Lost WiFi Calling With T-Mobile GDR2 Update

[Eric J F]

A warning to anyone with WiFi Calling on their T-Mobile HTC 8X- Don't do a hard (factory) reset after the update! I did and lost WiFi Calling.

For some background: I was one of a small number who got the mistakenly released March update. It enabled WiFi Calling on my 8X, which T-Mobile says officially it doesn't support. It was buggy, but useful. I can only hope they give it back, but I'm not counting on it.

Sorry to hear you lost that feature. Thank you for sharing the information with the community.

I am one of the few who got the update for WiFi and hard reset my Tmo 8x to enable it (and clear temp folder). After the GDR2 update I still have WiFi calling. Also after GDR2 my Temp storage dropped by 2GB.

What country are you in? T-Mobile US apparently removed it.

No, I'm Tmo US also.

Did you hard reset after GDR2, though?

I had to hard reset after the March update to enable WiFi Calling, but when I did it after GDR2 it removed WiFi Calling.
