Re: Using the Idol 4s with W10M on AT&T
Lol! ^ Mine also has an IPhone 6+ in the last year and at the same time I've had the 950xl ( my 1st unlocked and now the X3) and haven't noticed any of this, will verify and I'll let you know, we both are on AT&T also by the way. What do you meant by adding the phone to the master tables ?

Re: Using the Idol 4s with W10M on AT&T
Maybe too much info, Is that what you were asking?
The Idol 4s from AT&T's end was not recognized as any device they have stored or mapped in their network of possible devices compatible with their LTE network. This is by the imei number set that identifies Alcatel's Idol 4s phones to model 6071w. There was just no record of it. I don't know exactly how it works not being in that field, but there is a block or set of imei numbers for all the 6071w phones. With the imei I gave them it allowed at&t to gather or generate the list or subset of numbers to identify my phone and other idol 4s phone model 6071w. Once done and populated whatever database or master record with those numbers allowed activating my imei with at&t so it shows up as a valid device and not just unknown. Otherwise according to the support guy entering my imei then caused it to default to a non-data device or no LTE.

Re: Using the Idol 4s with W10M on AT&T
For anyone who is curious, I figured out a way to enable AT&T VoLTE/HD Voice on my Unlocked IDOL 4s. I confirmed LTE holds while on a Voice call (not defaulting to 4G), I also confirmed ims registration to one.att.net is valid. I am still trying to test full functionality, and need a couple more days at least since I just enabled it today.

Re: Using the Idol 4s with W10M on AT&T
I picked up the Idol 4s last week and started using it on AT&T Wednesday. I'm in south-central Pennsylvania between Lancaster and Harrisburg. I'm happy with the phone so far (clear upgrade from the Lumia 520, 635, and 640 I've used) but I'm not getting great speed on LTE (see attached). Any tips you have would be appreciated. Also, what is the best camera app for this phone?

Were you ever able to get visual voicemail working?
Update: My VVM provisioned itself a few hours ago.

Re: Using the Idol 4s with W10M on AT&T
I would be very interested in your results and if you could post how you enabled the AT&T VoLTE/HD Voice. People I call tell me they have a hard time hearing me and i sound "muffled"

Re: Using the Idol 4s with W10M on AT&T
I will check on the LTE speed thing, I never really cared much about how slow webpages load and such so probably never noticed. I never had a video lag though...If you get band 12 in your area and are on LTE, try toggling roaming on to see if there is a difference in speed. Just curious.
Supposedly the best camera app could be ProShot (UWP app). But check out this thread for more on that.

It is more or less an interop hack, but you would need the IMEI of Lumia that gets Enhanced LTE services on AT&T for them to finish the provisioning.

What APN is set? I used to think it only occured when nxtgenphone was used. Then recently started getting it on the APN phone too.

Also the HD voice part is paired with other HD Voice compatible phones on AT&T. Only recently AT&T and Verizon announced inter-operability with Enhanced LTE services I think. For now I can conclude it works with other AT&T enabled devices and sounds just like any other HD voice compatible phone I have used on AT&T. Every time I call our iphone 7 it comes in loud and clear, and she says I sound the same.

Re: Using the Idol 4s with W10M on AT&T
So I am in basically Phoenix AZ. I get double the speeds you get right now. There are a couple of caveats here. I am on the T-Mobile ROM and Firmware. Not by choice...long story on that one...
I had no roaming enabled when I tested. Then I tested with roaming and got slower download speeds. So it could just be the fw for the T-Mobile settings. Signal strength is almost always 4 to 5 bars on this phone everywhere locally out here though. Also my apn is defaulted to nxtgenphone since VoLTE services is provisioned on it. Any changes from your end?

I've gotten up to 90Mbps down with an AT&T data SIM on my iPad. Location is east of Harrisburg over towards Philadelphia.
