Is anyone using WiFi calling?
I have tried in the house as my cellular network is not full bars.
I have to say it sounds very distorted and crackling.

I use it all the time, I live basically 20 metres from the woods, and I have no cellular service at my home, I have no issues with it, Have you tried switching the mobile data off and then give it ago?

I hope not, as I'm running a good gaming router.
My other half is running a Galaxy s10 with wifi calling and hers sounds great.

hmm strange... might be your firmware or something then .. .. i have crystal clear soung on VoWIFI, use it alot as most my friends live in small towns with ****ty to none reception ,,, so always use it there... :/
Hi,
I'm using p40 pro + and Vodafone in Delhi. I'm. Not getting option for WiFi calling. But in my jio which is in sim 2 I have that. Any idea why specifically in Vodafone it isn't coming?
Prior to this I was using S21 Ultra, in that WiFi calling was working as charm for voda.
WiFi calling feature depends on the phone model. Probably P40 Pro + is not currently supported by Vodafone in your country.

Hi, I am using the ELS-NX9 model of the Huawei P40 Pro. I don't see wifi calling feature any where in the phone.
how do you enable the wifi call? maybe you are using a different model?

Does anybody know if the OP6 will support Wifi calling? More specifically in the UK?
I think someone once mentioned to me that the OP5 had Wifi calling on Three UK?
I would also like to know this answer.
I'm with three UK, and had WiFi calling on my Note8.
Unfortunately nothing has come-up on the OP6.
Will keep you updated.

Is the option there? User above has shown Wifi calling option is certainly there and works with O2.
I have Wifi calling on my Honor View 10 and that works with Three.
As OP6 doesn't appear to need special firmware to have Wifi calling, unlike say a Samsung S9+ - I would assume it's there?

Odd. I would have thought the option was available to everyone - as the OP6 isn't carrier specific and doesn't have special firmware.
its up to your mobile operator which devices to support

Not the point we're trying to make. The option for Wifi Calling in menu will be there regardless of whether the operator supports it. Some phones need a firmware from the operator to see it. But shouldn't be the case with the OP6 as there are no other firmwares, it's independent.
Nokia 3/5 - has Wifi calling option (as does iPhone) whether operator supports it or not.

That's worrying, I rely on WiFi calling in my flat right now since I get no signal at all (very thick concrete walls).
WiFi calling works flawlessly on Three on my iPhone, so if it turns out Three doesn't support it on the OP6, I might have to switch to O2/EE, both of whom have WiFi calling that works with OnePlus.
I actually went on live chat with Three a few days ago to complain about the lack of signal and WiFi calling not working on some Android devices - they first said to just use the Three inTouch app, to which I said it is garbage and barely works half the time. Eventually they caved in and gave me a £3 discount on my monthly bill. When I didn't accept that, they gave me £4... and then £5. Eventually they sent me over to the complaints team who gave me credit on my account equivalent to 2 months worth of bills and said I can cancel the contract free of any charges whenever I want.
Point is, if WiFi calling doesn't work on the OP6, go and complain to live chat, you'll get a discount on your contract or even better... and do not accept the initial offer they give you.

My F1 Global Version arrived this afternoon. I popped in my T-Mobile SIM and set the phone up. I've been using it for less than an hour.
Good News:
Voice works fine. I made multiple test calls with WiFi off. All sounded great.
Bad News:
So far I've not been able to get a data connection via 4G. It says I have service but pages won't open. I'll play around with it more.
Anyone else on T-Mobile in the US and able to get data?
EDIT: Data seems to be hit-miss. For the last 20 minutes data seems stable.
After about 10 hours of use, I can confirm that US T-Mobile users cannot get 4G on the F1. Even though it says it has an LTE connection.
Voice and 3G work fine. If you're planning to use this with data on T-Mobile, you might want to look elsewhere. I use mine mostly on WiFi so not a deal breaker for me.
I too am on T-Mo and live in Chicago. Voice sounds great. Same experience with data - the phone shows "4G" but I am getting 3G speeds. I've run Speedtest numerous ties, and I'm consistently getting 10 Mbps down, and a few up. Absolutely adequate for my needs (Spotify, email, etc.). In fact, Spotify runs so much faster than my previous phone, that it is a huge improvement for me. So, I've had the same experience, and for me, as well, 3G is not an issue.

My Speedtest results are attached. There's some variance, but about 10 Mbps down on 3G. Of note, the Wifi results are crazy, and easily 2x faster than my previously phone (LG V20) on the same exact network. In my experience, at both home and work, the Wifi on the F1 is ridiculously good.

I agree on the WiFi. I have FIOS gig service I'm getting 400 MB down and 450 up at home on WiFI. with the F1. Better than my S9+ or OnePlus 6
I'm very impressed by the F1. More so than I thought. Just waiting for my unlock code. I have not run into an app yet that has given me an issue. I'll be testing Android Auto later today when I get home. This is truly a nice phone at an amazing price. While no 4G is disappointing, I'm wondering if the band is there, just not turned on. Won't be the first time we have seen that.
Come on development!
Thanks for the follow-up. Also, although a little off topic, I'm interested in hearing about your experience with Android Auto. For me, "Ok Google" isn't currently working. I understand that's a Google issue, not a problem with the F1 (I hope). Haven't been able to text in the car, like I usually do, so I'm anxiously awaiting a fix for that!
My pocophone will not connect to T-Mobile. I have the correct APN settings and it does not connect. I'm surprised you guys are seeing connectivity. I'm in the new york area

Just information "OK Google" command already fixed on miui 10 8.9.11 closed global beta rom,,,
Thanks! Here's hoping the F1 updates to MIUI 10 soon!
Compared to my Mi A1 or Redmi 4X I don't get a LTE symbol here in austria (three), speed is probably mediocre.

T-Mobile has Band 5 in limited markets (which F1 includes). 2, 4, and 12 are prevalent in NY. My current phone has B5 and I've never seen it connect to that band personally.
As for OP. 4G is probably HSPA (3G) but that's very slow. Can you use Network Signal Guru to confirm signal type?

Same here. Got it yesterday and requested unlock code last night.
This might be to early to ask but has anyone been able to test this on three? I have no reception in my flat and can't get vowife to work on my 3t and because of the lockdown I need a working phone. I'm on a sim contract with three already.

What I do at home is have an app (it's called Automate) which, when it detects me connecting to the home wifi, will divert incoming calls to my house phone. When the wifi connection goes (I've left the house), then it cancels the divert.
Maybe that will help you?

So I have a Nord and I have a sky sim. It runs on the O2 network. I've never been able to get it to run on 5G. does someone know how I can because while its not an urgent feature. I would like to get it working. I thought with android 11 they would have fixed it but they didn't.
Is the sim account 5G as I know EE charge more.. 5G on three is utter pants doesn't work in the square mile in London hardly at all.. Stratford in there store only WiFi work's even though they claim 5G does. It could also be just weak area where you live anyone have you asked customer services if there is 5G and if Sky sim you have work's with it

My Account does have 5G and my Brother has a oneplus 8 Pro and 5G works perfectly on that but my nord does not connect to the 5G network. even when I force it to in the *#*'4636#*#* settings. Leeds has 5G in it and its pretty decent. And it shows 5G is accessible in the settings but it won't connect. Sky Mobile runs on the O2 network and I know people have had issues with it but its been sorted with an update. There has not been any update fixing this unfortunately. so I'm asking the people of XDA if they can help
I know this is the slowest 5G phone as the ariel on the Nord is pants Gadget show done a test same area 4 different phone's Nord was 40Mb slower on a broadband connection test in different locations.. But trust me when I say 5G no better in the UK at present yet. Hope you get it sorted..
I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with Snapdragon processor.
I use dual SIMs from different network providers, and both support 5G.
When I'm on mobile data, I find that the internet connection becomes extremely slow, and sometimes doesn't work at all. Switching to the other data SIM under SIM Manager Settings sometimes helps, but often the speed is pathetic. Even though the status bar shows 5G or LTE+ or LTE, the speeds I get most of the time on either SIM is like 2G.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem, but please note:
1. I use Netguard to block most system apps from connecting to the internet.
2. I use private DNS (dns.adguard.com) and I often get this notification Network has no internet access (Private DNS server cannot be accessed) which goes away after a few seconds.
Is there anything that can be done to resolve this?
Thanks.

I have bad news for you, I bought one yesterday and it made calls without problems, but the internet is terrible, and it turned out that the cell phone is on a blacklist in Canada by a cell phone company there and hence the problem.

I'm not in Canada and the S22U isn't on the blacklist of any telecom company here.
At best, this is a software issue.
At worst, this is an issue with the network modem/ radio on the device.
And I hope it is a software issue.
disable 5G and use NEXTDNS ultrafast servers
my LTE is 30-160 MBPS
my 5G is 60-280 MBPS
5G is draining battery like a crazy--so its off for me
I hope all basic troubleshooting is done on this matter. Even if this is not the issue with the operator then for sure it is a Software issue, because, in my S22 Ultra, everything is running perfectly;y fine.
Me, 908B Europa.
When i reiceive a small video on whatsapp it takes a minuteto open or fail..
Youtube, is like is charging with a shovel... Like a 50 euro phone..
I use Private DNS dns.adguard.com. I disable it and is ok now.

Turning OFF private DNS helps, but only rarely. When i have the problem, nothing i do solves it, including reboot. And when it works, it's pretty much on its own.

Interesting. I see that I can uninstall it (as opposed to disabling). For now, I have deleted it's app data, restricted battery usage and blocked it from accessing internet using Netguard. I'll see how it goes from here. Thanks for this tip.
