Has anyone been able to use the "Video Call" app that Samsung provides, on the i667? It's supposed to enable standard 3G-324M video telephony calls over networks that supports it, as long as the phone has a front facing camera. At least, that's what it claims. Anyhow, I'm trying it on my network to no avail. Same SIM in a different device, no issues. It's an older UMTS phone, not a smartphone. Somehow, I can't seem to find any device that this app works on, nor any network. Any clue anyone? And please don't suggest using a data solution, that's not what I'm looking for, I am looking for a ITU standard, 3G-324M video telephony solution on Windows Phone 7.
thanks.

Hi Guys
i Have a problem with my new S730, the Video calling seems to be completely disabled. The menu for Video Calling under "Settings" doesn't do anything, and as the manual says, there should be a menu item under contacts to allow you to dial using Video, which there isn't!
I have just changed from a Vario II which i had video calling working fine, so i can't see it being a sim card problem. then again i could be wrong.
any ideas?
Allan
Reset it please
Hard reset?
Well, i hard reset and it is still the same. no option to Video Call under contacts. and the menu under settings is dead.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Forgive asking the obvious, but have to ask:-
Are you using a 3G USIM card, and you currently have 3G signal?
I don't have this device, and am only guessing, but perhaps the option is disabled if there is no 3G signal.
Also, do you have a Production or Pre-production device, where did you buy it from?
Is there an option to change the Network from GSM to UMTS (or both) somewhere in the settings?
Even if 3G network is unavailable, my s730 displays the Video call option and is enabled. Of course, after choosing it, the phone will inform me that 3G network is not available and asks me if I would like to make a voice call instead.
I have 3G and HSDPA both active and orking fine. using the same sim card that i was using in my Vario II, which worked fine using video calling function.
All very strange, anyway the phone is going back in the morning, i am actually a bit dissapointed with the device.......a let down.
Guess i'll have to start a new serch for a Smartphone.
thanks for all your help guys.
I know for some the title is a little contradicting, but here is what I am looking for:
I would like to turn off calls and sms, and enable only mobile data (3g). Airplane mode is not good for this as it turns off mobile data. I have done this on an old windows mobile phone I used to have (motorola q) but I haven't found much info on android for this. I know some people have also asked the same question but no answer (forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/61387-how-turn-off-cell-phone-radio.html).
I have an Samsung exhibit 2, it's on gingerbread.
I am wondering if it isn't as simple as to replace the normal phone apks with the ones from a tablet (since tablets cannot make voice calls or sms) was anyone tried this? Maybe can point me to a place to try? I think the apks to replace would be the 2 being discussed here:
android.stackexchange.com/questions/7133/how-do-i-turn-off-the-cellular-radio-without-disabling-bluetooth
Thank you.
Tablets can make voice calls AFAIK. Although one looks very stupid holding a large pad onto the ear. Normally, it goes to Loudspeaker by default.
Anyways, what you are looking for might not be in Android. From the look of it, this is a driver feature. So if the drivers of the phone's radio does not support this feature it might not be possible.
Anyways, is it possible to do this in real GSM radios? Isn't GPRS in the same band as in Voice calls? I'm not sure about HSPA.
Why would you want to do that?
Do you just want to disable texting and calls? (You could just ignore them?), or you could just use Wifi.
In older phones (like 2g and basic cell phones), they did not have mobile data, so all they had was the cellular radio. In newer phones though, the cellular radio and 3g/4g is the same piece of hardware, so it is not possible, as far as I am aware, to disable one or the other selectively. Sorry
If you're own a sprint phone and try to download a phone call can break the connection. I am also looking for a way to temp disable the cell radio while downloading.
"Juice" might do it. I know some of the battery saver apps will allow this customization where you can have data only, radio off, radio on data off...etc
Recently, I used a Moto G and a Lenovo phone (both are dual SIM phones) and I found this Menu called Sim Managemnet in Settings. There is this feature by which you can disable the GSM radio of either of the SIMs. The entire communication of the particular SIM is disabled and not just Internet(as in the case of Sparkle V-by disabling Mobile Data).
I want to know whether everyone is devoid of the SIM Management feature or is it just me(as I haven't seen anyone else using Android One and Googling didn't help me). Is this some kind of hardware feature(my logic says not)? I've skimmed through android.developers site to find whether any function can be made use-of to disable GSM radio. But couldn't find one.
If anyone has found any solution for this problem then please respond.
I need to have this feature as I'm using my second SIM only for data and I rarely use data connection as for most of the time I will be connected to Internet over WiFi.
Pretty much what it says on the can. If I'm in a voice call and flip over to email, or a browser, all I get is "ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED" and even apps like third party file browsers(Astro) that assume network connectivity to load ads or the like hang up because there's no data network available during voice calls. Once I end the voice call the internet connectivity comes right back and works fine to load the same sites or use the same apps that I wasn't able to use before.
This is a black Pixel 2 XL, unlocked, ordered directly through Google, with a Sprint SIM that I double-checked against the online discussions for compatibility. The device works fine in most other ways. The activation was clean and everything else seems to work.
When I'm at home and on my Wi-Fi I can use both voice and data to multitask, so this is something in how it's working with the carrier. I've tried the LTE(Preferred), 3G, and Global network types in the "Preferred Network Type" section of the "Mobile Network" options for my carrier.
I've looked through all the settings and can't see anything like "enhanced calling" which was the solution with the single-radio Samsung devices. Any ideas how to get the Pixel 2 to share the radio during voice calls?
Thanks,
Steven
I don't think Sprint has the backend to support VoIP and LTE at the same time. So that's probably just a network limitation.
Sprint has one antenna so there's.o voice and data at the same time like GSM. Sprint is CDMA been like that since 2014

I actually have this issue on VZW! Has anyone seen this on VZW? Also, is there a setting to VoLTE? This is stock Android on a VZW Pixel.
Thanks!

Hello. I have a Google store bought Pixel 2. I just placed a call to my voicemail and was able to surf the web on my browser at the same time. It works both on WiFi and with WiFi switched off.

Check to see if "advanced calling" is enabled. Settings/ Network & Internet/ Mobile network/ advanced.

I do not have very good reception where I am, so I started looking for things to help. Got a booster which wasn't much help. I then thought voice over wifi, so I checked if the s8 had it and yes it does, or so I thought. Voice over WiFi did not appear anywhere in my settings, my Telus provider was baffled as I was. We have been on the phone for hours. I with guidance backed up and factory reset my s8. This brought in an app under settings>Apps>more>show system apps and then scroll till I came to WiFi Calling. This appeared with the reset. Apparently something like that should appear in the phone app settings and have a switch, Mine does not. Then I discovered there were codes and service mode. Under code *#9090# I found a setting that reads "VoLTE Weakcell Setting.
My question is please if anyone knows how to implement WiFi Calling on s8 I would be grateful. God bless.

Typically, VoLTE functionality is controlled by your carrier in their system.
This is how it normally works:
1) your device must support/offer VoLTE service
2) your carrier must support VoLTE
3) your carrier must support VoLTE on your specific model number
4) your carrier enables VoLTE service to your device in their system somehow or they send you a specific SIM to enable VoLTE.
In other words, VoLTE support and functionality is more controlled on their end than it is on your end.
Yes I understand, when their tech support says s8 should do wifi calling, and the settings dont appear where they should, and then after a reset an app called "wifi calling" appears in the app list, but nothing anywhere else. Except, as I was able to find, there is a service mode and there is a selection there that is called "Weak Cell Settings". Sadly I dont have service programming manual. Thank you.

It could be that the network supports S8 but doesn't support your specific model number of S8, especially if the S8 that you are using is not the same model number as the specific model of S8 that they offered/sold on their network, if it's from another network and has been unlocked to be used on other networks, it may not be a specific model number that is specifically supported by their network. If this is the case, the specific model number(s) of S8 that they support would have a firmware that has the settings in the correct place but the firmware on your specific model number might not have it. Not all model numbers are equal, the firmware on each of them is designed and built by the specific network that it is branded to, with each if them having differences intentionally chosen by the network that is branded to, including what settings it has or doesn't.
Hi Everyone
Thank you for your help. Problem is solved. It is a service setting that sets the retail company selling you the phone and /or the plan. In my case I had a phone which my provider did not program when I began a new plan with them. all companies are listed and I guess the program for wireless calling is included with your selection of the company....phone responded immediately with all the proper programming. Thanks again for your time and effort

I've never known a device to have that setting. If your device is an international model, it would make sense to have that setting for the various regions/carriers.
