[Q] No Wifi during Calls?

So, whenever I made a call on my N5, the Wifi gets turned off and it switches into 3G/HSPA+ mode (no LTE). When I end the call, it will connect to LTE and then enable Wireless again and connect like normal. This is on T-Mobile if that means anything.
Is this suppose to happen? Is there a way to prevent it from disabling Wifi during a call?
EDIT: The issue was with Tasker, since I use Cell Towers to tigger Wifi, and I guess calls uses different towers.

Anything? Even when receiving a call, before the call actually "comes through" the Wifi will be turned off; THEN the call comes through.

I just tried calling my ATT phone in a good LTE area with good WIFI. It did not drop wifi. I'm stock non-rooted 4.4.2.
There is a setting in the wifi page which prevents the phone from connecting to poor wifi. Is it possible that you're in a borderline poor wifi area and when a call is received your wifi drops just below that threshold and phone then falls back on 3G/LTE ? I noticed my phone at home when I go far from my AP I get 1 bar on the wifi but the phone says it is connected. But then wehn I try to access a web page, the phone would drop wifi and connect to 3G. I don't have LTE at home so I can't say if it would've connected to LTE straight away after wifi drop off

Delayed data connection (of sort) on AT&T LTE

So for the past week, I've been experiencing this oddball issue with LTE connectivity on my Nexus 5 on AT&T. For some reason, my data connection isn't immediate, but delay of sorts. IE when I do a google search or open up a website on chrome, there's about a 10 seconds delay after you start the search or entering in the url before you get your results/webpage. I don't think its due to a slow connection because this occurs when I have full bars for signal strength. Normally search or chrome is immediate when the LTE wasn't acting up or on wi-fi. Plus once it connects, its full speed as normal. It's as if the phone is waiting for something, times out after 10 seconds or so, than starts pulling in the data from the network. Also, the LTE signal never drops. According to the status bar, the LTE and network connection is always there the entire time.
Has this happen to anyone else? Let me know if any clarification is needed? It's a little confusing and I'm not sure what's actually going on. Not sure if its the phone or the network?

Exact same problem here

Same here. However my phone refuses to switch from LTE to HSPA+ when i need to makes calls or receive them. LTE data also is slow compared to my Note 3.

[Q] WiFi and cell signal randomly cut out

Having a problem with my One. During normal use (screen on or sleep) both the WiFi connection and cell signal will be dropped. Internet connection is interrupted and SMS fail to send. When I pull down to the quick settings menu, the WiFi icon and Cell Signal icon are both orange. I know orange usually means that there's trouble connecting to Google services, but this doesn't explain the lack of cell connection. In order to fix it, I have to manually toggle both the signal and WiFi.
I'm on 38R, stock kernel. Using the phone on Rogers Wireless in Canada.

Someone know any wifi and GSM manager??

Dear friends, some time when I have low 4g signal, I can not receiver calls.
I need some app for setting auto switch from 4G to GSM band, when the 4G is low.
Same problem, I have with wifi. I need some app for setting auto switch from wifi to Data mobile connection, when wifi signal is low.
Someone know any app that I can try for resolve this problems??
Thanks

The firmware has this feature itself.
i.e. it can switch to another network automatically if the current network signal becomes weak.
You should select the network mode as Auto Network Mode for it to function.

Yes, but when the signal is low, the phone don't switch network, because phone see the signal there is, low signal, but there is! But really, when signal is so low, I don't receive calls, my phone number is not available!
I need an app, for setting the minimal signal level, that the phone must change network

Question Wifi calling problem

Hi.
I get wifi calling working fine on my phone, but it just disappears and stops working after a few hours. Rebooting makes it work again.
Anyone else have this problem?

Are you sure it's failing and what do you mean 'stops working'?
Do you try to place a call and it fails because WiFi calling is broken?
Or are you just watching the carrier name change off of WiFi calling? Because your phone will move off of WiFi calling if the signal strength is low enough and the strength of the cellular signal is higher.
The preference switch just dictates which to favor first over the other, it doesn't lock you to WiFi calling only.
Try walking closer to an access point and checking if WiFi calling comes back, that's what it does for me I move from outside with a weak WiFi signal to inside with a strong signal.
If that's the case then you'll need more access points in your house.

Where I am right now there is no cellular (offshore). I can also recreate the problem if I turn flight mode on and off. After I do that I can't do wifi call (the icon/text is gone and calls and texts are not working anymore). Kinda weird behavior tbh. It might be the wifi, but it was stable on my last phone. I can wait till I get home and try that wifi, but it's only here at work I need it

Try disabling MAC address randomization for the access point you are on, it defaults to enabled. It can cause issues if the DHCP lease time is low and your phone gets on and off the network, making it show up as a new device each time.
If it still is having issues then it might just be the network, a grocery store near me has filters and when you get on their guest WiFi you can place a call for a couple seconds before it kills the connection.

I'll give that a go. Thanks

Disabling the MAC address randomization did the trick. Been on and stable since I turned it off. Thanks again

A new problem have emerged in this same topic.
Using the same phone, same sim, same wifi, same settings (disabled mac address randomization) the wifi calling won't activate at all now. Any idea what I can do to trouble shoot? Wifi calling is turned on and set to preffered.
