Hi, canadian s23 ultra on telus provider , that block the option to prioritize wifi.
So even if sometime I got mobile network, it kicks me out from wifi, but still the signal to weak to make any calls...
I've called the tech, and this is a internal policy to unload their server.
But makes no sens for me, wifi calling is useless.
Only option : toggle airplane mode ... ok, phones can play AAA games, but not prioritize wifi.
My OnePlus 5 is rooted and I can force wifi, any way for the non-rooted S23?

That's a d!ck move by Thellus... unexpected even for a cartel member.
Videotron allows the selection and also I can turn on WiFi after putting the phone in Airplane mode.
Try to play around with service codes (fewer and fewer working these days) or to create a shortcut from Settings menu using
Download QuickShortcutMaker APKs for Android - APKMirror

I know, I was with videotron, I need to go back !
fckin time lost
Put the device in Airplane mode and turn on WiFi. The Telus implementation of WiFi Calling is very disappointing.

yeah this is what the tech told me, but dont work at all.
-Go put the trash out at few meter from my house, wifi disconnected, go back home EVEN IF IM ON AIRPLANE MODE , it wont AUTOMATICALLY reconnect ! Missed a call.
-I go get the kids at school : forgot to toggle back , no signal, a client called.

Telus requires WiFi Calling activation. Have you activated it through their website? It's a crap shoot system. They also heavily limit devices that are "compatible" with their WiFi Calling. They don't really want people using WiFi for calls.
Of course it's enabled, it's working, but drop me out the moment I got signal.
BUT not because I got signal that means it's stable !
If I put air plane mode, Wifi calling, dont move that expensive phone, so yes, Wifi calling is working.
Telus don't want us to use wifi calling, telus don't want client, too bad, full refund and make me , their tech and their seller loose time and money for a stupid simple option ''wifi prefered'' blocked by their policy.

I just tried to use some routines to make this work properly. Basically, I selected a location to be at home and turn on airplane mode and another routine when I'm leaving home to turn off airplane mode and enable mobile data.
I haven't tested this yet but in theory, it should work.

yeah should work most of the time, but when the wifi connection go off and back , the routine wont work.
Anyway, Telus shop is in front of Rogers shop at my office, I just get refund in one, and got back on track with the other and never deal with this BS connection in 2023 !

Have you tried reaching out to their engineering team? I have dealt with them directly before for a few different things. The last time I had to deal with them over WiFi Calling, which was years ago. They made sure it was provisioned to work on the LG V30 I had and it was solid. It took 2 weeks of callbacks to get someone from their engineering team though. Don't call support or customer care either. Call their main number in BC and let someone call you back.
One of my carriers, Vodafone NZ, does this too. They prefer VoLTE in front of VoWiFi. Massive pain if your on the boarder of coverage as the limited signal you do get isn't enough for a usable conversation, but enough to drop VoWiFi. Missed and rubbish calls result.
Typically the carrier hides this toggle behind their carrier settings. You used to be able to access and change this hidden setting with the Samsung Band Selector app, but this no longer works for me. You can still see the toggle, the app just crashes when you try to make the change.
I'd be very interested to see a workaround too.

yeah, when you type this kind of issue, Vodafone is the king of this topic ! I read most of the vodafone forums, and some get it by some app , like wificalling or VoWifi on the playstore. But none are working.
VoLTE work when you have signal, which I dont have... My reading are -100 to -109 dB, wifi calling seems to stop when I reach around -88dB , but way too low to make a call.
Yes Ive reach the eng. dep : internal policy it appears. I'm trying to make this policy change for me, because you know, its a mouse click to have the VoWifi working at no extra cost.
FINAL UPDATE,
Tried an other provider sim ( videotron) and the option appeared !!!
So yes COMFIRMED, providers block the option, so makes the wifi-calling useless in low coverage area.
You could always file a complaint with the CRTC, not that I think it would do anything. They are more crooked than the FCC and FTC.

I mean they don't lie, they have the wifi calling, but if you're in a 0 signal zone.
In a ''in between'', which is IMO very useful, it doesn't work.
They have the right to do this, and it work with their definition. Only thing, it's bad that they don't tell you.
How many client are in my situation, not much I would say.
Yes there's many post on that.
And now 5 new from me.
Maybe one day they will change it, but it won't be this week, and I need to return the phone before 14 days ( as been 7 and weekend they are closed)
Please tell me guyz Rogers got this option !

It's the point that they offer something but render it almost useless on purpose. I know. In Canada, that is perfectly acceptable. Just look at their list of approved WiFi Calling devices for Android.

Rogers WiFi Calling works. It's just as trash as AT&T's implementation though because it's the same implementation. The only carriers with the same implementation as T-Mobile USA is Bell and Freedom. Freedom's service is a joke though.

Okay first off I can CONFIRM THE REZOUND IS A GLOBAL PHONE (lets just get that out of the way).
EVIDENCE
Okay so I purchased my HTC Rezound form an American eBayer and he shipped it to me just after Christmas (i live in the UK), i was already under the impression that the Rezound was a global phone but just before it arrived everyone was saying that it doesn't have the GSM or WCDMA networks which made me sad
But when it arrived i thought i would try what i thought would work, sooooo i place the sim card in the phone and powered it up. After setting it up i went to the phones dialer and dialed: *#*#4636#*#* and then went to phone information and changed the network type. I was shocked to find that there was many options including 'GSM only' and 'WCDMA only' . So i switched the phone to WCDMA only and the phone picked up signal and showed T-Mobile in the notification bar .
(I got my data by adding the T-Mobile APN and then going to wi-fi settings>>advanced and changed the time till wifi switches to mobile network to 15 mins (then waited 15 mins))

Problems (That i think can be fixed)
Okay so the only two problems are:
1. I can receive and make calls, can use data (internet) but i can only receive texts and not make them?
(When i try to send a text, as soon as i press send the network signal shuts off and i have to press no when a message appears that says something like "would you like to try and send text when phone has signal?")
Anyone know how to fix? Is this T-Mobile UK SMSC Number?: +447958879879
I HAVE TRIED:
1. Changing SMSC number under: *#*#4636#*#* (there is no option in the HTC Mms.apk (Messaging app))
2. Changing to/installed HTC Sensation XE's [SENSE 3.5] Mms.apk and still same problem (also made sure the SMSC number is correct)
Screenshot to show texts not sending and network stops: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0U8I71u15EGYTFhMGEwZmMtMzYwZi00MTdkLWI2MGQtYmIxMDljNGUyZDgy
2. And the other is just to get rid of the lockscreen message that says "This SIM card is from an unknown source".
TEMP FIX (Until Reboot): If the ROM you are using has the tweaks menu (MikROM) then you can go to Miscellaneous Options>>>Choose Lockscreen Style and select 'Android Lockscreen', Then Restart or Hot Restart and change the option back to 'HTC Sense Lockscreen'. THIS WILL REMOVE THE 'This SIM card is from an unknown source' message, but this process must be done every time your battery dies or you turn off the phone.
(still better than the ugly message every time you turn on the phone screen).

So please could some DEVS work on this cause this is another great advantage to the Rezound that was let down by the Verizon tailored HTC Sense.
This
You just need the exact right apns for sending texts. I hope you deleted the Verizon ones?
I'd do an APN backup of an htc t mobile phone, then in the rezound delete apns, then restore apns
I use apn backup and restore
Mb you've already done exactly this but thought I'd suggest. Need to customize a few apns for your phone number, mb didn't customize all of them? Our if Verizon one still sits there?
Possibly need a copy of an mms.apk from a gsm phone because some settings built into the Verizon apk may make it fail to send
I did delete the verizon ones, and i only filled in the T-mobile APN like this and left all other settings blank:
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
Dude, seriously.... DOES NOT BELONG IN DEVELOPMENT!
Back in my experience with AT&T, there was a phone number for the messing center that needed to be input. Otherwise, you couldn't send text but could receive them. Do you'll need 2 things ... the phone number to your carrier's messaging center and the place to input it in your phone.
I did a quick look and couldn't find the field. But that's what you're missing.

No, it does not belong in development. Development is for WORKING MODS/HACKS/ROMS/KERNERLS/ETC, not to talk about or request Developer help. Hence why it was moved.
I think it is funny that people think that the Devs are locked in the development forum and can't get out. That the only place to reach them is in there . Yes they can and do read other forums!

I was just in Japan. VZW rep told me my phone would work out there. Got there and could only receive SMS and Calls, couldn't make SMS or Calls. Two other people I was out there with had no problems with there VZW iPhone and LG android.
Global support told me that the 4g LTE sim can't authenticate on the CDMA network or there. I was able to get $40 off my bill for my troubles ....

That would be because you used the VZW sim which only works on certain frequency. They are talking about unlocking the sim and using one that authenticates for GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
The MMS.apk app you have is the CDMA version of it so no you will not have access to the SMS center number... You need to have the mms.apk from a GSM sense phone to have access to that settings, but even then you will probably run into problems.
Problems like.. Resolutions issues, FC's ... It not working at all
OR... Its a universal apk and a simple edit with in one of the XMLs would enable that options or something..... Food for thought

I did try and download an app call SMS Pro (or something like that) and it had the option to change the SMSC number but my text still cut the network out as soon as i press send
try pushing the mms.apk and such from a european sensation sense 3.5 rom. Then reboot into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik cache. Maybe that will work for you.
Ok here's my evil little plan. I am from India. And its only 149$ on Amazon. So can I buy it on Amazon and then just use it here? How much would it be, without contract?

While in Mexico next month can I WiFi call to the US on my g3 ?
I have the HTC One (M8) and did my update (Which added the Wi-Fi calling app). I am currently in Mexico (Been here since Saturday) and I couldn't get the Wi-Fi calling to kick in while connected to a Wi-Fi. Everytime I tried to connect by enabling the Wi-Fi the location part of the Wi-Fi calling app would kick in and I would get a message something to the effect that wi-fi calling wouldn't work in my current location (Not exact words but that is what it would tell me). So I decided to turn off the locate me feature in the Wi-Fi calling app and enter my home address (from the US) and it said confirming address took a while and it seemed like nothing happened. A little while later all my text messages and my voicemail s started to show up on my phone and the Wi-Fi calling icon showed up on my status screen.
I'm going to be honest. I was also tinkering with the network connection settings and manually selected cdma/lte in the network mode and enabled Domestic voice and data. I just wanted to get some type of service (i didn't care if it was going to go into roaming because I needed to make calls back to the states). So I'm assuming I am using the Wi-Fi calling feature because I don't have the data portion on the phone turned on and I don't have international voice or data enabled. But I will find out on my bill next month.
If I'm really on Wi-Fi calling mode then the key (i think is to trick the location servive of the Wi-Fi calling app to think you in the US by typing in an address in the US and not letting the app locate you automatically to Mexico....
I was trying to upload screen shots from my phone but the web browser let's me. I will pots the images after the 19th..

I just returned from Mexico and had turned the wifi calling on my last day their. At first worked great made a few calls back and it worked crystal clear. Then it started to ask for location I tried everything even when it did accept a location over the border in the U.S.(I was in a border town) it stopped working. My friend who has the wifi calling from T-mobile had no problem. Hopefully Sprint (lol) will get a clue.
I have the LS990 (Sprint) so I don't know if it is the same for other devices (comment below if it works for you)

DOWNLOAD THE SHORTCUT MASTER LITE APP IN THE PLAYSTORE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en
I was messing around with the hiddenmenus in the phone and I found a way to force LTE only on the LG G3. It normally does't give you that option in the Mobile Data network settings because you can't make calls on just LTE yet so if you turn this on, make sure you switch it back to what setting it was before so you can make and receive calls.
Launch Shortcut Master Lite and open the menu to search for "systemselection"

tap on "com.lge.hiddenmenu.vzw_only.SystemSelection" and click launch. Then Grant SU.
Then finally tap on Network mode and you will be able to select LTE only. Again make sure you switch it back so you can receive and make calls.
There you go! I am with Sprint so sometimes data is really slow and for whatever reason sometimes my data would stay on 3G even though I am in an LTE area so this way forces it on.
I have more goodies if you guys want to see them (ex: see what LTE band you are on and and turning them on and off, turning on Lab mode, production mode to Lab mode, etc)
Just to let you know lte does not support calls so you will need to enable VOLTE so you can get voice over lte (volte). You can enable this via shorcut master just search "VOLTE" then enable it. (Just thought I'd let you know )

I was just complaining the other day about how I missed svdo that the HTC evo 4g lte had. Simultaneous Voice over data. On this device, when you start a call, data connection stops.
Would VOLTE enable svdo? Thatd be absolutely awesome.
I was reading about some secret menu and it has a mode like that I tried it and I was able to make calls and come on xda. I will have to look for the exact setting but you can find the area in shortcut master just search for "com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu.sprintspec.Data" (No quotes). You need your MSL code in order to modify these settings if you don't have it you can call sprint and request it for free. The only thing you need is your account pin code and your phones iemi if you have multiple device's it just makes life easier for the person. Then just click "Edit" and type in your IEMI number and you can edit anything.
I don't know for sure and I don't take responsibility if you do this but I am pretty sure that you have to turn on "DDTM". You can find it under "EVDO". Again I have no idea if this is it so just make sure before doing this you make a backup. If something goes wrong PM me and I will help you. If you don't make a backup and something goes wrong don't get mad at me because I will not help if your mean
So VOLTE allowed you to browse Xda while in a call, or DDTM did? Sorry, just a bit confused. But if you found a way to have data and phone at same time, that would be fanfreakingtastic !

VOLTE allows you to do that but Sprint is not setup for that. You can't call with data anyways with tri-band devices but you could with LTE non-spark devices. It has to do something with the number of radios.
Damn, that sucks. My evo LTE had svdo, and that was such a great feature. Really pisses me off that CDMA tech makes it necessary to have extra radios for that, radios that no one includes. I believe the evo lte and one Samsung or moto device had the appropriate radios, and that was it. The 2 flagships during early stages of lte rollout were the only ones.
Sorry for hijacking thread.

I did the force LTE and it works great. I'm in a horrible LTE area, aka, the entire state of NH, so forcing it to only LTE really helps keep it there once I have it. Thanks!

I was able to perform the same steps on the VzW G4 with success. Each of the modes seems to work as described!
I wonder if there is a way to get to the Phone Info screen though, I'm fairly sure its just a simple hack to enable it, as a dialog pops up over the info screen that says "This application does not work on this device."
Hey guys, I like some of you had suffered from a broken LTE radio from the last security update which was November security patch. This has been driving me crazy the past couple of weeks. LG has acknowledged this as being a known issue and is instructing people to simply switch from GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto to GSM/WCDMA auto which does restore connection. This simply is not good enough and we cannot possibly be expected to settle for barely 3G speeds and just crap signal until they get their butts in gear and fix this. Anyway enough blabbing because realistically you just want the fix.
Below is the response LG has given which acknowledges the issue but by no means is an ideal fix.

So the goal is to get our Preferred network mode set to LTE/CDMA which currently is not an option. So we need to make it an option manually.
So below I'm going to list all the things I've done. Some may not have actually been needed so I'll update and edit this accordingly based on feedback and thread participation. This takes about 5 minutes of messing around to make it happen.
It's not a bug it's a feature:
There is one known issue that I haven't tried to fix yet but it really isn't that big of a deal. Doing this seems to kill your voicemail shortcut when you open the dialer and long press 1. When you do so it does try to dial voicemail but tells you that your call cannot be completed. However you can access it still by simply dialing your own phone number. We're going to call this Collateral damage for the time being. I'll play around and see if I can get this working again but really not too many people leave a voicemail anymore so I'm not overly worried at this point.
If you want you can also contribute to this thread and if you find something that fixes this or notice anything below as being an extra step let me know and we can update this process accordingly. The key here is to note that these are all the steps I took to restore my LTE and it worked.
So first things first you need to tinker with activities. The easiest way to do this is downloading "Activity Launcher" .
Open up Activity launcher and let it load
Scroll down until you see Network and expand it. (you can just search for it too if you prefer)
Scroll down and select com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCMCC
Click on Network mode which may say "null"
Select the top option which is LTE/CDMA If you do not have the option of LTE/CDMA continue the rest of the steps and then move on to part 2
Directly below it select com.lge.networksettingsMobileNetworkSettingsForGLOBAL
Select Network mode (should show Preferred network mode: LTE/CDMA)
If not select network mode and choose LTE/CDMA
3 options below it, select com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSBM
toggle to the on postion: Use 4G data Network. This may take a second to show your network in the status bar icon again
Next directly below that select com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSKT
Under Network mode select LTE preferred
Done. All should be well now. Go ahead and test it out by send yourself some text messages or whatever but it should be all set now. If you mess something up do not panic you can simply reset your network settings by going into the settings app, selecting Network & internet and at the bottom selecting Network settings reset if you absolutely feel you need to.
Part 2
Open your dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*
And see if you can change your preferred network to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)
Under Network/Mobile networks check com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSP CS, network mode, select LTE/CDMA
Network/Network com.lge.networksettings.UPLMNEditor: choose GSM as your network preference then press the 3 dot menu to save
Scroll down to Settings and scroll way down to com.android.settings.BandMode and select automatic
Now go back to the Network activity and we're going to revisit the option that previously may not have been working. As a reminder it was com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCMCC
Click on Network mode which may say "null"
Select the top option which is LTE/CDMA
You should now be good to go!
Credits: LG for not fixing this in a timely manner and giving us the most ridiculous temp fix ever
Hi
When i go in com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCM CC , the network mode is not highlight so i cannot change to LTE/CDMA.
It is not highlight and it set on 3g/2g. I dont know how you can change it because i cannot press on it to change it.

Go through all the other steps and come back to it then. It is possible that some may have to be done first to unlock others. I tried to make note of each step I did but some may not have been noted in order. Let me know how this goes. I'll update the instructions if something is found to be out of order

Thanks Negan for your answer, but I have tried a lot different step and it didn't work for me. If you find the good one please post it here so I can try it. It would be very appreciated.

Hmmm maybe I've missed a step. For that I apologize if so. I tried to jot down all I did. Ok try this
Open your dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*
And see if you can change your preferred network to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)
Then see if you can go into settings, network & internet, mobile networks, and select LTE/CDMA from there. Maybe it's that simple and everything else wasn't needed. I'll check activity launcher again and see if I omitted something else from here.
Update; try these too
Maybe check Settings activity too and scroll way down to com.android.settings.BandMode and select automatic
Under Network/Mobile networks check com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForSPCS, network mode, select LTE/CDMA
Network/Network com.lge.networksettings.UPLMNEditor: choose GSM as your network preference then press the 3 dot menu to save.
LG did the same thing with the EU version V10. Anno. There was no solution to that. If you didn't find an LTE network, you didn't have 3G either. That's where LG service recommended it. Leave it on 3G. Don't use LTE (only problem with telecom network) Funny / sad they are not learning ..

Not for consolation. But Samsung does the same sometimes. I used to do S7. And now they are struggling with the Galaxy S10E (Vodafone network only)
It looks like the update has been pulled now. I waited because of LTE issue but I just tried to update to try the fix and it tells me I'm up to date with 10b. LG or the carriers must finally have seen the issue, maybe a fix is incoming.

HI Negan.
Sorry if it took me a bit of time to answer you.
I just wanted to try everything you post to try to fix the LTE connection à full day.
I tried my phone today for a full day and I even ride in my car for 2 hours and it looks like it's working for me.
I did the *#*4636#*#* and change the network to LTE/CDMA auto and all the other thing you wrote. My phone work all day without loosing the connection.
I will try it for a few more days and i will get back to you if everything still working fine in a couple of days.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, sorry if my English is bad but I'm a francophone (French) from Montreal Quebec and I have little problem with my english.

All good. I'm glad to hear it's working for you now. I was also a bit skeptical at first thinking maybe the signal wouldn't last and it was too good to be true but it should hold up for you. OP updated with extra steps now.
What a waste
Great phone if it worked correctly I go the following info from both LG and Bell is no timeline to fix the issue yet they are still selling the phone.

Have you used my instructions to fix yours?
Even though I was unable to change the settings for com.lge.networksettings.MobileNetworkSettingsForCMCC (it was always greyed out), it still fixed the issue so thanks a lot.
I recently started getting Proximy Error issues and when I called my guy at the cell store I have been told that the new update is coming shortly fixing the LTE and Proximity Sensor issues. Apparently the December update was released without proper testing (Xmas rush).

I've tried your fix and it seem to be just fine now with my call and my SMS. I'm glad that you've find a way to fix this problem ???

It does appear that LG has fixed the issue...
Just updated my LG G8X to 10g, and there are no issues with LTE over here.

No... I was not. I got the phone with 10b installed, and just updated to 10g. 10c wasn't an option.
So on new devices this is not an issue?

I think they have fixed it but I'm not 100% sure. I sold my G8X. I simply wasn't happy with it all around.
Thanks, that's a vote for wait and see what compromises they design into a V60.
Hi folks,
The title pretty much says it all. I've got a new unlocked P6 bought from Google, using it on AT&T here in the US. It doesn't show VoLTE and when I go in to turn on VoWIFI I get an error to the effect that "we couldn't turn on VoWIFI."
The VoLTE worked out of the box on my prior phone (OP6T) but I never attempted VoWIFI with it.
Is there a special process to go through, or do I need to chat up the ATT reps? It's possible I'm not provisioned appropriately; my SIM is the same SIM I've been using on several phones over a good number of years.
Before I go in "cold" to a conversation with them I'd prefer to know exactly what to ask them for.
Thanks
Here's their whitelist:
Note this is the latest updated list (edit)
I had to have them enable it for me. I did it via chat support. It broke the ability took make regular calls but a quick call back (from a different phone) and it was fixed.

Thanks. I will see about chatting them up. Hopefully they won't break my regular phone capabilities.

Funny thing before I chatted with them my Pixel 6 showed up on my account after they did whatever they did it now shows unknown device. It works so it doesn't really bother me. Edit: I have the unlocked version from Google as well.

Ask for "advanced tech support" when the dud robo attendant ask what for, repeat.
I posted (edited) the updated whitelist, with more models and harder to read
I double checked my devices... but the proof will be when they still are working.
Lol, what could go wrong?
Yeah, be afraid, be very afraid
On with chat now. Just gave them my IMEI. We shall see soon
OK, I'm all set. I think, or maybe I hope.
The chat function worked well. After getting past the chatbot I spoke with a real agent, explained my need, and she quickly took my IMEI and got it set up in the system. I got a text quickly that some ATT stuff got activated (I'll be able to turn on spam blocking and such). I was able to go in after a reboot and turn on wifi calling, leaving my preference as using Mobile Network.
I made a test call and it actually used the Wifi instead of mobile, which concerned me. I disconnected from my hotspot and tried a call, and mobile network calling worked fine, though.
Agent said my preference setting should take hold within 24 hours, in any case. We also went into the dial menu and verified VoLTE was turned on:
"Open dial and Type *#*#4636#*#* Choose Phone information option from test Screen. Now you can Enable VoLTE Support Provisioned Flag. Restart your device. Now you can see 4G LTE option under Network Bar. This will activate unlimited HD Voice Calls."
It was on and grayed out, so should be active. Just surprised there was no special icon showing in status bar like my old phone had.
Everything seems to be working so I think I'm good to go. Thanks for your help guys!
edit: after getting me set up she did a hard sell to get me to use the eIMEI for another ATT account. I declined.
How can I tell if VoLTE is enabled?

See my post above. Enter the code in the dialer to access the hidden menu. It will bring up a screen that shows some settings, one will be the switch for VoLTE. For me it showed on but grayed out, which apparently is the correct setting. If it shows off, that would mean you aren't provisioned for it and need help from your carrier.

*#*#4636#*#* Thanks, very nice. On my N10+/pie this is the only place were the VoLTE setting can be seen as a toggle which is on. Yay.
Oh, one other note. Wifi calling seems to be working fine, though I haven't had a chance to check its integration with Google's visual voicemail.
What I notice is that the decision to use wifi instead of mobile is kinda hair-trigger. At my home, LTE bars are low but calls always work just fine. However, now with wifi calling turned on (with preference being mobile network), the system usually decides to use wifi anyway due to low signal. I also noticed at a grocery store, where my phone auto connects to their wifi, that when I was in the back of the store (weak LTE) it switched to wifi calling mode, then switched back to regular mode in the front of the store (strong LTE signal).
So, the system is conservative and moves over to wifi pretty often rather than treating it like a last resort. I guess that is good behavior.

I have an unlocked P6 direct from Google on AT&T. I have it greyed out but on. Does that mean I need to contact AT&T?
I had never gotten wifi calling set up on anybody my previous phones, so I definitely needed to get that turned on/provisioned for my account. The rep also told me that adding my non-ATT IMEI was needed; indeed several options became available once that was done. I don't think anybody this was needed for VoLTE though.
So pat of this might just have been due to my account history.
To cap this off, I got a wifi call just now and it transcribed fine.

Not needed for VoLTE on AT&T as I can switch the sim card between my AT&T N975U1 and unlocked N975U seamlessly. However I never use wifi, tethering or more advanced features on these two devices... so no idea about that.
