Title Kinda of says it all. My wife works in an area where 4g lte goes in and out in places so when she calls me gets all garbled. How Can i turn off my phones ability to get a HD call so her phone does not even attempt it. I can turn it off on hers if need be.
If you both have Galaxy S5's with TouchWiz (or Stock) ROM you can try this:
1.) Open your Dialer
2.) Go to Settings
3.) Go to Call Settings
4.) The 2nd option in this list is called Voice over LTE settings, simply open this,
and change the Radio button from: "Use VoLTE when available" to: "Do not use VoLTE"
This may solve your problem(s).

this has been a problem since i bought the phone. it has been a problem through countless roms ive flashed. When i try to call out from the htc dialer or any other app, it asks what program i would like to use. The options are just the sip phone. no other options. when i click sip phone, the options are add or cancel. i dont want to add one and when i choose cancel, it just goes back to the previous screen. So i cant call out!! I have found a work around using the "voice Changer" calling app. This happens over wifi, 3g, 4g and even when data is off.
I have tried what other have suggested: (Go to settings > call settings > use internet calling, this should be set to "only for internet calls", also in "call settings" check "accounts", if there are any listed try to disable or delete the account.)
I have tried every option to change/ disable internet calling but im still here.
Please! Any help! Is anybody having this problem?
When I get an incoming call and try to answer, I get a voice anouncement about the call have have to press "1" to accept. I want to turn this anoucement off. I've looked at just about every setting I can think of and don't see where I can get rid of this setting. Very annoying.
Any clue as to where this is set so I can turn it off?
Thanks

Do you use Google Voice? My guess is you do. Because I'm not aware of Sprint having an option like this.
If you do use Google Voice, Log onto Google Voice from a computer, go to settings, then to Calls, then check 'off' for call screening.
It is Google voice. You to go online and adjust your settings or un-install, restall and don't allow it to integrate with your Sprint services.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
That was it. BIG THANKS!!! Funny but that seeting must have been in place for a couple of years now. I just switch from the original Evo 4g to the 4g LTE last week when this started happeneing. Didn't do anything to Google Voice settings.
Hi,
I have SIM card in my Gear S and I would like the option to enable/disable call forwarding directly from GearS (when is nor paired with the smartphone). This is how my swipe down menu looks like:
[check the attachement, i cant insert links]
I would like the option to set call forwarding from the Gear S, like in this video @18:28
watch?v=gt8xjMS4rT0#t=1105
[i cand insert yt like either]
Any idea how to enable that option?
Thanks
The link is broken for me but my gear has the option to toggle forwarding in the call section of settings but i haven't tried to change it while on a remote connection.
I did not watch the video but when not paired to my phone (Gear Only mode) I have call forwarding as an option in the pull down menu

The Verizon version has the pull-down option to enable or disable call forward. The AT&T version that I played with did not.
I saw a samsung Video about call forwading.
Before enable call forwarding in Gear setting (and see the checkbox), you must activate Call Forwarding in setting on Gear Manager on your phone. If it is not selected on Gear Manager the Gear S do not show the Forwarding chekbox.

If you saw "Gear only" mode you should also see call forwarding in the pull down menu. Swipe your finger down from the top of the gear. If you don't see it your carrier may not allow
T-MOBILE
It seems that's a feature only found on CDMA version of the watches, e.g. Verizon and Sprint. There is never such menu on my AT&T watch. Besides, Verizon's version don't even show the status (Gear Only, Connected Remotely or Connected via BT) in that swipe down menu. Yes, carriers can do all kinds of crazy things.
The reason for this specific menu item is quite simple: on GSM networks like AT&T, you can't set call forwarding from another line to your line for security reasons. I guess CDMA networks have a different way to do it without the security concerns. So, on GSM watches, you will need rely on the host phone to send the forwarding command upon the request from the watch via remote connection.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon (Lollipop). I was able to use alternate dialers up until recently, when I activated Verizon's new "Advanced Calling 1.0" feature.
Advanced Calling is Verizon's name for VoLTE (voice-over-LTE), which is supposed to provide clearer calls by using data for calls. They're rolling this out slowly and you have to opt-in, then reboot your phone. See some info here: verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html
Ever since I activated this, my phone seems to force me to use the original dialer. I think this is because the Advanced Calling feature won't work with other dialers.
Once I learned this, I deactivated Advanced Calling. It only works if both phones have it anyway, and since almost no one has this yet, and I would rather use my own dialer, it wasn't worth the trouble.
However, even after deactivating Advanced Calling, my phone still won't let me choose a different dialer. I've rebooted and cleared all defaults, but my phone still won't even pop up the default chooser screen for calls. I can start another dialer manually, but after dialing or touching a contact name, the original stock dialer then opens to complete the call.
Assuming you've actually read this far, any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Just bought a Z5 compact to replace my second Z3 compact... and upon backing up DRM keys and then re-flashing, unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery TWRP to install a ROM, have tried two variants of LOS and two other ROMs... NONE of which can receive calls.
what.the.actual.****.
all calls go straight to voicemail.
some outgoing calls simply don't go through (need to try 2x or 3x to even get carrier support)
and occasionally, when trying above, dropped "no network" and phone signal resets.
i've tried re-flashing various .ftf files (i'm based in US and am using a US based .ftf i compiled now... with clean flash).. nothing seems to be working. all symptoms the same across all .ftf files and ROMs.
about to return the phone as i can't crack this one. (but have years using /rooting android devices - never seen anything like this).
any ideas??? all help appreciated!!
thanks in advance.
Sounds like there's problem with the antenna?
Having the same problem. Nothing wrong with the antenna--can make calls, just takes 2-3 tries. I suspect that it possibly has to do with handover from 4G to whatever it's using for the call (the handover is too slow), and/or the fact that VOIP isn't working with my carrier (US T-Mobile).
Try forcing it to 3G (WCDMA preferred/GSM) in Settings > More > Mobile Networks.

This does fix the problem with incoming and outgoing calls (I set it to 2G preferred, not to 3G). However, as a result, you don't have fast internet access (which, of course, is necessary for basically everything the phone does minus SMS and plain old phone calls).
I went into the "Testing" menu (dial *#*#4636#*#*) --> Phone information --> three dots in upper-right-hand corner --> Select Radio Band --> US, or whatever's appropriate. This is leaving 4G preferred.
Based on very limited information (a couple outgoing calls that took only one try), things are somewhat better. I could be wrong, though: I haven't had any incoming calls (...that I know of).

Is there a good app that will auto drop to 2g when screen is off? I used to do this to save battery life, but sounds like it would also help solve this situation - agree that symptomatially, sounds like the issue is switching between 4g and 2g/3g - so would love to give this a try.
Any ideas on reco apps to set "2g when screen off" ? and also enable a widget that will force switch?

It's an Xposed module afaicr...
My phone did actually ring today (...spam, but still). I think the change in the Testing menu, as described above, has made a real improvement.

i've gotten SOME rings that come through and some that go straight to VM.
I've also seen my phone "pause" or "hitch" right before taking an incoming call successfully (suspecting this is the 'difficulty' we are guessing about between switching from 2/3g to 4g or vice versa which is causing problems)
half my calls still going straight to VM. Which actually isn't a horrible thing. except when i want to receive them. lol.
I guess its a issue with the baseband aka modem.
Try to flash different versions and recheck. It can take some time to find the besteht baseband for your area and provider.

Is it possible / advisable to flash *just* the baseband? Where would one find files for just the baseband? I'd prefer to avoid extracting from .ftf , but if that's necessary I'll do it.
Has there been progress with this? This is exactly my problem, faulty reception. Glad to hear you used a stock US rom. Mine is stock Australian, I am in US. So that seems not the problem. What about kernel? Have you tried different ones or compiled something? It is a software problem, should be solvable.
To flash baseband only get a .54 firmware ftf, flash it, in the exclude section - exclude everything but amss stuff and baseband. I will edit post with exact names cuz I'm outside rn
Edit: AMSS_FS_1, 2 and FSG and also MODEM.
