hi All
is there any way to force wifi calling preferred i can se wifi calling option and is all working just fine but i would like to have that on in home
i did change mode from -1 to 2 via adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2 but after reset it goes back to -1
my network EE UK
my sister bought same phone from O2 and she can choose wifi calling preferred under wifi calling option
samsung s10+ smg975f
There's a way to set it on my phone, but I am in the U.S. on AT&T. All I do is turn wifi calling on in the drop down toggle menu on the notification shade when connected to wifi.
I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wikimediacom.wifi.calling&hl=en and it surprisingly works on my s10+
On my old Note 8(dual sim), one of my operators allowed the setting and the other did not. I just enabled wifi preferred and swapped my sims.

Looks like wifi calling preferred option in not available for my carrier anymore
I pop in my wife O2 UK sim card and bang I got wifi preferred or mobile preferred under wifi calling toggle but as soon I pop in my sim EE UK is gone so my carrier did something to disable that

Hi folks, I'm having a bit of difficulty or confusion with wifi calling. I'm on EE but my phone is an XEU. There was a wifi calling option that didn't seem to do anything; no icon when enabled and no obvious network connection.
So I switched to the EVR firmware, wiped the phone and set up from scratch. Still got the same wifi calling option, still no icon or network activity with it enabled.
I don't seem to have VoLTE either, I would have thought the EVR CSC would enable that too?
Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks.
I have been having weird issues too with a dual SIM version and EE Wi-Fi calling. Inserting a microSD card in second slot can sometimes disable Wi-Fi calling in that I don't even see the option for switching on.
Hopefully future firmware fixes these glitches as I'm really loving this phone after using iPhones for a few years .

Wifi calling and VoLTE enabled itself after a serendipitous restart today.
Did your wifi calling ever actually work without an EVR CSC or firmware @ajdjackson ?
Edit: Looks like EE had some stuff to set up on my account, problem was at their end. My account says they're setting up roaming and could take up to 24hrs so something has happened to instigate these changes.
Anyway, now I'm really wondering if I need to EVR firmware at all. Samsung's multi CSC system should allow EE's wifi calling but EE would insist that it doesn't. Can anyone chime in?
Yes - strangely mine seems to working OK now even with the sd card in second sim slot. I haven't flashed any firmware at all.

Right, after a switch back to XEU I can confirm that EE Wifi Calling does work on a non EE phone but VoLTE does not!
So I switched back to EVR and everything's working fine again.
Quite surprising since EE have always insisted that Wifi Calling is exclusive to phones supplied by them, yet I've never read the same about VoLTE.
Hiya,
Just thought I'd share my experiences...
Like you, I'm also on EE and again like you my NOTE 8 is an XEU SIM free model, in my case from CPW. I found the same issue in that the wifi calling option could toggle on and off but the setting didn't seem to do anything; no icon when enabled and no obvious network connection.
I phoned EE on 150 for support but all they could suggest was to reboot my router at home even though I told them I also have a "work's" mobile phone (iPhone 5c) also on EE and that combination does have working wifi calling.
I decided to try a test to determine if the issue was with my Note 8 handset or with my new EE 4G SIM by swapping SIM's between the two phones. The work SIM worked immediately by activating wifi calling in my Note 8. My personal SIM was active in my works iPhone for approx. 2-3 minutes with no signal before a pop-up message appeared asking if I wanted to activate wifi calling. I obviously selected 'Yes' and when I swapped the SIM's back to their original handsets my Note 8 now magically works with wifi calling with the original SIM.
It's almost as if the menu item in the Note 8 for toggling wifi calling on and off doesn't activate the sim card even though the graphic animates to show the function activated.
Anyways, I now have a Note 8 with working wifi calling.
Hope that helps anyone else with similar issues involving EE wifi calling.
*EDIT* Hehe looks like my signature is a little out of date.

Thanks Steve. Do you have VoLTE? I can't get that working without swapping the firmware for the EVR specific one.

Hmm I don't know. I know that I have 'Mobile Networks' setting 'Network mode' set to 'LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)' as opposed to the other settings of '3G/2G (auto connect)', '3G only' or '2G only' but how can you tell if a voice call is routed over 4G? Does a special icon appear as in the case of wifi calling? Hard for me to say as I have zero signal at home and very poor signal at work so in both cases my Note 8 defaults to wifi calling.
Have you tried calling EE to check if VoLTE is only supported on branded firmware as opposed to generic XEU? I know that in the case of wifi calling their website is very explicit in stating that wifi calling is not only supported on EE branded/sourced handsets but also works on certain generic handsets such as S8 / S8+ & Note 8. Their website on VoLTE or as EE term the service '4G calling' is not so clear...

This EE Community Forum post seems to lay the blame at Samsung's door as opposed to EE's...
https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/4G-and-mobile-data/VoLTE-on-Samsung-Galaxy-S8/td-p/559521
Reading the thread fully, it seems VoLTE is only available on EVR and not XEU.

Yes, this shows the VoLTE icon which appears whenever I have no wifi or I disable wifi calling.

The discussion on EE you linked is interesting, so they do limit VoLTE to their own supplied phones. I'd recommend switching to an EVR firmware, despite the guy who says there's no advantage for the user, I've found VoLTE very useful, especially in conjunction with Wifi calling. VoLTE/Wifi calls are so much clearer, they can seamlessly switch if you lose the wifi signal and they seem to connect a bit quicker too.

Ahh there is a symbol, thanks for sharing the picture. I can confirm that do not get VoLTE and whilst it would be good to have every function that I pay for working the fact that I get zero 4G signal at home and at work where I spend 90% of my time means I'm not realistically going to miss VoLTE as my phone now has a working 'wifi calling' service. I suppose that if EE ever get round to providing coverage in the blackspot that surrounds my home location then I might consider swapping to EVR firmware. I won't hold my breath though because in the 20 years that I have lived at my current address, EE and Orange before them haven't bothered with trying to provide adequate cellular coverage.
I remember going through exactly the same crap with my Samsung Galaxy S2, Orange firmware got an app called signal boost and the vanilla xeu firmware didn't and we had to do a number of things to get the app ported over to XEU. Seems like no matter how much technology advances over the years some issues never change.:silly:

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

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?
Not a question, but an FYI.
I bought the dual sim version (CLT-L29) of the Huawei P20 Pro in the UK, from clove.co.uk
FYI (hoping it’s useful to other people): I have tested it with the 3 major networks in the UK, and wi-calling works with all 3, even if the phone is an unlocked dual-sim version, not bought from the networks.
At least where I use it, Vodafone has the best indoors signal. Outdoors, Vodafone and EE are about the same. Three is by far the worst, both indoors and outdoors.
EE: I get no icon about wi-fi calling, neither in stand-by nor during a call, but I am sure wi-fi calling works because I managed to call while in an underground station, where there was wi-fi but not mobile signal.
Three: no icon that wi-fi calling is available, but the small text “wifi” appears when making a wi-fi call.
Vodafone: icons and notifications about wi-fi calling being available come and go multiple times. Sometimes I can get 4 notifications, with the phone vibrating, in 10 minutes. It’s very annoying. I had to go to setting -> apps -> more -> show system processes -> phone -> notifications -> wi-fi calling and disable all the options (display in status bar, etc.) to make sure I don’t get these continuous notifications. However, I tested wifi calling in an underground station, with a wifi connection but no mobile signal, and it worked.
In all 3 cases, I enabled wifi calling opening the dialler -> 3 vertical dots at the bottom right -> Sim 1 (or 2) -> wifi calling
Wifi calling was already enabled by default with EE and Three; with Vodafone, it was tricky: I tried enabling it from the Vodafone website and from the Vodafone android app, but it didn't work. What worked for me was the online chat with Vodafone's support, who enabled it on their end. Odd.
Another thing I noticed is that, on my old Samsung Galaxy s7 edge dual sim, only the sim which connects to the internet could have wifi calling. Here no, both sims can have wifi calling enabled at the same time.
Wait till your on Android 9, i deffo get a Wifi calling on this.
I didn't understand - what did you mean?
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?
Hello
I just got this phone and set it up. Its a Global version 13.0.4 SKDMIXM.
I am on TMoblie USA - the phone is working great on LTE and 5G .
I am not able to see the Network preference under wifi calling where is can select Prefered Wifi Calling.
It appears that its running on default Prefered Cellular - because I can only see the VoLTE symbol on top.
Can someone help me in fixing this configuration to select Prefered Wifi Calling ? TIA

Hello, I'm using a 11T Pro Dual SIM India model with India SIM in Slot 1 and TMO SIM in Slot 2.
I have not found the specific setting to make Wifi Calling "Preferred" but, my phone does indicate Vo WiFi even when I have Wifi connected and Mobile Data turned on too once Wifi Calling is enabled as below.
Apparently the Voice Over WiFi Settings (at least here on my phone) only show up for SIM 1, does not show for SIM 2.
Attached are sample screenshots where the Settings are under SIM 1.
Steps to get there-
Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Click on SIM 1
All the way down, last Setting is "Wi-Fi Calls" to enable "Make calls using Wi-Fi".
Hope this helps.

Operators can disable this menu if they want to lock you onto Wifi preferred or cellular preferred. Does this only happen with this phone or does it also happen with the SIM in another Android phone?

There's a possibility of TMO-US not supporting WiFi calling on the Xiaomi 11T (Global), perhaps.
Although, I have been using various Unlocked phones (Nokia & Samsung) on TMO-US for the past few years & have practically never had issues with WiFi calling on any. Shall have to test it once I'm back. Won't be for some time.
Is your phone on the latest firmware? Try updating it to check if there's a new update available
which hopefully can solve your issue.
Couple of options to test, in case you have not already tested them-
a) leave WiFi Calling Enabled then disable the VoLTE feature and check if WiFi calling works?
b) disable Mobile Data, WiFi Calling enabled with WiFi connected and check if WiFi Calling works.
c) some users have had to ensure their E911 address is correctly in place on the TMO account too.

I had a working One Plus 6 - so I know TMO has VoWifi - I use it a lot due to poor reception at home .
The current workaround to force VoWIFI is
Turn On Airplane MOde
Turn ON WiFi only
then it works in VOWIFI with out any issues
I know I am missing a menu Item that can toggle this setting . I would prefer having that setting but its not a breaker for now . The phone works with all the Network features of TMO , LTE , 4G , 5G etc . No visual voicemail thats all.
Thanks
