Hi I have a refurbished S10 from the iOutlet, works OK apart from WiFi calling. I can hear the other caller but they find the conversation at a very low level and distorted. Works fine externally using a 4G signal which rules out the microphone and WiFi calling is spot on at home for my wife on her iPhone 11 Pro which clears the router. I have tried the usual things, switching WiFi calling off and back on, taking the sim and even factory reset the phone. I have noticed that the phone must have been on O2 from new as the firmware appears to be customised with none removable O2 apps. I also noticed that the wifi calling symbol is not constant and flickers - could the O2 modified firmware affect WiFi calling, I'm on a Smarty mobile sim, the same used to happen when I was on EE a few months ago, thanks

During phone calls, my wife's phone drops audio (both ways) for a few seconds. This seems to happen randomly and occurs between mobile to mobile and mobile to landline. She is running stock 5.1 and the issue has persisted through a factory reset.
Anyone have any ideas?
Same. I think it's a nexus 6 thing with our radios. I haven't been impressed with the call quality and signal...
What carrier? Are you using VoLTE?
Vzw, I have it turned off.
Verizon with VoLTE provisioned. Maybe we can turn it off
What is really odd is that it occurs on non-VoLTE calls (mobile to land line).

Still using VOLTE (4G) on your end. I had same problem so turned it off and problem went away. Flashed back to original radio instead of Verizon build.
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:

Hello everyone,
Recently, I experience the issue with some of the my calls. The model is SM-N950U1, and I'm using it with T mobile. When I received the call from any numbers, The quality is really bad. I can barely hear them saying anything. I have to drop the call and redial again and it is good as normal.
Are you at home or away from from home. Is Wi-Fi calling on or off I have the same phone have not had issues but rarely talk on phone much. Usually it's a network issue not a phone issue
Same setting here (N950U1 unlocked used on TMO network). I have no call issues, not on 3G, LTE+, nor via WiFi calling.

Any new case you just started using? Is it happen everywhere? Or just home or work? New apps you just started using?
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant same configuration (phone - operator) and NO issues...
All calling works perfect, no poor sound.
I already turned off the Wi-fi Calling, and I think the issue is still there. It happens more often when I'm talking with the Bluetooth headset
I wish extra volume would stick and not have to turn it on every call smh.
Can you barely hear the caller?
Do what the Samsung repair people do:
Use a soft bristle brush and gently wipe the ear piece with rubbing alcohol. It will remove dirt & grime from the mesh.
What do others think of the Wi-Fi calling service on the device. I find it absolutely appalling with 98% of calls failing, breaking up or poor quality.
Anyone else experience the same issues

Nope. Works perfectly for me
Which network u with and which ISP?
I'm on Three UK with Sky as ISP
I've been told by Three UK that if got minimum signal then WiFi calling won't work properly and device will keep switching between mobile network and WiFi.
They also said to switch to airplane mode then re-enable WiFi and Bluetooth.
They also wanted me to try different WiFi network which I can't do.
Sent from my Huawei P20 Pro using XDA Labs
Works brilliantly for me on EE and Virgin, much better than the S7 Edge I came from.
I don't have a setting for wifi calling, even though I did with the same network on my iPhone. Any ideas?
So One thing I discovered on this new phone of mine is that although working perfectly there is a major flaw in the way Internet data works during a phone call.
Any time you make a call, the phone downgrades the active signal from 5G/4G to H or E ( GSM).
Which in turns cuts off the data.
If I force 5G or 4G, then the phone call cannot be made. It just disconnects.
I have tried all settings, Volte enable/disable with no joy.
Some have said it's a carrier limitation, but it's not, cause in my iPhone, the very same simcard works just fine and the Internet is usable during a call.
Also tried with dual Simcard setup. As in the settings, the phone allows to use one simcard for data and one for call. Still not working.
Can someone please tell me if there is a solution please, or can you try your phone while on the call to see if Internet works as this feature is detrimental to me keeping the phone. If this doesn't work I will be selling the phone and getting a realme replacement.. Xiaomis sometimes suck with their non existent support.
Thanks

This comes from the operator who has not yet communicated with Xiaomi.
Same case with 2 operators on the same phone.
What version of rom?

Global ROM 13.0.4
I can't see an operator fault if they have Volte services enabled and this simcard works flawlessly on other android systems.
As a matter of fact, any SimCard i have tried, so far 3 providers and the phone does the same thing. As soonest the call is made it downgrades the signal to H while full 5G or 4G is available??

the operator must provide the necessary information for each brand and phone to activate Volte and Wowifi.
On my 11t pro everything works with SFR and nothing with FREE because Free has not yet transmitted the information necessary to activate the services.
So went to see the operator. They sell Xiaomi phones. 3 network ( Three EU)
The phones in the stores are working just fine, no issues at all. And my phone simply just isnt.I have tried every possible setting and still not working.
See the screenshot below. As I'm typing this I'm on a super fast full signal 5G connection. As soon as I make a phone call, the phone will downgrade to E or H+ which is horrible. This network signal switching is also laggy, and If 2g signal is poor I cannot even make a call.

Does the "Use VoLTE" switch appear in the SIM card settings?
If not you can try the Dialer Code *#*#869434#*#*. That only will make this switch appear, but sometimes this is enough. It should also show the little VoLTE-Badge next to the signal strength (see screenshot).

I just had another look and on your 1st post it says the SIM is named "3 IRL", as far as I know Three Ireland does not offer VoLTE at all.
So it will always drop to 3G/H+ or 2G/E ... on every phone.

5G connection should support this naturally. If I put this simcard Into an iPhone or Galaxy the 5G connection stays on regardless.
Anyway even with Vodafone this doesn't work,so I'm thinking it either a phone limitation or a phone is fooked

No, for VoNR your phone still needs the same configs as with VoLTE. Though only a few operators support VoNR as of now.
