Anyone getting wifi calling to work? For me it randomly connects for a sec then drops. Then when I leave the building and disable wifi the service doesn't resume. Phone is not connecting to the towers and I am forced to restart it. Any ideas? Before I was getting wifi calling and when leaving the job normal service would resume.

Ran into some weird issues this weekend with my wifi connection with my focus.
The phone would randomly disconnect from my home network (strong signal, secured) and connect to an open network with weak signal. I would find this out as I would try to do something that required data and it would just hang and do nothing, I would have to go into settings and disconnect from the open network, reconnect to mine.
Frustrating that there was no way to force it to use our home network or to forget the other network and it stay forgotten.
Anyone had any similar issues. It was just this one day it did it, but was incredibly frustrating. I'm still within my 30 days, so if this is going to be an ongoing issue, I might should reurn the thing for something else.
Just popped open my S4 yesterday, and it has been fantastic. I've just been wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a problem with the smart wifi feature. Whenever you leave it on, if a Wifi Signal is a dynamic IP it seems to drop it if you move around within the area and is unable to connect with other routers hosting the same connection, however, when it switches to the data, either 3g or 4g, I am unable to resume data connections over the network, even after waiting a few minutes, and sometimes have had to restart it. Any others having this problem? Or am I just impatient.
It happened 4 times on my Note 3 in the last 10 days. I'm home or at work under wifi. Go out and try to use mobile data and I get an error message that I have no connection. Yet my LTE signal shows 50% and above in signal strength. I tried to turn on airplane mode to turn it off to force my phone to latch onto the closest cell tower and it's still doesn't fix the issue. If it happens while I try to upload some files, I check my email or try to browse the web and it confirms that I have no working connection to the web. I end up rebooting my phone and it fixes the issue. It's as if the phone is still looking for my wifi connection and "forgets" to switch to cellular connection once I leave the building. I know there is a setting under wifi that says to auto switch between wifi and mobile network but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Hi,
I have the strangest behavior with my wifi, the phone keeps connecting and disconnecting between 4G and WiFi every few seconds when i'm at home. This drains my battery in couple of hours and I can't do anything unless i turn off WiFi. I have smooth transition between 4G and Wifi enabled in settings (i've tried disabling it, all it did was to speed up connect and disconnect between 4G and wifi) Anyone else experiencing this strange behaviour with WiFi and 4g?
I have the same behavior. You need to disable "Smart network switch" under the advanced Wi-Fi settings. I have not found a fix that will allow leaving this feature enabled.
I disabled the "smart network switch" and my phone still refuses to connect to known networks that are well within signal range. It may be staying connected better once connected but I have my wifi sleep with the screen so when I wake it up, the wifi should re-connect. Not working well at all. This 5.0 update sucks, you'd think that since Verizon takes forever to get updates to flagship phones that at least they'd be well tested and stable, NOT!
On my 6P, the flow of data on WiFi stops every few minutes, remains out for 10-30 seconds, then comes back. Usually, it will fail over to LTE data automatically. Then after 30 seconds or so, reconnects to WiFi. *THIS 100% ONLY HAPPENS WHEN BLUETOOTH IS TURNED ON. * If I turn Bluetooth off, WiFi remains on rock solid.
I don't know if it's related or not, but the only time I can get it to use WiFi for calls/sms is if I put it in airplane mode so it had no choice to use WiFi. It will never switch to or utilize WiFi calling automatically. The 3G signal in my house is nearly non existent, so it should be using WiFi in nearly all cases.
I use Pure Nexus. Updating to the latest version 2 weeks ago made no difference.
I have already been down all the roads with routers, WiFi channels, DHCP, and any other fix that could possibly be unrelated to the 6P. It's none of them. Again, this only happens with bluetooth turned on, and does not happen with bluetooth turned off.
Any suggestions?
