Hey everyone!!!
Seeing if this issue is wide spread or not but I'm coming from an S10 and I am always being disconnected from wifi calling or receiving random ER081 unable to connect. But if I switch my SIM back to the S10 I get flawless wifi calling.
On the plane or home wifi even I was only able to get like 3 messages through wifi calling before it disconnected where as in my S10 same flight (which I do a lot) I get wifi calling the whole entire time.
Thanks for the help!!!!

This just started happening within the last week.
My phone is rooted.
It seems that when I have WiFi turned on I have a complete loss of 4G/3G/2G/G RF. If I turn WiFi off, then the phone signal comes back. This wouldn't bother me that much if I could send texts over WiFi with no normal phone signal, but everytime I try to send a text over WiFi it fails to send. Anyone else experience this issue?
Thanks
With wifi calling it purposefully turns off your mobile data so it doesn't use any of your minutes/data. You can go into wifi calling and select preferences and turn it to cellular connection preferred - that way your phone will still use your signal whenever it can, but keep in mind you'll use a lot more data and your battery won't last as long. I do have texts fail from time to time on wifi calling but it hasn't been too bad recently. If you don't have a good wifi signal then just turn off wifi calling.
Thanks for the info!
So why would the texts keep failing? I will even try to keep re-sending the text and still they will fail. Is there a specific port on the router that needs to be open for better optimization?
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
Hello, I am traveling internationally and have decided to use Wifi Calling to avoid getting charged for international calls.
I turned on wifi calling in the settings and went through the automated setup, and in settings it shows that wifi calling is on, however the wifi calling symbol in the top notification/pull down bar shows that wifi calling is off.
Obviously this makes things very confusing, and I don't know how to tell if calls being made are being made on wifi or if I am being charged per minute on the calls that I make?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Notes: so far I have restarted the phone, used Sprint's reset to factory settings, updated PRL and Profile multiple times, however the symbol still shows that wifi calling is off while settings state wifi calling is on.
You'll get a little telephone icon in the bar across the top of the screen to the right hand side. When you see that, wifi calling is active and calls are going through that.
The thing with wifi calling is that it can be enabled, but it'll only fully turn on when signal drops below a set point. On earlier firmwares you could just go into airplane mode and enable wifi to force it over, but the latest firmware broke that workaround.
Hi I had to do a factory reset and when I went to activate wifi calling, it is stuck on enabling
My wifi calling works fine unless I'm on an airplane. Then I connect to GoGoInflight and my internet works but the WiFi calling (which enables me to text in the plane through T-Mobile) gets stuck at Enabling. I have tried rebooting, Airplane mode on & off, I chatted with the GoGo support, nobody could help. I have the S7 Edge, stock. I really wish this to be fixed. It always worked until I got this warranty replacement S7 Edge. This particular handset won't finish Enabling. Any tips?
My Sprint S21+ keeps dropping wi-fi calling. All location services are set correctly and it works fine when it works. It drops back to voLTE and I get a location error. Anyone else experiencing this?
Nothing like tht for me so far (AT&T customer). I'll certainly keep an eye out though!
Has been an issue since an update to android back in August last year.
Here is a quick workaround however do not forget to switch back.
While on Wi-Fi>Turn off mobile data>Set Wi-Fi Calling to> Wi-Fi priority.
That should fix the Wi-Fi Calling issue while connected to Wi-Fi.
When Leaving Wi-Fi Coverage, Turn Mobile Data back on.
Now, while you are out and about without Wi-Fi and using Mobile Data, Turn Wi-Fi Calling off. That'll make sure you are making calls via mobile signal and not 3g/4g/5g (B.S.)
