Since sprint has such a horrible network (just bad, no like worse than your thinking...like really bad) in the past I've really liked having wifi calling on previous galaxy phones b/c my work has wifi, but I get little to no signal from sprint. However on my 6P i couldn't find the setting at first but can search settings for "wifi" and find a wifi calling page that has on/off toggle. This toggle is not found anywhere else (phones settings/wifi settings, etc). If i toggle it on, it toggles back off with no errors/warnings 5-10sec later.
Any one got any idea how/if its possible to get this working with sprint?
On my T-Mobile variant, there is a persistent notification for wifi calling. Is there anyway to remove this without turning off the feature?
I would also like to know. Its annoying as hell
go into the wifi calling options and choose to prefer cellular instead of wifi, at least then its not there unless you need it. there is no way to remove it (when its on) w/o root.
just got the phone yesterday and updated it to the P beta. everything works amazingly well for a beta in my opinion, BUT i cant receive calls. outgoing calls, texts, web and apps are just fine.
spent almost 2 hours at tmobile flipping all the settings around and no luck. any ideas would be appreciated.
Same issue here bro...Incoming don't ring but I get voicemail notifications.... Really annoying, even if it is a DP.
Turns out the beta doesn't play well with the essential LTE. Switch to 3g and calls will come through. Hopefully it doesn't take long to find a work around for it
I believe the people having this issue have volte enabled...try and disable volte (it's broken anyway and more than likely why calls won't ring through) and see if that works
Got same issue... My experience was that I could solve the problem with reboot.
Issue came after playing on settings for mobile network.
Is meaning, when you do this you have to reboot afterwards otherwise you can't receive calls
Try it.

Tried rebooting multiple times while changing settings around. The only way I can get the calls to come through is by going without LTE completely.

Settings/network settings/mobile network/advanced/enhanced LTE?
I had the same issue and to fix mine I just enabled Wifi Calling.
When on wifi I didn't get a call, just missed call notification. After enabling wifi calling, it comes through without issue.
I tested calling off wifi and on wifi and all calls come through good now.
This could be similar, so you guys might want to look at that also.
Good luck!
Heard from a few that this was solved by going into phone app settings -> calls -> calling accounts, then turning on "receive incoming calls". Seems it's disabled to save battery? Can't confirm as I just flashed to try it out and then went back to 8.1 because I like themes too much. Lol.
I'm on Sprint and was never able to make or receive calls regardless of Network settings in the easily accessible options menu.
The following fixed my issue. You can access this menu without downloading an app but I forget how so it's easier to just download the free app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
I had my network mode set to LTE/CDMA when first using this app, and somewhere in the middle I changed it to CDMA but I'm not sure how much that impacted the actual fix.
These were my steps. I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause to your device as I'm not sure if messing with these settings is foolproof or not.
First, opened previously linked app "Force LTE" then under "Set Preferred Network Type" I changed to CDMA only. Enabled/disabled airplane mode. This seemed to do nothing as LTE was still showing in statusbar.
I then chose CDMA auto (PRL), airplane mode on/off, didn't seem to do much either. LTE still showed in statusbar and couldn't make calls. Also "Voice Network Type" showed "Emergency Calls only" inside the app.
I then chose the 3 dot menu and chose "select radio band". I changed that to United States, without resolving problem. Then selected "Cellular 800" and this may have solved the problem, but I continued on and selected PCS, fiddled with some settings in Phones settings menu. Was finally able to receive calls and my signal indicator showed 3G. In app Voice Network Type was listed as 1xRtt. I decided to select radio band once more and chose Class 10.
Calls were still functioning fine. So I went into Main settings menu and changed mobile network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA. LTE kicked in and calls still work!
Again, these settings may only work for Sprint hence the PCS Network option, and I believe Sprint may utilize the 800mhz frequency. The app might show you different options depending on your carrier. I don't know.
Anyway, fully functioning! Woohoo!!

I don't have anything in my settings that says "enhanced LTE" .
Tried using the 4g/LTE and the LTE only options. Neither would let calls through.
I have this problem using the Essential PH-1 with Android 9 Pie in South Korea on the KT network. It should be fully compatible, according to radio specifications, however it only works when I change the following setting:
Settings | Network & Internet | Mobile network | Advanced | Preferred network type | 3G
This is not ideal, since it makes the Internet slow, but at least I can make/receive voice calls. I submitted a support ticket to Essential requesting their official help (I'm well within warranty).
I had the same issue when I use my Att prepaid plan. The problem is caused by wrong network type, you can send text and browse internet, because they use the different channel. My PH-1 wrongly recognized the sim as CDMA/LTE mode, just switch it to 4G/LTE, it will be work. Go to Settings, then search "wi-fi calling", point "advanced" then you can see an opinion "Preferred network type" if you are ATT or T-mobile user, and your preferred network type is "LTE/CDMA“ then your phone cannot make call. Switch it to "4G/LTE", you phone will be work. BTW, Verzion uses CDMA, so if you are Verzion user, CDMA/LTE will work for you phone.
I can't seem to find any settings in the call settings or settings,I just want to verify it's actually on. Does anyone know how to turn it on and turn it off?

i dont have the volte option under network settings either but it is working. i think the option is automatically enabled based on your sim card settings. i am on verizon.
There's no VoLTE toggle anymore. You're forced to use VoLTE on tmobile. Testing it is easy... just make a call. VoLTE means voice over LTE. If VoLTE was unavailable you'd be unable to make, or receive calls. The handshake would fail.
With 2G/3G towers being converted it sorta makes sense to prevent 2G/3G calls.
I've been getting complaints about my cell phone connection for about a week now, and I've realized that I'm on voLTE. I quickly found the setting but it's grayed out! I can't toggle it off at all. I've tried limiting my networks around, I suppose the fastest fix would be to dock it down all the way to 3g (and while I'm home that doesn't seem like a bad option) but I'm wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience.
I'll likely launch another sprint ticket but I've already yelled at them once today about my bill (regarding the purchase of the s20)
My whole family is having this issue, they live in a place with 1 or 2 bars of nothing and it won't switch to wifi calling unless they put their phones in airplane mode or switch to 2G(GSM). But in certain places it will switch to wifi calling, it says in the Wifi Calling FAQ that as of April it would be prioritizing VOLTE over WiFi Calling.
Go into settings, General Management , Reset and Reset Network settings. You will have to log back on to your wifi and turn on Wifi Calling afterwards. It should then work. I have to do this occasionally.

On my Sprint S20, I was able to use Samsung Band Selector app to disable VOLTE, but it knocked out 5G. I have not been able to have VOLTE but still get 5G working with Sprint. Anyone else?
