mobile data unavailable during calls - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Anyone know how to turn this off? Not yet rooted S8 VZW version (USA).

As far as I'm aware this is common on most handsets and happens as a result to boost and strengthen your network connection if weak.

Settings -> Advanced Calling -> Activate Advanced Calling
Once you get that activated you'll be able to talk and surf data at the same time as long as you're on LTE.

3 way conference

I conference all the time when I used to be on T-mobile network. Now I switched to Simple Mobile network and all I can do on it is 2-way calling. Is there any way I can bypass this or is this a network thing?

I'm pretty sure its a network thing, they sometimes give you the option of 3way calling for extra charge. it just depends on the network.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the network that I am now on does not support conferencing, which is a bit disappointing to me.

No internet on my 6P while on a call

Just got my 6P today, activated it on Verizon, and noticed I have no internet access while on a call. upgraded from a Galaxy S4 which was able to do both at the same time. Any ideas?

1) Check to make sure your APN protocol is set to IPv6.
2) Make sure you've selected "Enchanced 4G LTE Mode" under Cellular network settings.
3) Open the dialer and press *#*#4636*#*# to access the hidden phone settings menu. Make sure that it reads "TURN OFF VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG" (as this will mean that it's currently active.)
4) Beyond that I'd call Verizon and ask to speak to a technical support expert.
You have to call Verizon to turn on the HD calling. It's a feature that let's you do what you asked. Been there, done it.

Went to verizon.com and activated it. Works fine now, thanks.

Enabling WiFi calling on g900v after switching networks

So, I was an idiot and didn't activate advanced calling on my Verizon S5 before switching to T-Mobile. Now when I go into settings and advanced calling, it tells me I need to activate Advanced Calling Features to enable them. When I click activate, it gives me an error every time.
I stupidly thought I could just put in my old sim card and try, but that didn't work either.
Is there any way that I can enable advanced calling and WiFi calling on my Verizon S5 without reconnecting to the Verizon Network?

Using wi-fi calling on a G900A on T-mobile

I just now switched from AT&T to T-mobile because I finally got sick of AT&T for various reasons including very high prices. The network lock is removed. How can I get wi-fi calling to work on this phone? When I try to enable it, I get "To enable this service you must confirm your emergency address.". Then I see "Wi-Fi calling lets you make and receive calls over Wi-Fi with your AT&T account. When you use Wi-Fi Calling, information about the country where the Wi-Fi connection is made will be sent to your carrier. Learn more about Wi-Fi Calling.". The last two words are a link to https://m.att.com/shopmobile/wireless/features/wifi-calling.html?referrer=. It seems there's a hangup of AT&T versus T-mobile. What should I be doing to get this working?
In case anyone is wondering, this particular phone is being used because it must be kept unrooted. I have a G900T that has been rooted.

Can S8 G950U VZW Advanced Calling be enabled w/o VZW activation?

How can I enable for MVNO (StraightTalk) with Verizon S8 G950U device, Advanced Calling (HD calling VoLTE/simultaneous use of mobile and voice data)?
Device is rooted with PartCyborgRom/SamPWND method mentioned by @still_mohawk, #355.
Would switching to ST sim for AT&T or T-Mobile fix?
I believe both carriers do not restrict simultaneous use of mobile and voice data?
Note: StraightTalk Wireless services can use either big 4 carrier network.
Any thoughts to enable dual use data/voice would be appreciated, thank you for any help you can share!

Yes but it won't work, at least not with wifi calling. I forced mine and I just stopped getting phonecalls lol.
You can try volte I think everyone has that activated if you don't already have it on. Use the app "shortcut master" and find the secret code that takes you to the settings app for it
I loaded Shortcut Master and found VoLTETestUI (com.test.LTEfunctionality) favorited and opened settings, turned ON N/W settings and when making a call the LTE stays on but the phone immediately hangs up. I changed the mode starting at 0-9 but none worked to maintian LTE connection. Is there an "HVoLTE test mode" setting that will work? Is there an APN setting that will keep LTE on during calls for mobile data/browsing?

CyberFem, any luck with this? I'm in the same boat. Tried shortcut master, got as deep as you did. Can't get VoLTE to work with my verizon s8 on total wireless (verizon mvno). TIA
No luck here.
