Re: Voice on Nokia 225 no longer working.
My 225 is working on 4G VoLTE now too! Yay to whoever fixed the bug. Now that I'm back on 4G, my incoming text messages are back to having a time stamp 2 hours before they actually are sent/arrive. Does anyone else have this problem? It may be because my area code is a US pacific time area code, but I live in US central time. I tried to fix this before with no luck. Timestamps are not wrong when using 2G.41Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Voice on Nokia 225 no longer working.
Oh, my mistake, the Nokia 225 has something called System 30+ OS, not KaiOS. KaiOS is what those crap flip phones like the Cingular Flip 4 or Alcatel Go Flip use. Those are terrible products (slow, texting is hard, counterintuitive interface), but they do work on VoLTE, or at least they did a couple months ago. MRL, when you say that Google made a change to its VoLTE specification, what do you mean… how is Google involved with these cell phone networks?18Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Voice on Nokia 225 no longer working.
Okay, if it's KaiOS, what changed? And how did my phone receive this change? The past few days, the phone has been displaying this message: "Settings update available. Update?" (or something similar). When I choose to update, it says, "There was a problem with your memory card. Update failed" (or something similar). Hey, thanks. Still plugging away on 2G for now. Works when there is a signal, which is in most places12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Voice on Nokia 225 no longer working.
Update: I drove to an event around 3 hours away yesterday, out in the country. When I arrived, I had no signal. But lo and behold! VoLTE had turned itself back on (I didn't switch anything). Excited, I waited until I got back in range, and made a call to my wife. VoLTE was still on. But the call didn't work anyway. I heard nothing. Later, she said it rang, but was just a dead line when she tried to answer. After a couple of tries like this, I turned the phone off and on. When it came back on, VoLTE was gone. This suggests that the 4G network signal is the thing bricking VoLTE on the 225. Once I lost the signal, perhaps the phone was able to go back to VoLTE without interference from the network. Thanks to those who suggested switching to 2G. This works, though as people said, the signal can be spotty. In fact, I have gotten my Nokia 105 (3G and below only) to work again in the US (even though, supposedly, it does not use US frequencies - it's a European model). Since the 105 is pretty much identical to the 225, except smaller, it's a better choice. Finally, switching to 2G fixes the problem of incoming texts having the wrong timestamp. So it seems that the weird text timestamps are a 4G issue as well.7Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Voice on Nokia 225 no longer working.
I am having the exact same problem. Nokia 225 worked with VoLTE for a month or so, then stopped. VoLTE was not using any data, so it doesn't have to do with data. The problem must be with the network itself. Wonder if anyone has this phone working with AT&T or Verizon? Interestingly, I used to have Tello, where the Nokia worked on VoLTE. When that stopped, after a week or so of outage, I switched to T-Mobile itself. When I switched, VoLTE worked for maybe 4 more days. Then stopped. How could that be? The phone will now occasionally make calls using the ancient E or G networks, but I seem to have no control on whether or how it accesses these older networks. Also, their coverage and quality is poor. Texting works fine, except the timestamps on the incoming texts are wrong by an hour or two. However, this timestamp problem predates the VoLTE issue. Has anyone solved this?11Visto0likes0Comentarios
