Hey all, been a long time since I've been down here, but I got a Verizon S9+ last week. Bone stock with latest update. I've had wifi calling issues right from the start. My house has terrible service, so with my old S4 I was almost always on wifi calling at home.
My issues:
It seems totally random. Sometimes it automatically switches to wifi calling no problem, other times it simply won't switch, even though I can't get out a text message or a call. Usually a reboot fixes the problem, but I don't need to be rebooting all day when I'm at home, and I miss calls and texts all the time. In testing, it's switching fine sometimes, and I can run upstairs and into the basement while on a call, and it will automatically switch back and forth. Other times, if it has even one bar of service, it will not switch, even though I can't make calls or send texts.
I have tried network reset, and factory data reset, no joy. Wifi calling is on, and I set "prefer wifi while roaming". If I am in airplane mode, even when connected to wifi, it will not make a call or send a text.
Another odd issue is with a group text. If I send a text to multiple people at once, I get an "invalid address" error.
It seems a lot of people on the internet are asking about issues with wifi calling with the S9's, should I just dump this thing and downgrade to an S8?

Hi all,
Looking for a bit of help/advice.
On occasions, probably between 1-3 times a day, when I try to make a call on the Hero, the call appears to look like it is dialing out but it just sits there saying 'dialing' but never connects to the destination which can be any UK number / Orange 150 etc. Either rebooting the phone or leaving it for 10 mins or so fixes the problem, but it does become annoying!
At the same time as this happening, when I try to send an SMS, I get the error 'SMS not able to send' in the notification bar. Again, I have to keep trying and it sorts itself out.
A final problem and I am not sure if it is related or not is I have had numerous people try calling me at various times, my phone doesn't ring or display a missed call, nor do I get a missed call SMS but the person who tried calling me said the line was actually ringing first and then went through to voicemail. I have witnessed this myself by calling my phone, getting a ringing line but the phone doesn't respond?
Any ideas of help would be appreciated. This problem has existed on Modaco Roms 2.2, 2.8 and 3.0 - I'm on Orange UK.
Thanks,
Nick
I have the same problem with the Orange Poland. When I logged on to the 3G sometimes you can not call or send SMS. When I switch to the 2G network problem disappears.
Yeah, it is strange, I have done that too, turn off the 3G to 2G and back to 3G which sometimes cures it, but not all the time.
I've tried various things, made sure the apps aren't closed with Taskkiller or anything like that. There is no specific time or occasion it happens, it just does now and again.
Well I have tried everything. I recieved all the settings from my operator , changed over 10 ROMs and gone back to the original too, i tried what you said to turn 3G off , i reset to factory , i unrooted.....Nothing works for me. I just get "Unable to send". I also tried 4 SIMs from different operators !!!
Out of nowhere, I suddenly have no access to the HSPA+ network. I was on the phone, and then the call dropped. Since then, I've been able to get full bars on EDGE, but data won't work, can't send or receive texts, and can't make or receive calls. My bill is paid, so I know it isn't my service being shut off or anything.
I've tried restarting, pulling the battery, and nothings working.
It's running the most recent stock update, only modification I've done is root it, which was long before these issues started up.
Anyone else have these issues or similar? What can be done to solve this?
Has anyone run into this issue of calls (sometimes, not every call) going straight to voicemail?
I have had Do Not Disturb mode turned off, the phone was on vibrate alert.
Network connection showed all bars, so full (or at least, good) connectivity.
I've noticed this for about a couple of weeks now. Before as well as after rooting.
My first thoughts are around some software issue with the latest firmware/ROM.
Any suggestions on how to debug/fix this issue? SMS Texts seem to get through just fine, always. Pictures sent via messaging sometimes do not get through.
So this problem has been persisting for over a year now. I live in an area with great connectivity. All my family members have Jio sims and have never faced a problem.
Problem: I have two Jio sims in my phone. Sometimes my phone becomes unreachable or says 'number is switched off' when someone tries calling. If I try calling, it just shows call ended. The signal strength is always full and mobile data also works.
Restarting the phone or putting the phone in airplane mode and then back solves the issue.
Sometimes someone would call me, the phone would ring but I won't receive the call and then my phone would ring 30 minutes later and when I press answer, the app would hang.
Solutions I have tried:
- Factory reset my phone 3 times.
-Bought a new Sim
-Volte and WiFI calling is enabled, tried disabling also, but doesn't work
-Tried keeping Dual 4G on, it didn't work, tried turning off, it didn't work
Still problem is persisting
Please help, I don't have money for a new phone and I'm in the middle of job searching and I can't afford to miss recruiter calls

Try reinstalling the firmware
Since the last OTA update I am facing issues while calling on WiFi.
While my phone is already on WiFi if I recieve a call, intermittently the voice breaks alot, after manually switching to Mobile network it works alright.
But Today I faced a weird issue, I received a call on mobile network when I was outside, as soon as I entered home and switched to WiFi, I got a message on my screen that the call has dropped and voice stopped, when I dialled back the call got connected automatically and I could hear my friend still talking like it never disconnected and at the same time I could also hear 2nd voice that the number you have called is busy. I tried to disconnect and call again but it was the same, to get out of this loop I had to switch back to Mobile network and disconnect.
This is the first time I faced such issue.
