WiFi Calling Issues

Hey guys, so just curious, is there a way to force WiFi calling? My signal sucks in my house but my WiFi is awesome. Supposedly the device will prefer mobile signal if it is strong enough, but you can't physically choose WiFi calling to be default.
If anyone knows anything, let me know. I'm on EE.

when at home if you want wifi calling to kick in instead of celluar, do the following but it is a pain to remember to do it each time
Turn on Airplane mode
Turn on Wifi
Turn on Bluetooth (if you use bluetooth)
when you leave house, just turn off airplane mode

You can set it to prefer WiFi instead of mobile network, I don't know if it really works, my p20 pro is choosing WiFi always, even if both of signals are 100%

have wifi calling enabled, but if I don't want it to keep switching to cellular while at home, i have to switch to airplane mode, then re-enable both wifi and bluetooth. it then works, but have to remember to keep switching
you may not see wifi calling in the notification area, but when you make a call you will get the wifi notice showing

does it say wifi calling?
Has your provider allowed wifi calling on the device?
Also make sure you have enabled the option in the network settings and check under the default dialer wifi calling is enabled

Under Sim 1 there is a setting called Wi-Fi calling and it should say enabled, if not choose it then enable feature
You can also get to this from the default dialler by choosing settings

I think that's your problem, O2 do not support wifi calling on the device, both Three UK and EE do, not sure about VF either

do you still have the 3 sim? if not are you able to get one for testing?
I've attached screenshot showing the wifi calling option on the phone with Three sim installed

Call carrier support / Check firewall
I had to call vodafone. After some time they decided to disable wifi calling feature for my account for a couple of minutes and re-enabled it. That worked for me. My phone instantly logged into wifi calling again.
Also make sure that outbound connections to port 500/4500 are not being blocked by any firewall/router.

How do you set Wifi to be preferred instead of cellular?

Just got my New Note 9 F/DS question about wifi calling

Hello everybody,
I just got my new Note 9 . I read almost on all forums that the dual sim version doesn't come with wifi calling. I'm using my Note 9 on T-Mobile network in the east coast. While exploring the phone I saw the wifi calling option is available to be turned on.
Does this mean that my phone can do a real wifi calling? Because on my old Note 3 when I do wifi calling the wifi calling icon would show up on the phone calling key but with the Note 9 it doesn't so I'm not sure if it even work or not on Note 9.

@Bunker Buster
There should be a WI-FI Calling icon in the status/notification bar during a WI-FI Call.

I don't see the wifi icon on my note 9. I guess I don't have wifi calling. But there is the switch/option to turn on. Thanks for the info

So I have to root my Note 9 to be able to use the WIfi calling?

May update enabled WiFi calling on my SM-N950F/DS (T-Mobile)

I have an international (gold) unlocked dual SIM and I thought I was hallucinating today when my phone got the May Android update and suddenly there was an option for Wi-Fi calling in Phone settings. I didn't think it would work but it definitely is at least on T-Mobile as I see "T-Mobile WiFi Calling" when I pull down the notification shade and calls work in airplane mode (with WiFi on).
Super stoked as this definitely didn't work before. Anyone else see this?

Why didn't wifi call work before?
I have a n950f and a German t-mobile sim
Wifi calling always worked

Different device than my SM-N950F/DS. Samsung didn't enable WiFi calling in settings in the dial SIM model until now that is.

Good to know, thanks!

after updates it doesn't show on my call settings. did you do anything different?

When I'm on WiFi, I can't receive calls

Hello, I've only just finally figured out that while my unlocked pixel 4 xl connected to wifi, i cant receive calls, I can receive while i am using the phone with WIFI, but once i leave the phone go to sleep and connected to wifi, then my phone can not receive the calls and unreachable.
I have tried to change the network mode to 3G while i am connected to wifi, and it seems solved the issue.
While i am not connected to wifi (LTE) i have no issues at all.
I have unlocked Pixel 4 XL with Jan update (latest build) rooted through Madisk, stock kernals and everything
is there any solution to this? I've searched through forums and this subreddit but have yet to find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe try turning off wifi calling if it's enabled?

Sounds like your phone is trying to make a call over Wi-Fi but your carrier (or SIM) may not support Wi-Fi calling. Where are you located and which carrier? Using the dialer, use the following code to check your provisioned status: *#*#4636#*#* If Wi-Fi calling is toggled OFF and you cannot change the setting (grayed our) then it will not work. Ask your carrier directly if they support it.

I have tested more to find out where the issue is happening, i connected to other wifis , and the issue was not reported, the issue the only in my apartment, and only when i am connected to lte, on 3g no issue, and once i leave my apartment, i can receive calls on lte normal, this strange, i was having the original pixel with no issues such, and my wife having iPhone and doesn't have this issue,i have tried her sim card (from the same provider) and the same issue
Now when i go home, i have to switch the network mode to 3g to be able to receive calls, otherwise it will show out of coverage.
I spoke with network provider, and they told this issue we with the phone, and its ture, since inwas using the same network in my original pixel, and the issue was never happened
Please help to advise.
Thanks

Turn off wifi calling on your phone. I had a similar problem with my unlocked pixel 4xl on Verizon and that solved the problem

I don't have wifi calling option enabled under mobile settings, my operator doesn't support wifi calling.

What is the provisioning status of Wi-Fi calling in the phone diagnostic menu ( *#*#4636#*#* ). Is the toggle on or off? Is it grayed out?

Its grayed out and toggled off

What country do you live in, and which carrier do you use?
I would do a network reset in settings under the reset menu. If that doesn't work, backup and do a FDR from recovery.

In my case, it's on and greyed out.

Volte/WiFi calling

Hi, guys.
Just wondering if any of you have working VOLTE/WIFI calling on your Pixel 5.
I'm on Vodafone UK and none of these are working, I don't get the options for the two in Network settings.
Apparently, they are not provisioned ATM.
Have you had more luck with your operators?

all working for me on 3

Yeah, I had a feeling going with Vodafone is a mistake...

Working here with O2. They have a guide on the Vodafone website for the Pixel 4 so can't see why it doesn't work with the 5. https://deviceguides.vodafone.co.uk...ress the phone icon.&text=Press Wi-Fi calling.

Well, it's Vodafone. Apparently one of their geniuses has to add a line of code somewhere..
Anyway, the guide for P4 asks for activation from within the phone app's settings and the Wifi calling/Volte settings are missing from there on the Pixel 5.

On BT Mobile i have Wi-Fi calling after turning it on in the mobile network settings, the VoLTE option is also there, it is greyed out but set to the on position.

No VoLTE, tried it whilst out and about and the call quality was terrible after being used to it for so long.

I'm on iD mobile who use Three. I can see that volte and wifi calling have been provisioned and i have the option for turning wifi calling on but can't see an option for turning volte on.

Have you checked on the settings of the phone app?

Yup been through all the options and can't see it!

It seems it's different for every operator, I can only suggest to give ID a phone call..

I'm on 3, have no issues at all

Wifi Calling
works on my P5, also a 3 user
option is found under Settings, Network and Internet, Mobile Network, Advanced, Wi-Fi Calling

I'm on Vodafone and I don't have settings for WiFi calling either. Funnily enough when I got text message from Vodafone to download internet settings they didn't even have the pixel 4a/ 4a 5g or 5 on there.. so that's probably why people on Vodafone can't enable it because Vodafone themselves haven't added the phones on for WiFi calling

Check out this thread on Vodafone forum, will try it myself and see if it works

Okay so update for Vodafone users, I got it working.
Following the second link above, 1. Go into Vodafone app and turn off WiFi calling, restart phone. 2. Go back into Vodafone app and turn back on WiFi calling (wait for 3/5 minutes and then restart phone again (you should receive a text from Vodafone saying it's enabled on your account). 3. Go to call app > settings> calls>WiFi calling>enable.
It also shows on networking settings in advanced now too.
Now I'm connected to WiFi calling, hope this helps Vodafone users

I'm one of the persons that posted on that thread .
It works for me now. Just try the following:
On MyVodafone app, disable wifi calling and immediately restart the phone. Then enable it again and immediately restart the phone. The Wifi calling settings should appear on Settings/Network and Internet/Mobile network (Vodafone)/Advanced.
At least they have in my case.

Well thank you in that case, resolved that issue easily

Happy to help, it's fkin frustrating to be in your house with only edge signal, hardly able to have a phone conversation, waiting for Vodafone to do its job.

What an arse i am, turns out the other caller was using their phone on speakerphone, made a few calls since and VoLTE is working just fine on BT Mobile.

Neither is working for me as well, but was working fine on my old phone.
What I noticed on my device is that it came from Google with the "KDDI only" build on it(see https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-5/help/kddi-variant-t4178033), which I suspect might be related to the issue.

I don't think so. The model of my phone is RD1A.200810.021.A1. Let me guess, is this the same as yours?
PS: what network are you on?
