My Nord does not have an 'Auto switch to mobile data' option under WiFi Preferences. Needless to say, it does _not_ automatically switch to the mobile data if it detects the WiFi has internet connectivity issues, even though it can detect it if it happens.
Anyone else having this issue?

I think what you refer to is called "dual channel network connection" on the Nord

Thanks for the heads up! I'll test it out and see how much mobile data it uses with just the 'Intelligent network connection' turned on but on a stable WiFi.
The functionality I was looking for is specifically called 'Auto switch to mobile data' though, and at least other OnePlus phones still have it:
i think that's in developer options

I noticed that if wifi is not available, Polaris connects to GPRS automatically. I want to use only wifi for internet connection, and would like to turn off GPRS leaving wifi working, because GPRS is very costly. Can anyone help?
try this app.
This application can turn off GPRS only if it is already active, I want GPRS/3G to be turned off permanently.
i'm not getting what you mean. U have installed GPRS/EDGE.... settings. If U run this app u see all your connections as ENABLED. U need to select each one and after press TOGGLE button (ENABLED changes to DISABLED). So afterwards device is not able 2 connect thru GPRS/Edge... If u need it from time to time just start app and pres toggle again to enable
settings->connection->connections->advanced->select network
pick the item in the dropdownbox for auto connect network which is not my isp
Easy. After you set up your wifi connection, go to your Comm Manager and switch off Data Connection. Wifi has to be on. If you switch it off, Data Con will come back on.
Basically have your wifi permanently on and all your apps would use that instead of 3G/GPRS.
Edit: Sorry missed the auto connect when 'no network available' point. What Rudegar said is sound.
Is there any known consequences of wifi permanently on?

You mean other than the wifi draining your battery, and as you go around the city always bugging you whith "new network found" dialogs, and having to connect to an unprotected AP every time you want something from the net?
No, not realy
Dear xdaians
I am getting some problems in my new Note 4 SM 910G[India] after updating to the lollipop.
1. The wifi is getting turned ON automatically. Even if i turn it OFF, the next moment it will turn ON. This affecting the WiFi hotspot. Whenever i try to turn ON the wifi hotspot, after some time it will show one message "Turning on wifi will disable the WiFi hotspot" and WiFi turns ON automatically. So i have to use the "Forget network" option to get out from the wifi network. But it becomes really hectic. I googled the same but could not get similar ones or others are getting the problem like WiFi is turning OFF automatically.
2. Mobile network is getting disconnected. I don't see any problem with network operator or the SIM tray. Sometimes the "Network mode" option will be cleared automatically and no operators are available in "Network operators" and mobile is disconnected. It requires a restart to connect the mobile to the network back. If i try to select any option in "Network mode", the option becomes disabled!.
Any solution for the above two issues?. Divert the thread if you have any known solutions.
Thanks and regards,
Prajeesh

Sometimes you will need to wipe the device after a lollipop update so it should be stable.

Thanks Newyork!. The wifi issue got resolved after executing the wipe. However the network issue is still present and one another issue came up now is with bluetooth. Bluetooth control stops sometimes (Even-though it is connected ).
Trying to test the feature before I go overseas. Wifi calling is enabled, HD voice/advanced calling enabled. When I check the hidden menu in *#*#4636#*#* everything is checked.
I turn on airplane mode and enable wifi. When I try to make a call, the dialer says "turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call". I am connected to Wifi though and signal strength is solid. What is the problem?
You rooted? Don't know if that really matters but, I had use adb to edit the settings database. I never could get it to work till I did that. No root needed. Just Google wifi calling preferred ADB.

2 settings need to be changed I forgot but I think one is to prefer wifi and the other is to make wifi the preferred roaming method.

I am aware of that guide for ADB. However that is for preferred WiFi calling when both cellular and WiFi are available. It shouldn't help when I'm in airplane mode.

Had same problem with Verizon Wifi calling, fixed it
I had the same problem on my OG 2016 Pixel (rooted) running stock 7.1.2 ROM on VZW, but now fixed - here are the steps:
1. Open Testing Menu (dial *#*#4636#*#* on dialpad).
2. tap the "Phone information" menu.
3. Toggle on the "VoLTE Provisioned" slider (this was toggled off by default on mine). (Also make sure "Wifi Calling Provisioned" is toggled on.)
4. Using the Quicksettings dropdown menu, toggle Airplane Mode.
5. IMPORTANT NOTE - When I tried the 1st time it didn't work because entering Airplane Mode greyed out Wifi icon and disabled all Wifi connections (and data icon showed "no service"), even though Wifi was previously toggled on.
6. To remedy this, drop down your Quicksettings menu again and simply touch the Wifi connections shortcut, wait a couple seconds and all Wifi connections will repopulate, and default Wifi connection should re-connect.
7. Now hit the back button to the Quicksettings dropdown menu, wait another couple seconds and the data icon should change to "Verizon Wireless Wi-Fi Calling" - Wifi calling should now work

I appreciate the suggestion. I had tried toggling all those options previously but I did it again per your instructions. It did not work.
My quicksettings text goes from "Verizon Wireless" to "Airplane mode" when it is enabled. Then when I put WiFi back on it goes BLANK. It does not say "Verizon Wireless WiFi Calling" like yours did. Any ideas?
I don't understand. I have a cellular signal and my wifi calling just stays on. All I did was change 2 values in the Database.

I guess I never caught that fact. Mine doesn't stay on all the time. But, as soon as I walk in my house it pops on. My wife has an S7 and I can't get hers to work unless I turn the cellular off. Evidently Samsung does not have the same settings database.

Perhaps a local router misconfiguration?

I've heard that a local Wi-Fi router mis-configuration may be the reason Wi-fi calling fails in some instances.
I would test it out on a different router, or have someone with a known good Wi-fi calling phone setup test on your router to eliminate that possibility.
I've also heard that Wi-fi calling breaks when upgrading to Oreo for some folks. Curious what Android version you're running?

It will work on pixels if the carrier has wifi calling and your provisioned for it. The menus are different on other phones.

It's not provisioned for VOLTE so wifi calling won't work. If you talk real nice to someone at customer service they might do it for you.

Thanks. I'll go to a location and try.
I ran into the same issue, possibly after Magisk install on custom RR Rom (Marlin/Latest April Oreo build). It had worked one time but I guess installing Magisk was the most recent change I could think of after which it stopped working with the error message reported by OP. Anyways the only thing that worked was to do a "Network Setting Reset" , then setup Wifi (Airplane mode on) again and Wifi Calling settings back to On with Wi-Fi preferred.
Note: Also in "Mobile Network" in Settings, need to ensure "Roaming/Connect to data services when roaming" option is selected for the "Wifi Preferred" option to stick.

I purchased a Global version 1+7P (GM1917) directly from OnePlus. Then I signed up for T-Mobile service.
I am having problems with calls coming in over Wi-Fi. However, in Settings under Wi-Fi & internet, there is no Wi-Fi calling entry, so I cannot find how to turn off Wi-Fi calling.
Is there another method for turning it off? A package I can disable? (I have root.)

Under Settings -> Wi-Fi & internet -> SIM & network, there is Preferred network type, but that only set 2G/3G/4G. Nothing about Wi-Fi calling. I couldn't find anything called 'Mobile network'.

either install the new onepluslogkit app and *#800# into oneplus logkit/function switch/volte+vowifi switches on
This option will allow you to turn on/off as above. but in sim settings/ Sim1/Enhanced Communications
Or *#*#4636#*#* and turn off provisioning for volte/vowifi.

Tried the OnePlusLogKit, but the *#800# didn't bring up anything.
Tried *#*#4636#*#*, but when I toggled 'WiFi Calling Provisioned', it would "stick" - the Update button produced an error, and it reset on reboot.

That did it! I didn't realize there were more settings under SIM 1. The Wi-Fi Calling under it doesn't show up on searching in Settings. Thanks.

What kind of problems are you having with calls over wifi? I plan to use the 7pro on tmobile so I'm just curious

This may all be my misconstruing the problem. After turning off wifi call, I tried calling my wife (which was where I notice the problem), and we still couldn't hear each other. Yet when I call voicemail, I can hear it and I can change my announcement which shows that the phone does work both ways. Therefore, now I'm thinking that wifi calling was not the issue, and the fault is somewhere with t-mobile. The mystery continues.
The mystery deepens. Using Google Hangouts Dialer (which goes over wifi), calling my wife fails (nothing heard either way), but calling voicemail, again, works just fine. I just don't get it.

Thanks for this thread. I knew I saw that somewhere but forgot to check the SIM menu.
Why isn't it in settings search when even dev options are?
Why does TMO lie and way it is in the same spot as most phones, in their article specifically about the OP7p?
My issue in on a WiFi call, sometimes I can't hear them (but they can hear me), sometime from the call start other times mid-call, and turning off WiFi fixes it. I have 1000mb fiber and no other network issues. Too bad it doesn't work. Thanks for helping me disable it.
Hi all,
with my former 5T and 7T I was able to automatically switch back to mobile data when there is no internet access on a wifi connection. Theres a setting called "Switch to mobile data automatically" in the wifi settings.
However, there is no such option on the 8T.
Any ideas?
I think what you're looking for ((MAYBE)) is under setting>WiFi & Network>Dual-channel network acceleration. Turn on the top settings...at least.

I've spotted a setting there to use mobile data all the time, even when WIFI is used for a faster switchback. This option also exists additionally on my former OnePlus phones. So it's not exactly what I was looking for.
I'll try out that option to use mobile data when there is slow or unreliable wifi settings. Maybe that covers it and OnePlus just moved and renamed that setting.
