked although calls did not . The eBay listing for the unlock said this would happen if the device has not been activated on Verizon for 30 days. Boot loader unlock is a NO GO . My theory is that the bands that are listed for the XT 1607 are indeed on this phone just disabled and blocked by Verizon software . when I was in the network menu under band selection at first was only LTE/CDMA but very briefly after the unlock the menu had 2 new options 3G and 2G I was able to see these options twice before they disappeared . I will be buying my next month of prepaid with Verizon to see if I can later go back to cricket.

I picked up a used XT1609 from Amazon. Paid two bucks for an unlock code on eBay (I'm sure you can do this yourself somehow, but, eh, two bucks). Popped in an H20 (ATT) sim card, entered the unlock code, entered H20's APN info, restarted, and had LTE. Like others have said, the updated google voice's stock dialer app integration fails, but you can use the new voice app for texting, and just use hangouts dialer for calls. The stock dialer from the GSM sim, of course, does not work.

I'm using this as an exercise/running phone, and having mobile data for streaming and whatnot is pretty sweet. I was using an old Verizon Moto E for this purpose before, and this is so much faster. Really, a great phone for everyday use!

XT1609

The Verizon only model likely wouldn't have saved Lenovo much money. The enabling of the bands is a software thing, and since the biggest difference the two is transmission bands, which is what the FCC is concerned with the most, they would have likely had to register both. There was a way to gain temporary root so you could put TWRP or such on there. I think it was an initd vulnerability, but it got patched with a summer '17 security update.

[General Questions and Answers] GeTex:
I've near given up on my Verizon GS5 having VoLTE on T-Mobile or even Voice and Data Simultaneously, but then today, I decided to be risky, I flashed a T-Mobile ROM to my Verizon S5. It won't work they said, it'll brick they said. I was greeted with the T-Mobile boot screen and not only that, it calls, and has data. Everything works, but even more interesting, I now have Data and Voice at the same time... I'm so confused, so VoLTE isn't working because when a call starts the LTE band drops and it reverts to HSPA+(by labeling it as 4G, not 4G LTE).

I could care less about the VoLTE, why did simply changing the ROM cause the Data to stay up in a voice call. My Verizon ROM worked on the LTE band, there is no change to my radio, baseband, or anything else, I simply flashed /system.

Can anyone explain what I'm witnessing? Its clearly phone side and not carrier. Would I be better keeping the TMO ROM over my Verizon ROM anyways? Thoughts, help, comments.
