[Q] t-mobile for calls and another service for data - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone using T-mobile for making calls only, no data and using a different service for data?
I am wanting to use T-mobile for my phone calling service but I want to use my hotspot/modem for wifi as it always goes with me and I am already getting a good deal on it. So I am looking to see if anyone has done this. When I talk to T-mobile they say that their pay as you go has no data but I am wondering if there is any way for T-mobile to interfere with my wifi hotspot/modem. BTW I am new to smart phones.

No you can do that. Just have your Nexus 4 connected to the WiFi hotspot all the time and you will be fine. It won't interfere with your cellular connection for phone calls and messaging

This will work. I did this when I used a phone that didn't have T-Mobile bands.

Are you on the right plan? Did it work before? What did you change?

I have spent 2 days on the phone with customer care and they act like they have no clue what the device is. They think it is the phone and not the tablet. The problem I'm having is a Rep told me u can do a non contract data line for the tab and pay $40 a month. Ever since they added the data line I haven't had internet. They have confirmed that I have a tab but they don't know what data plan I should be on. What happens is every time I try to connect the the market or anything that uses data it fails and ask me to retry. I made sure I have the correct apn setting and its still not working
out of Apple semen came the HTC Evo
Do you have SIM card in your Tab?
Where did you get the Tab from? At the store? or online?
Did the internet work in 3G at the store? what about with wifi?
Did you sign up for any plans when you got the Tab?
You should be on one of the web connect plans for the Tab.

having same issue here. Data plan worked yesterday but have not been able to connect today. Only goes to MY.TMOBILE.COM. Inserted sim in HD2 and it works properly.
Cant receive MMS or access data plan on Galaxy Tab. Shows EDGE network is connected. Can make calls, send and receive text. Can send MMS.
Any ideas?
If anyways else is has flashed their Tab to make calls on Tmobile US did you have to make any changes to network settings? APN name is showing as "T-mobile US 310 260"
Thanks for any info you may be able to provide.
Sounds like you guys are most likely not on the right data plan. As stated earlier you need to be on the web connect data plan. If you are on a voice plan plan with the android data feature it won't work. Or more specifically it may work for a bit then stop working once the imei is filtered.

Thanks for the straight forward simply explanation. Why isnt there more people complaining of this after they flashed to JK1 for voice service?

Nexus 4 t-mobile Wi-Fi calling

Just picked up a nexus 4 a few days ago, in using it on the t mobile network, at work I don't get reception inside the building and have always relied on Wi-Fi calling, does anyone know if there is a way to get the Wi-Fi calling apk on the phone and have it work

It needs to be enabled at the kernel level, which has not yet been done.
So no, currently no way.

[Q] Wifi Tether stops working when placing a call

I have been using Wifi tethering on my ATT Galaxy S4. Shouldn't I be able to tether and make a phone call at the same time? I tether, then make a call, and I no longer am able to ping through my phone. I can ping the wireless interface on the phone, but nothing else.
Anyone else able to do this? Seems like it should be possible.
I've noticed, for myself being on Rogers Wireless LTE, whenever I receive a call 3G and HSPA take over and LTE shuts off until the phone call it is completed

I think it has to do with voice over LTE or HD voice if i am not wrong.
If they don't have HD voice calling it will drop to HSPA
Well where I'm at, I don't think LTE for calls has been implemented yet for any carriers

This is with 4G as well. I tether, internet works fine. I then place a call and no longer can get to the internet.
Is this a limitation of the phone or the ATT network?

No, this is an issue with the phone/software. Tether on a call works fine on the Galaxy S III (it also drops back to 4G from LTE when you make a call, but tethering keeps working)

Anyone got AT&T hotspot auto login to work?

I have an AT&T SGS4 and their bloatware makes me sick but their feature that automatically logs you in to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots is nice. Has anyone got that to work on a Nexus 7?
Would also like to get it to work on s Nexus 5 but that is for another day.
Thanks.

What network are you on

I am on T-Mobile in the USA. I thought is was due to being over seas and a weak wifi connection. But that is not the case.
