I came from the OP3 and now have the 8gig/128gig and still using T-MOBILE. When I have my WiFi on, I'm able to make WiFi calls with no problems. But when I go out of range when on a wifi call it will just drop the call instead of handing it over to the carrier (T-Mobile). When I was using the OP3, and making WiFi calls, this would hand over with no issues.
Anyone showing the same behavior? Could this be a network problem or a device issue (that could be fixed with updates)?
Cheers!
Really? Am I the only one? No one has a comment/ideas?
My internet provider is AT&T, if that makes a difference, and I've tried the 2.4 and the 5.0 mhz channels, but it just won't change over to the more reliable source with out dropping the call.

I wanted to toggle between 2g and 3g as my 3g plan is expensive. AT&T had blocked this feature. i tried through *#*#4636#*#* and also some other codes which is not successful. Can any1 help me in this regard.
Solution: Custom ROM
I am on Infused 2.x, and it allows me to switch to 2G networks.
I'm running CM7 and there is an option that allows you to use 2G networks only.
The stock Infuse software, if I remember correctly, only allowed you to use GSM only, which would use 3G.
As diablo stated, a custom ROM would be a good starting point.
If you didn't already know, 2G mode can cause interference with speakers, if that matters to you.

I cannot vouch for this. I am on 2G networks like about 90% of the time, and find no issues.
Can being the important word there
It happens on my phone. I have about 7 pairs of speakers on my desk at work, and using 2G causes all of them to give feedback while my phone transmits data, gets a call, or gets a text/MMS message. It's been like that, for multiple phones, for years. It's probably more important to note that these are older computers that I've kept running with magic, hope, and the occasional kick for the past few years, and the audio cards on them are likely very old too. I'm not an expert on a lot of things, and speaker technology is one of those things I'm not an expert on, but they are also older speakers and I can't say that if recent advances in this kind of hardware would have solved that.
Using 3G doesn't cause it. I don't have 4G in my area, and when my phone uses HSPA+ it obviously doesn't cause trouble either - (probably) being that as I understand it, HSPA is still 3G.
It's not a thorough troubleshooting but I started noticing my phone would do it when I started playing with which mobile network to use. It did not affect my truck's speakers, and it does not affect my speakers on my home computer or my headset.
YMMV.

Now it makes sense. I was assuming phone speaker, not desktop speakers.
I probably should have specified that too

Try with this code: *#2263#. Then choose GSM BAND and then GSM ALL or GSM 850.
Maybe someone of XDA Developers can develop a mod that allows adding a data network menu to stock rom to choose between 2G and 3G networks.
No ones addressed this. When turning on WiFi and WiFi calling it kills radio and can't be fixed until a reboot. Anyone have this. Also WiFi calling on this thing is horrible, and reception. Want to like this phone but probably getting a gs 2.
I have no wifi calling issues, at all.
So if you turn off wifi calling cell does not come back?
If wifi calling is on it should turn off the radio.
That is normal for wifi calling on the newer software phones. Even my Amaze with ICS does that too.
If you also have wifi calling set to WiFi only it will not get signal back properly until it is rebooted or in range of good enough wifi signal to re-enable.
I'm not seeing this either. wifi calling works fine for me and I haven't seen any problems with the handoff when I go out of range.
What ROM are you running? I'm using stock 1.53
It gets stuck trying to reenable mobile connection and I have to reboot

That is odd. For my phone it takes a few seconds to switch from wireless calling to regular cell signal when I turn off WiFi. If you toggle airplane mode on and then off, does your radio work? If not, check to see if your phone has the latest update for it already (under settings->about->software updates, I think). If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to try. You might have a defective unit. (edit: if you haven't rooted it and modified it)
Wireless calling does suck for this phone. I kill my wireless connection when a call drops and call back under good ol' cell reception. Heck, I can't even call voicemail under WiFi calling since the pass code dials don't go through properly. Then again, this is what you're trying to resolve, getting reception after disabling WiFi, so this workaround is not yet possible...
In response to the call quality, I do notice lots of "pops and clicks" in the audio when using wi-fi calling. I have seached the forums and this seems to be a pretty common issue with this phone. I've noticed it on Skype too, which was also a reported issue. Seems there are some bugs to workout on this phone, not too worried about it as its a new phone. Im sure some roms will fix these issues, if there isnt one out there that already does.
I'm using the latest TrickDroid ROM and I've noticed that sometimes the phone does not connect to data when I leave wireless. The wireless call quality is hilariously bad.
Hey all,
So I've had the same issue on stock as well as some sense-based roms in that I'm using T-Mobile's wifi calling but I'll be on a call and every few minutes, the audio will cut out for about 5 seconds. Obviously you can miss a lot of a conversation in this time and it gets very annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Any fixes?

Sounds like a WiFi problem, but the WiFi calling feature has it's own issues on the One S with call quality.
I'm currently running TrickDroid (T-Mobile Variant) and I'm having similar issues. Some factors to minimize the dropped calls would be to make sure your Wi-Fi signal is as strong as possible. I thought phone calls wouldn't be too bandwidth intensive but the One S seems to very picky about the conditions it'll maintain the call. I've also had some mild success with using a bluetooth headset.

I solved this problem on my Defy by going into my router setup and changing it from its "mixed mode" default to N or G mode. But my Defy uses Kineto and not the new IMS wifi calling.
i have to reboot in order for the 4g data to work again but it only stays on for about a minute and then it stops working again. everything else on the phone works ( text, voice, wifi etc...) I read somewhere that flashing different radios might fix it but im not sure about that. anyone else experience this and have a work around? i am currently on baseband i535VRLG1
Thanks In advance
i called Verizon and they said it may be the sim card thats damaged. if that were the case wouldnt voice and text fail as well?

I'm having the same issues recently. I've always gotten a 4G signal at my house (albeit not the strongest one) but lately, my phone will not hold on to the connection. When coming off of wifi, my phone will not acquire a data connection at all most of the time. I can still send/receive texts and calls but there is no 4G or 3G icon, no MMS, and no data. I have to toggle the radios on/off, or change from CDMA/LTE to Global (or GSM) and back, put in airplane mode, or restart.....there is no guarantee any one of those steps will work. Sometimes I have to do it repeatedly until I get my data connection back but it is only temporary.
I'm on the i535VRBMF1 baseband and updated to the ML1 modem to try and resolve but to no avail. I have replaced my sim card (as I initially though that was the issue) but it has not helped either.
The only thing I can think of is that my PRL may have been updated (it is currently 15310) and it's causing issues with the towers in my area.
I just got back from Hawaii and was also in San Diego for a few days and had absolutely no issues. It seems to only be an issue now when I'm at my house which makes me think it is something VZW network related and nothing to do with my phone per say. It's really driving me nuts though.
BTW, I'm in Southern California (Irvine).
I seemed to have fixed the issue by reverting the baseband back to vrlf2. I had to switch from global to 4g/LTE because I vegan to inch roaming charges lol. Verizon credited me and no dropped 4g signal. So I'm happy.

What ROM are you running? I'm just curious what the implications are of running an older baseband (from the ICS days) on a newer ROM/Kernel.
I'm running cleanrom8.1 core edition. Slightly buggy but tolerable.
I was finally able to somewhat resolve my issue so I thought I'd post in case anyone else is experiencing something similar.
By using a few different apps and testing techniques, I was finally able to deduce that my issue had to do with EHRDP hand-off with the towers in the immediate vinicity to my house. I'm not sure what VZW did to them lately but it doesn't appear to be a problem in other locations so it seems like the issue is on their end (and not something to do with my phone).
In any case, it seems that when my 4G connection is weak and EHRDP is detected, it is dropping the connection entirely instead of handing if off to 3G (EVDO). The connection is also never transferred back when a 4G signal is detected either until I reset the connection where there is a moderate 4G signal.
Again, this only seems to be an issue when connected to the towers near my house and doesn't occur when traveling abroad.
To fix this, I have disabled EHRDP by doing the following:
1) Open the dialer and type *#97328640#
2) Select "[2] CDMA"
3) Select "[2] Data"
4) Select "[7] eHRPD e/disable"
5) Select "[2] Disable(*)"
6) Reboot the phone
Now my phone switches between EVDO revA. for 3G (using the native protocols) and LTE rather than relying on the broken eHRDP protocols. This workaround will have to suffice until VZW fixes stuff in my area but at least I don't miss MMS messages anymore.
Hope this helps anyone running into similar situations.
Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

It does not. Used my OnePlus 7 Pro for a couple of days and no WiFi calling.
