After latest update, GS9 keeps defaulting to Cellular Preferred over Wi-Fi calling
I have very poor (but existent) cellular coverage in my home. I had no problems with setting Wi-Fi preferred for all of my calls/texting prior to the latest (large) update. Now, I can select Wi...
¡Hola, @drinktigermilk!
Unfortunately, this is the first post that I've seen around the Support Community regarding WiFi calling taking a back seat to cellular after updating to Pie. We're still working to get answers on why this is happening and what we can do to fix it. In the meantime, we're using this thread: Official Android 9.0 Pie Discussion Thread to track user-reported issues related to Pie. When we have more info, we'll be sure to post it over on the linked thread.
Yeah I have the same issue, "network optimization" keeps setting my preferred method to cellular when I want it to be wifi due to no cellular signal. This started happening this last update to both my wife's phone and my phone.
I know it happened with this last update because I updated my phone first and the update made everything too big on my screen so i had to perform a hard reset. From that day forward I kept getting the notification that "network optimization" has changed my settings back to cellular.
this wasn't happening on my wife's phone. She kept putting off the update until she accidentally pressed update when it popped up as a reminder one day.
literally right when it booted back up and finished updating it popped up with a "networks optimization."
Guess what happened.. it too is now reverting back to cellular preferred. Even after saving the change or in the middle of a phone call it will switch back to "cellular preferred."
Please fix, this is an annoying glitch.
