Is there a way to enable Wifi calling and have it say on for as long as it is enabled, regardless of mobile signal or wifi strength. I've seen Samsung does this.
There is a thread that uses ADB to turn wifi calling on on a Google pixel, will this work for a Nova 3i with EMUI 9?

I love TMO wifi calling because the cell signal at my house is really spotty being blocked by hills. The problem I have is that wifi calling has to be manually turned on every time. If I am out running around and forget to turn off wifi calling, the phone would try to connect to public wifi which I don't want to do. Does anyone know of an app that would automatically turn on wifi calling when connected to a specific network then automatically turn off once the connection is lost? Basically I am looking to have wifi calling only when I am home.
Hi, I keep losing internet connection whenever I am on WiFi, although signal is strong and WiFi icon keeps showing full in notch. I already reset my router and network. Anything else I can do? WiFi is always on during sleep, by the way. All other devices and smartphone work fine on my WiFi network, it's only the OnePlus 6.

Some routers have a setting you must disable, or else the op6 can kill the internet for a few seconds.
LAN>Switch Control and set Nat Acceleration to Disable (on router) may not be the right path for you to go on your router but search for nat acceleration helped me on my Asus router.
We have set up a WiFi router at our summer house and all devices bar my OnePlus 8 connects without problem to the WiFi. My phone connects to the WiFi but not the internet. Have restarted the phone and removed and added the WiFi connection but no luck. Any idea what's going on?
I had this problem with my oneplus 8, European version, where at times internet connection would drop, but wifi was still connected so the phone was in effect blocked since I use VoWiFi both voice calls and data was blocked.
The problem turned out to be between my router and the oneplus 8. I had to go into the settings of the router and disable a feature called "band steering". This setting will make the two different wifi gateways inside the router, the 2.4 ghz and the 5 ghz appear as one and the same with the same SSID name. This is supposed to simplify setting up devices with wifi but is known to cause problems sometimes.
As soon as I had separated the two and given them different names, I no longer have a problem with internet access dropping from the wifi.
I have no idea where the fault happens, I only know that I have had to disable band steering with another router I had before. I think this feature might be a bit unstable.
No idea what's happened but this morning it just worked.
Hello. I'm switching from an iPhone, on which I was able to share my 5G mobile connection to my laptop at 5ghz, which gave me 350mbps, however my new Pixel 7 pro is only offering 2.4ghz band, despite disabling "extend compatibility", I've read that this "feature" is new since Android 13.
How can I "fix" this "feature"? The hotspot is my only way to get internet, and 90mbps is not good.
Thanks
5G for Hotspot works just fine on T-Mobile. Connects to my Laptop and have highs in 270-290 Mbps in house on the 5Ghz band. Im using a Macbook Pro.
make sure "ensure maximum compatibility" is turned off on the hotspot settings (thought there was a different way to do this before)
i never had "maximun compatibility" enabled, i also tried disabling 2.4ghz on my laptop device manager, but then the phone doesn't show on the wifi list, how can i fix this?

maybe the laptop only support 2.4ghz to android phones might need to update the drivers or firmware for your laptop wifi to support 5G with pixel 7
with my iphone 13 i get 5ghz hotspot (and my computer gets 350mbps from 5G)

Hi, hotspots on pixels work "smart". The hotspot is 5GHz, but as you move your phone further away from the connected device, it drops to 2.4GHz.... so try sticking your phone next to the computer/laptop, then turn on the hotspot. Should be 5GHz.
thanks for the advice @iplux , but i keep the phone a few milimeters from my computer all the time, so that's not the issue
I upgraded from the Pixel 5a. When I was on the Pixel 5a I could be connected to WiFi, turn on Hotspot and my devices could share the WiFi connection. This was great because I could connect to Hotel WiFi, sign in once and my devices would auto connect to my SSID.
Since I got the Pixel 7a, turning on Hotspot automatically disconnects from WiFi. Is this feature gone?

It's actually a hardware limitation unfortunately, the WiFi chip can't do both. https://android.googlesource.com/de...31f425e0efbe557c600f145a48cd26b5f0541b0^!/#F0
