I think the SIM you are using is an older one. I took my PH-1 by the Hickory, NC Verizon store today and they had never even seen one of these phones yet. An employee named Jaylin said they only have that newer card now, the one with the red V that looks like a check mark, and that it does contain NFC. She said they don't have any of the older ones, but she was being uncooperative. I think she just didn't want to swap out the SIM. There's another Verizon store on the north side of town that I'll try tomorrow. Maybe they will be more helpful. She did say they don't support Visual Voicemail and WiFi calling on non-Verizon phones and I think that is the biggest factor at work here. I guess they want us to buy a phone from them so it will have all their bloatware on it.

Even after sending in the link to this thread and the screenshot to the settings screen with wifi calling, Essential responded with:

Thank you for reaching out.

The reason you do not see WiFi calling and Video Calling is because Verizon does not support that feature on Essential Phone. There is no expected time of when Verizon will unlock that feature for Essential Phone.

Thank you for your time.

No news about wifi calling on Verizon?

Status Updates?

As of Jan 30, 2018 it appears on my PH-1 devices that WiFi calling is still not supported on Verizon network.

Supported with a Sprint SIM installed, and disappears when Verizon SIM installed (have tried both SIM options - with NFC Payment and without).

When enabled (on Sprint) the WiFi Icon (on Taskbar) changes to include a small old-style phone handset at bottom of icon.

Hoping to read of updates on how to activate WiFi calling on my EP-1's ... ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bL1X:
I waited for a good deal on the Pixel 2 XL and then went with it. I have owned cell phones since the mid 90s and the Essential PH-1 was the absolute worst cell phone experience I have ever had.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nrage23:
I tried the Verizon version of the ZenFone AR. Trust me it was much much worse than the PH-1.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
It appears that if you use Google Voice and have signed up for their new WiFi calling feature, that you can now enable WiFi calling as well as carrier video calls on your PH-1 using Verizon as a carrier.

Are you on stock? I signed up for the voice wifi calling beta but still haven't gotten the email. I've been using voice as my voice mail provider for years. So excited to get wifi calling.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Yes, stock rooted. Really psyched to have this back.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gregfink83:
I wonder if this is going to show up on LineageOS. Hopefully I get the email and invite soon.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Zargone:
Ok ... one more time PLEASE. I am on 8.1 STOCK without root. So how do I make Verizon WiFi calling work?

Thanks!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
You have to use Google Voice to make your calls (and have signed up for their new WiFi calling feature), which means your Google Voice number is going to show up on the other person's caller ID. I ported my cell number over to GV a while ago, so everyone still sees the number they know me by. You'll have to let people know your Google number otherwise.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 12paq:
The Magisk module "VoEnabler" works perfectly for turning on wifi calling. No Google Voice needed.

Not sure if it matters but I'm on AT&T and the module has worked on all the latest stock 7 versions, beta 8.x and 8.1 official version.

I do have wifi calling with my AT&T family plan. So it's all legit and straightforward. It all just works.

Edit: [MENTION=2371173]spotmark[/MENTION] I've been using Google Voice for years as my 2nd line for my Photography business. Thanks for mentioning the new wifi calling option. I signed up for it and got it in a couple days. A good option to have!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bokononfoma:
Spotmark, is Verizon wifi calling still working for you? I signed up for and activated the Google Voice wifi calling beta. Google Voice wifi calling works, but I still don't see the Verizon wifi calling settings available on my phone. I am running stock 8.1 April update. I'm not rooted. In addition to root, have you enabled any magisk modules?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I believe for it to show up, you have to use your Google Voice number when making calls.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bokononfoma:
Unfortunately, changing to the google voice number for dialing did not make the wifi calling settings appear. Any other suggestions?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Sorry, no. I just figured that's what needed to be done because I'm using GV and it showed up, while my wife's phone is just going through Verizon and the option doesn't show up.

Hi guys,

my P10 (stock rom, rooted and TWRP installed) says I can install a new system update: VTR-L09C02B151

So it downloads the update, then reboot, but TWRP shows up and so no update is done.

How can I install this update?

Thank you

adb reboot bootloader (reboot in fastboot mode)

fastboot devices (check your phone is in fastboot mode)

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img (flash to stock recovery)

fastboot reboot (reboot the phone)

==================================

Step 2 - Download System Update and install it

Go to Settings -> System Update -> Check for Update

==================================

Step 3 - Flash TWRP again

Download TWRP 3.1.1-2 - https://mega.nz/#!8JwhzBzD!jiuod03amEPlWpo1LD7GWiwP62Z9I97F_TEarmXRrFU

Download SuperSU 2.82 for EMUI5 - https://mega.nz/#!WAYhHRwC!KAaTqWDID9-0e4s4RuKmUN_AKWBPjDJ0ynTXi7sYAv4

Go to "Reboot" menu and press System for normal reboot.

Tested and works on my WAS-LX1C432.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] minimega:
Maybe this guide can be no more valid..

On my P10, updating from B179 to B180 (due to system notification) and TWRP/root installed, update process fails always.

So I extracted recovery.img from B179 Full-OTA update, flashed over TWRP and started system upgrade process, who completed successfully to B180.

However now I get FRP Unlock, (as before update) but PHONE Locked.

So system upgrade has overwrited the unlocked bootloader with a locked one.

Now, to reflash TWRP and apply root, I've to "fastboot oem unlock *Here Huawei Code*" for the second time, loosing all my apps, datas and settings!!

And each time a new update is available is the same way.. you have to go back to stock, and a new unlock will loose all your data....

Really annoying!
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] stillrottentothegore:
So once I got to this part, it downloaded the update and then the phone rebooted into the stock eRecovery, but whenever it would try and install the update, it would say "Getting package info failed." Any ideas?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] stillrottentothegore:
Hey I know I'm bumping here, but I'm seriously still at a loss with this. Stock recovery flashes fine, but every single time I try to install the new update, it comes up with ""Getting package info failed." If anyone has experienced this, it'd be great to get it resolved.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
can anyone who has root access provide me with a dump of the misc partition from their H918 LGV20? I flashed a ROM that apparently included the misc.bin from the KDZ and now mine is wiped. HELP! the command to use would be the following

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc of=/external_sd/backup/misc.img
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:
I unpacked the 10K KDZ, surprisingly there was a misc.bin there. It was not on the previous 10J I checked.

Anyway, here you go. I'm bricked so this is all I can give you. I assume it will be fine.

Hmm... I just looked at it, and it's zeroed-out. But it must be supposed to, right? If you flash the KDZ then that is what happens.

Edit: Or maybe it's only included by accident, and isn't actually flashed...hmm I'll leave it here until you respond, if it's not what you need I'll remove it, so not to detract from you request :)

Edit2: Removed
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
thanks, however I believe the KDZ was what caused mine to be zeroed out... now my phone's MAC address is no longer fixed and keeps changing as a result of no misc partition
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:
Wow. You flashed this *H91810k.zip* right? I used that one too while my phone was functioning. And yes I noticed that exact problem with the MAC address because I was using FTP server on the phone. DAMN

How do we fix it? Manual edit of misc partition to insert our original MAC?

Ok I see you wrote KDZ. I flashed a TWRP H918 10K rom from the forum. I suppose many will have this problem.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] andy_zhang:
MISC partition. What does it do

China user
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
misc partition contains device info like WiFi and BT MAC addresses, device IMEI and serial number... if you want to help me out, it may be best to open up the file in a hex editor after creating it to block out those information.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
Your device is 100% usable without a misc partition. i regularly wiped mine because twrp stores its config there.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:
So you're saying the IP address changing at every reboot is not related to this?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
IP address changing is related to the DHCP server of your network changing your IP. If you mean MAC changing at every boot its a issue with custom roms. Not the Misc Partition.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:
Yes the MAC address is changing, therefore IP address changes as a consequence. That is what I meant.

We thought this was because the misc partition was wiped. (I was using stock 10k)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
There IS a possibility that the MAC is stored in MISC but im pretty sure its stored in the FIRMWARE partition. Regardless. If you use someone elses MISC partition that you mean you would have their MAC address IF its stored in there. You would still not have yours.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:
Yes, well it was not my idea to get a misc backup from someone. But [MENTION=5687667]dimm0k[/MENTION] did bring to my attention the MAC address problem, and it just seemed very logical that it was caused by that botched 10K KDZ file.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
The MAC address issue is on almost every aosp rom and aosp roms dont touch MISC so its probably not caused but the MISC partition. Yes theres always a possibility but still. There might be other stuff going on.

[MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] [MENTION=6814590]askermk2000[/MENTION]

while I'm a novice to all of this, I can say with 100% certainty that on the LGV20 the MAC address is tied to the misc partition, which looks to be the /dev/block/sda5 partition. as mentioned, the H91810k KDZ contained a misc.bin that I had in my original release of the TWRP flashable 10k zip. because of this my MAC address has been constantly changing after a reboot to that of something beginning with 00:90:4c. I don't know much about AOSP so I can't comment on that, but because I have 2 LGV20s of different variants I was able to get a dump from the US996 variant for the misc partition and compare that to the "damaged" misc partition on the H918. The size is exactly the same, 32MB, with the beginning parts being different between the two dumps. I was able to restore my MAC address by hex editing the "damaged" misc using the same location from the US996 variant's misc partition as a reference. I was also able to restore the BT MAC address and serial number using the same method. prior to these edits my WiFi and BT MAC addresses kept changing and the serial number was actually missing in the Settings > About Phone section. after these edits they have been constant to what I set them as. the only reason I want the misc partition now is so that I can compare to see if there was anything else in the misc partition that I need to restore that's specific to the H918. the misc partition isn't crucial for the device to work, but it is needed to avoid random MAC addresses that I know for sure.

that said, askermk2000, do you happen to have a misc dump for the US996? that would help me confirm what's missing from the H918 as I have a good US996 misc dump.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
This was very enlightening. I was with [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] as far as the misc partition goes. I have wiped it many times, for various reasons -- just thought it was used by the stock recovery. One being forgetting to turn off auto updates, and getting caught in a boot loop (wiping fota wasn't enough). But I never used my phone as a server, so no need to consistently get the same address from a DHCP server. Once I get my H918, I will definitely go through it and see what else is in there.

Doing some searching, apparently on older phones it was possible to re-lock your boot loader without wiping data if you dumped the misc partition before and after unlocking. Just flash the "locked" version back, and viola, locked boot loader. This may come in handy on the H918 since T-Mobile allows unlocking, and can't use the eng boot loader that claims it is locked when it isn't.

I am pretty sure the MAC address (& IMEI) is stored in the modemst1 & modemst2 partitions.

I was able to easily change them when I wiped those on my H990DS.

Try going to dialpad & type *#546368#*918# (it is *#546368#*990# for my H990DS)-->SVC Menu-->CRCWIZARD Test-->Auto MID-->MID Setting

(should be able to set with wiped modemst1 & modemst2 partitions however option wasn't available when I restored those partitions)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] askermk2000:
That is not the point. It's just a shadow copy in the misc, probably for easy access by apps. But as a courtesy to the users wanting to help, he mentions it, though I wouldn't sweat about that imei stuff.

Who cares? I've been reading smartphone forums en-mass for a long time now, and there's no shortage of people posting their imei for various reasons. Or go to Ebay and look at almost every phone listing, you will find the IMEI so ppl can check if it's blacklisted.

You can even generate your own imei if you really wanna change it.

Edit: He already said that he fixed his wlan & bt mac address by editing the misc partition.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
here's what autoprime had to say on the matter

12:43 <autoprime> misc is unique.. as is efs. persist is not.

12:45 <autoprime> mac is in misc. meid/esn is in efs.. as well as other unique variables. persist is contained in the kdz and is flashed on every update

13:42 <autoprime> misc has your imei.. but editing misc imei wouldnt change your imei on the device
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Walter.White:
Dude you figure out yet? because I'm in the same boat. My WiFi mac keeps changing every reboot. Also does the BT mac and my S/N is missing in "about"

But my IMEI is still there. Not sure what the heck happened or how I could have wiped. /misc.

Maybe caused by magisk? Not sure. I guess we could uninstall to see if it fixes the problem.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] could help us out maybe?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dimm0k:
I've been comparing some different variants of the misc partition in attempts to restore mine, but don't have enough working versions from the H918 to determine a complete restore... having said that, I have determined the locations one needs to change with a hex editor to restore the Wi-Fi MAC address, BT MAC address, and serial number.

6000H - 6005H: Wi-Fi MAC address

8000H - 8005H: BT MAC address

d000H - d00eH: IMEI (no point in changing this, I believe this is read directly from the hardware)

12000H - 1200cH: serial number

There were other hex addresses where things differed between the copies of the misc partitions I was able to gather, but they don't look to have any adverse effects from being different and without another H918 misc partition I can't tell if they vary between devices or if they should be the same.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] |Furō|:
Hey everyone,

This is not a super important question, but it still irritates me. I wanted to try out the game Arena of Valor (which hit the German PlayStore recently) and play a round with some friends. But it turns out it apparently can't be installed. (My friends running the default roms on their phones (Huawei etc.) Have no issues at all)

I have an Axon7 running one of the latest Resurrection Remix Builds and I am rooted using Magisk. I have not experienced any other problems with downloading or installing apps from the PlayStore.

But whenever I tap on download, the download of the game starts and (since it is a rather large one) takes a while (I get the normal download bar and everything). Then after a while it says "installing" for another like 5 minutes to then suddenly give me an error message which reads as follows (rough translation from German):

" App can not be downloaded.

'Arena of Valor ..... Game' (full name of the game) can not be downloaded. Please try again. If the issue remains you can get help from the Probelmsolving article. (Code of error: 492) "

So obviously I tried again (for like 15 times now), I also tried rebooting my phone several times and I did search the code of error online and found out that it's supposed to be google-related and clearing the cache of the PlayStore and services could fix this, but it did not for me.

At this point I'm pretty confused, since I can install any other app (I've tried so far) just fine and I am now wondering why this would be. Could it be an issue with root, but then again I'd think it would tell me, as other apps did before. Does any one else have this issue or the app successfully installed on their device? Or does anyone have an idea what could cause my problem and fix this? Thanks for any help in advance!

Cheers

Just tried to download it. It worked fine, installed, started up OK. I'm on stock 7.1.1. B05 (A2017G). I'd suggest You to find the game's .apk somewhere (there are some sites hosting android apps) and try to download/install from there.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] |Furō|:
Hey thanks for your feedback! I already did that as well... should have added it above :/ I downloaded from apkmirror and another site and got it to start nad was asked to give permissions, but after that everytime a pop-up showed up telling me to download again from google play, since there was some kind of error. So that didn`t do the trick either for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TBone142:
Well, I'd say I thought so it'd do that, but it did worth a shot. I'm sorry it didn't help.

Edit: Just got something on my mind. On ine of the stock updates (can't remember which one) download from the Play Store was really, I mean REALLY slow through Wi-Fi. But I realized that if I simply start the download then put the phone in 'sleep' mode by pressing the power button, the download speed is just turns back to normal. It was pretty obvious during big downloads. It was really slow (shown 30 minutes or so for finish), then I just pressed power, checked on it in a couple of minutes and download was done. I don't know why it did this, but it worked every time, maybe you should try that. Other than that, go back to stock. :D jk.
