I got a n950U1 unlocked note 8 ( not rooted) which is a snapdragon version. I am not living in the states but bought my mobile in my holidays and was wondering how to get wifi calling on this phone. My carrier has it available as i was using it on my previous mobile, and can still use if i use my sim in iphone. I heard that the t-mobile version has it but how can i activate the setting or get an apk which can enable this setting for me? Is the app completely missing or any secret setting needs to be enabled?
Or is there a different way to enable this feature? I know that the N950F version has it but why not this one? I wasn't aware that there are differences in such options.
Also unlocked N950U1 is able to use wifi calling.
If not yet upgraded to Oreo, you can enable Wifi calling in IMS settings, using Shortcut Master app. (Search this forum for thread)
Setting will then be in Phone/Calling app, not in the general phone Settings.
After Oreo I no longer can access the IMS settings, but luckily Wifi calling remained enable after FW upgrade.
I have tried to enable via shortcut master but the app itself to make wifi calling seems to be missing. There is no setting to enable in IMS settings

I also have SM-N950U1 and I have NEVER seen or found the WiFi calling in this device, regardless of version Nouget or Oreo. I have read also a few months ago that using Shortcut maker it "should" be able to work but I also have had no success with this. You are able to find bits and pieces of WiFi calling but no actual app for it to work.
As I stated, the setting is in the Phone / calling app. In Shortcut Manager look for "WfcPref".
Not really a solution but more of a bandaid , maybe resort to flashing the t mobile firmware if all avenues have been exhausted?

I also have checked that option but there is no actual app launching, it is all tutorials or help files. I suppose it is not included within the firmware. Or maybe it is because i haven't initialize it with a t-mobile sim card. I was just hoping that maybe there is some sort of apk app by which we can have it.
This is all i get in shortcut master
Just to add also the phone/ calling app screenshot and the connections/ more connections screen
Here is what i noticed.
Note: I'm on note8 exynos csc xme
I use dual sim.
Sim1 do not support wifi calling
Sim2 supports wifi calling
I have wifi calling setting to switch it on only when i switch everything to sim2, data messages and calls.

Unfortunately my phone is not dual sim but i am wondering if rooting the phone would help me to be able to have wifi calling?
Is there any way to fix this by rooting the phone?

It's restricted by 2 factors. Your telco and csc.
Obviously to have wifi calling ur mobile operator must support this and allow ur phone number to use this function.
Second is the csc of your phone. Some branded phone restrict this, they do it via csc code. U can look around on this forum there is ppl that manage to decrypt the csc files edit it and load it back. Root required for this.

Hi again,
My telco has it as i was using on my iphone. The problem is with the note 8, There is no functional app or apk for this when i do a search on shortcut master. After rooting will i be able to get the wifi calling app from somewhere after editing the csc?
Or is it much easier if i change the firmware with tmobile branded and then use my phone with it. Do you think i will get the app then by editing the csc file?
Or will it still not work as it is t mobile branded.
This is so annoying, it should have been much easier and with much more freedom, why is this wifi calling even missing as app, they already can disable if the telco doesnt support it. I never had such issue before
With Note 8 N950U1 you should have wifi calling without any problems.
Check with T-Mobile site how it works and what to do, i.c. check the requirements.. Did you put in 911 address?

Hi vash
My wifi calling is working well on sim 1 until I change this sim card to slot 2, then changed call/text and data to SIM 2,
(because I inserted SD card with 2 sim cards now, my another sim card was issued by another country, cannot get new one, so I cut the SIM 1 and moved to SIM 2)
Then wifi calling disappeared, it's gone..
Looks wifi calling will be working on SIM 1 only.

I'm sorry.
WiFi calling is working for SIM 2 as well.
Depends on the WiFi internet connection quality.

yup.. wanted to ask you to check internet connection quality. if the connection is not good wifi calling doesnt work. most of the time when i am overseas, hotel wifi is not good enough for wifi calling.. thus kind of useless for me.

Yes, thanks.
But probably not only internet quality, I think carrier will check some certificate or something.
Because no WiFi calling icon when I'm using the employee WiFi in office, I logon with my user name and password, and sometimes public WiFi is also not working for WiFi calling,
On the main screen click on bottom left call icon to make a call. Then go to setting on top right 3 dots down. You will see wifi calling enable or disabled. You can turn on or off. If it can help someone. I was looking everywhere and it didnt help, but eventually found it. It's not in connection and more setting like some place stated.
Hi,
Got the note 9 since friday. working great. but i noticed that when i call on sim2, i can use mobile data of sim 1.
Default mobile data is from sim1. and phone calls are set to ask every time.
now my sim2 is my work number. during the working hours i call alot with this number.
my sim 1 is my private sub from t-mobile. and i mainly use the data plan of it. since i dont wanna use the internet that my boss pay's for for my personal use.
Now since i got this setup. what happends is. some one texts me a foto through whatsapp. and then calls me to sim2 before i can look / dowload the picture. then when i pickup the phone they ask me did u see the picture i sent you. i then open whatsapp. but i get the msg no network.
what i noticed is that when i call on sim1 i still have LTE data. (cause sim1 provides the data)
so it cant use data from sim 1 and voice from sim2 at the same time?
also is there a way to set certain apps to use data of a specific sim card?
lets say i open my 2nd whatsapp that it loads the images sent there from my sim2 network
but when i open my 1st whatsapp (2nd app cloning) it uses data from sim1?
or any other apps for exmp chrome and samsung internet?
is there any tweak that automates the switch data to sim2 as soon as i make a call with sim2?
now i can just click on the sim settings menu and change the default data to sim2 to receive data during the call. but when im driving in my car this are alot of buttons to press and i rather not.
i don't own N9 yet. read about dual sim technology varieties on the net, theoretically N9 should be able to get dual VOLTE feature on both SIMs (assuming it supported by carrier(s), and phone shows VOLTE icon on both SIMs). in the event you are making call on SIM 1 & trying to get data on SIM 2 or vice versa, this requires dual sims dual volte (DSDV) feature kicks in and liberates you to choose which SIM to get data from.
might really want to consult with your carrier(s) if both SIM support VOLTE.
Are you able to get VoLTE and WiFi calling to work on the international dual sim F variant of Note-9 on US T-mobile network?
Hey all
Question for those with dual sim exynos version running pie.
Can you successfully wifi tether on both sims.
Currently I can tether the mac successfully with sim 1. However sim 2 I just get a no internet screen in all browsers. If I browse on the phone from data on sim 2 I get full speed 4g.
Sim1 has poor signal where I'm working hence switching to sim 2. Tried wifi and bluetooth tether and get zilch on sim 2. Tried wipe cache and on mac forget network changed tether wifi name as well and still the same.
Be handy if someone who has 2 sims can try switching to secondary sim and wifi tether and let me know if all is well.
i have a dual sim a71, is there any way to allow data on BOTH sims but prefer one?
my one sim has unlimited data, the other is for sms/mms/calling
the problem is every time i want to send MMS i have to switch data sim setting to the other sim.

Settings, connection, SIM manager then mobile data set that to the sim with unlimited data there is no need to switch as it will work for both Sims.
My work sim doesn't have data but I can still use it as if I did have with my personal SIM.
Hello,
Does Oneplus support Wifi calling using cellular data of 2nd SIM ?
Instead of putting the 2nd sim card in a different mobile and enabling hotspot to use the Wifi calling, can I just put the 2nd SIM card in the same mobile oneplus 10 and still be able to use wifi calling for 1st SIM using the cellular data of 2nd SIM

I'm pretty sure ..No.. because you actully need a sim card in to enable wifi calling . No setting come up for the one without Sim in it.

Actually the SIM will be in, and wifi calling will be enabled, no issue here
My question: Does Oneplus support Wifi calling using cellular data of 2nd SIM or it will only work in wifi connection
When I travel I don't like to use the roaming for my main SIM card but I need to make and receive calls so usually I try to get a local sim card and use it in another mobile and open hotspot to connect my first mobile so I can use the wifi calling for my main SIM.
If I put the new sim card in the same mobile oneplus 10 will wifi calling work in the main SIM by using the cellular data of 2nd SIM
I know this is working in some other phone like google and Samsung and some time it is called backup calling
but I don't know if it will work in oneplus 10
