I was hoping that Samsung would introduce some method to control what network situations wifi calling is preferred or not. I (and my family) have hoped for this setting for years and the change is simple.
When on wifi calling there are times when you are walking/moving around and disconnect, and some networks that you use don't have the best connection everywhere, and thus make for poor calls. Plus on wifi calling you can't use Bixby voice to screen calls (really useful).
So in these scenarios having wifi calling set to prefer cellular avoids all these issues. But then there is the issue of roaming, my carrier has roaming but doesn't allow it if you are "in their zone". So I am sometimes roaming "in their zone" (a very specific area) I can't receive or make calls due to this, but wifi calling won't activate because I have full roaming bars.
The simple fix would be a setting toggle, if on roaming then prefer wifi calling, which was an option on some early wifi calling phones. Samsung should include this option, as it is basically one if statement. Its a relatively easy change that is much better for users. They put the effort into many updates anyways, so making the change would be great. Not everyone has roaming they can use. And even for those who do have it on paper (like me), there may be specific zones where it doesn't work. Maybe even specific networks to use or not use it on in network options. But the roaming change would solve most issues.Please upvote this if you see it and think you would like the option. And Samsung, if you do check the members form please consider the toggle in an update.
Is this what you mean?
It's still there in the Dialer Settings / WiFi Calling.
You have the option to select your preferences to Mobile Network Preferred, or WiFi Preferred.
I don't know if this would be any better for you, but if you Long Press on the WiFi QS Tile, it opens up WiFi Calling settings directly.
You should be able to add it to your QS Tiles.
Click on the 3 Dot Menu Top Right (it'll look different on your device).
Click on Edit Buttons.
Look up at the available buttons you can add to your QS Tiles (You can Scroll to the Right).
Thanks, but Samsung removes it dependent on Region and carrier(found out the hard way). I am in Canada and bought the phone unlocked seperatly. But Samsung still removes several networking QS once the Carrier sim card is installed. It is one of the moves they pull that I like the least. To me it seems soley to get imaginary brownie points with carriers.The hotspot toggle, data saver toggle, and wifi calling toggle aren't available to be added for me. Which is why I used routines to make my own hotspot toggle. Here are some pictures of it in case you were curious. Still, the roaming specific wifi calling setting would be the only permanent fix to this issue for me. I guess I have to keep hoping that it comes in an update soon. Thanks for the help.
