It's not unique to your S8; I've had the same issue with my S7 - it's worse at home than it is when using hotspots (which tells me that my router is the issue). Since it's switchable, I swithc off VoLTE at home, but switch it ON when traveling.

Thanks I figured it out I had Automation Test and AuthService disabled which was causing the problem since they are enabled everything is working fine.

Nexus 6 UK EE WiFi Calling

Okay so it's official, EE are rolling out WiFi Calling to all iPhones in the next few days with an Apple update!
What I'm wondering is, can I use WiFi Calling on my Nexus 6 if my SIM is provisioned to use it? The latter is not a problem at all, but I'm wondering whether the software (Chroma 5.1 with Franco 26) is up to it!
Can anyone advise?
google will add wifi calling to the n6 when its ready for release. until then, there are apps for wifi calling, and hangouts as well.

My understanding was that the phone and software was already up to the task of handling SIP traffic. I'm just wondering what exactly needs to be changed to allow this. Hopefully Google won't hang around.

wifi calling is based not only on making calls from wifi, but from being on the network then the call connects to wifi, without dropping the call, then can go back to the network, without dropping the call. for that kind of wifi callung, you will also need framework for it. no app will do that for you.

CLT 09 c782 emui 9 and wifi callong EE

So I got the stock update this morning
So far it
Reset a a few permissions
Corrupted my Netflix device ID, voidingy downloads and forcing me to login again
But most annoying
Seem to have changed the WiFi calling policy
And only seem to switch to WiFi calling in the absence of 4G
Rather the use WiFi when it's available
Thought it is does show a WiFi dial button

Do you have any VOLTE calls from other mobile phones around you?
Volte all works.

Constant notifications "Wi-Fi Calling preferences updated to optimize network exp."

Constant notifications "Wi-Fi Calling preferences updated to optimize network exp."
So, aside from the common touchscreen and proximity sensor issues, I'm getting this notification constantly that is driving me crazy. If I swipe it away it comes back many times per day. It can't be disabled. I've seen reports of it, but it's not widespread. I've not had this issue on any of my other phones, Samsung or otherwise. The only way to get rid of it is to turn off Wi-Fi Calling. I suppose it could possibly be an issue with the wireless in my home. I use an eero router system. But like I said, it works with all my other devices no problem. Anyone else get this?
what carrier?
so notification pops up only when the wifi-calling is on?
try this:
download samsung members app from galaxy store, click get help (bottom), send report. once you submit a ticket, samsung will be able to tell you what is causing the issue.
Yeah I hate that it does this

I'm on T-Mobile. And almost every instance I could find of this issue on a Samsung device (via google search), the user was also using T-Mobile. And yes, it only happens when WIFI calling is enabled.

Are you also on T-Mobile?
T-Mobile here, and also having the same issue. I just muted/Silenced all the notifications, but they still pop up in the bar.
I have seen it a couple of times at home (also on T-Mobile), but this past weekend, when using a car hotspot (AT&T), it kept showing up over and over again.
S20 FE Unlocked purchased from Samsung directly. Just transferred from Verizon to T-Mobile. At my home, cellular signal is so weak that the phone is basically unusable for calls. Wi-Fi calling is a necessity so I set the Wi-Fi Calling network preference to "Wi-Fi preferred". It doesn't take long for these notifications to show up when the phone changes back to "Cellular preferred" mode on its own. My work around is to turn on Airplane Mode, wait for it to engage, then re-enable Wi-Fi. This works to keep Wi-Fi calling active and stops the constant notifications. I just have to remember to de-select Airplane Mode when I leave the house. A big PITA.
When I was on Verizon the phone would remain in whatever network preference I selected without issue.
i have a workaround for this using tasker, the catch being that you need to have the android 11 (one ui 3.0) update. if you're still on android 10, the custom setting this watches for doesn't exist yet...it was only introduced in the android 11 update.

Use tasker (or another automation app) to stop your phone from randomly changing the Unlocked Galaxy S20 WiFi Calling preferences!

T-Mobile WiFi Calling one way audio

After the connection switches between mobile and Wifi Calling, there is only one way audio, the other party can hear me but I cannot hear the other party. The only fix seems to be to reboot the phone, but after a while the problem is back.
It appears others have the same issues based on this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/lfm0i6
Any known workarounds short of disabling wifi calling completely?
It seems that if you turn off 5G and prefer LTE, the problem goes away, wifi calling works well. Curious if others are seeing the same things.

Unlocked has nothing to do with bugs. People got the phones form TMobile directly and have the same problems.
i used to have this problem, but I've been on Andriod 12 beta (release candidate that came out a few days ago), and the problem seems to have gone away. I've had no problem with WiFi calling for the last few days --- so I am keeping fingers crossed that there isn't an issue anymore.

Pixel 5 wi-fi calling on 3UK

Hi,
I'm seriously considering getting a good refurbished Pixel 5, but I would like to know if it's possible to set wi-fi calling preferences on 3UK.
To explain, I live in an area with very spotty cellular coverage so WiFi calling is a must have, but unless I can set the phone to prefer WiFi calling over cellular calling, I have to put my phone into airplane mode in my house because there is just enough cellular signal strength to prevent the phone from automatically using wi-fi for calls. Failure to use airplane mode results in many dropped calls because the signal isn't strong enough to support the call.
Any assistance gratefully received.
Thanks

So it's possible to set the preferences to use Wi-fi calling whenever there's a wi-fi connection, even if there's a weak cellular signal?
This is on the UK 3 network?
Thanks

It'll give you the option whether there's WiFi or not. It's either on or off.
Yes, 3uk
Thanks, but I don't think I explained my question very well.
What I'm wondering is, when you turn wi-fi calling on, is there another setting to prefer calling via wi-fi, or calling via cellular?
Cheers for your help.

I know this may not be what you're looking for but it may help..
I am on Pixel 5 Android 12L stock ROM
When turning WIFI Calling on, you get this menu option.
I'm imagining if have WIFI Calling options, then the menus would be the same, being the same phone/firmware.
But I obviously can't confirm.
Thanks!
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Which network are you on?

Shoot sorry, meant to include it in my post I'm sorry. I know I'm in the US, and I'm on AT&T, but I hope it does some helping!

Just a shot in the dark, but changing your default language to US English might work. Here in Canada I had to do that to get "Hold for Me" working

Thanks for the suggestion but I think the availability of the wi-fi calling preferences options are based on the mobile network.
I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S20FE because it has Bixby Routines, which lets me disable the cellular radios when the phone connects to my home WiFi network. Obviously, this isn't as elegant as allowing me to set a wi-fi calling preference.
The point is that this is a dual SIM phone - I've noticed that it offers wi-fi calling preferences for my O2 UK SIM but not for my 3UK SIM.
I don't think I'm going to get any luck with this unless I change network.
Thanks to all for your assistance.

Very interesting.
Now I don't use it, I should start looking into it, but I just don't have any uses off the top of my head, like what I foresee could work to your advantage.
Instead of Bixby, why not give tasker a try? It should be able to allow you to do what Bixby does and probably more.
You should def. be able to set up a Tasker "Routine" that allow you to disable the cellular radio when you connect to WIFI network, and maybe even a Tasker for setting the WIFI calling preference?
I wish you the best of luck with everything!

I actually tried Tasker first (I've used it many times over the years) but it isn't able to toggle Airplane mode without having to either root the phone or grant specific permissions via ADB (each time the phone is rebooted).
In case you are wondering, I have configured Airplane mode to leave WiFi and Bluetooth untouched, so it actually only toggles the cellular radio on and off.
Since Bixby Routines are "baked in" on Galaxy devices, it has no restrictions on setting Airplane mode on/off. Obviously, this solution is only available on Galaxy devices, which is why I'm using this S20FE 5G as my daily driver at the moment.
With any other devices, I have to remember to turn airplane mode on when I'm at home to force wi-fi calling. The problem is that I often forget to turn airplane mode off again when I'm out and about.
Thanks again to everyone for your help and suggestions.

I'm not familiar with Bixby but it sounds awesome! Great feature.
