Hi,
Using the stock rom, I can extend wifi coverage using hotspot function even when mobile data are turned off. However, I can't use this function without a sim card inserted.
Anybody knows a rom with this feature?
Thanks!

Im not sure you understand how a hotspot works. The hotspot only allows other devices to share your phone's internet connection ,it doesn't extend the range of wifi.
Hotspot will only work with SIM or if phone is connected to wifi. All Roms have hotspot function.

Do you need to set your APN up correctly for your network provider?
I know I had to do that for a MVNO I use here in Australia recently on my N5.
I found the problem (in my case) I had to reduce the preferred data protocol to 3g instead of LTE. Everytime my tablet got LTE connection it lost it's connection... Airplane modus on and off, and then reconnect... 5 min later.. bang... After I tuned it down to 3G this stopped...
Hello,
With my previous handset i use to get active data connection while on call, but with One Plus One its not available.
I am using the same SIM card, and i have read somewhere that this feature is by default provided the Network operators however the handset should be compatible.
Is there are way we can activate this?

This should be enabled by default. At least it was for me. You have to be on 3G or LTE, it does not work on EDGE.

No issues so far. I get LTE even when I am on a call.
I use Airtel 4G (Bangalore, India).
Does the idol automatically use wifi when it's available for data? I just got a sim card and activated using BYO Wireless (T-Mobile).
My old Tracfone phone had an option where you could turn off cell data and use wifi only.
Yes and no..the priority is wifi but the cell radio is still used to receive sms's and other cell phone specific notifications...when you make a call while on wifi it's still using the cell radio not wifi for the call. You however have to have wifi on and the hotspot "saved"...if you want the phone to automatically grab any available hotspot when in an area look for an app like "wefi".
Some people make things so complicated.
The simple and best answer is yes, Wifi always takes priority over mobile data if the phone is connected to a wifi signal. This is standard on all phones as far as I know.
I realize it uses cell signal for messages and calls but will it use WiFi for surfing the web and email?
Thanks shodan. I posted before your reply..
today cell is not picking up the sim, when i use wifi sim get off, how to fix it?i have disable the mobile data use still not working
Hi,
I found one short thread about this. But are we sure that there is no other way to use Wifi Calling ? I have a non-network phone, an LG G7. I don't want to change it ATM. Why do the networks tie Wifi Calling to the firmware like this and is there any way round it ? Cheers.
With my carrier, Wifi Calling only works with its SIM on any phone with any firmware on which Carrier Services runs or can be installed. No SIM no Wifi Calling.
You can look for services that will connect you via vpn and allow WiFi Calling, but you are always identified. Calls cannot be anonymous.
