Wi-Fi calling option No Longer seen on Pixel 2 - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Hello Guys,
There used to be a 'Wi-Fi calling' feature present in SETTINGS >> NETWORK & INTERNET >> MOBILE INTERNET.
I've extensively used this feature during my international travels. However, I've discovered that the said feature is no longer available in the phone.
Anyone else facing the same issue?
PS: There's a new option 'Enhanced 4G LTE mode' available in the same location however. That option isn't a Wi-Fi calling feature as many have told me.

Guys I'm posting the screenshot as seen in my phone. I know the Wi-Fi calling option was in MOBILE NETWORKS section only.
But what I'm currently able to view is attached.

I've used this feature on my travel to South Korea from Oct 13-18 2018.
So I know how to use this feature and where it's found.
I'm just letting you all know this just so that we all on the same page

Network Mode(2G/3G)

Hi Omni Team,
Can we have the option of swtiching network mode(2G/3G/LTE) in the mobile settings? This is required for switching network for battery saving and selectively change network depending on the area the user is currently.
This option is there in most AOSP ROMS(CM, AOKP).
Thanks for reading this request.
Thanks,
Kunal
The last time i checked it, the network mode was a flippable quick tile...

Can't find the option.. Can you share the option please

Just a thought, not sure if it is connected but I previously had the option to change between 2g only/ 3g only/ and 2g with 3g preferred. Today I switched carriers from t-mobile UK to giffgaff and also performed OTA update if latest nightly and the option now doesn't let you choose and only has 2g/3g prefered.
Not sure whether it had to do with the update or changing carrier.

Volte and WiFi Calling Australia.....

Who is with Virgin /Optus that has recently turned on Volte and WiFi Calling having trouble finding this in the settings.
I know the HTC u11 is not listed on there site as being compatible, but I thought other countries are using it.

Open the phone app, click the "..." and go to Settings.
Right down the bottom, under "Enhanced call service", you should see Voice over LTE listed.
I don't have enhanced call settings.
Any other suggestions?

Wi-Fi calling feature not available in Android Oreo build

Hi Dev’s,
I update my MIA1 to android oreo. When I search for Wi-Fi calling feature in settings, I notice that it is displayed. However when I click on Wi-Fi calling setting, It doesn’t dispaly under the Advanced Wifi settings.
My carrier supports Wi-Fi calling feature and I have it enables on my number. When I place the sim card in a iPhone, Wi-Fi calling works flawlessly. However it is not working in Mi A1 android oreo build.
Please can anyone help me get the setting activated on my mobile. I tried resetting the phone to factory settings, but I still don’t have the setting enabled.

Hi Yash,
Thanks for the reply.
I did search in the settings as suggested by you. I am able to see the Wi-Fi calling feature displayed in the search. However when I try to open the setting, it doesn't display. Please could post a screenshot of the setting from your Mi A1 mobile.

Did you figure it out?? I experience the same problem: WiFi calling appears appears in search but tapping on it opens WiFi settings menu with no WiFi calling option it it.
Hi,
I still couldn’t get to see the optionto enable or disable wi-fi calling in settings.
Howeve one of the oreo testers replied in an another thread that wi-fi calling option is available in oreo beta build. He also posted a screenshot that shows option to toggle on/off the setting. Please let me know if you figure out a way.

I can confirm that Wifi calling on Jio is not active yet on any network (JioFi's wifi calling is something else so please don't bring that up) as on date. I have tried this on a Mi A1 also which supports Wifi calling out-of-the-box.

WiFi calling isn't available at any TSP. ( In india)
I once tried to call someone when connected to WiFi. There was a pop up to enable wifi calling. I enabled it from there. Since then it didn't appear again. Also I can't test whether it's working because my carrier doesn't support wifi calling

OnePlus Google Fi

I am interested in moving away from a Pixel and getting the OnePlus. I am on Google Fi and I understand that moving to something other than a Pixel (or the handful of other "for Fi" phones) will leave me without network switching, and Google says no more WiFi calling or messaging. I am wondering if anyone has gotten the WiFi calling working on OnePlus on Fi, or the messaging. Thanks in advance.

With RCS being activated in the Messages app, the WiFi messaging should not be a problem. Not sure about WiFi calling though.

I thought about that too with the switch to RCS messaging. I'd seen threads regarding wifi calling on OnePlus 7 on other sites but nothing about Google Fi, so was hoping someone here had experience. Thanks.
I have the Oneplus 7 Pro and Google Fi and it shows Volte and have no problems on it.

Basically I have this too. What I have noticed is that on some powerons and reboots, it's not there.... And then a later beboot, it comes back. So, not solid, AFAIAC.

WiFi calling works, and it hasn't on plenty of my devices.
Looks like Fi app has option for wifi calling now, have yet to test it out. No idea if device needs a reset Fi app uninstall to enable the toggle, if it's actually necessary. Installing Fi app always removed the option on activation and defaulted to the wrong apn on the first stable 10 build.
Cheers

This is the first time I actually made a call with mobile data turned off. But, whenever I turn on wifi, I have a notification that it's enabled.

No, I have Optimum, I don't know anything about GF.
Custom rom? Are your enhanced network toggle and WiFi priority settings on the device? Fi seems to remove mine upon activation.
No such luck in airplane mode wifi.
Are you getting the VPN as well? None here.
I have to select the second apn after activation , drops mobile signal from tower to tower. Who knows if it's all correct I can't verify with tech support.
Thanks

Does this activity enable volte on Chinese model?

I used "create shortcut" and found this activity in my ColorOS 11 alpha.
com.android.settings.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity
It seems to be Android native SIM setting and have VOLTE option in it with my Chinese SIM. (10-50-58-50.jpg)
I am not in the UK and The VOLTE option does not show up with my UK SIM probably because VOLTE does not work with roaming. (10-35-05-86.jpg)
So would someone test their SIM with this activity?
Yes, it does.

So there is the VOLTE option with your non-Chinese SIM and there is HD icon in the status bar after turning the option on?

Go to the App - Activity - Search for Mobile Network - Find the one in setting - Try the shortcut
Then you should have the menu.
Not sure if this menu is on ColorOS7 though

The highlighted setting seems to be missing from my phone. I don't see that.
I am surprised that this doesn't have WiFi calling since mobile network at my home is sketchy and till now I was relying on WiFi calling on my old phone for all work calls.

Probably this menu isn't available on ColorOS7.
I am on ColorOS11 alpha. You can also apply ColorOS11 beta in Settings-Update before October. But I can't gaurantee this will solve the VOLTE / VOWIFI issue. Also latest beta fails the Safety net test.

Yeah I thought about getting the beta but not sure I want to be on an unstable beta build on my main phone.
Now ColorOS11 (for Chinese device )is out for everyone. To update, you can go setting-update-gear on the right corner-first option. Anyone wants to try this method for enabling volte?

Hi I've just updated the phone to colorOS 11. I've tried the shortcut maker and gone to the seeing page but there's no volte option on it. Any pointers?
Any way wifi calling can be activated?
