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.
Guys,
This still isn't fixed for me. I'm checking back every few days but it's not JUST related to the Pie update.
We’re seeing it across multiple phones, though it does seem to be related to Samsungs.
The only fix we've found is when we're at home, turn on AIrplane mode, then MANUALLY enable Wifi and blutooth with airplane mode still on. This temporarily "fixes" the issue and it doesn't try to switch back to cellular.
Of course, you need to remember to turn OFF airplane mode when you leave the house, which is also a PITA, but at least you won’t miss calls/texts at home.
TMOBILE: FIX THIS PLEASE. It's been problematic for the last TWO firmware updates.
If you can’t get this working I’ll be switching carriers.
