Calling issues after AC1.0 upgrade - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the update ive had nothing but problems with service and people actually hearing me during a call. Seems to be mostly at home where I also have a network extender cause my service sucks at the house. At any rate, I was wondering if anyone else has had issues WITH a network extender after the update to advance calling??
Not sure what to do besides unplug extender and hope I don't miss calls.

There's issue if drop out of 4G LTE and back.
Were you having issues with calls before? Or was that the reason for the extender?
You might try disabling the Advanced calling it and see if it persists. If so, it could be more than your extender. If it doesn't then perhaps it's the extender?

airplane mode with wifi

On my old HTC dash I was able to turn off all services independently in a way that i could insure that my phone was off yet I could still use my WiFi. This worked well for vacations so that i did not receive any roaming charges for people who may call my phone while gone. The only thing I think that may work is an app called apndroid? Any other suggestions?
Force EVDO?

you can have wifi on in airplane mode...in sense there is also a setting to disable the mobile network. it even has a convenient little widget. or in mobile network setting u can set it to home only. out of home network evdo wont work with that. u can also change it to only sync data and background services with wifi. if that helps at all

Are you on Sprint? As I understand it, most of the unlimited data plans have no roaming these days...
When you go to wireless and networks and enable airplane mode, you are still able to turn your wifi on..
Nothing should have to be changed to allow this...
When I turn off Mobile Network, I am still able to place calls... I just lose EvDO.
Because after you turn off mobile network, when you press call, it automatically turns it on for the duration of the call.
Turn airplane mode on, and see if you can hit wifi...

Mobile Network != phone radio.
If you turn off Mobile Network, it's turning off data only. The only way to turn off the phone radio without turning on Airplane Mode is to go into *#*#4636#*#* turn it off in Phone Info.
However, wireless should work just fine in Airplane Mode. Just use the Wi-Fi on/off widget from HTC or the Power Control android widget.
While i have an unlimited plan I will be outside the US where there may or may not be sprint coverage. I have turned on airplane mode from both holding down the power as well as from the settings menu. Both options do not allow you to turn on wifi after airplane mode is on. I am still running stock 1.5 sense android. Not sure what others are running.

[Q] EVDO & Wifi enabled at the same time

The topic says it all.
Is there a way to keep 3G & Wifi enabled at the same time ?
Or is it possible to control the stack routing table, to control when to change from Wifi to 3G(Signal Strength, battery level, ...).
My goal is to make a smooth transition from 3G to Wifi and Wifi to 3G, so they must be enabled together for a short period of time.
As tested in this thread : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5974482
When Wifi is turned on, rmnet0 in the routing table table disappears, and reappears when disabling WIFI.
So as I can't retain rmnet0, I can't manage the routing table as I want.
If I'm missing something please let me know.
Thanks.
I keep both wifi and mobile enabled all the time on my phone.
Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > Never.
Then make sure wifi and mobile are both enabled on your phone.
That setup gives you wifi hookup whenever wifi is available, and mobile connection when wifi isn't available. You're always connected to one or the other, even when you're on the move, and the switching is seamless and transparent.

Nice tip.
Thanks
Thanks, but isn't there a way to control and manage this.
For example, both are enabled with sleep policy and everything done like you just said.
So I am on 3G network, detect WIFI, but don't want to connect to it, due to certain parameters, like battery, signal strength, ...
Or can I just rely on the automatic switching when WIFI is detected nearby ?
Don't know if you guys know this or not. But having WiFi conected gives you the ability to be on the phone and web at the same time.

Automatic WiFi

Hey guys I know there's a way to automatically connect and disconnect Wi-Fi I thought it was called Smart Switch but apparently it's not does anyone have any idea what it's called?

Smart Switch is for moving content between devices.
Smart Network Switch is for automatically moving from WiFi to Mobile Data, in theory without losing ongoing connections.
The Edge Panel "My Places" can be configured to automatically enable/disable WiFi (and other things) based upon your location (location being configured a small number of ways).
There's probably an App to do it another way (like Wi-Fi Matic - which I've never tried - linky).
It took me a minute to find it but if you go into Wi-Fi settings & tap "more" you'll find the smart network switch option.. It used to be under advanced & somehow I was just missing it when I went to the advanced settings

How to disable wi-fi calling

I used AT&T S7 edge in cricket wireless. The annoying AT&T wi-fi calling service keeps trying to activate itself whenever I have wi-fi connection. I already set wi-fi calling in phone setting to off. But it still automatically wakes itself up in background. Is there any way I can disable it.

WiFi won't connect to know Networks when screen is off

As the title suggests, my phone will not connect to known WiFi networks if I do not wake the phone myself.
Image being away from home, having both mobile data and WiFi enabled. The screen is off throughout the whole time and when I reach home it is supposed to connect to my WiFi. Instead, it connects to my WiFi only if I wake the phone. If I leave the phone sleeping (standby) it will stay on mobile data, unless I wake the phone myself.
Is this regular behaviour?
PS. The phone has not problem retaining connection to WiFi networks when sleeping. It just won't make a new connection even to know networks.
There is a setting in wifi settings under advanced where you can change how and when the wifi must be on/off.

If you mean "Keep WiFi on during sleep", I have it enabled already!
Have you played around with power saving settings?
