Hi all, my WiFi Calling (VOWiFI) is working at home and on most public networks but not on the work WiFi, can anyone please advise if there is a way around this please as it would be extremely handy at work due to the lack of phone signal. I've tried using a VPN but with no luck. I'm not sure what ports is uses or how to check if they are open. Thanks

hey guys i have a problem with my wifi after flashing to ARHD 5.2.6...
sometimes i'm able to use the wifi for awhile before stuffs stop moving/loading so i'm unable to use the internet even though it shows that i'm connected... the market keeps loading and downloads doesn't move... my laptop has no problem with the wifi at home...
during some other times it seems to be problem-free... i do not think it's the wifi in my home that has problems because i was able to use the wifi at home w/o problem before flashing to ARHD...
this problem happened to me too when i used the wifi in my school... however, when i moved to another area in school, i was able to use the wifi there... the signal in both areas were great, laptops were able to use wifi in both areas without any hiccups...
please note that i had no problems with any wifi i was connected to before i flashed to ARHD...
I have no T-Mobile tower reception at work, and was looking forward to the wifi calling capability to come to the rescue with this new phone/service. Unfortunately, my work wifi requires a proxy-serverort for browser connection, and once I update the wireless connection with these settings - I am able to browse fine.
Regardless of the wireless signal strength, the WiFi Calling status states : Poor WiFi signal, before timing out with REG99 error - unable to connect. I have also noticed on this phone and the HTC EVO 4G, that while on wifi at work, my download speeds (via speednet) are high (>10mbps), but nothing shows up in the upload section.
Given the above, and knowledgeable of the fact that my corporate network does shut down access to other ports - is there any workaround to enable wifi calling behind a proxied network? I have even tried to add a new APN to include the proxyort to no avail.
wifi calling from the home network works without any issues, and yes i am rooted.
TIA for any help.
Found the solution. Turns out that accessing the proxied wireless network was the root cause of the issue. We also have access to a guest network, that interestingly does not require a proxy connection to the outside world, and that works perfectly fine!
Still unanswered then, is what ports does this phone require that are being blocked by the proxy server?
I would also like to know the answer to this. I do not have access to another wifi server to test this. What is weird though is that my Sensation that I just got rid of had no issues with wifi calling on the same network, explain that!
We all know the 5x has some issues . And I'm thankful mine is just limited to the wifi chip.... I've tried the heat method a few time ... Which did work to be honest
But it would seem that ship has sunk as I'm not able to do it anymore
The phone is however still fully functional just no wifi .... And obviously I can't live on data
Is there a way to run an external wifi adaptor .just for updates ? And at home
This is what I currently have
anyone
can your 5x search wifi networks?
or the wifi list is completely blank.??
I have terrible cell signal at home, so rely on wifi calling to make my phone function as, well, a phone. However, recently something has changed where WiFi calling no longer appears to work even though I have it enabled. Actually, that's not strictly true, it works, but only randomly and seems to not be available the majority of the time.
Previously, as I could often get 1 bar of signal, what I would do is enable airplane mode, then turn wifi back on to get wifi calling working. However, this no longer works. I have reset network settings, re-enabled and registered Wifi calling, checked with my provider that Wifi calling is available, used the Samsung Band Selection app to set to prefer using Wifi calling over cell data. I'm sure there are other things I have tried, ultimately, nothing seems to work.
Wifi speeds are good, I'm at the end of my rope with it.
It's a Sprint (T-Mobile) phone, still on a Sprint SIM here, spent an hour with support yesterday and they basically had me repeat everything I have already tried before telling me they will have to escalate it.
Anyone else having issues? Any idea what to do?
Thanks.
Not sure if this will help, but you might want to look into what port wifi calling uses and make a port forwarding entry in your modem. I just remember long ago when tmobile had their TM-AC1900 router,something about it having certain ports open to allow for wifi calling. This was before they released their 4g lye personal cellspots.....this was a wifi cellspot

These may help.....
P.s i have Xfinity for home internet and tmobile for a carrier.....my wifi calling has been weird at times out of the home while connected to Xfinity hotspots......and long story short, now that Xfinity has their own cell service they may be crippling ports....just a thought....manually forwarding those wifi calling ports should fix that if that's the case....
Hey,
Wondering if anyone else is having problems with 5ghz Hotspot wifi tethering? I can activate the setting but I can't always connect to it with my other devices. Most of the time it works the first time I activate 5Ghz hotspot, however if I toggle it off and then back on again, it won't work anymore until I restart the phone. The UI will show me that the hotspot is active but my other devices won't be able to find it.
I've tried it on multiple roms including a fresh install of the latest default MiUI rom, all with the same problem. I saw posts on reddit claiming that it could be a UK region bug and to try change the region to France but this doesn't solve the issue either.
2.4Ghz hotspot works everytime, however is a bit slower than 5Ghz, so I'm keen to try and get this issue resolved.
Any help is appreciated.

some devices arent capable of connecting to 5Ghz wifi
some devices arent capable of connecting to a WPA3 security wifi

Yeah I understand that, however that doesn't explain why the hotspot works the first time, and never again until a device reboot.
My other devices support both 5Ghz and WPA3.
