    puppymang replied to ronald's topic in Support

    verizon will only work with LTE. VoLTE should be toggled on. CDMA is no longer used by verizon and GSM isn't used by them

    Have you tried to enter Verizon in the search field here? There are whole threads discussing the issues with getting it to work e.g. https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2133-fxtec-on-verizon

    ronald replied to ronald's topic in Support

    Thanks! so i have a question regarding making calls which setting is the best on making calls using verizon? Ie like LTE, CDMA, GSM?

    You can change to a normal Navigation bar in Settings -> System -> Gestures -> Navigation mode. And, no, whatever troubles you have with connectivity in stock is not changed in Lineage, That stuff is in the blobs Lineage has no access to, I always had trouble with SMS on Verizon with the Pro1 (never tried on my Pro1x). That's why I gave up and deconverged. 😉
  5. puppymang
    i figured this is a long shot but after many years of keeping the old pro1 in the closet i decided to get around to installing LOS 21 and using the pro1 since the moto z3 verizon is locked and gets no OS updates. most things i want functioning work save for a few banking apps that detect root (most work with magisk) but i can live with that. I can't get SMS sending to work. I tried referring to a previous post about CDMA less provisioning but i realized that verizon has already retired CDMA to begin with so when i chatted with them they seemed lost. I can receive SMS and MMS as well

    I'm on 2degrees (Welcome Bay) on a Pro1X running LineageOS, and I've had missing SMS for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Discussions with Mrs MonCon revealed that some texts had disappeared into the ether, apparently delivered from my end, never received to her end. Like you, I put my sim into a backup phone and it worked, then back into my PrawnX and it worked. It's just started playing up again. On Friday I sent Mrs MC a few texts from the dining room to the lounge, and when we compared notes, again a few missing. Don't think I've been missing any incoming, but I'll ask around, and n

    Are you in the US and are you on Verizon? I ask because this was the problem I had when I used to try to have my Pro 1 on Verizon. It would work fine and then some aspect of the SMS would fail. Then it would come back without my being able to explain how and then, after a while it would break again. I gave up and put my Pro 1 on T-Mobile. Have never had SMS fail. This was back a couple of years before Verizon became so aggressive about whitelisting.
  8. Hook
    That may very well be a Verizon thing. I had Verizon working for a while on my Pro 1 and I hit a point where, a little different, I could send texts but couldn't receive them. My Pro1 on T-Mobile and my Pro1x on Ting work fine both in VA where I live and in CO Springs when I am visiting my son.

    I am on Verizon in central Colorado. I did solder two of the spring connectors back on that I found were broken off at the same time that I replaced my battery. I did all that before/in order to get my phone to turn on for the first time. Just seems weird that I can take calls, make calls, and receive text but can not send a text.
  10. Hook
    AT&T are pretty much out of the question. They are now the most aggressive white-listers and they will boot you. As I said before, people have gotten Verizon working, but, yes it has to be a SIM muled in a Verizon phone approved for ViLTE on their network, and then moved to the Pro1x. T-Mobile and their MVNOs are the only ones in the US that just work, Moving to Lineage still gets you the play store, using MineTheGapps 14 (see the begining of this thread). Other security intensive apps, I don't know. Depends on if they detect the unlocked boor-loader state (chances are, your boot

    Thanks...yeah when I asked FXTec about it before ordering, they said Verizon would work if you just swapped a SIM from a working phone. Which...doesn't work. Then several times over the last 1.5 years or so Francisco has variously said the issue would be fixed with a software update, or at one point saying the antenna would be replaced...which he later said he never said, but I kept the receipts on 😄 At any rate...say I was desperate enough to try to use a different carrier, like T-Mo or AT&T (which just don't have coverage as good as Verizon where I live, but probably work ok)...
  12. Hook
    Verizon is hit or miss. Some people have it working fine, Others have trouble. The OS won't make a difference, I have seen peple reporting that they get a notification from Verizon that the phone is unsupported, but so far not much evidence that there is any enforcement yet, When i had my Verizon SIM in my Pro 1, ages ago, it worked for a few months and then SMS broke. I gave up. I now use Ting in my Pro1x (which is T-Mobile). Here is the long Verizon thread: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2133-fxtec-on-verizon
  13. EskeRahn
    AFAIK The problem originally wasn't in the phone end, so the OS would not matter. And to make it worse some carriers are switching to 5G, not supported by Pro1/Pro1X. Some carriers only allow phones in they explicitly whitelist. To some extent a mule device have worked in tricking a carrier into allowing it in, but that trick worked better with 3G than 4G. At the baseline, it would require the carrier to allow it in, and the bands to be compatible. At some point FxTec told they had contact with a US carrier (I forgot if it was Verizon). But I have no idea why that did not end in a wh

    Anyone have any idea if switching from Android to Lineage would aid in the Verizon connection issue?
  15. oliviersenn6
    I am aware and I have it installed. Issue is the same across versions so I'm moving to the newer thread. Disregard my previous comment about it being fixed, it enabled me to send 1 SMS and it broke again a few hours later. Note that when I go to click smsc refresh, the text box only gets populated after I click "refresh". I looked up what vzw was because I didn't know how to set anything to it, and it seems related to Verizon? Not sure how that is relevant as Verizon is not my carrier nor is it a carrier at all in my country (France). I was also unable to learn how to set smsc

    After happily running my Pro1 since January 2020, I scored a new-open-box Pro1X on eBay. Of course it has default Android 11. What is the newest Android version for the Pro1X, and how do I install it? The reason I got the new phone was the original battery swelled in my Pro1, damaging the charging port and dislodging the keyboard. I ordered a new battery from F(x)tec, got it in about a week, and took the phone to UBREAKIFIX where they did an excellent job repairing it. Even though it works just fine, I figured it's time to semi-retire it. While the Pro1 was in for repair, I swapp

    The Pro1 is certainly capable of VoLTE, but it depends on both the carrier's willingness to let it onto their network and whether VoLTE has been provisioned in a way that will work on the Pro1 with their SIM card. In the past few years, more and more carriers have been moving to allow only whitelisted phones. Here in the US, with a Pro1 (or Pro1x) you can no longer use AT&T, You can use Verizon only if you have a SIM that has been activated in a a Verizon approved phone and moved to the Pro1 (and it doesn't always work). Only T-Mobile US and T-Mobile US MVNOs work well at this point. I

    Don't know if this is the problem, but it sounds like what would happen to me on my Pro1 when I used to try to mule it onto Verizon's network. That is exactly what would break and how it would break. On T-Mobile (USA), which has no problem with the Pro1 or Pro1x being on their network, no problems at all.

    I think it depends on where you live. I've read that people in the UK/EUR have had better luck with service but for me in Utah it wasn't the greatest. I even tried 3 different providers (Boost, Mint, and Verizon) and all 3 had the same issues with drop calls or no reception up to a minute continuously on and off. When I was able to connect to a call the other line would tell me I sounded like crap. Good luck on finding a case for it. Hopefully someone on here who's working on 3D printing is able to start selling them on here. I can't remember which case I bought but I remember I had

    My build number is Titan_Slim_20220812, so I assume mine is the non-EEA version. I am fabulously happy with this phone and am so glad I didn't go for the pocket (even though I have no idea if I would be fabulously happy with that one or not). Again, keep in mind my iuse case. It is my phone and text appliance, which means it is my 10% device. But it does what I really need--phone, contacts. texting, messaging, Android Auto-- extremely well. It gives me a quite usable keyboard for anything I might need on the go. I CAN use it for anything else, but only if I am running around and so n

    Glad to hear you worked it out. I am very happy with my Slim for the use case I have for it. My muled Verizon Sim works great, including data (I tested without Wifi). It curiously says in settings that it is Sprint, lol, but has the correct access point for Verizon and says Verizon wireless when it starts up and on the notification shade. Also, made one of the smoothest pairings I've ever had with Android Auto, If I am going to do really extensive writing or editing on a phone, it's going to be my Pro1x everytime, but for texting and even small writing/editing touch-ups while I am out

    @EskeRahn Wow. This is the first I've heard of this issue, and here you are, with it 😞 Upon investigation, I just found 11 updates on stock Android and went through a wifi-only update and all went well, every one. Nor have I seen any issues browsing on wifi. Granted, my experience was not based on 90+ waiting updates... I'm in the US, state of Maryland, using Verizon FiOS. I wonder if the Pocket uses slightly different internal hardware, though I can't imagine such a case.

    Aug 2023, I can confirm an old Pro1 has internet access (4-10 mbps down on Band 13) and makes calls on Verizon post paid, and Visible (plus) MVNO. Note Visible "unlimited" legacy SIMs used VBLINTERNET APN not VZWINTERNET and had massive device compatibility problems with the whole planet of Verizon retail and generic unlocked phones. Visible legacy SIMs will be shut down Aug 2023 or Sept 2023. Note a Pro1 only had band 4, not band 66, and probably very little Carrier Aggregation support. It will never be a speed demon on VZ except at 2 am in the morning. https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/ Aro

    That's great it is working for you there. My guess is your phone either hasn't found band 41 yet, or where you are doesn't have any LTE band 41 towers. Are there people reporting band 4 not working on Tmobile? Mine works okay on Band 4, both in Minnesota (multiple towers) and in SW Tennessee. It didn't work on band 41 in SW Tennessee and doesn't work on band 41 in Minnesota. I don't remember if it found a band 41 in Mississippi. I was using my Verizon 5G wifi hotspot most of the trip, so my Pro1X was using wifi more often than cellular.

    In summer, when I don't have jacket pockets, my pro1x is in my left front jeans pocket, my wallet and keys in my right front Jeans pocket and, since I am going to the car, my Moto Verizon slab is in my back jeans pocket. The Moto immediately comes out and is hooked up to the dashboard to provide Android Auto for calls and mapping. 🙂
