How can I put the Visual Voice mail app on the home screen on my S22 Ultra ?
I have been using Samsung phone & T-Mobile for years. I recently got an S22 Ultra. I was surprised not to find the Visual Voice mail app anywhere in the application list (slide screen up from the bottom). Yet, doing a search for "visual" at the top finds a Visual Voice mail app with a green icon. However, the only two things that can be done with the search result is to open the app, or get the "app info" (long press). I would like to add the Visual Voice Mail app to my phone's home screen, as I have been doing for years. How can I do this on the S22 Ultra ?Will unlocked phones work with T-Mobile Wifi calling ?
If I purchase an unlocked phone, for example an S22 Ultra unlocked version, will I be able to make Wifi calls on T-Mobile ? This is assuming I use a T-Mobile SIM with it, or eSIM, of course. The reason I ask is that I have no reliable cell coverage at home. Neither 3G/4G/5G offer reliable signals in all places in my home from any operator. A T-mobile cellspot in-home LTE tower also does not cover my entire home. The only thing that works reliably is Wifi calls, using a combination of 5 wireless access points. My current phone is a T-mobile version (Note 20 Ultra) and works with Wifi calls. I need my next phone to continue to work with Wifi calls. Some unlocked phones are available for significantly less than the T-mobile versions, for example the S22 Ultra version sold by Google on Fi is $700 vs $1200 on t-mobile.com . But will it work with T-mobile Wifi calling ?S22 Ultra & Wifi Calling Doesn't Work Correctly
I was using an S21+ on T-Mobile using Wi-Fi calling preferred for over a year very successfully. I purchased an S22 Ultra and turned on Wi-Fi preferred. Here is what I've experienced. In about 65% of my calls the first 5 seconds to a minute are VERY, V--E---R---Y S---L---O--W. Speech is slowed down very significantly and shifted dramatically to the base side. This makes interacting with commercial phone response systems difficult to impossible. This happens even calling T-Mobile 611/customer service. After this first period wi-fil calling seems to settle down and work correctly. IF you can get past the problem portion of the call. Again, this problem NEVER happened with the S21. I don't know if this is a Samsung issue or a T-Mobile issue. If this happens to you please report it and request a trouble ticket number. If enough people report it maybe the problem will be corrected.
5G coverage is Trash in Austin, Texas
Hey ya'll I'm in south austin, texas and have noticed, in the last several days, that my service has been sh!t when on 5G. I cannot load anything, pull up anything, etc while on 5G or LTE. I have to be on wifi which is F'ing me up. I cant go out and check work stuff. It also will not let me download images. Soooo annoying. Already talked to Support too many times and no dice. Im about to go to the store and see what they can do becuse this is really messing me up, work wise that is. I have a brand new S22 Ultra, 2 months old. Anyone else notice this lately or something similar to?
S22 Ultra not showing up in trade in list
I'm trying to trade in my S22 ultra 5G for a new phone. Ever since the update, I have no service where I should have it and I'm over it. When I type in my IMEI, it takes me to a screen to type in my model number, but the S22 ultra 5G doesn't show up in the list. My model number is SM-S908U1. How am I supposed to trade in my phone if it doesn't show up in the list? Is that model number popping up for anyone else?
Seriously?!?!?
It was already bad enough I was being made to wait for my pre-order of my new Green Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 512gb until potentially March 25th. Now I do a check on my order and it's been pushed to April 9th! AT BEST! I don't even know who I want to be mad at more! Obviously I know it's Samsung! They shouldn't have launched their dadgum new phone if they couldn't fill the orders and I mean ALL orders by the launch date they set. Kinda turbed at T-Mobile cause they shouldn't put a phone up available to be ordered if they don't have it yet to fill the orders! Especially when they can't even give a set date and are potentially going to push back, LIKE they just did. I currently have the D20 Plus w/ 128gb and it's FULL and since Samsung decided to bend it's customers over the rail again by removing micro SD on the S22, I felt like I should get the big memory with the pre-order promotion of free next size up memory upgrade. So to go from 128gb to 256gb was free and to go to 512gb was only $100 bucks as opposed to the $200 it normally is. They shouldn't even offer 128gb on flagships anymore especially if they're removing extended memory, microSD. Use the 128gb set up on lower tier phones. Flagship should have no less than 256gb from now on. Just like it should have no less than 6gb RAM. Anywho, sorry for the long double attack on Samsung and T-Mobile novel rant. Feel free to do whatever if you agree 👍💯S22 Ultra 128GB version lag
So ever since I bought the phone a couple months ago I have had issues. The UI and virtually all apps are extremely laggy. The camera is damn near unusable and takes forever to start. I have been doing research and found out that it is only the 128GB version that has this. T-Mobile is aware of the issue. Upon calling my local branch, I figured out very quickly that they to are aware of it and have been recieving numerous complaints. They are reluctant to help and simply referred me to the mytmibileclaim website. However if you try and file a claim due the a manufacturer defect they will not allow you to complete it. It will force you to choose an option that states that you got it wet or dropped it. If you answer no to both, they will then display a phone number to call. This is because they want you to pay the $200 deductable for there mistake. I will be calling them tomorrow. But I can assure you... I will struggle to understand the person I talk to because they will not speak English well, and they will not resolve my issue. I will get fustrated and simply switch carriers and sue for any remaining balance as well as the unnecessary charges occurred on my bill due to there past goofs. If you are interested in joining me, feel free to comment. If by some miracle they end up replacing my phone at no cost to me and in a timely manner, I will surely let everyone know and continue to remain loyal as I have been for over 10 years. At least until the next goof.
