3G reception with Wifi on - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Whenever I turn on the Wifi on my Nokia 8 and connect to any wifi hotspot whilst my phone is on 3G UMTS, the 'Mobile network type' under SIM status (found in About phone -> Status) would show 'IWLAN'. My mobile signal app (Network Signal Info by Kaibits) would not show any network mode.
I must note that I have no trouble receiving or making calls on 3G whilst leaivng Wifi on. However, I do not have VoWifi (Voice over Wifi) enabled, and Telstra (my carrier) does not support VoWifi on the Nokia 8.
What's happening here?

I have this behavior as well. I assumed that the modem is kicking down to the lower speed data network to save power. As soon as I turn WiFi off, it switches back to the faster data network.

Galaxy Note 5 don't auto switch 3G to 2G when weak 3 sign ( in 3G/2G auto Mode)

Hi all,
I have a Note 5 N920C. My country use 2G and 3G network.
I go to setting > Mobile Network > Network Mode, select 3G/2G auto connect (or LTE/3G/2G auto connect).
When 3G sign weak, My device don't auto switch to 2G Mode. So, When i go to places that have very weak 3G signal, I can not make a Call or Receive a Call because 3G no have any bar, but device don't switch it to 2G.
I'm sad, because each time so I had to switch manually to 2G Only Mode.
Please help me!
Thanks!

4G not enabled when wi-fi is on

HI all,
On february 16 my provider network SFR (French in Paris) had some issues, I lost my gsm and 4G and since I can't turn on 4G and Wi-Fi on my HTC at the same time as I used to do before, now the 4G icon disappear when the Wi-Fi is turned on and I can read " Use my data plan when Wi-Fi isn't available" instead of "connected".
It seems that the 4G is in sleep mode, the icon comes again and data "connected" if I receive or send a MMS then disappear again.
If the wi-fi is turned off, I have the data "connected" with the 4G icon, as usual.
I have reset the SFR apn, still same, I have contacted their support, they say that it's normal for a smartphone to use Wi-Fi and not 4G all together, but I did when i wanted !
Now I can't, is any of u had this problem, know the cause and how to solve it?
Thank u in advance.
Do you have an option of automitically connect to 4G when wi-fi is poor turned on? It is in wi-fi's advanced options

How can I neable just 3G/4G network mode on my SM-N920G?

Hi
I'm trying to get the best Internet connection on my phone. My carrier doesn't support voice over LTE so if I set the Network mode to LTE only I got no calls incoming or outgoing.
The other options I have are 2G only or 3G only, which makes my LTE data plan useless.
Best option is to have it configured to 2G/3G/LTE, but the problem is that when I'm usually stuck with an excellent 2G connection (with useless internet), instead of a not lousy/not great 3G connection, which still has better Internet speed and stability than 4G.
I'm looking to have my phone only see 3G/4G and not 2G, but I don't have a network mode for that. How can I enable the network mode I require?
I'm rooted so if I can enable it somewhere in the system, that is an option.
Thanks in advance

Mobile data turns off while on call when on 4G network

I recently noticed that in my OP3T when someone calls, mobile data gets disconnected while on 4G network. When a call is initiated, 4G immediately changes to H+ and stays there for sometime(10 - 30 secs) and then disconnects completely. And when the call is disconnected, mobile data reconnects showing 4G.
The call and data are being used from the same sim (primary). To make sure that second sim is not interfering, I disabled the second sim and tested above scenario again and the behavior was same, data disconnects on call.
Is it an expected behavior or is there any issue with my mobile. As far as I know call and data cannot work together on 2G network, but on 3G/4G network it should work simultaneously as long as both data and call goes through same sim.
P.S. The 4G network I am on is not VoLTE. I am on OxygenOS 4.5.

If it's not VoLTE, it'll drop to a 2G signal (H symbol) or 3G (H+) while on a call, precisely because you don't have voice over LTE.
Yes, it's normal and will be fixed when operators start supporting VoLTE.
So yes, you're not the only one that's experiencing this.

Force 4g+ / LTE advanced

how do i force 4g+ / LTE advanced connection on this phone? such that whenever i turn on my mobile data it connects to 4g+ automatically and stays connected and doesn't fall back to 4g network?
reason for this is : my phone connects to 4g network and i get 1-2Mbps speed. With 4g+ i get 15-20Mbps but i have to restart my phone to connect to 4g+ network. So it gets annoying having to restart the phone again and again just so to connect to 4g+

Dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and choose LTE only from list.
Hi
4636 not working for realme (not for me) but xiaomi phones. Download 4g switcher from playstore. It looks like the hidden menu in xiaomi phones.
