When tethering and I answer a call, it stays on LTE? - AT&T LG G4

I've noticed when i'm tethering using built in tether feature, and a call comes in, the phone still shows LTE and my speed on computer doesn't seem effected at all.
If i'm not tethering, it just shows 4G during a call.
Is the call going over LTE when tethering? I don't notice any more clarity than normal.

Wifi Calling UMA GS4G Vs G2X

Ok. I have the G2X from the GS4G.
Does anyone notice really bad wifi calling quality?
When I was on my GS4G, the call quality was awesome. I mean, no problems, fast connection, no jitter.
With the G2X, the jitter is almost unusable.
Should I wait for the 2.3 update to see if that fixes the issue or should I just return the G2X for my old GS4g. The only thing I would miss would be the flash.. I know.. crazy, but I really just use my phone for business and rarely need that much CPU power.
Thoughts?
I use wifi calling in my office since the reception is horrible. I haven't had any issues with call quality, more or less smooth and crystal clear. Not sure what could be causing the jitters with yours.

if you are not having problems, what the network type you are using.
A/B/G/N
Are you using a bluetooth,etc,?
Thanks!
I can attest to my wifi calling being poor. The call starts out with good quality then slowly diminishes and either drops me or says my wifi lost connection. It definitely isnt my router and I shouldnt have lost connection... Not sure what the deal is.
Home and offfice are both N, not using a BT headset.
I use Wi-Fi Calling a lot. On the G2, the call quality was good even with a moderate signal. Sitting five feet away from my Netgear N600 n-speed router with 0 dbm the G2X flakes out on Wi-Fi calls. It'll start out great then voices start to drag and muddle and then goes back to great. I don't think it's the Wi-Fi Calling app, I think it's LG's F-d up implementation of Wi-Fi which is causing the signal to fluctuate. The router's bullet proof and the G2 performed flawlessly (as do other telephony devices hanging off the router) so I know it's the phone.
I've had issues with wifi calling as well. static not clear. Turned off the wifi calling and it worked perfect. I'm not high on wifi calling right now

My experiences with wifi calling have been mixed. Sometimes I get absolutely perfect calling, and other times its completely unusable due to stutters. Based on this and what the rest of you are saying, I'd agree that its LG's wireless drivers that are the problem. The hardware itself seems to be capable, and its not the router, so the software is the only thing left. And if people have been able to use t-mobile's wifi calling app on other phones, that leaves this phone's particular software, ie the stuff LG provided us with, since the wifi calling app is the same throughout the different phones. Hopefully gingerbread or even better cm 7 will fix this.
wifi calling on my g2x is awesome! Way better than what it was on my old blackberry 8900.
Wifi calling was horrible on my SGS 4G, while it's great on my G2x.

I'm definitely getting better call quality on my g2x than I did on my mytouch 4g. However, I do occasionally have a problem with the app failing to register on T-Mobile's network. However, a quick restart of wifi and the wifi calling app always seems to rectify the problem.

I had the MyTouch 4G, MT4G with CM7, GS4G, and G2X
Here is my experience.
At first I did everything, Linksys, Netgear, Apple Router, N/G/A/ 2.4/5(for the 4g that had that), QOS, WMM, Blah blah blah..
It was never my network.
My phone calls are not short, they can be 1-2 hours long with tech support/customers
MT4G - Jitter.
MT4G(CM7-RC) - Better But Occasional Jitter
GS4G - Almost Perfect, some jitter but we are talking 1 time a day, not 20 times during a call.
G2X - Jitter, similar to the MT4G
Well.. sigh..
Because I used Wifi Calling exclusively when I am in my home office (all carrier have a problem because of the houses around me and a basement Office - (Sprint/VZW/ATT/TMO)), I exchanged my G2X back to my old Galaxy S4g. I loved the G2X but the wifi calling was critical for me. I agree with someone who posted Cm7 might help, but my gut is telling me it is a wonky wifi chip/card, not the wifi application.
I know software will update, but by then I might be getting the HTC sensation and Android will fully support the dual core procs and more improvement time for the wifi calling.
Why I had to return it:
Wifi Calling Bad for me, Had to do a battery pull a couple times, reboots didn't bother me every once in a while, I notice with wifi calling it would many times not release the router, in other works, I would leave my house and even though I was on 4G full bars - I could not complete any calls - Bug in Wifi Calling software?, Battery wasn't by far the worst (i think the thunderbolt has that honor ), but with the galaxy I could go through my 5am-11pm day. Bluetooth not connecting automatically, (I noticed this with an LG Optimus S - Buggy?) I like the touchwiz (shoot me).
I notice that Wifi calling goes south when the screen goes off. Cyanogen includes a program called GANOptimizer which, for Gingerbread, uses a new API to disable wifi power saving.
The built in gingerbread SIP stack also disables wifi power saving on its own, BTW.
My wifi calling is flaky. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's very poor. I just went ahead and disabled the wifi calling using Titanium Backup Pro.

[Q] Question about Wifi Calling.

I recently just got rid of my Mytouch 4g, which had HORRIBLE reception with wifi calling. I had the phone replaced 3 times from T-mobile before finally giving up. Does anyone use wifi calling with the G2X on a regular basis? I know with my wife's sidekick 4g, the wifi calling is flawless and is just as clear as talking with a full signal. I am looking at picking up a G2X soon, but am really hesitant since I have NO signal at my house, and am not sure the quality of wifi calling with this phone. Thanks for any input.
I also have horrible reception at my house, so I use wifi calling all the time. I haven't had any issues with it on my G2X, and haven't heard any complaints from people on the other end.
You still have to have a connection to Tmo. If your phone says "no service," the wifi app will not connect. I'm assuming though, that if your wife's phone connects, the G2X should as well. I put off getting an Android phone, until they got wifi calling. I cannot live w/o it lol. Losing the wifi calling is one of my "Top 5 fears of an AT&T takeover."
My first G2X had major issues, and the wifi and wifi calling wouldn't work at all (it said it was connected, but it wasn't). So, if you DO have issues, try getting a replacement.
Good Luck.
Thanks much. That's what I needed to hear.
my wifi calling works fine. Can barely tell the difference between the two. The blue icon turns green when you are using it.
Most important thing is that make sure free wifi calling is included in your plan. Otherwise, 1 hour of wifi calling will subtract 60 mins from your plan. If you have unlimited talk you shouldn't worry.
I just picked it up today, and wifi calling is perfect. Thanks for the input folks.

[Q] Issues with connecting

Has anyone had problems with their phones when going from a no signal area to a signal area? Mine does not ring and will not make outgoing calls (it just says "connecting to mobile network"). Re-booting the phone connects me back to the network. Otherwise the phone runs great and battery life is good.

After Data Roaming, my regular data connection quality has declined + tethering issue

I came back from a trip where I was data roaming. Now that I am back, I have noticed that the connection quality has declined. It is usually just as fast, but disconnects more often and tethering sometimes does not work. I have also noticed that the 4G icon has been replaced with the H+ icon. However, since the speed is still 4G-level speed, I still think I am on the LTE network.
Should I reinstall a modem or something?

Yet again another S2 Classic battery question

After reading through some posts, I want some clarification plz. I picked up AT&T's version of the S2 classic(4g). Battery life pretty bad IMO. I have been connecting through 4G I assume, which I read today that it showing "connected remotely" on both the phone and S2 is using 4G radio, which is the battery killer, correct? Or even worse in standalone, which uses it own cell number correct? So am I just to pair it with BT only?,(showing "connected via BT" on both phone and S2), I too use Numbersync to use only the phones number on the S2. Seems no matter the configuration, all calls, texts and such work correct. The only grip is when a call or text is received, and is answered on the S2, it leaves the missed call or text notifications on the phone. Any way to correct that? Thanks in advance.
You should just use the bluetooth and set the mobile data to connect automatically when needed. That will help some. If it looses bluetooth then it will connect to the Phone with 4g or wifi other than that it turns those radios off.
