T-Mobile WiFi v6.0.1 - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having problems with WiFi calling since the upgrade and could use some help. Prior to 6.0.1, I would be able to see the phone was connected to T-Mobile for WiFi calling but since the upgrade, even though I'm connected to WiFi, the phone won't connect to T-Mobile WiFi calling. It doesn't ring or received SMS. There are rare times it will connect, but for the most part, it doesn't.
Any ideas?

Reboot? On mine I've had times when wifi calling just seemed to refuse to connect. Rebooting usually got it working again. Not sure if I've seen this since 6.0.1 but definitely prior.

Yea, but that seems to be a temporary fix. It will lose the connection again. Frustrating.

this may sound dumb, but did Wifi Calling get turned off during the upgrade? May be worth checking (unless you already have, then I'll just shut up!)
I'm on 6.0.1 and use t-mobile wifi calling for the majority of my calls without issue.

It is on, Cellular preferred. I had it on wifi preferred but the call quality anytime on wifi isn't good enough. It will connect but then loses the connection at some point.

When on Wifi, cell signal switches from 4G and I lose all bars

So when I'm on wifi in my house, my phone appears to switch to edge or something and I lose most connectivity (goes from 4 bars to none). Enough to initiate a call, but simple head turning will cause me to drop. If I turn off wifi, I get 4G back and full bars and no dropped calls.
Wifi calling is too inconsistent to rely on, and this basically makes my phone unusable. I don't want to keep wifi off, as it's a lot faster and I only get 2.5Gbs of high speed data to use a month.
I'm also in the middle of a major city with great coverage 4G coverage, as long as I'm not on wifi....

If you go into your wireless settings, you can uncheck Wifi Calling so that if you do connect to Wifi, you will retain your regular amount of calling bars.

I appreciate the response, but I've already had wifi calling off.. because that feature was basically useless (could not rely on it ever).
My wife Note3 got the same problem, set cellular network preferred and then turn off wi-fi calling. Lose all cell signal bars. When no cell signal, caller ID became funny, like 718-123-4567;oli=63 212-123-4567;oli=00, had no idea.
My own note3 had the same setting, but everything fine. full cell signal bar. Try to google it, no glue!!!
Then I returned my wife note3 and get another one, everything fine.
I had the same problem. When I was on wifi I had no signals. I got a new sim card and the problem is now gone.

i dont think thats the issue, and why do you care because if you call someone it should be able to call and once you need to switch back to tmo it will w/o issue.

Uhh... it certainly doesn't switch back to t-mobile without issue. I drop the call. I haven't had a single call work the entire time while leaving my wifi on in my home.
Clearly, when it's on wifi, even if you have wifi calling turned off, it switches to some other network specifications, which appear to barely work where I live. The problem likely lies in the fact that when you turn wifi calling off, it does not switch your cellular network preferences back to normal properly, Instead, when wifi calling is off and you're still on wifi, it just doesn't route things through wifi, but doesn't actually change your mobile network settings back properly.

well here's a question do you leave mobile data on even though you're connected to WiFi? As i have no problem because i have bars even when connected to WiFi because i leave mobile data on and have WiFi calling turned off. even if WiFi calling is turned off, and i turn WiFi off it switched to T-Mo network in seconds and i'm able to call someone so yeah no issue. you clearly have a problem with something or its the network where you live.
i'm not trying to be rude but it just doesn't make sense to me that you're having issues with something that shouldn't be a problem.

This doesn't actually work currently on the Note 3. there is a bug where any time you have wifi on the cellular entenna turns off regardless of the state of your wifi calling on a very large number of Note 3's. Lost Soul clearly hasn't been reading on the threads here. there are many on this topic. We get that you don't have the issue LostSoul, but that doesn't mean it isn't an issue.

Thanks Hughes,
I have found that when it enters that state, that if I go and turn wifi calling on and then set it to mobile-network preferred, it turns the cellular modem back on, at least for a little while. Can you point me in the direction of a more robust thread where others are discussing the issue?

I've flashed a rom as well and it appears as it might be fixed... hope so.. my phone is useless if it can't function as a phone while on wifi.
I had same issue. Called TMo and had them unregister my wifi calling, and got bars back immediately. I had wifi calling turned off, but it seemed to be the default regardless. I could only receive and make calls with wifi turned off...but it all works fine now.
That didn't work for me

I called Tmo four times and asked them to unregister wifi calling. They said that it wasn't even turned on for my account then that it doesn't matter what is or isn't turned on. The phone is going to run calls, text over whatever wireless connection it thinks is appropriate. When you have a strong wifi connection, it chooses that connection regardless of wifi calling being turned off or on. I set the wifi calling preference to cellular networks and it still does the same thing.
I'm pretty pissed off about it. Anyone fix this?
Not true. I shut off Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobiles site and bars came back. Had the exact same problem.

[Q] Wifi Calling working but Off Under More Networks (Answered)

Hello,
I've found out that my wifi calling is being used even though I have it off in the settings of the phone. Although it's off I still can select the options under Connection Preferences: Wifi Perfered, Cellular Networkin Prefered and Never use Cell Network (not sure if that matters or not). I choose the 2nd option and noticed dropped calls around the outer edge of my wifi. But wifi calling is turned off. How do you permanently turn this feature off?
I do use wifi when I'm within my wifi area. But had no idea that wifi calling was still being used when set to off. Do I have to disable wifi all together?
Ok. I've found out that this is known issue doing more a search online. The only fix is to disable wifi altogether. There have been other suggestions but none of them fix it. I've heard that exchanging the sim chip that disables wifi calling might work but haven't heard anything consistent with that fix.
I'm just perplexed by this. This is a great phone yet whenever you enable wifi you enable wifi calling regardless if it's off. I just don't get how something like this would be considered a standard feature when other phones just don't do that by default. If I didn't stumble upon this information I would have never guessed that it was the main cause for my dropped calls.
Thanks about that update it could help others soon.
NP, I have to wonder if this is really a standard none controllable feature on the phone or if the carrier can disable it?. If wifi calling is controllable on the phone and you can turn it on or off jet remain on then I have to wonder what other external force is keeping it on when you turn it off?
Did the maker just simply forget to remove the ability to control wifi calling because turning it off simply doesn't work.
or
Is this something that the carrier did
or
Is this something with the sim chip
Another thing I've found that seems to be related to this. If you try to access your acct while Wifi is enabled it suppose to switch from wifi to 4G but it doesn't (and you can't access your account in tmo. while in wifi. Perhaps different software updates were used but it was seamless back then on a different phone.
This brings up another interesting observation. Once wifi is enabled you can't auto enable your 4g network when it's needed. IE: You can't review your acct for one. Is there a way to make sure that your phone has 4G LTE priority whenever wifi is enabled?
I don't know also how to prioritize the 4G LTE over wifi, good observation.

Update, I was able to use an old version of my account (which was used on an older phone) and was able to confirm that it is programed to disable wifi connection and activate the 4g services while using the my acct app without having to disable wifi manually. A message even popped up to tell you so. And once you exited the my acct app it would restore your wifi connection from 4g. So it is controlled via the program itself.
So it begs the question, why doesn't the newer version not do this? This now looks like 2 separate issues with wifi and wifi calling.
Verify if Wifi Calling is still enabled even though you have it disabled
I just found a way to verify if wifi calling is still enabled even though you have it disabled on the Note 3. Here is what you need to do.
1. Make sure that wifi calling is disabled
2. Make sure that wifi is already enabled and in use
3. Stand right next to your wifi router
4. Make a call
5. Listen to hear any wired sounding ringback (the sound you hear to let you know that a call is actually ringing the recipients phone).
6. If you do notice a wired sounding ringback complete the call and stay on the line for about 30 seconds or so.
7. Disable wifi while on the call.
8. Once disabled did your call drop?
This is what I did in order to verify if wifi calling is still enabled even though I have it disabled on my phone.
I'm not going to say it's happening to every one. Nor would I suggest it's a bad feature for those who need wifi calling. I just don't understand why I'm forced to use wifi calling when I fully capable of using my 4g network.

Can you check and tell if you still have signal (bars) when you are connected to WiFi? Or does it become blank (0 bars)?

That is weird. I tried your steps, I couldn't recreate the problem. Just to make sure, I was talking about the phone network signal, not Wifi signal.
If the bars were becoming 0, there is a fix. But otherwise, it may be a faulty unit. You can try and get it replaced.
BTW, try this and see if it helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698329
Thanks man! Gonna try this
Rahulisola, thanks for the link. I was able to fix the issue by doing a factory reset. Not sure what caused it but now I can disable wifi and the call stays connected. Although I found it odd that wifi calling was forced enabled during the reset while I was setting up the wifi network. Disabling it after the factory reset setup did prove it was really off this time. I also noticed that I'm not seeing "HD Voice" which I know assume is related to wifi calling. As I've seen HD Voice whenever I was within my wifi range during a call.
Also, Lorettaa thanks for looking into this as well. I really don't know what caused the problem but I'm glad it's fixed now . No more of pitched ring backs while making a call. And no more odd echo voices when talking. And most importantly no dropped calls.

Glad that it is solved. Usually I always do factory reset 1st and ask anyone with problems to do that too. My bad, I assumed you had already done it. Must be some other thread. Too much work catching up on me

Not connected to Mobile Network after being on Wifi?

This has been a frustrating issue I've been having pretty much since starting up my T-mobile service about a month ago.
To start off, my G3 is unrooted and on the latest stock software version, 20e.
I use Wifi calling often because I get 0-1 bars of reception at work. All seems to work well until I go outside and try to make a phonecall over the voice network. I'll have plenty of signal bars, be connected to 4G even, yet when I try to use the phone dialer to make a call it will say "Not connected to Mobile Network." or something along those lines.
I haven't done extensive testing, but I believe the other day I toggled the "Mobile Data" off then back on and was able to make calls.
Has anyone else had this trouble? Is it something possibly to do with Wifi and/or Wifi calling?
I believe I could make a phonecall using Hangouts when I was off of wifi, which tells me that the data part is working, but not the voice network.
I contacted T-mobile support, but they just had me do the "typical" things, like shut down the phone, remove the battery/SIM, start everything back up. And sure enough, it worked after that, but I'd rather not have to restart my phone or toggle stuff to get it to work as it should without any hassle.
Thanks!
My wife has the same problem after the 20E update. Her mobile is stock as well. It did not happen on 20B.

Off the top of my head no. I'll dig around a bit and see what if anything I come up with.,
From the digging I did I can't seem to find any help. The only thing I can think of is to factory reset it thing and see if it helps. I am going to do do it on my wifes phone tonight.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too... I'm not really in the mood to deal with restoring all of my apps and whatnot, so I'll hold off on the factory reset for now.
If you remember, could you let me know the results? If I know for fair certainty that a wipe will fix the issue, I might do it.
Thanks!
It's a network problem and it is worst on Samsung phones. I recently went and got a new sim card and it seems to have fixed it. I read it is because if you live in a area where there is poor coverage it causes your sim to where out fast.

This started happening before my first month of T-mobile service was even up with a brand new SIM. I'm not saying that it's definitely not a SIM issue, just would seem unlikely that it's worn out that fast.

Wifi Calling?

Any way to activate the wifi calling feature for the Sprint S6?
rooted and xposed installed
I've tried on every build so far on my GS6 and haven't been able to get it to turn on, but it sounds like a few people have gotten it to work. I've spoken with Sprint multiple times about it and the only remaining test they want to try is to factory reset the phone...which is funny since the first day I also couldn't enable WiFi calling. They recommended I take it into a Sprint store so someone else can look at it, and probably factory reset it. I just don't want to spend the next 6 hours customizing everything on my phone again. I've also heard that the battery life isn't very good with WiFi calling (maybe incorrectly), so that's been another reason for me to not take the plunge and factory reset.
Sprint did mention, during all those phone calls and chats that WiFi Calling must be enabled on your account/line for it to work, which they say they enabled for me, but it still doesn't work. Maybe that's your hang-up....
Works for me on stock OH1. Took awhile for the red line to disappear from the icon but when it did I made and received several calls using wifi calling.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
I am able to use wifi calling fine. I was just in Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia where I used wifi calling constantly to call and text people in the US. I am on stock OH1. When you enable wifi calling go to the wifi calling options and make sure the wifi access point you are connected to us enabled in the wifi calling. To the point above, yes it does often take 30 seconds to a minute to enable wifi calling on any access point. If it starts to take longer I toggle wifi calling off then on again.

How do you tell the phone that a particular wifi network is able to use wifi calling? Whenever I try to enable wifi calling it sends me straight to "Self Service".

Wanam Xposed module (note module not framework) breaks the ability to access WIFI calling feature. I reported it here in module thread.
I might recommend doing an RTN reset...I know you said you don't want to set everything up all over again. But I had issues when I first got the device. This completely reprovisions everything and in my case fixed WiFi calling not even being an option. I would make sure it shows in your account and then do the RTN reset.

WiFi calling not working

Does anyone have wifi calling working? I switched about a month ago to Project Fi as AT&T did not allow wifi calling on my 2XL. Where I live cell service is almost non existent, so having wifi calling is a huge plus for me. However, the last few times I have tried to make a call it tells me the call cannot be completed. I have checked the settings and wifi calling is enabled, one thing I don't see (maybe not even on the 2XL) is the little + icon next to the wifi when wifi calling is available. On a previous phone if wifi calling was enabled, that little plus symbol was there to show it as active.
Anyone else having issues? Was not working on P DP4 and also not working on P DP5. Going to contact Fi if I cannot figure it out, but wanted to check here first.
Thanks.
on DP5 now.
I do not use Fi as primary number (AT&T is primary), but Fi is backup.
At times when I re-activate it takes a few minutes for wi-fi calling to work.
I generally turn on airplane mode, then turn on wi-fi, as at home I have strong cell signal so it usually goes over cell, but test wi-fi every so often.
It initially failed (as I just activated, told me to turn off airplane) but after the 2nd attempt it works again as expected.
It has been like that throughout the dev previews for me, though, Im not sure if they are to blame, its been quite awhile since I tried on O, so I dont recall any issue.
Wifi calling works fine on T-Mobile in the states
Found another thread saying that Hangouts needed to be installed for wifi calling to work, sure enough it worked when installing hangouts.
Just uninstalled it again though, set to airplane mode, activate WiFi, calling works. Weird. Will just leave it on airplane mode while home. Wonder if I can set something up in Tasker to enable airplane mode when connected to my home WiFi.
Weird, today tried to make a call and it failed again. Even with airplane mode active and WiFi activated. Installed Hangouts again and the calling works right away, I hate having to have an app installed just to use a basic function but oh well.

interesting. I had previously had hangouts and hangouts dialer installed (yesterday when I replied to you) uninstalled them today, re-activated Fi, turned on airplane mode, turned on wi-fi and call went straight thru.
Not sure what to make of it though, and I know it doesn't help you, just reporting.
Tried to make a call just now, Hangouts installed, did not go through. Disabled cellular data and the call went through fine. Going to play around some more with Hangouts uninstalled, wifi on, cell data off etc. and see if I can get it reliably working.
Anyone know if WiFi calling works on Verizon. I have unlocked Google certain if phone on Verizon service running Resurrection rom.

How did you get it working? Are you running a custom rom or stock? Do you have the Google version or Verizon version of the phone? Did you get a WiFi activation screen when you first turned on the wifi?

Been using Project Fi for around 10 months now. Switched to it because no cell provider could produce a reliable signal where I work so I needed the WiFi calling and it has worked almost perfectly for me. I would contact Project Fi support if I were you. On DP5 right now.

I am on a Verizon version Pixel 2 XL, so no root and pure stock. I just went to Settings>Network&internet>Mobile network>Advanced>Wi-Fi Calling and enabled it. I think maybe the first time I enabled it, it popped up a Enabling Wi-Fi Calling or something but that was it.

Verizon says it should work but it doesn't. I can go thru the same steps you mentioned but it wont actually connect.I also cant get google voicemail working...it keeps trying to use verizon's voicemail.
Wifi calling quit working again, anyone else have this problem? Fi support don't seem to have any clue, going through various settings that all seem to be making no difference whatsoever. If I try to make a call it just says "Cellular network not available" and the call fails.
Turning on Airplane mode and then Wifi - gives an error of "To make a call turn off airplane mode"
Hangouts, Google Connectivity Services, Carrier Services, and Google Play Services are all installed, enabled and with unrestricted data usage set to enabled.
Configure IMS calling is enabled
Wondering if I should disable and then re-enable the Google Fi carrier to see if that does anything.
Cell signal here is awful, which is why reliable wifi calling is so important.
Worked for a couple weeks, now back to the same old "Cellular network not available"
Bloody maddening.
Pixel 2 XL on Pie, UK network EE. Never had an issue with it, works flawlessly. I don't have to do anything like aeroplane mode. When I'm connected to Wifi it shows I'm using WiFi calling in pull down notifications and on-call screens. All I did was enable the feature, so on that basis, I would say it's not the feature and more likely the service/wifi being used.
