Question WiFi calling option not present on Phone App - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Does anyone know how to turn on/activate WiFi calling on my S21 Ultra SM-G9980? TGY/TGY/BRI Sept. Patch.
On the weekdays I normally would be rural and would only have WiFi available. My provider, Vodafone, States that the phone is supported and confirmed that it's activated on all numbers.
Wifi Calling
Voice over WiFi. Make and receive calls or text messages in any location covered by Wifi, even when you don’t have a mobile signal. Wifi Calling with One NZ.
www.vodafone.co.nz
Contacted Samsung and was told that they can't help me... Typical.
I found that other users of the same phone in Australia got their VoWifi working so I'm not sure why the option is not showing on mine.

The option to enable WiFi Calling is not in the Phone App. It's in Settings - Connections, just below WiFi options, and VoLTE is in Settings - Connections - Mobile networks.

On my phone, WiFi calling setting is also present under Call Settings in the phone app (in addition to under 'Connections'). Maybe a CSC related difference.

Just checked mine, WiFi calling is indeed also present in Call Settings in Phone app.

Did you check for the settings under "Connections" instead of the phone app? May be a CSC related change...?

Under connections, there is no option for Voice over Wifi, only VoLTE.
There is no way to change it back to BRI, unfortunately but they're identical CSC as far as I know.

I think it's CSC specific. For example, I have the WiFi calling toggle on my phone, but there's not way to turn VoLTE on or off. It's permanently on by default (I'm on INU CSC)

Wish I knew buddy. Short of changing CSC or using a custom ROM, I'm not sure what one can do...

did you debloat some apps? If yes, the option will be lost in the phone app

I haven't debloated anything so far. Completely stock software. The option was present when I bought the phone. Disappeared after one of the ota updates. Samsung must've decided to nuke it for some reason. Dunno why tho.

Shouldn't one be able to revert a patch application using Smart Switch on PC? I never used it on Samsung, but I know this was an option on my old Huawei.

The G versions don't seem to be having issues with these features.

Volte not showing

Hi!
I bought the european version when it released, HD voice is working, but im not able to get Volte to trigger.
ive tryed *#*#4636#*#* bo acces "phone info" and "slide" the volte slider, but it´s greyed out.
I have talked to my provider and they said that it should work.
Has anyone similar problem?

When I try this *#*#4636#*#* nothing happens on my X2 Pro. I can see no slider. It's like I have entered nothing on my dialer.
Yes thats what happend to me aswell, but a workaround go acces the phone info, is downloading a app called "force LTE only"
in that way i manage to acces that menu, but my Volte is grayed out

The same entered in the same way, but it appears in gray and could not be activated, on the other hand already active 4g +
For xiaomi devices i used the following "code" VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*. ( to trigger volte)
Oppo/Realme/Oneplus devices maby have a similar code?
On Oneplus devices a fix is to acces
w/o root--> open the dialer: *#800# --> oneplus Logkit --> Function Switch --> enable VoLTE + VoWifi switch
But havent got it to work on my phone as yet.. (Guess it could work similar?, Oneplus, vivo, realme, all are from BBK)
Moment please. After installing this app the *#**#... procedure still doesn't open a special menu? You only get access to the VoLTE slider with this app?

Question Disable 5G

Hi,
recently bought the CN Version in Cosmic Mocha. Nice and beautiful phone. One thing is strange though . I can`t find an option to disable 5G. Something like "prefered network". I live in Germany without 5G contract and I only need 3G and 4G. There is only a 5G Network Mode Option but there I can only choose between "default", "NSA" and "NSA+SA". Never saw that before. No option to prefer 4G.

I don't know if this will work, but give it a try: type *#*#4636#*#* into your phone dialer and you should see toggles to disable 5G etc
Thank you for your tip .
Sadly the Code doesn't work for me. I know it from other phones but the Oppo doesn't seem to know it.

Try this one:
Settings > additional settings > backup and reset > erase all data (just click this, it has more options) > Reset network settings
After that restart phone and check again SIM card settings
Didn't help but thanks though.
Maybe it's because I own the CN Version of the Phone?
My internet speed is too slow on this device even website is opening on it. Give me proper solution for increasing internet speed without changing my phone. Thanks

you're kidding, right?
This is my speed with three using 5g
4G is best to watch any video in HD from any good website.
@tengaar I've managed to disable 5G.
You have to "enabled 5G switch", then enable développer option and you will get a switch to disable 5G

I changed it to the settings and restarted phone and still provisioned.
Clear Sim Toolkit data
Network reset and clear system cache.
AT&T may need to do a reset on their end.
That's all I got.

I don't know. The Note 10+'s I have were already configured for VoLTE when I got them as they ran on VoLTE from the start. Never really thought about it until talk of the shutdown started.
If you have AT&T tech support call advanced tech support; some of then know what they're doing.
Check your Access point settings too.
AT&T APN settings
On my AT&T NXTGENPHONE profile I found that instead of "hipri" (high priority) it had "fota" (Firmware Over-The-Air) which I don't want.
So I created a new profile and tested it. Instant download speed increase it seems... still testing.
APN typedefault,mms,supl,hipri
My original profile was set as IPv4/IPv6, which I used on my new profile instead of the AT&T suggested IPv4 only.
APN protocolIPv4
If you do this create a new profile with a different name so you can retain your original one too.
Don't forget to fill in any relevant spaces on the new and leave the blank ones blank unless you know better.

Code didn't work. What worked, though, is this Samsung Band Selection app from the Play Store. There's a VoLTE toggle accessible through that app. I wonder what Samsung is thinking, removing this very basic option for us.

They changed the code. An oversight probably, but who knows? Sammy's been forgetting all kinds of important things lately.

It's been removed by Samsung. I remember having it when i got the phone. Then an update (Android 11, not 12) removed the option altogether. There is currently no user facing method of toggling VoLTE, at least in India, where I'm from. It's just on by default. Don't know why this was done, but that's the way it is. Maybe with root app or some adb method, you may be able to access the setting. But for now I'm not aware of any regular method to do so
Huh...I don't what I'm missing here but I have this option...
On my S21U (998B) it it still there in A12, but it is called "call via 4G" (my translation of 'bellen via 4G') which is the same as VoLTE.
Not having the the VoLTE selection function could also be a CSC-thing...

You can actually access the toggle with a non-root app called Samsung Band Selection - it's in the Play Store.
I am facing the same problem —VoLTE toggle disappeared from settings (Nokia 6.1) since I changed sim Airtel to VI. Nokia 6.1 has Android 10 and Android One UI and support VoLTE on both sim simultaneously.
I don't think you are going to get much help here..better post this in that forum.

This is the correct answer.
I figured this out after a search through the phone settings.
The phone turns on Volte by default as soon as you switch to the 5G/4G modes for unlocked models in the US. You can verify this by going to
Settings >> About Phone >> Status Information >> Sim Card Status >> Mobile Voice Network Type
( or just use the search bar and type "Voice Ne" )
This will show "LTE" basically saying its Voice of LTE (VoLTE) . If you set your data mode to 3G/2G only, this shows "GSM".
So VoLTE is working on the unlocked models, there just isn't an option, its happening automatically. Really annoying tbh

It's self provisioning as long as the data on the sim card is correct. On my new N10+ all I did was put the sim card in and it was good to go.
A latter check showed it was properly configured.
Samsung has removed this option from phone. Although it works automatically i.e. if your network supporting the VoLTE it'll be automatically enabled and you'll see VoLTE icon next to signal bar.
